He used to be such a sweet boy!

About Me

I was born holding a crayon with which I drew the sun and the stars, I drew Mars. I said things which I regret, again and again, until there weren't any left. I've eaten bannanas. I've smoked trees. I've lived in houses and tents and giant piles of leaves. I've bred. I've built. I've come to terms with my guilt. I work. I bleed. I place hope in a packet of seeds, indeed. I don't walk the line, I circumvent it. I don't follow man's law, why should I, I invented it. I am the Alpha and the Zappa, the beginning and the bend, and if you feel what I'm saying you can be my friend.

My Interests

Reading and writing (hold the arithmetic). Beer, hot peppers, and other specialty foods. Listening to music and struggling to make it. Computers. Conspiracy theories. Campfires. Hippies. Long conversations with people I hardly know on the instant messenger. Taking shitty, childish, online surveys just because the impersonality of the keyboard sometimes makes me surprisingly honest. BSU football. Boobies. River water. Dungeons, Dragons, and their ilk. Driving down long isolated roads. Walking in the rain, except when I have to. Snow, except when I'm driving. Comforting drunken people. Marijuana, practice and theory. Talking to you.

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, Artists, Hippies, Old friends, Activists, Gamers, Rainbow Children, Diabolists, Philosophers, FX Masters, Wild Old People, Chefs, Gutter Punks, Writers, Street People, Farmers, Actors, Magicians, Gurus, Dreamers, and Carnies

Commandeering a blog as a bulletin and a few other things

Well, I don't seem to have the ability to post bulletins right now, so unfortunately this won't reach as many of you.  But I just wanted all my Boise area friends to know that The Wailers are com...

But shouldn’t we keep talking about Obama’s Pastor?

This article is from the 4-20 edition of the NY Times.  I highly suggest you take time to read it.   In the summer of 2005, the Bush administration confronted a fresh wave of criticism over ...

First on the agenda: Horsewhip the lackeys!

I guess I should be proud. I'm standing on the precipice, the next level is just a short leap.  And I've decided to jump. As some of you may know, not quite a year ago I applied to be the leadwo...

I’ll sit next to the Shoe Bomber, thanks.

"Give me liberty or give me death". It's one of the most famous quotes in all of American history.  It's key to the fact that there is an American history.  And it is a bold statement of the...

Ten years and a whimper-

So it finally came, and went. Uncerimoniously. My ten year reunion, that is. And I can only blame myself. See, I brought my wife with me. I told her she didn’t have to come....it wasn’t l...

I wonder if they like Pink Floyd in Mexico?

Homeland Security celebrated at the beginning of the week, as the government flexed it’s muscle to push aside "pesky" environmental regulations to their beloved border wall.  Idiots. Now, ...

The sound of silence-

I don’t usually talk sports in my blog.  Partly because it’s not of interest to most of you, and partly because there are already plenty of people out there doing it.  I’ll...
