It always impresses me how someone can take an idea and make it real, make it breathe side by side with other prior ones. Creating and then materializing a thought, from an outsiders perspective (me) seems like the biggest deal. Is it common to be more impressed by someone elses accomplishment then by our own?

 

I’m amazed often at how friends/loved ones take charge, make it happen and have the whole process seem painless or worry free. Its never the case though, there is some struggle when birthing dreams. There is sacrifice on one or several levels and its hard to notice those sacrifices especially when no one is discussing or bringing it to light.

Let’s notice all the small accomplishments like they were the biggest. Try not to dismiss the steps it took to get to that point. Keep the pace steady but every so often don’t be afraid to pick up or drop it.

I have to take my hat off to my friend and barber, Jon “junior” Roth (he prefers when I rock my hair out anyways) for taking his life, his passion into his own hands. You’re an awesome friend and a great barber. Also to Dani Kind and Tommie-Amber Pirie for taking their acting career to new heights. Also Eric Martel, someone I knew from way back in the music scene who just partnered up with some others to open up a “CROSSFIT” facility in my hometown Montreal. Check it out if you can or want to test your fitness capacity. (I’ve got many props to give so to the others, hang tight.)

I love it when people I know push themselves and others to do great things. I also love Montreal and Poutine.

If you’re in San Antonio Texas and need to do laundry, eat an amazing organic meal, wash your car, have a beer and participate in local gatherings check out Lisa, the owner and her joint called “The Cove“. I ate the chicken poblano soup and the item they’re best know for- the fish taco. Delicious and the best part is that all my clothes that were once dirty are now clean. Great place and so convenient for anyone traveling. Her passion brought this place to life, the neighborhood and those that ventured in that day we were there.

Everybody, let’s keep moving forward…

ps. Listen and watch my friend Neil’s (aka SyWyld) production on this older track. He’s super talented, works with his brother James and sister Zoe at Offshoot. I love them all.
