Fugazi

The name is from a book Fugazi front man Ian MacKaye was reading called "Nam" by Mark Baker. Ian says:
"It's a book of reflections of Vietnam veterans and at one point, this guy said everything was 'Fugazi.' I looked it up in the glossary and it said, 'fucked up situation.' It was right at the point when we were getting ready to do our first show and I was desperately trying to come up with a name, anything other than Ian's New Band."

Happiness

"There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy."

Peanuts

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you’ll get the point..

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2.. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special..

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.

Sick

I woke up at 5 am dripping sweat, and goosebumps all over. Headed over to the bathroom only to puke my guts out. Stoked on the clean weather, not so happy about the sickness part.

Here is a photo I found on the Univ website today. It's a photo of Joel Tudor, Andrew Kidman, and some other dude on the North Shore of Oahu in December of 1998. Pretty rad.

Morgan Maassen

I have been watching this movie consistently since it first appeared on the surf blog world about 2 months back. I'm still mesmerized by the easiness and smoothness of the surfing in it. Trevor Gorden, Travers Adler, Brandon Smith, and Spencer Regan shot by the incredibly talented Morgan Maassen at Rincon.

I'm taking a note from my friend Evan on this post, I remember seeing this blog a little while ago and didn't think much of it. After a little bit of checking up on the blog, I realized that it is a pretty stylish (play on words) blog. Check out The Sartorialist

Erica took some photos of me surfing Ab earlier today, super excited about them! I took out my 5'7 fish, the sets were 8-9 ft, and the tide dropped to somewhere in the negatives while I was out there.
