Interests

  • General

    My interests include spiritual experiences, "metaphysical" energy, nature, perception and awareness, electronic music and music making, meditation and making up my own pseudo-tai chi or dance (though not as much as I used to.) If nothing else, I try to spend some time in nature as often as I can.

    I have an interest in spiritual and emotional experiences induced by psychedelic drugs and strongly believe they can be significantly more powerful than any form of meditation or prayer alone. However, for the time being, the actual use of them has become a thing of my distant past.

    I also enjoy small all-night alcohol free techno events (pretty much non-existent in Spokane anymore)

  • Music

    BT, way out west (jody wisternoff, nick warren), underworld, the orb, orbital, the chemical brothers, hybridized.org, max graham, amoeba assassin, andy gray, four tet, some jars of clay, some nickle creek, ulrich schnauss, bruce hornsby, some enya, some enigma and kirsty hawkshaw, old psychedelic music, tool, a perfect circle, puscifer, anything by maynard keenan.
  • Books

    I must have at least skimmed over most of what was on wikipedia a several years back (there was less information on there then!) I've read about psychedelic drugs for many years. i have spent numerous nights digging up information on, or exploring topics ranging from religion and spiritualities to the golden ratio, or whatever i need - or feel compelled to look into.

    I believe that most of man's knowledge and endeavors is striving - perhaps hopelessly - towards (or in the face of) transcendental, divine, emotional, earthen, cosmic, spiritual and what mckenna called "the felt presence of direct experience"

  • Heroes

    Terence Mckenna. Really anyone who is interested in consciousness expansion rather than social, economic and political systems is a hero. Anyone who would do almost anything to expand their mind and awareness, have spiritual experiences and steer the world away from destructive systems and behaviors is a hero. Unfortunately most people are anti-heroes because they spend their time working for money and products while the earth and true spirituality and experience is destroyed. Unfortunately the only way to fight that is to change your mind and your life. No one said being a good person, or a spiritual person would make you wealthy, comfortable, healthy, powerful or popular.

    Oh yeah, cassettes tapes were the best, haha. Thanks!! I went to New York for my birthday. It was AWESOME. My brother lives there, so Lance and my mom and I went for a whole week. There is so much to see and do there and there is always a ton of people around. It sucked coming back to work, ugh. So how are things going with you??
  • Oct 2 2009 4:09 PM

    Wow, well at least some people showed up. I love your music, and you know that I will try and make it to the next one for sure!! Hope you have a great weekend!!

    Hi Shannon,
    So sorry I couldn't make it to your fundraiser. I got stuck at work, blah!! How did everything go?? Will you be having another one?? I would like to see you DJ again sometime.
  • Sep 20 2009 4:15 PM

    Oh yeesss, Lance is as organic as they come, haha!!
  • Sep 8 2009 4:08 PM

    Awesome, I will be there. I don't go to WSU, so I don't have the swine flu, hehe. I am not a Sarah Palin fan anyways, hahaha.
    What do they mean  by 'fresh food'?? Is Lance considered 'fresh food'??
  • Sep 1 2009 4:13 PM

    Wow, that's cool. I have not been to Raw yet, but it sounds like fun. I had a good weekend, I don't think Crystal Method is touring in the U.S. anymore. It was a lifetime experience seeing them though!! We got a driveway put in (there was just dirt there before) and I had some family come into town so it was nice!! I am looking forward to a three-day weekend!!
    Oh okay, I will have to check it out!!
  • Aug 31 2009 4:07 PM

    Oh yeah, I was wondering what kind of place this was, like a women's shelter or something. I don't know a lot about fund raising either, so don''t worry about it. I'm sure it will be awesome. And you still have awhile to plan it!! It's hard to ask people for money, especially with the way the economy is now. How was your weekend??
  • Aug 27 2009 4:10 PM

    I don't know how far Boyds is from Rockville or Bethesda. At least we're from the same state. You will have to wear the pants sometime again, just for old times sake, haha. What exactly are you doing for the fundraiser??
  • Aug 24 2009 7:39 PM

    Haha, oh yeah, good times!! AOL sucked, I'm so glad I don't have them anymore. I bet I did pass by him at some point. He would have been 8 when I was born, weird!! I think I read that about him. He's from Rockville and was born October 4th or something.
    Oh yeah, I remember those pants!! Do you still have them?? That was a house Lance and his friend and his friend's sister rented. I would never live in a slum like that, yuck!!
    So are you getting ready for your big show next month??
