Ties the Room Together: December 2004

Big White

We spent Christmas at Big White. This is the view from the spot where I asked Carrie to marry me. Big White in all its glory!

My Friends

What a time this is to be living in (in which to be living?). I gotta say, I have been feeling pretty down in the dumps lately. Not for any particular reason, I just have an overall feeling like the lego blocks of my life aren't really fitting together. That was until a couple of days ago: before my friends inspired me.

It's the kind of thing that you would like to put your finger on. I would like to say they have done this or that or the other thing and it made me feel better, but I can't. I guess like all great teachers they have led by example. These guys are showing me what it is like to be leading a life of purpose and passion, and I couldn't be happier for them.

When I see these guys, I believe. I look into their eyes and can see that they are following their passion, and it makes me feel damn good and proud and lucky to know these guys and even have the opportunity to be inspired by them.

I am talking about Erik Hansen and Robbie Sinclair here, and if you haven't checked these guys out yet, you should.

Erik Hansen is spreading kindness and has been for a few years now (officially). He has just published a book with 3 of his good friends called Cool To Be Kind. Check out their website. And Robbie Sinclair is making some music and feeling the flow in Montreal. Check out some of his music here.

Thanks guys!

Holiday Time

The "holidays" as they are called are working up to a fever pitch. I am currently ironing out some problems with my photo upload software and will have some fresh pictures up soon. Keep on rocking in the free world.
