I'm a huge fan of unadulterated self-expression. I am an artist as well
though not of a typically "traditional" vein. I do what I do to allow gifted artists to focus on their craft. I am a proud patron of the arts and I follow my heart with hopes it will lead me down the appropriate path. I live and I learn. I'm Neesh. What up?
Here's a quote I saw today that made me think about the priorities in life;
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered...You must understand that and strive for balance in your life."~Brian Dyson
I hope that you have been able to keep things balanced, I am trying harder to! ROCK ON! Karen :)

Lots of cool stuff on tap, including a new Woodstock DVD, a new VH1 Documentary, and a Memoir of my life.
Please help me spread the Spirit of the Woodstock Nation. Stop by my site, read my Blog, and leave me a message. I go online from time to time, and chat with Friends.
Man, I would..'ve loved to have been in the band..'s area for a while, that must..'ve been quite an experience! And yeah, I think it..'s gonna be a sci-file type thing, it..'s still a work in progress DxAnd I know, that exactly why I love it so much!! The level of musicianship and intelligence involved in it Is just so amazing to me, so much more satisfying than other music.And you named tons of my favorite bands there: TMV, Rush (who I..'ve seen and have an amazing live show!!), Pink Floyd, Tool, DT.... Oh and The Fall of Troy and Circa Survive, I love them too. I have yet to listen to 3 and King Crimson, but I..'ve been wanting to for a while now...MAn, I would..'ve loved to have been in the band..'s area for a while, that must..'ve been quite an experience!
