This blog in particular will most likely feature reviews and opinions, thoughts and feelings about art.. music.. designer toys.. and whatever else comes across my path and blows my mind. Maybe some of my friends will actually check in from time to time to see what is happening in the land of Sumatra 71...
I'm not really sure why I chose this nickname Sumatra 71 but for some reason it just rolls off the tongue and works for me. I imagine lying on the beach overlooking the Indian Ocean back in 1971 "the year I was born" and soaking up the lush and tropical surroundings. I'm hanging out with a beautiful island girl and kicking back with some drinks.. we are covered in sand from dancing about and just enjoying life and one another's company while listening to the wind and musical waves crash around us... this thought helps me forget about the bills... the longs days at work... the everyday routine of you will... so this is why I chose this alternate identity just in case anyone was wondering... yeah' right, like someone was actually thinking about this... anyway...
Welcome to my world part one...
Here are some funs facts about the sixth largest island in the world...
