Who are you? Who am I? I have had to confront this with myself, specifically of late. I have had to think whether I define myself or others define me. Do I define my value, or do you? Well, after 35 years and counting, I think I can answer this question. I do. I have a desire to be desired, loved, liked, admired, valued, depended on, etc as do most people. But... I cannot let others define me. I cannot let others value of me, be my value. I have always preached that if people... Read Full Story

Greetings my people, lol... I have not shot any photos in a few weeks...but I will get back to it soon, I think... I have so many photo projects that are still in process to finish...ie images taken but not fully processed! yikes! Here is something new here...I am a huge political junkie, though I haven't really blogged about it yet. I am going to start now...not to go and tell you who to vote for, but just to share some amusement... I will stipulate I am a flaming liberal, or at least... Read Full Story

Do they? Really? I would counter... Recently, a friend has made me think. I know, watch out...a random ramble is sure to be forthcoming...lol;) ok, seriously though...what is normal? Do any of us really want to be, normal? Why? Anyway, what inspired me to this, is a friends birthday post...about their life, what they have done, been through, etc. Hasn't been an easy life. But is life supposed to be easy? Kind of like, should we want to be normal? I would say, no. The most... Read Full Story

The truth is they are a brand new Guns...or at least the Trees say so... It is not your 80's Guns...it isn't even your 90's Guns...It's not Guns and Roses...and it's NOT Phil Lewis' Guns...(thank god, no offense)... The truth, while perhaps in the Trees...is that this iteration of the LA Guns, is a band, of founding member Tracii Guns, with a fresh lead singer, Marty Casey. The most striking thing about this band, is the chemistry that Tracii and Marty have. Marty, is a talented front... Read Full Story

In the last stand of their residency at The Mint I saw the band play July 29th... I have seen Lukas play 2x previously acoustic...this was my first time seeing him accompanied by the new band... I was convinced I liked him calm, thoughtful, and focused on his music, and voice. I was never a fan of the drunken frankenstein bit, that frankly was a turn off for me from his Rockstar: Supernova performances on the TV. But, alas, that may have been just distant memory, because he was both... Read Full Story

Seriously...I have sweat soaked through my clothes coming out of this show...and I am not sure any of it's mine! ick!!!! lmao... With time passing, perhaps, I will just remember it as an orgy w/the Foo's...lol, if only! Up front I was...I can only dream the dream...but the Foo Fighters were fabulous.........and... Dave Grohl was so hot...I don' t know how to describe it..it's not his fashion sense...perhaps it is the plain guy speak...when he says he is going to play some more good shit... Read Full Story

They sure did...it was a bright, shiny and a freaking HOT Seattle Sunday...and it was the big Pride Parade day...the featured parade in the few weeks of gay pride celebrations hereabouts... I am not gay(not that there is anything wrong with it...tm J. Seinfeld, lol), and have never made any effort to check out the festivities...I mean I am totally ok with whatever folks do, have gay friends, etc etc...I have just never bothered to do more than notice that traffic is bad during these times...
