Love, memories, music, singing my heart out, eyes and emotion, cultures, adventures, strangers, expanding my mind, traveling. Astronomy and invisible mass and all that energy. connections. Gender equality. Women need to be stronger and men need to wear dresses! <
Before meeting Gonzalo I was trainhopping through parallel universes that would change every time I turned around. Sure I traveled with and met along the road people and places that have engraved themselves in me until my death, and I would change them for nothing. But I also lived under rainy bridges, woke up literally frozen by the side of the road, almost killed myself drinking and almost got stuck in that lifestyle like bums get stuck begging and workaholics get stuck working. Now I just want a house in the countryside near Valparaíso, Chile, with Gonzalo (my Chilean husband), lots of love, fruit trees and chickens and a stream or well . . . We wouldn't have to depend on society much with all of that, and we'd have peace and beauty. We could build a recording studio and have our own label, raise up some wild kids and make our own little revolution out of love and music. That's what I want now.
Music
. . . is the all-powerful. Any music with emotion, any music with culture, noise with energy. Crack rock steady, riot folk, blues, the French (Edith Piaf!), early (ragtime & trad) jazz, gypsy and Eastern European music. slave songs. good punk, good metal (bad metal makes me sleeepy but good metal is fucking shweet), Chilean folk music all off-key, mexican music, old-timey banjo stuff. Drums. Mapuche music, música de los Andes. Música de viajeros. Chris and the Lost Boys outside the liquor store singin with the old blues man! Train hoppin kids jammin on their accordions fiddles washboards singing saws and whatnot, usin' what's there. Freaks me out when music comes from boxes.
"McDonalds will bloom as the major competition between Jesus and the Devil for this government's religion!"
Movies
When music comes from boxes, people fly all over the world in heavy chunks of metal, when folks talk to other folks far out of hearing range via invisible waves in the air more than they talk face to face and cars run because electrons were tricked by einsteinian relativity to confuse perspectives, and everything runs on quantum mechanics, and the Crocodile Hunter died of a stingrey . . . when nothing makes any damn sense at all, who on earth needs fiction? or movies? Or worries, for that matter? If you look for sex and violence in life, you find it. so no need for movies. Reality is "magical realism." Mark Twain said, "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." Haha.
Bueno. Películas. Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death & other low/no-budget horror films. Experimental films. Waking Life, The FOrbidden Zone, Adaptation, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Blazing Saddles, Don Quijote de la Mancha, Hatchet (fantastic ending). I'll eat your TV and burn yer trashy videos.

Television
I HUNT THOSE MUTHERFUCKERS! (easy targets, i know.)
uuuuh, i lied. South Park and King of the Hill are shweet, and educational stuff is ghood smtimez.

Heroes
Fuck heroes. Everyone's got something to share and shit to put up with. And while the family wants me to go to college, I just want to travel invisibly and love and live in the countryside with a goat and a couple chickens, living from the land. I'm happier without electricity than in a cubicle. I need to sing. Gonzalo is my hero, when his guitar wails I do too. I like rust, I like the poor folks, the folks with stories, the people who know better than the lonely ones in their big houses. But still I don't believe in heros. I'd listen to a dog for advice before I'd listen to a person.

I I liked it BeCaUsE we weren’t too active & there weren't many of us. I enjoyed the empty presence of the silent shadows that attended once every so often.
I am the rusty, art-filled boxcar that makes you feel so lonely and so connected. If you enter my mind I could take you anywhere.
¡Me gustan las aventuras! En trenes de carga, en la música, con acido, a pata pelada con el cielo fundido con el mar.
La vida es surreál. Hasta scientificamente la "realidad" está todo construido en una basa de magia. Haluciones, la mechanica quantica, expressionismo surrealistico y nonobjectivo (en la música, arte, videos, etc.), colores, luz, el tiempo, y otras illuciones y abstracciones.
Nada hace sentido así que más vale hacemos lo que quieremos mientras no daña demasiado. O sea, idealmente soy socialist anarquista o algo así, pero es más complicado que eso; si fuera fácil no habría ningún problema. La gente tienen que cambiar, pues cualquier revolución planiado se desgenerá con quatica. Más vale las artes que las peleas.
Crazy folks know more than sane ones. Horris, for instance, has had soooooo much drama in his life, violations and murders and torture and all sorts of shit, but he's got to support it so he can convert folks to love nature again and kill those he can't convert, so that the fairies can return to the forest. (He's the king of the fairies.) Lots of drama, but the most impressive thing he's lived, he says, was when he lived 200ft up in a tree because he realized that . . .

Existentialism. Freedom. Do what you want. No revolution without culture! Reality is an illusion that occurs due to the lack of drugs, a trully open mind or a camera lens! Fuck religion, capitalism, lawns and makeup and credit cards. 'Most everyone is full of shit and needs to relax. Traveling you meet a boquet of the craziest, wildest people out there. There's a lot of them. You just gotta open up. Culture still exists. You either find it or you make it.
Who I'd like to meet:
Whoever appears in my life . . . finding someone you really like is worth more than gold.
I miss the shit out of you, and I wish that I could travel to Chile alone and find your ass. I hope that you're doing alright. I still think about the times we had together. I love you!!! Have a good christmas and new years [bullshit but whatever]
i am excited to hear that your adventures have been satisfying and face to face worthy. i do not see new years happening. but i do want to come down there. i do. and it might not be until i graduaate. so i hope your crazy bohemian lifestyle is in full swing cause shits going down when i get there. and i still havent been able to get what you want, in quantity, let me tell you ive been trying... and here are some music festivals, an abbreiviated list.
Coachella- april, local festival, sets the music scene for the next year. indie, but SPECTACULAR. beautiful. grassy. yum.
Bonnaroooo- june. humid, tennessee. hippie. but the most interactive, fun, downhome type feel of any festival. you can interact with anyone, anywhere, and if you should bonnaroo it echoes with thousands of other voices for a mile around you.
sasquatch- ive never been to this one, but i hear its gorgeous. camping is right on the gorge, a magnificent venue on a bed of 2 foot high soft grass. unbelievable sunset
joshua tree- may/october -teensy festival located among our own california desert. jj and i found a roadrunner friend. we met magic. fun!
high sierra- july, nor cal. in stables, sarah's said its bomb. i really want to try this one.
street scene- good, wholesome, local fun. me n molly had a good time at this one ;) we saw justice, and soundtribe, and devo, and beck, and ghostland!
wakarusa festival virgin festival pitchfork south by southwest austin city limits bumbershoot
^^^ i have not been to those. lets go next year!
i love you! call me anytime, 6198186812 if you lost my number!
Wowwww. the cultural capital of chile, eh? Everything you say sounds so great, and I wish I could live my life like that. You're right, it is an easy way to live. Much better than being preoccupied and worried over a future that might never happen and a job that's headed to the same place you came from. I don't know how you do it, though. My heart can't take it, I meet people and see places and they're all beautiful and It breaks my heart when I can't hold on to it. I guess I really can't hold on to anything, anyway, and that's just a false sense of security. I am SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT; I haven't been this glad to hear of a death since reagan or william rehnquist. I wish I could go there. I wish a lot of things. I wish I could give you a big kiss and make you very very very happy. I don't want to add you to the list of the beautiful things that I miss.
no they said that i should still be able to have kids, everything else looks fine etc etc. its the whole not being at smith thing thats driving me crazy, and not being engaged anymore and having a "set" life plan. phone number: 860-896-5253, call me when it's after 7.30 EST cause otherwise i'll be at work :)
I would love to come visit but I think I'm too poor to fly down there, and I don't walk quickly. I'm working crazy amounts of hours right now and being generally exhausted. I have a cyst on my ovary. I can't concentrate on anything because I don'tknow what I want from/in life and feel that I can't do anything until I figure it out. I just feel that my life was so set on this path, and now that path is gone and I'm completely lost.
so i went to western mass the other day. and it was a trip. Everything is the same there. I was so happy to not be stuck there any longer. i went to the alley to see your graffitti too , still there.
