About Me


You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
What can I say? I'm a Yippie freak stuck in a capitalist world that hides in its own ignorance to avoid the truth of almost all matters. I'd rather live in my car than in my house. I'd rather be outside in a rainstorm stuck in mud than inside watching TV. I'd rather starve than eat anymore artificial sugar or pesticides. In fact, I'll probably eat out of a dumpster before I ever walk into a McDonald's again. I'd rather be poor than have to worry about having money. I'd rather be alone than pretend to be interested in people's mundane problems. I prefer dancing down the street to walking. I enjoy acting bizarre just to make people ask questions. I'd rather talk to a bum than a business man, because at least the bum has a mind and experiences worth talking about. I'd rather explore the universe, the meaning of life, and why we are here on my own than go to church and have someone tell me. I prefer the writings of Einstein to the Best Selling novel of the moment. I'm spending a fortune on an education just to make almost nothing working for charities instead of finding myself some high-powered career. I think every human should study all of the world religions before declaring themselves as something. I would go to prison for speaking my mind before I would bow to normalcy. I have an affinity for the strange, the bizarre, and the "ugly". If you're into the normal, then you're probably in the wrong place...

"So what appeal to this kind of life is there really? To the neo-phyte, imagine a way of life where you are not bound by time schedules, homeowner bills, job expectations, the IRS. You can live where you want, sleep where you want, travel wherever you want as long as it's in the continental US and Canada. Never pay a travel fare unless you want to, never pay rent, electric, gas, water, or cable bills, never pay taxes, and see places in the US and Canada others only see in the movies, or in a magazine. Sound like the lifestyle of Bill Gates, or Donald Trump? Well hundreds of folks live that kind of life every day - in fact that kind of life/culture has been going on since just after Americas' Civil War. A lifestyle/culture so sweet, so addictive, so seductive, so intoxicating - that those of us who retire after 20, 30, even 40 years are never really free of it. Because Lady Freedom has gotten too far in our blood to have gotten rid of her completely. Freedom, complete freedom, and the ability to pursue that ultimate free life, and the vehicle to propel you on such a quest, and a constitutionally based right to free movement. It's truly a drug, a greasy steely drug that once it gets in your blood it's there for good, and no matter how you've retired, no matter how much you deny it, you'll never be free of it." ~courtesy of hobo.com

You Are an Old Soul
You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.
You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone.
But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?

My Interests


THOUGHTS FROM WITHIN by Woody Harrelson

I sometimes feel like an alien creature
for which there is no earthly explanation
Sure I have human form
walking erect and opposing digits,
but my mind is upside down.
I feel like a run-on sentence
in a punctuation crazy world.
and I see the world around me
like a mad collective dream.

An endless stream of people
move like ants from the freeway
cell phones, pc's, and digital displays
"In Money We Trust,"
we'll find happiness
the prevailing attitude;
like a genetically modified irradiated Big Mac
is somehow symbolic of food.

Morality is legislated
prisons over-populated
religion is incorporated
the profit-motive has permeated all activity
we pay our government to let us park on the street
And war is the biggest money-maker of all
we all know missile envy only comes from being small.

Politicians and prostitutes
are comfortable together
I wonder if they talk about the strange change in the weather.
This government was founded by, of, and for the people
but everybody feels it
like a giant open sore
they don't represent us anymore
And blaming the President for the country's woes
is like yelling at a puppet
for the way it sings
Who's the man behind the curtain pulling the strings?

A billion people sitting watching their TV
in the room that they call living
but as for me
I see living as loving
and since there is no loving room
I sit on the grass under a tree
dreaming of the way things used to be
Pre-Industrial Revolution
which of course is before the rivers and oceans, and skies were polluted

before Parkinson's, and mad cows
and all the convoluted cacophony of bad ideas
like skyscrapers, and tree paper, and earth rapers
like Monsanto and Dupont had their way
as they continue to today.

This was Pre-us
back when the buffalo roamed
and the Indian's home
was the forest, and God was nature
and heaven was here and now
Can you imagine clean water, food, and air
living in community with animals and people who care?

Do you dare to feel responsible for every dollar you lay down
are you going to make the rich man richer
or are you going to stand your ground
You say you want a revolution
a communal evolution
to be a part of the solution
maybe I'll be seeing you around

I'd like to meet:

Anyone willing to start a drum circle on my back porch or in my kitchen, spontaneously burst into song and dance routines in public in a group - ala West Side Story, help me start a community arts-based non-profit in my hometown, let me have drum circles on their property for free and at no liability, let me use their lawnmower, give me an electric dryer, is also trying to raise a child with the hippie consciousness in a society that doesn't accept it, OR is addicted to "Lost", as well as... Every single person in this video!!!!

'What will your obituary say?' at QuizGalaxy.com

Music:

Is there any such thing as bad music?

Actually, "jam bands" and the psychedelic era have created some of the best music ever, and by far qualify as my favorites. I also love me some blues, and anything with a bass line, including some harder stuff. I like - literally - all music, though. I have been musically inclined my entire life, and there is nothing like music to soothe the soul.

Movies:


See what became of the hippest church to ever appear in a movie!

I love when you can watch an entire movie intently, study every word of the dialogue, every move of the characters, and at the end, you are still not sure you saw and heard everything. Some of my favorites are Alice's Restaurant (obviously), The Wizard of Oz, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Easy Rider, Trainspotting, Alice in Wonderland, Fear and Loathing, Star Wars, all the Muppet movies, everything Cheech and Chong, The Princess Bride, The Crow...

Television:

I don't watch TV anymore.I miss Lost and the Family Guy, and I miss watching Adult Swim. Mostly, though, I recommend getting rid of it.

Books:



On The Road and The Grapes of Wrath are two of my favorites, and also The Catcher in the Rye and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I've loved to read since I was a small child, so the list of books I like is too long to mention. The top books on my list would be The Bible, East of Eden, Alice in Wonderland, The Sneetches (Dr. Seuss) The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, Steal This Book, Dharma Bums, Hamlet (I know, it's a play...get over it), anything by Edgar Allen Poe, and on and on...

Heroes:

Abbie Hoffman, Rob Kampia, Jerry Garcia and all of those who were part of the "Merry Pranksters"

My Blog

I'm calling you politicians and political hopefuls out

I want you all to pay CLOSE ATTENTION to what we the people ARE TRYING SO DESPERATELY TO TELL YOU. So far, you have silenced us throughout all of history. Well guess what? My generation is that proble...
