I apologize

Not all coffee is created equal...

This brew will change your life or at least "kick it up a notch!"

When color becomes unnecessary

2010-04-10T23:55:00.000-07:00

New Destiny Studios

When you strip something down into its raw form, it's essence is all you have left.

If that something has power, meaning, and soul... the color becomes unnecessary.

Music is often nothing more than white noise in a hustled life. Just another way for us to fill a gap with distraction. However, when artists are able to capture that Something then music has the ability to change...

It's no longer just the vibration of strings mixed with a clash of wood and cymbals. It's the power behind the music to get your head bouncing right and left, the meaning of the lyrics that instantly brings you back to a powerful memory, and the soul that makes you close your eyes and feel like it was written for you and you alone.

That is when music is more than noise for distraction... It's an experience that moves you.

Where do your throughts wonder to?

Alright guys, its time for some great music here in the valley!

Tomorrow night a great friend of mine is going to be playing live in downtown Albany at the Calapooia Brewery. David Samuel mixes a range of styles into one Funky-Bluesy jam session that will have you bouncing with every beat. His sound is ADDICTING. The excitement and energy of his music makes for more than show, it is an EXPERIENCE!

Do yourself a favor and COME OUT WITH US ON FRIDAY NIGHT!

I was taking a look at my stats and saw I have a visitor from the British Virgin Islands!

I was very stoked to see that people from over 14 countries have stopped by to check out my photos.

That is the coolest feeling on this little green and blue rock!

THANKS TO ALL FOR CHECKING THE PHOTOS OUT!

Leave a comment and let me know where you guys are from!

Johnny Cash

2010-02-23T20:33:00.000-08:00

I am sitting here, half a glass of beer in front of me, and listening to Johnny Cash with the housemates. One of my favorite people on the planet (Cpt. Boomer B) loves Cash. The last night I spent with Boomer and the rest of the O Star crew we were at Pusser's Bar in West End, B.V.I.. After three months and almost 1500 nautical miles of sailing, we sat around the helm of O Star, finished off the Pusser's, and listened to Johnny Cash.

You should see the smile on my face as I think about that night. It's a blur of stories, drinks, and laughs...

One Jimmy Buffett would be proud of.

I am heading to the coast this weekend to research our coastal boat building community. I am pretty stoked about the opportunity and am making the most of the trip! I have a major addiction to boats and would love to find a job in the industry.

If you know anyone....

I am taking a camera and will defiantly be taking as many photos as possible! Look forward to some cool stuff this week!

I think this week I am going to post my favorite quotes.... Get ready to get nautical!

2010-02-15T13:05:00.000-08:00

the night, i think, is darker than we can really say

and god’s been living in that ocean, sending us all the big waves

and i wish i was a sailor so i could know just how to trust,

maybe i could bring some grace back home to the dryland for all of us

say what you say, you say it so well

just say you will wait, like snow on the rail

i been combing that train yard for some kind of sign

even my own self, it just don’t seem mine
