11.5% isn’t much, but it’s a start.

1 Comment

All of the places I’ve visited: A mere 11.5% of the world. It’s almost unbelievable how large the world is. I feel like I’ve seen so much of the world, yet in reality, I’d need several lifetimes (and a large sum of money) to see every country with any sense of depth. I haven’t traveled to new lands in over a year, so I am getting itchy feet. Wish I could afford to go exploring. Need to get that dream photography gig that takes me to the Seychelles, or Paris, or Slovakia, or Peru, or New Zealand, or…

More traveling, more time with friends and family, falling in love…


In Iowa visiting family and friends. heading to NYC in a couple of days to visit more friends and hopefully show my portfolio around. I’m quickly trying to update my website which is in DIRE need of it. My idea that it would only take a “few hours” has become a much bigger overhaul. The most important thing that’s happened since I’ve last written is that I’ve fallen for a fantastic woman in Seattle. She’s beautiful in so many ways and we seem like a really good match. Suddenly my life feels entirely blessed once again…I only wish I was getting more photo work and had a place to live. Since she is in Seattle, I will be too, at least for the time being. I won’t be heading down to San Francisco in August as I’d rather be with this woman than anywhere else in the world. Being with her feels like traveling.

Good morning! Today is the day! I find myself being aware that everything I do is the last time I’ll do it in the house. Had my last night of sleep, took my last shower, made my last cup of tea, and now I’m writing my last blog in this house. I have a lot to do so I’ll keep it short with a quote from W.H. Murray given to me last night by Miss Michaela Murphy:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: ‘Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.'”
-W.H. Murry, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition

Off I go into uncharted territories…

2 more days till lift-off!

Almost finished packing! I’ve been packing for weeks and am surrounded by boxes. Soon I will walk out my front door for the last time. It’s bittersweet, this huge change. On the one hand I know it’s for the best, as I’ve been stagnating here for years… but on the other hand, I love this place. It’s been my home for so long. I have so many memories here and returning to Seattle without a home to come back to is going to be…difficult. So, for all my friends who are wishing me a bon voyage… please call me when I get back on APRIL 24th, and check up on me because I WILL BE FREAKED OUT about not being able to come back to 419 12th Ave East. I’ll try to write once more before I go start the new chapter of my life. If your name is Kourtney, I’d especially like to hear from you. You are why I started living here in the first place, and I miss you.

NEW BOOK!

Two years ago today, I was in Vietnam. A year ago today, my sweet cat Grover died. Today, I am releasing a book on my travels to SE Asia. Life is happy-sad-bittersweet. I also want to mention to all of you who do not know…the house where I’ve been living the last 16 YEARS is soon going to be sold. I will be moving…at long last. The very idea of packing 16 years of collected things and moving makes my stomach burn and leaves me unable to sleep. Anyway, check out my book… and buy one.

PEOPLE’S DESIRE

To Oppose those relying on external elements, acting as stooges, holding negative views (of the government).

To Oppose those trying to jeopardize stability of the state and progress of the nation.

To Oppose foreign nations interfering in internal affairs of the State.

To Crush all internal and external destructive elements as the common enemy.

Of any place in the world the US should be meddling, it’s here. This government is horrible. Worse even than China.
