You speak about social issues, but it's somewhat
hard to understand you.
About me: An Iconoclastic Adventurer seeking kindred spirits.
I like Circles, more than Squares.
I think outside the box, I'm very tactile, and, I'm a non-linear multitasker.
I love all Critters (except fire ants) & I consider Nature to be my Church.
I've got a black lab experiment named Zeel.
Dogs and children always love me.
I'm kind of a geek & a Macintosh Maven.
I'm very creative with playtime.
I love being outdoors, especially in the water,
and I know all of the best swimmin holes.
I believe there is more to drumming - than just music!
I'm organized and chaotic, simulteaneously.
I'm the kind of free radical that is actually good for you!
I'm optimistic and tend to make others feel good about themselves.
I can be funny, spontaeneous, & often a wee-bit wacky.
I always drink alot of water. Fine coffee is my 2nd favourite drug.
I'm a very loyal friend - with a sharp & playful tounge.
I'm also found @ Yahoo IM: Gnastique
Who I'd like to meet: Those with excellent and diverse musical sensibilities.
Passionate people! Free Souls! All Those who are interested in Liberty & Sovereignty, or Hicks (Bill or Abraham)
You might teach me something new, or share some music / art / ideas.
You might blow my mind with your imagination.
You are sane (mostly) & not too bitter.
You love trees and dislike at least one Bush.
You practice all 3 of the classic greek loves
(i.e. Philia, Agape, and Eros) every once in a while.
Possibly a good friend.
Maybe even a brilliant, empowered & kind woman?
You might be a Modern Primitive.
Can you operate comfortably in both worlds?
You care about what is happening on our planet, &
in your own neighborhood.
You enjoy reading, and you may have read Thomas Friedman or Abraham-Hicks
You've got something good to share with the world... And you DO IT!

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I came across some stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, the fundamentals are still relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
