Epic Times are Essential for Evolution®

About Me


Many moons ago, with the stars misaligned, I came to this world, full of wonder and many questions. I was an odd duck (er..Goose) with a rebellious spirit, a sweet disposition and an above average winky. I grew up in the lush suburbs of Eagan, Minnesota. It twas a happy youth, bright and blue with my head clear in the clouds, hovering over a hazy, drunken moon. I ventured off to Emerson College were I learned to speak fluent Bostonese and found my calling card for all that is epic. Between falling in love and getting lost a few times in Europe, my destiny began to beckon me like two baffled playmates on a divine teeter-totter. I twas to go to LA and follow those dreamy, drunken clouds, or live a life of a noble Amish man who is good to his wife and churns butter with quiet dignity. I chose LA. It was fun while it lasted but decided to do a full circle and come back to where it all began and now I am here in all it's suburban, swanky glory- feeling alive and full that same ol starry eyed wonder when I first looked upon this silly world. Pondering those same epic questions. Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere there is a dream, dreaming us -Kalahari San Bushman saying

Learn to wish that everything should come to pass exactly as it does.-Epictetus
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 thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes .."Awww!.." -Jack Kerouac
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. -Douglas H. Everett
I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then - whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me - ever. -Jim Morrison

Heroes:


"Meet me in Montauk."-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindMy role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel.

What's not? That's what I do in my act, test how other people deal with reality. -Andy KaufmanFrom my obscurity came forth a light and illumined my path -Kahlil GibranI believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown. -Jim MorrisonSelf realization is nothing new to be acquired. It is already here, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. -Ramana MaharshiLife is a canvas on which we paint our reality. The canvas is All Possibility and the brush and pallet are called ‘belief’. -David IckeA dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. -John LennonNo matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today. -BuddhaActually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs. -Jim MorrisonIf the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. -William BlakeI see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then - whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me - ever. -Jim MorrisonThe 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 thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" -Jack Kerouac...even the enlightened person remains what he is, and is never more than his own limited ego before the One who dwells within him, whose form has no knowable boundaries, who encompasses him on all sides, fathomless as the abysms of the earth and vast as the sky. -C. G. JungAs usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot. -John Lennon....>
