Hey! It’s me, maxey fish and sea. You may know by now that I work for TOMS Shoes. And you may know that for every pair you purchase, we give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One fo One, nice and simple. So buy a pair, ok?
Furthermore, my job is to make their videos. This week I made a video of the last shoe drop that some of my coworkers went on. That’s when we give the shoes to the children. They took footage with this little toy camera called a Harinazumi, not important. What is important is that I’m excited about this video for 2 reasons. First, it features the music of our friend Robert C.E. Delong, who just came out with an amazing album a few weeks ago.
Secondly, I’m excited about this video because it is a glimpse into my near future. In late April I’ll be going down to Argentina for a shoe drop just like this one. Lookin’ forward to it. AND I get to make a one week pit stop in Bolivia to see a bunch of my old basketball teammates and friends of El Caracol! The future is bright.

For Christmas, I got a present from my roommate Brandon. It was a one way train ticket to Fullerton, CA. Fullerton is a town about 30 miles from our home in Los Angeles. Fullerton is known for its petroleum extraction, transportation, and manufacturing. What an opportunity! But how to get back!???
He was nice enough to offer his company on this adventure. So we greased up our chains, hopped on the train, chugga chugga’d to scenic Fullerton….
and peddled home.

Made it JUST IN TIME! (rode our bikes THROUGH the train terminal, got on the train 20 seconds before the doors locked shut).

Two young men excited to be in Fullerton.

Scenic East LA!

Merry Christmas to me.

This week I made a video about One Day Without Shoes. On April 8th, TOMS is trying to raise awareness of kids ’round the world without shoes. I think its just a good excuse to go barefoot without anyone giving you any flack.

We have been through it.
The places we thought we might not reach
Hidden in places we weren’t that sure we would be able to get to.
but somehow we got here.
The magic that happens when you let yourself let others in.
I might just be speaking from within,
but without friends,
there wouldn’t be much to speak about to begin
We’ve grown to love so kindly from she.
a heart as big as it is free. showing freedom in ways to live.
To GIVE. To give. and to give. without restraint.
like branches of a tree jangling down singing melodies as they sway.
and her muse. a creative force that sings songs by day.
Calling us all to be the same. Joyful and brave. Giving joy and watching it be.
It grows into seeds of new words and new trees
and she plants them right back into the ground
watching life sprout from the sound of echoes that have once believed they were born from dirt.
And if it hurt she would mend it.
To make right the wrongs that have once believed they belonged there.
And in his silence he stares, seeing her healing touch bring forth life
So he tells us what that looks like, in colors and lines.
That would tell time if they could be kept within sand.
He has a brand.

I remember the first night I moved into Synchronicity LA. We had a creative meeting and Mariah set the tone with a recital of an Andrea Gibson spoken word piece. It was so incredibly executed and such a perfect way to set the tone for that meeting and my whole experience at the house. I was in awe of the folks that surrounded me from that very moment and they have continued to astound and inspire me. Last Wednesday a handful of the talented souls in the house had a chance to show off their skillz in unison. This happens occasionally, and I just wanted to film it so I could brag about them to those further away from our home.
The occasion this time was A Night of Discovery at Azusa Pacific University. Johanna played her music that I could hear a thousand times and a thousand times after that and never grow tired of. Mariah and Amy recited spoken original word like they’d been doing it for a decade. Trent, Craig, Bethany, and Amy also put some of their intricate art on display.
The performance was titillating, the art exceptional, and the mood celebratory. I am so inspired by the creativity and intentionality that my roommates show to support those who need a little more lovin’ than they’re gettin’. Ya’ll amaze me.

Last Friday my roommate JP invited a few of us from the house to play music as he spat his latest words. We opened up for Listener, who is one of the, if not the pioneer of ‘talk music.’ Its a real interesting mish mash of poetry, hip hop, often folk, electronic, or even punk sounds. Dan, from Listener, was adorned in a glorious coyote shirt which he hinted he only wears on Fridays, I like that–and oh boy he spoke with passion. Coyote shirt and passionate words plus often hilarious, often frightening stage presence equaled me wanting to roll some tape. Here he performs “Falling In Love With Glaciers.” Enjoy.
