  • Breakthrough finally happened, from Jacob Israel

    Breakthrough finally happened, from Jacob Israel

    Watching Jacob Israel talk about Jesus saying there will be no signs in the end times. You’ve been given enough information and I believe we are in the end times that I wasn’t asking for a sign. But I needed something because lately, I’ve been very worried and it’s put a Pall over me. So much so that a neighbour asked me on the street. Are you okay? And no one had ever said something like that to me before, because usually, I’m quite jubilant and upbeat, but I guess I’ve been carrying a shadow knowing that the storm is coming.

    Just not when Knowing that it’s going to be a tough winter dark winter, and just being worried too much about my own problems as well with finance and started drinking in the summer beer at the beach and it’s hard to shake. Now, I’m close to the end of September struggling to stop drinking. So, no wonder, I seemed worried I was on my way to the liquor store to get more beer when I saw the lady that asked, are you okay?

    So today, the Sun was shining in my favourite corner where I have “Kid by the Side of the Road” and an open “King James Bible” that my mother gave me. It’s black with a leather case and a zipper it’s antique and I have it open to the Book of John but I hadn’t been reading it to be perfectly honest and this brings me back to what It Jacob Israel was saying in his video was when Jonas was spit from the whale. Repent, repent disaster is coming. Disaster is coming.

    Repent and I sat there thinking about that and I looked down at the Open Bible and it was on 36, no chapter 6, 32, and or maybe even a little later. But up until chapter 6, 58 I’ve realized in a dawning of an instant that what I was looking at was the abbreviated version of the entire New Testament. It can be encapsulated in less than a 5-minute read. The entire birth of the Catholic Church. The entire belief structures that we been doused with Can be encapsulated in John 6, verse 32. 

    Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

    33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

    34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

    35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

    36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

    37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

    38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

    39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

    40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

    41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

    42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

    43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

    44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

    45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

    46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

    47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

    48 I am that bread of life.

    49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

    50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

    51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

    52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

    53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

    54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

    55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

    56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

    57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

    58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

    King James Version (KJV)

    Repent. Repent. What we need to ask forgiveness of is our own lack of belief. Sometimes that Christ is the Son of God and the son of man and that he provided us, everything that we ever needed to find peace and happiness. We only need two Eat of his bread and drink of his blood, eat of his flesh and drink of his blood is metaphoric, but at the same time, it’s intellectual. I believe this whole topic is super intellectual in my pursuit of the truth.

    On this topic, takes me into the Apocrypha and especially the five books of Enoch and Enoch mentioning in Jude mentioned in the Bible and mentioned. In Genesis is so critically important to understand that Enoch may be Melchizedek and Enoch is the the truth about Jesus Christ coming and who Jesus Christ was in the sacrifice that he would make on our behalves.

    It’s an incredible Awakening that happened to me break through and it’s going to put me back into blogging and writing. And what I believe another thing is in the book of Haggai that after the 9th and 24th, know that 20th and fourth day of the ninth month, all blessings will be ours. But you have to have that realization repent. Repent. Jesus Christ is our Savior.

  • Oldsmobile 442 True Classic Muscle Car

    Oldsmobile 442 True Classic Muscle Car

    Whenever I see the time on a digital clock of 4:42 I think of my good friend Kim. He was a couple years older than me and in high-school he was the guy we looked up to. Kim had the hottest girlfriends, lived in the best neighbourhood, in the best house, with the best pool. On top of everything else, Kim was cool and he also owned the coolest muscle car; a 442.

    Oldsmobile 442

    Oldsmobile 442 – began as a 1964 muscle car option package (4-barrel carburetor, 4-speed manual transmission, and 2 exhausts) on the F-85/Cutlass. In 1965, to better compete with the Pontiac GTO, the original 330 CID V8 rated at 310 hp (231 kW) was replaced by a new 400 CID V8 rated at 345 hp (257 kW).

    The 442 definition was changed to “4” hundred CID V8 engine, “4”-barrel carburetor, and “2” exhaust pipes, and was named by “Car Craft Nationals” as the “top car of 1965”. In 1968 the 442 became its own model and got a larger, 455 CID (7.5 L), V8 engine in 1970.

    The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car produced by Oldsmobile between the 1964 and 1987 model years. Introduced as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, spawned the Hurst/Olds in 1968, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais.

    The “4-4-2” name (pronounced “Four-four-two”) derives from the original car’s four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts (Some maintain that the ‘2’ indicated a limited-slip differential). It was originally written “4-4-2” (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals), and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile’s use of the designation.

    Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a three-speed manual along with an optional two-speed automatic and four-speed manual, but were still badged as “4-4-2″s. Because of this change, from 1965 on, according to Oldsmobile brochures and advertisements, the 4-4-2 designation referred to the 400 cubic inch engine, four-barrel carburetor, and dual exhausts.

    By 1968 badging was shortened to simply “442”, but Oldsmobile brochures and internal documents continued to use the “4-4-2” model designation.

  • Eco Friendly Project Jaguar in Guyana

    Eco Friendly Project Jaguar in Guyana

    Rupununi savannah

    Many projects come across my desk and of all that I’ve seen over the years, Project Jaguar is by far my favourite. Not just because Guyana is the only English speaking country in South America but more because the project is such a great idea for the region and will help to protect the ecology.

    Executive Summary – Project Jaguar

    Pirara Holdings Inc. (“PHI” or “The Company”), a company incorporated in Guyana, is constructing a Organic-Bio-Industrial Complex named ‘Project Jaguar” in the Rupununi Savannahs of Guyana. This project is designed to convert agricultural biomass and sugars into electricity, and synthetic diesel fuel (Syn-diesel). Soybeans and Alfalfa hay will also be cultivated as crops, which will be marketed to buyers in the Middle East for the animal feed markets.

    This project is a large leap towards the energy independence of Guyana and will create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs. The land, which will be leased from the Government of Guyana for 99 years and consists of 88,000 acres (36,000 hectares) in the North Rupununi savannahs of Guyana on the border of Brazil. PHI will be a vertically integrated company; supplying its own raw material feedstock, producing electricity, syrup, an organic fertilizer, animal feed products, and syn-diesel at its own plants, and actively marketing the output to minimize the effects of price and demand fluctuations in the global energy market. In addition to syn-diesel, PHI intends to create multiple revenue streams from sweet sorghum, alfalfa and soya bean plants and in the process create an eco friendly and carbon neutral facility.

    PHI’s project will have a transformative effect on the economy of Guyana. The benefits to Guyana include, but are not limited to, the areas of:

    1. Fuel and Energy: A significant reduction in petroleum imports and the commencement of bio-fuel exports
    2. Job creation and rural community development
    3. Establishment of a “Center of Excellence” in sustainable production of energy
    4. Tax generation for government of Guyana

    5.   Enhanced contribution to the global “green” effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

    6.    Decreased government social spending as a result of increased employment

    This project will provide opportunities for families to remain intact by creating local employment options for both younger and older generations.  PHI’s establishment of a valued community of workers receiving wages, undergoing appropriate training, and supported by basic medical care will contribute significantly to the development of this rural area of Guyana. 

    PHI’s program of profitable and sustainable production of inexpensive green energy will help Guyana meet its growing energy needs. It will generate at least 700 direct jobs and several thousand indirect jobs and strengthen Guyana’s agricultural sector and export capabilities.  PHI will seek to achieve a “triple bottom line” of financial, environmental, and social benefits in order to maximize long-term earnings and stability.

    Business Strategy

    The overall business strategy is to grow various types of crops and biomass to produce energy and food products and convert all the waste streams from these processes into valuable marketable products. The attached spreadsheet (SS Matrix) shows all the products we can currently produce from sweet sorghum.

    The government of Guyana is very interested in new technologies and factories and industries, which create permanent employment for its population especially for the indigenous Amerindians of Guyana. The project concept presented by PHI meets these government expectations.

    The Project Objectives:

    The objectives are to a build environmentally friendly, waste free, cost effective, energy self-sufficient, carbon neutral organic-agro-industrial complex, using agricultural residue and sweet sorghum as its feed stock. Project Jaguar will produce both agricultural products such as grains and forage crops as well as industrial products such as bio-diesel, electricity, syrup, animal foods and other industrial by-products. All seeds are non-GMO and organic agricultural practices are used to grow the crops.

    The prime objectives are to operate this facility without adding pollution to the environment and retain the land as “organic” by utilizing organic fertilizers and other organic agricultural chemicals.

    Project Job Creation

    An estimated 884 permanent jobs are created required for 285 positions in the project.

  • Mastery of Emotions

    Mastery of Emotions

    hacking the matrix

    The collective and individual healing work we will need to take on to clear out fields and grid of the lower vibrations we have been stuck in for generations. In order to ascend from he lower grid we must learn the Mastery of Emotions

    I see people suffering from generational blocks and unconscious curses as a result of the matrix we have been held hostage in.

    Separated from our emotional, transformational and basic human design, we live and experience the consequences of stress daily. Stress, pain and disease have become so common.

    The shift will take place when more and more old souls clear their field and those of ancestors and future children.

    The way out of the matrix is to learn how to master your emotions withing the human design of the Mind Body & Spirit.

    Did you know that every time you talk about an unhealed wound or trauma, you re-activate it in your emotional, spiritual and physical bodies? As you speak, or even think, about an old issue, you experience it as if it is happening right now.

    Since your subconscious mind does not know the difference between current experience and past memory, for all intents and purposes, the trauma or negative experience is happening now.

    When you re-activate old painful memories, your thoughts, words and emotions create a negative karmic energy that you unknowingly project out into your future. This karmic energy manifests in more painful experiences, similar to the original issue. In other words, when issues come up without resolution, a karmic loop or pattern develops.

    Each time this karmic pattern manifests in real life situations, you re-experience the original wound and the current hurt simultaneously. When this occurs, it is a powerful opportunity to heal the past wound by healing the current one.

    Unfortunately, when an issue is re-activated, instead of using it as a healing opportunity, many of us react by pushing the wounds down with numbing substances like food, drugs, internet, Facebook, TV, and a long list of other distractions.

    Unhealed issues get stored in the body, until we release them. The body obliges as a storehouse for emotional wounds but it does take its toll, especially if issues are accumulated for long periods of time.

    Storing wounds in the body eventually weakens the body and invites illness and disease, as well as causing depression, fatigue, stress and weight gain. The good news is that the body is ready to release issues, the moment you are.

    When an unhealed issue is re-activated, don’t just push it down – take the time to finally heal it. This means creating intentional space to feel your emotions and allow the issue to process through to Healing.

    Once you allow yourself to fully experience these emotions for the first time, without resistance, you will innately know what path to healing is right for you.

    Wounds are meant to be healed. We are not meant to spend our lives carrying around past issues and hurts. Unhealed issues weigh us down, keep us asleep and prevent us from consciously creating. It is only our personal issues that stop us from experiencing our greatest potential.

    Holding onto issues keeps us limited and unable to reach that mountain top on your ascension path.

    Working on healing your emotional wounds, understanding your triggers and deactivate survival mechanisms, learning how to feed and nourish your body on all levels to release your higher self and Spirit unlocking your innate potential is the key to mastering your energy field.

    Mastery of the Mind Body Spirit teachings returns your power back to you.

  • Great Awakening Aftermath and Overcoming Trauma

    Great Awakening Aftermath and Overcoming Trauma

    Mastery of Emotions

    Conspiracy theory turned out to be fact

    Not just one conspiracy theory but almost every one of them. Many people suffer from cognitive dissonance, as the revelations continue to horrify more and more. The great awakening is a process of recovery from a long and brutal dystopian nightmare. Overcoming Trauma is the prescription and truth is the treatment.

    “We the people” have post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

    Our society and the world we live in has been psychologically damaged by the conspiracy to harm us. It took a couple of years for the balance of facts to tip the scale towards of us “knowing” that something wicked had taken place.

    In the aftermath of the wickedness, the good folks arise together and carry on towards the light of goodness. Marching triumphantly out of the valley of the shadow of death.

    Today was a breakthrough for me because I had been asking myself what I could blog about here on Silicon Palms? How could I help to make the world better, and/or recover faster?

    Admittedly, I am a Digital Soldier and have been on the front line of the information war for a very long time. My awareness of the Deep State Cabal goes back decades but it was the Plandemic that enlisted me as full time Q Patriot. My duty was to know the breaking news and share the truth online, no matter how abhorrent.

    2020 Election Theft Trauma

    The 2020 U.S. Presidential Election was stolen in front of our faces, in real-time “LIVE” for the entire world to witness. Next day the Social Medias uncovered the truth of late night ballot deliveries all over America in the counties the Deep State Cabal needed to win. We were violated in a most despicable fashion.

    The theft of democracy, as I call it, caused massive psychological damage, especially as the longer the crime was allowed to persist. The “Big Lie” caused deep division.

    Overcoming Trauma

    Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.

    American Psychological Association

    With a dis-ease, the first step in recovery is to admit you have an ailment. A disease is a particular abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of all or part of an organism, and that is not immediately due to any external injury.

    Some guidelines to help trauma recovery

    Despondency is a symptom of trauma. You must become aware of your thinking and apply strict rules to what you can and can NOT think about. Also, develop regimes of practice and exercise to divert your attention from negative thought processes.

    Audit your thoughts daily and review your mood swings. Add more outdoor activities to your lifestyle and begin to reduce consumption of digital information. Keep spiritual and uplifting reading material near favourite places to sit and relax.

    Avoid alcohol and unhealthy foods and remain grateful for the presence of God.

  • Thinking in the 5th Dimension

    Thinking in the 5th Dimension

    One of the biggest symptoms of the energetic changes is Cognitive Dissonance (broken thinking).

    The split brain into left and right hemisphere Is brain damage and it’s a result of existing in a third dimensional reality that is trauma based mind control and dark magic that isn’t magic at all – it’s technology and street theater.

    Expanded consciousness or “thinking in the 5th dimension” occurs – it is not due to the individual believing they are “awake”.

    Belief is to accept a lie as true and it’s not based in fact it’s based in Faith which is blind.

    Truth is absolute – to say there is no absolute truth – is in itself an absolute

    Expanded consciousness is a biological change. Your physical vessel changes on the micro and macro scale – the atomic structure changes, the brain integrates into one sphere.

    This is called by the occult – maturation of the embodied soul.

    Others call it ascension, illuminated, enlightened, light body activation, merging with the higher self or over soul, spiritual body merges with the physical body – etc.

    The reason the body is referred to as a temple or a vessel is because consciousness requires a capsule to assimilate – and to embody more consciousness the physical body moves into a higher organized state – it can move from vessel to vessel as it is organized light or holographic in nature – and it does.

    The physical vessel becomes the soul – there is no separation anymore

    It is like a caterpillar making a cocoon and turning to mush before it comes out a butterfly.

    Or coal turning into a diamond under pressure.

    The soul and vessel crystallize into one – and the body can dematerialize and rematerialize to time travel – currently we time travel with our consciousness projected and bring the info back to download into our physicality.

    Individuals that are going through this process or haven’t started are unable to see the bigger picture and think In terms of always or never. Right or wrong and they get trapped arguing over opinions and reality itself – their middle brain with the pineal activation is still dormant so they are still in left or right modes – trapped with their consciousness suspended viewing the past or future and not in the present.

    They think In terms of – the past repeats, if it hasn’t happened it won’t – or of it has happened it will again.

    They do not understand yet how creation operates – or how this 3D reality works.

    That time is events not dates.

    This knowledge is the foundation of this existence – of who they are, where they are, how they got here, where they go when they “die” – etc and it’s all been kept under wraps for the occult to use to their advantage to control the 3D reality.

    There will be events that occur on individual levels and on global levels designed to expand their awareness.

    Our biometric field spins – it expands out and contracts back in

    Every single thing you see does this.

    To expand it further it will contract it smaller – this results in cognitive dissonance and it manifests in the collective reality as division of the left and the right.

    The devil is in the details.

    The big picture is whole or holy – not a fractal.

    When humanity realizes we don’t need to share beliefs – we don’t need to accept lies as truth and agree which ones to accept – people do not argue over truth – they argue over lies they think are true – when they learn that the truth cannot be argued or defended, when they see their own thinking patterns and real eyes that every single argument is over opinion and not what is true – when they become subjective and objective simultaneously, when they innerstand that there is one truth and the truth exists in the present now – then they will become peaceful.

    When one uses the past to try and find truth – they will not find it.

    When one uses the past to try and predict outcomes or futures – they will miss the mark.

    Being in the now – losing linear time is critical

    What is the absolute truth you ask?

    Life is the only thing there is and life is in the present.

    What happens today has nothing to do with yesterday –

    Tomorrow never comes – when it does, it’s today.

    There is no there – once you get there it is here.

  • Sinner’s Prayer

    Sinner’s Prayer

    Sinner’s prayer, also known as the Salvation prayer is said to have converted people just in it’s recital, even though they were not previously believers in Christ. Some folks had no intention of learning if Jesus was the Son of God. Many had never considered if he were raised from the dead, as Christians believe but this prayer changed them forever.

    The Sinner’s prayer takes various forms, all of which have the same general thrust. Since it is considered a matter of one’s personal will, it can be prayed silently, aloud, read from a suggested model, or repeated after someone modelling the prayer role. There is no formula of specific words considered essential, although it usually contains an admission of sin and a petition asking that Jesus enter into the person’s heart (that is to say, the center of their life).

    Sinner’s prayer is sometimes uttered by Christians seeking redemption or reaffirming their faith in Christ during a crisis or disaster, when death may be imminent.

    Sinner’s prayer

    An early version of what some would consider the Sinner’s prayer is found in Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan, published in 1678, Ninth Stage, Chapter 18:

    Hopeful: He bid me go to him and see. Then I said it was presumption. He said, No; for I was invited to come.Mt 11:28 Then he gave me a book of Jesus’ inditing, to encourage me the more freely to come; and he said concerning that book, that every jot and tittle thereof stood firmer than heaven and earth. Mt 24:35 Then I asked him what I must do when I came; and he told me I must entreat upon my knees, Ps 95:6 Dan 6:10 with all my heart and soul, Jer 29:12,13 the Father to reveal him to me. Then I asked him further, how I must make my supplications to him; and he said, Go, and thou shalt find him upon a mercy-seat, where he sits all the year long to give pardon and forgiveness to them that come. I told him, that I knew not what to say when I came; and he bid say to this effect: God be merciful to me a sinner, and make me to know and believe in Jesus Christ; for I see, that if his righteousness had not been, or I have not faith in that righteousness, I am utterly cast away. Lord, I have heard that thou art a merciful God, and hast ordained that thy Son Jesus Christ should be the Savior of the world; and moreover, that thou art willing to bestow him upon such a poor sinner as I am—and I am a sinner indeed. Lord, take therefore this opportunity, and magnify thy grace in the salvation of my soul, through thy Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

    Various other versions of the prayer include:

    Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen.

    — Billy Graham

    Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

    — Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ)

    Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. Amen.

    — Greg Laurie Salvation Prayer

    God our Father, I believe that out of Your infinite love You have created me. In a thousand ways I have shunned Your love. I repent of each and every one of my sins. Please forgive me. Thank You for sending Your Son to die for me, to save me from eternal death. I choose this day to enter into (renew my) covenant with You and to place Jesus at the center of my heart. I surrender to Him as Lord over my whole life. I ask You now to flood my soul with the gift of the Holy Spirit so that my life may be transformed. Give me the grace and courage to live as a disciple in Your Church for the rest of my days. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

    — St. Paul Street Evangelization

    Big Wave by Donavon Frankenreiter

    Donavon Frankenreiter

    From the first strum to the last note, Donavan Frankenreiter had me as a lifetime fan. I might even say that “Big Wave was my favourite song of all time. Once you try this man’s tune on, you may become hooked and learn that he’s been cranking out great music for over two decades.

    The back-story on Donovan is that he’s a California born surfer that moved to Hawaii to become a Pro and along the way met Jack Johnson on Hawaii’s North Shore and began developing his unique style from the heart of the Big Wave culture. It’s no wonder that he’d spawn a huge hit about a Big Wave.

    The article below was rescued from the Wayback Machine and is of an interview of Donovan by Free Surf Magazine, way back in 2010 after the release of his album “Glow”. He provides some excellent insight.

    Flows and Beats: Talking Story with Donavon Frankenreiter

    Donavon Frankenreiter has melded a successful surfing career with an equally fruitful music career. With the release of his new album, “Glow”,
    Donavon set us wise to what role surfing has played in his music, what bands offer the most inspiration, and what we can expect from his latest record.

    Freesurf: Having come from the surfing world, was it a difficult transition to the music industry and the music–business lifestyle?

    Donavon Frankenreiter: It’s definitely two different worlds, but I’ve been lucky enough to start my own label, Liquid Tambourine Records, and release my music that way, which has been a totally different feeling and has given me a little bit more freedom and control.

    Fs: Your first album had a folk-like vibe and you’ve continued to create music with a positive, buoyant sound. Will there be any surprises or new directions on your new album, “Glow”?

    DF: I think that positive feeling I always have shines through on this record, but sonically, this record is like nothing I’ve ever done before. Mark Weinberg, the producer, really helped me take the original acoustic demos and reshape them into completely different songs—different textures, different keyboard sounds, lots of echo and delay on the electric guitars. I’m really, really happy with how it turned out.

    Fs: In the past, you’ve collaborated with artists like Ben Harper and G. Love. How has collaboration inspired you?

    DF: Collaboration is such a great catalyst for creativity. On this record, like I said, I worked with Mark Weinberg. I showed up at his house to do a co-writing session and within 30 minutes we’d written the second song on the album, “Keeping Me Away From You.” Mark went, “Wow, that was quick!” and I asked “does that usually happen?” I asked him to produce the record, we recorded it over three days at Pulse Studios in LA, and I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out. It’s completely different than any record I’ve released.

    Fs: Is there anyone you want to collaborate with?

    DF: The Black Keys, Wilco, Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty.

    Fs: Who are your major inspirations, music-wise and surf-wise?

    DF: Musically, definitely Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Jimi Hendrix. Surf-wise, Tom Curren, Occy, and Kelly Slater, and of course the most influential surfer and my all–time favorite is Andy Irons.

    Fs: Would you say surfing or music is your more creative outlet?

    DF: Both. I’m addicted to both and they are both beautiful outlets.

    Fs: You recently released “Revisited” where you put a Hawaiian spin on your first album. In what ways has living in Hawaii influenced your music?

    DF: The Hawaiian instruments inspired me—I kept hearing them on the island everywhere I went and they were just so beautiful. Every time I was away from home and I heard a slack-key guitar, ukulele, or lap–steel guitar, it reminded me of home. I knew I wanted to incorporate them into my music, so I thought it’d be fun to revisit these songs I did seven years ago and put a Hawaiian twist on them to reflect my new home and my new love for the Hawaiian sound. Those instruments even made it onto some of the songs on “Glow”, too!

    Fs: How does the surf culture influence your music?

    DF: It influences everything I do, in a way. It’s my life and everything that I have learned or obtained has been through surfing and it’s culture.
