Two Saturdays ago, Michele and I went to the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of art to check out the documentary photo show Shaolin: Temple of Zen by Justin Guariglia. There was also a Kung Fu and Calligraphy demonstration by Shaolin monk Shi De Chao.

First he did a meditation set, then this Kung Fu set above. I didn’t catch the name of the set unfortunately, but we were told it is the basic set all the monks in the Shoalin temple learn early on.
Check out some photos from the show here on flickr, or see my vimeo page for two more videos, including the great Monk’s Spade set.
Alright! I’m going to go out there and VOTING FOR CHANGE this morning! Of course, that means I could be voting for McCain, or Hilary, or Romney, or Obama, or Huckabee (well, actually hell no).
The change all of these big party candidates are offering is like changing channels on the television, and what I am really looking for is more on the scale of turning off the TV and picking up a book, or better yet going outside.
Still, some of their messages are better than others, so hopefully this year we can at least make some change in which network we will all be watching. We will still get the same types of programs, the same major companies supporting them. Let’s say I want to vote for PBS… is there a candidate that fits that profile?
Not to overuse that crappy metaphor or anything.

…also Providence has the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, which to me is like having a beautiful shrine to a benevolent god right in the middle of town.
With views like this from downtown how can LA be all that bad? Plus, we got Pinks and In-N-Out.
Don’t get me started on the LA haters though… its a polarizing place. Seems people only love it or hate it.
If you look at that list another way.. LA is the best rated out of the big 3 cites (rated 7 on the Forbes list, not 3) above New York and Chicago. Didn’t see San Francisco on the list, so it must be rated higher.
-stopping LA boosterism now.
We’ve got some work to do… Providence is the 10th most miserable city in the country. Don’t worry LAers… you ranked number 3.
Medieval architecture joke, with apologies to MTTS (oh I am a big fan).

Soliloquy
I spent a bit of today recording this little song that features a hot new delay pedal that I recently got (Thanks Ethan!). Its two minutes and twenty-two seconds long. Listen to it with headphones if you can.
It will play in a new, needlessly large, window.
Comments are live, due to the lobbying efforts of Senator Tim. Now he owes me steak dinners and a trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Feel free to comment on that.
