Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I actually made it down to their place 4 times- 2004, 2005, 2014 and 2017. On my second visit we talked about spirit animals, a Native American idea that has been criticized as "cultural appropriation," yet it kind of fascinates me. I told how when I was 6 years old a crow walked behind me and follo...

Every time his lips are moving.

I really liked Cecil. I remember our conversations, onscreen, by phone and in person. I love how Sooz and Cec and I joked about my "new rain powers" when I visited their house the second time when the desert was cold and rainy. Cecil and I relaxed on the back porch, and he told a story about being a...

I, on a few occasions, have managed to return to a few of my favorite spots in the desert wilderness, though necessarily on foot, and yes, I experienced a triumphant sense each time.

Thanks, Mr. saw. It's not a good "poem," really. If perezozo was here, he'd crush this one. It's (arguably) too political and didactic, (arguably) inappropriate and inartistic. It's (arguably) too heavy-handed. (Arguably) could be accused of stating the obvious. Yet, re: its subject, the ultimate em...

No lie. I found a book about the Israel-Palestinian conflict in a long forgotten corner of my bookshelf, and I will read this book and try to educate myself. After the indoctrination of my Church, one of those Evangelical Churches that assumed Israel taking over of the Middle East would be just what...

I hope I don't piss off anyone with my take(s) here on the current chaotic world situation, and more generally, Trump's first 14 months in office. but here goes . . . What amazes (and certainly appalls) me is how his Enablers and his Cult CONTINUE to twist themselves into pretzels of belief and "log...

Got my toes a tappin'. Rhythm rhyme timin'. (And nice portrait in contrasts.)

We apparently
learned nothing from Iraq.

I like this. There's a reason why Hunter S. Thompson probed the depths and surface glitz of Las Vegas, looking for the "American Dream."
