My Interests


Aw hell. This is the place you look because you wanna find out who I am.
Do you realize it's taken me nearly 50 years to find out what I know about me,
and I still don't know everything about me!
I call myself a work of art in progress.
Every aspect of my life has been another stroke of the brush.
I hope you can appreciate unfinished art!
I like to create. But I can't sculpt, or paint or draw! Even my penmanship sucks!
So, I have become a hobby photographer!
Been snaping pictures since I was 16.
At one time I was into dark room work, but never did get used to the lost time in there. Still have darkroom equipment, but with the new digital stuff, I just don't need it! So, instead of creating more shoe boxes filled with photographs, (i currently have 9 shoe boxes full of images.) now instead i fill computer folders, and then CD's. Only with digital, since there is no developing that is limited by my income, I am not at all limited in how much I can shoot.
One of the things I enjoy the very most in life, is to pack up my camera stuff into the truck and pick a photographic destination. Then spend the day with the specific intention of filling the flash cards! Now that I have a lap top! Even more can be done! I have created my own monster!
I also enjoy exploring. Either on foot or in the truck. Gimme a sunny day and a gravel road I've never seen before, or a creek that dissapears up into the trees, these things fill my center with peace. I've also acquired a pair of older, though very functional kayaks, and have discovered a whole new way to explore paths, or rivers less traveled.
I'm an ecclectic sort of person.
I'm always looking to add a new wheel to the cart.
This is my Blog for Creative Expression

As of late, even though I have always been a liberal, ever since 9/11 and the War of Lies, (Iraq War) I have become highly political.
And this is the forum I usually hang out at,
As of this moment I have nearly 15,000 post entries there.
Why?
Because being politically aware and active is at least as important as getting laid.

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Music:

I dig nearly all music, except Rap and Opera.
All though with Opera I can see the musical talent!
Though I like them all and actively seek variety,
my strongest interests are soft/pop jazz and Country Western.
I also absolutely love a good hard driving rock-n-roll blues guitar!
By the way, rap really is crap,
and hip hop, or Rap with a melody, is for kids!

Movies:

Too many fav movies to list, but most reciently,
"Smartest guys in the room", "Rent" and the Al Gore movie on Global Warming, "An Inconvenient Truth"

Television:

I don't watch much network TV anymore.
It's pretty much all the same crap.
You'll likely catch me watching
Oregon Public, History, Discovery, Learning, Sci-fi and Comedy channels.

Books:

Bison Press - "Black Elk Speaks",
Bison Press -"Crazy Horse",
Joseph Campbell - "The Power of Myth",
Joseph Campbell - "Transformations of Myth Through Time",
Dan Millman - "Way of the Peaceful Warrior"
James Redfield - "The Celestine Prophesy",
James Redfield - "The 10th Insight",
Melody Beattie - "Codependant No More",
Jerome Armstrong - "Crashing the Gate",
Johnathan Westminster - "The 15% Solution".

Heroes:

ROSA PARKS
How much courage does it take for a person to do what she did?
