Jason Mraz: My Partner Isn’t Pregnant

Jason Mraz in Brazil

checked in on his blog at MySpace on Saturday (July 31), with more thoughts on the “Double Rainbow” guy on YouTube, and clarifying an impression that his significant other is pregnant, and they would hold off on marriage until everyone has the right to marry. The San Diego singer songwriter tells readers:

This is so good it deserves a double post – All the way across the sky. Perhaps the comments I attached to it took away from the man’s journey, his wonder, his unbridled emotion. The first time I watched it, I got to laughing so hard that I missed the man’s question, “What does it mean?”

We all get to pondering the coincidences in our lives. I woke up today at 11:11. What does that mean? Just as I was thinking about my friend, she called. What does that mean? In my opinion – It’s the universe’s way of wanting you to win. It’s all of life’s way of reminding you that are a great creator in this game and that your participation is necessary. Living in synchronicity with your surroundings is the ultimate suggestion that your thoughts, your speech, your beliefs, your actions, and your attitudes are what is creating THE life experience. So what does it mean to see a double rainbow all the way across the sky? Only you know the answer to that because you chose to paint it there. The sky is yours.

As for my comments from yesterday’s post, I was simply digging on and into creation. My partner and I are not expecting a child. As for marriage? The activist in me would prefer to protest my own marriage until ALL PEOPLE are granted the freedom to marry. It doesn’t mean I honor and cherish my friend any less. We would just like to see our kind of love flourish in the hearts and homes of everyone else.

Jason Mraz: Life Is Just A Kaleidoscope

is offering his thoughts on how he relates to the infamous “double rainbow” YouTube video in his latest blog at MySpace. The singer songwriter and environmental activist writes:

Quite honestly, this is how I feel in relationship these days. Even more disgustingly, the word “creationship” comes to mind when referring to what my partner and I have – both of us in full-on dream/manifesting mode – that which is both the cause of our reunion and the cleverness of our daily progress.

What I’ve come to see is how life is just a kaleidoscope, light bouncing off of light – people being mirrors for everyone else’s light. I’m starting to realize our God and Goddess power by allowing our two dreams to merging as one. I suppose the deeper we go in this creation game we’ll end up with a baby. Is there anything more creative than that?

Jason Mraz Is A Vampire Songwriter

Jason Mraz Levi's Pioneer Sessions

checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Friday (July 23), discussing how he used to be the king of sneaky sleep while in school, only to grow up to continue to be someone who liked to nap in the day and get his work done at night. The singer songwriter tells readers:

As an adult – as someone who is the creator of his experience, I am fortunate to surround myself with those who bugger off if I collapse into a coma while on the job. They know I work best in the evening anyway – which is when everyone knows I write my best sh**. It’s the vampire writer in me, thirsty for the blood of life, some kind of innocent truth. After everyone leaves I hole up in the studio, get wicked on green tea and work my mumbles into something magical. By the AM, all faith is restored in the community, if it were ever lost.

Jason Mraz Participates In Hands Across The Sand

checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (June 24), talking about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and his participation in Saturday’s Hands Across the Sand event, which saw people demonstrating against offshore oil drilling more than 750 beaches across America. The San Diego singer songwriter tells readers:

I don’t live THAT close to the beach. I have to drive at least 20 minutes to get to my local break and that’s IF I catch all the green lights. Recently I’ve been holding a heavy stomach about that simple drive – guzzling gas up and down my coast in search of waves. The onshore wind and overcast skies make the water crumbly and near-impossible to surf, though – I’m grateful the water is clean.

All along the beaches of our Gulf Coast, surfers, fisherman and summer vacationing families and businesses are beginning to see the Oil devastation up close. For those who love a simple walk on the beach now walk in disbelief and have to watch closely to avoid walking in hazardous tar. Swimming is out of the question – and with oil still flowing offshore, it could be years before these coasts are suitable to support life and recreation.

Jason Mraz Advocates Draft To Tackle BP Oil Spill Cleanup

checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Monday (June 21), commenting on the condition of the Pacific Ocean in comparison to the Gulf of Mexico in wake of the BP oil spill disaster. The San Diego singer songwriter opined:

On the Gulf, the beaches are slowly being consumed by oil while the food supply and natural wildlife literally suffocate.

Why is it when the Rolling Stones play a concert on the beach in Rio, 1 million people show up?

Why aren’t there 1 million people lining up around the Gulf of Mexico ready to clean and protect the water?

Anyone who has a driver’s license should be draft-able and called to take action. We are all responsible.

Jason Mraz Discusses Trip To Ghana

updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (June 17), sounding off on children being exploited for cheap labor or as soldiers and offering some details on his trip to Ghana. The singer songwriter tells readers:

This morning I read a story in the paper about a 9 year-old soldier in Somalia – one of thousands on the front lines in a war supported by the United States. Having seen what I saw in Ghana I totally believe it. The only difference between my trip and this one is kids wielding guns rather than fishing nets. (Well not really. I don’t think the boys on the lake in Ghana are purposely trained to kill you with a knife.) I got present to how poverty stricken nations see children as cheap labor. They’re easy to manipulate and abundant. They’re also cheap to use, if not disposable.

Jason Mraz Tours Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory

checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Monday (June 7), discussing his tour of the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream factory in Middlebury, Vermont. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Before arriving I’m envisioning the place to be a Wonkaian wonderland, complete with lick-able wallpaper, glass elevators, and a psychedelic steamboat ride on a river of chocolate, all run of course by talented individuals of the shortest stature. With Ben & Jerry – Peace, Love, and Ice Cream is the mantra. So of course I’m anticipating an audio tour read by Trey Anastasio, guided by glowsticks, followed by an Ultimate Frisbee game and some Noodle Dancing to the tune of #41 by DMB, all to shed the weight after all the free samples are said and melted. (I speak from experience btw. When I was 20, I weighed 20 pounds more than I do today thanks to my diet of Chubby Hubby and Cherry Garcia. Were it not for Dave Matthews’ concerts, I doubt I would have exercised at all.)

The ice cream factory tour was everything I’d thought it would be – A peek into the production center and a seven minute video about the history of two fat kids who split the cost of a $5 correspondence course, earning them a degree in ice cream making. From the start the two friends had social consciousness and community in mind. On their first anniversary, they created free-cone day. To this day on their anniversary, every store participates, giving away more than a million cones – roughly 280 million calories heard around the world.

Jason Mraz: Take Action In Wake Of BP Oil Spill

Jason Mraz Levi's Pioneer Sessions

checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Saturday (June 5), talking about the Surfrider Foundation’s San Diego Chapter awarding him their prestigious Clean Water Award and offering his suggestions on how to take action regarding the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Supporting an organization that protects our coastlines isn’t limited to those who live near the beach. No matter where you live, the ocean has an impact on your life and you have an impact on it. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is proof that everyone is responsible and there IS something that EVERYONE can do.

Don’t just sit there slack jawed and wait for a lawsuit to plug the hole in the earth. Take action. Allow this horrific event to be that which woke us up enough to notice our materialistic habits wreaking havoc on our home.

Jason Mraz Talks Baseball And Music Matters

updated fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (June 3), discussing his baseball game on Wednesday and participating in the Music Matters conference in Hong Kong. The singer songwriter tells readers:

Last week I saddled over to Hong Kong to participate in the “Music Matters” conference. Much like South by Southwest meets TED, it’s the only conference of its kind in Asia – a place for anyone in the music industry to share ideas. Everyone from musicians to the most influential movers and shakers speak about their experiences for the purpose of sustaining the ever-evolving business of musical art.

It’s rare that I get the opportunity to share about my process and my intentions while on stage. Those opportunities are generally reserved for Blogs and interviews, so I was moved when Music Matters asked that I come and share my perspective while integrating songs into the set. Usually the story-to-song-ratio is reversed. But here there would be no “shut-up-and-sing” comments from the crowd. Here I would strut my conversation skills and tell stories about how I don’t really know what I’m doing.

A new video narrated by featuring never before seen footage with the singer songwriter. “When I first started touring, I spent so many nights alone,” Jason says in the video. “I’d so many things around the world by myself.

On this tour I got to bring everybody from my home and everyone from my community out for different places or the whole run.” Watch the feature via his YouTube channel below.
