Lately: Desperate for travel, adventure and instability; Missing my distant USA & European friends & counterparts.
Shattering the illusion of individualism & the secular/materialist brainwashing of the so-called "separation" between all living things. I'm interested in harnessing "one-ness" and the cosmic link between us all and engaging wholly in the struggle to develop a pure, unconditional love for all humans, animals and plants.
Hydration & balanced vegan diet, Meditation, chanting & Hare Krishna... Living a blissful paradox and dressing like a borderline schizophrenic. Always: Travel, Kumites, Playing shows, DJ'ing 45's, Be-ins, Radicalism and fringe culture/counterculture, Coast to Coast AM, Alaska, touring & traveling Europe, Veganism and vegan cooking, digging for vinyl, making comrades, Thrift Stores, total freeks & (particularly) people with something to say.
I'd like to meet:
me in the year 2025.
