Bienvenido a Miami!
Some may have noticed some slight (temporary) change in blog design and lull in my blog updates… Reason being:
I’m currently in Miami taking care of some bih’ness
And secondly, right before I took flight, I had started migrating my blog to self-host. With the help of my friend Jeff, this will slowly [...]

Music & Politics in China
I’ve been doing a fair share of reading up on music and lifestyle trends in Asia…with particular focus of course, in Shanghai. Every item I have read has alluded to this burgeoning international city that is soon to leave London, Paris and (maybe) New York in the dust. OK, OK for now… we’ll just stick [...]

American Baby!
As I mentally ready myself to live abroad in a country where daily liberties that I/we as Americans take for granted are stripped away/censored, ie. accessing blogs for goodness sake – I just gotta say… I am happy and feel downright privileged to be an American Baby!
Some may have noticed my removal of a particular [...]

Keeping On Track
Just some words I came across to remind me… to stay on course… (right L. Rod?!)
You have spent two years dealing with the rigors of Saturn opposed to your Sun, so in effect, you have done all the necessary spadework to now launch your new life. That launch is due any minute.

Politics + Marketing = The Brand Called Obama
Came across an interesting article from Fast Company Magazine on “The Brand Called Obama.”
Excerpt:

Ode to Dave
You insisted.
I resisted.
It took some time,
some 27, 34, 36, 40 tries.
You asked me to stay for a while,
But rhyme or reason I had none;
for heavy as stone was I,
with a preconceived idea of you.
Was not until we waved hello again the 41st,
that you swept me up, up and away
onward onto a sweet up and down [...]

I Am Geeked!
I received the following (exact) words in a recent email exchange with a current teacher at my soon-to-be-school, Shanghai Pinghe:
“I feel tremendously lucky to have ended up here. The teachers are great and everyone has been appreciative and supportive of what I have to offer. (I’m currently directing kids in a shortened version of ‘Twelfth [...]

Indie Travelers’ Top 10 for 2008
While flipping through the news last night, it was reported that London was the #1 most traveled-to European city in 2007…and also being the dirtiest. Paris was #2, but received #1 billing for the unfriendliest. Amsterdam, Dublin and London share top nods as being the most friendliest. Having personally traveled to Amsterdam last year, [...]

Dear Record/Music Business…
I’ve come across several articles this week, that have zero’ed in on the downward spiral of the record industry. Le Sigh. All I can say (and many of ya’ll know this) is that, I’m happy and thrilled that I was able to be a part of it during its last legs of “fun lovin’ fun” [...]
