bitter at the cusp
i'm overcome by your success
crushed by your crowds
defeated by the wind in your sails
the cheers and the smiles
i know we tread callings
but all i feel is the deep

i'm not in the kitchen
and i'm not at your feet
just get me in the room

Home for now

I have been house hoping with GV for weeks now including a church
basement at one point for a week or so. My friends Shane and Erica
have invited us to stay at their place as long as we need to until
we get on our feet even if its for a year they told us.

Having something this certain in our life is so meaningful and
special to me. These are some snaps taken on evening walk
around Marysville Washington.

The last ones of me and my friend Micah are taken by his
little brother Jonah. I think he's 4 and i was teaching some
basic camera things in an Indian restaurant on their mothers
birthday. GREAT TIMES! Enjoy

RICK

MMMMMmmm...YUM. I've been thinking of getting rid of my
semi-hollow G&L for a while now and replace it with a
solid body guitar. I've always had a peaked interest
when it comes to Rickenbacker guitars and this one
especially because it makes me think of bruces
bass. Wonderful wood. MMMMmm....heres a look.

OH and I guess it helps that
Creedence Clearwater Revival had one
in their line up.

CWK!

The boys will be back in town sept. 29th and i'm going. One i've never seen them and two their new record is about to be out and i'm stoked. (aaron you should be out here during that time and come to the show) and anyone else in the seatown area, Its gonna be dope!

PEACE: Think about the Deuce

In 1969 a young chap by the name of Jerry Levitan snuck
into a hotel with a reel-to-reel tape deck to find John Lennon.
He somehow found JL and asked him to do an interview and speak
on peace. These 5 minutes are just swell and are presented with
brilliant design/animation. ENJOY!

The States : Frank Chimero

Frank Chimero is too genius. He's on a mission to convert the states
of America into images that are as distinct as the states shape. Take
a look and be convinced. Sufjan has a challenger now! BRING IT!

Ballard|Aaron

This afternoon i drove by this door in Ballard that i just instantly
foundmyself attached to. Ballard is hip with an antique/modern
thing going for it,its pretty cool to just kick it there, also is down
by the water and locks!Patrick stopped by Archie McPhees and i
ran down the street to snap these photos. As soon as i saw the
rich textures around i thought of my friend Aaron
(look in my pals list)that he would be eating them up so i
dedicate this blog to him!

Please check out his photo/word works, both of creative quality!
