I told the boy when you dream about bad things happening, it means you're still fighting and you're still alive.

"I actually don’t like the apocalyptic genre because I always think of the big event, and what frustrates me is there’s no human dimension in that. The bigger the fireworks, the more you’re distracted from people, from real emotional responses. Without mushroom clouds, meteors, or aliens to steal the show, the father and son’s quest to stay alive while retaining their humanity takes center stage. They’re not sitting back and discussing, ‘Oh and this happened, and this happened,’ no, they’re just trying to live and not die.”

"Mostly I worry about food. Always food. Food and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke."

These boots were made for walkin'.

As a birthday present to myself I plan to put this on a shirt.

You've got a friend in me.

I'm really enjoying Pixar soundtracks this evening! I've just realised how they ALWAYS seem to be so well done. Thomas and Randy Newman, Michael Giacchino (after seeing Up I listened to the soundtrack on repeat) they have some real bro tracks. I remember my Grandad suprising me by bringing home Toy Story on video. Such good films!

"If I were a rich man, with a million or two
I'd live in a penthouse in a room with a view
and if I were handsome..it could happen
Cause dreams do come true
I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you"

awesome!

This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again.

Oh and I just finished watching this earlier!

Never grow old, never die.

Late Christmas presents rule. Awesome vampire related gifts from a rad friend!

I've seen this shirt (the one that the gentleman in the photo below is wearing) a couple times now and I actually love it but have no idea what brand it is. I'm considering just making my own bike related shirts.


These are some designs I'm thinking could work well!

Get on your boike!

Break wide open our heads and fix our broken minds. We're crossing fingers and we hope for the best.

Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.

Trust's a tough thing to come by these days.

I try to walk through the world awake.

I'm currently slaving away (kind of) on an essay about "street art and social responsibility" and for this I've been looking at artists who create temporary artwork. My essay isn't based on this fact it just happens to be something which they are interested in and that I have learnt about them when digging up research material. It got me thinking about how we leave traces throughout our lives. Not in the sense of "changing the world" or anything but little things such as objects or stories past down. I'm interested in the idea that whenever I buy a book or cd that one day I might pass it on to someone and it could influence them in a positive way. My Grandad left some really crude sculptures (which I think are awesome) and I have no memory of my Great Grandma however my Mum often tells me fond stories about her and how she had a difficult life but remained audacious. I feel quite content to be temporary and let those who follow make what they want of my life.

You gotta fight for your right to party.

Heroes fall, heroes break, heroes bleed.

Just finished reading Mouse Guard Winter 1152. Such an awesome story and every page looks amazing.

"All fur becomes grey is the unstoppable truth,

one that is rarely observed while still in youth.

Collect all of what you can while along a life's route:

Lessons, friends, mentors , loves and truths worthy of pursuit."

Nothing but love.

What would someone have to do for you to fall in love with him/her?

My Buddhist practice has shown me that it is incredibly important to love everyone and everything. Love is the base energy of life. It heals and nourishes. I try to keep my heart open to the love that is always available in the present moment. For me to “fall in love” with someone simply means that I am allowed to sink into another person who has also opened their heart. Deep down, we all want to love each other. It’s a shame that we don’t.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Right here in San Francisco, drawing and cycling every day.

Lost fur.

Can't get over how much I love everything about this film.

wishing well.

Bought around 72 albums in 2009 (these were the last two).

Let's see if I can beat that this year!

It's going to be a place where only the things you want to happen, would happen.

My brother walked in with an Odeon magazine opened to this picture and stated it was my favourite. I've had a strange evening so it was a funny/nice little suprise.

First film of 2010
