Sunday

Just getting my tea on as usual

I love the quote by DJ Sasha. Cafe, tea, cafe, tea and yes cafe is the harder drug. Life is a little more comforting waking up today. It’s Sunday; a great day really. I’m still living here at 10251 Johnson and I can say at this point it’s not really fresh anymore. I was smoking a Romeo y Juliet this morning in the sideyard , beginning, the day and was met with my Dad and stepmom’s typical polarity.

They really are rumblefish.

So, I woke up thinking today that I don’t really want to live in a conventional setting. That is a house or condo, but would prefer to live in a warehouse. I remember chillin with Takatoshi in some warehouses in New York and I loved it. It was something like the cover of that Orbital album featuring Halcyon + On + On.

The warehouse was set off in the distance against NYC in an industrial section of town with a liqour store convienetly located nearby. The city is in the distance but there you are smug in your own precinct protected from the masses. Creative precincts are amazing for artistic revelations. I remember an interview with Moby where the man said he lived in this abandoned warehouse in NYC I think it was where 2 people got killed in the builiding in one month alone. It’s interesting because I really look at Moby’s music as electronic pop. Not in it’s composition but just it’s juxtaposition in the music industry.

Overall, I like Moby’s music.

Sky Life

  When I say sky life, I mean blue sky life. 

  I’m inspired to live lounge these days, that is, when I leave the office after nine hours I’m ready to really chill out. Chill out is more than a sub-genre of electronic dance music, it’s actually a mood that was so common to antiquity but grows increasingly foreign to us moderns. It’s a luxury today in some ways, but for archaic peoples it was a way of life. Music as the bridge between the jiva and infinite brahman.

  I’ve been contemplating my lifeway in relation to the wisdom of the Vedas. Hindu philosophy from it’s beginning has always recognized the realness of class and and in some ways responsible for perpetuating for better or for worse. Today I’m living my life within the bounds of society as a means to introduce my own ideas of well being.

  I can’t change the entire world myself, but I can promote and influence well being for the peoples in my life. Actually I want to give you energy, I want to give you everything.

Peculiar Sound

  I was never able to see the movie ‘Drawing Restraint 9′ featuring Bjork but I am listening to the soundtrack. The music brings me back to the sound realm I was introduced to through San Francisco sound artist & my former music professor Roddy Schrock.  As a matter of fact now is a wonderful time to subscribe to his podcast, Fundamentally Soundcast. I like how he’s so attuned to fundamentals, maybe due to his time in Japan. The Japanese seem extremely fundamental in general.    Anyways, I’m re-orientating myself towards experimental (whatever that is) and click jazz, mainly through DJ Krush from Japan.  The last few weeks I’ve been listening to mainly alot of chill out, ambient, and jazzy San Francisco style house but I need something a little more strange for a return to my true aesthetic appreciations. Well being and sound are fundamental today.    I found a great site tonight, Jetnumbers, which will work with Skypein providing a number in Tel Aviv, Israel  so that Mor can call me from her פלאפון. Long distance relationships are becoming easier and easier!

Bottle Beverage – a personal habituated aesthetic

   I was walking to pick up 11 little cans of Pokka Jasmine Green Tea today and the virtues of bottled beverages appealed to me.   -B-R-E-A-K- I’m listening to Pole Folder’s – Zero Gold released on Bedrock maybe about a year ago. Amazing, Amazing Record… The synths are amazing, and it’s touching my soul.  Let’s get back to the program. So, When I departed to Israel this winter I traveled on a Greyhound bus to New York after dinner with Sayan. The bus ride was extremely warm and smug and we stopped off at a truck stop as a storm was approaching. Somehow, I found salvation in Vitamin Water. The flavored water with extremely clever modern marketing. I loved Vitamin Water and was happy to find it in Israel. Sadly, the marketing doesn’t reflect a genuine product as the is comprised of ungenerous amounts of fructose making it soda-like.   In Israel I discovered superior flavored waters. They have amazing Nana (mint-like) water with vitamins, as well as basic flavored water. It’s simple habitual consumptions like this that make me feel at home at a place. The main point is that the bottled flavored waters in United States are inferior to those of Israel. But, I have found this sweet jasmine green tea produced by Pokka and it’s amazing. But then again it’s Chinese in origin.
