It Spoke for the Weeds

One day,

As I was right about to pull a weed from the garden

As shocked as I was, I couldn’t help but answer

“I’m pulling you out.

What does it look like I’m doing?”

The weed replied

“Why, Dave?”

East Los Angeles

“If there is one thing

I ever learned from my father

It is this

In this life

If you ever accomplish anything

Worth bragging about

End as many sentences as you can

With the words East Los Angeles

It just seems that much more impressive

And makes you seem that much more authentic

You see I grew up in East Los Angeles”

The Geese are flying to Moscow

The Geese are flying to Moscow

Hey, yeah, yeah its me, its me

Yeah of course well of course

We were together for three years

Of course I remembered

Her birthday just calling her to wish her well

But now she’s asking questions

The kind that can only

Be asked from a distance

The Development Cycle

[ click to watch ]

A kaleidoscopic stop-motion film shot over the course of several weeks while developing an application at work. Actors include myself (with old school hippie-hair!) and various coworkers, project managers, and objects strewn around my desk. I nearly lost my mind working on the project, and now you can too.

The VoxInforma Podcast: The Tararizt

The Tararizt

The Tararizt is a lifelong musician and activist (or what she would call “artivist”) who seeks to make the world better through her music. Rather than writing overtly political lyrics and expressing frustration over problems, she aims simply to write songs that make her listeners smile and feel more connected to each other as they move their feet to her groovy beats.  A message of oneness is the theme that ties her music together.  She can be seen playing shows around Hollywood, both independently and on sax with numerous funk/afrobeat/soul groups.
