Don't listen to Laddy GaGa when you're high...

Because at some point you might start getting into it, and the next day you'll wake up and have a horrible revelation that perhaps tens of millions of people spend most of their days getting high because that's the only explanation you can come up with for that woman's career. That and a hype machine so massive that nothing can escapes its orbit.

So where have I been? Well let me say I'm dead tired and being dead tired turns me into a fleshy mattress of hate so I ain't correcting or proof reading nothing! Around but not inspired to write. Lets face it the only person who reads this thing consistently doesn't live in the same country as most of us, and doesn't even speak to me. On the other hand lots of interesting things have been happening lately.

First of all there's this email I received today from one Trevon Fisher


How shrewd of Trevon to have guessed my love of not nudism in the plural, but a singular nudism. But it's not so much of a trick. Who doesn't love abstract nudism?

Then a few days ago two very interesting things happened. We went down to Miami and took a wrong turn. After ending up under and over pass we decided to get out and take some pictures. While milling around I noticed a rather expensive looking Chinese vase laying on its side on the rocks and part way into the ocean. I climbed down and pulled it out of the water to find all kinds of fancy sea shells inside as well as a bunch of bead necklaces and little statues of snakes and nautical things. Very odd.


A little later we beat it when some drunk teenagers showed up and starting fighting and made it to our original destination which was Virginia Key; a state park. I brought my shortwave radio with me because I wanted to see what I could pick up when I'm in a more secluded area amongst nature and not so many antennas. After taking a few pictures I finally settled down by the beach and pulled my radio out when it happened. Remember my long post about numbers stations? Well the whole thing is what drove me to get a shortwave radio, but up until then I hadn't found one. Well I sit down and literally the second station I pull up is this:



I made this little video when I got home so I would appreciate every one watching it.

So the rest of the week went on and I got a visit from an old friend, a reunion with an old band mate, and a lot of lounging under my belt. Then today we went to Bill Bag's State Park where I once again brought my camera and radio. I do have a lot of great pictures to post up so be patient.

The interesting thing about Bill Bag's is that it has an old lighthouse by the waters and you climb to the top and look out across the ocean.


My original plan was to climb to the top and whip out my radio, but about half up I discovered for the first time that I don't exactly like heights. The cast iron steps would sway a little when you walked up them, and all I could think about was crashing six stories down under a heap of metal. When I finally did reach the top I didn't dare pull out my precious radio if nothing for the fact that I kept thinking "God if I fall please kill me before I hit the ground!" So here's some math for you:

Lighthouses = Fuck You

The bright side is that my shortwave was jumping with world wide activity. I picked up stations from the Netherlands, Haiti, Cuba, France, the Middle East, and more. I even got the V2 numbers station again, and this time I brought my tape recorder with me. I was even lucky enough to capture the end of the broadcast, but found that a few minutes later the broadcast started playing again on a different frequency. I wonder if that's unusual. Spooky stuff.

That pretty much breaks down the more interesting parts of the last couple of weeks. I'll probably post another video of the V2. I'm also going to be working on some music with my old band mate, and beyond that it's life as usual. Well thank you all for reading this, and l hope you all keep sticking with me. My life has got to get more interesting sooner or later.

I got pretty wasted and tried to get Ed to do this at 3 o'clock in the morning.
