About Me
I am not here any more for much debating and arguing although I do berate, point out hypocrisy and call out shallowness, greediness, selfishness, etc. I am mainly here to spread seeds of knowledge that I believe is relative to us all especially when that knowledge is based on logic and rationality which I believe humans have too little of. And many of those that do possess those qualities chose to use them in selfish ways to dominate and hoard. We'll never get anything right by repeating the same things over and over and expecting different results. And we can't ever claim we have truly evolved just because of our technological advancements and the band aids we put on the ills of the world. We're the same as we ever were and we don't and won't get any better until we admit that. We don't just deny and lie to others, we deny, lie and fool ourselves in that process where we believe things that make no sense. Totally illogical and irrational!
Anyway. If you feel you need my attention in something please message me through this site as you most likely will not receive any response from me on a post.
MY NEWEST HERO!
"I was shown how fragile life was on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders' faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don't know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath."
~ Jessica Ghawi r.i.p.
***********************
Buddha was walking into the city market one day and near the city entrance an old bitter man was sitting on a box glaring at Buddha, who carried a bright smile on his face. At the sight of him this old man started cursing Buddha up and down, left right and center, telling him how pretentious he was, how much better he thought he was and how he did nothing worthy of the air he breathed in this world. But Buddha simply smiled and kept on walking to the market to get what he needed.
The Next day Buddha returned to the market and once again that old man was there, this time his cursing intensified, screaming and yelling at Buddha as he walked by, cursing his mother, cursing his father and everyone else in his life.
This went on for the rest of the week and finally as the Buddha was leaving the market the man came up to him, as his curiousity had simply gotten the best of him.
“Buddha, every day you come here smiling and every day I curse your name, I curse your family and everything you believe in” the old man says ” but every day you enter this city with a smile knowing that I await you with my harsh tongue, and everyday you leave through the same entrance with that same smile. I know by speaking to you now that you are not deaf, why do you keep on smiling while I do nothing but scream the worst things I can think of to your face?”
Buddha, with the same smile still on his face looks at the old man and asks “If I were to bring you a gift tomorrow morning all wrapped up in a beautiful box would you accept it?” to which the old man replies “Absolutely not, I would take nothing from the likes of you!”. “Ah ha” the Buddha replies “Well if I were to offer you this gift and you were to refuse then who would this gift belong to?”. “It would still belong to you of course” answers the old man. “And so the same goes with your anger, when I choose not to accept your gift of anger , does it not then remain your own?”

I'd like to meet
H.I.M., Ville Valo especially, Robert Anton Wilson in the afterlife, Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell, Alex Grey, Dave Grohl, Bruce Campbell and Maynard James Keenan. So many more interesting people, alive and dead.
Activities
None of your business and get that damn camera out of my face. If that ends up on the internet! ... LMAO!
Seriously though, Art. And art combined with woodworking and refinishing creating one-of-a-kind furniture. Sewing. My friends keep me in business there. Making curtains mostly and repairs. Give me a pattern and I can make anything. I am a member of the Handyman Club of America. I once was the maintenance mechanic for a 2-floor mall JCPenney. Damn I looked good on that ladder changing ballasts. I turned a lot of heads and saw a lot of husbands and boyfriends get wacked, LOL! So, I do all basic electrical, carpentry and plumbing. I am more proficient at painting and wood floor refinishing. There's nothing like a big vibrating sander ; ) I spend my spare time with my children, my family and my friends ... and then there's ... SodaHead.
Anyone remember a group called King Crimson? I painted this wall mural in tribute to their album "In The Court of The Crimson King" ... Damn I love that album!
This one's called "Retro Madonna" done in acrylics and black and white felt paper.
This one's called "Reflection" (for obvious reasons).
This is a table that I found rotting out in the rain. I stripped and sanded it, wood burned an Eastern Dragon in the center of the table, colored it with glitter glue and finished it with 4 coats of polyurethane. Damn how I love recycling!

Interests
Almost everything. Even the mundane. There's always something interesting in everything if you bother to look.
Favorite Music
H.I.M.
K-POP - SHINee, BoA, TVXQ, Big Bang, G-Dragon, 2NE1, SM The Ballad, Super Junior, JYJ
50s, 60's and 70's pop, rock and some country and yeah, even a little disco
My favorite band in 1975 when I was 15 was The Rolling Stones and everyone I knew didn't like them. I even went through a loud and obnoxious screaming, head banging music stage in the late 80's/early 90's but it didn't last because I got much whiplash (I mostly did it for the natural high it caused anyway. Now I just smoke as much medical marijuana as I can get my hands on, LOL)
I also enjoy, when my mood warrants it, meditation, soundscapes, new age, quiet music. I especially like Native American music, the drums and the flute. I used to camp at powwows years ago and would fall asleep to their evening music rituals which would sometimes go on for hours. Music has been a huge part of my life.
I took up saxophone in 4th grade. I self-taught myself bass guitar and drums. I can read and write music. I married a musician and I ran the sound system for his band. After my divorce, I did freelance photography for other local bands and helped with promotion. Most of my relationships were with musicians. If that makes me a groupie, so be it : )

Favorite Quotes
Live each day as if it were your last. It very well could be!
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my
contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the
spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be
done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the
loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate
all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to
shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing
under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
- Albert Einstein
“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets” ~ Francois-Marie Arouet

Sorry, I know my comment was hateful, I meant it to be, I have no tolerance for Indians (I know many). I am not sure if you are aware of their caste system or not the lowest cast is untouchable, they are not only unouchable they are invisible a person simply walks around one as if they do not exist. They consider Americans to be untouchable! For that reason they have no business involving them selves in our affairs. My rape comment was about a girl in India that was raped by something like 8 men on a public bus. I believe she died. The Indian authorities blew the case off, but the media got involved, reportedly it is a common occurrence there.
