A healthy connection or a clean break

would be ideal.  But you decided to put us on life support.  Arrrg...something tells me I'd be doing much better on my own.  I'll give it just a little more time...

Friends advice can be great sometimes. Other times, no one knows the situation better than you and other people's narrow view of the situation will only confuse your figuring.  And company can be great when you're bummed out sometimes but other times, you need to be alone to handle yourself.  I seem to do best when I don't get swept away in what other people are exuding.

(What could be) A Simple Goodbye

It's not a question

Of who ruined it

It is an answer:

This shoe doesn't fit

An attempt to explain what made Sublime so great

When I put on Sublime, it's because I want that "Sublime" mood.  It's care-free and entirely compassionate at once.  It has that serious sound of revolution at times and sometimes it was about "being drunk by noon (but that's ok.)"  They blended everything the better parts of California are about tastefully.  

Often, when white artists try to venture into black musical territory they sounded corny or contrived.  When Sublime did it, it felt right.  There could be a line about shooting a gat or a phrase with a Jamaican accent and you wouldn't question it.  This probably has to do with them  growing up in Long Beach, unafraid of cholos, thugs or what have you.  They were just one of the boys.  There was no racial divide.  

And, of course, there is something about Bradley's voice.  So direct and heartfelt. It seems he didn't have to jump to the notes he has singing, but rather they were just there, waiting to be sung.  I love looking at pictures of him singing because sometimes you can see that emotion all over his face and in his body. 

Bud and Eric were an awesome rhythm section that flowed naturally and never sounded boring.

There is music that I never get tired of, but not much.  Sublime is one of the few, along with The Beatles.  

Sublime reminds me of hopping on a skateboard and just going for it.  Going to a party and having a hell of a good time.  Letting my heart run free without being afraid of where it may go.  

All day

I've been smiling really big like one of those really dark happy African guys. Don't know why. Guess I don't need a reason

I would love to

Eat some fungus in Golden Gate Park. You know, get reaquainted with the essence. I'm feeling too goddamn TAME...

To Our Wandering Spirits:

Wishing I

Could expedite my exhibitions

Missing my

Trip across this wish list

Eating from

The Withered hand that feeds

Depleting some

To fulfill basic needs

Dreams bring

A definition to color

Seems things

In distance bring allure

But I am

Grateful for my 

Someday

"One day"s can be a

"Today"
