Jeff Sheripa (possible spelling error?)
Was walking around the gym in a somnambulistic (sleep-walking) state when Jeff Sheripa asked me what's up. I sprang into 'kicking ass, just got done reading some 'Naked Cowboy Dialogue,' etc. This spawned my reasoning for it, the constant up-keep and conditioning, the repetition of the purpose. Anyone not familiar with 'Naked Cowboy Dialogue' can read it in it's entireity in the writing section on nakedcowboy.com and you'll understand what's up. I started out the day with Franklin Merrell-Wolfe for two hours, rocked the shit out of Times Square for 4 solid non-stop, went to Jambox studio and sang/recorded new bomb ass track 'Everybody Get Naked' which basically involves standing in a hot box at a mic screaming a song a couple of hundred songs with mico, minute, subtle, tinky-dinky, sound more sexy, pretend you're in front of your favorite goat suggestions till they finally say, ok, sounds permissable, kind of, we'll see ya tomorrow. Got back to girlfriends house in Secaucus and did a power cleaning, empty cans, dump main can (trash), do load of laundry, all dishes cleaned and put away, windex all glass, vacuum, clean internal parts of vacuum in sink, wipe stove, takes about forty minutes including shower, did pretty good job of not bitchin' in my head the whole time about the lazy good for nothin' lazy shit assess for every single thing I did. I lived in a hotel for about 8 years while building the brand Naked Cowboy and got used to being in a perfectly controlled environment where total understanding of discipline, organization and wealth all go hand in hand and so I tend to reinforce my pattern by condemning those around me as the whole, I'm so great and perfect routine is already so well established. It's not a shitty, you're inherently bad person bickering, it's the, hey, the world rewards those who are efficient and orderly and all that stuff and just total refusal to understand why anyone would not capitalize on the opportunity to clean and organize anything and everything. (like I do) I picked up two of my girl's kids then got on the eliptical for an hour or so and was just nailing shoulders when Jeff awoke me. Now was I in the zone, totally fused with the moment and triggered to my conditioned shared mutual Tony Robbins commonalilty with Jeff to spring into a justification pattern about how I was doing my reading, or was I 'lost in thought' (the condition Eckhart Tolle claims the dysfunctional human race lives in), and not really 'present' at all. Is the analysis itself now just another layer of questioning divorcing myself even further and basically just a continuation of the desire for a non-present state, perpetrated by a mind that is defending itself from an exhausted body that was 'present' all day and now trying to escape? When I was deep into Franklin this morning I called Nancy Rawlingson (my biographer) and we talked at length as I just got my copy of 'Experience in Conciousness' back from her yesterday and basically asked how she could relinquish it withhout completing it to which, she replied she's got it on order from Amazon. We talked about the 'elixir of life,' the 'sweet ambrosia,' the 'ineffable reality,' the 'transcendental reality,' all concepts dealt with at length and to what degree experience, mine and hers, based on the reading could be affirmed or denied. It all gets wordy, and certainly, deeply explorative. Two quick takes, one, you can bend your mind to mystically peotic proportions thereby opening the mind or giving the mind a road map, if you will, that it can unfold before you and so it is. Or, by seeking this, mapping it out so to speak, you're not actually transcending anything but merely using the deceptive apparatus of the mind to create yet another desired end that is still of the mind. Like the 'whole spirit' it cannot be sought, one can only get out of the way and humbly be open to serve, surrendered and in denial of 'the world' so to speak? Like I said, wordy, and could easily give ten more takes and twists. Anyway, getting ready for meal 4, chicken and veggies, getting ripped this week as a summer special for humanity. Got confirmation on a trip to Nashville on 16,17,18, to make Country album an even faster reality that the world will celebrate eternally.

Hey Naked!
Congrats on going back down to Nashville to record more songs on the 16, 17, and 18th. That's really exciting! Do you know when you'll be back in NYC? I am going to be up on the 19th but it's alright if you're still going to be down in Nashville rocking out. Let me know if you get a chance.
Have a great weekend!
