F*ck Yeah!

My buddy Jason decided to treat himself his house to a bit of goodness this past New Years. He had TEKSTartist whip up a little goodness right there on the side of his house. It's pretty sweet! Anyone who follows this blog knows that I love time lapse videos so when the following one involves one of my best buds on earth, it's even more dope. Check it out! Oh and please click here to learn more about TEKSTartist - he sounds incredibly creative and inspired. F*ck Yeah!

The boy has another hit on his hands...

Amazing, my friend, amazing.

Wave of emotion...

Jason - You'll love this! xo.

My buddy is on a journey...

and I love watching it unfold.

Jason does Gershwin.

 

Simply amazing.

A lovely little new blog that I stumbled across, LyricsQuote.com, featured some lyrics (damn good ones, I must say!) that my buddy wrote. They take lyrics from kick ass songs and feature them on caricature type lil' works of art. I'm liking it! See more HERE. There are only a few pages so far but they are off to a very good start. 

The power of 23.

Jason gives a damn...

I'm so proud and happy to call Jason a friend. Lending his voice in such an amazing way speaks volumes to the type of person Jason has become. Watch Jason's plea for the GIVE A DAMN campaign. Jason, along side many others, speak out for Marriage Equality. See more videos HERE.

Good Vibes Sent.

Congrats, buddy. 

A buddy's travels...

In January, my friend Jason traveled to Peru with his longtime friend and creative comrade Jon Marro. Jason wrote about it on his blog, Freshness Factor Five Thousand, and as usual he is thought provoking, honest and heartfelt. 
Jason prefaced the video with the following: "In January of 2009, I traveled to Peru with Artist/Activist Jon Marro, founder of BlendApparel.com. Part of our journey included a 4 day walk to Macchu Picchu. With us was, Adrean, our fearless Indiana Jones'esque Spiritual Guide who performed ceremonies for Protection and Peace to heighten our awareness of the energy that connects us all. This video is my playful version of James Cameron's Avatar. Listen closely to what Adrean tells us about being brothers living on the body of our mother earth who IS ALIVE. Pause the film on the Polaroid as it reveals quite possibly, the spirits known as "the Apus," the ancestors who abide by our prayers. The picture shows a golden light beaming from our hearts and hovering over our heads. To me, it is the obvious - Love is All Around and We Are All Connected." 
Watch the video and take a little trip. Enjoy. Thanks Jason for letting me share your journey with my readers. xo.

Brothers.

Surfing on New Years with my best friends. Full on Joy!

How deep is your love? Mraz knows.

Here is Mr. Mraz singing the Bee Gees classic How Deep is Your Love?. The clip was from last week's Facebook chat he did for his fans. It's a fantastic, raw, gritty ditty that you are sure to love. Check it. 

Mr. Mraz gives us some Beatles goodness...

Simply Perfect.

Jason's Inspiration.

Another fabulous and funny video from Mr. Mraz....

Jason gives us some Yoga to go?

Watch.

La la la la life is wonderful...

Dear Jason...

A moving groove...

My buddy Jason posted a video that I just adored. It shows a lil' guy simply dancing on a hill at a summer music festival. His groove was so inspiring that soon his one man show was a huge dance scene. Jason thoughtfully wrote on his blog in regards to the video and I think he nailed it - "Drop a pebble in a lake and eventually the ripples go beyond what you’re capable of seeing. If you can touch, move, or inspire just one person in your lifetime, it will have a powerful impact on the world. Live knowing that your extraordinary actions will still be resonating across that lake for 7 generations and then some." Well said, buddy. I love this video so much. It just makes me smile. Watch now.

Mr. Mraz rocks the 'stache.

Jason released the following photo via Twitter. Was it an homage to this guy? or perhaps him? Either way I'm loving it! Work!
