MY FIRST "FRIDAY FAMILY PORTRAIT" POST

GOTTA LOVE
YOKO ONO......
SHE HAS A YUMMY FLKR
WHO KNEW?!!

TRUE SMILES FROM THE HEART
PATCHWORK, FLORALS, HOODIES
MAKES ME MELT IN A DREAMY WAY

(John, Sean, and Yoko in Karuizawa)

WE DON'T NEED NO MORE TROUBLE..

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!

THE LAST SHOT, originally uploaded by CHERYL GEORGETTE.

This pic is from my trip in Laos... at a little village in the mountains... I love finding lost memories....from 2005!

HARDFEST NYC was a hell of a time....


RYE RYE DANCED SHIT UP.
She brought her love to the stage as well as showed off her skills to New York. Famous at 17, and still a superstar.

Theophilus London Rocked the MIC
Believe me, he is the now, and will continue to open some eyes.
The major disappointment was M.I.A.
Someone else was on stage with her singing all her songs,

The sound was all fucked up, (not really her fault)

AND she simply didn't bring it to the stage...

Die Antwoord and Ninja Sonik both made up for M.I.A's shitty performance.

WATCH THIS!!!!

THIS LIVE ALBUM IS SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE MOST AMAZIN RECORDS I OWN.

SUCH A LOVELY LADY,
BUT SUCH A SAD STORY.

TIME TO TAKE THE GOOD OLE BOSS TO COURT
MY PAST EMPLOYER HAS DENIED ME UNEMPLOYMENT

AND YOU BEST BE SHAMED UPON"

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born


"The apocalypse is now! Americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. Do you know how I see the world? Like a person who is dying. It's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. We must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. We need to dance with death. This world is dying, but very well. We will make a big, big enormous butterfly. You and I will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this."
~ ~ Alejandro Jodorowsky
