Martin spent most of his time with sports noting; “During October in 1999 my Washington father and I went to see my first professional football game in Seattle. The Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills played at the legendary Kingdome in Seattle. I still have the program booklet to this day. The team then made a brand-new stadium years later, and demolished the Kingdome. I haven’t been to a football game since.” Martin enjoyed Christmas at home with his family stating; “Christmas in Washington was amazing, I remember we went to the Christmas tree farm. My favorite was the farm off of highway 101. We picked out the best tree (rain, shine, or snow) and chopped down the tree soon to be in our living room. We put tinsel, lights, and ornaments on the tree.” Martin regularly visited his father in California every break from school, seeing Oakland A’s games and Mark McGwire play, visiting various Hollywood Studios (Seeing celebrities like Bob Saget), L.A, and relaxing.

After we arrived at the airport, we rented a van and drove to our rented house in Park City, then at night we walked around Salt Lake City. I was impressed. Everyone was trying to wear these hat’s called “Roots”. All the athletes were wearing them. We didn’t wear them, though we had hockey jerseys for team USA we wore.” Martin also appreciates the Disney Amusement parks, and was there in June of 2006 – “About the 3rd day we were there, they had a red-carpet premiere down main street.

(05/1/2023) Contracts (lyrics for Photon Hypernova track)

I’m often reminded of our differences. How we live without communication. With the outlook we have of the world around us. We are pursuing confidence with ourselves. Assuring ourselves no self-affirmation is needed. We all are surviving the cooperation of each other. With our societal contracts, Living for a better day.
