Passion, Entropy, Energy, Exchange. Really don't mind if you sit this one out...My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout. These are our days now...These are not the same now....These are our days.
People, all people, good people; with an intense passion for the core of what I believe "it" is all about...living, god damn it. That's not too much ask, is it? If so, color me crazy and send me away. I also enjoy watching the sun rise- after being up all night, sand covering your mushroom-infested mind, a river at dawn, or dusk, or midday, crying with your brothers, laughing with your sisters, hugging your enemy, and the smell of the earth on my lover's body...Pheremones, baby, better believe it.You know, a good friend once told me that things are just things...and every "thing" is a tool. It is my mission to identify and utilize as many tools as possible in this crazy world. When you find a tool that is both inspiring and productive, hold on to that m'n'f'er with everything you've got...but leave room in your tool belt. My tool belt is heavy...but wide open, if you've got something to add................
