When I ride into work in the mornings, I spend a lot of time thinking. Most of what I think revolves around the music I am listening to and what is going on in my life. And I always think "I should record this somehow, blog it or whatever." I like sharing my thoughts and opinions (just ask my wife). Some of it is what I am feeling in the moment (mostly music stuff), some of it is after a lot of introspection (I have a degree in Philosophy, but I only learned how little I know about everything and nothing). Some of it is work related, which has been taking up more and more of my time.

So I've made several attempts at starting a blog, and they were fruitless, mostly because I was always looking for just the right thing to say, to have my blog, if anyone read it, be recognized as clever or intellectal or thought provoking. Thats too poseurish, and I realized if I waited, I wouldn't blog a damn thing.

My URL is the title of a Fu Manchu song, "Swami's Last Command." I love Fu Manchu. And this song, I don't know what it's about, but I went surfing last June, and that experience has just changed me, consumed me. Fu is a So Cal band, and Swami's is a famous point break somewhere in So Cal (Encinitas, CA). And a Swami is a hindu word for "He who knows and is master of himself" (from Wikipedia). It's kind of spiritual. I like it.

So it's just my thoughts. I've got a lot of them.
