"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~

Egocentriscim is good for your state of mind. It helps you focus on what you want to achieve. But it is only useful if it is placed in the context of what happens to others. Ignorance is unavoidable but it is no excuse. Noam Chomsky, Ian M Banks, Hunter S Thompson, Index On Censorship, Charles Leadbetter, Arthur Schopenhauer

About me: "If you don't talk a lot you lose some of your ability to do so. When the time comes to speak, you find yourself at a loss for words. They don't work well for you and you end saying a bunch of shit that you don't mean or don't understand. What a fucked up position to be in . To talk and not understand yourself as you hear the words come out of your mouth";
Henry Rollins.
"The vanity of existence is revealed in the infiniteness of time and space contrasted with the finiteness of the individual in both";
Arthur Schopenhauer.
"It is only one one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on";
Sun Tzu.
"Today a young Man on acid realised that all matter was merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one conciousness experiencing life subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves";
Bill Hicks.
"Before none of your printed idols do I bend in acquiescence, and he who saith 'thou shalt' to me is my mortal foe!";
Anton Szandor LaVey.
"One toke? You poor fool! Wait till you see those goddam bats.";
Hunter S. Thompson.
"Certain inconsistencies in people's actions seem to appear when you examine them in detail";

I do many things. I play guitar and bass in Djevara, Susan Acid, Sour Grape Project, and Bleak. I live in, and help run The Low Fidelity Disconnect. The rest is academic. All books, and words.
Music is my voice, and though I may at times falter and fall over my words, my message is there for all to hear.
I believe in freedom of expression, that is the first.
I don't believe in any of the multitude of bogus deities that flaunt their wares like so many car salesmen, but I take exception to those who counter that I 'believe in nothing'.
I believe in everything that's real. I believe in liberty and virtue, I believe in hope and creativity, I believe in war and famine, I believe in intellect and understanding, and I believe in ignorance and stupidity.
I believe in these things because they are all proven to l exist.
Who I'd like to meet: Harry Manback. I'd ask him what he did to get that guy so upset. Then I'd recommend ex-directory.
Dude, of course I'm still interested in putting on that show. I'm waiting for Mike to come back from the States. I'll have a look at some dates in July as I think I've got a bit of time off from the Longfellows then.
I have reason to believe it is your birthday soon. Let me be first (I'm sure) to congratulate you on your continued survival. It is indeed cause for much celebration.All is well with my good self.
I would have tried to make it but i'm actually in London this weekend! Good luck with the gig. Leeds generally appreciate a heavy sound. I reckon your band will go down much better than ours at the mixing tin !
héhé yes we feel like a fascist country now, it's quite the same : we call him BerluscOZY... his best friends : big bosses of newspapers who owns weapons industry too... I don't know if you understand my fucking english but I'm sure you understand that we are in the shit... bad days for culture....
and what about you and your friends?
cheers from the palm trees!
Dude, Tool at Brixton Academy on August 21st- you going? Thought you and Bass might be going to this, if you are, I'm heading down for it and some mates of mine in London are going too, would be cool to meet up if you're up for it.
