I couldn't really choose a favorite song of mine so instead I chose a band which has had a lot of influence on my life. I know you are thinking how cliche Led Zeppelin sounds but this band really was a large part of my life. They were my Mom's favorite band, who she had seen live more times than she could count, and partied with them as well. I still remember seeing pictures of her standing with Robert Plant, and the rest of the band. Not only were they a great part of her life but they were also my first real introduction to music that actually stuck with me. They were the first real musicians I ever listened to and helped form my musical taste today. They remind me of my childhood and the innocence of it, and all of the good times I had. Still one of my favorite bands.

This movie is not my all time favorite but it is the only one I can remember that had a great impact on my life even as a child. I remember all the times I would curl up on the couch with a bowl full of popcorn and watch this movie either by myself or with my mom. It reminds me of the innocence of my youth and the time before I had so many responsibilities, as I do now. It is a movie that, no matter my age, even now, I can relate to on some levels. Definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

I have had cats in my house ever since I was born. I have always had at least one or two cats to keep me company when I was sad or happy or just wanted another living thing to be around. Now that I'm not living with my family, I don't have any pets and I really miss them, especially my cat. Cats are also one of my favorite animals so it would only be befitting that a picture of one would make its way on to my blog.

Longboarding has been a big part of my life ever since I started it up 5 years ago. I love the rush of riding fast but also see longboarding as more than just a good time. It helps me cope with problems in my life. If I'm stressed or just need a break I grab my iPod and my longboard and go until I feel better.

This is a photo of the city where I was born and raised; San Diego. I spent 12 years of my life there, growing up, going to school, making friends etc. I spent every weekend for years out on the ocean and in the bay surrounding the city, either fishing, sailing, or just enjoying the ocean air. Now that I live in Colorado I really miss those weekends and wish I could go back.

Similar to the picture above this one; I was born in California. On those weekends that I didn't spend time on the ocean I would go around California visiting cities all around. My mom and I used to go all over, up to San Francisco and Santa Cruz. Over to Los Angeles. Our favorite spot was this little town called Julian. It was similar to the mountain towns we have here. We used to go there sometimes just as a day trip and have lunch. The town burned to the ground in a forest fire when I was 11.

the flag of my heritage. Believe it or not I am actually almost full blooded Italian. Both my mom and my dad had almost full blooded Italian parents. My great grandparents on both my dad and mom's side immigrated to the US in the late 1800's. The other part of my family heritage is English.

This photo shows my love for marine life and the ocean. I have lived on the ocean for most of my life and have always been fascinated with the creatures that lie just beneath the surface. My favorite type of marine animal has to be any of the creatures in the Cephalopod group. They are beautiful, highly intelligent creatures, that move with such fluidity. If reincarnation was real a cuttlefish would definitely be my new form of choice.

Lastly, bears. My favorite animals, ever since I could remember, are bears. I love them all; black bears, brown bears, polar bears, all of them. I don't really know why I like them so much. I think it has a lot to do with my mom, because they were one of her favorite animals too. So in the event that I couldn't be a cuttlefish in my next life, a bear would definitely be my next choice.

This photo struck me as not so much a narrative piece but rather one that links us to the past. It shows the innocence of youth and yet the lack there of, shown by this little girl smoking a cigarette. I enjoyed this photo also because of its compositon. The dark and light contrast between the black background and the girls white dress is very appealing to the eye but also tells a story or conveys a message within itself. Figuring out what this message is however, is something that is unique to who is percieving it.

I found this video of Anis Mojgani to be absolutely fantastic. His word choice and flow is so precise and yet at the same time so natural and flawed. The poems he performs in front of these people, although they may all be different, all have the same theme: live life like it's meant to be lived. Don't let your one chance to rock out, or to be there slip up. shake off the dust that bogs you down. These poems are so deep and complex and yet so easy to understand if you open your heart, rather than your mind, to the words, the sentences, he is saying. He is one of my favorite poets now.

John and Yoko

Two bodies splayed out,

set behind an infamous name. 

Two lovers, splayed out on a neutral backdrop

not knowing the fate that lie so close in the distance.

Sadness, and outcry sweeps across a nation,

and for a moment that neutral backdrop loses its neutrality.

It becomes something of anger,

something of pain. 

Death.

"What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp, or the house be an art object, but not our life?" -Michel Foucalt

 

I completely agree with this quote. Art is no longer something of self expression or emotion or life. Art has become nothing more than the object for which it is being made. Much of the art of today is nothing more than materialistic or objective pieces for people to see and judge based not on the underlying meaning but rather the surface; whether or not it is pleasing to the eye. Art should be about interpretation of emotion or something that tells us of a story deeper than its own.
