Having completed my tenure as a carny, I went to stay with a Couchsurfing (website) contact. Delissa is a sparkling, energetic, little powerhouse of a woman. She lives by herself in a big ole house she bought, and had just gotten back from a whirlwind couchsurfing tour of the middle east. She told me that her house was my house now too, and to feel completely at ease. It took me a bit to adjust and trust that, and to act like myself. I have never met someone so deeply religious and completele...

We packed up all the rides last night, after working since 7a.m. and dealing with a huge holiday crowd. lots of lifting and hammering and carrying big pieces of steel. This morning we got the few details left done and sent the rides on to their next destination. They didn't pay the crew last night, even though weds is the usual payday and they oviously had plenty of cash on hand. I aim to stick right with them till I'm paid what I'm owed. heres the catch though, since the skeezy fuckers are t...

A guy, one of their drivers, simply saw me trying to hitch out of oklahome city. asked me if...

So, to continue with the hitch story...There I am in the middle of the palm springs desert area, at this horrid huge truckstop. There is a crazy looking black dude who has been there for days. I spend several hours on the on ramp hitching in what turns out to be 105 degree heat. I am starting to feel wobbly and doubt seriously my chances of getting a ride that day. Anyone who has done serious hitching will know that this is about the time a ride usually materializes. Ans so it was, a nice man...

about me
If I were a flower it would have blue-black iridescent petals and smell like old books and molasses. If I were a song it would actually be an old photo of an etching of a steam train in one of those little glass shakey-snowflake water dioramas. I refuse to conform or be categorized. I exibit unusual tendencies. I am as cozy with my energetic 6th senses as I am with the regular senses.. We are really "receivers" floating through a kaleidoscopic sea of frequency, and what we extract from this sea and transmogrify into physical reality is but one channel from many extracted out of the superhologram. I stole that last sentence. Synchronicity and coincedence spiral out from my being to the past and future. I have removed my filter so you get it straight from the brain stem with me, So I'm learning to just hold my tounge. I threw away my societys yardstick, and I now judge myself by my own krooked staff. I reccomend thinking and analyzing, What is your role in the whole? what real impact do you have on your immediate surroundings and associates? Have you developed your own take on spirituality, or do you simply follow some outdated dogmatic system? Do you even know what you really want? As we approach 2012 and the edges of reality begin to fray and mingle, as the bizarre becomes commonplace and the pace of the pace of changes can't keep up with itself. Will you fall apart with the crumbling empire? Or have you been waiting to lead the new way?

whenever i am in the mood to watch cartoons, i think of zed....
and if i think about him for a solid twenty minutes, he will call within three hours. this is a documented fact. his cell phone may suck, but he definately has good reception with the brain waves....
