Abandoned Playground!

The opportunity to find happiness dances with every moment, beats within every heart, and grooves within every occurrence, situation, and event!I broke into a graffiti artist's dream today. The No Trespassing Sign was basically a Welcome Mat!

"I am not what is called a civilized man, Professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore, I do not obey its laws!"

quote from Captain Nemo's 20,000 leagues under the sea Gigantic Open Warehouses evoke so much creativity! I am soon to return!

The 86 ton Princess!

O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done,

The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;

But o heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead

Fear Not you Mollusks!...Captn is Alive and Well...!

aka Jon Truppa is one "First Rate" Mate!

He drives this 68 foot beast for the Red and White Fleet.

Only an experienced seaman like Truppa knows the ropes.

He slips her into her spot without a scratch

Where others have beaten her up and smashed into the pier.

He let this Groggy Sailor take the wheel..even when he's 3 sheets to the wind!

And therefore it was a "bitter end".

poem by Walt Whitman - O Captain! My Captain!

Local Celebrity

Birthdays kick Ass!

Make a wish!

I can give you at least 10,000 reasons to be happy!

A Really Cool Kid!

Have kids gotten "Cooler" these days?

Cameron is among one of the coolest kids I've ever met.

Though it shouldnt be suprising since he has such a Kick Ass Dad!

The Richest Man

If anyone shines its Rachel!

Some people are oblivious to the influence they have.

That's how my day started.

Only to get more amazing by the minute.

I must be magnetized.

Erin knew the origin of Starbucks.

Peter has been to Phillips, WI...home of the best Beef Jerky!

Marie stopped me on the way to the post office.

Gave me Whaledreamer!

Changed my life...

John Lennon's inspiration lives on!

Then Toby said..."Thanks for Brightening up the Town!"

This is where I belong!

This is the Westport I love...

This is my Backyard.

My Paradise.

My Sunset.

and oh yeh....

I like long walks on beaches and bubble baths!

Do you believe that?

Do you believe in ME?

Look like my Painting/Birthday Party!

It seems only appropriate that on someone else's birthday I would make them wear a ridiculous outfit for my own pleasure!

Happy Birthday Jen!

Kayaking Friends!

Keep Out and Danger.....?

GET REAL!!!!...before I PooP on You!

Those floating signs are invitations to this reckless one...!

I cant remember exactly when it started..?

But I love trespassing!

Those buoy's should read...

Welcome Kyle..you adorable little rebel!

So we 3 waterbugs explored the old marina.

and saved the Princess from the tower!

My friend Tom makes boats and painted his latest one "Ghettotastic"! He is very talented but is not the best dresser. Then I sang, "I'm gonna dress you up with my love... All over your body".

...and My friend Scott came along too! He owns the Little Mermaid on VHS. He's not very fun but I feel sorry for him because he doesnt have nearly as much chaos in his life as I do. So I always try to include him with my drama! I took Scotts picture lots of time. He started saying so many BAD words and threated to murder me in my sleep. (Like I'm scared). Did you know all porcupines float? its true!

and then I sang my favorite song.....

Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cried...If I dont get Rye Whiskey I think I may die........ If the ocean was Whiskey and I was a duck.....I'd swim to the bottom and never come... Quack Quack!

Important Mexi-Message!

Mornings like these kick ass!

MAJOR UPDATE: today was Sweet!

Chasing Rainbows!

Wake up....!

See the World differently...!

Change your prospective!

....

Today I rescued some things from my past.

As soon as I put the last item in my truck it started to rain.

And then a Double rainbow appeared!

For Buddhists, the rainbow is "the highest state achievable before attaining Nirvana, where individual desire and consciousness are extinguished."

It was Extra Special with Extra Action!

and then it was Extra Shitty!

The poor Dog.

Guitar Friends

Annie is one of the most creative people I know. Umungst all of her special talents she plays the guitar and teaching me everything she knows. She played me Blackbird and sang. But it sounded like a Choir of Angels!
Wow! This guy looks totally chill. What a cool dude! But actually his is screaming inside while he builds up the callases on his hands. My dream is to play "A chicken with its head cut off" by a campfire on the ocean and make the partner of my dreams Swoon! But it will probably sound like this or this!

Dont be a Bitch!

Nature Altering Experience

Some things should just be done for the fun of it!

Not because they're inexpensive, practical, organic, logical, fashionable, modest, brilliant, green, expected, proper, spiritual, thinning, fattening, prudent, or allergen-smoke-chemical free.

so Please supersize me!

Dammit!

Dont go Chasin Waterfalls

Fireworks from Noyo Harbor!

Went out on a Commercial Fishing Vessel in Noyo to see the fireworks.

Met some real salty's with Herman Melville stories.

Also saw thousands of tiny jellyfish floating around!
The fog blocked most of the fireworks but it was a fun nite!

Fun Sunday -Pride/Boating

Sexy Girly Boys and Boyish Girl from Pride! Boating is a great thing. All around. There is no reason it should be perceived as a sport for the rich. Being on the water is a calming, wonderful thing. I highly recommend it.
- Chicken John -

I went out with Tom after the Pride Parade. Made a pitstop in SF to refuel on Beers! Fun day!

Michael Jackson... Look what you've Done!

There are few people that can say their lives have NOT been touched by the King of Pop!

My 3rd Grade Teacher Chantel Francin taught our class a dance routine to his song!

Lets Dance! Lets Shout!

Michael Jackson's LP was the first album I ever Purchased!

I'm Proud to say I Danced to Thriller and PYT last nite in SF in his memory!

Michael leaves us with a legacy of No. 1 hits, top awards and astounding dance moves!

Kayaking for Coffee!

Woke up late morning and threw a kayak in my backyard

Still asleep I stumpled onto a sunken Steamboat?

But made under the Park street Bridge to have some coffee with Heather!

and Lacy too!

Vacation Spot!

In Iceland, they actually hunt and eat puffin. Apparently..It tastes very nice (like venison, but less gamey, with a similar texture to beef). The most entertaining part is how they catch the puffins. You go to the top of a windy cliff - preferably one with plenty puffins flying around near it. You then take out your net, set it up, and wait! The puffins fly straight in to the net, you bonk them on the head, and then you pluck and roast them! Yum!

Man vs Machine

Its best to look your opponent right in the eye of the needle when you 1st enter the ring. If you have ever had a "match" with red thread...you know what i'm talkin about!

I starred into the bobbins face and wrestled the with the material!

and then I broke the sewing machine!

so......I win!

A Day of Optimism!

"Starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America", Obama said

After a hopeful speech given by our new President, Fern and I drove furiously around the city in search of a Mimosa Celebration for ourselves! After 3 strikes we ended up with a bottle of Champagne and Orange Juice on the top of Bernal Hill!

It couldnt have ask for a more beautiful day!

Over the River and Through the Woods..

I went Hiking with my Friend Lucky to the Cabrillo Lighthouse. I didnt make it all the way because he is heavy!

Big Bright Thing at Nite!

Happy Things

Full Moon over the Ocean at 5am (see above), Pillow Fights, Honey in your Tea, Dancing under the Stars, Cooking with a Loved one, Screaming in the Dark, A Pocketful of Glitter, People that make me Glow and the Beatles!

Not Feeling twisted enough to produce art. Which Sucks..! Something great is surely coming. Stay Tuned! I have a feeling that really soon I'm going to be doing a cannonball in the Deep End!

Sorry Dudes!

Everyone wants to feel special and loved.

My apologies to anyone I've unintentionally hurt over the years.

Chasing Rainbows

I couldnt sleep so I woke up early and drove to the Gay Tunnel before work. It was nice.
I'm feeling very charged right now and plan on accomplishing a lot today.

A Walk on the Beach

The other day a friend of mine and I were walking around the Albany Bulb and I saw something I spray painted on a rock last year. Please note Gold Tooth! I am a super great artist.
