Skating Santa Monica

I’ve been skating since I was about 10. I remember people riding banana boards on ramps in Sedona, Arizona behind the trailer I lived in. I got a board and I was hooked. It took me many hours of practice to learn just the basics but I’m so happy I have skateboarding in my life. I’m not even close to professional and there are 10 years olds that can kick my ass, but I love it. Here’s a video of what I was doing the last couple months in Santa Monica.
The soundtrack is, “The Stuff” by my band, “The Vaynes”

Canopy Montanita

Wandering in the mountains of Montanita, Ecuador I came across Haciento and the Canopy Montanita zip lines adventure crew. Turns out I was just in time to shoot a video. I jumped into the pickup truck we picked up an excited group of people in town and jostled them back to the zip lines. It’s quiet something flying through the clouds like a bird looking all around at the beautiful beaches, trees, mountains, and sky. I’m super glad I decided to just get lost and see what I found. Thanks for the great time guys. See you soon.

April Joga’s Horses

There is a mystical connection I share with horses. When they allow me onto their backs I am feel time slows down. I am free and powerful and connected to an energy larger than myself. Watching them interact with each other and play as a family is such a wonderful loving energy to be around. I met April Joga a few years ago when I was playing a cowboy in an indie film and we have stayed friends ever since. We have much to learn from our highly intuitive, curious, and playful friends, the horse and I look forward to the journey.

A beautiful song written and performed by Max Lyncee and Leif Totusek.

Leif and Nate have been friends for a long time and I felt very welcome at Max’s house with all these cool musicians just rocking out with the good vibe. We also had a great talk on film about happiness. Thanks for such a cool hang guys!

Shawnee Kilgore “One Thousand Miles to Coming Home”

Every time I hear Shawnee sing I’m reminded how lucky I am to be around such a talented and beautiful person who has the ability to life spirits and create worlds of words with harmonies hovering and letters lulling your mind to a calmer, brighter, better world. Her progression in music always seems to astound me and although I was only able to stop for a night in Austin showed me a lively time. Shawnee, her boyfriend William and I walked around town exchanging traveling stories and looking at the stars. We then played some music at an open mics at Hypnotics and went to a friends house for more late night musical escapades. It seemed every new person that walked up to the porch was like, “Oh neat a guitar, can I play a song?” and we were like, “Sure, get in the circle.” Austin is an oasis of creativity, music, and hospitality in the middle of a giant, big, dry, desert.
