2008-03-07 16:22:00 This is a little cartoon snippet (I can’t believe I just used the word “snippet”) from Simon Tofield. I had to post it because…aside from being funny and creative, it rings soooo true for me. Except, I get much more upset than this fellow. Did I just use the word “fellow”? What is wrong with ...

The Ghost that carried us away.
2008-03-06 18:30:00 Listen to this great sample song off the album “The Ghost that Carried us Away” by “Seabear“. Itunes had been persistently recommending this each time I made a purchase though I continued (it seems) to pass it by each time. I’m glad I finally gave it a listen because I love it! This song is called “Hands Remember“. Because ... More About: Music , Life , Album , The Ghost
Beautiful work
2008-03-06 18:03:00 I wanted to show off some work by a local artist here in Utah. Her name is Lori Nelson and I love her work.

The Blizzard of ?O5
2008-03-05 01:58:00 Although purchased and advertised under the name “The Blizzard of 05” this album is a collection of songs by the artist “Bleu“. Although, having heard Bleu’s other work, I would say that this particular album sounds very different to my ears than any other work, but of coarse, I’ll let you judge for yourself. Here is ...

The Exquisite and Laborious addiction to blogging
2008-03-04 23:17:00 So, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything new. To tell you the truth, I’ve been working on a new painting and spending my time contemplating in what direction I want to go with regards to this blog and what would be prudent to post (or not). I’ve found it surprisingly daunting to share my life and ... More About: Life , Blogging , Addiction , Thoughts

More good Music
2008-02-26 22:11:00 Here is a sample song and cover art from Jason Reeves off his latest album “The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache” . I really like this album despite it hanging right on the edge of sounding slightly too “pop-y” for my usual audio tastes (If that makes any sense). Plus, It has quite a few really good songs on ...

Something to say
2008-02-26 21:30:00 Here are some examples of work done by photographer Phil Toledano.

Jake

Buried at Sea
2008-02-19 19:12:00 This is a song sample and cover from the album “You can’t win” by “Dolorean“. I wanted to share this song because I was curious about the title of this particular track (33-53.9 N/118-38.8 W) which I assume is longitude and latitudinal coordinates. It turns out the those coordinates are the exact spot where Dennis Wilson was buried ...
Perfectly Strange?
2008-02-16 08:09:00 Here is some work by Eric Shaw. If you check out his website, I think you’ll find it as I did, wonderfully bizarre. Whenever I ponder over such works as these, I can’t help but wonder about the artists process. Does he begin with something in mind, or simply allow the creativity to flow? Hmmmmmmmm…either ...

I know, I know!
2008-02-13 17:52:00 I said I would get some new art up and I’m slacking! To tell you the truth…the person who has commissioned the new piece (you know who you are) prefers not to see it until it’s done and, while I trust that she won’t look at it, I fear that she will enlist “others” to ...

Art Heist
2008-02-11 15:13:00 I just read on CNN that someone lifted a few paintings from an art gallery in Zurich, including the work pictured above by Paul Cezanne.

The Explorers
2008-02-08 18:35:00 Every once in a while, Charlie asks me to make up an original story for him as we lie in wait for sleep. One of those times I conjured up this story about these children who inadvertently dig up a hidden “valve” on the shore of a small lake. Upon turning the fore mentioned “valve”, and with it appearing to have ... More About: Life , Photography , Photos , Stories , Explorers

Radiohead? Lullaby?
2008-02-06 02:40:00 So I found this website that’s called “Rockabye Baby“. It specializes in selling lullaby renditions of rock music to lull your children into a wonderful nights slumber.
