All Funked Up

About Me

Music, sweet music I wish I could caress, and-a kiss, kiss
"Smile, breathe and go slowly." --Thich Nhat Hanh
"Our occasional madness is less wonderful than our occasional sanity." --George Santayana
"I have a feeling I'm falling on rare occasions but most of the time I have my feet on the ground - I can't help it if the ground itself is falling." --Lawrence Ferlinghetti
"To make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." --Carl Sagan
"Imagination is not an empirical or superadded power of consciousness, it is the whole of consciousness as it realizes its freedom." --Jean-Paul Sartre
"One's condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one's being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness -- the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others." --Norman Mailer
