When I finished work at 4 o'clock this afternoon, my intention was to have one singular beer with my very good friends and leave shortly after, get into bed for a serious nights sleep, wake up at 6.30am and head to the gym. Well, it is now 1am. I've just walked my friend home and … Continue reading Gentlemen’s Bicycle Club
Beautiful, Ain’t It?
Earth is a pretty bloody special place. It's a real shame that the leaders of capitalist societies can't look past their economies to see what is really of worth. This is a legit photo taken from a NASA space station recently. I looked for more info about it on the NASA website; Ironically, due to … Continue reading Beautiful, Ain’t It?
Eddie’s Gospel Groove
Some time in March 2009, when Blake and I spent several weeks doing nothing in particular, I surfed for the majority of a morning at the Pass. There was a cyclone swell hitting, the banks were working and the sun was shining like the middle of summer. Around lunch I was back in the Pass … Continue reading Eddie’s Gospel Groove
Surf & Golden Sun
Saturday morning saw perfect conditions in the ocean; a tropical cyclone north of New Zealand sending lines of four metre swell culminated with westerly winds and 25C water temperature. What transpired was a classic morning of waves. I was in the water before the sun had touched the horizon. I managed to Dodge, Duck, Dip, … Continue reading Surf & Golden Sun
NYC
New York is a mystical place, one that everybody seems to be fascinated with. Every photo you see is intriguing and there seems to be so much going on, probably because there is. This one was taken by Sergey Semenov, an amateur photographer who took first prize at the Epson International Photographic Awards. Click on … Continue reading NYC
Let Gratitude Overflow
00.40 in bed. I've been down today for no particular reason, or perhaps a multitude of reasons. I found this short film by Louie Schwartzberg called Happiness Revealed. It's beautiful cinematography combined with uplifting words. Have a squiz.
The Happy Old Man
Until just five minutes ago, I had never heard the name Maurice Sendak. After a quick check with my good buddy Wikipedia, I discovered Maurice Sendak was a writer and illustrator of children's novels and you all know his best seller, Where The Wild Things Are. In September 2011, he did an interview and spoke mostly about … Continue reading The Happy Old Man
The xx – Tides
Loving this song off the latest XX album 'Coexist'. It's a slow build into what becomes a super mellow song about a man and woman separating in some shape or form (I'm trying more so to read into lyrics of songs). The xx have always made beautifully harmonic and relaxing songs, but this one caught … Continue reading The xx – Tides
Detractors Of Reindeer Antlers
Christmas is a time of year when humanity is definitively divided into two groups like the parting of the Red Sea by Moses; lovers and haters of Christmas. There are those who deck their halls with boughs of holly (fa la la la la) and get right into the spirit of jolly old Saint Nicholas … Continue reading Detractors Of Reindeer Antlers
Aurora
I've promised myself to one day go and see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) for real; camp out in the Alaskan wilderness or somewhere gnarly for a while and gaze on awestruck at this real-life psychedelic dancing kaleidoscope in the sky. The aurora occurs when highly charged electrons are blown towards the earth from the … Continue reading Aurora
