He's thirteen. And he's big. When he gets on the beach he becomes a spry puppy, rolling in the sand and scratching like a whale shedding barnacles. His favorite game is getting in the way and he is good at it. <br /><br />Zach was raised in a household in Dunedin and when the old lady (Zach's primary care giver) stepped out, the old guy didn't want him and the eighteen year old daughter didn't feel any need or responsibility welling up either. So now Zach lives on a permaculture homestead with Bob and tells sexist and racist jokes just to get a rise out of the German Tai Chi master who also lives there and spruces the place up with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikebana">Ikebana</a>. <br /><br />Also, through dream, Bob has discovered that Zach is short for Exactly.Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496164947379983648.post-70784137799270339742010-08-23T21:33:00.000-07:002010-08-23T22:24:51.419-07:00Let The Good Times Roll<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4vt_f5sOOkBqyI7BPEoB-KoZmD9QVEUWVsfR6D3ioLumRiTuFbVRxJByuh3UES1RsTk6o10PZsBKMdm-VcU8Ypw3VPFjEaiVAdeAeY4h1iXsP7EV0dXSNiCegVUpXEloGDgumpzLNU1CZ/s1600/IMG_2198%5B1%5D"><img style="display:block;

He who writes badly thinks badly. Confusedness in words can proceed from nothing but confusedness in the thoughts which gave rise to them. These things may be of trifling importance when the actors move in private life; but, when the happiness of millions of men is at stake, they are of importance not easily to be described." - William Cobbett, 200 years ago<br /><br /> <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2PdyiHyZgRa8eRKjiE4n2PqeV1eU1I1UewHnyPgGQTNsd_Y-tPTe4nFdbTTVzcZaXZLSWK1evsV9OntJg4Tc2fuxjVaB7aKKbZK8gDDRI5uu8hIhqSwr-wZyuqbF9i9TCaeOcXFpYGa6b/s1600/IMG_2141.JPG"><img style="display:block;

He's in his 70's and his sheep are about to be "lambin'". He said sure and I asked him how long he needed me. He said for a week or a fortnight. I chose the fortnight, because it was the first time in my life that I've ever had that option. When I hung up the phone and reported back in to the folks who helped me find some farm contacts they said stuff like "hey great" and "sure". I kinda just stuffed my hands in my pockets and tipped up on my toes a bit. Someone awkwardly asked what I was going to do for the rest of the day. Good question. It was at this point that I started discussing how paying 20 kiwi bucks to stay at the Globe Travellers was a bit steep. Stranger in a strange land. To my relief a woman volunteering at the Eco Centre said, "Eef yu cin't find a place yer can alwees stay at ours." I kindly thanked her and sincerely kept it in mind.<br /><br />Well, I went on about my day. Trying to meet people and talk, finding out what life is like at the bottom of the world. I hate to report that its a lot like the middle and top. Day to day stuff. Mystery deflated. That whole thing. So I went on about my business and a little before the Centre was to close I showed back up and started chatting with this kid Derrick who I had met yesterday. We had some coffee and honey and sat by the fire and I brought up the fact that I had been offered a place. (Just to let you know, the average cup of coffee in NZ, even in the remote/wilderness Southland is about 4 bucks.) Well, we figured out who it was who had offered me a place and tried to call. No answer. We decided to roll out around town for a tour and I'm glad we did. I was able to go up on some high coastal rocks and look south to Stewart Island and see some amazing Earth. I regret that my camera was dead. In a way I don't though. Ghost island off in the distance that were the homes of flightless birds, ocean pulling back towards a block of ice the size of the skull of an Earth, breaks and wave spray, seals and teenagers parked far away from the now-million-dollar-homes that line the way up. On our way back in we still hadn't contacted the woman who had offered me the place. We stopped and bought cat food. Then, low and behold, who was to cross the street going into one of 4 local bars, but the woman herself. Derrick said, "This is that thing. . . the uh, what do you call it, Syncro?" Yes, the Syncro is fine. I asked Derrick if he thought I would be safe and whether or not he thought this lady a cougar. He just kinda laughed and said, "Cougar. . . " and drove off. <br /><br />She was drunk and drove home using a side of the road that felt familiar, which was an odd feeling, to not be nervous in a car because it was in what felt like the correct lane but was actually in the very wrong lane. She stammered over her words and I just laughed to myself. I heard her say that I'd have to give her a few minutes, ten she said, to clean up. She stumbled inside. She could've taken ten years, this place was a wreck. I set my stuff down and fixed a cup of tea. Shit everywhere: yarn, cats, fire wood, magazines, stink, curtains, tools, books, photos. A tv and a radio were on. Kiwi TV is just like any TV anywhere else. We sat and talked, she fell asleep between sentences.<br /><br />I'll just say that when I woke in the middle of the night I was struck with a very real, very odd thought, and one that is creepily sticking with me. The thought was, "If a private residence has a sign on the bathroom door marking the toilet and some video gambling machines in it, then this is probably some type of odd speak-easy casino."<br /><br /><br />toilet<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg30jsapRxU86oJm9Mr6fIt7yDPKs1NW9q6_8uE7zebrGB3WaxVgiSdCuVeWcImWnEXBHxMWPkIiaRube3GVOtVnVhDDyhqS_OjLpfgOdXg1S72h0aj2TyWJCVaKO_3avd3PPnsqZFISg5/s1600/IMG_2082.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg30jsapRxU86oJm9Mr6fIt7yDPKs1NW9q6_8uE7zebrGB3WaxVgiSdCuVeWcImWnEXBHxMWPkIiaRube3GVOtVnVhDDyhqS_OjLpfgOdXg1S72h0aj2TyWJCVaKO_3avd3PPnsqZFISg5/s400/IMG_2082.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502423944309046258" /></a><br /><br />video poker<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmbPKMma-1nYcODWtj5IjlJXdjjDwhyphenhyphenbtEq3FG912lbcmgh5t96pSuKJvw6KqPPNN_putvwnXAObJN7ECD7zQJYA73hMvn2Ru8YLUorjOJbdJofP7NYbY8cxVlbJmAeDWyBxpaRWSzwJmk/s1600/IMG_2081.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmbPKMma-1nYcODWtj5IjlJXdjjDwhyphenhyphenbtEq3FG912lbcmgh5t96pSuKJvw6KqPPNN_putvwnXAObJN7ECD7zQJYA73hMvn2Ru8YLUorjOJbdJofP7NYbY8cxVlbJmAeDWyBxpaRWSzwJmk/s400/IMG_2081.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502423936656455602" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_-PvO7_oKI">tiger dreams</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlf7w-uPmLab9yGimeqtldhpwECmpj4KkvXJtBuw1DRsu_dzr1Ps8ulLRQS7-5qr_IQB_j37cRZ18uHVtCw4Fi8tiTphXCyU01SrCJBmmEKErS7OZlSd9fnuJK8jdRrGgMkKgFYnalbYlL/s1600/IMG_2084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlf7w-uPmLab9yGimeqtldhpwECmpj4KkvXJtBuw1DRsu_dzr1Ps8ulLRQS7-5qr_IQB_j37cRZ18uHVtCw4Fi8tiTphXCyU01SrCJBmmEKErS7OZlSd9fnuJK8jdRrGgMkKgFYnalbYlL/s400/IMG_2084.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502423946421930290" /></a><br /><br />house on the hill<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdJehpMuB1c4NvLZPAeKDCrwQZkw7txNy04_C_dWuf_ms3LzHGQRRQyeIDrs0_OFsAZ8E20jPMBKwZmr7kQhYLPpdvLBBqiTJQn8JbLshTCc7iORg-kda3d1ChzXN_AFspzSNCD_5JJki-/s1600/IMG_2079.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdJehpMuB1c4NvLZPAeKDCrwQZkw7txNy04_C_dWuf_ms3LzHGQRRQyeIDrs0_OFsAZ8E20jPMBKwZmr7kQhYLPpdvLBBqiTJQn8JbLshTCc7iORg-kda3d1ChzXN_AFspzSNCD_5JJki-/s400/IMG_2079.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502423927629619634" /></a><br /><br />(PS, there was a lovely orchard all around the place and this is just one example of one human surviving after the full gambit of life, love and loss had taken its toll.)<br /><br />Sweet bed, eh?

Now I sit on the edge/end of the world and look out at an estuary, I think the first estuary I've ever seen in my life. If I've seen an estuary before this, I just don't remember. If you saw an estuary with me, would you please e mail me? But this one. . . is beautiful. Now, there is a down side. It's being pumped full of poison every year because New Zealand is being turned into the breast of the world. Quote me. And the dairy farmers are using a chemical to grow grass for the cows to eat for the world to drink, and the chemical goes into the estuary. My idea for a solution? Stop it. I am here to strike fire into the hearts of Kiwi's and remind them that it's a-ok to keep your milk for your family. <a href="http://www.farmageddon.org/">Farmageddon</a> is right around the corner. . . http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif<br /><br />Also, a SYNCRO report. I wrote a song a few years ago called, "Mawson's Will: The Greatest Adventure Story Ever Told" based on the book "Mawson's Will: The Greatest Adventure Story Ever Told" that tells the story of Mawson, a 1911 clad Kiwi who tried to be the first to reach the South Pole but ended up killing his friends and eating their dogs. Well, take a look at the performance taking place in Riverton this Monday August the 9th (http://www.radarswebsite.com/). Hmm, guess who god likes? A lot. Yip.

Its 57 if you actually have to go every step of the way. I listened to No Country for Old Men on book on tape on the flight over. It came in handy for dealing with the scene seen above. An old English bloke looked at me and said, "'v been over this o'shin 28 times now and this is the biggest mess I've ever seen." I replied, "If it ain't, It'll do til the mess gets here." His wife wasn't so sure to make of the good ol' country boy in the customs line. Neither was customs. Word to the wise, keep your passports in good shape.<br /><br />After clouds and crackouts and being told to go to the "Chickin Disk" (Check-In Desk) I finally made it to the southern most tip of the south island of Kiwiland. JEEZ, talk about beautiful. The little propeller plane floated low over small houses, spread out, tin roofs and sheep and cattle. The airport was smaller than Constar. I asked a ride off the girl, Sarah Love, that I had been chattin with on the plane and she and her fam had no problem dropping me off at Sparky's hostel, which is actually closed due to a fight with city hall over something that I could never really wrap my head around, but I still slept there with the odd cast of characters that operates out of that joint. All I'm saying is, well, Sparky looked at me and said, "You're living in the now, aren't you?" Crackily, I replied, "You are too." <br /><br />Ah the crack outs. So far NZ is more of a food desert than the east side of the Jar. No joke. Non nutritional seems to be the soup du jour. On my way on a migrant bus today to look at an organic food co-op near here and talk with a guy whose obsessed with permaculture and tree grafting. Perfect.<br /><br />Oh, and Tim O'Donnell died. He was a 28 year old warrior in the Kiwi army who was training potential police forces (the same folks that the Pakastani PM is saying we haven't won and who Matt was saying we could only rent) in a northern Afghanistan provence. He was a Guard of Honer at Sir Ed's funeral. He was not a dumb jock. Makes me think that he was a target. New Zealand seems to be not so shocked, but I'm cracked, that the first Kiwi to die in the war on Tear Her did in the now. It is a lot to deal with if you think about what it means. I'll leave that up to you. <br /><br /><object id="BLOG_video-FAILED" class="BLOG_video_class" contentid="FAILED" height="266" width="320"></object>Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496164947379983648.post-31370690636251521592010-07-07T14:58:00.000-07:002010-07-07T15:19:39.718-07:00What?

Are you listening? To the outcry of the pitiful? To the tops of the lungs of the miners and the Marines? This dude I knew named Noah Pier died in Afghanistan. I didn't watch him get buried because it was at Arlington National and it was not a good weekend for me and I was busy and there were other things going on and this and that and chitty chat chat; (Kurt Vonnegut suggested that semi-colons are the hermaphrodites of the English language). . . I saw Robby Burns lay in the same room, J.T., Elizabeth, Kathleen, and Mike Robertson, all friends dead at an age younger I now know to be appropriate for death. I'm talking 15 to 18. Noah was 25, I guess. I stood in line with Bill Fehr and we viewed the body and the family and the family viewed us and we smiled and we cried and Bill and I jedi'd the Marines and we felt the heat of an IED burn us and we knew it meant that Noah's younger brothers would one day fight against these here evil doer's and all.Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496164947379983648.post-44817327288949416092010-03-01T20:52:00.000-08:002010-03-01T23:28:16.182-08:00The North American Hand-Built BIke Toon Festival<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgdXYxJc07ldmNMFzSgsRrNo2NtmJtVEK7IX0J9TZZ1VYEd5RYWFhTtll5mlThgfdp1aoGYhkHDyvHvEeG9Nd5KgsCLB-AAfQO9JIXE-Rvr1Zx1kiIgzLhpxkv-LwHDZ6kX4p2wP1nSnuh/s1600-h/IMG_1341.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Stay. Comfort.Soup,<br />You are cosmic. You, even in you furry form with limited vocabulary, are a being entitled to a fortune called Earth. Before Time began you were weaving yourself together as particles and elements, atoms and cells, and you joined the rest of us on this big ball of wax with awareness and love.<br /><br />When I noticed a slight slosh/slosh/bubble noise in the boys ears and observed him doing his best swimmers ear head flitters I knew that the changing seasons and air quality and grit smoke and city air was creating a waxy residue in his ears. <br /><br />I consulted an anatomy text that I have (<a href="http://whereonearthisbill.blogspot.com/2008/05/interview-with-more-than-performance.html">thanks Kristin</a>) and then consulted the inter-nerd for a diagram of the anatomy of a dog's ear and then I thought back to Bio2Advanced and discecting a cat and how Ms. Baily told us that cats, dogs, and humans anatomy's were pretty much spot on baring a few genetic differences and then I compared the diagram of a dogs ear to the diagram of the humans, felt confident that as lond as I was gentle and loving, Reiki level one, peace in my heart and acting out of total love than everything would be ok and I would perform the process without damaging sensitive inner ear parts of Soup.

If you've never tried ear candles, do. They are a great way to detox your ear holes and way better than jamming a Q-tip down at the wax which really just packs it in cannon ball style.

I was out in a Ford Explorer, explorin the far dark reaches of the Jar/QC/BAMA Capital/Vortex, and I was looking for a good time. Music anybody? Real, homemade, delicious wood block coin collecion music? I found it, and if my off-grid friend with the i-phone would relinquish his fear of the BBC findng him I would gladly share with this readership what we made. <br /><br />But what I saw twice was something way more ordinary than using paintbrushes and spray paint ans to make beats and sing spontanious folk music. What I saw is a staple of Americana, what I saw was delivery drivers. <br /><br />Two of my dear friends, after long work days, opted to call and have hot food delivered to their doors last night. At the first local I hear the delivery driver comment that she had "passed twoof our other drivers who were walkin' but there was nothing I could do for them, I dont have any gas to give em." Oh, but here's your pizza. <br /><br />My friends live 3 blocks from a pizza shop. <br /><br />Later, around midnight, my music cohort called to see if "the kitchen was still open" at a food-out-of-the-box Oriental restaurant. They were and I heard to routine switch to "do you deliver!?!?".<br /><br />Yes. America delivers. Pizza is always hot. Homes are warm. College is the best years of your life. Life is good. They all ring true, in that hollow, herion, one foot off of the bridge kind of way.<br /><br />I dont blame any of you. . . not even the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/">AI</a> GW.

It is the same t-shirt I am wearing in my photo ID on my passport. I have worn the shirt, which is lovingly known now as the "flight-shirt" on every overseas venture that has ever required that I sit calmly in an aluminum tube at 35,000 feet above the Earth. That Thursday I had gone to the airport to look at the ticket window prices of flights to Scandahoovia. My bags were packed and in the truck, flight-shirt freshly washed, I was sure I'd be flying that day. <br /><br />I can remember what the corner of Billy Graham Pkwy. and I-277 looked like that day, when what we said was the worst was collectively UNremembered as the rat race and feudal gas chase went on, with a tooth in the rear-view, gutted-gums and blood-residual, reminding all that to stop would be to catch up to the now, and there is no way to keep reliving the then when you are elated by the now. <br /><br />I lied down on the couch. Hurricane Ike was a catagory 2, or atleast reported as such by weather channels and news outlets that were "covering the storm" which I've learned is nothing more really than having the resources to stand at a removed position and leave 500 miles of sea wall searching with all its might for balance, hanging out in an abstract delusion, similar to watching the whole thing happen in the back of a wal-mart. I paid attention, however, and with each hours update I felt the wind knock my "verbal commitment" around in the bay. <br /><br />A random face from the commie mart and I had had a conversation a few days before. He was adament to want to know why I felt like leaving the United States for more peaceful ground was my outlook in the face of America's Great Push for Change. We talked and much of that conversation and those conversations are not up to me to recreate because what is said in them is usually the interwoven history of a nation, a newsreport and a person. Usually you just have to have a conversation like that to hear it. A day or so later, maybe just a few hours, he was calling me asking me if I had computer skills that I felt comfortable using; he asked if I wasn't doing anything more than nothing anyhow and if my name shouldn't be added to a list to go work to keep cellphone tower power running wherever it was needed post-seawall in the Gulf. I said there was no reason. Nine eleven, I'm laying on the couch in the flight shirt and the phone rings. "Yeah, it looks like Ike is gonna hit somewhere around Galveston, can you be on a flight in the morning?"<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ereSJOJbeo0OejHlKXi4Rg"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/jordymo/SNf9iiRx-KI/AAAAAAAAAOM/LKi5mEb1E6s/s144/IMG_0017.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/jordymo/TransferAmericana">Transfer Americana</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />I left without saying goodbye to most, save my parents and a few others who I routinely talk to. Seems that the world pushes in that direction. A collection of friends makes a good intermural team but a party of every affair is a notion of crab dip and crackers, merry flutes really, when it comes to making a transfer. Its going that has to be done, moving towards it. A goodybye window could last a lifetime for me. I'd rather be sleep-eyed in the shire than glassy-eyed in the data. Perhaps I'm just utterly sick of having to see the daily transfer Americana take all the time of those who inhabit the land. I'm pretty sure there are some in the capitalist volley now who aren't quite pulling the weight. I'm pretty sure that all we've got is right next to us, and theres nothing to worry about because we know where that is. Until the contract/combat requires a good man go dying. Perhaps more than anything that is what I'm saying, my utopia, my dreamy pace of peace is the creation of freedom from that one standing idol of America and Beyond: oh timepiece, 30 slices by the mad Einstein and you still seem relavant, your index finger like London fog bent always in the direction of another morning and its uncounted shills. Oh foggy window of winter, begging not like the love of a woman, but the love of the whole damn sleeping situation, the love of the bedroom, like the chair Mr. Picasso. Time your gears are wailing in the shifting wind. <br /><br />The landing gear retracted with a bang, the function of the bay door and its hydrolic cringe enough to steer the beast, like reaching for a water bottle in the cadence is enough to bring a rider down. The plane lunged, fish-tailed and looked for a jet stream to call home and the nose turned back up to the trembling atmosphere looking for anything but down. The runway was in sight and all on board had fixed an eye to its tarmac and lights. Flying into Ike, hurricne Dwight D. "Beware of the Military Industrial Complex" Eisenhower, was a pitch and roll. Too bad grit smokers and muffins in the morning, coffee and scones meet constricting arteries, meet squeezed gut juice, meet the feeling of force. Go ahead, tell it your favorite song. We circled Lafayette, LA looking to land and we took one more look at the lap dog laden swimming pool lay of the land. I mused aloud as to why my fellow pilot wouldn't just go ahead ad "90the bastard for god sakes". He kept it together.<br /><br />Laffy and beyond, a pickup at the pickup, closed I-10 and the case of LA. v. chaos. Rainsuits, brief diluge followed by sheering sun, back to rain with a Kraft cheese sandwich in between. Stage set for a convoy, generals aligned and on-line, orders refined as refineries power fell back towards its natural state, oil got to sit around as oil a second longer, the cattle of the beefline that feeds our bright nights and night clubs paused to consider its gladiator status before the corporate plan od aggression sent out a 5 mile truck line on a closed interstate hauling diesel fuel and generators towards a city under water, water for miles, acres and weeks to follow. I-10 was the high ground. We were waiting to deploy in the parking lot and I was out of the car. I got a phone call asking what I was doing, the cnvoy had left, we had to catch up. I was hitting 110 and 120m.p.h. and feeling the wind lower a shoulder into the side of the rental. The drive took all night. We were eventually flagged down by state troopers who checked papers and orders before we drove through the twisted metal scene of Houston. Early morning we say john boats being deployed to rescue people from 2nd story balconies of roadside motels, entire portions of roadway stopped, water running through in its new stream, smiling and filling, flowing. No power anywhere and thats a good thing because that which we call "wire" but is actually metal was hanging, open, like the tounges of so many serpants ready to expose the ankle in the bush to so much pure void power inside. The convoy had a hard time staying together, what with all the other living people in cars looking for answers in a way out, or a way in. It was every best man for himself as we flipped on the gps and left the guys in the red truck wandering. A line of traffic to get into the yard, a brief software debriefing, an immideate work assignment, only after having to verbally disarm the two refuelers who would not have weenies in a rental passing standstill traffic lest we be the yahoo professionals we said we were, the nerds who were going to run the computers for the entire show. George walkedin with his laptop, I sat and waited to park the car. When we arrive at the trailer we had to start plugging GEN-ID#'s into the system. The previous day we had had to network 7 computers onto 4 printers and link up a software. Dude, I really had been working 24+ hours. <br /><br />The army ain't lying or joking, if you want some long as well paid work it's out there and it's in a rodeo ring. The ATT trailer moved in. A small bucket setting of main street that would in the next few days turn into the bread line of the ranch dressing/jelly movers. More and more a pattern emerged and in it I found ownership. I took an office that was a folding table in the last 5 feet of a horse trailer and I mved the table next to the wall, I set up another table and I seperated the workstations so we could use the acoustics in the metal to work for us, I labeled files and I taped down wires so they wouldn'tbe tripped on, I walked into the big boss room to clarify, I asked for things, I walked across the street and asked ATT why I couldn't hear on the phone and they were a global communications giant. I wrote important numbers on the board, established protocall that we "were the last call." Before I knew it rookie energy bounced and a kid who had previousy been using a gluestick was using software. Holy shit, I did work 96 hours. More rookies showed up, in times of quiet we gained understanding of who one another was, the musi we liked, the desire and longing for real instruments, stories of dropping everything and following a goal. The calls would be flooding in by mid-day, and the office war room was ready. <br /><br />Im not sure how to piece things out. Finding a 24-hour donut shop in Pasadena with a 283 and her father running the place was a light twist of peace with glaze. I was an atom sharing my energy with the unlikliest of elements, though its usually not up to the atom, eh? So just laugh along the way. Life, actual life itself, is good. The "life is good life" lasts as long as the flavor of ranch dressing being sucked through a t-shirt.Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496164947379983648.post-32873333013744382192008-09-23T09:24:00.000-07:002008-09-23T09:39:01.855-07:00Whats the problem?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi901fdikItnqoULO08hM7O4TFEW3Yb2aETAWnPvsB5icJAAV7Gpqk0tHGZWv3l9rYXJSlajZYLiyQiOin-5GKn53arBtAOeIQD51YgO2b5tCi8yM6aDbL95YHzXX78_qZiKFPc8VvwMPWn/s1600-h/oil"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi901fdikItnqoULO08hM7O4TFEW3Yb2aETAWnPvsB5icJAAV7Gpqk0tHGZWv3l9rYXJSlajZYLiyQiOin-5GKn53arBtAOeIQD51YgO2b5tCi8yM6aDbL95YHzXX78_qZiKFPc8VvwMPWn/s400/oil" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249253816687542834" /></a><br /><br />There are verbal reports already rolling in that gas is unavailable at the aptly named gas stations. Oh well. We saw this one coming in 05, the year of the very cool. I just returned from a 9-day spy novel that took place in the heart of Texas. I was nothing more than an organc router with 10 voices in my head at all times for sometimes 11-hour shifts. It was a war zone. It was a contract. <br /><br />Stepping away from it has left in need of rest and healing. The truth will do that. As I run into people and I tell them what Ive seen, where Ive been, I get one line out of everyone that is the same: "Why don't we hear about this?" <br /><br />I am trying to get the story down. I slept 26 out of the first 48 hours I was home. I looked in the mirror and saw myself in my late 30's, not20's, so I've been keping my mind from going back to the actual reliving. I can't imagine what so many people around the world are daily processing at reality, while in America our reality is far removed from the concept of real. They are connected. That which is pulled out of the ground and used to transport that which will replace it will not last.

<br />Many people will not be sleeping inside in south Texas tonight. <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=bridge+city&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=title">Bridge City</a> is gone. Just there no more. Dogs, cats... birds prolly made it out. In response, and in order to keep life good, ATT got to work getting its cell towers back online. The effort includes nothing more than more gallons of diesel fuel per second than any of us math wizards could compute. I signed on. I've promoted myself to middle management. I'm doing data analysis. Im cracked out.
<br />
<br />I cant believe that ATT will rest its head on its pillow again tonight. Were staged in a rodeo yard in Pasadena, between Houston and Galveston. I haven't been able to get out of this horse trailer turned mobile office under satellite to go tour the damaged areas, but the shots are rolling in from the diesel duel wheel well truck driving dudes. Its crushed. The news may say Galveston is bad, and it is, but search east for real damage. You just dont hear of it because its a little further away from ATT Houston HQ.
<br />
<br />The air in this diesel yard is unreal. The first day here my face went numb. My #2 chakra is sending messages of worry. My inner body transfer is way off. Food is provided by cans and cans, dummy meat and nothing. Here, these cheese nips should do. Ive been eating a lot of grapes. The sewage backflowed out of the high school football stadium locker room. People love Ranch dressing here. Its served with every meal. The police presence is amazing. Tanning is half off. Drive thrus are packed. Apocalypse Later, indeed.

I asked the question with conviction; convicted of my space, form, shape, breath, love. I asked knowing where I was. <br />"Yes, I need to eat something," came the response from across the table.<br />Tourist trap steak house full of direct hits to the guts and tits and more burger than you could shake an angry, Yankee glance at. Men at the heads of tables and heads all around gap jawwed and open, making the air frequency go "yeeeeehhhhhhuuuuuuueeeeeehahahahahuuuuhhhheeeeehhhhuuu"/the noise our species creates. You know its bad when I tell my mom that Im gonna have a hard time holding it together and her response is, "Well, you better, these are some fat, angry people." I've never seen my mom, whose a fantastic water colorist, as a Ralph Steadman, but at that moment her humor shone through and actively creeped me out. She was right, if I lost it 50 heros would take me out, beat me to within an inch of my life is good and leave me on the filthy rubber mats out by the dumpsters.<br /><br />God, beach trips are amazing.<br /><br />A day later, today, it clicked for my mom and she laughed when she realized i was giving her the opportunity to walk away and not eat the hush pups and baked p's. It was all shit. T total crapola trucked in by a trucker and cooked by a cook. Served by a server and eaten by... eaters?<br /><br />What the hell are we kidding ourselves for? These titles mean shit. Shit except a ribbon and a concept, more judgement of who you are. What could you possibly mean?<br /><br />I stood on my head and watched the cloudscape be sea and sea be sky, my oh my how funny it is and was to see you and him drip from below but above this and fall out in form for a moment your form, slip a laugh through your lips slip a ship through the storm slip a thorn in the skin slip again and again. <br /><br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dEbgCclwvio&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dEbgCclwvio&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496164947379983648.post-81174528796956359532008-07-24T11:35:00.000-07:002008-07-24T12:03:07.041-07:00"Out here in the west were still free..."The above header image is the art work of Jack Unruh and is currently in <a href="http://www.motherjones.com//commentary/ps/2008/07/ps-wilderness-yellowstone-circa-2011.html">Mother Jones</a> magazine. <br /><br /><br />The road leading into Yellow Stone National Parking Lot from Cody, Wyoming is amazing. Steep mountain walls along both sides lines with running water, green trees and brown bears. I saw it with my own eyes and smelled it with my own nose and was in it in the middle of nowhere in the least populated state in the Union of them. Little did I know what lurked just behind the east gate of the martnini-shaped super volcano, waiting there to remind me of exactly where I was and what I was in. Wonderous nature? Serene scenery and Earthly vibrations? Mystery of life and rain? Try "red tape".<br /><br />We waited in a long line of cars at the toll entrance booth and when it was our turn to cram thru the turnstile I took it upon myself to explain, "Hey, I'm on bike, this is how im traveling, I'm not responsible for road damage in the park or pollution or any of the other "reasons" that the federal's are insisting that I pay a fee and an extra tax to view nature in the country in which I'm a citizen. I don't think I should have to pay." No dice, something like 20 bucks a head for both of us on bicycles since they were two seperate vehicles. I was also reminded that that fee did not include the camping charge, and that there was no camping in the park other than in designated camp areas, aka, gigantic pields of suburban style street layout with no McToonHomes but empty lots instead anticipating the weekly/daily/hourly arrival of gigantic RV's which are a very popular way to "see the west" for many in this nation. <br /><br />Money paid, argument lost, temper kept in check, lets move on. What's this, a line of dead still rush-hour traffic? Wasn't I just in the middle of nowhere? Huh? We'll have to load our bikes in a work truck and be transported for seven miles across gravel construction? Seven miles, five years, five million dollars. Thats what it takes to pave a road in Yellowstone. A woman with a radio is ordering us to get off the biks and put them in the truck. We do and I go to get in the back, it's a s-10 and she has a broken arm, K is with me and I figure Ill just take it easy in the bed and glance around at the view. Illegal. I, a grown man, can't decide to ride in the bed of a pick-up if I choose too. Instead I'm to squeeze into the cab and ride the seven bumpy miles engaged in a bitter argument with the woman driving and working for said quagmire construction project about whether bicycles should be allowed in the park at all. Another fellow is the one who informed me of the illegal nature of my desire to ride in the bed and when I retorted with, "You can buy beer from a drive-thru on a four wheeler but you cant ride in the bed of a truck in this state?" he said, "Out here in the west were still free." He looked at me like he was free and I was not. He seemed to imply that I was just visiting freedom and one day would hang its north face labeled threads from the hook on my guest room closet door and simply remember through the photos of a disposable camera freedom and when I had seen it. <br /><br />"Youre free from everything except the tourist dollar," is what I said back to that. And then I got in the truck, got transported and dropped off seven miles in the park. Wonder and amazement coupled with the most traffic I'd seen since Rapid City. Multiple honks and verbal commands to get out of the road. Being passed by macho male white life is good vacationers in RVs called "The Rambler" and "Wild Explorer" and other such names of non realistic views. Passed on roads with no shoulders. Passed closer than a city bus. <br /><br />Oh, where the buffalo roam.Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496164947379983648.post-25904544778687357062008-07-03T15:38:00.001-07:002008-07-03T15:41:16.960-07:00Bo White's Rebel Force, "Pedro" Live @ HeckYeahCoffeeHub<div class="utterz-entry"><div class="utterz-audio"><object width="320" height="35"><param name="movie" value="http://www.utterz.com/fp/slimline.swf?1214399396" /><param name="flashvars" value="utt_id=NTEwNjUyNA&autoplay=0&wu=NDk2NDYzMw" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.utterz.com/fp/slimline.swf?1214399396" flashvars="utt_id=NTEwNjUyNA&autoplay=0&wu=NDk2NDYzMw" width="320" height="35" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /></object>

<br />Really, YardWork, the regional, national, global and universal implications of your sounds and styles and sets are clear, and fun.

<br />The first time I heard this song was on a Friday night at <a href="http://www.lunchboxrecords.com/">Lunchbox Records</a>. I "had" to work the next day at the corner of Cool & Cool. I applied the philosophy later that Saturday afternoon by telling my "boss" and "manager" that I did not want to work again the next day, Sunday, Easter. <a href="http://whereonearthisbill.blogspot.com/2008/03/more-easter-pictures-dont-look-for-any.html">I wanted to go ride my mountain bike with Billy and The Slim Rookie My Brother and Swammi and whoever that kick ass old dude was who rides with Swammi.</a> I was told the it was "Easter" and "there will be a two hour wait" (I was working as the bitch of a reataurant at the time so that meant i was to "host" the Easter brunch-goers) and that "the entire staff" had been called in to work this one. Not one to overlook logic I immideatly realized that things would be fine if the whole staff would be there. I also realized it was my last day at "work" there and that I would be celebrating my own holiness and all of everyones by being outside where I could see the Sun(son).
<br />
<br />That feeling, sitting there knowing, knowing I'm walking away and being ok, whole and happy, available and present is a glorious one. It is in us all. I talk to people who dont understand it and I try to help them see that they won't. There is no way to approach anything that is an illusion from a logical standpoint or approach feelings of fear or guilt from a holy standpoint. And that letting go is as easy as admitting that you know... you know you know.

<br />Play this tune a few times and e mail the guys from YardWork and tell them you want a CD. Because you do.

Out the backyard, down the hill, across the 485 bridge, just over it cut across field into neighborhood, down/up hill, into woods single track, tons of technical work out at the Indian Rock, jumps, cut onto sewer path, get a response to my question as i see a white tail deer, cross a creek, get into the thick of it, following deer path, running between 485 and BallanToon golf course, get into the thick of it with thorns, think about ticks, think about how thistle is an invasive species and its everywhere, lay bike down, go look at traffic flying by on 485 in gas bubblers, disappear like a yeti back into the woods, jump out onto golf course, see a huge no trespassing sign, get off as fast as i can, come out on a office complex under construction road, see a huge dirt berm made to look and feel like pump track, ride until im coughing up dust, laugh about how i used to do this here when i was 11 and it was all woods. oh well. later chased down a roadie in the bike lane and passed him tucked into a downhill roll. he fought back on the climb and i stuck to his wheel. i took a right into the thick of it car style and he kept going.<br /><br />When I saw the barrel i couldnt help but think of the phrase price per barrel and then over the barrel. I cant help but connect the two as i look closely at what it is daily costing America to keep its moods and modes.Jordyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091720112071502221noreply@blogger.com2
