DAMN... 6 months later and finally sumptin to say!

BUT PIRATES as a F/T JOB: Down around LGTown is a lil garage start-up called BayTSP. We can take any email address and tell u what kind of digital robbery you've performed. That is when the spiders are spidering and the crawlers are crawling.

Call of duty means I take the numbers and put it in .xls telling the studios where their bleeding profits due to the eDonkey riding pirates. Maybe we'll bust you next. We Are Always Watching ['cept when the shit don't work]

HOME ON THE RANGE: "Tène" is the newest addition to our home. A Border Collie / Austrailian Sheppard mix she's just too damn cute for her own good. Her name was supposed to be a play on the name - Rose - given by Sandy [her breeder]. See, we have a Tante "Rose Toes" down in Dana Point, so named because her 6' frame is grounded by feet with toes as long as most peoples' fingers ;-P
Well we couldn't keep the breeders name... and we couldn't call her Toes, so I thought we'd use the Dutch translation - Tenen. But I wanted to abbreviate it to Tene. Unfortunately the singular for toes is Teen. My bad. But in a funny - kinda - karmatic way; turns out the word Tene is used in Holland, AS THE NAME OF A LINE OF ADULT DIAPERS FOR INCONTINENT WOMEN!!! So since she still pisses all over the place... especially when overly excited, "Tène" is a perfect fit.

SUMMER MADNESS: We've hit the beach often so far. A conclave of Farnham Famlies made a trip to the group camping site at Sunset Beach. Excessive food, drink and merriment abounded. Highlighted by numerous board'g sessions including a Fri. night sunset ride and a Sun. morning Dawn Patrol outing. We just returned from a weekend beach rental stay at 25th and E. Cliff Dr. We were supposed to have only 8 guests but actually had upwards of 18. This outing was to give my cousin Sabina, her boyfriend Marcus and son Dirkie an initiation into Kalifornication... massive bonfire, a semi decent illegal fireworks display and more shore break - leading to near neck break - conditions made it a fun outing. Dirk is a Parker clone yet without the cuddliness. He did have a great time and I really hope that he fondly remembers the KaliKrew once he's back in Haarlem, NL. Props-n-shoutouts to mr. newmark as I scored DaKine abode deal off craigslist.org.

DIDDLE FOR THE MIDDLE: Road trip tomorrow for a Whine_Country weekend. Yes, we could taste fermented grapes along the Silverado Trail but we'll be taking Tene so I expect s bit-o-whining as we navigate the ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss turns that take us from Napa, through St. Helena, Callistoga and finally into Hidden Valley. We should feel right at home since I'm brining the trailer and camping out in Mamz driveway. Taking the bikez-N-boardz to hit up skate parks along the way...

HUMAN RACE: due up next, SJGrandPrickz. I'm baby sitting the Gordon Beirsch TEN, a sponsorship play i made for Ishikawa racing. Should be fun but at the sacrafice of my SoCal_Surfari. DTSJ vs. PV_RHE / DP / S'Clemente... ouch!

MOEZIE MOMENTS:

Dedicated to Louise Lorette Valdivia
December 25, 1909 - January 14, 2005

Glimpses from your past
- a brief memory
- the stories you told
- a life history

Unfolding deep truths
- as lessons for life
- sharing your past
- to teach us what's right

Reaching toward yesterday
- her eyes brightly glimmer
- to teach understanding
- so our lives would be clearer

"No sweeter the sound than of a baby crying"
- she once said to me
- revealing a wound time couldn't heal
- a lesson learned
- a young Mother's tragedy

So while places and names
- would alter each time
- I'd listen for unspoken lessons
- revealed between lines

A stern father, who rebuked her suitor
- not once, nor twice
- not three times
- unbelievably, once further

Together your love endured
- passing yes, another test
- four years of waiting
- providing one stories happy ending
- and many just begining

Banjewanji, Kalibaru
- Den Haag, Palo Alto
- chapter headings in your story
- were yet backdrops where your beauty
- kindess, caring and love
- glowed like a halo

At each stop, felt by all of us
- unconditional love
Our greatest gift now
- looks down from above.

Forever our hearts will remain true
- and the lessons you taught will serve us well
- through tears
- and of course laughter
- your stories we'll tell

Lieve MoezePoez, Rest in Peace!!!

Slammed this one out after a day spent with those we call the thumbtribe...

YOUNG MINDS SAY IT LIKE THEY'VE LIVED AN ETERNITY...
BUT TRUTH IS THIER ROAD AHEAD LOOKS LIKE AN ABSURDITY.

I SAY PROPS TO THE OLD SCHOOL
THEY DON'T CARE TO APPEAR COOL...
OUR FOCUS ON FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND SHARING.
THE KNOWLEDGE WE'VE GAINED IS HOW WE EXPRESS LOVE AND CARING.

YO... COMMON RAP CULTURE OF VIOLENCE AND WEALTH
LEADS ONLY TO THE DESTRUCTION OF FAMILIES AND SELF.
WHY IDOLIZE THUGS LIKE THE CRIPS AND THE BLOODS?
NORTENEOS - SURENUOS THAT TRAMPLE THE HOODS.
THEY LITTER OUR STREETS
WITH BULLET SHELLS, BODY BAGS AND GRIEF.

THE WEALTH THEY CREATE IS NOBODYS GAIN.
STOP - ACCESS, DON'T BUY INTO THAT GAME...
ONCE YOU DO - YOU LOOSE
SHAME MAKES YOU INSANE.

IN THE END ITS NOT ABOUT CARS, MONEY, STYLE AND POWER.
PAVE YOUR PATH IN A MANNER THAT LASTS MORE THAN AN HOUR.
CAUSE WHILE OUR MOVEMENT ACROSS EARTH IS MEASURED IN MILES
THE IMPACT ON OTHERS SHOULD BE WITNESSED IN SMILES.

VOTER APATHY IS WEIGHING DOWN FUTURE GENERATIONS.
GET COUNTED - ITS A PRIVLEDGE.
A DEBT TO PAY OUR SOLDIER DYING - LYING RIDGED.

POLITICIANS - SPECIAL INTERESTS...
VESTED SHARES BEING PAID OUT - ITS SIMPLY INCEST.

IF YOU DON'T VOTE - YA CANT' SHOUT OUT
CAUSE YOUR OPINION CARRIES NO CLOUT
ACTIVISM ISN'T A NOUN - TO BE A PLAYAH PUT YOUR VOTE DOWN

PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH...
PROTEST MIS-COUNTS DOWN IN PALM BEACH
HANGING CHAD - MICHAEL POWELL...
YOUR GOING DOWN NOW - WE'RE CALLING THE FOUL!

HIP HOP THE VOTE IN 2000 - OH FOUR
PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT...HELL NO!!! NO MORE!!!

this one's for my Gatito...

KNO-di-FLOW

Bouncin towards destiny,
Flowing like you and me.
Gonna ride out the times,
Bustin out mad tunes-n-rhyms.
Flowin like you and me,
Our lives - together
Lovin you for eternity.

We met when times was chill,
Neither of us on the backslide hill.
One pillow forevah,
Say it - you know.
Two lives combined,
Flowin - fo sho.

With mortages and family, needs of others empose responsibility.
Suprise reunions and found time are precious slices of devine.
But truthfully our sanity through unity too low priority - usually.
Must stop - regather. Expectations do really matter.

Cause its the flow we missin,
Dismiss all the bitchin.
Point our lives and carve the line,
where our lives join - intertwined.
Mad flow - smoothly free.
Lives swirling like leaves in tea.
Your love envelopes me in calm serenity.

Dropin then poke out
Grindin feind.
Pop - shove it - fake back in.
Inverted briefly then wipe out.
Luvin you is a sweet dream.

The lives you've directed,
Deaply affected - in fact resurected.
including mine - just in time.

So don't question your lift.
Good karma is pure.
Made healing your gift...
your love's my only cure.

Our flow is da kine.
Your stoke lifted mine.
Flowing like you and me.
Bouncin towards destiny.

Six Months Later...

i slammed this about the same time as my last post but nevah posted. must've been too busy keeping the buzz. check it.

SIX MONTHS TO GO:

TIME AND OPTIONS RUNNIN OUT FAST

GONNA LOSE IT ALL

GOTTA STOP LIVIN IN THE PAST

BLOGGIN HEALS THE DEBT MY SOUL DOES OWE

ANOTHA LIFE DIAGNOSED FATAL

ONLY SIX MONTHS TO GO

REALITY SINKS IN

NO MO NINE LIVES - ALL SPENT

ONLY SIX MONTH TO GO

A HOME AND A WIFE TO HONOR

A BRILLIANT SON AND A BEUTIFUL DAUGHTAH

BEING SOBER IS HARD

GOTTA NOT WANT THE GANGHA

MY LIFE STANDS IN THE BALANCE

ONE TOKE AND AND I'LL THROW

ALL MY EFFORTS GONE - UP IN SMOKE

ONLY SIX MONTHS TO GO

... the life diagnosed fatal was claimed three months earlier than expected. and at only age 45 was ended much sooner than proper. this blog is dedicated to my bro - johannes franciscus

and yes i have stayed sober six months. /EDJ

WTF....?

so another bout of insomnia prompts a random blog. no suprise here. its all part of the process - right?

the tedious thoughts pounding through my cranium include: squishing spiders, reviewing install steps with the umpteenth caller, remembering / changing passwords, more phreaking passwords, fiixng my relationships, healing, coping, succeeding and all while mourning yet another loss.

and then there's the painful reminder that all is not lost - yet. so much has been taken from me and it feels like much as been given by me yet the scales seem to never even out. positive economic indicators my ass. not that i'm crying... its been months since that's happend and then years and years before the aforementioned [and very brief] incident. thereapy - fuck. explain how am i supposed to feal better if i cry...? tbs imho.

but a sliver of a moon reminds me that even when it seems dark there is a bright light shining - albeit elsewhere. i can look fwd to SSP, ST on my SCMTB, daLane and getting a good grind on. thats the flow... when do i go?

i ask to expand my territory... gotta strong jones for the corp funded expense acct. road trip. processing new visuals/sounds/experiences always seems to help.

and if your still reading this... wassup with that?!?

HOOT!
