Happy, Happy..

Happy Thanksgiving. I do think that this holiday has the most value, especially for people who are sitting on top of the totem pole. Shit, if you have your health, any family that you don't loathe, one friend you trust and a few things laying around that bring you some sort of happiness then you are doing better than a large portion of our world. If you have only one of the things above your doing OK.

Looking at my own life is something I do lots of these days, it's called Zazen and it's a practice of Zen Buddhism. In many ways Thanksgiving is really a Zen holiday, but I guess when I'm sitting with my legs all twisted up, in a cold room full of strangers, that I'm really not thanking anybody specificly,I am just learning to pay attention all-the-fucking-time! Thanksgiving on steroids. It's really hard. Try it and see.

But this holiday is nice because it's a cultural event where many people, who live in the daydreams of the past and future (yep, you and me), take a little time to notice their lives and see where they are right now.

There is a reason that this holiday comes only once a year, as this introspection is harder than it looks, believe me. It brings up lots of shit.

So thanks to my dear family, band mates and friends.

And thanks to all the nice people who come here and pay attention to our little band. We really do appreciate you.
