This flu season has been a really intense one for many, many people.

I came down with it the day after Lucent L’amour, during breakdown I started to feel a tickle in the back of my throat, other than that I thought nothing of it. The next day I could barely get out of bed and so it was for the next 7 days: super weak, feverish, swollen glands, phlegm, horrible cough, etc.

The 8th day I still had a pretty awful cough (and still do) and a really weird disorientation that’s still with me. It comes up multiple times throughout the day, especially when I try and deal with any work related tasks.

What I realized while sick is just how complicated my life has become. I think now, my body/self is revolting against me with just about anything I have going. It’s like how when you’re sick and you lose your taste for everything, only I’ve lost taste for nearly everything in my life; it’s quite disconcerting really.

All I want to do now is simplify.

I think about moving back to my hometown, where life is much simpler and rural. I’m so done and over this whole city living thing. I think about old friends and all my family. I think about there being more Nature then artificiality. And, I think about returning to my roots in outdoor adventures, with Rivertribe.

I’ve just become really discouraged about making all this a reality now that the sale of my fabric company has fallen through and I’m stuck with attorney fees and other liabilities. I was so ready to move on from that company and had so much lined up with the cash I would have walked away with. Owning your own company has its fair share of pros and cons.

Sometimes I just want to quit at playing boss and go work for someone else again. The only problem there is that I don’t think I’d remember how to humble myself to be told what to do and when to do it.

I’m really hopeful that my thirties will bring a whole new wave of change and that my outlook on life improves with age.

The Do LaB’s annual Lightning In A Bottle is coming up fast.

This year’s website has just been launched and tickets are already on sale. Stop on by the site and check out everything in store.

It’s going to be an amazing event! And I’m not saying that cause I’ve worked on it since day one, this event has really matured into something wonderful.

Been totally down and out with the flu, the worst I’ve had in years, for the last week or so.

Right before that was The Do LaB’s now legendary Lucent L’amour event, which I helped set-up, run and then breakdown the week prior to that. Here’s a few pics:

I’ve posted more online here at Tribe.

I haven’t touched much of anything online or otherwise in the last week and will slowly be catching up over the next week.

One of my roommates at the Sugar Shack recently discovered a striking resemblance between Mitt Romney and Sam the Eagle.

Thank god Romney dropped out of the 2008 presidential race.

One of my Sugar Shack roomies and partners in multiple business endeavors, Dr. Ryan Wartena, recently whipped out a bad-ass, personal photovoltaic electricity system.

His brother, an equally talented artist/designer/photographer type posted a blog about it recently here.

Be on the look out for Ryan’s “Sol Blossom” at an event, website or maybe even retail store some time in the near future.

One of my business partners Adam Wiggins‘ latest company Heroku, got its first TechCrunch mention today.

Congratulations to Adam, Orion and James for their continued success!

Earlier today I went to post another blog in support of Ron Paul‘s campaign and to announce my vote for him in today’s CA primary.

Much to my shock and horror, a horrendous McCain skyscraper had taken over the entire Google Adsense block in my right nav bar! I’ve taken a snapshot just for proof and recognition:

Needless to say, I deleted the Adsense code immediately until I could get in and update my Adsense acocunt settings, which I’ve now done; if you see any ads running in violation of my support of Dr. Ron Paul, please bring them to my attention immediately.

Anyway, be sure to check in on your blog account settings too if you haven’t yet done so!

Update: I have also just emailed Ron Paul’s campaign organizers and blogger to announce this.
