Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

About Me

Raised in the sprawling suburban wastelands of the upper north side of Phoenix, Spending younger years training under the ancient masters of PBS (see MR Rogers, wallace and ladmo, Sesame Street), learning the esoteric language of harmony and rhythm. Now, embarking on the path to slay the demons Mr.Ignorance and Dr.Ego. Enjoys canyon exploration and ruin hunting. Long walks through the desert. Surveying the panoramic views a mountain top brings. Walking meditation on a forest trail. Teaches piano and bass lessons. Plays many instruments. Sometimes uses the force to play multiple instruments simultaneously. At times a difficulty is reached at distinguishing 'real' memories from dream memories. Attempts to practice lucidity when exploring this dream state whether awake or asleep.

My Interests

"People who speak do not know, people who know do not speak"

I'd like to meet:

The UnDumb. Maybe somebody who can eat their own head. Or a being from the twin star system of Sirius B. Maybe re-meet my friends that live in the Pleiadian Constellation. Resonant harmonies.

Music:

Outside noise. Running water. White static. Wilderness ambience. The deafening sound of silence. AUM. Assorted bands both obscure and non obscure. Ask if interested. Probably my band ANTEDOTE too.

Movies:

Opening my eyes I look around at the movie that unfolds before my eyes moment by moment. Many people including me forget that we are just actors saying lines and acting our little parts. There are sprinklings of tragedy, happiness, and various other dualistic elements. And of course there is always yacht rock...

Television:

For inspiration:
The Office(UK).Mr Show.Venture Bros.Metalocalypse

Books:

Currently Reading: The Illuminatus! trilogy. Read if you feel a bit sane. It will cure you with a bit of insanity mixed with tea and crumpets.

Heroes:

Buddha, Milarepa, Babaji, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, Jesus Christ, Krishna, Zen Master Seung Sahn, the world, you, your mom...When there's nobody home. The Dali Lama says Om.

In regards to the concept of evil.

Evil has no source, unless the source of evil's seeming be ignoranceitself. Still, it is good to fear unrighteousness. The ignorant complain,justify, fear and criticize "sinful deeds," setting themsel...

Retreat Playlist

Away on my 10 days of silence, sitting alone in a room, deep concentration. Some people wrestle with manic rivers of thought, too preoccupied with attainment or the coming meal. A musical disposition...
