WEBSITE MOVE!

I'm migrating my site to tumblr, because it's just better, and Mynt said so.

PLEASE visit! : verb1der.tumblr.com

Back to my roots..

"Even if I'm knocked down I don't stay down."

Thank you Nike!

That street cycling gear is in full effect! Now if only they'd get over the Livestrong colorway. =P

Mynt Condition

This is my brother from another mother. He has a new blog check it out! =)

Focused.

Must stay focused, on me. -_-

Food for thought

I'm out of town for the weekend...

but you're always on my mind! Current theme song.
_____________________________________________________________

Now, how can it be 
That a love carved out of caring 
Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard 
From the games played once too often 
But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection 
Born of the years 
Is it so wrong to be human after all? 

Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion 
Those diamond dreams, they can't disguise the truth 

That there is something about you, baby, so right 
I wouldn't be without you, baby, tonight 

If ever our love was concealed 
No-one can say that we didn't feel 
A million things and a perfect dream of life 
Gone, fragile but free 
We remain tender together 
If not so in love 
And it's not so wrong; we're only human after all 

These changing years, they add to your confusion 
Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth 

You know, there's something about you, baby, so right 
I wouldn't be without you, baby, tonight 
Because there's something about you, baby, so right 
I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight 

Something about you, the way you are, so right 
I wouldn't be without you here tonight 
There's something about you, the way you are so right 
I couldn't live without you here tonight 

Sacramento 2nd Saturdays

Not sure who snapped this picture but I found this on Dyno's blog (because he's so damn cool). I like the picture, good, talented, people! (That's me on the far right plaid shirt, carrying a bunch of free things! =)

Drum circles

I've been in SF a lot lately. And last Sunday we explored an area and ran into a few drum circles. I'm working on a video edit that shows the energy of what these everyday hippies turn to, for acceptance. I have an appreciation for it.

Going away

I honestly don't know who reads this damn blog other than the ones who are currently following it, and I THANK YOU for that! I don't facebook often other than when I have stuff to share, and my friends and family have my email address and phone number, so I feel that this blog is enough for me. And those who really are interested in how I am doing would know exactly where to go to find me.

A love for the sun

Even the trees grow their flowers towards it.

I appreciate the brighter days here in the Bay Area. It's about time the weather showed some consistency. It's a blessing that I consider very timely at this point in time, I could really use it. Every morning I wake I count my blessings, and this is one of them.

Running on 0 hrs of sleep.

I feel like this guy. =/

Mr. Mario & the new IRO

ATTENTION : PLAY THIS WHILE VIEWING THIS BLOG!

And I've got studios to voice in
And I've got news for rejoicing
Now a new sun is rising
I count my blessings

That I'm safe when I'm resting
Furniture in my nesting
Not by force
I'm suggesting
You count your blessings

I've got love and assurance
I've got new heath insurance
I've got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings

And give thanks to the master
That through all the disaster
We're still here
Together after
Better count your blessings

Summer madness

Sun painting.

It was that kind of day. For once it felt like it was summer. Get soaked in the the sun, find refuge in the shade. Feels good. =)

Bloom - Creative Hair Design & Art Gallery, Napa CA

My good friends at Individual Collective do it again with good folks at Bloom hair salon / art gallery, Napa Ca. It's nice to see business owners create unique ways to introduce and support the arts, in a city that needs a lot more of it. And just about all of the locals I spoke with are in agreement. More pics to come.

The power of Jay Dee.

A hip hop producer so great...that orchestras pay tribute to him.

My man Shwin introduced me to this video of this orchestra named Suite for Ma Dukes. From a musical standpoint, Jay Dee was a huge inspiration to me. And this orchestra brought his music to life in a most powerful way. Just play it.

Slowly reconsidering...

Nike78. I like!

This is just a video of random things I seen over the entire weekend, in no chronological order or pre-planning, basically freestyle shooting. I'm still learning so much. I hope you like it!

An Ube Tree

This was taken at some plaza in LA. Thought it was pretty poetic!

Imagine that.

The evolution of the velodrome. Nuff said.

More info here.

Thank you LA.

For opening the mind, surprising the taste buds, and melting the heart.


Video collage in the works! So come back soon.
