if you can't change your mind, are you sure you still have one?

About Me

I appreciate the absurd, the beautiful, the struggle, the everyday, the laughter, the beginnings, the dim light, the inside, the tears, the afterglow, the silliness, the differences, the end.

I know there is an energy that most of us don't tap into. I know that if even just a little of that energy was reigned in, we could light the sky with electricity and wake the others. I know life can be difficult and without that, it would be static. I know I'm being too heavy, yet I don't want to stop. But.. I will... for now.

My Interests

Peace, honesty, experience. Moving hips. Sweet lips. Creating something from nada. Making music. Words. Can't get enough of them, although, they are not enough. Art. Expression. Compassion.

I'd like to meet:

About this "top friend" thing... since a good amount of the friends i have here are musicians/artists, i want to do what i can to help spread the sound, the vibe, SOOOO... my top friends will be switched up from time to time. I also plan on changing them sometimes based on what I want to see when I come to my page. Some images attract me more than others, eh? Anyway, that's the dealio. Everyone can be a top friend on MYcrazyspace!!

Music:

Where oh where to begin? How about here...almost anything downtempo; slow and bass-heavy, music from my punk days, music from my rave nights, old reggae/ska, dub. david bowie was my first love. the police; my first concert in '79. belly dancing music, ethiopian music... some musicians who come to mind.. dead can dance, emiliana torrini, the associates, jeff buckley, bjork, qms, boozoo bajou, billie holiday, hugo montenegro, francoise hardy, bob marley, morrissey, tosca, herb alpert, serge gainsbourg, bassbin twins, the the, ravel, prodigy, astrud gilberto, steel pulse, meat beat manifesto, coldcut, baaba maal, jack dangers, pole, koop, a forest mighty black, aster aweke, funky porcini, aphex twin, dennis brown, etc, etc, etc...

Movies:

Off the top of me little haid:
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Me and You and Everyone We Know
Bladerunner
More later...

Books:

Yes.. I have quite a few. I should probably read one of 'em.

Heroes:

People who sacrifice their personal time to better our world. People who push through the every day muck of life. People who see the big picture.

In Honor of Father's Day...

A co-worker asked me "When is father's day?" and i had no clue. I realized i'd not thought of father's day for, well, forever. My father passed away at the young age of 38, when I was 8 years old. My ...
