A.B. TV-Episode 1

in ,

This is the first of a video blog series I have been planning for months with my friend Cody. The topics and adventures will vary week to week.

In short I want a way to share my mind with people and learn more about the world and maybe I'll say something that will spark a thought in someone else's brain. 

The idea is to not only be thought provoking and share my head thoughts but to also be visual stimulating because I know my attention span is terrible so I don't think it's fair to expect to have to just sit and watch me talk.

Therefore we wanted to make something that was almost like watching a documentary or a movie. So with the help of Cody Pulliam we came up with what I think is a very entertaining way of representing what is me and also entertaining to you as a viewer.

I hope you like what you watch. If so please subscribe to the channel, share it with a friend, and watch it again.

What?

A video blog. From things I consider serious issues that I want to bring to a broader scale than my circle of friends to some random misadventures like drunkenly telling stories with action figures. Basically anything I want. It's my video blog to accompany my written blog. 

Why?

Because why not? Because I want to talk about things that are important to me, share my random thoughts, share my learnings and possibly inspire others, because I like having an audience, but mostly to make Smoggie Catt the most popular cat on the interwebs. 

When:

Every Thursday night at 7pm West Coast Time/10pm East Coast Time starting May 2nd. ​

​

Arrived in Flagstaff, AZ...

in ,

Many, many hours later Adam and I reached Flagstaff. Arizona. ​

New Mexico was a bit flat and boring for a while but as we neared Arizona there were plenty of giant rocks and hills. Adam and I stopped and climbed some. I'll post those pictures in another update.​

Roswell as a city was boring, but watching the people was interesting. A lot like the Southeast USA then but a lot more Hispanic people. Quite beautiful seeing so many bilingual peoples. It's almost like being in another country. 

​But also a futuristic glimpse of what our country will be in the future; as far as language goes. I hope our country isn't like the Southeast in the future.

In Other News: I miss Smoggie Catt.

Much more awesome pictures on the way.​ Can't wait to share with you guys!

San Antonio, Texas to Roswell, New Mexico

in ,

After leaving Houston Adam and I left for San Antonio. The town was much more beautiful than I remember. The river walk going through the town awesome. Much greener than I remember and some amazing architecture. ​

From there we left and went to Hondo and saw my grandparents. FIrst time in a few years. It was good to catch up. Then we switched off driving throughout the night and arrived in Roswell at about 6am. Driving throughout the night felt really amazing. Wide open road. I never noticed Texas had a hilly side.

Which brings me to ​first post. We found a place outside Roswell called Bottomless Lake State Park. Very rugged landscape, but a lot of the lakes have shrank in size, but you can walk amongst the ground. It's the closest thing I can imagine to what it would probably look like on Mars. Very martian looking.

Before I Recap...

in ,

Let me start by saying I am currently in Roswell, New Mexico. There are no sites of aliens or internet or much of anything for that matter. It's flat and brown. Not really impressed. I have pictures to share but Verizon doesn't have signal anywhere out here so alas no pictures. 

Looking Down on Nevada

in ,

Looking down on the deserts of Nevada it looks fragile, desolate, and oddly majestic. I can't wait to explore vast foreign world on foot with Adam in a couple days.

I can't foresee myself ever living in such a world. I need my trees and forest for clarity, but there's a lot of magic and untapped adventure to be had here.

So many questions pass through my mind:

How many past peoples have crossed these colossal mountains of dust and gravel?

What did they know?

What did they think as they traversed this alien terrain?

What did they do?

Did they think what I do?

Did this the land home dinosaurs?

What kind of great treasures have been lost to the great sands?

Hello Dallas, Texas!

in ,

Woke up at 4:40am. Been riding a plane since 6:30am.  Slept until about 10:30am at which time i exited the plane briefly to  buy a coffee and muffin.

After that I started listening to music (mostly Bon Iver and David Bowie) and reading "The Story of Stuff".

I bought the book in January, but forsook it to read other books for a while.

It's a great book. Heavy yet spoken in common people language; which I find essential when trying to convince people to change their habits and take care of our planet. Anyway, that's another subject for another time.

There's a Full Moon Thursday Night!

in

I knew it!

People act all kinds of wacko the days counting up to this full moon. I use to think it was all just speculation.

But we're just a bunch of wild animals, mostly full of water. If the moon effects the tides it can effect us.

So be patient with those people who you think are acting a fool; they are probably just as frustrated as you are.
