08.23.2011 Jaime Shade’s Jealousy [PODCAST]

After the east coast earthquake I found myself jealous of the people in NYC who experienced the ground moving under their feet. I took a step back and realized that being jealous of something like this is kind of insane. I then started to think of all of the weird things I was jealous of as a child.

On New Zealand and the earthquake…

Jaime Shade in Waiotapu (2008)

I went to New Zealand for a month in 2008. A small earthquake happened one of the nights I was in Wellington, and I remembered being highly paranoid of any sort of seismic or volcanic activity during the rest of my stay. Hearing about the devastating earthquake in Christchurch brought back not only good memories of my stay, but also reminded me of what the Kiwis live with and keep in the back of their minds throughout their lives.

I still wear my Pounamu pendant, and all of my friends can testify that at least once a week I have a “in NZ they do it this way” story. A part of me still lives there.
