"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to." – Jim Jarmusch
Hello, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted something, and here I am alive and well. I’m laying down in my bed listening to some music and typing in to this cellular phone. I’ve been trying to keep up with everyone’s blogs, but the key word is trying.
So, hopefully I can get back in rhythm of posting, it must be the cold weather. (Hey, I have to blame something.)
a fixed penetrable gaze through symbols
Squiggly lines
That have meaning
Incomprehensible
It’s a state of mind refreshed
Blank restart
A passionate rendition
I fix my penetrable gaze through these symbols
and found myself looking at…
Squiggly lines
With no meaning
Passed through generations
Squiggly lines
That lose and gain כוכבית translations
Squiggly lines
With power to move masses
Squiggly lines
With no meaning
Fixed gaze by apes

There will come a time in your life when you will ask yourself a series of questions.
Am I happy with who I am?
Am I happy with the people around me?
Am I happy with what I’m doing?
Am I happy with the way my life is going?
Do I have a life or am I just living?
Do not let these questions strain or trouble you just point youself in the direction of your dreams find your strengh in the sound and make your transition.
Do not spend to much time thinking and not enough doing.
Did I try the hardest at any of my dreams?
Did I purposly let others discourage me when I knew I could?
Will I die never knowing what I could have been or could of done?
Do not let these doubts restrain of trouble you just point yourself in the direction of your dreams.
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.
There will be people who say you can’t – you will.
There will be people who say you dont mix this with that and you will say “watch me”.
There will be people who will say play it safe, thats to risky – you will take that chance and have no fear.
You wont let these questions restrain or trouble you.
You will point yourself in the direction of your dreams.
You will find the strength in the sound and make your transition.
For those who know its time to leave the house and go back to the field.
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.
In case anyone out there ever wants to know where the speech from Cliff Hanger comes from, it’s taken from the “Free Huey” rally by Kwame Toure.
The song Cliff Hanger has instantly become one of my favorites. The speech by Stokely Carmichael (a.k.a. Kwame Toure) appears on this video at 5:24, but I recommend you listen to the whole song, it’s a trip. A good one.
Here’s the video of the speech from the “Free Huey” rally. It start’s at 6:00. Which appears on Cliff Hanger.
The Pledge To Resist by Saul Williams, a one minute video, but very powerful words.

The Find Magazine is a collection of underground music from all corners of the world, collected by some guys in Netherlands. I’m digging the site, I already discovered KLIM beats from Ukraine, check it out, he’s got some dope ass beats, it reminds me of the late Nujabes, the music puts me in a zone perfect for meditation.
Here’s his bandcamp page, free albums for download, for limited time. But if it’s no longer free, it’s still at an affordable price.
