About Me

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Oh Hell Yes, I Just Love Cycling Maui!!! Mt. Haleakala volcano, breathtaking! When I'm down I think of this ride.Etienne: pronounced atyen-I'm a Louisiana native. I escaped to West Virginia for college, met some great friends, heard and made some great music and oh yes, the Army. I had a all ages club in Morgantown called the Machine Shop with 2 other cool cats for about a year which was one of the greatest years. Music is a deep passion of mine and the Machine shop along with the Mo'town scene fed itand gave me the opportunity to book my friends and their bands as well as my own Band and acts from all over the US. I'm a veteran of the first Gulf War and a teacher of peace. While in Germany after I was evac'd an Army Officer suggested I try medical cannabis after being strung out on pain medication. I did and it worked for me. In 92 I was kicked out of the Army for a positive urinalysis for THC. I thought this was unfair, got angry and motivated and I got involved in cannabis politics and have been there since. I got pissed off that I had to make my friends into criminals to get the medication I needed. I was able to travel thru 47 states doing rallies, teach-ins and tours as a director for the Cannabis Action Network. In '99 I resettled in the Bay Area,CA after a few years in D.C. and L.A.. I'm a lover of laughter and love bad humor, bad puns,the worse the better, and I love music passionately. I enjoy travelling both domestic and abroad and I like meeting new people and cultures. I believe life is to be lived and that no matter how much I know, the more I know, the more I know nothing. I have proven one can create ones own reality as you see fit and help out those around you along the way and still make the world a better place than when I got here. I believe in compassion and humility and I strive for it. I'm still very human, so always a work in progress. Respect, loyalty, and Integrity are big words that carry much weight in my world.

Heroes:

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution." Aldous Huxley
