BEING HERE NOW, reading, writing, and playing my new Martin acoustic guitar have recently taken the forefront of my "interests".... Jam out !!! I'm also into anything Disney-related due to my brainwashing by the Mouse when I worked for them in 04.. And I love reading about anything related to the sixties counter-culture youth revolution. And I loved the Grateful Dead. I listen to most of the jambands that have risen up in the aftermath of Jerry's death... And I'm interested in you! Who are you, anyway? Why are you reading this? My email address outside of MySpace is [email protected]. Holla at me!
I want to meet ANYONE who has ever felt like doing something revolutionary, the dreamers, hippies, poets, musicians, artists of the world, all the beautiful ladies out there who love good times and beautiful places....I want to meet the ones who want to change this world for the better.
I'd also like to meet someone who can help me solve the puzzle of playing the guitar well..BODHISATTVA:In brief, simply imagine the Bodhisattva as saying, "If I know how to swim, and even one other being cannot, then it is right to remain behind in this world to assist them until they know how to save themselves from drowning".
