Grand Analog

Just got into some new music. I’m loving them right now.

For Your Reading Pleasure

I’ve asked my buddy Gene to write a little somthin’, somthin’ for the website, enjoy!

A feather tips a ton. You perfectly balance on the teeter totter. Your Buick’s nose sticks over the cliff. The coal shuttle waits at the tracks’ edge into the mine. The slightest tip sucks it in the earth. No light. Coughing air. A feather will do it.
You have a ton of feathers perched to burst above you. They strain the fabric that holds them. The ton can’t hold even one more feather without breaking, tearing, bursting and falling. Soft. No-sneeze feathers. They cloud, catch and fall, drop and stall.
None of these things – none of these things – can measure feathers. Put a feather on your teeter totter, your car, your Disney ride, your average constraining envelopment and you get nothing. No action. Nada.
But at some point, the feather, the dust, the dandelion puff, the snowflake bring down the roof. No one ever figures out exactly which flake, speck or feather is the one.

Updates

Sometimes I go back and edit older posts!
You just have to Dig Deeper to find them.

Portfolio

I never have the time to update this site anymore, as I’m always running around after my 2 year old. I’m going to start to post stuff from work here.

Just for fun

Made this for my alliance on this online game that I play.

Things That I’ve Learned Along the Way

Things I’ve learned:

No matter how well you think you explained it,
There’s still going to be people that don’t get you.

Be Yourself regardless.

The filter from my brain to my mouth needs to be changed once in awhile…

Information isn’t knowledge

Good intentions don’t mean it’s a good idea

I enjoy some of the shows my daughter watches, Barney’s not all the bad!

But I do wish I could get the Macaroni and cheese song out of my head!

My daughter has a lot to teach me about life…

We should all be more like children

Parties with two different people groups are like school dances,
boys on one side girls on the other

We’re not all that different if you take away the outward appearance.

I talk to much and listen to little, perhaps I should buy a muzzle?

You can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but the cooler ones will get read more.

I love bad puns and cliches!
There’s nothing new under the sun and I’m sure that this has all been said in one form or another, so thanks for reading my verbal diarrhea!

Holding On

Syndicated

Just wanted to give a little blog love to Syndicated Clothing. I just bought a bunch of 3sixteen gear from them. They were out of the size for one of the shirts that I ordered, so they replaced it with a shirt that was more expensive, but kept the same price as the one that I ordered. Now that’s some good customer service! Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

If your looking for some gear, check em out!

Words of Wisdom

I got this from Sean Woolsey’s Site. I highly recommend you checking his stuff out. He’s pretty ill.

1. Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and
the willingness to be changed by them.

2. Forget about good. Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to
good you’ll never have real growth.

3. Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going,
but we will know we want to be there.

4. Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.

5. Go deep. The deeper you go the more likely you will discover
something of value.

6. Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.

7. Study. A studio is a place of study. Use the necessity of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit.

8. Drift. Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism.

9. Begin anywhere. John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.

10. Everyone is a leader. Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.
