Ah yes, I wanted to get the run of things, now have three days off plus tonite, sweet, and got back to this. It seems that Art Guy's window on the world is a blessed one, indeed.
tend to ignore political news as I try to not allow it to effect my life...I do believe we as a species are evolved beyond the need for political systems to give order and reason to our lives when we have poetry music art and jus sittin round the fire exchangin stories of the hunt...
and I thought, now that's the unseen luxury of living in a progressive country, man, and like am aware that some of us feel the heat, man, like
I also think that political discussions have been taking precedence here right now, because the current administration is fucking with some of our most valued cultures!
I'll certainly be glad when the focus is something else.

this is a healthier micro culture, here
Humanities board, whatever.
Kulture on the skidz, beats.
but we look for community and refuge

I am working on a Cindy Sheehan post from the VFP convention last summer just before she hit it big in Crawford. And I am going to the Camp Casey vigil here in Tampa Bay manyana night
and afterwords do soup and supper with Vets for Peace.
It is a gathering
which energises, celebrates, and yet our common concern is wars, lies, and tragic militarism. It impacts deeply into the cultural fabric. How we sustain ourselves is the cultural blessings of the opposition. Thazz all folk.
Little birdie little birdie
