Social Rock Climbing. Juxtaposed personal realities.
Pop Monty Python on the dvd player, turn down the sound and listen to this interesting link and that could give you an imaginative sample of my tunnel-reality (you must have WinAmp or other Shoutcast-enabled player to listen - choose 'open').
I practice a form of post-Gurdjieffian sufism which propels one into self-actualization through the hypostases of enneagram progression.
Which basically means that I can juggle...
Bruce Cockburn, but socially as I think he'd probably have more to tell me than his music often betrays. Bruce has been my biggest musical influence and I have to say honestly that since I've listened to him without pause since I was 16, he has also shaped the point of view I've taken of the world - so meeting him would be a nice rounding-out of the path he's anonymously led me down. Timothy Leary one more time. Ahh man...he's dead... Well, David Suzuki would be an interesting fellow to shake hands with. I'd like to play Bach's tocatta and fugue in D minor on Stephen Hawking's voxbox just to see what that might provoke. (Note to the Outer Head Of the Illuminati Calvin Mann: "Freakin' C_______s!"). Actually, I met Tim Leary once on an elevator and got a contact high... Actually, the Outer Head Of The Illuminai, Calvin Mann was there when it happened and I think he fell over from all the acid he ingested from proximity to my proximity to Tim Leary in the Elevator. But Stephen Hawking wasn't there - that was a different SciFi convention and that guy wasn't really Stephen Hawking, he just thought he was and we could all see right through that pretender...
Here's a really cool Ween video
