...Yet Another Epic, Untold, Saga...


Regardless of stories we've heard about conceptions of right and wrong/good and bad, we're all familiar with stories of War, and that really no one wins in the end. History buries these stories in bound pages deep in musty basement corridors, where only age-worn antiques still stroll down, all maybe just to circulate the abundant spiderweb buildup. Let it now be said that although history told us a tale of the Battle Of Lexingburg and Concord, be it known that the ending has yet to be told....
The tension between these two towns, the build-up each year, the family's breeding children to become star soccer players, the bake sales for new uniforms- the weight of the social world lies on but a game, held at a modest middle school in a modest hamlet, known to most as lexington.
I approached the battlefield unsure of what to expect, the general of the lexington army was pacing end to end of the field as if to fuel the motivational fire these warriors with being fueled with. It is to no fault however then to the leader, that Concord took the battle. In the end it was a grizzly fight that came left a lot of blodd sweat in tears on the field today. Some were murmuring of that final goal being the "Shot heard Round the World" and that this rival has been quenched, but the Lexington team told me by the look in their eyes this is but another chapter in a bitter rivalry locking these two towns together- truly justifying each others existence through raw, bloody war. This was a game for both teams to players to tell their children about one day.....Much respect to Coach Andy Wright for leading his team to a close second in this round, in what the Ancients once called socca...
...On my way to the gam-ahem, battle i stopped and picked up a new camera and im still getting used to the lens, so it wasn't intentional i only got a little of Andy in the shot.....Truth be told I did not just randomly get a beer with the soccer coach but was meeting an old friend who I hadn't seen in ages (just think Swedish Jedi). Caught up and discussed everything except taking our pilot to networks, The Swedish Meatball...

Aightthassiit i am spent. Got a phonecall on the way back telling me I have a place to live this winter......might go work for a couple weeks in Michigan on my way out west....am trying to come thru minneapolis to see another jedi friend (not swede tho)......chicago i need to make it thru as well but time is running short........we welcome all side ventures, especially if they fund themselves, so perhaps michigan takes some priority......

New video to be uploaded soon! Chapter 1 of the Video Mixtape!

you can make it so that only registered people posts comments, but then alot of people wont feel like registering to just comment... so both ways its a bitch.

I used to go out to Shilo, TN with the good ole' Boy Scouts to go hike around and see where some of the Civil War took place. Some of those spots resonated with the spirits of those lost in the war. It was really chilling. It's amazing that the battle rages on in a new form....
