My Testimonials

May 30, 2007
Dr Placebo came into my life unexpectedly, bringing a rideshare, sarongs, songs, ice cream and a shoulder to cry on. What a singularly wonderful man.
Respectful, patient, incurably wonderful. Talented musician. Deep thinker. Dreamer. I am so pleased to know you.
My life has been changed for the better simply because you are my friend.

Dr. P is a special guy... he has this gentle, calming energy, and a wicked sense of humour that has won me over. It's fun to get to know people after you met them in BED. ;)

Dr. Placebo is a smart and devoted servant of all that is good. He and his love partner Mary run workshops on intimate partnerships as spiritual practice. He gives tirelessly of his time and energy to the Bureau of Erotic Discourse (B.E.D.). A man quietly committed to helping humans evolve, he is intelligent, funny, kind, and wise. He makes life more centered and hopeful than it was before.

about me
I'm not such a bad guy once I get to know me.

That he is mad, 'tis true: 'tis true 'tis pity;
And pity 'tis 'tis true: a foolish figure;

Quotes

If you knew how many people love you, then you would have no fear. [Unknown]

“Forgiveness is the name of love practiced among people who love poorly. The hard truth is that all of us love poorly. We need to forgive and be forgiven every day, every hour –unceasingly. That is the great work of love among the fellowship of the weak that is the human family. ” -- Henri Nouwen

"Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices." -- François-Marie Arouet

"In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican." -- H. L. Mencken

“That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.” -- John Stuart Mill

Irregular Thoughts

I'm anxious. What if I forget something?

I'm exhilarated. What miracle will occur there?

I'm harried. Why is there never enough time?

I'm sighing. Why does this event move me to tears?

I'm resentful. Why is it so far and so much work?

I'm hopeful. What will I learn this time?

I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.

I've been to FM 2008, BM 2008, and a bunch of other places, and I've neglected to blog at all. It's been a good year. I have everything I need and then some. I do not know how I came by such bounty, because I know people with less who deserve it more.

OK, here's a little tidbit I recently ran across, thanks to www.dailykos.com. Apparently, there are conservatives who think that Stephen Colbert is a serious conservative:

Despite being old enough to know better I remain an optimist. It is not because I feel that everything has been good, or is good, or will be good. It's more because I desire things to be better and I find that optimism is the most practical way to get there.

Being a pessimist is a form of laziness. It enables one to sit on the sidelines and moan about how awful it all is, and how much worse it will become. "Why bother?" the pessimist asks. And by taking that attitude the pessimist be... read more

The Placebo Effect

Re: A note to "Generation Whine" (in Burning Man) While we are jawing in this thread about whether the boomers are collectively guilty for stealing the wealth that should have been there for those born in later generations, I have this feeling that the rich bastards who actually do the crime are ... read more

Re: Virgin here, volunteer for 2010 (in 2010 Burning Man Virgins) For what it's worth, Lynn, 2010 will be my 12th burn, and if luck holds it will be the first for my spouse. It's been a matter of being honest and maintaining boundaries. Good luck!

Re: books and movies with a burner vibe?? (in Burning Man) The relationships in "Shortbus" (by James Cameron Mitchell) remind me of the playa, even though the film is set in NYC.

Re: Please purchase at the level you can afford. (in Burning Man) Damn, I agree with Crypto again.

The assumption by some people that those with less are in their situation due to some moral or ability shortfall is uninformed, at best. At worst it becomes a blind cruelty and a way to assert a moral superiori... read more
