Conservation

Kinda sounds like what my dad thinks... I just don't know why people think that they can survive without the planet....

The conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail us little to solve all others.

Tchaikovsky

I know I'm a sucker for technology, but this is just pure genius - they've gone and recreated Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture from 1000 different cellphones and over 2000 text messages... Awesome.

I need a bike (read: Oh! How I yearn for the Trek 1.5!)

Burn the Man

So excited to go next year...

U2

Always inspring... Perhaps not their best, but good nonetheless...

She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

There's a part of me in chaos that's quiet
And there's a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
Change of heart comes slow..

It's not a hill it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubtin?
We're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Divination that will listen to your boys and girls
Is the sweetest melody the one we haven't heard?
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear
But change of heart comes slow...

It's not a hill it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
You see for me I've been shoutin
But we're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Ha, ha, ha

It's not a hill it's a mountain
You see for me I've been shouting
Let's shout until the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy, if we don't go crazy tonight

I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Cr...

When in doubt...

Listen to Jerry!



I really think that this might be some of the better advice for comp climbing I've ever heard...

I've never figured out how to unlock being a good competition climber. Even when I feel I'm at my best, I can never seem to make the effort I think I should. Even when I win sometimes, I feel like my climbing could have been better.

Which leads me to believe that besides what Jerry says, that there must be some strong-headed form of ego that must accompany all of these things - not only does one have to believe; they have to believe in themselves.

The Dolphin

Oh, how I miss the Dolphin...

This fall, me and KO took a trip around the southwest. We met up with a bunch of people, including some of my best friends, Carlo Traversi and his girlfriend, Alex Puccio.



It was one of the best times of my life... And I can't wait to do it again this year! Bigger and better, of course ;-)
