TOP 10 REALIZATIONS OF 2011

1. Two eggs. Two baskets. One for work. One for your life. Work is not, and should never be, your life.
2. Happiness is just as easy to switch off as it is to turn on.
3. Never mess with the natural rhythm of your life.
4. No cosmic force is keeping you from working out or quitting smoking. You're either too lazy or just don't want to do it.
5. Visualization takes faith a step further. Positivity works.
6. Our lives have become so public that crying out loud has taken on a new dimension but has lost its purpose altogether.
7. The world's a big tease. There's really nothing new out there. People are people. Wherever they are in the world.
8. Compatibility never guarantees shit in love and relationships.
9. Gratitude is priceless. Be thankful. Even for shit.
10. Do not stop evolving. Ever.

Sea of Change

Sea of Change

Listen to the wind as it howls in the dark of the night
Owls turn their heads in the middle of flight
Something’s coming for you and you know it’s coming tonight
Flashing up ahead you are blinded by the light

Open up your eyes look around you will see the signs
The planets and the stars have decided to align
It’s written in the stars won’t you look up in the sky
Drowning in my bed spinning into a dive

Don’t you see it?
Don’t you feel it?

Standing on the edge of a breakthrough will you face this sea of change
Drawn into the light will you break these chains and brave this sea of change
Don’t stop, don’t hold back
Just feel it, embrace it

Taste it in the air breathe it in take it in and try
Feel it in your gut as it eats you alive
Let it sweep you up so let go and give up the fight
Change is drawing near it’ll grab you at night

Don’t you see it?
Don’t you feel it?

Standing on the edge of a breakthrough will you face this sea of change
Drawn into the light will you break these chains and brave this sea of change
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Just feel it, embrace it

Don’t you feel it?
Don’t you see it?

Standing on the edge of a breakthrough will you face this sea of change
Drawn into the light will you break these chains and brave this sea of change
Don’t stop, don’t hold back
Just feel it, embrace it

Nude Photography

Venturing into nude photography and I need models.

At the very least you have to be comfortable in your own skin and wouldn't mind being published either in an exhibit, on print, or online.

If you're interested, let me know.

On Passion and Relationships

The thing about relationships is it's as temporal as our lives are on earth. Much as we want to make them last, at one point or another (or maybe for the lucky ones, never) magic is lost and you end up with just commitment holding you together. I believe that when passion is lost, the value of a relationship is lost with it. I would rather be single and happy than in a relationship devoid of passion.
