Friends,

I'm enjoying a brief moment of damn-sure-good internet and taking time off from "Evel & The Hood." It's gonna be a coffee table book full of pictures; an autobiography of my friend John Hood and his friend Evel Knievel. Stand by, it's comin'!

I'm going to put this link out there for you adventurist types. If you're a devout Christian and have studied your bible and know it well... delete this email now; or at least skip the "History & Stuff" audio part. You won't like it and I don't wanna hear you don't like it. There's a certain responsibility with what we put in our mouths and our heads.

In my continuing efforts to define this newsletter, I've come to view it as a kind of vacuum running across my living room rug. It picks up everything and I dump the interesting stuff into this letter/blog for your edification. It doesn't mean I buy the whole package, drink the Cool Aid or bet heavily on it... it's just a scrapyard full of information at my disposal. I can pick through it to stitch a view of the world on a daily basis... sometimes the only piece of a puzzle that fits.

Cliff stitches in words like Shit, Piss, Fuck... sometimes we need to get over that shit and carry on. God is Love... IT's all around us... It just IS... the dynamic is in You... best defined by Your Love towards Others... which allows You to receive that very same Love in return... kind of like a Christmas tree, you can dangle all the lights and blobs you like, put a star on top... but remember; it's about the LOVE, not the shit under the tree.
