About Me

Traveling, snowboarding, skydiving, painting, fire spinning, ice cimbing, sailing, laying on the beach, ....
About Me:
&nbsp &nbsp Torn between two minds. One personality is the scientist, the systemizer, reason and logic. The other side is the poet, the empathizer, culture and emotion. Feynman is my left brain, Dali is my right, Einstein is my left brain, Giger is my right.
&nbsp &nbsp There are these two scenes from great movies that I will always remember. The first is Solomon describing Tummler in the movie Gummo. "He sees everything. Some say he's downright evil. He's got what it takes to be a legend. He's got a marvelous persona."
&nbsp &nbsp The second is the film based on Hunter Thompson's book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In this film, Johnny Depp plays Raoul Duke and in a monologue he describes his partner Dr. Gonzo as he stumbles into an airplane waving his hands with the iconic Nixon peace gesture. "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
Journeys:
&nbsp &nbsp My one physical obsession: movement. I travel in order to see beyond seeing. No explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.
&nbsp &nbsp While I may have pictures from just a few different countries, I've seen many world cities including: Ako, Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Barranquila, Baltimore, Boston, Brisbane, Cancun, Carmel, Cartajena, Chicago, Chichen Itza, Charlotte, Cherating, Crete, Cornwall, Dallas, Denver, Florence, Honolulu, Jerusalem, Kuala Lumpur, Lanzerote, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Malolo, Maracaibo, Maui, Miami, Mikonos, Montgomery, Nadi, New York, New Orleans, Oxford, Paris, Philadelphia, Quantan, Rome, San Fransisco, San Diego, Scranton, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Tiajuanna, Tokyo, Toledo, Valencia, Waikiki, Warsaw, West Palm, Zaragoza and many more await....
Duality:
&nbsp &nbsp"You should ask somebody else, 'Cause I've got nothing to lose tonight I misplaced my life tonight, chased all my friends away tonight... I don't say the right things, I don't look the right way, That's just not me...I listen to my music too loud, and watch too much damn TV"
-MCUD
Fire Poi:

My Interests

Dreads, Nappy Locks, Jatta:

&nbsp &nbsp The way I keep my hair is not my way of life, nor my religion. Dreads are sacred only to the enlightened. Not everyone with locked hair fits the same stereotype. For me, they are a personal statement to myself. They demand a second look and stand as a visual representation of wisdom and memories. My Jatta are my rebirth, but new life brings new troubles.
&nbsp &nbsp Not for this faint I nor mourn nor murmered...the still sad music of humanity...whose dwelling is the light of setting suns...
&nbsp &nbsp "Throw that Bob Marley wannabe motherfucker outta here. Safe underneath the skin and jewelry, hidden in her words and eyes is a wall that's cold and ugly and she's scared as hell. Trembling at the thought of feeling, wide awake and keeping distance. Nothing seems to penetrate her cause she's scared as hell"
-Maynard James Keenan
