No Tech Tuesday
Ok, I have to say first that I get a real deep down enjoyment of doing things that are hard. The harder it is, the more enjoyment it brings to me.
That idea lands me to where I am right now. I’m worried about my attachment to my computer, ipad, ipod, ect. Not so much that I’m worried that I need them, but I’m worried that I have taken them for granted. I use my laptop, ipad, and...
Morning Coffee With Grandpa
This morning I was given a special chance to take coffee over to my parents house to have a cup of coffee with Grandpa. Grandpa is staying with my parents for the next couple of days and when he was packing his things he forgot his coffee pot. It was a real treat for me though. I guess I should give a little background here;
My grandfather and I have never been close, he has never really been...
Starbucks Organic Shade Grown Mexico
I was fortunate enough yesterday to have a tasting of Starbucks Organic Shade Grown Mexico blend coffee. This was not an offical tasting, during our great conversation with the partners it came up and we decided to have an unoffical tasting. Yet another reason why that starbucks is way ahead of the rest in the district. Bravo to the manager there for allowing room for this sort of thing to...
Wow, it’s awesome how one good starbucks can change things. In the past few days we have found a new place. While we still enjoy the people of our usual place the new one brings balance to everything. I’ll be posting a store review soon.
While we were there yesterday we got to talk for a long time with a particularly special partner. In the course of our conversation we talked with...
Today
Today is going to make a difference, it’s going to be something significant. I just know it, I can feel it.
Please let it be a phone call from Starbucks saying they want to hire me…

My Adventure with Starbucks
Adventure is an understatement here. A big one.
Those who know me best are really tired of hearing about me talk about starbucks, but I can’t help it. It’s a big passion in my life, aside from my wife and family by far the biggest. I can’t put into words any better then my new friends over at the starbuckspassion blog;
From their CSR initiatives to their corporate mandate,...

Suffering
Listening to a talk today from a center in portland I feel like I was hit square in betwen the eyes by a simple sentence.
All Suffering is a direct result of an unenforceable rule
It’s nothing more, and nothing less than that. A child wants a new toy, but it’s mother tells him that they can’t afford to buy that toy, he then is suffereing from the rule he made for himself...

Just finished making some strawberry jam :D Pictures to follow soon!
Having homemade jam is a treat in our house, when the price of strawberries is right and I have some time on my hands I make and can a batch. Tonight’s batch was small, just one can, no sealing needed.
I use a mixture of Cinimon and sugar to sweeten it and no pectin to keep it a little runny. I also put a little of...
I am feeling back again, back to my old self. I have been creating, and actuly like what it is I’m doing. Something deep inside me feels satisfied, yet awake. Tonight I will sleep in a deeper way then I have been able to understand in a long while.
Dreams,
O Dreams,
Come on your silent winds
And fill me with the tides of your colors yet again

What do I want to say to the world?
Age Old Question for me, I have been asking myself that since I picked up my Nickelodeon Photo Blaster.
To be honest I don’t know, I’m just exploring. I like making things that are pretty, but I wish my work to speak of something uniquly human. To touch that bass note deep within us all that drives us to become more then we are now.

A Brush too Close
So there was an accident last night, that took the life to two people. One was a recent Edgewood Grad who I never met. Logging onto facebook this morning though made me feel that in a way I’m still at loss.
The idea of someone dieing young, younger then me, shakes me up. I visited the facebook page of the guy who died, and the fan page R.I.P Wade Young that is full of much of the same....

My Adventures with the Piano, and what that...
Yes,
I’m trying to learn the piano, with what seems like very little luck today. More so though, is the lessons the piano is teaching me.
This is day 2 with that monster in the corner. Yesterday went well, thanks to some well made youtube videos I progressed much quicker then I expected to.
I only made one rule for myself while learning to play the piano

To Be More
To my one follower (thanks Cassie :D )
and to myself.
I want to make a commitment here, a commitment to not let this new cool glowing gem of a thing become like every other social networking site has. I’m not going to whore out my url across my facebook or twitter feeds, I want anyone who does follow me to fine me on their own. I will not censor myself here, and I will not back down....

Overwhelmed With Excitment
I have to admit, I’m that hard shelled, you want a cookie?, oh wow you have flash? well so does everyone else sort of internet information consumer. I spend countless hours feeding my brain with mostly useless information from this screen I hold in my lap every day. It’s very rare that I find something new and think it’s cool.
THIS TUMBLR. THING IS COOL!
Now, I don’t...
