Visiting the Pacific Northwest clouds hang low and long. For the first time since high school I want to return. |

"I've got kids, I've got a wife, we're stuck with each other for a while. And suddenly there's an understanding that this is what life is - it's actually the mess, it's the mud, it's the tangle. It's not the clean, hygienic ... fireworks. It's the little invisible novels that get written between two people every day of their lives." - DM |

Degree in hand, I head south. "The horizon leans forward, offering you space to place new steps of change" |

Writing madly, trying to finish my studies. I sit behind keyboard for long hours. Sage provides diversion. |

At the airport in Бишкeк, USAF cargo planes litter the tarmac. Meanwhile, Urumqi China is paralyzed with strife. In the mountains, I find solitude. |

Family holiday to Texas! En route, we cover hills of leafless stubble. The South welcomes us with mild weather... Right place at the right time. |

July 2008 |
|
Unripe mulberries are mildly hallucinogenic... and they're all over our yard. Back home, I tinker with house and trailer. |

May 2008 |
| At Irkeshtam Pass, the Chinese border closes for Golden Week. Stuck between countries, I walk the hills for dayz. Earth kindly accepts my baggage. |

March 2008 |
| I'm in Kashgar studying Uyghur. The police restrict movement and instill fear. I sympathize with the locals who know nothing else. |
|

February 2008 |
| Chinese New Years in Beijing. Western New Years in Hanoi. I get drunk and wander the streets. My wife is pregnant. |

December 2007 |
| Vietnam is a country of contradiction. Collatoral damage from the American war is ubiquitous. Capitalism sprouts like a weed from the remains. Communists get rich. |

November 2007 |
| Following the birds south for winter, I slip into Laos. The Mekong flows, massive and silent. |

October 2007 |
| I roll onto the Tibetan Plateau. It's vast and chilled. Beijing controls by force, exhaling paranoia. Monks are under quarantine in Lhasa. I become sad and angry at something I don't understand. I am escorted off the premises. |

September 2007 |
| Off to Burningman and then back to Rochester, NY. It's nice to be home... We watch movies in the park. Life is fine. |
|

July 2007 |
| I'm in Bakersfield, the armpit of California. The smell of oil wafts through this oven of a city. We get rich off that shit. I escape into the mountains with trailer and 2 cats in tow. |

April 2007 |
| We form the Concrete Discussion Group and hold a "meeting" in Rochester's abandoned subway tunnels. Photos. |

March 2007 |
| The snow finally comes to upstate New York... now, I'm ready for Spring. Time is spent crafting our new/old house, learning about the atmosphere + deep earth, and mixing music. |

September 2006 |
| Skool in New York proves different from life in the Chinese wilderness. More than the environments themselves, I enjoy flux. |

August 2006 |
| In a Kyrgyz family home on the Pamir Plateau, I am detached from the familiar. My body has become seasoned to the desert and fermented mare's milk. Days are spent crawling solo across a harsh, striking landscape. My own pent up shit is released to nature as god. Respect to the nomads who live here. |

July 2006 |
| Angel & I bought a home! It's mad ghetto... But, I see potential. Check back in a year. |

June 2006 |
| The familiar smell of hot oil and pepper assaults my nostrils... I have arrived in Yunnan, China to collect water and rock. The Mekong proves long and deep. |

April 2006 |
| Wandering the New York countryside, I happen upon a nuclear power plant. Exploring the premises, I'm surrounded by a troop of black FBI-style SUVs and told to leave. I was hoping for a visitor's center... Also went to Philly and bought massive speakers. Time to sound my barbaric yawp! |

March 2006 |
| The West Coast draws me close and soothes. Rare thunderstorms gather in Death Valley. I am fortunate to be here now. |

February 2006 |
| Saw Prefuse 73 at a small dive in Buffalo, NY. Shot a 1 minute video. |

January 2006 |
| Illicit gatherings in an abandoned subway. The space is vast and textured. Tracks of mineralized seepage coat the walls. I turn on our speakers and the underground fills with sound. |
