Phil Volatile (formerly Volatalistic Phil) is the crap dice hero saint of orphan love who's been slamming into the speed bumps of life since 1985. A former substance use technician who put down the bottle and picked up a pen is now writing books for general amusement. He's still into women, motorcycles, cars, and wasting time.

The lonely tumbleweed of the southwest currently lives in Albuquerque, NM and is as desperate as the desert is for water. If he's not hustling to get by you can find him throwing dice, sitting in a coffee shop, cruising motorcycles or finding some place quiet to write. He rides in the back of an ambulance going around the city. His favorite flavor is peanut butter.

He hopes his words tear

It has been so long

Wow� it has been so long. Life comes at you fast. Where to start? Maybe I’ll knock the dust off the typewriter and give it a go again.

“When Pisces go to war, there’s never a shortage of broken hearts.”
Volatalistic Phil, White Wedding Lies, and Discontent: An American Love Story

“Now I’m
sober and I
realize, I
didn’t drink to
escape the world,
I drank to escape
myself”
Phil Volatile, Crushed Black Velvet

“When I think about the past and how blind I was in that life, I compare it to being a god and losing everything when being cast out. I had the unlimited power to destroy myself and everything around me. It’s like having been in a cave for years and I’m finally out of the cave. The sun burns my eyes and skin. I don’t recognize my surroundings. No one looks authentic, and now I’m on the hunt for people that have the pieces to my puzzle that will help me on my quest. I have no cave to hide in, and I’m just left with the sediment of a previous life and my own mortality.”
Volatalistic Phil, My Mind's Abyss
