Take the red pill and grow a pair

“…there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment…”-JFK on 9/11

A new song dedicated to JFK and all the people that give a shit about what’s going on here and around the world.  I can only hope that more people will wake up and see this reality for what it is:

A controlled hell orchestrated by the ruling elite banking families.  Merchants of death in a monolithic conspiracy to turn us into defenseless worshipers and worse…

The end of this song includes a speech by JFK… perhaps the most important speech in our history.

PS.  Give your children’s children a chance and take the red pill.

In the corporate owned media landscape there is little room for reporters to bring you, the people, the true story.  Leave it to a little gay man to step up to the plate with some truth.  {Side Note:  Anderson Cooper is the son of the designer (and “heiress” to a shipping fortune) Gloria Vanderbilt.}

Afghanistan, Obama, Real Change and a big F you.

So here we are…the first black president…”hope”, “change”, “yes we can”…and what?  I use to hear conservative republicans talking their shit and it would get me upset.  They would talk about minorities and just spewed that venom that they mask under “patriotism”, but  in reality is just racism and classism speaking.  Then I thought about Democrats and their operation.  My conclusion is that the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is at face value:  Look deeper and they’re just 2 turds swimming in the same toilet.

A lot of people in this country, tired of the BS of the “Dubya” era, got caught in the “hope” of this new guy.  This black, well spoken person with a weird name that wrote a book that inspired many and made people think about shit.  He went on Oprah and made an impact on the Oprah crowd.  He declared his run for the presidency in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a divided house to stand together, and began his run for what many people in the middle and upper classes probably thought was just another circus show.  Of course, just like any other story that’s too good to be true all that talk and chatter leads us back to where we started: War, Debt and the ruling classes flippin you the bird.

What the fuck is wrong with people now a days?  Do you really think that we’ve come a long way from the days of segregation and the bullshit white people and the elite subjected minorities to?  There answer is NO.  40+ years and any progress that was made was made because the lower classes had enough of the bs and marched behind the brave individuals that stood up, struggled, and died for real change; not because the filthy minds of the owners had any type of fucking break through or shit like that.   I called BS when Obama started his run for president and I did so because I know that people in the US are fed story lines.  People here follow the crowd, and the crowd follows whatever the fuck the media says is “true”.  Obama is the next marketing campaign, the next story you will follow, the 44th puppet.

Look, remember all the changes that the Obama admin. promised?  One of the major promises included the end of the war in Afghanistan with some estimation of the last day of combat opps.  Fast forward; 2010, June.  Headline:  “U.S identifies Vast Mineral Riches in Afghanistan.”  $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits.  See that there, that word, UNTAPPED.  That’s the key word behind any war that we have seen and will see.  You see, now Obama’s position on the exit from this war is “I don’t have a Crystal Ball.”  Sounds about right…change you can count on!!

Recap:

A.)  9/11:  The final piece and spark that made it “OK” to invade the middle east (they had been making the case for war years prior to this though…)
B.)  Afghanistan:  Fuck you part 1
C.)  Iraq:  WMD’s, “Freedom” for Iraqui people, Pipe line to the Caspian sea, mass murder on both ends of the trenches.
D.) Afghanistan:  Fuck you part 2
E.) Time for Change! :) Yay!  Change !!!  Black guy can be president yay!!!
F.) Fuck you, War continues, you suck, lose your job/house/business and the banks get the bail outs.

They created a master piece of a campaign to shut you the fuck up (if you even cared at all).  They told you what you needed to hear and brought “CHANGE” in to your life.  Of course they went on to bail out banks and left you to drown, and why?,  because FUCK YOU, THAT’S WHY.  Your family, your life, your history is nothing to these people.  They don’t give a fuck about you or what you have to offer.  Maybe you’re poor, maybe you have money in the bank, perhaps you believe in Jesus or Buddha or Allah or Vishnu or Nothing or the Sun or prophet x,y,z.  You’re a “good person”, you’re a “bad person”, you’re educated, you’re a company man, you’re whatever you are and live however you live in a world where everyone is so “different” from each other and reality is what you perceive it to be and anything else is just fucking dumb to you…AND STILL YOU ARE JUST AN EATER TO THEM.  A consumer that will DIE soon, so again, fuck you.

The more things “change”, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME.

a TRAP BY ALL.

Have a great day!  Thank you and Good Morning.

Thoughts like lightning

Sometimes I just want to throw up.  I have never felt so connected to my existence as I have in the past 4 months.  A heightened sense of awareness of the person striking the keys making the words that you are reading right now.  I  close my eyes and  create a space where I place all of the people in my life.  I don’t have to “think” about each person, I just know that they are all there.  I look around and random faces pop out of the crowd.  They have all impacted my life in some way.  The experiences that have become history shaped the person that I was, but that person was not ME.  Awareness.  I am in bloom right now.  I found that loose thread in my life and I have unraveled a significant part of it, but I’m just beginning.
It’s hard not to express the pessimistic thoughts that cloud the vast landscape that I see; the world.
A picture frame hangs over this computer monitor, ” We Love You Janet”.
Her expression looking out the balcony of the Irvine apartments.  It was a party, it was night out, it was the look of  8,000 lbs.
A moth.  A white month. A white moth gently, repeatedly, tapping  the passenger side window of the green rav 4.  The view from the back seat…she looks up at it shinning under the lights of the gas station.  I see her looking at the moth.   I look at the moth.  Silence.  Hers was the look of infinite weight.
A phone rings.  Sleep.  Dreams shift.  RING….RING…Dreams perceive, dreams deceive, I see her smiling at me like a sister would.  Gold light and white clouds.  Her face in light, up and away.  She’s going to be OK. RING….RING…RING….RING…Awake.  I’m awake now.
I don’t want to answer.  I already know.

Sometimes

Sometimes we just need a small reminder

Sometimes life gets you down, you put on blinders

But there comes a time when you will have to choose:

Turn your life around or Keep singing them blues.

The first step is awareness.

George Lopez!

Really really thankful that we got to meet George and Ann Lopez!  Mrs. Lopez is a world class person and it really was an honor to meet her.   I’m heading out tonight to play at My Coffee Studio in Artesia (@ 9PM).  If you haven’t done it yet, pick up a copy of my CD I will be handing them out at the show.  Check out some of the pictures from today:

With George Lopez!

With Ann Lopez!!

Man, what a night.

Did some improv jamming with 3 musicians today at the show.  It was pretty siiick.  Then I busted out WGMM.  What I really like about this song is that it keeps changing, or growing I should say, every time that I perform it.  I mean, I usually close the set with this song because it has that “thing.”  The best way to explain it is to quote a girl that saw my show last month in fullerton, “I FELLT IT, HERE (points to her heart)…DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?”  So that right there, what I just quoted, THAT IS WHAT I DO.  So if you like Trapbyall then this will make total sense to you.  Not trying to sound like jerk or anything…

Back to tonight:  So I was at The Alliance de Francois on the West side of town (WESSSSSSSSSSSSSST SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!!, haha, Ice Cube status) did the improv jamming, played 3 songs, met really cool cool artists (maybe not in that order) and took off to Downey for my second show at The Stardust.  Yeah, this joint is a bar and I haven’t played in an actual bar since my days in the band.  I rocked this place and got some props from the peeps.

Also, I’ve been noticing at the shows that a lot of people expect to see a band, and I guess rightfully so since I did record the CD as a Alt. Rock/Latin/Socially Conscious joint.  But when they hear my acoustic arrangements they forget pretty quickly that it’s just this one tall dude laying it down, son.

Shout outs to all artists and people that came up to me after my sets…the reason I play is to have those moments where I know the music actually reached some souls.

So yeah gentes, stay tuned because I’m going to record some really dope tracks that I’ve been working on.  It’s all building up to another LP and I’m just on a cloud with these songs.

Talking about:  When god made me, Honey, 5 years 4 months, Green 350, This dark room, J.E.S.U.S, You are someone special, Morenita, The first sun.  It’s going to take some time to lay these down probably…but I will be posting “Honey” & “Morenita”  in late April so look for that.

Time to sleep.

More shows tomorrow…



A song for GOD.

This is my worship song.  BTW, I’m sorry for what I said/did to whoever it is out there that I did it to AND THAT’S REAL.

This is how I go to church…go to church people.

Shout out to the homey K-DOG for making this video.
