About Me

Wisdom From An Elder (fellow) Indigenous American;It doesn't interest me what you do for a living I want to know what you ache for And if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longingIt doesn't interest me how old you are I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dreams, for the adventure of being aliveIt doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrowIf you have been opened by life's betrayals Or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own Without moving to hide it or fade it or fix itI want to know if you can be with joy Mine or your own If you can dance with wildness And let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers And toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic or to remember the limitations of being humanIt doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true I want to know if you can disappoint another To be true to yourself If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soulI want to know if you can be faithful and Therefore be trustworthyI want to know if you can see beauty Even when it is not pretty every day And if you can source your life from God's presenceI want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine And still stand on the edge of a lake And shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"It doesn't interest me to know where you live Or how much money you have I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised the bone And do what needs to be done for the childrenIt doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink backIt doesn't interest me where or what Or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you From the inside when all else falls away I want to know if you can be alone with yourself And if you truly like the company you keep In the empty moments------~ Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Elder ------- -----------Me too, Mountain Dreamer.-----------i(&I) am a student/teacher/ visionary philosopher liberty-loving veteran truth seeker sculptor/designer inventor hemp activist sustainability and political accountability advocate, Patriot, anti-sycophant. I can finish the concrete in a skatepark, handmake almost anything, probably give you a memorable contest at Scrabble (personal best game against computer set on Champion is 639, best word, 230), Chess, or, if the cards aren't too unkind, cribbage. I usually win arm wrestling. I like to commune with nature, hike, swim, educate, illuminate, deprogram the McTrancers and myself, and earnestly aspire to dance on the ruins of Multi-National 'Predatory Capitalism' human Cattle Pharming Corporations.----------- ---"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking." -- Albert Einstein------- ---"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education...." Albert Einstein------- ---"Boy, if shit were brains, you'd be an Einstein!" -----------Dad.................................. Winston Churchill said, "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

Television:

KILL IT BEFORE IT KILLS YOU!!! did you know that your brain has more wave activity when you're asleep than while watching tv? The first thing that happens to us when we begin watching TV is the suspension of our higher reasoning. There is, I repeat, more brainwave activity in a sleeper than a viewer! Don't fall for it! NO DEAL!!! We are what we eat, intellectually, physically, spiritually.......The primary difference between eating crap and watching tv is that you can vomit and brush your teeth. RUN AWAY! Free speech TV is exempt, of course, but the info is better acquired by other means. The technology itself has been so abused for so long it is not worth the risk.

Books:

Enlightenment, Philosophy, History, art, humanities, sciences, combined fields, anything to increase perspective and perception, in hopes of creating a viable sustainable future.

ANTI-heroes are; Kennedy's killers, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Getty's, Illuminati, Hitler, Nixon, Stalin, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 1 and 2, everyone who blindly and stupidly &/or deliberately and evilly supports them, and all warmongers and purveyors of indiscriminate death, deliberate users of depleted uranium, cluster bombs and white phosphorous incendiary devices on civilian populations, war profiteers, disaster profiteers, water pirates and other predatory capitalists.
