Yes please

Some day we'll find it...



this song was playing in the Coronado coffee shop when I stumbled in there at 5:56AM. It took me a moment to figure out why suddenly I felt so happy and calm and then I heard this song was faintly playing in the background and some how it made me want to tear good tears...

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." — Siddhārtha Gautama

Inner fashionista


Ah crap - realized too late the photo was small. Not sure why, but I LOVE this dress. Of course it's not for a woman with real boobs and hips but love it all the same.

voice of life


"They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming."
Herman Hesse - Siddhartha

What is there to complain about?




Sometimes there is bullshit that don’t work out

But when you’re happy like a fool – let it take over…

This feeling you cannot fight…

A good, good life…

Hard to be soft, tough to be tender...





(i) tremble... They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble... They're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart Beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer!

Help I'm alive; My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
Help I'm alive! My heart keeps beating like a hammer...
Beating like a hammer!

If we're still alive; My regrets are few.
If my life is mine; What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going.
I get whatever I need.
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still beating like a hammer...
Beating like a hammer!

Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer

Who you dying for?




It took me a long time to like her, and now I am so sad she left us with so little of her talent to enjoy. Entirely bums me out.

Just be cool...



Waiting in line 'Till your time
Ticking clock; Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Do you believe In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe In what you see
Motionless wheel. Nothing is real
Wasting my time In the waiting line

Do you believe in What you see

Nine to five - Living lies
Everyday, Stealing time

Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Do you believe In what you feel
It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

I’d shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
hide away for another day

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

No matter where you go - there you are...

Very Simple Green




This is a very local band who played at a gig/event I was at several weeks ago. It took me awhile to figure out that the vocalist was a ginger. He dedicated their last very 'groovy' (420 cloud) song to his mom who was there. Very awesome. I hope I can be a momma like that!

Two of a kind beats all tonight...








RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS: Universally Speaking


I saw your face: Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase, still, i so admire

bloodshot your smile, delicate and wild!
Forgive me, she was styled ... Rip right through me

Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I got her on my mind
Nothing better, the feeling is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow

Come on, baby,'cause theres no name for
Give it up and i got what i came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service...
Universally speaking
I win in the long run

I saw your crime - Dying to get high
Two of a kind beats all hands tonight!

Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I got her on my mind
All the better to make it is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow

Come on, baby, 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and i got what i came for
Universally speaking I
take it back and you make me nervous...
Nothing better than love and service...
Universally speaking
I win in the long run

Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I got her on my mind
Nothing better, the feeling is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow

Red Sonja



Learned something TRES INTERESANTE today... "Red Sonja" was birthed into life the same month and year I was conceived in my mothers womb.

Do we really think that was a coincidence?

Of course not!
