the Pink Floyd Xperience
They all were there. Young and old. Large, thin,beautiful, ugly and everything in between. Drunk…stoned…sober… And I was in the middle of it all, enjoying the Pink Floyd Experience show, that premiered in the SLC last night at Kingsbury Hall. Knowing that I would never see the genius of musicians such as Syd Barrett, David…
Bryanna the artist
So my friend and fellow King’s peak climber from last summer, Anna, loved one of my video’s I randomly shot outside of the Pantheon that she asked me if I had any photo’s of Rome’s street musicians for her to paint. I had no idea Anna was an artist, and immediately asked to see her…
from the ashes of Mt. Vesuvius
While in Italy, one day I ventured with a lovely group on a tour of Pompeii. This has always been a place I’ve wanted to visit, as I find what happened there tragic, but also a perfect example of the awesome power of nature. For those who do not know, Pompeii was a thriving little…

sure I’ll ingest arsenic and chorella
The winter pollution inversion here is smothering me, like a psychopath covering it’s victims mouth with a dirty, oily, stained blanket. The suffocating air caused my normally healthy immune system to fail over the weekend and I succumbed to the flu. Being too weak to drive to the store, I was forced to use whatever western medicine was at home….
Epiphany
I’ve been somewhat intimidated lately to write anything. I’ve discovered some truly great writer’s blogs lately and in reading them I’ve asked myself, what am I trying to do with my little section of the internet?? But then it came to me. As much as I find beautiful inspiration in Mysterg’s words, or solace in the…
What if… William Shakespeare wrote The Big Lebowski?
I’ve heard the internet rumors that this had been done, but I finally found it! ( i’m geeking out!) Some talented chap by the name of Adam Bertocci has converted the classic Coen Brothers film, The Big Lebowski, into Shakespeare. Brilliant! ( as those two beer drinking fellows would pronounce).
