My poetry:
IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM
The night fell fast, I found myself alone,
A DC summer storm was blowing in,
I stood at the tomb, these soldiers unknown,
and knelt and prayed for the rain to begin.
Not for the monuments nor any money,
nor pomp, circumstance, nor the pedant's pride,
the politician's smile, nor lawyer's fee,
for these present treasures, none of them died.
I ran to Jefferson to read the wall,
to make sure that God was still written there,
then to Washington, and across the Mall,
where Lincoln invoked his immortal prayer,
Winded and ragged, lightning everywhere,
I slowed to a walk, pondered what would be,
if God's great Enlightenment weren't there,
we could still be brave but never be free.
I found comfort in the Mall's mud and rain,
without mines nor cannons nor raining shells,
so free from fear, iniquity, and pain,
because thousands had endured a thousand hells.
And I found myself back before the tomb,
humbled by the humbled, with naught for name,
shivering, though they had the colder room,
sans light, nor sound, nor tomorrow, nor fame.
I thought for a moment, what it could be,
the center and circumference of their dreaming,
it must have been the prophet's poetry,
that granted their souls eternal meaning.
So judges and Congressmen, please don't forget,
the reason these patriots picked up swords,
not for perks nor power were their deaths met,
but for honor and duty-- for mere words.
So do take pause before telling a lie,
for there's one more thing I saw on that night,
as the wind and the rain began to die,
I walked away, turned, and beheld a light.
Wil'O'wisp, reddish light, sailor's delight,
It hovered there-- just above the tomb's stone,
As fading thunder whispered to the night,
"Freedom's the name of all soldiers unknown."
--Dr. E
I love surfing & I love classic Westerns. I love
The Odyssey, Hamlet, and Dante's Inferno, far
there are No Higher Adventures.
I love those lonely
Malibu
mornings like we had just last week, when the waves Thunder on down like
that Old Testament God from Sergio Leone's Fistful of
Dollars--the Man With No Name who rides on into town, as
humble as the prophets and poets, until they call him out--push
the stranger to the edge as they always do--calling on
down the Thunder--as they did in The Odyssey, Hamlet, and
Fistful.
"Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur michi," was how Dante
put it.
Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars. The Best. Movie. Ever. & The.
Best. Score. Ever. The masterpiece was shot for under $200,000.
Imagine a simple t-shirt that gave you the power to call the bluff--the
courage to own the risk--the tenacity to embark on your very own
Hero's
Journey and accomplish that feat you were destined for so long
ago--becoming you. Time's relentless, towering waves will toss and
twist you--hurl you up
dash
you down--unless you learn how to ride 'em. And you ain't gonna do that
on shore. You might think it's safe sitting there, but ain't nobody out
of time's reach--Time's wave washes over all, leaving us as we
were
before we began.
Even if you spend your life in a Cave with the TV turned on,
thinking the shadows are etenrity's reality, time's tide will tell you
otherwise.
Witness the
duel in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly--hear the score by
Ennio Morricone--and see what eternal art is about.
And make no mistake--they're gonna tell you it ain't safe out
there--that it's safer in a
cubicle, with a pension and benefits. Call the bluff and catch the
wave--45 SURF.
There's so much talk these days obscuring the simple. So much emphasis
on the superficial, obscuring the soul. So much time spent trying to
string eternity's bow with fleeting fads and pop psychology. So many
watching shadows
dancing on the cave's wall, bickering over a reality that ain't even
real.
THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY
Well, 45 SURF
is about calling 'em out. It's about calling the bluff and reading
The Odyssey and the Gospels and Hamlet and Dante's
Inferno for
yourself--then we can talk. For there's a difference between standing
on shore and
watching, and riding that wave--and until you've owned the risk, you'll
never own the reward. Until you stand where I've stood, there's so need
for you to talk 'bout shouldn't and should.
Check out the classic "Ready to Rise (Grey's Anatanomy, Laguna
Beach)"
video complete with the 45 Revolver showdown & creation of the
original
t-shirts. Dr. E shot it.

"What if," I found myslef wondering while surfing off of Hatteras in NC
one Autumn, "What if the fourth dimension was moving relative to the
three spatial dimesnions. Then matter could surf it, and yet stay in
one place, just as the surfer stays in one place relative to the wave,
but moves towards the shore.
And so it is that 45 SURF is also all about Dr.
E'sMoving
Dimensions
Theory--a theory which calls String Theory's en route to unifying
quantum mechanics and relativity via a simple
postulate--the fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three
spatial dimensions. The equivalence between mass and energgy, given by
E=mc2, arises because photons are matter that "surfs" the
expanding fourth dimension. The first treatment of MDT was given in Dr.
E's dissertation on an artificial
retina for the blind.
45 Surf is about a return to the Classics. A return to simplicity and
Truth's Beauty. It's about living by that higher code of honor shared
by Dante, Odysseus, Socrates, and Jesus--by John Wayne and the Man
with
No Name. It's about taking the hard,
long road both there and back, as only in the realm of rugged adventure
is our Character ever born. 45 Surf is all about bringing back the
handshake, a man's word, and a woman's infinite, deeper beauty.
"Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur michi," was how Dante
put it. "Here is one greater than me who inspires me." Do you know who
he was talking about? Beatrice.
From Carolina to California, there's a vast longing for rugged, higher
adventure--for rugged men and rugged women who can take the time to lay
it on the line. Rugged beauty is where it's at.
Look
around and you will notice that the Classic Western is
no longer made. The Paramount Ranch in Malibu is a ghost
town--like the abandoned neighborhood of a forgotten factory.
And yet,
there is something that cannot be banned--your soul yet yearns for that
greater dream--to know that far deeper love that Dante felt for
Beatrice, that Odysseus felt for Penelope; that buoyed those words
through time and translation; as the waves bouy the surfer who learns
to ride those entities so many fear. So it is with the Great Books and
Classics--you'll never know them from the shore--they're the highest
adventures you'll ever know. For while climbing a mountain can let you
see miles and miles, reading a classic lets you glimpse eternity.
"My mule don't like people laughing. My mistake--four coffins." From
Fistful of Dollars
I see so many in LA who have lost faith, and they don't even know
it--so it is that those who have not, even that is taken away. I see
so
many who have given up, and they don't even know it. So many who expect
nothing, and think that it makes no difference--to think, to be, to take
action--so many who think they know what surfing is from watching
shadows on a cave's wall--so many who think they know what the Bible is
from what someone told them--so many who think they know physics and
philosophy from a
cereal box--so many who think they know love by feeling lone, sans
thought's abstract, higher integrity--so many who have never read the
Odyssey nor seen A
Fistful
of Dollars and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and realized
that Sergio Leone and and Homer were one and the same--two kindred
souls, spearated by thousands of years--drawn towards faith and the
family--towards the awesome Wonder of that Old Testament's God's
thunder. So many who have
been cheated on and lied to tehir whole lives, becuase they never knew
that you've got to lay it on the line--that ain't noone--especially no
Lotus Eater--is ever gonna do it for you. Welcome to 45 SURF.
And yet,
there is something that cannot be banned--your soul yet yearns for that
greater dream--to know that far deeper love that Dante felt for
Beatrice, that Odysseus felt for Penelope; that buoyed those words
through time and translation; as the waves bouy the surfer who learns
to ride those entities so many fear. So it is with the Great Books and
Classics--you'll never know them from the shore--they're the highest

see miles and miles, reading a classic lets you glimpse eternity.
GEARS OF WAR SET TO GRAVEYARD SCORE FROM THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE
UGLY
Make no mistake. 45 Surf is about that renaissance that has been a
long time coming. So go pick up a copy of Dante's Inferno. Go
read
Fitzgerald's translation of The Odyssey. Go read the
Constitution and The Declaration of Independence. o read
Einstein's original words and papers--he wrote them for you--and within
his words, yu dahll see more than beauty--you shall see a rugged,
classic sincerity, shared by every immortal poet from Adam on down. And
we're bringing it on back. Enough String Theory and postmodern
poetry--the Renaissance is a rising. Many are called. . .
The. Best. Showdown. Ever. -- Fistful of Dollars
On case you haven't noticed, they've banned the classic Western, along
with the Great Books and Classics. The score. The simplicity. The
eerie, howling wind. They've banned the showdown.
A vast, mysterious beauty surrounds us. Reach out for it as it
passes on by. Call the bluff. Catch the wave. Own the risk--own the
risk of a
renaissance.
For being born into this world was the greatest risk you'll ever take.
Now all you've gotta do is own that life, or else life will own you.
Live your dreams, as they were given as a most unique gift, and if you
don't see 'em through, ain't noone gonna do it for you.
Sometimes you've got to think like a surfer--lie low, go with the flow,
and ride the wave. And sometimes you've got to be the cowboy--ride into
town, call the bluff, and face the music in the showdown. But surfer or
cowboy, you've go to own the risk--the risk of the renaissance.
"When a
man with 45 meets a man with a rifle, you said, the man with a pistol's
a dead man. Let's see if that's true. Go ahead, load up and shoot."
--Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars
"How would you like to stand like a God before the crest of a monster
billow, always rushing to the bottom of a hill and never reaching its
base, and to come rushing in for a half mile at express speed, in
graceful attitude, until you reach the beach and step easily from the
wave?" -- Duke Kahanamoku
John Wayne, also known as "The Duke," said, "A man ought
to do what he thinks is right. If everything isn't black and white, I
say, 'Why the hell not?'" And there you have it--the black &
white
45 SURF logo.

So many people still don't understand Riverboarding. We do not use a boat to travel upstream at 30+ mph. Riverboarding is powered by a bungee system that slingshots you upstream. You use the river current to stretch the bungee. Once the bungee is done pulling, it releases from the board allowing you to do many boardsport tricks. Once your ride is done, float back downstream to the end of the bungee, hook the board to the bungee, stretch it and ride again. Surf all day long! I am still getting Emails asking how to hook the board to the boat. www.BANSHEERIVERBOARDS.COM
