Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves

About Me

*I'm Chris (or Knibby) or both.. I play bass. I like most kinds of music. I like watchin bands play. I'm not in a band at the moment because i'm too busy trying to be a lawyer. I have to look for a "career" now that I can't hide in education any longer. I think i'd make a good lawyer cos i'm good at arguing but I would like to see a world where people don't have to argue. I kinda speak my mind, tell it like it is and really don't suffer fools. Some people don't like it but I reckon that's their problem. I'm not a bad guy really....... . I might take up zen buddhism cos I agree with what I have read about it. I like the idea of trying to silence your mind. Its harder than it sounds. You've got to think about not thinking.. is that a paradigm? It has yoga built in too so there would be no obese folk. I think ALL religions should meet up, choose the best bits from each one and form one Super-Mega-Power-Faith that everyone can relate to. That should solve a lot of problems around the world.. in theory. The problem would be the people who don't like change and are used to their gold-plated churches and influence over people... old age will take care of them one day and OUR generation will be in charge. Bill Hicks said : "I love the Pope, I love seeing him in his Pope-Mobile, his three feet of bullet proof plexi-glass. That's faith in action folks! You know he's got God on his side.” I agree with his sarcasm. . Ranting is good. Much better than getting beered up and starting fights with someone smaller than you (which seems to be getting more common).. .*Last year I lived in Sheffield with Gemma (is a peach!) and 5 girls who are cool and are pictured below. I'm back in Warrington for a while now..meh.. . Sarah, Emma, Gemma. . Sarah and Sam. . Sarah, Sam, Emma, Helen, Sarah. .homemade cocktails mess with your head! . . .Morrey the Giraffe! only seen at night when the booze is flowing.. . .we have good adventures (as you can see). we even have a tavern at the end of the road! its a bit like the King and Queen. local for local people... but its friendly. one of the girls i live with is sarah. she plays guitar. check out the pistachios on my friends list. its her and her mate. apparently, they've just done a bob dylan and gone electric............ . *i like these NOFX lyrics a lot: . lost the battle, lost the war, lost the things worth living for, lost the will to win the fight, one more pill to kill the pain. (na na na na na....) . the going gets tough, the tough get debt, don't pay attention, pay the rent. our next of kins pay for your sins. a little faith should keep us safe. . human existence is failing, resistance essential, the future, written off. the odds are astronomically against us. only moron and genius would fight a losing battle against the super ego, when giving in is so damn comforting . and so we go on with our lives, we know the truth but prefer lies. lies are simple. simple is bliss. why go against tradition when we can admit defeat? live in decline. be the victims of our own design. with status quo, built on suspect, why would anyone stick out their neck? . fellow members of club 'we've got ours', i'd like to introduce you to our host. he's got his and i've got mine, meet the decline. . - Fat Mike is clever. LISTEN TO THIS SONG!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!. ..

My Interests

the usual. watching, listening to, playing music. drinking. having fun. i've been to the Leeds Festival for the last 5 years (not including 2006 cos it was too emo). thats always fun. the riots last year were a bit much tho. some people don't even see the lines they cross. at least me and ben got to proper scream at some southern shandy drinkers that were throwin stuff at security from our campsite instead of their own. on the downside me and Gemma slept like hobo's in the "welfare tent" which was actually just a field cos so many people had their tents trashed the proper tent was full. still, the rest of the weekend was ace as always..... all leeds fun!!!. . . MY OFFICIAL LEGAL ADVICE is that you read this website if you eat or drink anything with aspartame in, eg diet coke!. . www.dorway.com/badnews.html . you are most likely poisoning yourself and feeding a tumour in your head....

I'd like to meet:

Bill Hicks!!!! i would give almost anything to meet that man. completely honest genius. also, everyone who cares about the difference between right and wrong, and fairness, in the same place at the same time. see how many of those are actually left. there are no human enemies, only the fear. pepsi the kitten!!

Music:

watch Matt Freeman play Maxwell Murder! The dude is a punk rock GOD! . (PAUSE THEM SO THEY CAN LOAD FIRST...).. ....Screw the Jackson 5. The Wootens are the musical family you wanna be born into. Watch Victor and Reggie duel it out! You cannot beat these 2 for talent! .. .... .You can't beat Primus either... .. .... .. .... . i'm not listing bands. no way. if you know me, you know my music taste is wide. the only common theme is good musicians and bass lines... usually. fat mike, matt freeman, flea, victor wooten and les claypool gives you an idea.. here are a few of the bands i've seen.... .

Movies:

The Star Wars films might be among my favourite films but i'm not quite into them as much as these guys. some people have too much spare time. i would like a real lightsaber tho. that would be fun. .. ....

Books:

i like books quite a lot. i've lost count of how many i've read. i've read some more than once. knowledge is power and all that...

Heroes:

Bill Hicks: . “They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.” . "If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn them.” . "The worst kind of non-smokers are the ones that come up to you and cough. That's pretty fucking cruel isn't it? Do you go up to cripples and dance too?” . "No, I don't do drugs anymore, either. But I'll tell you something about drugs. I used to do drugs, but I'll tell you something honestly about drugs, honestly, and I know it's not a very popular idea, you don't hear it very often anymore, but it is the truth: I had a great time doing drugs. Sorry. Never murdered anyone, never robbed anyone, never raped anyone, never beat anyone, never lost a job, a car, a house, a wife or kids, laughed my ass off, and went about my day.” . "The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey – don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because – it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.” . "I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'” . I love the movies, love 'em. Now, I'm watching Terminator 2 the other day, and I'm thinking to myself: They cannot top the stunts in this film, they cannot top this shit, unless … they start using terminally ill people as stunt people in feature films … well, hear me out, 'cause I know to a lot of you this may seem a little cruel. "Aww, Bill, terminally ill stunt people? That's cruel!" You know what "I think's cruel? Leaving your loved ones to die in a hospital room surrounded by strangers. Fuck that! Put 'em in the movies! What, you wanna let your grandmother live out her last days in a sterile hospital room, with translucent skin so thin you can see her last heartbeat work its way down her blue veins? Or do you want her to meet Chuck Norris?" . "A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a fucking cross?" . "People come up to me and say, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Well, it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile." "Yeah, you know it takes more energy to point that out than it does to leave me alone?" . "You know, if you play New Kids on the Block albums backwards … they sound better. Gives them that edge they're missing, puts some fucking hair on their balls. "Come on, Bill, they're the New Kids. They're so good and so clean-cut and they're such a good image for the children." Fuck that! When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? I want my children to listen to people who fucking rocked! I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit. I want someone who plays from his fucking heart!" . "Do you all have different books in the Bible than I do? Are you all Gideons? Who are the fucking Gideons? Ever met one, no! Ever seen one, no! But they're all over the fucking world, putting Bibles in hotel rooms! Every one of them: "This Bible was placed here by a Gideon." When? I've been here all day and I ain't seen shit! I saw the housekeeper come and go, I saw the minibar guy come and go, I've never laid eyes on a fucking Gideon! What are they, ninjas? Where are they? Where are they from? Gidea? Who the fuck are these people?! I'm gonna capture a Gideon." . "I was over in Australia, and everyone's like: "Are you proud to be an American?" And I was like, "Um, I don't know, I didn't have a lot to do with it. You know, my parents fucked there, that's about all. I hate patriotism, I can't stand it. It's a round world last time I checked." . "Folks: It's time to evolve ideas. You know, evolution didn't end with us growing thumbs. You do know that, right? Didn't end there. We're at the point, now, where we're going to have to evolve ideas. The reason the world is so fucked up is we're undergoing evolution. And the reason our institutions, our traditional religions, are all crumbling, is because … they're no longer relevant. They're no longer relevant. So it's time for us to create a new philosophy and perhaps even a new religion, you see. And that's okay 'cause that's our right, 'cause we are free children of God with minds who can imagine anything, and that's kind of our role." . "I'm sorry if anyone here is Catholic. I'm not sorry if you are offended, I'm actually sorry – just the fact that you're Catholic. Gotta be one of the most ludicrous fucking beliefs ever. Like these vampire priests sink their twin fangs of guilt and sin into you as a child and suck your joy of life out of you the rest of your fucking existence. The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, isn't it? Believe or die! "Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options." . "Wouldn't you like to see a positive LSD story on the news? To hear what it's all about, perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting? Just for once? "Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration … that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." . pure genius and way ahead of his time.
