A Life Lived Out Loud
September 10, 2025 Gordon Bufton | Giant Ball of Dirt
It’s 5:28 AM, and I’m wired at Timmies, the kind that tastes like burnt dreams and stubborn hope. The world’s still asleep, but I’m awake, sneezing through the dawn, my soul cracked wide open. Eight hours last night (every hour before midnight is worth two)—9:00 PM to 2:00 AM—dancing through Belleville’s chaos, salsa with Ali and Leo, our feet tripping over laughter and rhythm. I’m grateful for it all: the sweat, the sneezes, the whips and chains of my own wild mind. Life’s a lion-hawk, the Axex of myth, clawing through the mundane to remind me I’m alive.
Proud of the Dance
I’m proud we showed up. Salsa wasn’t just steps—it was defiance. A middle finger to fear, to perfection, to the voice that says, “Stay small.” We moved, we stumbled, we laughed, and in that moment, I felt wealthy. Not in dollars, but in heartbeats. Fulfilled, sneezing, alive. My intention today? To feel. To let the universe’s pulse throb through me, raw and unfiltered.
Connections That Spark
This week, I linked up with three new artists, their passion like gasoline on my creative fire. Proposals are flying—Axex, The Connection Effect, ideas that dare the world to dream bigger. Creativity’s my rebellion, my oxygen in a world that loves its gray. And then there’s JeVon. Man, what a soul. He’s waded through rivers of shit—mistakes, public and private, scars worn like badges. We talked, raw and real, no judgment. Just presence. Love. The kind that says, “I see you, brother, and I’m here.” To learn from him, to hold space for him—that’s a gift.
Lessons from the Cosmos
I heard Elon’s talking about aliens now, spinning cosmic yarns that make my head spin. Is he one of us, or something else? Doesn’t matter. He’s living out loud, and so am I. Walks through Canada’s gritty streets, push-ups that burn my chest—these keep me grounded. But my soul? It’s soaring, transforming, evolving. The Axex in me roars, wings stretching, claws sharp.
The Courage to Be Judged
What’s on my soul today? Change. I’m shedding skins, becoming. Mistakes? We all make ‘em. Some are shouted from rooftops, others whispered in the dark. But here’s the truth: I’m done hiding. Let them judge. Let them whisper. I’m creating, failing, loving, sneezing, dancing—living out loud. JeVon taught me that. His life, his resilience, his unapologetic heart. The world’s a messy, beautiful place, and I’m diving in headfirst.
Join the Roar
So, what’s next? I’m writing my story, one chaotic, glorious moment at a time. The Axex is my guide—fierce, untamed, unafraid. What’s on your soul? What’s stopping you from living out loud? Drop a comment, share your story, or hell, just sneeze into the dawn
