First Day

Today I found out about Spiral Island. I was using StumbleUpon, an awesome internet "channel-surfing" plug-in for Firefox, and I came across the Ripley's Believe It or Not episode with Spiral Island. I spend way too much of my time looking for places to escape to, and a self-sustaining island on the ocean is pretty much the best idea I have ever heard of. I am engaged, so I ran this by my fiance. She seems open to it. I really want to go this summer ('08) and help finish the island. ...and be… Continue

The I Am America Pilgrimage Statement

“The I AM America Medicine Walk” Since America is the super power of the world - we have the power, and, the choice to become the leading nation in the world for peace. - That our nation sleep walks in a materialistic coma in pursuit of the “American dream is not only the cause for the suffering of people all over the world, but also the direct cause of the contamination of our soil, our Water and our Air. Since I AM fully aware that through War, consumption and consumerism WE ARE the silent ki… Continue
