- clear blue skies and bright white icy snow melting on the ground. i remember the good old days, with good music and a simple lifestyle. i remember the quiet times and times with friends, family, and alone. these memories are yours, because i have given them to you, my friend. enjoy the moment, change, and thought. watch the passing of time.

- Two Faces
- I have accepted my face. And, I, for now, have two faces. I can smile and laugh and talk with you, or I can simply turn, look you dead cold in the eyeball, and appear completely objective, stern, and in control. When I look at you with both faces, you become restless, confused, and overwhelmed. Do not fear little one, I come in peace, yet I come in pieces.
- Two Faces Two
- Even when I am outraged, and the right side of my face is angry and intense, there is calm in the storm. Simply follow my left face, which remains entirely mellow and detached. As if I were one again.
- Two Faces Three
- When I woke up this morning, preparing to do some light traveling, I felt fine. And, despite my car needing sudden and immediate repairs, eventually found my way to Seattle without incident. Yet, during the ride, I remember noticing a bizarre taste on the left side of my mouth. Also, the left side of my face felt different -- at the time I first noticed this, I could not define the precise nature of such difference, but I am sure things had changed somehow. While in Seattle, visiting friends, I became aware of the fact that, when smiling, I was only able to smile using the right side of my mouth. ...

- Planning with Detachment
- Editor’s note: the following is an unedited excerpt from a spontaneous thought stream captured while exploring a chemically altered state of consciousness -- i.e., not to be taken too seriously. Any spelling, grammatical, and/or other errors appear below as they exist within the original text and have been left unedited for full effect. planning with detatchmentt: //how is art categorized in the mind? by which mechanisms are images organized, classified, and understood? consider alternate possibilities concerning how art is thought of and appreciated. look at a trash can. find one. now look at it, for a moment, and ask yourself what you "think" it is. what words come to mind? is it "green", ...

- December 2002
- it has been fire for two months at least and now it is time to rebirth into a new creation. who will i be this time and what about the universal consequences? i need to know these things before I return. after that, it’s ibuprofen. for now, i will draw and paint and mix my music. i will work and play and breathe and smile. it’s a different kind of blue.. seriousness in art and not seriousness in art. be inside and see outside softly reveal. focus or die. fast or slow reap what is sown reap what is sown reap what is sown disown and involve vision, interest wonder. and maintain a steady diet of nothing... shout with balance and fear the Lord in time, this too will pass. friends and enemies dry ...
- Dune Lakes Adventure
- Our second visit to Dune Lakes (with audio recorder and video camera)...
- June 2002
- And yes, you know as I know -- the secret of the Lake: early morning freshly fallen dew filling your nostrils, big sky days, and the chillest of sunsets and evening ambiance air still warm from the afternoon heat as the sun goes down -- so quiet, so calm, only the sounds of crickets and creatures clicking and chirping and croaking their way into those glorious, panoramic galaxy star-filled glow-moon nights.
- May 2001
- Yes it is that time again. that time to write right what it is that must be thought of looked at and expressed throatly so. so silent i sit here screaming my fingers through this iconoplastic monstrosity. and i see my hands and sad to say see they are withering slowly away yet surely yes they seem to be and i will let it go knowing that soon they will be mine no more. i can move them with full control now i smile and sit patiently for the thought to come in like the melodic envelope of that high high synth that echoes so magically above my head soars head ...

- July 1999
- this world that rapes us hates and kills us we fight and fight and fight but to no avail because the world has us trapped. never a thing of peace only striving after vanity and lofty wishful thinking. everything about everything will fuck with you while demanding full compliance with its every desire saying, "be this way do that for me only me think of me love me." full conformity yet not enough for this world. 7-99

- No Support for Millionaires
- Business trips, belated reality. Soon before forgotten business, there was pleasure. Good pleasures hated bad business, they fought always. Business before pleasure then business then pleasure. Soon there was no business nor pleasure to be found. The people panicked. Business was back but no pleasure. Shocked, the people locked their businesses, they ran for pleasure and hid from leisure on the day that business took over.
