  • Marcus Novak

    music seems to explain everything…;it is the metaphor with which it all begins and ends.

  • William Faulkner

    I belive that man will not merely endur: he will prevail. He is immortal, not becausehe alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.

  • Peter Schjeldahl

    The over-all effect suggests frenetic depression, mental energies dedicated to forfending thought.

  • Surah I

    Praise be to God , the lord of the worlds, the merciful, the compassionate, the ruler on the day of Judgment.
    You alone we serve, from you alone we seek our help.
    Lead us on the straight path, the path of those whom you have given grace, not on the path of those upon whom your wrath resets nor on the path of the lost.

    I deleted the setlist before I posted it – I lost the timings, raps, etc. This show was heavily mixed & ended with Ladd chanting the names of religions (“Buddhism, Islam, Judism, Christianity, Agnostics” etc)

  • Surfing :: 02005-07-13

    So, I had my best session yet at Bolsa Chica today. Wes and I paddled out for a 70 minute session. The surf was not all that good, but the water temperature was excellent & I am regaining a lot of my lost skills.

    There was a dad out with his kids – who I watched closely to learn what he was doing right.

    I need to work more on getting to my feet quickly – but other then that things are getting better…

  • Carl Jung

    People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

  • Jean-Francois Lyotard

    Being prepared to receive what thought is not prepared to think is what deserves the name of thinking.
