On a(nother) personal and New York related note - I finally lived my dream and went to Montauk. I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ve been doing the last three years.. it is gorgeous out there. View high resolution

On a(nother) personal and New York related note - I finally lived my dream and went to Montauk. I don’t know what I’ve been doing the last three years.. it is gorgeous out there.

Watching the aforementioned biology videos brought back faint memories of my mom making me watch art history lectures as a child. They were narrated by Sister Wendy. She arrives on scene at 0:38 and is pictured below. Amazing.

 

I think my parents (doctor and medical technician) are dismayed that I daydreamed my way though high school biology and, consequently, know little about physiology. My mother recently sent me &#8220;a gift&#8221; - a box set of lectures entitled Understanding the Human Body: An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology. It&#8217;s a series of 34 college classroom lectures, all about 45 minutes long. I sat down, beer in hand, and watched my first lecture last night. Here&#8217;s what I learned! View high resolution

Without a normal desk job, I&#8217;ve lately been finding it difficult to stay on track with the various projects I&#8217;m trying to involve myself with. I started using jakelodwick&#8217;s WeHaveStandards to practice some self-discipline. So far I really like it.  View high resolution

Without a normal desk job, I’ve lately been finding it difficult to stay on track with the various projects I’m trying to involve myself with. I started using jakelodwick’s WeHaveStandards to practice some self-discipline. So far I really like it. 

Exactly a year ago, I descended upon Machu Picchu. It will forever be among the most amazing experiences of my life.

Spirits and Spirit

I hosted a “Spirits and Spirit” party a couple weeks ago where some friends and I convened to drink spiritual/religiously themed spirits, watch the film Baraka, and see where the conversation would take us.

It may sound a bit cheesy, but it really was a great night. We had Chimay, He-Brew beer, “Seven Deadly Zins” Zinfandel, and Chateauneuf du Pape, a papal wine.

We watched Baraka, a film by Ron Fricke that is about everything and everyone. It’s just footage, shot in 70mm, of nature, rituals, places of worship, and people from over 152 locations throughout the world. We stopped the film throughout to comment and discuss - themes, editing, location, everything. If you haven’t seen the film, I recommend it. It is kind of mind blowing. This part especially.
