Five Tips From… Vinnie Ray

“I
wrote these tips while swinging from a hammock where the jungle meets the ocean
in Venezuela….So this is sort of travel, world experience related stuff…”

1. Tell all your friends about your travels, show them pictures
and encourage them to do the same.  We can gain so much perspective by
travelling, especially outside your own country.

2. To see the
line between Order and Chaos, look at a pineapple, for instance. You realize
that things alive and growing have order, patterns, structure.  Then they die
and the organizing life force leaves the vessel, it falls to the ground in a
random fashion collecting with all the other random debris. If you look at a
lump of corral it’s chaos with nice colors.

3. There is a
drink in Japan called Shochu.  It’s clear and mixes like vodka.  It’s very old,
but making a come back cause it doesn’t give you a hang over!  Mixes well with
Green Tea on ice.

4. Let’s make a Wind Farm art commune.

5. Much of the graffiti in South America is political messages
scrawled on walls.  If you got your can of spray paint and tagging your thing
try adding some criticism to the wall.  We have to start working to get George
W. out of office now….
