South Park Aims at Whaling Issue
***South Park just released a new episode called "Whale Whores", which highlights the horrific Taiji Dolphin slaughter and whale killing. In typical style they not only pick on the Japanese, but also poke fun at the Sea Shepherd society, Paul Watson and in the end drive a harpoon through Captain Watson's head. Pretty hectic, hope I can see it online or on a friends TV. Hers's what captain watson had to say regauarding the recent attacks he's been fielding."I get called insulting names all the time by irrelevant trolls on the internet and it’s never bothered me because I’ve always felt that no one makes any social reform progress in this world without pissing off a great many people, and the more people you piss off, the more progress you make.

TWO BANDS SURROUNDED WITH MAGIC
Music is magical, it's ability to wrap amazing experiences from life into rhythmic patterns is a blessing for the mind. On my recent trippings along Australia, I was gifted with greatness while listening to these bands do there things. Love getting hooked on new sounds.

MY FAVORITE INSTRUMENT
***The Hang Drum (pronounced Hung) is made by hand from two fellows in Switzerland and is hands down the most connection I've ever experienced from any instrument. My mate in Aus has one and I lose my mind when I'm allowed the time to escape in it's tones. Problem is, there nearly impossible to get and cost an arm and a leg.
CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AUSTRALIA
****As expected with any language around the world, certain cultures have different words for similar actions. Here is the first installment of some recent learning's from my trip down under. Please feel free to suggest others if they come to you.
1. Bangs = Fringe in Aus 2. Pickup Truck = Ute 3. Fired = Made redundant. Unfortunately I heard that alot with the financial shitstorm 4. Fanny=Butt = Aus. fanny stands for a ladies private zone...

NEIL YOUNG - THE MUSIC OF A HAUNTING MASTER
***The voice of the wind spirits and pulse of the land. The haunting connection that keeps you wanting more. So magnificent.

FINALLY MADE IT HOME
Well the journey has concluded and in fine style I might add. We came into Bondi Beach 3 days ago to close to 100 surfers in the oceans waiting for us in the overcast, rainy conditions that guided our paths. It was a surreal beach gathering, speeches, interviews, friends, love etc... That night Billabong rented a fancy - shmancy banquet dealy and we had some good times making music, dancing and generally celebrating a great trip.
I had a hectic flight home, 2 hour delay on run way than 3 hours into the flight we had to turn back to Sydney because of fuel tank issues, once above Sydney we were informed of rain storms and couldn't land in the rain, so we flew to Melbourne. Few more hours in lines, buses and hotels and a few hours sleep. Next morning we left late, funny thing I did my best to see the set-backs as b lessings and I had a great flight surrounded with good people to LA. Drove home, slept 14 hours and now I'm back in the swing of things. All is well.
