Have you ever been to Mars? I have, and many times over. It’s not really mars, but it sure feels like it. I have been going to burning man for a long time. However, I haven’t gone for a few years now. I guess I got a bit tired and wanted to travel to other places during those dates.
Let’s get back to the topic, Burning man is canceled! Really??? No no no, not really, but for the past 2 years, it has been canceled due to the pandemic. What a bummer, because burning man is good times to be had. Imagine all your best friends that you have never met, having the time of their life on a completely different planet where everything goes… That’s kind of what burning man is like.
How crazy would it be if burning man gets completely canceled? Well, I’m not sure if that will ever happen, but if it did, I think we would be ok. This past year during “burning man” or canceled burning man, lots of people showed up to black rock desert to do a “renegade burn”. From looking at the photos, it was EPIC. So no you have nothing to worry about. To see the photos, check out Instagram hashtag #renegadeburn
I’m ready to go home! Are you?

Cadillac Ranch is one of those places you see out of the corner of your eye while you are driving and you can’t help but to slam on your brakes. This place super weird in a really cool way. There are loads of paint cans laying all over the place. You can just grave one and paint on the cars.
Cadillac Ranch is not a ranch but a public art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm.
If you ever get see this out of the corner of your eyes, stop and check it out. Have you ever been there?
Burning Man 2015, what a weird crazy year just like the rest of them. I could go on and on and on ranting about Burning Man, but I think you rather look at the photos and try to figure out wtf happened. Here are some of my favorite photos from Burning Man 2015.
Just imagine being in Mars with 60,000 aliens for 7 days. Thats kind of what its like, but not quite… Scroll down to watch a quick vid of the temple burn… I’ll be adding more photos as I go through them, check back soon.
This is the last photo I took as we were leaving the burn. It was amazing getting to the hotel taking a long hot shower and sleeping in a real bed before driving back to Texas then jumping on a plane to Miami…
Here is a short poem I wrote in a hotel room a few weeks ago. I paired it up with this photo of the temple burning out at Burning Man a few weeks back. Actually this was born from looking at this photo while putting some words together…
Everything goes up in flames
the good the bad and even the strange days
the heart breaks and the tears
even your biggest fears
You don’t have to worry
this is all too temporary
just keep walking slowly
towards the mortuary
