drowning

2008-11-27T23:47:00.000-08:00

On the evening of May 29, 1997, Buckley's band arrived by plane with the intent to join him in his Memphis studio to work on the newly written material. That same evening, Buckley went swimming in Wolf River Harbor, a tributary of the Mississippi River, while wearing boots, all of his clothing, and singing the chorus of the song "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. A roadie of Buckley's band, Keith Foti, remained ashore. After moving the radio and a guitar out of reach of the wake from a passing tugboat, Foti looked up to see that Buckley was gone. Despite a determined rescue effort that night, Buckley remained missing. On June 4, his body was spotted by a tourist on a riverboat and was brought ashore.

The night before his disappearance, Buckley excitedly told his girlfriend Joan Wasser that he believed he had found the cause of his dramatic moods, namely bipolar disorder. The autopsy to clarify the cause of Buckley's death confirmed that Buckley had taken no illegal drugs before his swim, and a drug overdose was ruled out as the cause of death. Soon afterward, a memorial service was held at St. Ann's Church; the same place where Buckley paid tribute to his father five years earlier. His body was cremated and his ashes interred at his estate. He was thirty years old.

still ill

2008-09-26T12:31:00.000-07:00

I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine - it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
No, we cannot cling to those dreams

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I don´t know....

Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...

Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body ?
I don´t know...

Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if I were you I really wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them
But not very often ...
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill ?
Oh ...
Oh, am I still ill ?
Oh ...

2008-09-19T16:04:00.013-07:00

The partial realization of a concept that's been bouncing around my head for a while.

You might recognize the voice of the sample I used for the intro (and outro). It's none other than Pat O'Brien of Access Hollywood. The ahhh suggestive content originates from the bootleg answering machine messages he left on some chicks phone from his well publicized whore mongering cocaine binge in 05. (how funny was that?!).

I cleaned it up, cut it up, sprinkled on a dash of simple delay and served it up just for this mix. Overt deviant indulgence never sounded so good, well... you know what I mean ;)

Hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making.

prodigal

2008-09-17T09:28:00.012-07:00

a young son leaves his father and squanders his inheritance. he becomes a lowly swine herder. after coming to his senses he returns home knowing that even if his father does disown him being one of his servants is still far better than feeding pigs. But when he returns home, his father greets him with open arms, and hardly gives him a chance to express his repentance; he kills a fatted calf to celebrate his return. The older brother becomes jealous at the favored treatment of his faithless brother and upset at the lack of reward for his own faithfulness. But the father responds:
Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Symptoms of Inner Peace

2008-09-09T18:07:00.000-07:00

A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experience
An unmistakable ability to enjoy the moment
A loss of interest in judging other people
A loss of interest in judging self
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others
An inability to worry (this is a very serious symptom!)
Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation
Frequent acts of smiling
An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen
An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

Jamaican's have a funny way of looking at things. I remember being around some folks who remarked on a girl wearing an anklet. The conversation turned biblical. "Anklets meant WOMEN OF THE NIGHT, prostitutes, heathens." As a teenager at the time, this affected me so much I never wore or bought an anklet. How silly.

Last week, I bought one!

TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE

All in all
He kept me human
With things like hopes and dreams
In a tizzy
In a state
Filled my head with garbage
Mother had sleepless nights
When he quit
They called a doctor
My eyes don’t work
They are like jokes
Or expired fruit.
Someone let the light in
Behold!
Solitude, a beauty
And a fright entwined
Where is the grief?
I am left a stone
He is left unlucky.

Hand Modelling – the future's in your hands!

2008-08-26T11:53:00.001-07:00

There are models who make a living from modelling their hands. Directors and photographers are looking for very specific things, and you'll need to look after your hands to make sure you get the job.

Sunscreen Every Day

Your hands get a lot of abuse. You use them every day for a huge variety of tasks and there's always the possibility that they may get damaged. If you are using your hands to earn money, you really need to look after them well, and have a daily routine that keeps them in the condition required for you to work.

Keep your skin looking clear and fresh, and protect your hands from the sun. Many of us only consider using sunscreen when the thermometer's rising, but our hands are exposed to the sun every day, whether it's hot or not. If you want to make a living from your hands, you will need to protect them with sunscreen every day.

Use plenty of moisturiser. Skin on your hands dries out quickly, so you need to moisturise regularly to ensure that the skin and nails stay in top condition.

Use a gentle scrub to exfoliate your skin. Choose one that's made from natural ingredients that will refresh your skin and keep it looking healthy.

Avoid Chores!

Here's the good news – if you're going to be a hand model, avoid washing up!

Your nails are important too. Have regular manicures to keep them neat. She may recommend wearing gloves as often as possible to protect skin and nails.

Good hand models can get a lot of work. If you think this aspect of modelling could be for you, find some agents who handle parts modelling and send in a couple of photographs.
