After much consideration I've decided to sell my pyramid structure. I sold it to Eran (DJ Psychobeat) and Treavor Wyse (Green Sector) who for years have expressed interest, admiration, and appreciation of my work. Not only will they put it to good use but also put it out in the public's eye more than I ever could. Eran and Treavor Wyse (Greensector) are partnering up to share its ownership and if you'd like to use the structure at your event please contact them.

I occasionally and randomly browse through the many profiles and pictures here in our virtual community. I've seen some amazing work and wanted to dedicate a space on my page to show other people's "interesting images." The above image will be changed periodically and will have a link to the person's page. Any previously used images will remain in my photo album for reference. Enjoy.

We all need need a little humor in our lives:

Letter to Redneck Son

Dearest Son

I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast.

We don't live where we did when you left home.
Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved.

I won't be able to send you the address because the last
Gander family that lived here took the house numbers
when they moved so they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is really nice.
It even has a washing machine.
I'm not sure about it.
I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain.
We haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time for three days and the second time for four days.

Auntie Maude has sent you a pair of socks she knit,
she put a third one in because she heard you have grown
another foot since she last saw you.

About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

Jimmy locked his keys in the car yesterday.
We were really worried because it took him two hours
to get me and your father out.

Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet, so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle. The baby looks just like your brother.

Uncle Bobby fell into a whiskey vat last week.
Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck.
Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back.
They drowned because they couldn't get
the tailgate down.

There isn't much more news at this time.
Nothing much out of the normal has happened.

Your Favorite Aunt,

Mom

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.” -

... the winds of change are blowing, a new self emerges from the old... life is an ongoing process of change, of restructuring, rebuilding, repairing...

... I once watched a little boy build a magnificent sand castle on the beach, his face straining from the concentration. Upon finishing it he stood back and admired his accomplishment. He stood proudly for a few fleeting moments. He played in the sand castle for hours, enjoying every minute of it. Eventually he became somewhat disinterested and didn't pay any attention to it. He left only to return at a later time, thinking it would last forever. He was devastated to find that the tide had washed it away, without leaving a trace. In fact, he no longer recognized the spot of ground on which he had built this childhood dream of his. The little boy walked away, sad, but smiled as he remembered how much he enjoyed it while it was there and even thought of building another one next time he came to the beach...

... the ebb and flow that is life will inevitably create and destroy all around and within us. Change is the only constant.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create- to create- to create- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of beauty and meaning his very breath is cut off from him.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't
serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure
around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us;
it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the
same.

automatically liberates others." -

"troubled times, these.
somehow it seems the earth has changed form. somehow we didn't notice.
hazily, we were round, fecund, dangerous and yes luminescent.
we were. we were ivy and rotting and birthing and fucking. we were.

there are those of us still who hear, those who tear the fabric back
insistently. those
who remember the way it used to be, who infiltrate the sleeping amongst us
who siren call in whispers "remember!"

ah yes the earth...
she has changed her form. now metallic fabrics and painted faces.
somehow with our vast technology our revolutions, our fortitutions
we didn't notice. how can this be? globally blindsighted.
and now this round fecund ball is oblong and moonshined and drifting.

did we lose her? it's true she speaks only to a few.
and those who speak her are heralded lunatic.

we are a peculiar breed.

but there is a peeling, a desperate cloying peeling. it's global. i feel
it.

a cloying clamouring peeling in binary form, a peeling back of code and owed
and lines towed.

i am certain it was a harpy outside my window yesterday.
some deep round fecund part of me awoke before my sleepy hollows and
caffeine filled limbs. that part of me woke, slipped through the ether of
keys and data and instant psychic access and joined her on the boughs.

it came later as a dream, or perhaps a soggy flash website...

even oblong and obsolete she has not acceded defeat.

we are of the team that conjures her form. collaborators of a dark gossamer
fetal state. we wait. we wait. we wait." -

Letting go-
Let it be-
Let it burn-
Ultimately, when you try to embrace something that isn't there, you hold on to yourself and nothing more-
Tonight, a full moon-
Surround myself in music-
Wrapped in my dark wings, learning to be, learning to breathe, as if a newborn child-
Tasting the dream on the plate that reality has given me-

"All lovers lost are found within the heart of darkness"

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Everything happens for a reason-
Or not-
Life feeds on life-
Knowing what you are, what you want, IS the journey-Believe in yourself-
That's all you will ever really have-
Hold onto yourself even if you can't keep those dreams from running through your fingers, that love from seething out of your heart-
Keep going, maybe it will make sense one day-
Hope-
Keep an ideal alive yet be realistic about the function-
Know yourself, know your worth, know your value-
Dream, but know these dreams and see the dawn for what light it must bring.

"Precious"
Depeche Mode-Playing the Angel-Sire records 2005


Precious and fragile things-
Need special handling-
My God what have we done to you-
We always tried to share-
The tenderest of care-
Now look what we have put you through-

Things get damaged-
Things get broken-
I thought we'd manage-
But words left unspoken-
Left us so brittle-
There was so little left to give-

Angels with silver wings-
Shouldn't know suffering-
I wish I could take the pain for you-
If God has a master plan-
That only he understands-
I hope it's your eyes he's seeing through-

Things get damaged-
Things get broken-
I thought we'd manage-
But words left unspoken-
Left us so brittle-
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust-
Have faith in both of us-
And keep room in your heart for two-

Things get damaged-
Things get broken-
I thought we'd manage-
But words left unspoken-
Left us so brittle-
There was so little left to give.

She Wants Revenge-She Wants Revenge-Flawless/Geffen records 2006


Late last night I was looking through pictures-
Flooded with memories I lie on the floor-
And spread them around me like friends at a party-
Their faces remind me of all that I've known-

Still I can't forget-

All the hushed who and why's-
All the fiction and lie's-
All the tears and the laugh's-
Take a walk through the past-
You and I, hand in hand-
As we look at this thing called us-

Late last night I was pacing the hallway-
Reading the letters you'd signed X and O-
I turned out the lights and imagined you with me-
I tried my hardest to cry but it just wouldn't come-

Still I can't forget-

All the hushed who and why's-
All the fiction and lie's-
All the tears and the laugh's-
Take a walk through the past-
You and I, hand in hand-
As we look at this thing called us.

"She loves me, she loves me not"
She Wants Revenge-She Wants Revenge-Flawless/Geffen records 2006


Felt too much, did she feel a thing?-
Long dark hair, never saw her cry-
In two halves, I was torn-
My maybe love who wouldn't even try-
She loves me, she loves me not-
I saw you only yesterday-
We shared a smile-
Then went our seperate ways-
Perhaps one day...-
Nevermind-
All those nights we shared, were we just killing time?-
For all the things I said to her, and all the ways I tried-
And all the things I did for her, they're lost with one goodbye-
She loved me, she loved me not.
