About Me

I choose my profile song carefully so absorb it
---------------------------------------------------------
I am up way too late after reading way too much, Boards of Canada is like my church.
---------------------------------------------------------
Fractals make everything make sense.
---------------------------------------------------------
Pretty even tempered, hardly anything truly offends me (except for gross overconsumption, unsustainable practices, religious intolerance and my government's jacked priority list and current hard-on for blowing up brown people.)
I love where I live with my family, life is good. Everyday I am grateful that we are here luxuriating in this part of the world.
I cuss, so if you are offended by certain arrangements of letters, don't read my blogs.
All my "about me" detailed stuff is in blog form up above, in the early entries.

Words to live by:
"The fact is, what I hated in the Church was that I hated in society. Namely, authoritarians. Power freaks. Rigid dogmatists. Those greedy, underloved, undersexed twits who want to run everything. While the rest of us are busy living--busy tasting and testing and hugging and kissing and goofing and growing--they are busy taking over. Soon their sour tentacles are around everything: our governments, our economies, our schools, our publications, our arts and our religious institutions. Men who lust for power, who are addicted to laws and other unhealthy abstractions, who long to govern and lead and censor and order and reward and punish; those men are the turds of Moloch, men who don't know how to love, men who are sickly afraid of death and therefore are afraid of life: they fear all that is chaotic and unruly and free-moving and changing-- they fear nature and fear life itself, they deny life and in so deny God. They are presidents and governors and mayors and generals and police officers and chairmen-of-the-boards. They are crafty cardinals and fat bishops and mean old monsignor masturbators. They are the most frightened and most frightening mammals who prowl the planet; loveless, anal-compulsive control-freak authoritarians, and they are destroying everything that is wise and beautiful and free. And the most enormous ironic perversion is how they destroy in the name of Christ who is peace and God who is love."
Tom Robbins - Another Roadside Attraction
"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
Mario Savio
