My name is Tacito.

A Poet, Author & Spoken Word Artist with a whole lot to say...

Good to see you all again. :) An update with me...

Blog Posted:11/8/2011 8:04:00 AM
Hi gang! I hope you're all behaving yourselves in here. :)

It's been a few months since I last posted a blog. But, for good reason. A LOT has happened with life. Thankfully, all for the better.

After getting laid off from my job of 4 1/2 yrs, I have now moved out of Jersey and am now in California. I was able to attain a new job. :) YAY! I miss Jersey, a little. But, I certainly feel right in this new state.

My Internet Radio show, Stand As 1, is still on the back burner for now until my routine starts up again. So, stay tuned for that.

Meanwhile, if you're in Cali, hit me up. Otherwise, say hi anyways! :)

Also, I've posted a few new poems as of late. So, take a few to read and let me know what you think.

Finally, my 1st poetry book "As I Stand" is doing quite well! Be sure to purchase a copy on Amazon or Createspace. You'll be glad you did......I'm certain of this! :)

Be good to each other everybody. Life is too short for any nonsense.

OCCUPY -> LIFE

-Drake

Ha, yes Cali is beautiful. SF is stunning and I just returned from San Diego. What a damn fun ride. :) Carrie, I will keep that in mind...I've never been to a Volcanic Park. Sounds dangerously fun. :) Cyndi & Linda-Marie, thank you SO much! And awesome best wishes to you for your move to Italy, Linda! Hi Nikko & Tracie!! :) Nice to meet you Natalie!

ps...we live fairly close to Lassen Nat'l Volcanic Park....when you have time to explore...don't fail to see this national beauty!! It is one of our most untapped, and uncommercialized parks....it's beauty is worth the trip (would be only 3 hours or so for you to see God's country!) Great for camping if you love the outdoors!

We know Sacramento well....have a lot of family living in the Roseville and Auburn area. When you get the chance, explore the Gold Rush country near you...and you aren't too far from Lake Tahoe either. You will have a lot of fun exploring...(not to mention trips to San Francisco!!) Best Wishes and enjoy what lies ahead!
