There is nobody
like you in the world - There is not another moment like this or will there ever be. Death
and Life are inevitable - Nothing is more beautiful than truth - Nature knows what it is doing. Enjoy it.
Love.

"To take the world as one finds
it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment — to laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous
or unkind — to spend freely when one has money, and to hope gaily when one has none — to fleet the time carelessly,
living for love and art — this is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in his outward and visible aspect. It
is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment, this esoteric phase of the Bohemian religion; and
if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some
very pretty vices and lovable faults, for in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save that of Hypocrisy. ... His faults
are more commonly those of self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination, and these usually go hand-in-hand
with generosity, love and charity; for it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves,
as well. ... What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique, and what is the charm of its mental fairyland?
It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia! One must choose and find one’s own path, be one’s own self, live
one’s own life". (From the American writer Gelett Burgess, on the amorphous place called Bohemia)

PDP is Bohemian
at heart first... Musicians by proxy of fondness of people, and love of life. PDP's heart is in brotherhood with the troubadour
and the bacchanalian, the writer and painter, Poet, teacher, worker... all the people We love life, and we consider it holy. We
like a sense of the Gypsy in our step. Rooted in a time before. We try to live with both hands full. Dinner parties. Books. Records. Writing.
Reading. Music. Sex. Love. Death. Nature. Thoughts. Expression. Dancing. Laughing. Crying. Fighting. Close conversation.
Quiet. Loud. Fragrant. Sleep. Death. Remember Death. So that NOW you live fully. Live and love, and
let EVERYBODY know it. Now.
The term bohemian, of French origin, was first used in the English
language in the nineteenth century to describe the untraditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers,
musicians, workers, and actors in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or antiestablishment political
or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through free love, frugality, and/or voluntary poverty. The term emerged
in France in the early 19th century when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class gypsy neighborhoods.
The term bohémien was a common term for the Romani people of France, who had reached Western Europe via Bohemia.

It's the dawning of a new era. Time to collect
ourselves and remember who we really are, ...before the sound of commercial agitation all around us. Don't get led by the herd. Remember your original heart.
Honor it. Defend it. Your child's heart holds the dream... follow it. The computer,
cell phone & t.v. screen are only an electric 'other world' of distraction, and that
world is not as real as this one. Your soul is timeless.
Your soul is one of a kind & precious! Honor it. Follow it. Defend it. Kill for it. PDP likes to give pleasure PDP likes to
cook the food they love & rejoice in it PDP has no patience for hypocrisy PDP believes you should be who you
truly are PDP loves life... regardless PDP does not like genetic modification PDP trusts in nature
PDP respects a good glass of wine PDP loves a song that makes
them cry PDP wants to build a home library PDP likes to really connect PDP loves people PDP distrusts
commerce for commerce's sake PDP trusts passion PDP trusts people PDP trusts life PDP believes there
is no evil PDP believes that there is ignorance PDP believes truth will find a way PDP believes you should
trust your true heart first PDP believes life will show the way PDP wants everyone & every living thing to bloom
I'm steeping into the garden world,
the passion world, the true story world, the confidential world, the birth and death world, the
sensual world. I am stepping into the ocean, valleys and mountains, I'm admiring a woman on the train with
her kids, I'm buying lumber to build a shelf, I'm paying for our lunch with the last of my money, I'm giving the change to anyone who asks
for it, I'm coming over for dinner, We are going to talk, laugh and sing, and tomorrow we are going to clean
the house, and begin again, on something else completely.
I am playing ping pong with Henry Miller... I am making Frida Khalo tea, I am baiting Hemmingway's hooks. I am pouring Kerouac another glass of wine. I am cooking my friends dinner. I'm taking out the trash,

I think this is my home page for now. I may stick all my writing
here, for now, Bohemia, it feels
right for now. Maybe a blog spot... here
goes... 6:30 am 7/11/09 I'm in love with
the rain. It is pre-dawn in Chi-Town; Hyde Park (which is "Manoa" in my mind). It is raining, there is thunder... all is good & right . I love the rain. It reminds me of
Hawai'i; (...my brethren will know what I mean). It is
only in the warm rain that I truely know who I am, ...
I'm not sure I can explain this: The mud between my toes
in my slippers on a hike in the valleys of the koolau mountains...
