    Ain’t it funny how you
    fell -when you’re finding out
    its ral – god I love you
    I love you more
    Don’t move just be near
    me more.

    I haven’t known whats been
    going on since I pierced
    my ear – confusion so loud
    I could barely hear –
    Now I see establishment
    wearing gold like a status
    no longer mad at us –
    my hate has turned to
    hollow.

    The Quest

    Sir Face slowly reached
    for the chest. hidden
    in Allusiions, the quest
    had been hard – and he
    whad not had lunch in a
    long time. The key entereed
    the lock too quickly. A
    sense of paranoia struck
    him; not only his own
    fears but the fears seeming
    to pour out of the chest.
    As he reached behind
    the box to check for
    hidden passages (he realized
    that he checked
    the same areas that he personally
    hid his own goods) his
    hand was captured in a
    small cage – but he felt
    no fear. We had gone
    beyond that – the chest
    was his and he felt
    only love – and a strange
    sense of longing.
    The locks cliquied open.
    He ws in – and he (was)
    was happy, but Sir Face
    found the box empty.
    He reached into his own
    sack. The coins were
    cold – heartless and with
    out menaing. With dream
    like grace he deposited
    the gems into the
    chest only to see them
    fall threw the bottom
    into a strange, secret
    passage – A portal he
    always knew had existed
    but neve knkew exactly
    where to find. Hate
    was the last thing
    he was thinking of –
    he only wanted to make
    it threw the nite. And
    he knew he would.
    He knew he wood
    he knew it would
    resurface.

    Sir Face
    The Epic of Enlightenment.

    Fucking Alarm clock. Forced
    to work within the confines
    of Time; of course I am
    predestined to die. Showers
    are nice but boxed cages with
    sterilized water will never
    replace the grace of my
    aquatic birth.

    If everything I had planned worked
    my mind would not be destriyed by minesa
    I would be able to live as a I AM and
    honosty and in harmony with the powers
    that decide. I replace the covers and
    shrouding my body within the myth
    of who you see. Using clothing as a lever
    to precide me. Thrusting with a lever,
    giving nothing bu mirth.

    Looking down, toward the
    surface, I see what
    is right, what I am (truly).

  • Daily Qur’an Reading

    I am still reading about 10 lines from the Qur’an basically daily. I think I originally came to this to find the thread of extremism that scares me so much in today’s Muslim. But I also wanted to find the thread of love that Sahar finds in this faith. I think what I have actually found is something much more serious inside of me – some facets of my inability to take things seriously that is founded I my ego’s belief that I am smarter then everyone – hubris of the mind. a very hard thing to let go.

    Let’s talk the shifting narrator screams.

    Everything is Everything
    R. Crumb said that
    I say
    right is right
    no matter what anyone else
    MIGHT
    think.

    Things were really starting to
    happen – he was cranked up and
    geranding like a ravenous dog.
    “let the dead bury the dead” –
    as the dying were burying the
    dying – was all he was heard to
    scream as his brains started
    to slowly spill out of his head.

    Stupid ether freak blew his
    abdomn out wile fleeing the
    wasington nightmare –
    a suicidal maniac failure
    then tried by calling smothe and
    wesson a liar.

    “You give up stuff to get
    stuff” Rosane – the 80’s
    version of ‘Everything is
    everything” – the comunist
    financial twist currupts
    the ideal and brings the
    celebrity below the
    guru.

    “…If you should have
    trouble with an adult
    or teenager…” LAPD officer
    on child saftey – my generation –
    the generation of Teenagers
    has been abandoned to the
    streets and our little brothers
    have been brainwashed.

    If you have maximum
    surface area you will
    never sink.

    Animals suffering from the
    effects of diferistation must
    change their diet – and
    become extinct from eathing
    poisonous fruit.

    When I was young I always
    thought that I would grow
    up and suddenly become
    someone that I knew, idolized
    It always gives me a
    wierd feeling to realize that
    I have not and yet I
    am not dissatisfied.

    The USS Valdez docked
    in San Diego on the same
    day Pluto won the dog
    of the year Award.
    Pluto god of Death and
    basic unhappyness and in
    a country where Nero
    could be king that is
    a fairly large state of being
    When micky punches dis for free.

    There is an urgent need for
    a new camera angle in
    stock car film, the 1/4 mile
    is perfect.

    Sometimes one needs more than
    humour to get by, but
    no one ever said laughing
    was easy – it takes hard
    work – not the 9-5 kind
    but the Greek kind. The
    kind with ethical integrity
    that allows one to laugh
    when his thumbs are
    being crushed into his
    palms

    Avoid things that are “good
    for you because they build
    character” the smae way that
    the Jews avoided the
    plague. By nailing smelly
    shit onto your front door.

  • Concert Review :: Dishwalla – Irvine City Hall – 02005-09-18

    This was a super fun show. The musical highlight was a cover of Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds. This late period grunge band just has a lot of fun up on stage. The Irvine Housewives really went crazy for all the rock star antics. Jack and I spent most of the show either wrestling or smashing bubbles. Kate and I did get some dancing in, but I spent no time with Lisa who I think was mostly just hanging out with her sister Emmy, or perhaps falling in love with Rock and Roll all over again. Kerry decided that Dishwalla was her new favorite band, but would not get an autograph after the show. Jim, his wife, and Mitchell were there. Their neighbor, big UCLA fans, were also there – he does IM for FNIS so we talked a lot about that. I actually saw very little of the show, but as the sun was going down the band definitely moved into that magical jam space where all that they ever wanted was happening and the music was just flowing and everything was abosuletly perfect in the world. It is a amazing how I can laugh at a washed up band one minute & then have them complete blow my mind the next. I bought the most recent record and it is awesome. Very talented guys.

  • Concert Review :: Fenians – Irvine City Hall – 02005-09-26





    We got in around sound check. Band seemed to be in a good mood. Family was soundboard right. We played some bubbles and got the energy flowing. People started rolling in right when the music started. Man, lots of people were there – Mark & his wife Susan showed up late, Robin was there, Jim & his wife with Mitchell, Christie & Jason with Garret, Hailey, and the baby, Kirk and Lorena with their boys, Scott & Jenn were there with their three, but they sat over by Jennifer and her husband (and Cole and his sister), The Beucks were there. Man quite a crew.

    The music was tons of fun – there was a bad cover tease, Johnny Cash Ring of Fire cover, some fantastic Led Zepplin cover – lots of crazy irish Jamming.

    I saw David Harnick-Shapiro and his wife Beth on the way out. I met a guy Tim who had a teenage fan club tee shirt & we talked Paul Weller. Man it was a fun show.

    Jack and Kate were both very tired from the pool all day, so they required a lot of maintance which is always much harder on Lisa – but we still managed to get some pictures taken which I will try to move manana.

    This may have been the last show of the summer series, but it very well may have been the best.
