I believe I started blogging in 2008.  A blog, as a free public medium, was very appealing as a dated place to write. And the fact that blogs can be read worldwide is also a plus. I eventually started devising interviews and posing the ideas to close friends of mine who were keen.

Perhaps it was in the autumn of 2009 that I had compiled more than a handful of interviews, when my close friend, Cory Hainline, a man who I have always admired, inquired about an interview.  But when he asked I was starting to become bored with the  interview process, and blogging as a whole.  I drifted away from Rice and Egg and sought new undertakings.

Well, another great friend of mine, John Lindsay, has been an avid blogger of the underground, international skate scene, and because I like John and his artistic visions and persona so much I proposed we use his blog as the site to launch that interview I forgot about almost four years ago; the Cory Hainline interview for Behold!  I feel honored to have been apart of this. 

If you have time to kill, feel free to check out some of the aforementioned interviews from a few years ago:

Guadalupe

Greetings,

I'm pleased to introduce to you Guadalupe.  The tale of Miss Guadalupe is an interesting one that I would like to share with you:

Guadalupe was born in the city of Moka, which is located in the mountainous region of Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.  Guadalupe's biological parents were both diligent factory workers of the Honda family.  After entering this worldly plane she lingered with her original parents for a few months before being sent to an orphanage in Miami, Florida.  After some time spent in the sun, Guadalupe acclimated quite nicely, and her name was christened after being adopted by a young and caring couple; me and me missus.  Guadalupe has proven to be the model daughter and we are so very pleased to have her as a vibrant and reliable addition to our family.

Love,

Father

John Cardiel

"All Hail Cardiel" - This is a well known quote within the skateboard subculture, and all that have seen John Cardiel skate can understand why this quote has been engrained in our skate-psyche. As well as skateboarding and snowboarding, Cardiel is also a mad man on a bicycle. Try not to hold your breath while watching him destroy on a track bike.

The skate footage at the bottom should help you understand the depth of "All Hail Cardiel".

Natsuki !

Give it up for Natsuki Yasunami! Natsuki skates for 5Nuts skateboard shop, Japan.

In 2006-2007, Natsuki, myself, and friends skated all over Yokohama's Naka Ward, and Shin-Yokohama, every week, usually at night after we got off from work. We had some really fun times living the urban Japanese dream through skateboarding; guzzling beers and devouring butter peanuts outside of convenience stores, wandering the dense urban forest that Yokohama and major Japanese metropolises really are, and catching the last train home, exhausted with sweaty socks and beer breath. Experiencing Yokohama's vast array of architecture and 19th century European influence, as well as Yokohama's China Town, was a blast! And to experience it with Natsuki and friends (5Nuts crew) really made my time in the Far East memorable.

Dali x Kuniyoshi

Voluptas Mors, photograph by Philippe Halsman (in collaboration with Salvador Dalí), 1951

Most people know of Salvador Dali; a Spanish painter, whose imaginative
renderings catapulted the surrealist movement pre-World War II. Dali’s imagination was distinctively authentic, eccentrically unique, and far-out groovy, man! But from where did his imagination propagate? Perhaps you can find slight similarities in
Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s woodblock prints, circa 1840-ish, and Dali's collaborative work, Voluptas Mors, that has wiggled it's way into pop-culture.

The world needs more role models, and we all need to realize we encounter role models everyday. Observe and learn from people, cultures, and nature; observe and learn from your surroundings in a positve manor.
