Familiar strangers

I've had this idea for a website/blog for a while... a website about strangers i meet on my travels.. i'm finally going to put it together with my friend Tom. he's got a camera and nows all bout setting up websites. I'm not going to give it all away now but i'm going to ask strangers we meet around Montreal certain question, (again i wont tell you what they are now) but i will answer all the questions i have in this Blog..right now! trippy eh ..ya i know



-I'd have to say: Big mama Thorton - hound dog, Got my mojo working - muddy waters and Sonny Boy Williamson II, and The Black keys- Same old thing

- hippy/weirdo sexual.... like metro sexual but weirder and more peace and bandana's

-so right now i'd call this just lazy Sunday hipster on a boat

-I love strangers.. i think that there is something interesting and beautiful in every single person.. you just have to find it and when you do it will think and possibly smile. i wish strangers in the city would be more like the strangers at Burning man.. more open and loving.. but i guess there really aren't any strangers at burning man...

-my home use to be called the Chicken coop.. now its gotta get a new name...

-this one time at burning man i went to this nighttime rave on the outskirts of black rock city. this place called the Opulent Temple.. infected mushroom was opening for Arman van buren.. i went with these 2 hippy jewish girls from Long island and this L.A producer who grew up in the south Pacific..it was the first time i took Ecstasy.. so this rave in the desert was this big open circle with these 3 platforms at the back, facing the stage.. about 6 feet high .. the four of us were in the back on the ground in front of the middle stage.. there were lazers on top of the dj booth, the dj booth was this big metal head .. the eyes were flame throwers and the mouth was the dj booth..the flame throwers would periodically shoot out.. i started dancing and i felt this weird feeling i had never felt before.. i didn't really like and i had to sit down.. so i sat down under one of the platforms.. kinda cool, feeling kinda blue.. (drugs eh) and the older producer guy(no need for names) came and sat next to me, he asked me what was wrong. after i explained that i was feeling shitty he gave me his down jacket and put his arm around me and told me this: "you see all this crazy art around us? isn't it unbelievable i mean right here in the middle of the fucking desert!, and listen to this music the best dj in the world are playing for us in that metal head with the flamethrower eyes!, and look at all these people" he gestured outward and i saw all these hilarious fun people, some naked, some all dressed up in the most unbelievable costumes and some of them looked down at me and smiled and hollered and laughed, "you see all this" he said " ya i do" i replied .. then he told me the best advice ever " it's all here for YOU"

- positivity in all it's forms is a good thing everyone should practice

-again at burning man... i needed a ride into reno on the last day.. and the people who were suppose to drive me back were only going half way then going the other half way the next day.i really wanted to get to reno because there was thi girl i met in my camp that i really wanted to see.. so i got dropped off in this small town called Nixon and i hitch hiked with this crazy pink haired, wolverine looking wild and kind man who drove me in his Winnebago that kept dying every 2 miles or so.. he kept trying to fix it and it would work for another 2 miles.. after hours of this it was nighttime and i was freaking out.. he had the cover for the engine off and the engine was roaring right between the both of us while i was crouched over with two plastic bottles of gasoline (all that was left) and he was yelling something about how his he has done wilder shit then this in the amazon.. anyway the gas in the plastic bottle was getting drank up mighty fast and we almost didn't make it to the next town.. as soon as we did i busted out of the winnebago ( i now feel terrible for not thanking the man) and went to the first person i found and asked him if he could drive me to reno.. to my delight he was a frenchman from paris and he agreed and drove me back ..i eventually made it to reno 5 hours after i was suppose to and met the young lady

-i guess it would be this 40 kilometer hike i did in the himilayas in one day .. the guide kept pushing us till we were dead tired.. it took us 10 hours with a good hour long lunch break so 9 hours.

-Why do you paint your nails

-wildest would be the pink haired dude from burning man, and the coolest would have to be this Australian guy, we look very similar.. he is currently traveling the world .. met him in Montreal outside this club.

- the Tibetan book of the dead

-it was a beautiful day today i'm going rock climbing on Wednesday

thats all for now .. hopefully Tom and I will get our shit together and put together this awesome Website
