Help Get Hip Hop to the Playa this year....

chrisj — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:50:34 GMT

Repost from Goodfelllow's blog..... http://people.tribe.net/robintala ==================================================== Greetingz Fam Glorious! If Cyphertown (one of the TWO major sound systems for our family to play on, Nexus and Us as far as I know...), matters to you than please read this message in full!!! (Also, if you keep reading than you will get a sneek peak at our lineup for the playa!) Check our update website for new info on Cyphertown and to peep our NEW PROMO VIDEO with footage from last years playa and many of our productions since then: HTTP://WWW.CYPHERTOWN.ORG The time has come. The Burn is just days away and the whole Cyphertown Team is workin HARD to ensure that we have a dope stage for you to rock out at on the Playa this year. BUT CHECK IT: Since we had a big shift up in our inferstructure and registration scenario, we are short on funds! Hella people have been telling us that they're gonna roll thru and camp with us, but very few people have actually gone to our website and donated (SLIDING SCALE DONATION FOLKS). The result is that WE, the Cyphertown Team, has had to privately fundraise ALL the funds to make this stage happen! And that IS NOT an easy job! The stage alone costs over $7,000!!! (Sound System/Generator/Fuel/Trucking WITHOUT staff tickets!!!) It's a slow year for pretty much everybody financially, so our fundraising has not been as effortless as we had hoped. As of a week ago, we almost had to cancel Cyphertown on the Playa due to lack of funds. Fer real. Our Kitchen did have to cancel cause not enough people pre-registered. So now we are a Stage and we are a Community. Holding space for the rising generation of fresh and beautiful talent, and featuring many of our elders and old playa favorites as well. We almost had to cancel this thing, but you know what...? WE ARE WARRIORS!!! It is ESSENTIAL that especially in this year of shifting, when many old favorites are mutating or not coming, that WE, as the RISING HIP HOP GENERATION, represent FULLY on the playa this year and provide a place for many of our family to throwdown!!! It is also ESSENTIAL that we posses POWERFUL ENDURANCE and ADAPTABILITY in the coming times of quickening! We are holding a vision that extends far beyond the playa! To unite the power of hip hop and the power of the burning man culture to leverage REAL CHANGE in this world. AND WE ARE ALREADY DOING IT!!! We now just BARELY have enough to make this stage happen. And that's without reimbursing our full time staff AT ALL for their tickets for busting their asses and working while most people are out having fun, so that we ENSURE that you all have a dope place to enjoy yourselves at night. DO YOU WANT A PLAYA WITH ONLY BLARING TECHNO AND TRANCE?!? We didn't think so... DO YOU APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT THE 12 PEOPLE ON CYPHERTOWN COUNCIL ARE DOING TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE A DOPE PLACE TO ENJOY YOUR PLAYA EVENINGS? If so, than... PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE - WWW.CYPHETOWN.ORG - RIGHT NOW, and REGISTER TO CAMP WITH CYPHERTOWN with a SLIDING SCALE DONATION!!! and/or MAKE A DONATION EVEN IF YOU ARE CAMPING SOMEWHERE ELSE TO ENSURE THAT THIS STAGE HAPPENS!!! If you've already made plans to camp somewhere else but think that you will be enjoying our stage/lineup/family, than PLEASE DONATE AS WELL!!! Camping with Entheon, but know that you will want to come dance at a major system at night? Building the Temple but know that you will want a place to decompress and shake out all those loose screws from your existance? PLEASE SUPPORT this family who is ABSOLUTELY DEDICATED to providing you with quality musical entertainment this year!!! If everyone who recieves this message donates $20, than we would have over $15,000!!! That money would make it OH SO MUCH EASIER for us to bring you quality programming, and would eliminate a lot of the stress that we, the Cyphertown Council, are enduring (and the possibility of going into personal debt!) so that WE ALL can have an awesome stage! Donating/Registering is EASY!!! To Register to stay at Cyphertown please visit: cyphertown08.eventbrite.com To Donate to Cyphertown Village please paypal to cyphertown@gmail.com (you can do this by going to paypal.com and following the simple easy steps!) If you are afraid of online money, than please email robin@cyphertown.org and we can arrange for money orders to be sent, a direct deposit to be made to our bank account, or for a cash meetup! If you feel this vibe... If you appreciate the space that Cyphertown held on the playa last year, continued to hold throughout the year with all of our productions, the energy we put forward out into the world with our activist work, and the creative vision that we continue to hold space for than PLEASE: - Make a Donation RIGHT NOW!!! - Convey this message to 5 of your friends who will enjoy our stage and ask them to donate! - Come and camp with us and help co-create this community! - And most importantly, come out to our stage at 2:00 and Fairlane and DANCE YOUR ASS OFF!!! Also, if you know anyone who would be interested in making a $500 donation or larger, we are offering fresh VIP Packages to our whole next YEAR of productions!

Morpheus Needs Adoption

chrisj — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 02:24:31 GMT

So I have a 10 week old baby boy kitten "Morpheus" , who is part of a litter of 3 from my cat Niandra. He is all black with a little bit of white on his throat. These kittens came unexpectedly and I am unable to keep them at this time. I am hoping I don't have to take him to a shelter and that I can find a good home for him personally. He was the runt of the litter and therefore he needs some special attention. The only real issue I have with him is that he has yet to really want to use a litter box. He will use it at times and then other times he won't. I basically have a very large kennel that I made to contain him there when I am not able to monitor him, otherwise he goes potty on various parts of the carpet. I have tried and continue to try different things that may work for him. The next step is to have 2 litter boxes, one for pee and one for poo....He definitely likes it clean, but then that doesn't always work for him either. To be honest I think he is just a little slow, and I don't think it is a medical issue. Even in the kennel he doesn't always use the box (which is inside the kennel) He has been eating soft food for about 2-3 weeks, he likes it with shredded carrot, kelp powder and dulce, but will eat the food by itself. He still wants to nurse on Niandra which she allows reluctantly. I am planning on moving by Oct 1 and will not be able to have him with me. I can only have Niandra. I am asking for a $30 adoption fee (which may be refunded once you fill out and sign the paperwork and I have had a chance to interview you) He does currently have fleas which will be corrected with some Advantage this week, now that he is old enough to have it. Plus he has had his dewormer for heartworm, tapeworm and roundworm. He has no shots yet and he is not neutered. That will lay with the the new owners to do. He is a very sweet kitty, sometimes a little shy but likes to be in your lap as well. I hope someone will want him and can work with him on his potty issues. Please contact me if you or anyone you know would want him or if you have any suggestion on where I could take him where he won't be put down due to his issues. Email or phone is best for tribe is iffy these days. Thanks CJ sijhay (at) photon (dot) net 206-491-0346

Gorgeous House and/or Cottage on 4 acres in Bainbridge Island

chrisj — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:35:32 GMT

Found a lady who owns some land on Bainbridge and she is renting out her space for a sweet deal. The Digs: Old Farmhouse that has been given lots of love. This place I have been inside and seen it and it is fabulous. -Roughly 1900 sf -long narrow basement/workshop area reachable with 2 doors on each end from outside -Freaking absolutely lovely kitchen with tons of counterspace and floorspace, modern gas stove, fridge etc. -A mud room/laundry about the size of my bedroom now with washer / dryer -average bathroom with modern shower attached to mudroom next to kitchen -huge dining/common room off of kitchen -even huger common/living room with wood fire stove and door access to covered porch (which goes halfway around house and comes off kitchen area as well) -small office/bedroom with built in / custom closet / storage and sliding glass door that goes onto deck -stairs off dining go up to 2 huge bedrooms with bathroom in middle, both rooms have doors leading to porch/balcony above -all rooms have vintage accessories like knobs and shit -all rooms have really cool built in hideaway cabinets/closets and stuff -Red house with green trim and saffron interior (kinda buddha like) all new paint and carpet, hardwoods in kitchen , tile in bath -Wood shed with wood, clothes line -Racoon proof chicken coop (no chickens yet) -Mature cherry, fig and other fruit and nut trees -lots of ornamental and herb bushes and stuff with self watering system -tons of clear land for yurt / tents / stuff...... about 2 acres -2 acres in back are all tress(Madronas, Fir, Cedar) with clear underbrush -firepits , long ass swing, benches , trails , located on dead end road with little neighbors, about 10 minute walk to beach -parking for anything, sand pit for kids or big poop box for kitties...lol -lots of windows, light, doors, common space, land, nature, opportunities, yeah Directly across the drive on same property there is the matching Cottage -@ 5 years old very modern -same color scheme as farm house -nestled more under trees with not as many windows and light tho -800sf -huge common space you walk into (only one entrance) -nice size kitchen with gas stove and modern fridge -huge bathroom with shower only -decent size bedroom -hardwoods with carpet in bedroom So she is renting each house separately with the Farmhouse at $1600 and the Cottage at $850. I know she is including utilities in the price for the cottage, I am not sure about the farmhouse. I will know by Tuesday. She would love to have renters in both houses to really know or resonate with each other so that may possibly eliminate any disharmony that could exist with unknown renters. Currently my dear friend Pixi http://people.tribe.net/41c819fd-a499-428f-9910-831c602df808 and I ultimately would love to be in the Farmhouse. However we cannot afford it between the 2 of us. So we are putting our feelers out to see if anyone is interested in really cheap rent to help supplement our rent. We are purposing to rent the 2 rooms upstairs at $650ea and try to find someone to rent the small room/office downstairs at $300. The room is seriously small but doable. I would guess not including the storage/closet area it is about 8x7 but could be a tad smaller or bigger, I could measure on tuesday when I go back there. But also realize you have your private door with deck from that room and lots of common space plus 4 acres. Plus tons and tons of storage and other added benefits in the house. Now the $300 would be for the room, if that doesn't include electric then you would have to pay 1/3rd of that, which my guess runs total about $100 monthly..?? The property is well water so no water bill and we are checking on garbage. There are landscapers that mostly take care of the property. More info to come. Now for the cottage is seems it would be best for some kind of working professional i.e. massage therapist (who can afford it) or someone who worked/lived out of the place. It is very lovely with lots of beautiful gardens on the property. $850 is a good deal for it, plus you get full access to the whole 4 acres. Currently we are holding out til next week and if there are no takers we will just take the cottage together and at least have our foot in the door of the property and hopefully get others to come in on the farmhouse. Our idea is to have everyone on the property be aligned with each other on a general basis when it comes to eco-social-spiritual consciousness. We want to be grounded in nature while we have to deal with everyday shit in the city. We are both fairly quite beings who enjoy art, movement, healing, sound, nature, animals, small intimate gatherings, fire, water, wind, earth.....me I am a massage therapist plus jack of all other trades, she is a mental health counselor who flies faery cabs thru your dreams at night..... OH pets are okay, we have 2 adult cats and 2 - 8 week old kittens between the 2 of us. All are indoor/outdoor cats, but clean and tidy we/they are. We also plan on chickens, maybe a dog and who knows what else may come along. She is only asking for a months rent as deposit plus your first months to hold the place and if you dont have that we can work out a deal,don't worry. So the property is located on the Southeast part of BainBridge in the EagleDale neighborhood. Its about 2 miles from the Lynwood towncenter and Fort Ward State Park and 4.4mi from the main downtown / ferry terminal. If you aren't familiar with the ferry and you live in Seattle but are considering moving out of the city this is the place. 30 minute ferry ride drops you off downtown Seattle to pick up any bus. Cost is $7 to come into Bainbridge and ZERO to get back to the city. Heres the Mapquest location, Property is at the east end of NE Pine Way http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Bainbridge+Island&state=WA&address=NE+Pine+Way+%26+Taylor+Ave++NE&zipcode=98110&country=US&latitude=47.6068&longitude=-122.513&geocode=INTERSECTION Please contact me here on Tribe or best would be my email at sijhay (@) photon (dot) net or even better on my cell at 206-491-0346 anytime. Let me know what you think and ask me any questions, even if you don't think you can or even want to do this, you never know what we can uncover in conversation. Many Blessings CJ

"....there is no joke anymore, you lost the ability to think.......what's the point? Well you're proving my point, that's the problem, the whole point is about mediocrity, but as I look around I understand that some of you aren't gonna get it."......Bill Hicks "I'm Sorry Folks" I first got exposed to Bill Hicks a long time ago and even though he is a cynical, sarcastic, demented, condencending, indelicate bastard....he speaks some real truths in his incensed delivery. I get torn sometimes about how much love to put out into the world. Of course I want to love everyone and all, but sometimes it is hard to do that and I feel He (Bill Hicks) points that out in his misanthropic views. For me I resonate with his delivery, for I can be a cynical bastard at times and a little too in-sensitive, just to try to "make my point'. Either way he makes for a good laugh (if you sensitive types can get past the angry delivery and language used), plus he puts what alot of us already hold true maybe in a different perspective. I mean we can read the likes of Chomsky, Tolle, Mckenna etc...and so on, but sometimes we need a more forceful delivery for the same message. What I love, goes with the quote above, which comes from the end of part 3 in the links, he totally is feeding this poor crowd with so much, they just don't get and he pretty much clues them in on the fact that they aren't clued in and they still don't get it....sometimes I really hate being around humans. Now this is not to say that I am perfect....hahaha....fuck no....I am far from that.....I am just saying I ain't really a human and sometimes that sucks.... enjoi if you wish... 1 of 5 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=W4nWv5rywp0 2 of 5 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=N1DFpmhEFTI 3 of 5 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=X6tppEgoI8g 4 of 5 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=BEMuRdrJON0 5 of 5 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=ddIAdXEJz8Q http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hicks

Birthday Wishes

chrisj — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:26:04 GMT

Ok so I had been wanting to post about history of my birthdays and where I am at now. However tribe has not let me on in about 2 days and now that it IS my birthday, right now, and I am on, I am tired and must sleep. However I did want to put out an invite to anyone who wished to celebrate my birthday. I expect the day and evening will be quite mellow and low key but who knows. Apparently the solid plans now consist of a potluck at my house at 515p, today Wednesday, and then we will be leaving around 715 to head to Church of Bass to Dance (Church of Bass is located at 920 Elliot Ave).......Thanks to Daenin for holding energy for this day, and I welcome anyone to stop by anytime throughout the day at our place or come see me at Dance..... Give a call as well if you like.... Love to you CJ 206-491-0346

Disclaimer: I had a hard time posting this, for I don't resonate with the info or picture, but somehow I got sucked into an evil obama vortex and it was sort of shocking to see/read what people have to say about this man.... Some people are just seriously screwed up, In My Opinion. I am currently sending love to all the haters out there, whether it's toward Obama or anyone. Please we just need love people... anyway...this is what fueled it for me... Pulled this from someone off of myspace. I have actually seen it around several times on bulletin boards....look out Satan's Return is near... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A Trivia question in Sunday School : How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations? Guess the Answer? Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is. Almost a four year term to a Presidency. All I can say is Lord Have Mercy on us. !!!!!! According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent , who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything . Is it OBAMA?? I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repostthis as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to s end it to a friend or media outlet...do it! I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere ======================================================================================================== Hhmmmm I really don't know what to say.....yet

Pen Dragon Needs a Plot for a Bit...

chrisj — Thu, 29 May 2008 19:12:36 GMT

So my Truck is broke down. Well it is fairly functional except the front right brake line is blown. It's seems to be a fairly easy and in-expensive fix, however in the moment I have not a lot of time, energy and money to fix it. It is currently parked on the city street on Capitol Hill and I suspect in a day or so I might have suspicious eyes reporting it to the Mafia of City of Seattle, where I will rack up parking tickets and eventually get towed. My plans shortly before the break down was to sell it, but now trying to sell a broke truck seems bleek, at least until I fix the brake line. It might take me a week or so to do that...??? I have it listed on craigslist.... http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/699308425.html but there is no telling when it will be sold.... so in the meantime, I do not want it to get towed because then I will rack up a huge goddamn bill from the towing company, which will have to be paid or I will loose my license..... I am seeing if there is anyone who has a patch of grass, concrete whatever that is NOT on a city street or if so, knows the neighbors won't call the city about it. I am sure I can find a way to have it towed there, it is drivable I just need someone hooked up behind me to stop me....anyway I am not concerned about the tow job, I just really need a spot for it to park. How Long??? Well until I get the brake line fixed..?? and/or it sells, which ever happens first.... I have not a huge amount of $$ but could offer a bit, plus I can offer Massages, Baby Sitting, House Cleaning, Cooking, general labor whatever seems reasonable. Basically if you have a patch for it to park that is not being used, the universe is asking YOU to circulate that energy and help a brother out....Please...I don't want a gigantic city bill and I need to try to sell it to make a little off of my initial investment into it. Also if you are interested in the truck it would be a nice project for someone, turning it into a mini-mobile-bio-diesel-veggie-oil camper unit..... or just part it out and make you money plus some back on it..... Plus if you are mechanically inclined and wish to offer you experience to help me fix the brake line, I definitely can compensate for that and that would be HUGE.....thank you..... Blessings CJ tribe mail me or call anytime...... 206-491-0346 **Not a pic of MY truck but this is what it is, except it is red....if that matters to you.....

May 21, 2008 at 115pm, 221pm and 256pm, 3 ALL Black Babies fell to this earth from their Mother's womb (Niandra)....So precious....I have been in-joy all freakin day....momma energy is so amazing. It was funny because I was working when she had them and Dae (my roommate) was home to assist and called me so I took off and came to be with her. But around the time of her labor I got really nauseated and sick (this was before I got the message on my phone) yeah I almost vomitted on a client....uggghhh.....

Kitties of the Light

chrisj — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:08:13 GMT

So Niandra (the feline, who chooses to reside with me) is ready to give birth any mOMent NOW. I am excited to facilitate this process for her. You know, not much I can do, but I feel it's important to let her know she is loved and cared for during this process. Plus I imagine I will help her with arrangement of the babies as they are out and more is coming. Plus making sure momma is replenished with energy as needed. Niandra came into my life this past fall. I must say I have experienced some interesting and deep moments with this beautiful being. My first meeting with her we actually exchanged words. Which I know is possible but it has never happened with me. I have only experienced communication with animals, prior to this occurrance, kinesthetically thru the emotional body . So to actually be able to hear the English Language coming from this Feline, while standing in a alley at 3 in the morning, was something new for me. She told me her name immediately, her age (1.5 then, now 2), she had babies last season and that she could make it on the streets, but winter is coming and having a comfortable home with a creature like me would be nice and that I would also have things to learn from her as well. So I told her I would have to think about it and talk to my roommate and I would get back to her. Originally bringing Niandra home was a test and she immediately became an inside / outside cat with 24 hours access thru a window with a tree and lots of privacy for her to hang out. She rarely would go away from the tree and the house roof across the fence. At least until recently, now I have been keeping her inside for about 1 month now due to her babies and I will be spaying her when she can have that. That is a topic I have gone around with for some time now... Over a brief time Daenin and I both knew she was a special kitty. To my best dissernment with the information I have, she is an Egyptian Ritual Master (at least thats one of her strongest emanations). She takes care of business around the house for sure. Letting us know if boogies are in and assist in devising a plan for removal and/relocation. Keeping a check on any leaks we may have in our sphere. Not only is she a good manager of our space, but she also works on us as well (well at least she has on me, I am not sure about Daenin). She does etheric surgery and chakra/energy balancing, all with here eyes and of course she is a perfect Reiki and Massage kitty at giving and receiving. Thank you Nia for your service. So as stated earlier she is going to give birth to probably 4-6 babies any day now. The babies will be with her for 2-3 months before they go to a new home. Currently I am feeling I cannot be responsible for another cat, so I am/will be looking for homes. I just want to ensure their safety, survival, comfort and happiness. Ofcourse this is way early and the I didn't write this post to find homes for baby kittens I wrote it because I am excited and I love Niandra and wanted to share that love with you. However with that said, if you would be interested in kitten(s) or know someone who would, please let me know and we can stay in the loop on when the babies are here, i will post pics and you can pic your kitty for when it' time for them to go. Thanks for reading.

chrisj — Sun, 04 May 2008 10:28:56 GMT

So I have been in the depths of music technology research for about a month now. WOW, dreams I have always imagined.....I think since I was like 6-7 years old I wanted to be a "Rock Star". Not totally about the rush of performing and living a seemingly exciting and very moving forward life style. I just felt the pulse of the music (whatever it was at any given time) and wanted to be in that. So of course the poster child Rock Star Fantasy plays a young child for many years. The history with my musical capabilities are quite glum. I have meagerly attempted several instruments throughout my life and couldn't seem to become inspired to really stick with any of them. I have always wanted to have the capabilities of creating, manipulating and playing sounds and composing them into music. Some of my earliest visions was of me wearing funcky, psychedelic and interactive outfits while I wore and carried around these small boxes with buttons, pads, sensors, switches etc.... I was basically a "one man show" creating visual and audio bliss to live audiences. The show would be very interactive where not only sights and sounds was part of the show but your other senses were fed as well. Anyway, needless to say my early environment didn't support those kind of visions. And yes we all choose where we want to be and I don't regret anything about my history, it's what got me where I am today, which I actually am very grateful for who I am and where I am in my life. But alas this Gemini sometimes gets distracted and for many years my child hood dream escaped his consciousness. NOT ANYMORE. I have began to re-remember. So the catalyst for all of this is sooo me it's not even funny. I finally got onto myspace several months ago. My intentions for the page was just another virtual link to my tribe page and my Healing Webspace.....I didn't really mess with it for awhile. Then I passed by goodfelllow's http://people.tribe.net/robintala a while back, which took me to his myspace page and after hearing his music was totally inspired and realized then that all musicians had a myspace page. So from Goodfelllow's page I figured his friends gotta be good too. Clicked on Souleyes page and it hasn't stopped yet. I have been collecting a lot of musicians who I find to be inspiring, started placing them on a blog space I have www.32dimensions.wordpress.com Then I came across a few like daddy kev and comma who had listed what equiptment they used. Okay now I have a platform of what some of the sounds I like are coming from. Anyways, I am pretty hyphed about collecting some gear and making sounds....So far I am really feeling like throwing down for some really cool stuff. Thinking that Elektron will be a center of my projects with their Machine Drum and Monomachine..... here's an okay session with them both side by side... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bFhDsu6uPY For recording aspects I feel MBox 2 Pro with Pro-tools will satisfy with maybe a MIDI Keyboard like Axiom 25. Who knows I do know I really like Elektron and the sounds both machine makes. Now the coolest thing I have found is what I feel will be the biggest revolution in learning/teaching music to future generations. This is the Axis-64 from C Thru Music http://www.c-thru-music.com/cgi/?page=home This is a MIDI Keyboard that works with patterns on the Harmonic Scale. Really to make major scales you play consecutive keys up and down, augmented and diminished play on a diaganol. To play chords it's all shape like triangles and other patterns. The keys are hexagonal so there are limitless possibilities. Imagine transposing sacred geometry to a Harmonic Scale, brilliant. I want one of these for me and for my son. This truely is a musical tool for indigos. Aaahhhh the visioning is always fun, but I am feeling kinethestic and what to apply some of this energy tactilely...in due time...Currently Manifesting Abundance, then I will then be able to create some Ambpsy~jungletrance~hyphydub~crunkstep with a little soul and a touch of glitchhop.... =^O - >>

chrisj — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:51:27 GMT

I am in a non-speaking mode lately, feeling like I want to go silent for a while, but non-the-less I still speak when I have to. I have felt words bubblin' up to the service for months now, wrapped around life, love, desire, happiness etc...still those words have not come to light. I sit at my computer to blog it out, which I have found in the past easy to do, but nothing surfaces, just emotional rage and/or depressional states. I find it hard to quiet my mind, still my body and listen to my inner voice. There are days where I reflect and can't find images or even feelings of what I did or where I was or who I was with. I feel like I am being invaded again, my psyche has been penetrated by (un)known forces. I feel my will power shrinking in certain situations and wish to regain or remember my identity so that I may walk my true path. My creativity doesn't seem to exist much these days, seems to coincide with decreased sexual desire as well. I mean yes on a mental level I desire sexual/intimate encounters but emotionally I don't even know who/what/when/where & how to engage sexually with others and on a physical level nothing is manifesting. My physical and spiritual body is very under nourished. I don't eat well, my wellness plan has pretty much dropped off the map (I do just enough to get through the day physically, but not enough to operate at an optimal level). I don't read anymore or study and improve on my practices. I try very hard to practice being Here and Now, surrendering to the mOMent. I try smiling and being happy by myself and with others, but honestly I just wanna rage, which if thats what is coming through in the moment then cool, but there isn't much positivity (true positivity, superfiscial sure but I try very hard to be positive) I feel I am channeling a lot of anger, resentment and lust these days toward myself and others. I feel very lonely. I don't really feel at home anywhere, except when I am in my own little pod and no one else is around, then it's just depressing. My family (except for superficial conversations with my Dad and Mom) doesn't communicate with me. When I am at Blessingsted (where my Son and his Mom live), even though it seems to be getting better with my acceptance of being there, it still doesn't feel like home. I feel I have no real friends I can depend on, call, be with etc...I definitely don't feel at home with any real community circle. I can't seem to get in a rhythym with ANY circle. I feel very far away and disconnected from the only lover I currently have. I wish to have other loves in my life but can't seem to connect with anyone on that level. There doesn't seem to be many mutant/hybrids that wanna kick it with me. With all of this I feel I understand mostly WHY. I mean currently I work long days, 4 days a week. The other 3 days I am either a 24hour a day responsible Dad or working long/hard days helping build a house. The few hours I have free on ANY of those days I just wanna soak in a bath, surf the net for music, sleep and it would be nice to connect with a lover. I am in debt with this truck that seems it will need continual maintenance to just keep it going, not to mention to get it to where I want it as a livable camper unit. I want to progress with my practice but have no energy to make that happen, aside from just figuring it out as I work 4 days a week, body by body. I am working on manifesting an internship at a recording studio (dreams of being a producer/engineer) I am stretched and yes it is all my choice to be this way. So how do I make all of this work for me. Well I am looking for the discipline to break out of my pod and physically connect in some sort of circle at least once a week (preferrably something involving movement and/or music) If once a month I made a bigger, more community event that would be nice as well. While doing this if I could manifest other beings to connect on deeper levels, cross pollinating seeds of consciouness for better health. If there was at least one person who desires to and shows effort to truely connect with me on a weekly basis. Truely connecting to me, doesn't necessarily mean sex, some down time (just chillin') is nice in moderation, but I really want to deeply connect with others. Through different modes, Connecting our chakra(s) harmoniously in order to open channels to other dimensions for exploration of our Universal Song and Dance. It would be nice to manifest a partner(s)-in-crime for total and complete annihilation of FEAR itself. In the end though we only have ourselves right? Why is it most of us feel we need connection with others to feel safe and secure. I ultimately would love to be totally and completely happy with just BEing with Me and only me. Bringing others into the equation always makes thing harder. But I do like challenges and I LOVE connecting on deeper levels with others. And besides it's really not all that fun when you are physically alone ALOT. I call upon the Universal Forces to come down and fill me with courage to realize my full potential in this life and start DOING it NOW. Whether I have one partner or 100 partners or ZERO partners. I am enough for me and I know others will see through me for I am WE. May We all know our potential. May we all be strong and unite (however that may truely manifest) with LOVE as we Shift through these times. Namaste' CJ Stone

Conscious Wireless Company

chrisj — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:26:52 GMT

So I saw a banner on a bus today about Cedo Mobile and looked them up. My Verizon plan is coming to an end and though I want a cell I don't want Verizon or any other sell out corporate company. Credo seems pretty cool. I mean they bash Cheney in their blog and have a Bush ring tone that says "This call may be illegally wiretapped by the Bush Administration. Thats MY administration" Fucking awesome. They donate 1% to progressive causes. Working assets is the actual company that started it all, plus THEY offer credit services, long distance land line services, along with mobile services all while promoting positive progressive activism. Their prices are pretty much the same without all the fine print as others. So next month I think I am going with them for cellular services. http://www.workingassets.com/Default.aspx

Obama in 30 Seconds

chrisj — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:47:24 GMT

I got this a few days ago. Hhhhmmmmm if only I had the time. But if anyone out there could put something good together quickly, $20,000 for an upgrade in gear, seems nice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear MoveOn member, Your mission, should you choose to accept it: make a 30-second TV ad that tells the nation why Barack Obama should be our next President. If you and your friends have writing, acting, or video editing talent--whether you're a total amateur or a total pro--now is the time to use your creativity to help Obama win. Today, we're launching an ad contest called "Obama in 30 Seconds." Anyone can make an ad about Obama between now and April 1. The public will vote on the best ads, and a panel of top artists, film professionals, and netroots heroes will pick a winner from among the finalists. (Judges include Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Naomi Wolf, Oliver Stone, John Legend, Donna Edwards, and Markos Moulitsas. The full list is below.) We'll air the winning Obama ad nationally, and the winner will receive a gift certificate for $20,000 in video equipment. Whether you're definitely interested or need time to think about it, let us know--we'll keep you in the loop as the contest proceeds. Get contest details, sign up, and watch a short video of MoveOn's Eli Pariser describing the contest by clicking here: Click here Every day, political insiders and pundits tell Americans what to think about the presidential race. But now, it's YOUR turn to take the megaphone. We want to run ads that are of the people, by the people, and for the people. So consider making an ad. If you have acting or writing talent and have a friend with video skills, join as a team! Or, pass this email to a friend who is good at making videos. This contest builds on the success of MoveOn's "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest in 2004--which resulted in thousands of videos and a great winner that aired nationally. Obama has already inspired many supporters to produce independent videos, and you can now be part of this movement. By combining all of our creative talent with the power of online video, we can help push Obama to victory. Thanks for all you do. --Adam G., Laura, Daniel, Peter, Ilyse, and the MoveOn.org Political Action Team Thursday, March 13th, 2008 P.S.

This just came from Goodfellow's Blog, down from Wasfia.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Friends, Below you will find a message from my good friend and Co-Producer Wasfia Nazreen, international journalist and Tibet activist. Over 15,000 Tibetans inside Tibet have risin to protest the over 50 year Chinese occupation! This is a bigger uprising than China has seen in decades, possibly since the occupation begun in the 50's! This is massive and it is happening NOW because of all the attention that the world is paying to China because of the '08 Beijing Olympics. The Olympic Torch will be passing thru SF on April 9th and Cyphertown will be throwing an event (watch out for this). Please be ready to activate and participate in the demonstrations and protests for Tibet in the coming weeks. Please read this very informative message from Wasfia and please follow the action suggestions and contact your elected representitives to take a stand for Tibet! This is a crucial moment in history for the Tibetan Culture (the most peaceful culture in the world that I've witnessed). The Dalai Lama has said that at the current rate of oppression and forced assimilation with in Chinese Occupied Tibet, the traditional Tibetan Culture will be completely lost and eradicated within 15 YEARS!!! This very well could be Tibet's last stand!!! Now is the time to stand with them. Please read and act and take some time in your evening meditation to send healing and supportive energy to these beautiful peaceful people who are rising for their own freedom! Blessings and Love, Robin Link to Wasfia's Blog: people.tribe.net/neelabell...e30f3e2166 For those of you who's been keeping up with the news, and those who haven't been… we've been really busy for the past while organizing a world-wide uprising for Tibet. And this March 10th, along with a series of protests that happened around the globe, protests INSIDE Lhasa broke out… which is VERY RARE given the strict Communist Chinese Regime that brutally controls their life. In horrific late breaking news, Radio Free Asia reported earlier today that up to 80 or more Tibetans have been killed in today's violent clashes with Chinese military. Click here to read more: www.rfa.org/english/tibe...ibet_protest/ A Danish tourist sent this email. . . "Lhasa is in flames. There are tanks/armoured vehicles driving round in the streets - what's going on is crazy . . . . it looks like a war zone. Almost all Chinese shops on the main street up to the Dalai Lama's Winter Palace have been set on fire." Chinese authorities responded with brute force today to ongoing protests in Lhasa and across Tibet. Supported by tanks, thousands of armed troops have sealed off the three major monasteries where NONVIOLENT protests were initiated on Monday the 10th. Chinese police have fired live ammunition into crowds of unarmed Tibetans and unconfirmed reports from eye-witnesses in Lhasa say that 26 Tibetans were gunned down outside Drapchi prison. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has issued a statement calling on the Chinese to show restraint and calling on Tibetans not to resort to violence. This appears to be by far the largest uprising in Tibet since 1989, and if unconfirmed reports are true, there may be more Tibetan casualties in the streets of Lhasa than at any time since 1959. We fear that as I write this, hundreds of Tibetans have been arrested and are being interrogated and tortured. We are still digesting the scope of this emergency and working the phones with governments, the media and others to bring pressure to bear on Beijing. While the international public and media have been appropriately horrified by China's clampdown, it is imperative that our national governments speak out in support for Tibet and condemn China's actions. Please call and write to your Elected Representatives and urge them to push their governments to strongly condemn China's crackdown in Tibet. Please see at the end of this blog for a sample letter. As I type this, I am getting news from Insiders that about 5,000 and 10,000 monks in Amdo and Lhasa province, respectively are RISING… Situations are really critical at this point. Simultaneously, on 10th March, the Exiled-Tibetans living in India started on their historic March back to Tibet (www.tibetanuprising.org) On the 4th day of the walk, the Indian Government forcefully arrested them- a struggle that was following Gandhian Non-violence and passive resistance tactics and now have put them under 14days of detention and trying to make them sign papers, with pressure from Beijing. They have also closed down highways from and out of Dharamsala, the Exiled-Tibetan capital and put up check-points so no Tibetan can get out and join the march. We are constantly updating our website so please check back from time to time on the progress. THEIR ONLY CRIME WAS THEY WERE WALKING HOME. If you're on Facebook, pls join the official group page of our March to Tibet @ www.facebook.com/group.php I was going to be in this walk, and I myself could have been in prison right now… and as I type this I cant begin to imagine the profound privileges that surround our lives.. Tibetans, at this moment, has absolutely NONE of that.. from one side they are being bashed by Beijing, and from another Mother India has now proven to be against their PEACEFUL struggle.. However, right now it is time for us to let the world know that Tibetans are NOT ALONE. And I trust and can count on each one of you. Tibet WILL be FREE.. With the spotlight on Beijing hosting the Olympic Games in August 2008, we now have greater power to positively bring changes in the lives of those oppressed inside. Those in SF, please remember April 9th is when the Olympic Torch is passing through this great city- when we need to MAKE SOME REAL NOISE!!!! Please help us.. we badly need EACH ONE OF YOU. The Revolution has BEGUN.. with a greater momentum than we expected, but it needs to be sustained and supported by the International Community.. For additional ways to help out in Lhasa, please consider the following: 1. Contact you member of Congress and ask that they call on China to release all detainees, and allow international media access to Lhasa. 2. If you know any tourists in Lhasa, or others who may have direct knowledge of what is happening in Tibet, please contact immediately at info@savetibet.org. 3. Events of support are happening around the U.S. and Canada.

For Freedom, Wasfia Nazreen freewastibet@gmail.com 415-259-1045 www.phayul.com --- [Sample letter] I am deeply disturbed to learn of the Chinese government's use of brute force against unarmed Tibetans inside Tibet. Supported by tanks, thousands of armed troops have sealed off three major monasteries near Lhasa, Tibet where nonviolent protests were initiated on Monday. Police have fired live ammunition into crowds of unarmed Tibetans and at least two people and possibly dozens are reported dead. Please urge the United States government to demand that the government of China: 1) Allow demonstrators to exercise their right to freedom of expression and assembly 2) Refrain from excessive use of force against Tibetan protesters; 3) Release all Tibetans who have been arrested or detained, and 4) Allow international media unobstructed access to Tibet. For five decades, the Tibetan people have suffered greatly under China's brutal rule. The Chinese government has swamped Tibet with Chinese settlers, poured money into mega-infrastructure projects like the railway that solidify its control, and ruthlessly attacked Tibetan culture and religion. As the Olympics approach and the world's eyes turn to Beijing, this outpouring of frustration is the natural consequence of China's ongoing repression in Tibet. Please speak out now to help ensure that futher violence against Tibetans is stopped. __________________________________________________________________ Below I'm also attaching some news links over the past 2-3 days..

http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=ff4bd6e2-1885-4c4b-b1c7-736826023989 China Tries to Cork Björk By Josh Grossberg Fri, 7 Mar 2008 03:22:08 PM PST RECOMMENDED (0) 0.0 COMMENTS (0) TEXT SIZE + A | -A Looks like Björk has gone and ruined the Tibet-praising fun of anybody planning a gig in China. Days after the Icelandic imp concluded a Shanghai show by shouting pro-Tibet sentiments, government officials are vowing to crack down on future outbursts from visiting performers. "We will further tighten controls on foreign artists performing in China in order to prevent similar cases from happening in the future," the Ministry of Culture said in a statement, per Reuters. "We shall never tolerate any attempt to separate Tibet from China and will no longer welcome any artists who deliberately do this." China invaded Tibet in 1951 and claims the province as part of its own historical territory. Human rights advocates have long decried Beijing's treatment of Tibetans, and many Western artists have rallied to the Dalai Lama's cause, calling on China to liberate the Himalayan region. Björk—who was part of the lineup of the all-star 1996 Free Tibet concert in San Francisco—ended her concert Sunday by chanting "Tibet! Tibet!" at the end of her song "Declare Independence." She then shouted the lyrics "raise your flag!" several times. According to the BBC, while there were no audible booing, many in the audience left the venue quickly once the show was over. The "outburst," as official Chinese media sites painted it, soon made headlines in the international press, forcing China's Ministry of Culture to issue a denunciation through state-run news agency Xinhua. "Some artist deliberately turned a commercial show into a political performance, which not only broke Chinese law but hurt Chinese audiences' feelings," the statement continued. "What Björk said in Shanghai has aroused strong resentment among the general public in China." The censorship-happy ministry asserted that the diminutive pop star's eruption "not only broke Chinese laws and regulations and hurt the feelings of Chinese people, but also went against the professional code of an artist." Not so, says the "Human Behavior" songbird. "I am not a politician," Björk wrote on her website. "I am first and last a musician and as such I feel my duty to try to express the whole range of human emotions. The urge for declaring independence is just one of them but an important one that we all feel at some times in our lives." "Declare Independence" was originally written in support of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, both in Denmark's domain, but Björk performed the track last month at a gig in Japan, dedicating the tune to the people of Kosovo, who had just split from neighboring Serbia. "This song was written more with the personal in mind but the fact that it has translated to its broadest meaning, the struggle of a suppressed nation, gives me much pleasure," she said on her site. A rep for the Culture Ministry has said that Björk would be banned from future appearances in the country if she repeated such taboo behavior.

Brilliant!!!

Holy Nexus....

chrisj — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:39:07 GMT

Things have been beautifully insane for me these last couple of weeks. Well I have been consciously trying to manifest a vehicle for like 2-3 months and I literally found pretty much exactly what I wanted, got the guy to hold it for me, raised the almost $2000 I needed to buy it, and received a really awesome running, strong and efficient diesel Suburban. Pen Dragon it has been deemed and it truley is. It's gotta 4" lift with 32" tires, 4x4 diesel with tons of room and towing capabilities. I will hopefully have it converted in the Summer to run off of Veggie oil, which is a little cleaner, and definitely sustainable. It gets excellent milleage at 20mpg, not bad for a Suburban. Besides the reason I got it was for trips and camping with Seth and friends. I feel like a different person driving this huge frieking rig man. Also I have been working out some schedule issues and now I finally have my weekends free of business obligations. It is open for my Son, gifting my services to more community places and dancing my booty off wherever I feel called. And now with this vehicle I now have my son on a regular basis. So tonight has been my first 24 hours with him since Nov 4th. He lives in Enumclaw, which is like an hour away and due to logistics and not having a vehicle on either end, I have not seen him since then. Pen Dragon sets that straight. Yeah all day was so much fun with Seth. I had some things to do downtown and he just rode his Razor all around the Hill and Downtown, playing in parks and mini explorations is always so nice with him. And also it seems I will be going into a new living situation. I love my situation where I am at now but I do not like the physical location and a lot of aspects because of that. I really want a HOME, where I can easily and comfortably have my son, where real community can have great opportunities to come together, where I am living more ecologically sound, where I can explore and build what I wish to have around me. I think I have found that. Lots of huge transitions in the last week or two. Is Spring here yet???? My goddess it has been so gorgeous, of course my experience with Feb in Seattle is Clear Skies and Sunny, then Mar and Apr flips the coin, either way, thank you Momma Gaia for your beautiful Sunshine and your delicious waters to nourish the forest and crops with.
