"the onslaught of blossoms"

let the onslaught of blossoms
begin
booty calls in overalls
agave nectar thong
goes ba donk a donk dong
lips and hips
eyes and thighs
can you see what's on my mind?
doesn't happen all the time
but when it does
you know that it's for real
ain't no webcamiphone steal
just the blowing of the breeze
get a little walt whitman in your knees
i buried my beard under an orange tree
in ojai
in the cool of the evening
when everything is getting
kinda groovy
what's your name?
who's your daddy?
is he rich?
is he rich like me?
i've been sitting
in krishnamurti's chair
with the procreant urge of the world
you can hide beside me
maybe for awhile
and i won't tell no one
we'll be too busy dancing
too busy getting down
the perfumes of spring
olfactories sentimental
flowers of awareness
bloom the now
this present is a gift
wrapped up with a bow
and there's no place
that i'd rather be

"accordion lovesick blues"

well i met a girl
that i like
but she likes a guy
who plays the accordion

she's got big brown eyes
and the brightest smile
but she likes a guy
who plays the accordion

if we could only talk
in emoticons
i'd be frowning from morning
till night

you know i thought everything
was going alright
we were dancing
we were vibe-ing
sending texts and emails
and talking late on the phone

but when i went
to kiss her lips
she said she liked someone else

i really wish she would
paint me into her picture
but you can't hurry
what's not yet there

so now i just sleep around
and write songs to get me
through my days

i just wanna play her squeezebox
but she just wants to be friends

and to be completely honest
like i always am
that dude is pretty good
on the accordion

THE KITCHEN SYNC REVIVAL IS ONLINE!!!

after premiering in hollywood last friday nite, THE KITCHEN SYNC REVIVAL is now online.

www.thekitchensyncrevival.com

please enjoy!

THE KITCHEN SYNC REVIVAL IS. . .

inspired by the urgency of our times, a young filmmaker brings together a cast and crew of his friends and says, “hey kids, let’s put on a show!” this show is the kitchen sync revival. the kitchen sync revival follows the adventures of the young filmmaker and his friends as they struggle to put on a scripted 3 camera variety show called “the kitchen sync revival”. this show is a send up of timeless and timely entertainment from vaudeville, the golden age of cinema, sitcoms of the 1980’s and this morning’s headlines. this classic material is recycled and remixed into a refreshing romp and resold to a global audience of fellow kids ages 8-80, either seeing it for the first time. . . or for the first time in years. along the way they will encounter musical guests of myriad styles, guest stars from the contemporary counter-culture and surprising and controversial visitors from mainstream popular culture. through this experience they learn where we came from and where we might be able to go from here.

THE KITCHEN SYNC TRAILER

hello dear friends!

on this historic day, i wanted to contribute my own celebration of freedom, THE KITCHEN SYNC REVIVAL TRAILER!!!

on vimeo
www.vimeo.com/2895388

on youtube
www.youtube.com/watch
(make sure to click watch in HD, in the bottom right corner of the viewing screen.)

gettin the word out about da sync is gonna be a massive grass-roots and word of mouth campaign and if you feel like sharing this with your friends and co-workers, posting it on facebook and your blogs, and emailing it to everyone in your contact list, that would be dope.

if not that's totally cool as well. (though i may come to your home and ask you why! hehehe :>)

for more than two years i have been working on this show, and i am so excited to share it with you.

we will be premiering it next month in los angeles, and it will be available to watch online and on dvd afterwards.

thank you for the tremendous love and support you have given me over the years.

today everything changes.

blessings and hugs

"hot buttered rum remixed"

first and foremost, i am a poet.
my blood drips ink into tattered pocket notebooks.
and for 18 years many muses have whispered mystical songs.
but it's been awhile since i've written something i liked.
it's a process. a practice in persistence.
it builds up and you can feel it inside
until it's ready to go
until it's ready to flow . . .


"hot buttered rum remixed"

i'm cool as ice cream
and your hot like rum butter
let's get 2getha and read
"where did i come from?"

8bit to 16
this is a new genesis
in the beginning was the word
and it was good

but somewhere along the way
we got dizzy and disordered
flying on a rock
that is spinning through space

some people choose confusion
and just aren't very nice
their actions spoil others
spreading like frog afro lice

infected minds bite blind
sucking on some blood for cash
the rash of avarice itches
till it scabs from the scratch

but those lone wolf rhymes
are over
this is our moment
this is our time

it's up to us
to do it right
we are the ones
that we've been waitin for

mindbombin the bass
with an inner-face
that's underground and upgraded
with the rays of ra

we b livin from our hearts
and with integrity
cuz pachamama is in
the pangs of a pregnancy

the veil is being lifted
the doors are blowing open
forgotten rooms revealed
ancient secrets are unsealed

and in the whisper of the winds
and the dance of the trees
lies a rhythm unremembered
but it still can move your knees

it trickles down to your toes
and up into your hips
starts a tickle in your spine
electric finger tips

and you start to feel alright
and you smile at the scene
cuz you know the simple secret
that love is supreme
