Aside from screaming at the radio everytime George Bush and his 'Skull n Bones' crew do something to skullfuck the world in our name... I suppose' I study the occult just to know who's giving him the secret handshake...
I'm still make music... normally I'm working with Reason 2.5 cuz'...I still feel like I'm learning with Reason and I've gotten alot done lwith it so far. Did stuff in all sorts of veins... like electro, dub, goa real old style industrial... Just bought a bass and have been trying to adapt to it by playing classic funk stuff (like 'The Tighten Up' - Archie Bell and the Drells) as well as classic punk (easy stuff) like Sham 69 or the Damned (which is notatall easy) The stuff I could play easily on guitar hurts like hell on the bass.
Been learning to spin a fire stick the last couple of years... practicing some contact spinning like what this french guy was showing me last summer. I'm getting alot better atit but I've still along ways to go. Also, I want to learn fire poi spinning... which are two balls, each one on the end of a separate chain...they're hard enough normally, I know they're going to be tougher once they're lit.
Also, I've been studying Western Mystery Tradition stuff....ah, nuff' said!
