Hi friends.
Very happy to call you friends. Today's blog is on the radness of friends. I love being, making, letting go, and gathering friends. I have the best friends in the world. I used to think a best friend is limited to one or two peeps. No I say! You can have 50 best friends. You can be the miracle worker you already are and best friend the world. Could you imagine? Besties with everyone you meet, EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP TO YOU AS SUCKING! How can we do this you ask? Well this is my theory. Not the truth , just a theory. Treat everyone as if they were your best friend, or treat them how you would with your best friend. Understanding situations, and seeing how the world is showing up for them. For me right now my hands hurt. (Just went through wart removal, not ashamed or embarrassed about it)

Instead of walkin around with a scowl , I am choosing to be so stoked to get these things off. That the pain becomes pleasant, and the snooty girl at the coffee shop bar did not fuel my wounds, because I am not creating her as anything but a rad person at work, and of service to me. She even brought me my food because she was concerned for my hands.
These folks that show up to us as unfriendly, or difficult become your zen masters (as best friends do). These folks become opportunity to think about your current state with a different kind of love. Forgiveness and understanding . jason Mraz and Brett Dennen wrote a song and one of the lyrics is. "Forgiveness is the only kind of love there is!" Rad line right? Walk through life with forgiveness and see what happens. Worked for Jesus, and Gandhi! Please, I implore you to do so. Try these shoes on for a moment.
Reverend E. @ the East bay church in Oakland said, "you can slap my mamma! (and you better not slap my mamma) But I gotta love ya".
What are love songs REALLY about? Boy meets girl, girl falls for boy, Boy screws up, girl freaks, boy does something cool, girl forgives. Imagine if love songs were not so limiting to the universe , and boy meant all life, and girl meant co existence.
LOVE would be all there is. Is it not? Is there anything more we say then "I want love " or "I am love"? In my lil brain I think not.
well johnny cash is on the overhead, my tea is down to 1/4 full, and my Greek salad is now Tasmanian.
I leave you with this!
"True love will find you in the end, you'll find out just who was your friend. Don't be sad I know you will. True love will find you in the end!"~ Daniel Jonston

PS: Special shout to one of my besticles. MC Raz for winning 2 mother luvin Grammy's , Thats what I'm talkn bout. love you brotha

end just mean beginnings

Well the end of my 2nd trip to Australia has come to completion. I learned so much on this trip. Words like wanker, and root.... poltzy actually turned me on to those. Also, "Brown Eye" means butt hole. So it was really fun to sing my "brown" song.
Mozzies ate me up last night and my paw paw cream is aiding me nicely. This trip gave me visions of a move sometime in my life to this incredible island of dreams. I do truly love it here. I remembered a ton about the person I wish to create myself as. The leader that I am. The lover that I am. The kind of strength I wish to produce. I have this Tatt of be love. and it works, It has reminded me once again of what those words mean, and being out here has given me a chance to do just that.
I miss my friends already. Steve Potz (stevepoltz.com), tour manager Chris Modl, promoter Milan Crekjhflkb (cant spell his last name for the life of me)

these memories we receive as a gift from god. Memories with people I didn't know I didn't know. I can't wait to meet the next group of best friends. And to the ones I have not spoke with lately. I apologize. I still love you with all my heart, But experience pulls and we follow. We ride these ways of adventure together, even if we are not present to each other, we are present for each other in spirit, in love, and in understanding. Just tell me a good story, and i will even let you lie a bit to enhance the picture in my mind.

Life is all stories. weather you are in one, or hearing of one. that's all we are is a great tale of life and love and adventure. why waste time in argument, and un-committed love.

"Be love".... "what would love do?"

these sayings mean exactly what they say. nothing more , nothing less. Not to achieve something over another. but to be.

to your transformation i salute you .
you bunch of crazies, and lovers, and awesome mother fuckers....
