Make art to me....

About Me

Hi everyone! My name is Lane, AKA, Skamoosh. Skamoosh is a name my dad made up for me when I was a kid. I come from a family of musicians - my dad is a bass player for the band Heartsfield, my mom is a poet and writer, my brother plays guitar for the band Enter Assailant, my uncle plays bass for Easy Louise, and my grandma is a writer for the musician's union paper, as well as a singer and standup bass player. As for me, I sing, write songs, play piano, compose, produce, dance, act, write poetry, etc. My music page is www.myspace.com/laneeddington.I was raised on art, music and health food and everyone around me is creative in some way. Because of this, I think it's kind of my calling to help people find their creativity. I really love helping people and I find that it's easy when you care about your fellow man.I'm also an activist. I think anyone who is a thinking person, IS an activist by definition. I don't begrudge you if you don't want to be a part of that, but I do post bulletins now and again about the causes I care about. Feel free to ask questions, tell me I'm wrong, or say "fuck off" if you want, but I'm not changin'.One more thing... in my profile under "religion" it says "Scientologist". I really am one. It helps my life, helps me rise above the bullshit, helps me be "me" and create art. So, if you have a question about it, feel free to ask and I will honestly a completely answer you. Or, you can read our Creed here: The Creed of the Church of Scientology

I'd like to meet:

I like people who are spiritual, musical, funny, literary, ecclectic, eccentric.... people who like Cherry Garcia ice cream... people who make fun of themselves... believe there is more to life than what you see on the news... people who give a damn... people who have soul... people with weird hair.... people who believe we are all connected.... people who are searching for answers... people who care more about their integrity than their bank account.... people who are obsessed with poetry and music.... people who are into health food.... people who believe in past lives... people who can't believe this is all there is.My favorite people in the universe are artists, but I find that anyone who is out of the ordinary IS an artist even if they don't think they are. You don't have to paint pictures in order to be an artist... If you are a liver of life, a liver of beauty, a singer, a songwriter, a soul-searcher, a seer, a poet, a dancer, an actor, someone who has beautiful dreams, then you are an artist.Oh and I love people who make me laugh. I like silly goofy funny ridiculous bastards who never shut up. On the opposite end (I'm all about opposites), people who are dedicated beyond reasonableness to saving our human rights, saving the planet, saving our sanity, etc. People who put their heart, and their art, on the line.I also would like to meet other people who share my views that psychiatry is a pseudo-science. Then again you might share my views after watching this:

Through rare historical and contemporary footage and interviews with more than 160 doctors, attorneys, educators, survivors and experts on the mental health industry and its abuses, this riveting documentary blazes the bright light of truth on the brutal pseudoscience and the multi-billion dollar fraud that is psychiatry.
