Keep working, keep focused, and you can accomplish what you set out to do.

Proof:

Make that moon.

So, yeah. Keep on going. You can do it.

The ocean.

When was the last time you were at least ankle-deep in it?

Get in the ocean.

You should. And soon.

Remembering to rest is important.

Good dog, Lulu.

Do you know what today is? It's Brickday.

October 15th, 2010 by

It's October 15.

That means it's Brickday.

It's Brickday.

Look, it's Brickday at West Portal Station in San Francisco.

Brickday? Yes. Or Brick Day if you like.

Here is how to celebrate this glorious holiday:

1.) On October 15, call in sick to work.
2.) Get a brick.
3.) Take the brick to a bar during the day. Ideally the Stork Club in Oakland.
4.) Set the brick gently on the bar or table.
5.) Drink.

Read the full coverage and listen to the podcast over at The M-OceanView Journal.

And make Brickday your own.

On this Fuck You Friday, be the cat.

It's a Fuck You Friday.Yeah.

You know.

You know exactly where we're at.

It's a Fuck You Friday.

And on this Fuck You Friday, be like this cat.

FUCK YOU. I AM CAT.

Yes.

And fuck you.

It's a "Let's listen to the music of the band Quicksand" Saturday.

September 4th, 2010 by

Saturday. I love Saturdays.

Let's listen to the music of the band Quicksand.

Quicksand were an hardcore/post-hardcore mid-tempo jackhammer punk rock band out of New York City during the early 1990s.

When they moved with speed, their music careened high like a vapor trail above a grey city. When they moved methodically, their sound groaned and creaked like girders in a bridge above water or boards in a boat's deck.

Anthemic, teeth-bared music. Each melody and line is hard-bitten and hard-won. It is inspirational in its own grim and glorious way.

Here they are playing "Thorn In My Side" and "Brown Gargantuan" on The John Stewart Show in 1995. (Hilariously, they're followed by Elastica playing "Connection" on this video.) Let's listen:

Here they are playing "Head To Wall" (live) and "Omission" (soundcheck) during their 1993 tour with Rage Against The Machine.

Let it set.

Don't know where this is, but I'd like to.

Visit a beach as soon as you can.
