Freelance writing, journalism, and the state of the written communication medium.
There has been a lot going on, but not a lot that's newsworthy. By the time this post goes live I will be leaving Texas and making tracks northeast. It was supposed to happen in early June but whatever...life often has its own plans. I've made good use of my time in Texas though, on … Continue reading Finally, The Journey North Begins
This news is highly deserving of being told, but it has also already been told in detail, just yesterday. While normally I would just share the article on social media, the topic as a whole deserves a moment on the soap box. Specifically, the lid has been blown off a paid campaign to get MAGA … Continue reading Hashtag Authentic: The Uninfluencer
Good day fellow humans an non-humans. Just a brief note about a post on my other page, Ride>Eat>Repeat. It's from when I went to the Friday Fish Fry below the historic Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church here in Bisbee, Arizona. It's a shorter read than the deep-dives which make up the foundation of the RER … Continue reading Lent and the Friday Fish Fry
The same is true for returning home. You can't come back home, because it will have changed, just like the flowing waters of a river change with every moment. Born and raised in California, I have a lot I dislike about the general direction the people and government want to take the state, but I'll … Continue reading You Can’t Cross The Same River Twice
I'm usually more excited about getting out on the road by now. By the time April comes each year, I've usually prepped the bike for the coming year, mapped out a general route, added dozens of waypoints to visit, and built a spreadsheet of costs and contingency plans. Instead, I'm still at that "coffee and … Continue reading A Map and a Cup of Coffee
Viewing the human experience through the foods we share. I've been grappling with things for a long time now. Johnny Killmore as a "brand" isn't really a brand. It's job is to say "this is who I am and what I do, collaborate with me." It does that job, but the identity isn't the same … Continue reading My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
[Looking back from ten years in the future, little has changed. I have been using the 5.11 Atac 2.0 8-in Tactical Boot for everything. It is literally all I wear unless I'm in soft shoes at a campsite (they also have insulated and waterproof versions). Moto-boots can't handle the trail, so I have to risk … Continue reading Hiking And Motorcycling Boots
Mini-bike racing and an upcoming return to the American Southwest. #jkroams
I helped with a quick write up for a new (to me) charity I volunteer for, and figured I would share. Motorcycle Missions is based in Austin, Texas but does different programs all over the country. However, since they have multiple programs happening this month in the central Texas area, I'm down in Austin helping … Continue reading New Posts Up at Motorcycle Missions
I finally found a movie I wanted to review that involved cars instead of motorcycles, but it had all the momentum of a flat tire. Red Dirt Rising is a 2010 film that felt like a straight-to-TV movie from the 1980's. They clearly had a budget for cars and wardrobe, with the 1930's-1940's era vibe … Continue reading Movie Review: Red Dirt Rising
