And yeah Man. (Know what Im saying?)

today, isaw a happy face.
It poked and proded my inside, my outside.

Dread feeds the hope of consequence,
They like you better when they dont know you at all.

happy faces upside down.

i see thru fog
my thoughts quick and keen.

some dash
some get dashed
a world filled with dashing dashers
dashing the dashed

Am i afro punk?
a punk with no afro
punkless afro.

i was talking about a face i saw, right?
I get lost in here sometimes,
enough head space only for you and your selves..Right?

About that face
the one that saw me too..
the one facing backwards behind me.

THE TRYING IS WORTH THE TRIALS.

SONG FROM HERE.


I WENT TO THE WATER, I LOOKED IN ITS COOL.
IN THE DISTANCE WAS A VELVET MOON,BEHIND GLASS SHIMMERING WITH DELIGHT.

I SAW MY FACE , IT WAS SLOWLY WARM AND IT LOOKED TO ME, LIKE IT HAD SEEN IT ALL.
BUT WHAT IS ALL IN THIS FINAL PLACE .

ISAW MY NFACE STARING BACK AT ME.
ASKING QUESTIONS , ASKING QUESTIONS....

THEY SAY WHO YOU KNOW DICTATES YOUR FATES PATH.

HOW MANY TIMES WILL I NAVIGATE THIS ROAD?
THE PATH THRU MY SOUL....I STILL GET LOST.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO FEEL AT EASE...
TO KILL THE FEAR, THAT IS KILLING ME?
I SEE MY FACE AND IT GETTING OLD..
TIRED OF SINGING A MUTED SONG.
I HAVE QUESTIONS
I AM CURIOUS..
I SEE YOUR FACE
THE MIRROR OF ME
AFRAID TO SMILE, AFRIAD TO SPEAK...
TO WRAPPED UP IN YOUR REFLECTION
TO NOTICE ME.

GIVE A MONKEY A BRAIN...


I went to see Fishbone @ The Independant In SAN FRAN, I havent seen them since they were on lolapoolooza (sp?)
In 93... They always put on a good show and i leave inspired...I hope they are doing their thing in 50 years..
Skankin out !
Some of the best bands are so underestimated. Fish bone has talent to spare and then some!

The fourth of July.


What is the significance of Freedom?
What does the word mean?
The relevance of freedom...
DO YOU FEEL FREE?

I MADE THE MOST SPINE TWISTINGLY WONDERFUL DISCOVERY TODAY.
I can add audio clips very easily to the "Bli-zog" and i am so thrilled. So the first two were test
of some kind. "Boy with a thorn in his side" By The Smiths. One of my favorite songs in the world, of which i have many. But nevertheles...Check out my version...Im sure the grammy folks wont be calling.
Speaking of The Smiths, do you know how hold I was when i figured out what Morrissey was singing about?
REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE REEL REEL REEL!

AMERICAN HERO SERIES: JACK JOHNSON

This is a stencil, I am using stencils lately.
They have an immediacy about, and utilitarian aspect that dissolves any pretense about fine touches.
I mean they are a quick way to deliver a message anywhere and in mass. The thing I don't appreciate about them is when they are used strictly for maximizing the profits from selling "Art" meant to be product, but is served up on a nice platter as sincere effort.
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

When I saw this


I saw this, and i thought about you America, what do you have to say for yourself?

Im not trying to be Poetic....


Dub Selector: Echo Chamber

absolute supreme way of pretending not to be resisting.
my revolt, is as nimble as drunk elephants
My revolt is underwhelmed
I consist of echoes and hide in the shadows

whose in control hear?

My ,my , my

We have issues and subscrtions are readily available,
back issues are a specialty

you make me sick, and i love you for that.

my resistance is a metaphor for circumstance...
its the fault of an objective reeking with hate

and at the edge of my finger blame takes a leap
landing at your stumbling feet..
my revolt is measured by theories, estimations, assumptions, libations
my revolt speaks ill of its ill- education ill, i-l ill Ian
my revolt wakes after long wars after short tedious disco naps
it is looking for a fight
not wanting confrontation
physically able to break even wind
emotionally so delicate it weeps for turbulence
potentially, willing to do the opposite of both.

But here is an updated version.
I worked on the space all day...The night was capped off when x arrived with x
vibes and fire-water...
We decided that a spontaneous street installation was in order....
