new to me

Well its almost Christmas and then a new year, so with that in mind I am thinking its time to start making plans. New band up and running, new business ventures, completing collage, more time on my motorcycle, more tattoo work, more travels and more time with those that matter. These are my goals.

bikes

I did my CHT today. I did ok but feel like it was all rushed. I looking forward to getting on the road legally. When I was a kid I loved the whole biker image and style. To be honest I still do. Take care.

create not hate

A friend once said to me that blogs were meant to be creative. I have to agree. The internet is just full of bullshit but our little part of it doesn't. Say something that matters its your voice so use it. Don't hate or wish harm. Live and let
live. Peace.

books...

....that, i won't say changed my life but more woke me up to things.

sometimes....

....you loose your way. it's all trial by error this thing isn't it? good luck i hope to see you soon, in this life or the next.

i had

i had this moment the other day where everything seemed to just fall into place. i understood things for a split second. where i was going, what i had to do and how i had to do it. now it's all gone though. i think it was this moment of clarity. the only problem was i didn't realise at the time and now it's gone. oh well life goes on.

life

life has a funny way of moving and shaking, its not something i understand in any wat shape or form. in days gone by it would have freaked me out and fucked with my mind more then i could have dealed with. now i dont think it would as much. we just have to keep on going anyway we can.

RZA

“Just as you must come through a woman’s womb to attain physical birth, so must you come through Wisdom to achieve mental birth. And like childbirth, Wisdom often comes with pain. Pain, joy, fear – all have borne in me wisdom, which, like water, is an ever flowing spring from a bottomless ocean, a flow of life that takes the shape of any vessel, that reveals itself in all bodies and all moments. For Wisdom is the Way.”

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them…”
Jack Kerouac.

Dancing squid bowl dish in Hakodate





This Japanese delicacy known as odori-don or “dancing squid rice bowl” is a variation on traditional squid sashimi and uses soy sauce to create the disturbing illusion of bringing a dead squid back to life.

Apparently the sodium in the soy causes neurons to fire, making the muscles twitch. The squid was completely motionless before the sauce was poured on and was definitely “dead at the time of serving”.

Stussy

when i was growing up Stussy was my favourite clothing label and the fact is i still love it. Shaun Stussy started off making surf boards and the clothing label came from that. he sold Stussy in about 96 to spend more time with his family but he's back! he's got a new label called sdouble and is shaping surfboards again. so its good news all round!

keep on moving your feet

New Travis Barker album.......SHIT HOT!!!!

my soundtrack?

There must be some truth in it, when people say music saved my life. I do get it. Music has certainly made my life better at times Im not sure it saved me but i think it has helped. Im doing this thing at the moment where I have to map my life out on a chart putting in all the positive things that have happened to me and all the negative also. Now it can be really tricky to remember everything thats happened to you but nothing brings a memory back like a song. I mean do you remember when you were 11 years old? No nor did I but when i hear "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News it comes flooding back! That track was on the soundtrack to the 1st Back to the Future movie. That movie made me want to be a skateboarder more then any other single thing in my entire life! So in some weird way the music is the memory. I can recall the 1st time i heard Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Public Enemy, Slayer, NWA, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, Warzone, Eric B and Rakim, Slick Rick, Suicidal Tendencies and the list goes on! I suppose what Im trying to say is music maps our life in both the good and bad times. Its our own soundtrack, lets try and make it an interesting one. Im off to run a bath while listening to the new Travis Barker album. Enjoy
