Benno's my hero, and best friend. He's the first friend I ever had and I've spent my whole life wanting to be just like him. Except when he had smelly feet in high school. He's smart, super funny, kind to people, I don't know anyone who dosen't like Benno. He makes people feel good, there's like a warm sunny breeze coming from him. He has integrity, tries to do the right thing, he's the most un-vain person I know. He's been an amazing, solid support and companion, I feel damn lucky and proud to be his sister.... still wantin to be like Benno...

i lived with benno for a few months - before i moved into his house he came to my old one and helped me dig up the plants i wanted to keep from the garden there, even though some of them were weeds. he also took me and our other roommate hiking one day, pointing out various plants and patiently waiting while i took almost five minutes to discover for myself an orchid growing in the wild for the first time... he's cool like that. i'd want him to teach my kids science.

Benno is one of happiest, good natured, people I have had the pleasure to know. If he has bad moods, I have never seen it though it would be interesting to see what that would look like... I simply can't imagine. He is a great reminder to smile and remember life is good! Thanks Benno.

about me
Born on the porch of a schoolbus in the middle of the Tennessee woods. I like trees and books. Climbing trees is good fun. Reading a book, or better yet, making out, up in a tree is better fun. The sound of a river brings me great peace. Making music and dancing are perhaps the best things that humans do.

That's right.
8 years of Bush has been an Abomination.

Let's hope the future of Obama Nation is much brighter.

Shine on people....

As James Brown once grunted/screamed/implored:

Get up, get into it, Get Involved!

Don't let up... Democrats will disapoint if they forget who voted them into office in the first place....

Official announcement to the ether:

Vanessa and I are cooking up a human baby child. It should be ready in March. Home birth, don't know the gender. Her belly is growing every day, and I think it is pretty damn sexy.

Look for me with a diaper bag and some uber-chic metro-baby sling gear this spring. Bring on the clowns!

Love Benno

What sez you?

Someone asked me who my dream VP candidate for Obama would be. And the first thing that popped into my head was Chuck D of Public Enemy. So then I had to go back and listen to "Fight the Power". It takes a nation of millions to hold us back, Fear of black planet, Welcome to the terrordome... well, I can wish anyway. Or how about:

Noam Chomsky?
Angela Davis?
Winona LaDuke?
Howard Zinn?
My mom?

I know, it'll be a Bill Richardson or maybe even Hillary... but I can... read more

A lot happened in '68.

On April 4th, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Not just killed. Assassinated. If you've never heard his last speech, made the day before, dubbed the "I've been to the mountaintop" speech, check it out.

I hope all of us can be inspired to greater levels of love, and to the necessity of civic involvement, by this great man.

Peace

Hey, if you love Yahroe, let's hear about it! This ain't no April Foolin'.... it is Yahroe's birthday, and I, for one, miss his beautiful, calm, sweet presence. And his food artistry. I just miss him. Yahroe, if you are reading this, I love you, brother!
