Words do not have the capacity of greatness to even begin to describe this bEauTiful woman that I LOVE and EMBRACE. I am so sure thaT this is a girl that I will cherish my time knowing till the day I die. She means SOOOO much to so many. Every day with her is a blessing upfront, no holding back. I miss YOU so much already, but I know you feel me with you in Spirit. Please give the big Down Unda a big snuggle for me will ya? oh and hugs to Sorren & Kate 4 me....Loves Loves Always AlisoN

about me
I am a kid at heart. Yet the grown-up world is becoming more incorporated into my reality. I am a very music-oriented and thoughtful person. I rely heavily on the beautiful souls sharing this world with me for love, comfort, laughter, promise, support, lessons, reflections, perspective, and truth. Sometimes I rely on people too much. I'd like to be more self-sufficient. That's why I left last year for solo adventures overseas for 8 months. I needed to become better friends with myself... needed to continue trying to become strong enough to handle whatever is put in my path (and humanity's path). Need to learn survival skills, not just turntable skills. :-)
But I do love my records, more than any other material possession. I've been collecting for several years now, and playing for a couple. Mostly downtempo, dub, trip hop, conscious hip hop, a little ambient... but I also have lots of sicky breaks and old progressive beauties that rarely get played.
I'm a sucker for the Orb, Orbital, Rockers Hifi, Tipper, Shpongle, Bluetech, DJ Shadow and Krush, (oh God I could go on for days)...
Music keeps me sane, and certain of the magic in this existence; the possibilities to shape and express our own emotions and realities. It is the language I understand best.
Love keeps me real, and grounded (though it also takes me flying....)
The Great Mystery keeps me guessing, and I'll never pretend to have it all figured out. :-)
Update on my Situation, April 29, 2008
(blog entry)
Last Thursday, I finally hired a very expensive lawyer. I put down the $2000 I have raised so far (thanks in part to many of you!) , and my dad and mom split the other $3000 (which i must pay back ASAP) for the initial deposit. This lawyer could...

Nuk Noy
(blog entry)
Her name means "little bird".
I can see why... especially now. I sit with her beneath a mosquito net on a mat, holding one of her hands between both of mine.
Stephanie, in Thai, asks Nuk Noy how old she is. I feel a stab of disbelief in ...

Last Thursday, I finally hired a very expensive lawyer. I put down the $2000 I have raised so far (thanks in part to many of you!) , and my dad and mom split the other $3000 (which i must pay back ASAP) for the initial deposit. This lawyer could end up costing up to $15,000 if we go to trial. Insane, I know, but it took a long time to come to the decision to hire him, and I'm finally confident I made the right decision.
I tried my luck with 2 public defenders, unsuccessfully. The last ...

Hey everyone,
Thanks again for your continued support. I want to let you all know I will be going to my first hearing March 5th. I spent 14 hours in jail last Tuesday after turning myself in and requested a court-appointed attorney as I have been unable to (so far) raise enough money for a retainer (for a lawyer who can truly help). However, I still have almost two months before my final hearing, so plenty of time to raise more money. I am currently just over $1500 still. I need $3500...

Last Friday in Portland, a benefit for my defense fund raised $750 at the door!!!!!! THANK YOU VICTOR AND ALL WHO DONATED!!! Two close friends that night also promised to give $500 (and wouldn't let me say no).
Paypal donations from six strangers (thanks VERY MUCH to Mate) have totaled $305, with an additional $20 from my friend Erik, AND an old friend who owes me over $2000 from the past has stepped up and paid back $75 of it!!!
So, the $1250 from last Friday and the $400 from paypa...

Her name means "little bird".
I can see why... especially now. I sit with her beneath a mosquito net on a mat, holding one of her hands between both of mine.
Stephanie, in Thai, asks Nuk Noy how old she is. I feel a stab of disbelief in my heart when I hear her weak reply.
"Ysip see."
She is 24 years old, and dying. Her eyes stare straight ahead, never looking toward me, though I sit right next to her on the mat. She lays on her side, facing me. At first I think she isn't ...
