Fly Love

The Real Life Story Of Jackie Robinson, Baseball Legend

Release date April 2013

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.

These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, and have an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

READY!!!!

Even though he had children with multiple women, Bob Marley seemed to have got these words right.

Practice Run

I've just returned to Australia from a 7 month stint overseas. 1 month in NY and 7 months living in Toronto. The plan was to live it up over there for 2 years, but the economy had other things in mind for me. Unfortunately the job market in Toronto is tough as anything right now, and 6 weeks temp work was the most I could find, which meant my savings diminished, so I had to make the decision to move back to Australia.

I can't lie, I'm slightly crushed, but I have no regrets, it was the biggest emotional learning curve for me and I'd like to call it a practice run. My hope and vision of living in the U.S. is still there, and rather than crawling into a ball and crying, I'm remaining positive that I'll make it there one day. Toronto was always there as a stepping stone.

7 months overseas and I struggled to find work, and I've been back here in Australia for 1 week and I start a job on Monday. I'm completely thankful, this work has come as a blessing. I'm not sure what the future has in store, I haven't had time to process things since I arrived back, but a masterplan will soon be in the works.

After spending the past 4 days visiting my close friends in Melbourne, I've nearly got the jet lag beat and am adjusting back to life in Adelaide. Ready for the next episode. Stay tuned...

Highlights from NY

I just spent a month in NY from the 19th Dec til the 18th Jan with my girl Vicki. I had the time of my life, as usual. We rented an apartment in Bed-Stuy for the month, our old hood where we usually stay. See some photos below of highlights from the trip.

Hitchcock

I was wandering the streets of Yorkville in Toronto yesterday and came across this huge Hitchcock piece. Love it!

Happy Dilla Month!!!

My favourite time of year, Aquarius Season and Dilla Month.

I might not be somebody's first choice, but I am a great choice.
I may not be rich, but I am valuable.
I don't pretend to be someone I'm not because I am good at being me.
I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past but I am proud of who I am today.
I may not be perfect but I don't need to be.
Take me as I am or or watch me as I walk away.
