Holidays

Please let them end. Why is it so stressful to have to celebrate something that is suppose to bring peace and cheer and merriement? I am grateful that i got to watch my son enjoy eating wrapping paper. kids.

its been a very interesting fall with plenty of surf to go around.

this pic was from a fun day at a spot i go to a lot when the waves warrant some point break surfing.

i've surfed all over the world and still enjoy surfing close to home more than anywhere i have traveled. the question is where is home? when california was home, i never longed for waves in new england. oh well. new england is home and i get the best it offers and it is good.

other good news, jane's addiction is back together and i am pretty excited about it. they were the band i grew up listening to, the soundtrack of my high school early college years. Hopefully, like they did in the 80's they will bring back the feeling of watching art unfold in front of your eyes. sublime art.

http://www.youtube.com/ambersonian has some great footage of their most recent show.

september's silence

well, its here and we all look forward to it. Silence. Everyone is gone. the hordes have left for NY, CT, etc.

what it means to me more than any sense of relief is anticipation. I look forward to cape hurricane swell. And we are getting it.
















and





















So, get ready. should be could be fun.

art

i was recently introduced to art by a guy named abner harris


i love surreal landscapes and his are lush with life.


the intertwined energy we are all part of is visible in his paintings and they help me feel connected.


his work can be seen at http://www.abnerharris.com/

haven't surfed since

march 10th. thats a relatively long time. since then, i have had my first baby and dislocted my ac joint in my shoulder. i think the baby has kept me out of the water, not so much the shoulder.

looking at my baby fills the void that is usually filled by suring.


another blogger posted this music created in 1958. i am intrigued by things like this because to think that this was created then, and here i am thinking that things like this didn't exist until the 80's...
