My mother sits on my mantal as a box of ash.
I think I’d like to have all of her compressed into diamonds.
I would drop the diamonds in places I found interesting.
Someone would pick them up, love them, show them off, and pass them on for generations.
No one would ever leave a precious gem just sitting around.
This way my mother would go on forever, she’d be loved, even after all the people who knew her had pasted long ago.

Happy Mothers day mom.

In the last few years I’ve had a major shift in my attitude towards personal possessions (Making the Best of Stuff and Things) will give you a small look in to how I roll in my closet. I’ve continued on my less stuff adventure implementing this “lite” lifestyle into my home life.


A to B
I sold my SUV.
I use zip car, taxis, subway, Bart, Muni, the Tube, trains and I do this thing called walking quite a bit.


Keep it Tight and Lite to Reap the Benefits
I own a 70lb beanbag, not a couch. Why? I can roll it away, push it in a closet, and it’s perfect for guest or friends to sleep, relax as a group (perfect for 3 ) or to do computer work on.

I own one fancy rocking office chair on wheels (the wheels make you feel like a rock star when rolling and sliding around the room) the other chairs fold up and are put away out of sight. “Let me get you a chair” is actually a great way to welcome someone into my home or office.

My glass top desk is big, tall, heavy, and on sliders. It says yes I am serious about my work but I don’t have to stay where I am if you want to do summersaults on to the bean bag or have a 4 person meeting just slide me to another part of the house.

I have a huge whiteboard on wheels. I was torn between the board and IdeaPaint. I bought the board so I could wheel my ideas away when I’m not working. If my ideas look at me all the time I’ll never have any fun, true story.

I have a BIG fancy bed, as all porn stars and sexy single ladies should, and it’s almost as easy to move up against the wall like a Murphy Bed. I made sure when I bought it that all me and my mighty vegan 5ft 98lb could do so. Why on earth would anyone want to move his or her bed? Maybe you want to do a photo shoot in your bedroom, have a hacker session on a fold out table, or a build a fort out of boxes and sheet ;p. Whatever you want to do, I want that choice.


We had to move my bed so my ass and the photographer could both fit in my room.



The Kitchen

Do more with less and less expense:

The break resistant box dish set 16pc: Big plates, Small plate, bowls, coffee cups (when I lived in SF I used recycled glass mason jars for coffee and Togo cups, no big deal to give friends a cup of Joe Togo)
16pc flatware set
4 wine glasses
1 sharp knife – I’m vegan; I cut veggies, not hearts.
3 vegan friendly cast iron pots/pans with 1 lid. Cast iron is versatile, perfect for stovetop and the oven
1 baking sheet
1 wooden soup ladle and spatula
1 mixing bowl
1 big glass-measuring cup
1 measuring shot glass that will on occasion actually be used as a shot glass
4pc set of glass bake/storage-wear, again multipurpose.
1 ninja . I <3 my Ninja blender, I make soup, dough, smoothies, use it as a food processor, it replaces having to have a ton of different tools.


2011 and 2012 I put a lot of thought into having less and having my less do more for me. The less clutter and items in my space allows me to think clearer and have fewer distractions about. You don’t have to go to fancy expensive stores to live compact either. Almost everything I have in my apartment and office I purchased off of Craigslist and used ZipCar to pick it up.

Think small live big.
From one real reason to another: try change, you may just love it!

2013, AEE , and AVN Awards show is just a few weeks away now.

Many of you have not seen me in person in a few years.

I have a fresh new look and am about to have some smok’n hot new pix based off of these pic and styles.

What photos do you like best?

I feel like making a mess.

Child in me: makes mess, feels satisfied and content, walks away oblivious of the cost.

The cost: someone has to clean up after and had to accomadate the childish actions.

The Adult in me: writes a blog and laughs at the idea of blog writing to clean up a mess of a day.

Thank goodness for the Internet, the sexier mess maker and cleaner-upper.

Are we facebook, are we Amazon, are we Google, are we Twitter, are we YouTube, are we our job, are we our car, are we our home, and are we our clothing?

Do we dance, do we drink, do we smoke, and have we been to college, where were we born, how do we speak?

What is image?

Are we popular? Are we fit? Do we command attention? Are we successful?

Where do we invest our time, money, and love?

Is there fear in nature or is it instinct?

One day we will all be well documented stories in the “cloud” – new perspective on heaven. – LL

We’ll most likely be building them on facebook and Google.

Documentary- In popular myth, the word ‘documentary’ was coined by Scottish documentarian John Grierson in his review of Robert Flaherty’s film Moana (1926), published in the New York Sun on 8 February 1926, written by “The Moviegoer” (a pen name for Grierson).[3]
Grierson’s principles of documentary were that cinema’s potential for observing life could be exploited in a new art form; that the “original” actor and “original” scene are better guides than their fiction counterparts to interpreting the modern world; and that materials “thus taken from the raw” can be more real than the acted article. In this regard, Grierson’s views align with Vertov’s contempt for dramatic fiction as “bourgeois excess”, though with considerably more subtlety. Grierson’s definition of documentary as “creative treatment of actuality” has gained some acceptance, though it presents philosophical questions about documentaries containing stagings and reenactments.
In his essays, Soviet film-maker Dziga Vertov argued for presenting “life as it is” (that is, life filmed surreptitiously) and “life caught unawares” (life provoked or surprised by the camera).
The American film critic Pare Lorentz defines a documentary film as “a factual film which is dramatic.”[4] Others further state that a documentary stands out from the other types of non-fiction films for providing an opinion, and a specific message, along with the facts it presents.[5]
Documentary Practice is the complex process of creating documentary projects. It refers to what people do with media devices, content, form, and production strategies in order to address the creative, ethical, and conceptual problems and choices that arise as they make documentaries.
There are clear connections in terms of practice with magazine and newspaper feature-writing and indeed to non-fiction literature. Many of the generic forms of documentary, for example the biopic or profile; or the observational piece. These generic forms are explored on the University of Winchester Journalism Department ‘features web’ where ‘long form journalism’ is classified by genre or content, rather than in terms of production as film, radio or ‘print’.[6] Thanks to wiki/Documentary_film

Saturn returns – person crosses over a major threshold and enters next stage of life – I’ve always liked the “stage of life”


My next stage of life is Music I presume… now I’ll need to build my community so we can play band together and travel the world making more magic and spreading Love. – Thoughts while eating yucca garlic fries.


Free Will Astrology: capricorn
“In your experience, who is the best-smelling actor that you’ve worked with?” TV host Jon Stewart asked his guest Tom Hanks. “Kevin Bacon,” replied Hanks. Why? Not because of the bacon-as-a-delicious-food angle, although that would be funny. “He smells like a mix of baby powder and Listerine,” Hanks said. Keep this perspective in mind, Capricorn. I think you should be engaged in a great ongoing quest to put yourself in situations with pleasing aromas. I mean this in both the metaphorical and literal sense. To set yourself up for meaningful experiences that provide you with exactly what you need, follow your nose.











More awesome acoustic sets.
