Changes
How do you explain to someone you have changed, when it’s an internal shift and not one that can necessarily be seen on the exterior.. yet? Nothing I can say will be able to capture the experience I had while on pilgrimage.
The 9 most intense days of my life. a never ending rollercoaster ride that just didnt stop. It hasn’t stopped yet.
This blog post is almost useless in trying to describe my journey, but I feel compelled to write it anyway.
All I can do at this point, is show the world through actions the fundamental changes that have occurred. Whether they be subtle or dramatic, things are changing.
I believe I’m up for it.
Pilgrimage- Haifa, Israel
HAIFA.
After a quick stop off in London, I will have the pleasure of being in the presence of Beauty and Perfection for 9 straight days. The picture captures some of the terraces on Mt. Carmel that lead down to the Shrine of The Bab, one of the Twin Manifestions in the Baha’i Faith.
Picture courtesy of Ms. Anu Mohajerjasbi that she took when she had the opportunity to go on her pilgrimage. This picture is stunning, but can’t even begin to illustrate what it will be like in person.
I can’t even begin to conceive how I will react.
This is my last blog until I return. Whether or not I blog about my experience, I’m not too sure. Sometimes moments like these can not be explained in words. But who knows.
Cheers.
R.I.P. Teddy Pendergrass
If you didn’t know who this man was, that is just really unfortunate.
But there is no time like the present to educate yourself.
Check it. Babies were definitely made with this song playing in the background.
Shoot, let me make a baby with this song in the background. After marriage, of course.
You know this song is a classic when you hear the infamous conversation between man and woman 3/4th’s of the way into it. HAHA you gotta love it.
Little Lion Man- Mumford and Sons
For one of the youth in the community, David Ansari. This guy gives me hope about our future generations. A young artist himself (whose apparently amazing), he has a mind, heart, and soul that refuses to listen to the crap that people try and call music. More than just refuse, he can articulate with great passion what music makes him feel, which also seems to be a rarity. We have been meaning to trade music every Tuesday as a way to share musical tastes with one another. We have both slacked, hence why I’m writing this post.
Anyway this song made me think of you man. You and Zia. 
Thanks to Eric for showing me this song. The rest of the album pales in comparison to this song, but its still worth checking out. The music is beautiful. For the other songs, just ignore the lead’s cheesy, sometimes redundant lyrics.
PHOTO SHOOT
How bout a virtual high five for talented friends! Saman receives a lighting lesson from Jordan and I get to be the “model”. She’s so good, I get some fresh photos from the process. My question is, if she is this good just learning, how phenomenal will she be later? Again, talented friends.. and amazing women.
Now I need to step my creative game up a few notches. Lets vie for service shall we then?

New Link for Macklemore’s THE TOWN (Official Video)
PEOPLE…We had to change a scene in the video. Unfortunately we lose all the comments/plays that were building at an insane rate. SO…If you left a comment before on youtube, it’d be tight if you’d re-typed it, played the video 17 times and spread this all over kingdom come
Read and watch (yes there is video lol) what went down in the last 24 hours by peeping Zia Mohajerjasbi’s blog, Love and Shoestrings.
If it wasn’t for Ms. Saman Maydani, we would have been screwed. EVERYONE THANK HER.
The Town-Macklemore (Official VIDEO)
Director: Zia Mohajerjasbi
Producers: Kirby Grey and Sam Toloui
YES. Some of our best work, collectively. I love you, Seattle.
