I briefly saw this headline today on some reel but had no time to read more about it...looked it up online and it was from an old Guardian article last July regarding a study about cognitive function between early risers and night owls...no surprise to me really....and not because by nature i fall in the latter category,  but because it's still at night...it's quiet....that's why I have always preferred it.... there is something so intoxicating about the quiet.....in my youth i'd sometimes choose jazz...it was a time to discover davis and coltrane....you could check out the cassette tapes from the library....i'd just sit with the lights turned off and the curtains wide open and let the brilliant rays of moonshine cast their beacons across my space.....i felt closer to the moon....i have davis playing.....bitches brew....i don't understand what's happening.....but i feel it and the moons rays envelope their selves around me...it was hot that summer, with sa...

Thai people can be very blunt, like the Dutch...especially family...you'll immediately know when you've gained weight, lost weight, look haggard (just biked 16km hard), look withered (just woke), look dry (I don't even want to know in what context), look old, look like a crazy person (wearing a poncho), look like a ghost (haven't seen me in awhile), look like a witch that doesn't own a comb - you get the picture.  I used to hate it so much growing up. It's hard enough being a teenager and like everyone wants to point out you have a zit on your face throughout the day, as if you didn't notice. I mean it's cruel! But I learned over many, many, many years that it's just a generational thing a generation was brought up thinking was a way of showing affection...as if to say, I love you and that's why I want to point out the zit so you don't go around public having an unperfect face . They mean well.  As I've gotten older, I've learned to a...

 Over the weekend my son had this photography course he went on with pro Canon photographers, and I thought he didn't want mom hovering so I decided to walk the park...i went off trail to look for monitor lizards and owls...it was a glorious day.....we get so caught up in this modern world with gadgets and flashy distractions...having worked with SEN kids for 7 years I see often how sight and sound can be so overstimulating - and they are right. Just in the grocery store the other day with music blaring and a woman with a mic and a mini amp and a butcher yelling out orders, I too, felt overstimulated.....just too much sound....I found out in the park where it's mostly birdsong, my thoughts seem more articulate...my mind wanders more...ideas pop in my head...creativity flows..... after my kid was done with his course, we decided to rent bikes and bike the park bike course.....im not usually a competitive person unless its trivia games or racing against my son in any form.....so ...

Today, I decided I would combine all episode's of every podcast into one podcast to avoid confusion. Whereas I wanted to separate them before because I grappled with language and subject matter, I just decided I would click the explicit content button and I've done my part. And I've been learning about RSS feeds today. I am not a fan of the digital things needed to be done. Mad props to all those that suffer through it. I'm working on this other homage to Kevin Kerslake. Kevin was a huge inspiration to me as a photographer because I liked how his earlier music videos made me feel watching them....there was something about the over saturation of colors that drew me in. Here's the backstory of why.... One day a 10,000 Maniacs song popped in my head. I thought to myself, I haven't actually seen a 10,000 Maniacs reel or post, nor one for Natalie Merchant. I wasn't what you would call a huge fan, but I liked them enough and thought they made solid songs.....so I ...

I realize I hate uploading stuff to several different social medias, because I simply hate social media....so therein lies the problem because I want people to listen to what I think is a chill and rad conversation, but the idea of promoting it makes me cringe. My peeps are always giving rad suggestions for growth and I'm like, if people find us, they find us.  That said, I've been busy in my personal life...my kid started a new school, I'm looking after my 80 year old mum....its important to prioritize! For the latest episode, it was a literally a spontaneous spur of the moment thing....my dear friend Anuj, who runs the nearly million-strong Legends of Music IG account, told me he was going to do a celebratory post for the 17th anniversary of Glasvegas' song "Daddy's Gone". I said, rad, but you should try and get some footage from James' awesome wife, Molly, because she's a photographer (like her dad!) and I know she's had some awesome footage...
