“Loca People” by Sak Noel will forever remind me of Australia and shopping in Byron Bay with Heather and Suzanne. This song ended up being the song we constantly listened to when we needed a pick me up.

This picture is how I feel about life in general right now.
FUCK EVERYTHING AND BECOME A PIRATE.
That was on the back of a menu at a fabulous bar/restaurant in Bondi in Australia and I for the life of me cannot remember the name of the bar/restaurant but I also took the other photo below there too because 1) the served Sailor Jerry Rum 2) who doesn’t like tequila when they’re getting their festive on and 3) it says Merry Fuckin Christmas.
The only way that message would have been topped was if it had said: Merry Fuckin Christmas Y’all. Continue reading Fuck Everything & Become a Pirate
If eternity is measured by memories treasured in the hearts of loved cities and friends…Then Shel surely knows that he lives as he goes to the The Place Where The Sidewalk Ends. – Sullins Stuart This piece of concrete etched with those words lays outside of one of my favorite churches: St Paul’s Episcopal Church. I’ve never been in the church. I just stand outside … Continue reading I Know Where the Sidewalk Begins
I have a love for Australia. I don’t know where it came from or exactly why it’s that beautiful country, but I want to expatriate myself there (like yesterday). This is one of my favorite Christmas memories. Byron Bay, 2011 with Heather and Suzanne. I’ve been reminiscing with both gals today on our trip two years ago and it made me happy to share these … Continue reading Christmas Memory: Byron Bay 2011
I rang 2012 in Bondi (Australia). I rang 2013 in Detroit, MI. One was sunshine with sandy beaches. One was gray skies and melting snow. Both were places I never I imagined I’d be, but forever grateful for the paths that put me in both locations. I can say I have two regrets in 2012 1) Saying no to a guy I should have said … Continue reading Reflections of 2012
This is a perfect home to me. I like simple living. When I moved from 418 to 470, I got ride of 70% of everything I owned. Books, furniture, clothing, knick knacks, etc. The other 30%, if I could toss it all, I would have started from scratch. I want the above. Right on or near a beach in Australia. Any beach will do. And … Continue reading Airstream Daydream
I am truly moved by all the beauty that is in this video. It shows the amazing waters, land, nature, and culture of Australia. The song is absolutely beautiful as well. I am really excited to have this album on my iPod and cannot wait for it to be released. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E1bNmyPWww] Continue reading VIDEO: Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd
This is just a shout out to all the wonderful people I met on this journey. ECU on flight to Australia: Never really found out his name and only called him ECU from his shirt but he was Australian and talked to us about the flight, things to do, things not to do, and how to enjoy our time. Jay @ 34 Degrees in Bondi: … Continue reading Strangers to Friends in Australia
This is the view I ended 2011 with and this is the view I started 2012 with. I would not have changed a thing in 2011. If I did, I would not have ended up in Australia meeting who I did and hanging out with who I did. Life puts you in the path with the people you’re suppose to meet and on the path … Continue reading 2012

Byron’s beaches are beautiful and our short amount of time there made us … Continue reading Coffs to Byron to Brisbane
