This past weekend was a raucus celebration at Topanga Days 2003. I went all three days this time. The first day me and steve and the gang got caught trying to sneak in after alley hollered at us from the icey stand and shouted for the guards. We then got escorted by a fat guard to the rear to pay (Steve snuck off). The last day i was very hung over and sort of pissed off for some of the day. But then i got over it and hung out until the end. Saw a lot of old pals and pretty girls. I also saw the requisite fight at topanga days turn into a “never before” precedented brawl with the outsourced security, with pepper spray and all. It was quite a scene. Steve and I saw a guard get jump kicked while trying to spray pepper spray and stumble backwards and fall onto the writhing brawl. It turns out that this was the same guard whom had escorted me and the gang to the rear entrance to pay after we were intercepted whilst sneaking in (See Above). The brawl was quite violent, and one of our beloved topanga brothers was hauled off to spend the night in jail :(

Topanga Days 2003
Wednesday, May 28th, 2003Sine wave emotional state
Monday, May 12th, 2003Its like a rapid sine wave. I’ll be down at work, feeling downright depressed. I don’t think i’ve felt like this before. Then i’ll go surfing and see a magnificent sunset, feel god’s presence in all of life, have a dinner with some surf buddies. All of a sudden I find myself riding the crest of this cyclic wave. I feel like the past few years I’ve been riding that crest continuously, somehow evading the slipper slopes. Or maybe this wave has simply increased in velocity, where as before the wave was almost at a stand still. But was that real? Was the fact that i was in love with caren really the cause of that never ending high? Was it a genuine love in the first place? Maybe it was for most of the time and only morphed into needy clinging near the end. Is this a necessary turn in the cycle? What doesn’t turn? Nothing exists in permanance. It is as it is, this I know.
Serious.
Wednesday, May 7th, 2003The last few days have been seriously emotional. Its amazing how much power your “bloody” mind can have over you. Thinking about the past, the future, that which has no real substance in this world, purely fictional stuff, can take hold of you and convince you physically and psychologically that you have such immense pain and problems the only thing to do is to burst into tears and purge yourself of the toxic buildup inside you.
