Born to Run | a review
Christopher McDougall’s ‘Born to Run’ takes us back to our roots, where we may have in fact been born to run – out of necessity. McDougall takes us on a journey alongside the Tarahumara, a community living the Mexican mountainside that has very much remained off the grid and lives what we would consider a primitive…

Erase party lines on this one folks, and take this one close to heart – that is Republican Tim Pawlenty’s proposed financial plan to eliminate federal programs and services that are readily available out there in the real world. Sound drastic? I call it some good old common sense, and it’s about time! I’ve seen…

I’m generally incredibly hesitant to talk politics here on ‘a New Life’, but we are in a time and space where not one single person in this country can take for granted that the US is a great place to live and everything will be just fine…unfortunately we are as prone to the realities of life, injustice,…
Read MoreEzekiel’s Merkabah | Knowing, Part 3
For this last installment of our review of the film ‘Knowing‘, we will discuss the reference to Ezekiel’s Chariot, and the prophecy that it conveys.

Read Morerandom chance vs determinism | Knowing, Part 1
This post is a continuation of the analysis of my marathon movie weekend. As I escaped the creepiness, yet remained perplexed by The Fourth Kind, I found myself more deeply enveloped by ‘Knowing‘. The film followed my alien themed movie marathon, but more subtly, and emphasized a focus on our perceptions of reality. In the early part of…

Twenty-five years ago this very morning (at age 6) I was sitting on a tile floor in the hallway of Martin Elementary School in Seekonk, Massachusetts watching history unfold in real-time. This school assembly followed a series of classroom lessons about space – our solar system, the moon, and exploration. As the world turns, it often takes…

Tonight’s (1/25/2011) State of the Union marked a critical point in President Obama’s tenure in office, as the event would for any President. Obama came out of the gate while emphasizing free enterprise and innovation, suggesting that both are central to job creation and some relief from recession, and are the true drivers of our…

The deeper I probe into creative writing and various multimedia tools, the more I am both impressed yet intimidated. At the tail end of 2010, I took a hard look at traffic patterns and readership here at ‘A New Life in the Sea’, and came to realize that it was time to ramp things up…
Read MoreCousteau | ahead of his time AND a visionary for the future
‘Cousteau’ is THE name synonymous with our ocean world. In all of our past and future journeys to the sea, underlying our motivations is undoubtedly a vision that has been inspired by this single man. Not only was Cousteau ahead of his time – pioneering numerous innovations in personal life system design, undersea habitation, and wet…
Read Morethe ‘odds’ in Vegas
I’m finding it somewhat ironic that I’ve travelled through two of the last places on Earth I’d ever consider experiencing in just the last two weeks. As I write here today, I’m on my way home from sin city…Las Vegas. While my purpose for being in Vegas was a great one – that is supporting…
