it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright.

It feels great to be back in Saint Augustine...even if it is only for a week. I love this sleepy little town. I am the studio with Dustin going through footage from The Thumbs Up Project. He is editing film from his trip to Mexico with Dane. It looks amazing as usual.

I have been feeling a little extra gusto in my life the last couple weeks, which is totally unrelated to my job working for Get Motivated Seminars. My great friend Andy Luce and I have been encouraging each other to "step it up" in many aspects of life. It is crucial to have friends like that. As much as it is possible, surround yourself with people who are pushing you forward, not pulling you backwards.

P.S. The new mewithoutYou album, "it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright" came out today. You should go buy it.

i did it.

I ordered an iPhone.

Dang it.

I am excited to have so much information at my beck and call, yet hesitant for the very same reason.

gnarliness...

I think that blog posts without pictures can be rather boring. This post will not have any pictures, so if you want to stop reading now I will understand and will not be offended.

For those of you who read posts without pictures, this post is a general update on what is going on in my life. If you don't care about what is going on in my life, then you can stop reading now too.

Now, the first phase of "The Thumbs Up Project" has come to an end. It was a good and successful journey, just successful in different ways than I had pictured in my preconceived ideas, which is often times how success works. We did not pick up many hitchhikers. Two and a half to be exact. However, we met tons of fascinating, inspiring, weird, and talented people with many interesting stories. The Thumbs Up Project will be a work in progress. I am going to have do some hitchhiking of my own for phase two.

I am currently hanging out in beautiful Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA. Surfing everyday with Russell Browndogger and staying with my buddy Chris Christenson. I want to move here. I love this part of California.

But...I have to leave on Tuesday. Flying to Maine. I've never been to Maine. I am working for a cheesy motivational seminar, but will get to hang out with some great people and hopefully do some fun Maine things, like eat lobster.

I am going fishing in Alaska again. I didn't think that I was going to, but was made an offer that I could not refuse. I only have to go from June 15 - July 15. A month of gnarliness. Yes, that is a word.

If you care about me enough to have read all of this, thanks and I love you.
