GREEN the lean

According to wikipedia "a Lean-to is a free standing structure of three walls and a sloping roof with an open side sheltered away from the prevailing winds and rains. Often it is a rough structure made of logs or unfinished wood and used as a camping shelter."

I constructed my first lean-to when I was 13 years old. I was on my vision quest under the tuteledge of my Shaman guru Archduke Francesco Frederique. It was nightfall and I was about an hour due east of Puerto de Luna, New Mexico and the desert winds began to kick up.... I needed shelter. Remembering the words of Frederique and summoning all of the might of my newly found power animal I began to gather brush and construct the first of many many lean-tos that vision quest.

That night I built more than a three walled shelter made of unfinished logs and wood, I built what I would later realize was the foundation of a movement...

Though everyone knows that Lean-tos are adequate structures for protecting one from the elements, many people fail to see the environmental damage they wreck on our planet. My project is to build the world's first self sustainable lean-to or "green lean" as I like to call it. It is my hope that with this project I can kick off a revolution that will shake up the long stagnant self-constructed three walled hut industry for the better. But I cannot do it alone, I need your help and support. In the coming months I will track my progress as well as the pitfalls of taking such action but I am confident in the end we can all "GREEN the LEAN!"and in turn make the world a better, greener, healthier, 3 walled place.

But in all seriousness please Support my friend Kate's Project http://yurtalert.com/

Mad Men on Sesame Street

More proof that anything is better in Muppet form:



Its no surprise to anyone that knows me that I really enjoy Muppets. I know this is a pretty common feeling among anyone that grew up in the 80s and enjoyed the Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street (sick website btw!), but I think my love goes way beyond mere admiration or childhood idolization.

What I'm trying to say is I think I really want to become a Muppet. Not like physically, you know...constructed out of felt and wire...but like have a Muppet of myself that I could Muppeteer whenever I wanted. For example, if people came over to visit I would really like it if I could pull out my Muppet, jump behind a couch, and carry on a conversation with them through my Muppet with them talking directly to the Anthony Muppet as if nothing is out of the ordinary. Kobe and Lebron have them, notable douche Kanye West has one, so why not me?!

Naturally, I did some investigative work and discovered this dream of mine is not so far off. Apparently, The Jim Henson Company regularly solicits applications from people to become full fledged Muppeteers. To fulfill a life long childhood dream all I would have to do is submit a 5 to 10 minute tape showing my work with puppets as well as a range of voices I could preform. I really feel like I could nail this if I worked hard enough. So please I'm asking you my friends to help me out on this one....I know we can make it happen.

The last few bits

Stu finally got home from Europe and brought along my camera cord so I could upload the last of my pictures. For those of you that dont know, my camera was crushed somewhere between Paris and Eindhoven and I had to kinda point and shoot for my last few pictures. This is what I came up with
