Fist Of Fear, Touch Of Death
Staring with a group of fetching and titillating minimally dressed woman, Slade poses, paints and shoots them. After the photography is completed he then gets down and dirty printing the photos on archival digital proofing prints and goes at them with sand paper, gloss, paint and even the occasional gold leaf. The culminated work is a sexy madness suitable for any wall. Morgan Slade's works will be available for viewing at the Shooting Gallery Jan. 9th-30th.

Don't Burn The Messenger
It appears this message making influenza is not limited to breakfast fare and has spread to plants. This holiday season you can nab yourself a plant as a gift that has a short phrase laser etched into its ungerminated seed. When the plant grows and eventually flowers the message can be read large and in charge on the side of the sepal or base of the flower in general speak. This will, with no doubt in my mind make your mom or lady friend start crying with joyous love especially if you pick up the plant pictured below.

Casa Surf Project
Back to the legitimate subject of this post, The Casa Surf Project! Riviera Magazine paired up with the La Casa del Camino Hotel and allowed 10 of Southern California's premier surf/skate/ fashion designers to go to town on several rooms in the hotel. The companies that were fortunate enough to participate are; Billabong, Roxy, Glaceau, Etnies, ...Lost, Quiksilver, L*Space, Rip Curl and Riviera Mag. What they created is surprisingly eloquent but at the same time a testament to the maturity and growth that the action sports community has undergone. 10 years ago if you gave ...Lost free reign on a hotel room you better hope that you have great insurance because something or someone would probably catch on fire and your hotel may or may not end up condemned. At very least you would be left with a powerful odor that stings the nostrils. Fast forward 10 year to today and you get a romantic villa inspired hotel room. To check out all of the great rooms hit up Casa Surf Project. The overall best part is that these rooms are available to anyone so maybe one day you can brag to your sewing circle about getting freaky naughty in the Billabong room.
May I politely raid your mini bar?

Not Your Normal Tree House
A tree falls in your backyard... does it make a sound? Yup and it makes a kick ass tree house! Well at least it did when a tree fell in the backyard of a Brentwood estate owned by an art lover and philanthropist. Rockefeller Partners Architects went to town when a 40 foot pine tree went down for the count. But instead of chopping up this prepubescent pinewood derby car the still living tree was incorporated into a glorious structure that is more art than domicile. At Only 172 sq. ft. you're probably thinking they just jammed a Murphy bed and ran a hose up there so the guest had a place to sleep and some water to rinse off their down belows... Nope, this dainty dwelling has a bed, office, microwave, fridge and even a crapper to keep its guests happy. However, if you enjoy belting out the latest hot single from Miss Spears while showering be ready to share your larynx love with the neighbors because you be havin an outdoor shower yo!
Other than the fact you might get caught scrubbing your dirties by the neighbors this has to be one of the most well designed "tree houses" in so cal.

Republicans Boycott Climate Change Committee
Yes yes, I do know that this is my second political post in a row and I know that they are boring as women's basketball but I'm having trouble wrapping my melon around today’s political climate. The more I read about the political party divide in our country the less I can comprehend how these childish politicians get elected year after year. On Tuesday there was a Senate Committee hearing discussing a bill dealing with green house gas emissions. The committee is made up of 7 Republicans and 12 Democrats and was set to tackle a very important emissions bill so the committee can send it on its way to the full Senate for a vote. Well guess who decided to boycott the meeting... (Yes I know you read the title of this post so you already know) the Republicans. Actually 1 Republican did show up, who really cares what his name is at this point but he did show up for a few minutes to read the opening statements then he bailed. The Democrats are still waiting for the Republicans to magically appear and discuss this important topic that in one way or another will affect every single American.
So those are the facts, here is my question. How in the feck does not showing up for a meeting that will affect all of your constituents contribute to healthy government and ultimately a healthy America? (I use the term "healthy" in both a literal and figurative sense) The bill does have to do with green house gas emissions and climate change after all so health should fit in there somewhere. We are paying these politicians to run our government, their job is to make America run smoothly and make sure we continue to be the "Greatest nation in the world". How does not showing up for your job help? I understand that the 2 parties don't agree on this emissions bill but that's the derivative of the committee, come to an agreement through negotiation. You know... the old give and take, sharing is caring that we learned in kindergarten. Now, I know every politician answers to a higher power… aka corporations. Through lobbyists whose only job is to make sure the influential politicians vote in their corporations favor by dipping their putrid black mitts so far in their pockets they're practically giving them a reach around. Whewwwww! I feel good knowing that my government is hard at work with our best interests in mind. Today was election day so I hope that if you voted it was a researched informed decision and for a politician that is mature enough to think of more than their party's ideals and maybe care if only a little for the good of America and the citizens they represent.
Where are the lobbyists for the American people??

Saber Fires Up Fox News!!
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) recently hosted a health care reform video contest. The DNC chose 20 finalist's videos and one in particular has given Fox News some material and ammo against Obama’s Health Care Reform Video Contest. Well known graffiti artist Saber created the video that has the panties of the Conservative Right wingers wedged so far up their butts they can taste elastic. The video shows Saber painting an American flag then tagging some key health care reform messages over the flag. Fox News chose to see this as the DNC condoning the desecration of the American Flag and is doing their dandiest to create black clouds over the health care reform debate. My opinions may vary from yours and we have the right to disagree but Fox News must be run by some salty old curmudgeons with nothing better to do with their time then come up with new ways to hurt our country by creating a bullshit haze that blocks the real issues. If you choose to watch Fox for something other than the Simpsons and you happen upon the Fox News Channel watch and see how much "actual news" is shown. Not opinions given by their Muppet news casters. You'll be surprised how much content you receive. Oh yeah, and what about when an American Flag's image is used on underwear and you spend all day rubbing your gooch against them? Or what if you shit your pants? Isn't that desecrating the flag too? Come on Fox loosen up! Try putting more effort into real issues instead of creating useless non-news worthy material. Big up to Saber for making the top 20!!

Economy Shmeshmonomy
Fuck!!! Like you I have no clue either. I've stopped wearing chonies to save money on my laundry.
What I have noticed are twisted little glimpses into the frothing bowels of how economic downturn affects the norm. Now, coming from the west coast and shredding the gnar out in the water almost on a daily basis (thanks unemployment for this great opportunity to improve my surfing) I've found a great way to measure unemployment in CA or any state with a solid population of active ocean users. Over the past few months I've noticed a direct correlation between the unemployment % and the shitty fuckin crowd that has appeared almost magically in the middle of the day when most people should be hard at work diligently updating their Facebook accounts, "Is it Friday yet?" NO! Fuckelstein it's Wednesday be grateful you have the means to be considered a viable additive to the workforce.
Whoa... sorry about that I need to read my Zen book again and calm the fuck down. So anywho, it's not scientific method but there is a strong correlation between the number of heads in the water mid day to the unemployment rate. I'm just making useful observations.
Lets hope for empty line ups.

Well, first why are toilets usually white? Second, why is the handle usually placed on the left side of the tank? Finally, why are public toilet seats a horseshoe instead of a complete oval like the ones we have at home? I've looked up these questions and some of the answers actually make some sense while a few are simply bull shit.

PUISI
hujan pagi ini jatuh deras membasahi raga
secepat angin pun ku berlari menghindar
namunku pasrah berhenti telah basah
diam kunikmati
diantara keras suaranya menghujam tanah
ada keheningan didalamnya
ada do’a dalam hati
ada waktu yang telah berhenti
sejenak, terlalu singkat
masih berharap
Sebening awan yang kulihat kini,
Secerah birunya langit yang kupandangi,
Tiada putusku terus berharap,
Sampai merah jingga datang ketika petang,
Tiada putus do’a ku ucapkan………..
Sampai berlalu malam pergi dengan heningnya

Whether you know it or not your sense of smell is fantabulously amazing. You use your sense of smell for more intimately valuable tasks than you may be aware of. Smells will influence many of the decisions you make every day. Smell can also have other affects on you like triggering memories... Yes that's right something you experienced and inhaled years ago can pop back into your brain just by getting a whiff of that smell today. Smell related memories are what I want to talk about today. And yes I know I am writing a blog about smells... RELAX and keep reading!
So right now some of you may be saying to yourself "I have no MFin' clue what this honkey is talking about, smells bringing back memories?" Well I want you to think about your current and/or past relationships. Do you remember the way your lady friend or man friend smelled? The type of perfume or cologne they wore? Now think about the last time you were... well I don't know at a bar or club anywhere it doesn't matter and a person walked past you wearing that same perfume or cologne. What is the first thing it reminded you of? If you're human and don't have a ridiculously deviated septum the first thing you thought of was that significant other. This is just one example of the way your sense of smell plays an important role in memories and your life in general.
Now you're saying "Honkey, can you give me yet another example?"
Yet another example of this wondrous chemical/electrical olfactory reaction we call smell can be respired from our grandparents. Yes those lovely, loose skinned, wide toothed relatives can be used for more than just a $25 check around birthdays. Think about going to your grandparents house, grandma opens the door with a big grin and a right after "the hug" she says "My look how big you're getting!" Then you catch a nostril or two full of the pungent aroma commonly know as old people smell. Not all older folks have this smell but most of you will know what I'm talking about. I think the smell is created by a combination of Geritol, moth balls and Polydent denture adhesive (advancements in dental care have come a long way). So now that you have the old people smell in your head think about other times that you have come across it. Church, the drug store, maybe that time you had to do community service at the old folks home because you were caught stealing booze as a young lad. It probably always reminded you of your grandparents.
Whatever it may be my point is your sense of smell creates a metaphorical chain that links events, people, experiences and places that we all have stored up in our ol' noggins. Tomorrow I want you to focus on all of the smells you come across in your daily routines. Sniff long and good and see what pops up in your thoughts. Or don't... Actually since Halloween is one of the best days out there think about all the great Halloween smells from when you were a kid... mmmmm nostalgic. Feel free to comment back with other smell experiences, I would love to hear them.
This blog is dedicated to the least appreciated of the 5 senses and those individuals who no longer posses that sense for one reason or another.
As always,
Hugs and kisses from yours truly,
Istighfar dan keutamaannya
Ibnul Atsir berkata : pada asmaul husna terdapat al ghaffar dan al ghafur, keduanya merupakan kata hiperbola, yang berarti penutup dosa-dosa hamba-Nya dan aibnya. Arti dasar al ghafr adalah menutup. Maghfirah adalah Allah memakaikan ampunan pada orang-orang yang berdosa.
Dzun Nun Al mishri berkata : istighfar mempunyai beberapa arti :
Yang pertama : Menyesali yang telah lalu
Kedua : berusaha untuk meninggalkan.
Ketiga : Mengerjakan kewajiban Allah yang ditinggalkan
Keempat : Mengembalikan harta dan kehormatan kepada yang berhak dan meminta maaf darinya.
Kelima : menghilangkan daging dan darah yang tumbuh dari barang haram
Keenam : Merasakan pedihnya ketaatan sebagaimana dia merasakan nikmatnya melakukan kemaksiatan
Istighfar dapat dilakukan ketika :
1. Selesai melaksanakan ibadah sebagai pernyataan kelemahan hamba dalam beribadah hingga dia mendapat ampunan-Nya.
Kemudian bertolaklah kamu dari tempat bertolaknya orang-orang banyak (Arafah) dan mohonlah ampun kepada Allah; sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.(Al Baqarah 199)
Selesai shalat malam : Mereka sedikit sekali tidur di waktu malam; Dan di akhir-akhir malam mereka memohon ampun (kepada Allah).(Ad Dzariyat 17-18)
Dan Allah memuji orang-orang yang beristighfar diwaktu sahur : (yaitu) orang-orang yang sabar, yang benar, yang tetap taat, yang menafkahkan hartanya (di jalan Allah), dan yang memohon ampun di waktu sahur.(Ali Imron 17)
2. Ketika menganiaya diri dengan perbuatan dosa :
Dan (juga) orang-orang yang apabila mengerjakan perbuatan keji atau menganiaya diri sendiri, mereka ingat akan Allah, lalu memohon ampun terhadap dosa-dosa mereka dan siapa lagi yang dapat mengampuni dosa selain daripada Allah? Dan mereka tidak meneruskan perbuatan kejinya itu, sedang mereka mengetahui.(Ali Imron 135)
3. Istighfar setelah menguburkan jenazah, Nabi Muhammad Saw saat selesai menguburkan jenazah dia berdiri dan berkata : mintalah ampunan bagi saudaramu dan mohonkan untuknya ketetapan, karena dia sekarang sedang ditanya. HR Abu Daud
4. Istighfar dapat menghapus dosa dan kesalahan :
Rasulullah Saw bersabda : barang siapa berkata : astaghfirullahal ladzi laa ilaha illal huwal hayyul qoyyum wa atuubu ilaih tiga kali, maka dosanya diampuni, walaupun dia lari dari Medan perang. HR Hakim, ini adalah hadits hasan berdasarkan Muslim.
Ibnu Uyainah berkata : murka Allah adalah penyakit yang tidak ada obatnya
Perdapat ini dikomentari oleh Imam Ad Dzahabi : obatnya adalah banyak istighfar diwaktu sahur dan taubat yang jujur.
Imam An Nawawi berkata : yang dimaksud adalah tertutupnya hati. Al Qodhi berkata : yang dimaksud adalah kealpaan untuk dzikir bila dia melakukannya secara langgeng, bila dia terlupa dia menganggapnya sebagai dosa dan dia beristighfar.
Al Qurthubi berkata : para guru kami berkata : istighfar yang diminta adalah yang menghilangkan keterus menerusan dan perbuatan doas, dan artinya diterapkan oleh anggota badan dengan sekedar ucapan lisan, dan barang siapa berkata : astaghfirullah, dan hatinya selalu bermaksiat, maka istighfarnya masih membutuhkan istighfar, dan dosa-dosa kecilnya terus menumpuk hingga membesar. Diriwayatkan dari Al Hasan Al Bashri dia berkata : istighfar kita membutuhkan pada istighfar.
maka aku katakan kepada mereka: "Mohonlah ampun kepada Tuhanmu, sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Pengampun,
niscaya Dia akan mengirimkan hujan kepadamu dengan lebat,
dan membanyakkan harta dan anak-anakmu, dan mengadakan untukmu kebun-kebun dan mengadakan (pula di dalamnya) untukmu sungai-sungai .(Nuh 10-13)
Keutamaan istighfar :
1. Akan diberikan pada orang yang beristighfar kenikmatan yang baik. Dan kenikmatan yang baik ini merupakan kata-kata umum yang mencakup kebaikan didunia dan akhirat.
dan hendaklah kamu meminta ampun kepada Tuhanmu dan bertobat kepada-Nya. (Jika kamu, mengerjakan yang demikian), niscaya Dia akan memberi kenikmatan yang baik (terus menerus) kepadamu (Hud 3)
Pada ayat diatas ada hubungan antara kebahagian seseorang didunia dengan banyaknya istighfar, sebagaimana juga terdapat pada ayat-ayat lain.
2. Fadilah kedua dari istighfar, adalah dia akan mendapatkan balasan atas perbuatan baiknya, berupa mendapatkan sesuatu yang dicintainya dan dapat menolak sesuatu yang dibencinya.
Dalam shahih Bukhari bahwa Rasulullah Saw bersabda pada Saad : dan sesungguhnya engkau tidak akan menafkahkan nafkah mengharapkan ridha Allah kecuali engkau mendapatkan balasannya, hingga sesuatu yang diletakkan dimulut isterimu (shahih bukhari –kitabul iman – bab tentang perbuatan tergantung niatnya)
Dia akan memberi kepada tiap-tiap orang yang mempunyai keutamaan (balasan) keutamaannya (Hud 3)
3. Hujan
Dan (dia berkata): "Hai kaumku, mohonlah ampun kepada Tuhanmu lalu bertobatlah kepada-Nya, niscaya Dia menurunkan hujan yang sangat deras atasmu, dan Dia akan menambahkan kekuatan kepada kekuatanmu, dan janganlah kamu berpaling dengan berbuat dosa." (Hud 52)
maka aku katakan kepada mereka: "Mohonlah ampun kepada Tuhanmu, sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Pengampun,
niscaya Dia akan mengirimkan hujan kepadamu dengan lebat,(Nuh 10-11)
4. Dari Ibnu Abbas RA berkata : Rasulullah Saw bersabda : barang siapa melanggengkan istighfar maka Allah menjadikan baginya pada setiap kesempitan jalan keluar, pada setiap kegundahan kesenangan, dan memberinya rizki dari jalan yang tidak diduga (Sunan Abu Daud, kitabus shalah, bab istighfar)
Ibnu Katsir berkata : barang siapa mempunyai sifat ini, maka Allah akan mempermudah rizkinya, mempermudah urusannya, menjaga status dan makanan pokoknya, Allah berfirman : Nuh 11) Tafsir Ibnu Katsir 4/453)
Semoga kita termasuk hamba Allah yang rajin beristighfar. Amin
