Peace

I'm most at peace watching the sun dip behind the mountains as it paints the sky.

The end of January...2013?!

I have been terrible at updating this thing, but I think things are going to shift.

I miss writing for writing's sake, I miss the musing. I'm in a constant state of transit these days, both physically and mentally, maybe this is something that I can hold onto a little bit, a home base. So here we go.

I'm currently in Colorado, a little place called Aspen, with a good friend from high school, Chris Loehr. I got to watch my first X Games, catchup with old friends, and ski powder in the legendary Highlands Bowl. Along the way I got the flu, slept on a series of couches, and got some pretty gnarly frostbite. This is par for the course these days, but it's all about rolling with the punches. I'm lucky to have people that can put up with my vagabonding and this stop was no exception!

Now, on to Park City for the Grand Prix and hopefully some more skiing. Here's to a safe day of travels through the jaw-dropping regions of Western Colorado and Eastern Utah. Truly a piece of Mother Nature's masterpiece.

A little tune to send you to a better place (if only for 4 minutes) and to send me on my way. Cheers all, missing you and seeing you soon.

History and stuff

Hey everybody, just want to inform you that today is indeed 12/12/12. And while you may be tired of hearing all of those cheeky little date announcements, remember that today is likely the last time we will see all the numbers match up in this century, and consequently, our lifetime.

So while it may not be 'your cup of tea' to commemorate these dates, enjoy today and remember it, so that if you're ever asked, you might have something interesting to say or at least an old smile for that day way back when, that random Wednesday 12/12/12.  Hope all is well folks, and thanks for the headsup Dad, B EZ.

December to Remember

Most Bostonians are already well aware of this, but to the rest, this cover is pretty great. Let this guy lighten the mood for you a little bit as Mother Nature struggles to decide what season it is, and finals bear down on many of us. Enjoy and B EZ kids..



 

Seu Jorge

Seu Jorge does a masterful job covering Bowie in "The Life Aquatic", here is one of his covers of "Rebel, Rebel". I miss the smooth, easy cadence of Portuguese. Seu Jorge is buttery in this rendition. Great song, cool language, solid cover. Enjoy beezys.



 

checking in fall 2012

I'm probably going to have to rebuild this guy from the ground up after we were all doing so well. Just want to let you know that even though there was a shortage of posts, there was never a shortage of love. As Gemini's cover of Drake's "Crew Love" says, there's a whole lot of love. Keep doing you.



Dreary days can't stop futbol fever in the streets of Havana, Cuba. Kade Krichko, June 2012

My dad is truly a sage when he wants to be. He has an amazing ability to take a step back and put things in perspective for me. Sometimes I wish I could do the same for myself. While I feel that I am one of the more self-aware people  out there, I still have moments of weakness. And I digress...

Here is a great article about the way we approach our lives. Beautifully written and composed, it is worth a once-over (I read it thrice). Check it out and tell me what you think!
