This has the potential to be a long blog, beware for those with short attention spans-not a personal attack. Anyways, was reading about some things recently...in an old issue of Rolling Stone from 2008 marking some sort of anniversary, there was a few articles about this dude I'd never heard of, LSD, and it became quite interesting.
So, this guy, whose name I have forgotten already used to hang out with the Grateful Dead, was into soundscapes, and apparently a bigshot in the late 60's LSD world; not Tim Leary, but almost the opposite... Who cares, right? Another druggie from the 60s..who happened to give Hendrix the LSD that sparked Purple Haze among other songs.... This guy had an interesting theory: He said there was going to be an ice age, which is almost like the whole Global Warming ideology...BUT, this is where I got interested. The number of people paranoid about such a catostrophic event to humanity since this era...and since this guy's thousand of acid hits got passed around is insane. And, it makes you wonder...you know, if we are alive on "Mother Earth," and constantly think of ill-fated scenarios, such as an Ice Age [Radiohead song comes to mind...Idioteque...], then what can we expect the Earth to do? Now, on the other side of the coin, if you will-since this is about the value of life over the value of paranoid-induced security, there is also a slim chance that the Earth is hinting at activity going on...Polar shift of "Ice Age" kind of phenomenon... But, this is why I got so intrigued: This guy's whole life in society amounted to little permanence in any beneficial or enjoyable aspects of life, and it really shows how much the whole late 60s era had the negative backlash alongside the progressive harmonic sensual thoughts of craving unity and equality...
Another thing I read about was the "Rising" sign in Astrology... I never quite fully understood its significance in this subject until now. Apparently, the Rising Sign represents the first impression. Mine is Capricorn. Theories about the rising sign can be summed up as follows: You are the center of light in your world...when you were born, the refractions and reflections of bigger sources of light can be seen through certain long-term observations that allow a pretty informative picture of how your life will shine as the center of light; directly above you was the sun in a certain sign, the moon in another, the planets and stars in others, and this crazy "window" known as your "rising" sign...which is basically like the moment your life of light's lenses opened. So, if you point a camera at the sun, for example, you will see all these light rays...and in astrology, the rising sign is this sort of light ray that connects you to the grid.
Ah, I really ate way too much this Thanksgiving...and then it got freezing cold...and the combination of those, plus the fact that up until a couple of days ago, I was recovering from some injuries wore me the fuck out for a couple of weeks... and so now I've learned that I really don't even need to give a fuck about some holiday where too many people overeat.
...which brings me to Ultraviolet Landscape...I've decided to combine Vessels and Ultraviolet Landscape to make a really really solid type of album...and it took a really long time to write all of the songs on both, but now that that process is winding down, I think this is the proper course of action for me to explore/take. Also, waiting on a new Condenser Microphone, and the acoustics in my living room are super, super amazing so once again, I'm gonna give this album a try.
Hoping to start performing when the website goes up, but, it looks like I may perform beforehand as well...but the Trip-Hop stuff...
Kinda thinking about getting a band together again, but not with anyone I've jammed with before...
Was planning on finishing some paintings before this year's end, but, gonna push those deadlines back...
Some interesting things are going on in the relationship world as well..
This is going to be an intense year for me, and has already been showing signs of such since my birthday on 11/11...
In the news, I was reading about that sign language translator...and you know what, I don't give a fuck needs some kind of simple sign language gesture...maybe like two middle fingers circling around each other and then a shrug... and no, I have not burned any bodies for some weird television sale...
Anyways, a little sleep deprived...
I noticed the trees nearby this morning, swaying in the wind....and you know, they're not at all as discordant as we are from that perspective...just thousands of branches, millions of leaves, billions of cells, and what we call a growing tree... Just imagine if trees tried to hustle people, shit would be hilarious. "I'll hit you with a pinecone, shrub, if you don't give me some nutrients....."
