HURRY HURRY HURRY
Ladies and Gentlemen and Children, I am your Ringmaster, and i welcome you to the greatest show on earth. I promise you the highest acrobats, the strangest freaks, and the funniest clowns.
Welcome to video.. ARMAGEDDON
For some reason, whenever I have a guest, I turn into a little kid again. I'm always thinking about the next fun thing we could be out doing, or making the most of what's going on. Throw into the mix that everything was thrown together last minute, and my brain starts screaming.
Do something you've always wanted to do, but never have because you were too lazy, scared, or whatever excuse you gave yourself. I lived by this mantra for a few years of my life, and try to whenever I can now. During those years I learned to DJ (scratch, make music, and match beats), went skydiving quite a few times (2 jumps shy of my license), traveled the world (eastern/northern europe, russia, china, japan), had some gallery exhibitions, was in a few bands, was in a few movies, had a radio show, and completely displaced my life to live on the coast.
Now I'm here, and I'm starting all over again. The problem is that I need to build a solid friendbase of people that do things, not just talk about them or say "i wanna do something. think of something for us to do."
So, my particular problem is that I love to collaborate. I already know what I can do. I want to see what you do with it, then what i can do with what you do. People in the creative realm seem so bogged down by ego that they feel anyone tampering with what they do is sacrilege.
Get over yourselves, already. Knowing a few photoshop filters and some action scripts does not make you worth $80k/yr. Reaching deep inside yourself and spreading your insides all over the table until you know it is beautiful, then shoving it out into the world not caring whether anyone else does is.
So, two questions.
1) Who wants to get together and do something? People who know they are good are invited. Let's get a gallery opening set up.
2) Who is already doing something that wants to talk about it?
Inspiration comes from the perspiration of others.

I'm always down to be a part of the collaborative minds that will one day take over the world.
So I actually went down to Pirate Night tonight - way less hipster than the sushi thing. I guess I'm just a dive bar kinda guy.
I wanna play some music. The good old guitar, bass, drums, maybe keyboards type. It's not too hard to get good enough to get gigs and it's a world of fun!
