4:20 am	where have i been, who knows, but i have work to do -OR- read this SLOWLY and compreHEND it is becoming more and more evident (to me, at least) how we are so so SO physically connected with the earth, and it's dances. plants are alive, they dance. let's face it. they just do it at their own pace. and we have a choice to accept that and to ask for their hand. we can lead the dance. they COULD lead too, but it'd probably be to slow for our style...anyways...this doesn't just mean plants. other people. light. sound. everything that is a by product of the earth or sun or moon. emotion is a measurable wave. did you know this? it's testable science, bro. people are walking energy tanks. and we can arrange what is in those tanks however we want. if we want to be positive, for example, that affects the air, people, cats, dogs, insects, etc around us. yes, this is correct. you can ineffably charm everything on the planet if you wanted to. the weather has a dance too. it's got it's jukes, it's got it's patterns. been boilin' up a mad beat recently if you been paying attention. i know it can be hard, weather.com throws some professional sports bullshit in your face whenever it gets the chance. (sorry jose) but back to the point. we need to start realizing our potential. forget everything whoever throws at you about war this, 2012 that, global warming white phosporus. NOT to say that stuff isn't relevent to an extent. but what you REALLY NEED to know is suprisingly simple. here it is: IF YOU LOVE STUFF, STUFF HAS NO REASON AT ALL NOT TO RETURN THE FAVOR 1,0000000000,00000000,0000000000000000000000,00,00,0,0lk0l0l0loipiij PER CENT so get up and dance, foo'. african scream contest games. talk to people. listen to funk. if people have PROBLEMS IN LIFE, which can be increasingly COMMON in these times, kick your goddamn television in the face before you throw it OUT ON THE CURB FOR GOOD (i still can't believe i still gotta tell people to do this) and do the following: 1. use the internet for GOOD (or, failing that, a phone, etc), and schedule a time and place to talk to these people. wherever plays funk music and serves food without CHEMICALS is preferable. THAT'S IT. it's easy. laugh with them, cry with them. whatever needs to get out. share your problems as well. feel it out from there. i know, for some situations, things may seem uncomfortable, scary, awkward. but be brave. start local, then move out in concentric circles. use your brain. have a good time. remember that YOU and EVERYONE around you, are the same. sure you've got your own styles, personalitieseses. but you all come from what's under you, and you're made of it too. you are part of one GIANT, LIVING BREATHING ORGANISM known as earth. and wether you know it consciously or not, YOU ARE CONSTANTLY BEING TOLD THE OPPOSITE by the media. leftist media, rightist media, all of it. flavor flav said "don't believe the hype". listen. keep reminding yourself that LIMITS are ARBITRARY, BORDERS are LIES, and SEPERATION is ILLUSION. write that last sentence down and keep it on your desk if you have to. your brain is, to date, the most powerful thing known to man, and science is still, STILL trying to comprehend it. start playin' catch-up. so if you are as tired as i am of NOT TALKING TO PEOPLE like i should be, let's do it. help me, and i'll help you the best i can. BELIEVE in something. yourself, and other people is a good start. some other quick things. LISTEN TO THE INTUITIONS OF THE WOMAN. man and woman each have their own purpose, don't get me wrong, i am not trying to downplay the purpose of the male. but I BELIEVE that the emotional weight of the female, especially when taken within context of her struggling position in society (look up patriarchy on the internet if this doesn't make sense to you. it's what we've been living in for some time) NEEDS AN OUTLET, a shoulder, an ear. your shoulder, your ear. DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF, to anyone. for information, DIVERSIFY your news sources. never think you can't learn something from someone else, no matter how older or younger. in otherwise, BE HUMBLE. spend more time OUTSIDE, it feels GOOD, doesn't it? yes it does. so start to cultivate an interest in WHAT YOU ARE, and WHAT YOU CAN DO. this means getting interested in what you consume. this is very important. NATURE KEEPS YOU ALIVE AND FUNCTIONING. DON'T turn your back on it. make enough money to live and eat by. anything more you're just going to waste on useless garbage you don't need. live simply. and download this album. it's a freakin' masterpiece http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ITDDVAMB <-----------HERE if you know people that are confused by silly confusion-inducing computers, burn it to cd and distribute. everyone knows how to use those things. i can only write so much here before it becomes overkill. so go out and live the rest of it. this post brought to you by my very last trip on delicious, natural, FROM THE EARTH psychedelic mushrooms. i haven't eaten any in a long time, but with the information i have from my last experience, i now know what i have to do, and won't be needing any further trips. best 20 bucks i've ever spent. "All the food, drink, intoxicants, drugs and medicines that keep man alive and, if properly used, radiantly healthy are ours through the sweetness of photosynthesis" ~ peter tompkins and christopher bird, authors, from their 1969 book, the secret life of plants. (read it.) "I would advise not to generalise" ~ moondog, musician. "All the world's religions are speaking of the same Reality. They have different words, different concepts and ideas, but there's really only one Reality, and there's only one Spirit moving through all life. There might be different techniques to get there, but there's only that is real, and when you're there you know it. Whatever you want to call it ? you can give it different names ? it's all the same thing." ~ drunvalo melchizedek, vietnam veteran, author and spiritual teacher. "Nothing happens in nature that is not in relation to the whole." ~ lots of people have said this "The secret of our lost mode of prayer is to shift our perspective of life by feeling that the miracle has already happened and our prayers have been answered. Now we have the opportunity to bring this wisdom into our lives as prayers of gratitude for what already exists, rather than asking for our prayers to be answered." ~ gregg braden, geologist, spiritualist, author.

10:34 am	mar 17 drink your face off I'm sitting on her mattress with her laptop on my lap, looking out her bedroom window. she left for work an hour ago, and the bell tower of the church where she is currently cleaning bathrooms, sweeping the boiler room and clearing trash out of the kitchen areas, is perfectly centered through the sun-moistened rectangle of glass hiding behind a smattering of bare tree branches and romantic tremont rooftops. Sun, shining down on the peak of the tower, I-90 running in an even line directly in front of it, criss-crossed and snowflaked by the trees, all prismed through the glass jars of juice and tea sitting on the windowsill.

2:46 am	how i learned to live with fear It seemed to make sense to read the fifth book of peace before reading 2012: the return of quetzlcoatl. as i've gradually come to terms with the fact that they are controlling the weather (or at least making a shoddy attempt at it), and that scientific manipulation of a climate already stoic and unwavering towards its logical conclusion will most likely lead to an oversight, overcompensation, or whatever that will turn our scientific prowess against us, i'm quickly in the process of mentally arming myself. i am slowly shaking off paranoia the best i can to stop, and take a look at the beauty of the cosmic scope. making tender love during the 68 degree february rainstorms, chucking snowballs at friends after an artificial blizzard. collaborating with friends in music, writing, what have you. "gotta keep busy." that's what they say, right? when you know there's a darkness working against you? you know, it can take many forms..unrequited love, alcoholism, blah blah etc etc. I have much to do this "spring break" week. no caribbean islanding for me. domestic shit. laundry, radio station work, schoolwork. work on some projects i've been meaning to get to. and after that, thinking about physically arming myself. Marty said he'd help me with info for that. I can't wait for summer. Current Music: death comes along (9 Comments |Comment on this)

11:24 am	I got up for work at 6 am, after only getting an hour or two of sleep. It wasn't snowing at 4, and when I woke up there were several inches. Not fluffy snow, but wet, good-for-snowball snow. Were there always bursts like this? I know the thaws are new...we had a 60 degree springtime thunderstorm a couple a weeks ago. I was at Kate's when it happened, and I got really paranoid and freaked out and frightened her. I think I have one of those weather bones...like a knee or something. Elbow. Something. Next year, tornados every day. Obama and Clin-Ton are in town today for the debate at my school. I'll bet they're not as busy as I am this week.

2:46 pm	in through the eye out through the ear Last night I joined Keith and Krauty in their duo at Bela Dubby, playing Zimbabwean thumb piano, only marginally aware what I was in for. Albeit Keith's confusing and complicated musical cues, I managed to play a steady drone while Keith started to chant a lot of existential anomalies. Krauty interpolated between shaking a handmade chime and kicking his legs in the air while chewing on plastic packing material. Schmoop joined in on guitar, probably even more confused than I was. Keith has a bad back, and was stumbling around the entire time. He even ended up knocking over his antique mirror that he brought to look into and ask questions during the music. It shattered into long thin schimitars. At the end, Krauty dropped a 30 pound rock on a garbage can lid, jarring the floor enough to completely freeze a nearby minidisc player that was recording the show. It was a hilarious disaster. It happened just as the lunar eclipse was going on. I think Keith had planned it that way. The new Emeralds/Quintana Roo split lp on Arbor records is really great. I haven't been drinking very much at all. There are half a dozen pabst cans, four rolling rock bottles and two budweiser bottles in my fridge that were left over from a dinner party, and i don't want any of them also, RIP Yasushi Ozawa Current Music: marty robbins - they're hanging me tonight (7 Comments |Comment on this)

7:31 pm	Sometimes I want a sidekick. Someone preferably shorter than me...and at least a bit uglier. Someone who has nothing better to do with their time than to hang around me and not talk, go to shows with me, and smoke like a fiend. A human pet. Only sometimes, though. I want to be able to wave them off on any excursion I don't feel their presence would be necessary. Ever since I quit working for those goddamned arabs and their hummus, life's been a nonstop party. Not in the drinking, doing drugs and ruining the property of others sense, but more in the, uh, I've been free to pursue any and all extracurricular activities unfettered by the ol' punch-in clock. Although I've been able to get a lot done, I'm never satisfied. A year remains until I'm out of college, and that's probably my biggest annoyance at the moment (I do enjoy learning Japanese though). I'd drop out of that scam in a flash if my mother hadn't asked me in her nicest tone to please finish college because they coughed up the dough for me to attend my first couple of years, and then some. BUT, I have a feeling it won't be all sour. Besides, I guess I do love those dolts, in some distant, crazy-3rd-cousin sense. I've been recently surrounded by an extraordinary group of friends. We live with each other, eat with each other, Indian-leg-wrestle each other, and sometimes fuck each other. And it's all been great. They're all kooky motherfuckers in their own ways and I love them all. Some will leave soon, others may take their place, who knows. Cycles like this aren't going to stop, even though the pisshole that is mankind are just a few hairs away from pushing that knife blade in just the right artery of the neck of the earth. Can't stop progress because of some moldy old bones trying to ruin it for everyone. Besides,like a learned, beautiful woman recently told me, either things can change, or they can't. But we have the option to try. So get offline and start a rock band or something. That last line was not directed towards any particular reader or group of readers. Now for a noise show at my favorite bookstore, Visible Voice Books in beautiful Tremont. I might just start updating this thing regularly again.

8:37 pm	space madness The honda hit 150,000 this last week. I needed a good theme song while driving and I didn't really have any appropriate cds in the car with me. So I called up the radio station and told Steve Lax to play Huey Lewis & the News' "Power of Love" on his punk/hardcore radio show and he DIDN'T. he better have an explanation. So instead I found the Sum 41 song on the mix that lj_cranpape uploaded awhile back, and it was at least somewhat appropriate because of its fist-pumpingness. Uuhh, it's been awhile. I've been journaling in a paper notebook recently, so I'll go over some highlights and give some key summaries, you know like the sports guys do in sports games. 5-13-07 5:54 AM list of things bought at yard sales yesterday: BAG O FANCY PENS - $2 HEAVY DUTY PLIERS - $1 6 SOUL/JAZZ 45'S (JIMMY SMITH, JACKSON 5, MARVIN GAYE, CHI-LITES & TWO SUPREMES) @ $.25 ea. - $1.50 IRON GIRAFFE CANDLEHOLDER - $.50 5-23-07 8:11 PM Re-listening to tapes of me playing guitar. [counter @ 057] Chords, delay, distortion. Can't hear much. [...] [counter @ 104] Highs and lows. follow something short with something long, something light with something heavy. get a delay effect without using a pedal. 6-8-07 5:23 PM For some reason, when i'm fucked up, I'm hesitant to admit it. I'm always like "Nah, I'm fine. Seriously, it wore off." I also tend to think that I make a fool of myself moreso than I actually do (if at all). 6-10-07 11:58 AM Condoms are like the titillation police. 6-22-07 5:48 PM The benchmark of my generation is if one is well versed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. ...okay so those weren't the most exciting parts but oh well.

12:22 am	There's this nun that walks around CSU campus all the time. She's everywhere, I always see her. in main classroom, in university center, rhodes tower...at least three times a week. She's old, 50s probably, and she wears a knee high skirt. She is always carrying around two brown briefcases with a complacent look on her face. Sometimes I am afraid that she has machetes in those briefcases and does not like men with brown or tan jackets. I have all of this thoughtful chicken feed all crammed up in my head when I go online and update this thing, but when the pretty box turns on it always causes depletion of my chicken feed. you know what I mean by chicken feed, right? I hope so, as it's not an original thought but rather something I found on thesaurus.com to replace 'trivia'.

10:52 pm	part 1 - missing from pasture I once read somewhere that virgos are people of many different faces, and that different parts of their personality show depending on who they are interacting with. I had recognized that this was more or less the case with me. But until I read this, I always viewed it as a very negative phenomenon. I thought I was a leech. When somebody around me netted one or more of the traits swimming around in my unrefined, indistinguishable septic tank of a personality, I leapt onto their necks and held on to them for dear (social) life. I don't really believe in astrology, but I definitely don't disbelieve it either. In fact, I find myself agreeing with it more often than not. There's more to this story, obviously, but I really don't know what road to take it down right now. I don't want my brain to get too big.

8:37 am	BK Joe Turbo lightning bolt played last night but I didn't stick around because it was sold out, too many people. Plus I couldn't squeeze through to the other side of the Grog to get to the bathroom. Plus I was tired and didn't really care that much about lightning bolt at the moment. Or now, really. Battles was eh. The local bands were the only good bands, really. Except the homostupids need to play more dank pits to avoid lame soundguys who are afraid to turn their amps up way too high and put a little reverb in the mics. Jeez! I'm playing video games again. It's been awhile. I find it most comfortable when I don't play video games for six or eight months, and then sit down with one really good one and play it all the way through in two or three weeks. It's resident evil 4 this time. Goddamn coyotes with tentacles growing out of their backs and shit like that Current Music: the holy modal rounders - half a mind (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:42 am	dream 45643 A couple of weekends ago in my empty house while my roommate was out of town, I had fallen asleep on the couch in the middle of the afternoon. After a couple of hours sleep, I was in a half sleep daze and was convinced that I was hearing footsteps somewhere in the room. I wasn't very frightened, as I didn't move from my face-against-the-coushin position but in the moment before I woke up I felt warm hands tightening around my neck. Jedi mind tricks. Hearing an out-of-body-experience story on lj ras_sinister's synesthesia radio show prompted me to think about this again. Current Music: klaus schulze - weird caravan (2 Comments |Comment on this)
