About Me

For those of you who have not met me, I am known as "Bedarka" Sam. This is convenient when I need an alias, which I haven't needed yet. But when the time comes, I'll be ready.
"Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further... So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
-The Great Gatsby.
"It may be in the cultural particularities of people- in their oddities- that some of the most instructive revelations of what it is to be generically human are to be found." -Clifford Geertz
"O nobly born, listen carefully:
At this point you can become aware of the wave structure of the world around you.
Everything you see dissolves into energy vibrations.
Look closely and you will tune in on the electric dance of energy.
There are no longer things and persons but only the direct flow of particles.
Consciousness will now leave your body and flow into the stream of wave rhythm.
All interpretations are the products of your own mind. Dispel them. Have no fear."
-The Psychedelic Experience

    Failed Goldfish Adventure

    Hmm.... The Five Commandents of the Pentabarf.
