Both funny and insightful, SAMSI is a writer (or, as he puts it, more of a conceptual explorer) who has spent many years hitchin’ and hoppin’ around the United States. It stemmed from a life-altering epiphany atop the Golden Gate Bridge. He’s been everywhere man… New Orleans, Hawaii, Montana. Now he’s posted back up in San Diego, California (for a bit), before heading off the Portland to join, SHANGA VISION, a new film production company. SO: Is it possible to find the deeper meaning of life without travel? And when is the right time to stop and stand still? (Aside from on a highway in the middle of a traffic jam.) And what is it with writers and their issues (namely why do so many have so many?) All this and more discussed + some jazzy-soulful-electrifying poetry. PLUS intro and outro music provided by one of Samsi’s own experimental bands.\r\nMusic: “Slipping Slowly” by Astral Travel Agency\r\n \r\nCheck some more of Samsi’s work: alteredwaltzer.wordpress.com\r\nA music video by Shanga Viasion for the band THE SHIVAS: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sWGiQMwsRNU\r\nAnd if you want to catch him in person, stop by the Red Poets Society open mic on Wednesdays:  https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sdredpoets\r\nDon't forget to download + subscribe to SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING on iTunes and like us on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/saysomethinganything\r\n \r\n ","author_name":"Say Something, Anything ","author_url":"http:\/\/saysomethinganything.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
