About me: MAD, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence; not conforming to standards of thought, speech and action derived by the conformants from study of themselves; at odds with the majority; in short, unusual. It is noteworthy that persons are pronounced mad by officials destitute of evidence that they, themselves are sane.
My band is called Wildberry wine. We're sweet, but supple. Dangerously robust with a slight hint of oak and legs that stretch for miles.

If you've got 20 minutes to spare, do dive into this great lecture by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the bestselling "Eat, Love, Pray", on the power and mystery that is (universal) creativity.
The world is changing, the citizens of life are choosing sides. We are soldiers fighting on the battlefield of Mind. Arjuna Arise! Speak your heart, meet your eye! Learn to love yourself and find no line between me or you, us or them. Do not succumb to the pressures of old systems or deep patterned fears. Reclaim your reality and your right to create one better. Replenish your karma. Seek divinity within, discover a new truth - subjectivity. Spread your wings. The journey of life is a spiritual one. Be not attached to that beyond yourself. All things except you are illusory, material, atoms in flux.
You are eternal.
Wake up.
I am currently in studio working on the new album "Hamartia" with my band of All Stars - Wildberry Wine.
