I like to point lights, lasers and lenses at things. I like mixing eccentric electronic music. I like eating food that isn't poison. I'd like to think I'm working against the military-industrial complex, corporate America, and for-profit religion, but I know I'm not. I'd like to think the planet isn't dying, but I know it is.

In general, I give light to the darkness, while being rather dark myself. I'm a difficult person, and even more difficult to get to know. I see the world clearer than most, but often miss what's right in front of me. I wear the peace sign and write "born to kill."
The Dan the Illuminator FAQ:
I. Complex, contradictory and conflicted, I'm not all things to all men, but many things to many people.
I am the Illuminator, the Photographer, the Recognizer. What I lack in charm I make up in soul. My life is probably best explained by my Flickr
page.
II. I'm not nearly as stand-offish a prick as I first appear, but I'm selective in my dealings.
A. Please, no missionaries, salesmen or stalkers.
III. I have a radio show now
in its fifth ninth(!) year.
IV. My online presence is largely confined to my musical interests:
V. Whatever I am interested in, I am obsessed by. Currently it's ...God only knows. Take your pick: politics, headphones, photography, the end of the fricken world.
VI. I never leave well enough alone.
A. This is why my light setup is never quite the same twice.
VII. I'm not on MySpace for some "who can get the most friends" contest.
A. If you've got 52605 friends already and I've never heard of you, don't even bother asking.
B. If you're someone I know, or someone who has half a clue and something in common with me, feel free to send me a friend request.
VIII. My profile is not the advertising section of MySpace.
A. Don't post huge flyer graphics that fuck up the formatting. They will be deleted so fast they get whiplash.
B. Fluid flyers will be tolerated for the time period that they are relevant.
Guess I'm in that 9%....
我想認識:
On MySpace? Fuck knows. I view this site as a necessary evil.
Professionally? DJs who remember to pay me. Especially ones who spin music I like and haven't completely crawled up their own ass yet.
Personally? Believers. People with faith, wisdom and patience. Anyone who's had their eyes opened.
Who do I not wanna meet? Republicans, cokeheads, corporate shills, meatheads, anyone affiliated with the military-industrial complex, the average American.
WE need to go out for YOUR birthday and take a picture of US to put in YOUR present from last year. Wow it's been a year already??? Hey do you like to snowboard or want to learn?? I want to go snowboarding next weekend (sat or sun). I'm still learning and stay on the bunny hill. I may even take a lesson. Do you want to go with me?
In his own words: "In all honesty, I thank you for the opporunity to have a mix on DR.
This mix got its inspiration from the Love that each and everyone of us has deep inside our Souls.
This Love is made of millions of colours and generated inside our
Hearts with different shades, shapes and varieties; a Love that like water, is flowing through our hands, in every aspect of our Life, it is the Passion of a creative artist; with joyful expression and freedom.
He is offering us a wonderfull painting, a mosaic of infinite parts where He is divided inside it in all particles: He lives, breathes, touches and feels it, and the perceptions make the painting become reality.. everyone of us is a part of this creation and our deep music provides us with beautiful thoughts and emotions.
What is offered here has been selected with the same Intention with the only purpose to give positive energy to our Spirits of warriors to live great moments in our Life." Playlist

Thanks for the add. ¶ The electoral sprint is over, and we've had a couple of weeks to catch our breath, but we still have a long trek ahead. We need to find our jogging pace again. ¶ And it will be a new pace, because the terrain has changed. We've reached a higher elevation. I don't know how much more Obama will accomplish, but already he has led us to reject fearmongering, racism, and lies as electoral tactics. Over half our society has now affirmed that understanding is more important than "toughness." And some of the remaining people will now become easier to reach, because they are driven to conform to whatever they perceive as the majority, and that's now us. They may linger in denial for a time, but that will pass. ¶ Our struggle will be less obvious now; our adversaries will be more diffuse. I doubt that we'll be calling for impeachment. I expect that we'll rally in support of Obama on some issues and against him on others, but really it will be about the issues, not about him. ¶ We are still possessed by institutional and cultural demons:the military-industrial complex, consumerism, materialism, alienation, apathy, and other side effects of laissez faire. Those will all be exorcised only when our society understands our present situation and our alternatives. That understanding is spreading, but slowly; the corporate news media isn't helping. ¶ To change the world, we must change our culture; to do that, we must see more clearly; to do that, we must change ourselves. For a start, just talk with people -- that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. Share whatever you've understood about who we are and what we can become. Each of us knows only part of the song. Keep singing, hoping, resisting, questioning, loving. Hand in hand, we may heal this world. We're all in this together. -- Eric
