The longer I’m on the planet…the less I give a sh*t about what people think. Don’t get me wrong, I really, truly care about people’s feelings; if anything, some of you would probably say that I’ve got an overabundance of empathy. So why would I say that I don’t care about people’s opinions?

Choosing our thoughts and getting free
I was listening to someone talking about their challanges the other day, and it soon became obvious that each problem was actually based upon a judgement. Yes, each problem was just a thought – not necessarily reality! And that got us pondering the myriad of belief systems that we humans have. Each belief is based […]
Zeitgeist Movies
I’m always recommending the Zeitgeist movies, and it just occurred to me that I don’t think I’ve done so on this blog. Why do I recommend them? Well, if you’re only reading this because you think my bands “rock”, then it may not interest you, and you might just want to skip this particular post. […]
The Rediculously Complex Task of Selecting Cover Tunes
It’s a funny thing to be a songwriter. Lyrics spring to mind often fully formed, or they come in dreams, of sometimes they just sing themselves — all of which is a great delight. Words can be limiting as well, though. I love singing, and I like to work with primal tones rather than words […]
Some Thoughts of Consciousness and Religion
For those of us who follow the “Royal Road” of Direct Experience, accounts of other people’s insights, legends, and myth based religions have little appeal. We may resonate with the person(s) who had the original insights, but we understand that each time someone has a direct experience of consciousness, Oneness, divinity…LIFE, (whatever you choose to […]
Life is Life’s Greatest Gift
Psychanaut is coming along great! (although there is some tweaking as is always necessary) Still looking for just the right chemistry in players. And the recordings are one by one being mixed/mastered. The songs sound really great. And its a great time for creativity! New tunes are coming along. But what I’m most pleased about […]
Life gets so busy!
OK, I know my postings on facebook have been minimal, and the newsletter hasn’t been sent in a while, and I’ve cut down on blogging too. This is not because I don’t love you guys. I do! It’s just that I’m really focusing on slowing down just a bit and spending less time online ~ […]
Where ever you go…
There you are. I have a dear friend who’s a world traveler, yet he always calls me and says he’s bored. It’s crazy, bored in Paris, bored in Spain. So finally I had to mention that quote to him and we had a good laugh! Someone recently asked if I miss California and I guess […]
Busy busy…random thoughts and upcoming Benefit
Wow, the past couple of weeks have just been crazy as we’ve continued auditions for Psychanaut plus getting our acoustic/electric set ready for the Cozmic Pizza benefit July 29. Tonight we’re trying out some congas and hand drums which will be an alternate to our normal trap kit for this show.
Be the change you want to see in the world ~ Gandhi
I’ve been pondering the intense changes that are happening among many of the wonderful people I know right now – precipitated by the BP Oil Genocide/Disaster. I have noticed that I am not the only one who feels deep changes happening.
