First night on the cruise.


Peri and I went on this sweet catamaran in
Jamaica that took us out to snorkel.


This is Jamaica right before the most
spectacular thunder storm I've ever seen.


Peri being her cool self.


Peri holding a "see" turtle in Grand Cayman.


This is a little place called Hell, Grand Cayman.

Peri and one of the ship in the port of Cozumel.

Mexico... so this picture did cost us money to take.

The amazing blue water of Cozumel.

And this is a picture I took on a boat Peri and
I took to go swim with some real live Sting Rays.
It was crazy! These things would come right
up to you and want you to play around with them.
It was by far the high point of the cruise.
I wish I had some picture but my camera
wasn't water proof. Also I formatted this for
people who may want it as the wallpaper
on their computer so just click on it and you
should see the full picture.

this is a departure... maybe it's my long hours of playing the guitar tonight... i'm guessing it's my realization that things are changing, and for the better...

my job is getting to be a burden... i'm sick of all the numbers... they are beginning to confuse me... i just don't seem to care much anymore... i get the work done but complacently... i'm starting to see them differently... they stop being numbers and are more like patterns... creativity with numbers wasn't what i was hired to do... i was hired to help turn millions into billions... isn't everyone a billionaire these days?...

i wish i could tap on my piano tonight but for some reason it's not working... i just don't have the energy to fix it... i got home from work, plugged my guitar in, took a nap then played more guitar... i feel more inspired by music as of late... i've just been so blessed by amazing music lately... i hope i don't wear myself out on it...

i miss home... my new nephew doesn't know me... i miss my family... i miss the nights laying on the trampoline talking crazy with brev and colin... i still think of 1998 and wish i would have taken advantage of those times... but no regrets... i've talked with colin more in the past couple weeks then i have in the past 5 years... i miss it... it's nice just feeling his art vibe... same with mike... he knows my secret of the tree on our wedding invites...

this past visit home was great... oakley was so beautiful... i think i could be a farmer... peri's family is so comfortable and familiar... i can't wait to see them more... there is just something indescribable about it...

i'm in love with peri... i get to spend the rest of my life with her... and the afterlife... i hate the days i don't see her, like today... i constantly think about her... 39 days seems hazy and distant... she will be beautiful that day, i know it... my head will be a camera and i won't forget a thing about the day i marry her... soon... she's the most beautiful thing in any room she walks into... soon...

not sure how long i'll keep this up... i don't do this... this wasn't meant to be a forum for my emotions... so this is just my deus ex machina...

One of my all time favorites.
This album mixes 80's synth with shoegazer rock.

Very ambient and epically subtle.
Pay attention and just listen to the sounds.

Raw acoustic folk-like recording.
You could get lost in this album.

So I've been doing a ton of fly-fishing lately. I live super close to a ton of good Colorado fishing rivers. It's been a while since I've updated my fishing gear, mainly waders and boots. So I thought this would be a great time to hand my old stuff down to Peri.

Now, Peri isn't one to be a fisherman. She has a hard time with even the smell of them, let alone touching one. But she seemed out to give it a try..... until.... she saw this picture...


Needless to say I still may get her to join me one day. There is nothing like standing in a cold river, it's just so refreshing. Fishing has also been great lately. Some day's nothings biting, other days I can't reel them in fast enough. They aren't the biggest fish you've every seen, somewhere in the 10'-14' range.

Happy Fishing!

So it's official..... I'm boycotting the Primary song "Primary Colors". The song teaches you so little and there is just so much to learn about colors. I agree that the primary colors are red, yellow and blue. But why would they not mention gray?! This song was apparently written by someone colorblind.

I have a very specific example of this. Hypothetically speaking, say you wanted to wash your red kitchen rugs and you also noticed that your gray bathroom mats needed a washin' as well. Naturally you would combine that 2 loads of laundry to conserve our great nations water supply. So being the good American that you are, you combine them.

Now I'm just guessing but when that load is finished, your gray bathroom mats should be a nice sparkling gray color. But something that stupid Primary song didn't teach you is...

your red kitchen rugs + your gray bathroom mats = your hideous pink/purple bathroom mats.




p.s. - I'm selling some very rare, very valuable pieces of artwork/bathmats I created myself. These will be very hard to come by as these are one-of-a-kind pieces. They are a rare color of Magenta (purple) that I mixed myself. Please make an offer as these won't last long.
