meet the BitchBoys
okay...I'm back on the davep-blog after a short-fucking-technological-SNAFU.
...just borrowed a fucking CD from Dawn: the BitchBoys "...in heat"
...the BitchBoys are the fucking greatest instrumental surf band to ever come out of Slovenia.
...the fucking greatest surf band in my cd player right at this moment in time.
...why don't you fucking find their CD or MP3 and fucking hear for yourself?
...you ever heard a surf version of the fucking Rolling Stone's "Paint it Black" with the "Theme from Dr. Zhivago" stuck right in the fucking middle?
...you will if you check out the fucking BitchBoys right now!
...fucking great.
...fucking BitchBoys.

book excerpt: "the karma of mid-life crisis"
"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?" -The Buddha
The following is an excerpt i noticed at www.thedailyenlightenment.com ...I haven't read the book yet, but this excerpt looks interesting...I might pick up a copy...-dp
"...So each of us has two forces at work inside us: an embryonic wisdom that wants to blossom from the depths of our being, and the imprisoning weight of our karma; an unconditioned awake presence that wants to connect fully with life, and our conditioned personality patterns that narrow our perception and keep us half-asleep. From birth to death, these two forces are always at work, and our lives hang in the balance. In youth, our green life energy is usually stronger than our habitual patterns. We are still flexible, our habits have not totally solidified, and we imagine that we can overcome any obstacles standing in our way. Yet every time we repeat a habitual reaction, we wear "grooves" in our psyche. By the time we reach old age, these grooves have themselves become inflexible, stuck, set in their ways.
Somewhere in midlife the weight of karmic accumulation starts to overpower our life force. Midlife crisis is the realization that time is running out and our karma is catching up with us. At that point, we can no longer just get by on our youthful energy. Unless we bring our larger intelligence and awareness to bear on our defensive postures, they will harden further, freezing us into a living rigor mortis. This cannot be emphasized too strongly: If we do nothing, our karma will bury us."

forthrightness and betrayal
forthrightness and betrayal
such beautiful opposites
doppelganger mirror vision
Alice's world in dreams
da Vinci written code works
alieves and belays
lovingkindness
away
forthrightness and betrayal
similar means, such dissimilar ends
honesty lacks much truthfulness' stake
dishonest actions hidden behind ego's sake
not written down it takes
nor speaking virtual land line of late
recorded deceptions
subtle perceptions
decieves
