Kasse Made Diabate! From an old album of his. He just came out with a new one with some heavy hitters; Ballake Sissoko(kora instrument), Vincent Segal(cello), Lansine Kouyate(Balafon), and Badje Tounkara(N'goni). I hope they make their way to S.F. </div>

Brandon and I got the chance to experience Ballake and Vincent a while back in Santa Cruz. They played so quietly without amplification. It made your ears more keen to listening. You just closed your eyes and took it all in. </div>

Brandon's also been playing a whole lot of the Blues lately. I appreciate him. To such an exponential degree. For sharing his admiration of music. I don't know of anyone who inspires me more. Will post some inspirational sounds soon. </div>

I made the quickest hit and run to and from L.A a couple of weeks back. Took a workshop with some sensational flower women; Brittany Asch of <a href="http://brrch.com/">BRRCH</a> and Sophia Moreno-Bunge of <a href="http://www.isafloral.com/">Isa Isa</a>. Note to self: do not dare to drive from SF to LA and back. On the same day. Ever again. You will be too tired. You will continuously swerve on the road. You will hate yourself. But it is possible and doable. </div>

A few days ago, I felt the highest privilege. I delivered this family of arrangements for a very special kind. A mother, father, and two daughters. They were recently involved in a most horrific car accident. However the universe chose to go about that accidental day is beyond what any of us could have imagined. The driver they collided with died. But they all lived. Whether through tragic or fortunate events, the untimely beauty of flowers seems to find their way, belonging to them all. I hope these flowers continue to show you that life is truly beautiful. I hope they encourage your strength and continue to heal you all. </div>

On this day, a dear friend of mine went behind her camera and captured me in my element. I hate being the focal point. The center of attention. I hate the vain feeling it brings. Let the work and the flowers speak for themselves, I always tell myself. </div>

It's been a while. These flowas are from a while. So much to update you on. Not sure where to start. The bus is finally up and running. Had my first official pop up shop a few months ago. On mother's day of all the days. I'll save that for another day of journaling. I also started interning at Little City Gardens. It's the only urban garden/farm left in San Francisco. They seem like some of the hardest working folks I've ever met on this side of the flower world. Feeling pumped to be a part it all. I've been gathering photos to update my website. This arrangement will always be a favorite. I designed it for the Musuem of Natural Tryptophobia. The museum is non existent. But if something like that did, best believe I'd be first to jump at the chance to be their resident florist. </div>

Ahoy! It's been a while. I am currently avoiding the gym at all costs, which is why I'm writing this here update. But no, really. I've put in some work on the interior of the bus. I've got my work bench in place and customized some things. Feels like you've stepped onto first class, the skoolie edition. Bus seats turned anew. I'll be utilizing this side of the skoolie to meet with brides and special clients. I want to give them an honest and personal feel of where I come from when it comes to flowers and where I want to take them creatively. If I could have it my way, I'd sell ice cream and french fries out of it too. Flowers, for now. Bigger dreams to come later. Next, I get my sign painter to paint a few good things on the exterior. I've been contemplating on the typography for the longest time. I think I'll go with what I know and love, and what has always stayed familiar.</div>

It's a strange time of the year. The sun is out here in California, but the temperature is nippy. It's winter time and the weird ones come out. I adore these kooky mystical guys. How'd you ever come to form the way you do. Hairy green/purple eye balls and splotted bloody petals as if a vampire tried to devour a human and left its traces on you. Floral anemones. There's the sea anemones and they're just as eccentric.</div>

Been living out here for a little over a month. Got the studio tidied up. Finally. The chaos piled up. You could hardly see the tattered wooden floors. All the ribbon scattered. Took a bit of organization, but finally can call it my own. </div>

This is the first personal of the year. For an old friend. It's interesting the feeling I get when I give these away to people I know. When I'm in the studio, I get creatively deep. I take myself to a weird place, in my mind and feelings. I draw myself back to all the memories, everything that made me happy and alive. All the pain and heartache I endured in the relationship. It gives me a push to take the arrangement from one direction and into the next. It forces me to steer in a direction I've never gone. </div>

I live by the ocean now, so I try my best to stay cardio active. Brandon flies his p51 mustang overhead a mile away while I stumble upon (what could be) my most incredibly scenic jog. I didn't want to stop at first, but mother nature made me. I came to this. How could this be real? I forget how good it is. How good we have it here. On earth. To be ALIVE. It looks like a straight Salvador Dali painting. Except without all his fantasmic characters. It made me reflect hard on where I've been, how far I've come, and where/why/how I continue to grow in this flower fight. I really don't know. I just have to keep doing things with what feels most natural to me. I know that sounds pretty general, but there is no better feeling than being yourself. And I have to keep doing just that. That's what mother nature would want. </div>

Yesterday, the Bay Area got hit the hardest it has ever this year with rain. Give or take its severity, it's predicted to be like this for the next couple of weeks. Knee deep flooding on a majority of our freeways. Took me an hour and forty five to get to work the other day. California definitely needs it. This here is the calm before all the storm.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
I've finally moved back into the city. Feels nice to be a part of SF, but still away from all the hustle and bustle of it all. The Outer Sunset has got a great feel to it. Sure we endure fog more than anyone else in the Bay, but it's pristine during Indian summer. It doesn't get any better, anywhere.<br />

Outside of family, I'm sure I have just about 3 people who go out of their way to read this dear blog of mine. That's okay. I just wanted to inform you patient and loyal souls that the Endeavors bus got a new face lift! She's painted pretty and looking as sharp as can be. Serious business, she means. She's got a chubby fierceness to her. Her hips are wide but she's feeling prouder than ever.<br />
<br />
The yellow school bus is gone. Feels liberating honestly. I was driving her everywhere with the yellow paint job and I got the funniest and strangest looks from everyone (considering I never had any school kid passengers). Some people would stop me in my tracks and ask about it. Why I drove the mini chub a lub around. It was nice to inform strangers about my dreams. Everyone was endearing once they heard Chub would eventually be turned into a floral mobile shop. Some bobbled their heads concerned as to why I drove it and kept their thoughts to themselves. It felt nice to catch interested attention to folks in the community.<br />

I forgot to post some music in the previous entry. So here is something worthy to educate you all. These musicians from Mali really do speak the truth. I wish this philosophy about music was applied and instilled in the American lifestyle. We're so consumed with fast cars and fashion. We've become a capitalistic society, and for what, materialistic pleasures to make us feel like we have it better than everyone else? What a better world would we live in if we concentrated on real matters at hand, on honest passion, and preserving our personal cultures.<br />

Here are a couple of videos on musicians from Mali. These videos solidify my appreciation for real music, where it all started, to an even higher degree. In a place where their only way of survival is to play music, their instruments have been stripped of them, and yet they still continue to persevere. </div>

Not feeling the giddiest to be posting past weddings when I should be. Updating you on the work I do with flowers is what I try to do on here, but lately all I feel is how tired I've been, consumed in the restaurant. Feeling like there's just not enough time for me to fully give to flowers, or there's not enough opportunities that allow me to do it. In the end, all this talk is just resistance. I've been reading the book, The War of Art. Talks all about resistance and how vital of a role it plays at diminishing our fullest potential. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Work on the skoolie has been slow. I'm trying to save all the tip money I possibly can which is going directly towards the bus, but seems like it's taking longer then I thought. Frustrating sometimes. Being stuck in a job that hinders your creativity. Luckily my bosses are so kind and accommodating with me, especially when it comes to any of my flowers gigs. They always give me the time I need and never make me feel that the work I do in the restaurant is more important than my dreams. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know how badly I want it with flowers. I've taken every advantage I have gotten when it's presented before me. I guess it'll take more patience until I can delve in it full time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I should be packing up and getting ready for my move back to the city, but Brandon has severe poison oak and it's spreading everywhere. Apparently it's contagious. Urishiol is the oily allergen found in poison oak and he thinks it's possible that there are traces of it throughout the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's not much to move. Vases, books, clothes, a couple pieces of furniture. It shouldn't be too hard. I'm pretty sure I can haul ass everything inside the bus in one shot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are a couple of photos of arrangements I did on a wedding earlier this month. It's a weird thing I feel when I look back on previous work. It's that ongoing cycle of never being fully satisfied with it. In the moment, I feel so great and on top of the world, and 2 weeks later, I say to myself, "f*ck, I hate it, I could do better. Does this feeling ever change? I hope not. </div>

I here by introduce to you Endeavors. The Yellow School Bus Tonka Truck. Soon to be floral and botanical mobile/delivery shop. Just picked her up this past monday. She's in for a huge transformation. A lot to do. You probably won't even recognize her once she's finally made over. Severe butt cheeks and boob implants are in order. She's going to be one hell of a sex machine once we've painted and gutted the shit out of her. It's a lot of work, but we're shooting to have her finished by the beginning of the new year. Pictures to come. </div>

I'll be moving back to San Francisco in a couple of months. Closer to the beach. Will finally have work space to call my very own. More time for creativity and personal time with flowers. I'll be moving in with Brandon and the fishies. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll certainly miss this back yard here in Pacifica. So much ample space. Golden happy hour here was killer. The weather is almost always just how you want it to be. Never too hot. Nor too cold. Just RIGHT. Regardless of the season. No extremes, but always just extremely pleasant. I'll miss it tremendously. </div>

Tonight I leave you with Bassekou Kouyote and Ngoni Ba. Had the pleasure of hearing them a couple years ago. This song is from their 2010 album, I speak Fula. If the Malian music hits you. This album. Must. Get. It. Best believe I'll be bumpin this kind of stuff while I gas, break, dip with Endeavors. Can't wait to open up shop and get the flower lovers groovin to this kind of stuff. </div>

I've just come back from doing the wedding of my dreams. Above is Gina's personal prior to leaving the door. My sister posing for it. She leaves in 3 weeks. Bought herself a one way ticket to Asia. I hope she returns, not soon, but long enough to find, give, and receive all things she's been setting out to do and be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last weekend was total and utter complete, creative freedom. I could update you about that, but I'm still enjoying my high. All that comes with working a 4:00am-1:00am gig for the past 3 days is equally delusional and exhausting, and for whatever last weekend was worth, I would do it all over again. Maybe because I value the couple so much. Maybe because they are family. And the relationship I have with them is just as significant as the relationship I have with flowers. Ideally it's because it's just LOVE and HAPPINESS. It's funny as someone may not understand the pun that was intended, unless you were physically there. The two that wed over the weekend celebrated their opening wedding ceremony to Al Green's hit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have to update you about Castroville succulent Mecca. I'm still soaking everything in. So I'm leaving you with music instead. Brandon and I have been on an Imarhan Timbuktu binge for the past week. I'll never get tired of this simple Touareg music. I hope the festival of the desert comes back so we can do Africa and enjoy real music.</div>

It's always a privilege doing flowers for funerals. It provides somewhat a sense of comfort and beauty at a most tragic time. Until you create it for someone you know. The pain of it is indescribable. No matter how much work you put into it. No amount of effort can bring back your beloved. </div>

Uncle Pie. Your spirit is alive and well today. We celebrated you and the hard fought life you lived. I hope you're enjoying the afterlife. These flowers are for you. </div>

just received a few images from a sweet photographer I met a while back. A million thank yous to you, <a href="http://jamiegrenoughphotography.com/">Jamie Grenough</a>. It's been tough here on my end recently. My family has been mending the loss of a loved one. Just trying to cope. Flowers and spending quality time with loving and familiar faces have helped. Tomorrow I head to Castroville to visit a ginormous succulent farm. Keeping myself, busy. One day at a time. </div>

Big Mama Wrasse ( 1st photo, top right) and Leopard Wrasse (2nd photo, bottom left) are finally in the building. I've been having the hardest time photographing these two (via cell phone) as fish aren't the most excited when it comes to cheesin for the camera. Right when I hold up the ginormous rectangular thing, they run (more like swim) and hide. Like I'm some big shark of a cell phone. So finally I got to take a snap of the two. They're the biggest guys in the tank. Three times bigger than the next largest fish. But they are definitely the sweetest, and super friendly amongst the other fish, considering their size. Everyone gets along and everyone is thriving and happy. Except for the tiniest Chromie. He died the other day. Got eaten by the skrimpies. Brandon rushed to pull what was left of little Chromie out. If you keep dead fish in the tank, it creates severe bacteria that's infectious and could harm everyone (corals included) in the tank. It's sad when they die. But we get over it fast. Not as painful as losing a dog or a cat, or even a 30 lb. iguana as fish don't tend to live for very long.<br />

That's a wrap. I'm done rambling about fish. Here is Fatoumata Diawara. She's here tonight in the city. I wish I was there to enjoy her, but my stomach is aching a bit and I'm currently curled up in fetal position, typing this post, in hopes that it the pain goes away. </div>

We have them. The good days and the bad ones. We take the Yin with the Yang, because without them both, we wouldn't know what it's like to experience the other. In today's case, I took in all the good.</div>

I finally got to touch flowers today, after a weeks worth without it. I craved it. I needed time alone with them. To reflect on myself. To soak them all in. I foraged wild ones and bought some from the market. I think every arrangement I've done has been a combination of both. It hasn't ever felt right if I didn't take part in finding them in the wild. That's what creativity has always been for me. Taking what's readily available and mixing it up with the not so readily available; the nearly unattainable. </div>

The photo directly above is a perfect description of Brandon and I. Tomorrow, I'll be using his mixed reef aquascape tank as background for a special arrangement. I hope the fish don't mind.</div>

I don't have much to say. Just grateful that it has finally arrived. SPRING. We are now entering the mother load of big beauty florals. Those guys up there. Feeling thankful for such an incredible bunch. Usually you're lucky if you find 2 or at most 3 stems that really do justice. In this case, all 12 stems are good. Real good. All exquisite. No two a like. I'm looking forward to creating tomorrow as it's been a while since I've touched the good stuff. Its been ongoing editing trying to get the new website going. But it will be up. WILL! </div>

It's friday and we all need a little night time music goodness. Here is Ousmane and Yakare. Ousmane's voice is incredible. Powerful, yet still contained. He's got such great control. This music is not for the faint of heart. Open mind, ears, feelings and most importantly, open hearts are deeply encouraged. </div>

Brandon's out running errands while I sit here and edit photos for the upcoming website. I'm taking a quick break from all the clicking and sitting I've been doing for the past few hours. Admiring his new tank. Just took photos of it. So astonishing. Authentic & Kooky. The bodacious-ness of it all. The unreal-ness of this tank is so very real. I gain so much color and textural inspiration when working with flowersfrom it, I almost forget that it's nature I'm looking at.<br />
