Andy Goldsworthy

My daughter Nicole is studying Andy in School and she turned me on to him. I consider his work fascinating and wanted to share it on the blog. I watched his video and thought him a little eccentric but I don't know anyone who's not. Below is a piece about him from one a website.

Andy Goldsworthy is a brilliant British artist who collaborates with nature to make his creations. Besides England and Scotland, his work has been created at the North Pole, in Japan, the Australian Outback, and in the U.S.

Goldsworthy regards all his creations as transient, or ephemeral. He photographs each piece once right after he makes it. His goal is to understand nature by directly participating in nature as intimately as he can. He generally works with whatever comes to hand: twigs, leaves, stones, snow and ice, reeds and thorns.

Good Morning Starshine

Every once in awhile I like to change what I'm doing. It could be anything from clothes, shaving my mustache, taking a different way home, etc.... Today I felt like listening to ,what I call, 60's flower songs. I listen to some mommas and poppas, etc..
But the song that really got me was Good Morning Starshine, OOOF!! I had to sing this when I was in chorus in junior high and ever since then it really appealed to me. My daughter listened to this with me and said I was gay...... So I'm gay big deal. :o) I really like the song. I put two versions on. Even though I like the new one, I still prefer the old one. I guess that's what happens when you're older.

Global Coherence Project

I just discovered this new site and new initiative. This resonates deeply within me and I want to make as many people aware of this project. the web site is

http://www.globalcoherenceproject.org/

I discovered it while looking up Greg Braden's web site. One of the reasons his site and this project appeal to me is because being the technician that I am I sometimes need a scientific explanation to better understand some things. Although I have become more intuitive that tech side to me is very strong. From what I gather these folks are mostly researchers and scientist and it's very interesting and gratifying to see that they're discovering things that certain people have felt and taught for centuries but weren't part of main stream culture. They do sound a bit dweebish but I'm a person who prefers more emotion so take that with a grain of salt. :o)

Please take a look and see for yourself

Strange Dream Sept 6 2008

Really quick. I had a strange dream that I just remembered parts of. Forgive the lack of details. I was with a Chinese Group and there was a Chinese Lady who was an elder or a teacher. She was talking to me going over a list she had in her hand. This list was things or traits I was supposed to achieve. According to her I was just about 1/2 way there but had some to go. these were a varity of things, like patience and certain psychic skills. I know she said intuition was to be a focus as of late. She made a Hmf sound like I better get going. There was more to the dream but I cannot remember. This part I remember the most clearly

The Latest

Well my birthday just past and now I'm 43 years old. I continue to be fascinated by the fact that I'm in my 40's. I truly feel like a 25 year old. Though my body reminds me from time to time (more on that later). My daughters made me a beautiful cake that I truly appreciate and love. I haven't had a piece yet but I will before the night is over.



I ran a half marathon on my birthday and didn't do too bad. I took 14 minutes off my last half which is really good. For you runners I did it in 2 hours and 11 minutes; that's roughly 10 minutes a mile. I'm hoping to break 2 hours on my next half in 2 weeks. Anyway, I hit the wall with 2 miles to go. I pushed myself a little harder than i should of and my body reminded me that I'm in my 40's (told ya).All of this is in preparation for the NYC Marathon Nov 2. Which I am deathly afraid of in terms of doing poorly in the race. I think this is going to be my last NYC Marathon and my last with my family. Josh graduates this year and he wants to break out when he does. Hence we want to make this event special. I want to do a personal best. My best NYC is 3 hours 59 minutes.. Wish me luck..

I Love September

I love September, Below is a poem I found on line. And I really like the picture which describes part of me. Loving the road and always changing. Pretty Neat Blessings September Changes

September is like no other It's days change color and weather No other month can say quite the same For every day, I can feel the change It's cool breezes start out warm, Changing to cold throughout every storm The leaves change and fall As the Summer leaves and Autumn kisses us all September maidens feel the change Like the blue of the sky Yet the color so deep Unbelievable beauty Maidens fall throughout and watch Each raindropp changing through colors so fast Yet one streak remains the same Of that wonderful sapphire rain. September, unlike any other Holds you tight, in any weather. Changes come, no matter where you go North and you'll get stormy snow South and feel the heat of summer coming September does this, no matter what. Change lives within, Nothing to stop September is beautiful And awesome all the same It's hope for the future and the change Comes swiftly as we sweep away The Summer ends and the Autumn begins Change is all around With one maiden leaving And yet, another comes Born into the world Of wonderful September The sapphire skies live on Through out this wonderful September Jessica Millsaps

I burn for You

I luv Techno :o)

Question Authority (a compilation of thoughts)

Usually when I post I write my thoughts then find some nice images related to what I wrote. Today I'm doing the opposite. I found this one image while I was looking for some other pics.

In high school I had this one t-shirt that I wore more than any other. As you can guess it said "Question Authority" on it. Being the rebellious soul that I was that was my motto. When I saw this pic I wondered to myself if I would've ever moved away from religion as quickly as I did if I saw this t-shirt back in the day.

Anyway, Jesus did question authority in his own way when he was around. All of the established authority figures weren't to fond of him to say the least. I find it interesting that some institutions preach that we should follow his teachings without question when questioning was one of his basic teachings. Besides how can you find answers if you don't question??? Part of the wonder of life are the discoveries you make as you move through it.

So go ahead and question. Question and find your answers to your own wonderful path in life.

Bigfoot Chronicles

I know there's something significant going on in my life because my friend big foot is back in my dreams. I know I have an issue I have to deal with that I have been avoiding because that's what I'm doing in my dreams, avoiding him... Even when I wake my thoughts are of forgetting about the dream rather than trying to figure the meaning. stay tuned

Blogging at work!!

I can't belive it... I'm blogging at work... OOOOOF!

I don't know what it is but I just can't get into my job!!! It's a great job, it pays well, it's in a technical area, which I like. The people I work with a good also. It's just I don't feel comfortable. I don't feel like I'm having an impact. It's become pretty frustrating.

I know the solution is to find something else and go for it. But between my fears and my indecison as to what else I want to do, I can't make any movement. All I know is that I want to do something where I feel I'm having a positive impact and making a difference. I feel guilty because a couple of years ago (when I was unemployed and dead broke) I would've done anythign for this job..

Wow... Talk about venting... I still am very grateful and do appreciate what I have.. especially my gang and beautiful wife.. I guess I just need to be patient and look for the next sign. :o)

My Last 1/2 Marathon

This weekend I ran the Flagstaff 1/2 Marathon. It was the hardest and one of the most beautiful 1/2 marathons I've ever run (Sedona is still #1). It was a great race though and i can't wait till next year to do it again. My family came up and we were suppose to go to the grand canyon after the race. Unfortunately 2 things prevented us from going to the grand canyon that day. One the rain and two me getting sick from pushing myself too hard. We were actually on our way to the gran canyon when the rains hit really hard and we decided to turn around. I keep saying it was divine intervention for two reasons. One because I was so sick, like I said earlier but two because I decided to face my fear of heights at the GC. I guess it just wasn't time yet. :o)



Anyway I'm posting some pics and a short video Nicole took of me trying to embarrass my daughters by dancing in public and the kids talking about curls. Hope the camera movement doesn't make you too sick. Enjoy

Titania has given me this very beautiful award. I do not think I am deserving of it but I am very flattered and honored. I am also late in posting and following the rules below so please accept my apologies. Thank you very much T.

The “Arte y Pico” award was created and to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and their talents, whether it be writing and/or artwork in all Medias. When you receive this award it is considered a “special honor”.

These are now the rules to follow:

1. Recipients must pick 5 blogs they consider deserving of this award for creativity, design, interesting material, and for contributing to the blogging community in whatever language.

2. Each of the 5 selected blogs must include the name of the author and a link to his/her site to be visited by readers.

Time to catch up

My blogging has really fallen off. I think part of the reason is that we have become more active and the time isn't there as much as it used to be. Anyway, I wanted to catch up on the week because allot has happened.


First of all last Sunday was Pam and my anniversary!! We've been married 18 years and been together 20 years. I luv and cherish her now more than I ever have. The beautiful thing is with each day we're together and sit and am grateful for what we have. Now, like anything else in life, the road had allot of twists and peaks and valleys. There were a couple of times when the marriage was in jeopardy. Not something that I brag about but I mention it to show that marriage isn't always sweet and wonderful. It's something that grows and evolves like the people involved. Like anything else you're always reinventing it.

The bummy thing about my anniversary is that I was on call so I ended up having to go to work 3 times that day. YUCK!! Se La Vi. Pam and I decided that on my birthday (Sept 6) We're gonna take some private time, go to Sedona and celebrate our anniversary. I'll be 43 this year for anyone who's curios.

Another life changing event that happened this week was My youngest daughter and my son left for Pa for the summer (6 weeks). This is the first time they've been away for that amount of time and it has had a deep impact on me. I took them to the airport and shed a couple of tears after I dropped them off. My gosh, my son is 17 and I can still remember the first day we put him on the bus for kindergarden!! I am so proud of him. You can imagine what I'm going to be like when he graduates this year!!! OOOOF! My daughter Shelly the independent spirit of the family, I smile as I know this will be the first of many adventures for her. It's funny for Josh, I feel that I only have a year left so my sense of urgency (and wanting to spend more time with him) is greater. With Shelly I know I have more years. But I've learned, with Josh, that they go by quickly. So I'm learning to take the time and cherish the little things. Too many cliche's in my writing today. Sorry but I'm creatively limited this morning.

Nicole got her contact lenses this week also. My how different she looks with them! I really don't know if she's gonna stick with them because she's been having a heck of a time taking them out and putting them in. It's kinda funny but I feel for her. Also, Nicole starts her new school this year. It's a charter school that focuses on the arts. She's concentrating on photography. She has become quite the young lady. OOOF


It has been a week that's caused me to be very reflective. It's brought me great Joy but also a sense of sadness. I remember a woman saying when I was young about her kids, "If they could only stay that age" I now know what she meant. I have been and continue to be sooooo blessed.

Happy Fathers Day

Want to wish a happy fathers day to all the folks that are fathers, Whether they're biological or not doesn't matter. You could be a woman, brother, friend , cousin, anyone. Anyone who is loving enough and brave enough to take on such a responsibility, happy fathers day and I send you love and blessings.

I grew up without a father, he left the family when I was very young, so much so that I don't even know what he looked like. I met many people whom I was told to call dad or who were expected to fill the fatherly role; they didn't do such a good job. Then I met a couple of people in my young life who filled that role and helped me immensely, my dads. I do not know if they realized the impact they had on my life but they were special people. I want to thank them.

I'm a dad now of three very wonderful children. I take the lessons I learned from those special people and use them to help me become a better dad to my children and the dad that I am today.

Happy Fathers Day

Hip Hop Styling

I was hanging with one of my younger coworkers today for lunch. He gave me a ride in his wip and we had lunch together. It was truly an experience. Anyway he gave me a copy of this cd he made of hip hop tunes which I liked when I was in his car. I took it home to make a copy.

Soooo, I go home and start playing it on my computer. My daughters run in in amazement yelling "Dad, you listen to that?" Of course I start playing like I'm cool and say "of course, I'm even gonna start dressing the part" So I pull my shorts down on my hips and start dancing. My daughters start laughing at me and quickly point out that if I wanted to dress the part I had to wear boxers and not whitey tighties... Oh?!?!? I didn't know that....

Apparently not only do you have to wear boxers but you have to puff the boxer so there's a hump... Uhhhh OK.. Hence the picture above. My son wears boxers but he didn't want to show me how it's done. Oh well... Anyway I still like the tunes but I think I'll stick to wearing my clothes old school.

Going to San Fran

Hello;

I'm going to San Francisco for the week for some training related to my job. Not that I have been posting much and I apologize. I guess things have been really busy and I have to start writing things down more. During the day I'll think of something and think "I want to post that" and when I get home and in front of the PC I say to myself "what did I want to post again?". I'm taking my daughters camera with me so hopefully I'll have some nice pics also.
