WELLINGTON - March 30, 2006
The Capitol city of New Zealand. I arrived here on the 12th of February and having been calling it home ever since. It's a legitimate city, but it's one of the most beautiful cities I can imagine. It actually is THE cleanest city in the entire world. When they do pollution ratings for other cities they calibrate them to Wellington. How sweet is that? I think the biggest reason for this is that it is incredibly windy. It never stops blowing. I've had days where I could literally lean downhill and not fall over because the wind was blowing so hard. So any pollution just gets whisked away. I feel as though this is balanced nicely by the lack over ozone over New Zealand. Thanks America.

Here in New Zealand I've been playing around and getting some really positive attention for this 5th disc. You probably won't be able to make it to any of my shows for a couple months…unless you're on the other side of the world. But you can still pick up a CD at the cdbaby link on my site : ) I hope you enjoy it if you do.

Hello from New Zealand - March 2, 2006
Hello from New Zealand.
I went skydiving. And scubadiving. And diving off of cliffs. And I started classes. They're a lot like classes at home...only my teacher speak with a kiwi accent.
Advice for people at home: TRAVEL!!! seriously, just do it. Furthermore, go to a farmer's market near you and buy a whole bunch of vegetables...anything you can think of and then cut them up, make sure you have spinach and onions, key ingredients, and then cut everything up you can think and put them in a bowl with a about 1/4 cup of water, cover and thn put in the microwave for about 10-12 minutes. Add pepper, pinch of salt.......OMG so good, everything is so good that way.
Except bananas, avoid bananas.
Life is good. - February 13, 2006
In other news, I'm in New Zealand. I just spent a week in Fiji. And already the world is a totally different place to me. I attended a 10 day meditation course before I left for this adventure and between this and my travels so far I will never be able to look at life the same way again.

I miss friends and family. That is the hardest part, but I will see all again sooner than I feel.
On to experience.
