the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!"---Jack
Because revolution in our culture has always represented an attack on hierarchy, it has always meant upheaval--literally a heaving up from below. But upheaval has no role to play in moving beyond civilization. If the plane is in trouble, you don't shoot the pilot, you grab a parachute and jump. To overthrow the hierarchy is pointless; we just want to leave it behind.---Quinn
"I did not know I loved you until I heard myself telling so, for one instance I thought, "Good God, what have I said?" and then I knew it was true." Bertrand Russell
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. Umberto Eco
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself." Thomas Paine
"Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it "creative observation." Creative viewing." W.S.Burroughs
"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something." Henry David Thoreau
"You are captives of a civilization that more or less compels you to go on destroying the world in order to live. You are captives and you have made a captive of the world itself. If you don't discover what's keeping you in, the will to get out soon becomes confused and ineffectual.
Ishmael in Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." Philip K. Dick
"The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion." Thomas Paine
"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward." Kurt Vonnegut
"I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system." Noam Chomsky
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. Albert Camus
"There lies before us, if we choose, continued progress in happiness, knowledge and wisdom. Shall we instead choose death because we can not forget our quarrels? I appeal as a human being to human beings. Remember your humanity and forget the rest. If you can do so the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death."---Bertrand Russell
"You don't have to "go somewhere" to get beyond civilization. You have to make your living a different way." Daniel Quinn
"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.-Chuck Palahniuk

My Interests

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words"---Philip K Dick

"America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting." ---William S. Burroughs

"A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy." ---Aldous Huxley

"The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse. If you go to Bosnia or Somalia or Peru or much of the third-world then it appears that the apocalypse has already arrived.---Terence McKenna

"I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration ---Timothy Leary

"Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception." ---George Orwell

I'd like to meet:

The Invisibles, The Change Agents, The Super Sexy, and You; so send me a message.

"I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex." ---Bertrand Russell

"You're about to be told one more time that you're America's most valuable natural resource. Have you seen what they do to valuable natural resources? Have you seen a strip mine, have you seen a clear cut in the forest, have you seen a polluted river? Don't ever let them call you a valuable natural resource. They're going to strip mine your soul. They're going to clear cut your best thoughts for the sake of profit unless you learn to resist. Because the profit system follows the path of least resistance and following the path of least resistance is what makes a river crooked!" ---Utah Phillips

Sit in Tribal Effigy

Wasting time sitting still
the years of Addiction
and Gravity’s kill
the Impact harsh
the needle pushes Through
the Flow immense
Odor free

She comes in
With an ambitious smirk
Naked you see her bones
Raw and pure
Her addiction is not the same
It matters not
This could be the thing
Or we’ll pretend it is anyways

Three days later
She says goodnight
Your smiles insincere
With scotch stained teeth
If you dream you won’t know

The years pass
You almost think of her
Wasting time sitting still

Movies:

----------Paul Muad'Dib------------------------------ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Television:

The Mighty Boosh is coming beware the Mod Wolves

Books:

"We can't wait for our national leaders to save us. When all we demand from them (or even tolerate from them) are instant, short-term gains, why would they suddenly begin thinking like global visionaries?" from---Beyond Civilization by Daniel Quinn

Heroes:

---Needing heroes is like needing God both can be inspirational and fulfilling which means they can also be dangerous.

Vision is the flowing river. Programs are sticks set in the riverbed to impede the flow. What I'm saying is that the world will not be saved by people with programs. If the world is saved, it will be saved because the people living in it have a new vision." Daniel Quinn
