Are Friends Electric?

Gary Numan was the soundtrack to my teen angst. Along with Ultravox, Adam and the Ants, The Police and various punk rock bands I drummed along or laid underneath furniture with headphones on, eyes closed, escaping.
Today, when things, or friends break down I wish it was as easy to escape as it used to be.
Today's escapes are self exile, and I'm the broken friend.
Or am I going through another form of puberty?
I told my students today, in order to grow sometimes you need to go through some fertilizer, just like the grass. Shit makes you grow.

Hoy me mando...

Le Regresse...







Ma~ana Santa Barbara...

what a week...(trippin' good)

I found out I am a Nommo.
my dreams have been intense
energy getting me up early
sitting me up in the middle of intense dreams

shared with students a view of their future.
many seem more awake in class now
they care and want to be ready
studying abroad and new language lessons are in the plans of many.

rode 21 miles, getting ready for 26
saw a bloody fall, from too much fun










fun has been redefined
pushing harder, going farther

DJed 5 hours
felt like 2.5
made an elder feel like a teen with "wild is the wind"
made up for not having her radiohead request

hearts are open to new sounds
love as a theme
approval of the undeniable
respect and gratitude for allowing growth

viewed a life's amount of art
causes, personal, poignant, critical













a fearless artist
inspiring, humbling

the travel and adventure show
opened up more dreams
to be realized
soon...
