About Me

I've been playing music for a long time. I have 2 CDs under my belt (perhaps I should find a better place for them;), and enough music for a couple more, but I'm tired of staring at Digital Performer for hours on end. I play drums, guitar, piano, bass, and occasionally lap steel and harmonica. I haven't been writing much music lately, having been too absorbed with my other interests such as agate hunting, the raw food diet, and photography. I'm also interested in the machinations of the "New World Order", so to speak. I feel blessed to have come across the research of some great thinkers like David Icke, Jim Marrs, Jordan Maxwell, Michael Tsarion, Jeff Rense, Fintan Dunne, Webster Tarpley, etc., who have each expanded my awareness tremendously, and have helped me to better understand the power behind the throne. While I don't agree with everything that they have to say, I've finally come to a place where I can look at that information without having to obsess about it, or let it put me in a fearful/angry/daunted/hyper-reactive mindspace. I'm trying more to be "in the world but not of it", i.e., aware of the polarities of life, but making decisions based more on what I feel in my heart, rather than in response to external stimuli or disjointed mental chatter. Getting into the raw food lifestyle has helped me with this immensely, as I've discovered that superfoods such as raw cacao, goji berries, spirulina, hemp seed, medicinal mushrooms, and ORMUS, etc., are truly natures prozac, and there's nothing in the medical world that can touch them, in terms of their mental/physical/spiritual benefits. In the raw/health food movement, my heros are David Wolfe, Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Truth Calkins, Peter Ragnar, and the Boutenko family. Their collective knowledge/wisdom/joi de vivre is unbounded and contagious. Some other heroes of mine are the great thinkers/inventors whose (re)emerging ideas may truly end up transforming the planet for the better, hopefully forever: Nikola Tesla, Viktor Schauberger, Terence and Dennis McKenna, Dr. Royal Rife, Wilhelm Reich, Rudolph Steiner, Dr. Maynard Murray, Marshall McLuhan, Richard Alan Miller, and Marco Rodin. Some other heros of mine are the comedians Bill Hicks (RIP), Doug Stanhope, and Dave Chappelle- my "go-to" guys who see the world for what it is, and aren't afraid to call it like they see it.

My Half-Baked Comedy Stylings

A couple years ago, I was considering trying my hand (and/or other appendages) at stand-up comedy. I finally came to the conclusion that I was more angry than funny, unlike my comedy hero Bill Hicks,...

Holiday Ramblings

On the day after Thanksgiving, I arrived at work (i.e., my new job at Nordstrom in the Mall of America) to find xmas/holiday tunes blaring out of the store speakers. This was no surprise, of course,...

The Lost Weekend

I was just thinking that last Saturday was the anniversary of John Lennon's death, and while I forgot about it at the time, somewhere in my subconscious I must have remembered, because my friend Corey...

Giving Thanks

Today I'm giving thanks for this year's Thanksgiving. I was quite apprehensive about presenting "the new me" to my family on the most food-centric holiday of the year, as well as worried that I would...

RAWkin’ on...

RAW seems to be the defining attribute of my life lately. Not only am I eating a raw food diet, but in my life as a photographer, I also shoot in the RAW format! Furthermore, I've just recently been...

RAWESOME!

The last month or so has been interesting- I began living on mostly raw and living foods, and have had what I can only describe as a religious experience. Well, perhaps that's a bit strong, but I can...

Tears of Joy

A dirty little secret I've been keeping is the real reason my guitar hasn't graced the stage for a while: These days, music can bring me tears almost effortlessly. I can't control it, but also don't...

Blunt as can be

So I'm walking towards the pizza aisle of my local grocery store late last night, and I hear this annoying voice coming from the ceiling. I didn't know who it was at the time (turns out it's James Bl...
