Went down to San Diego for Comic-Con. Met Bill Plympton, Lou Ferrigno, Matt Greoning, and a bunch of other semi-celebrities and artists.
We ended up getting kicked out of Bucca da Beppo on Sunday because we were sitting in a table reserved for publishers. There were about 100 artists and industry professionals there. We were dragged in by Emotion Eric, and I knew it... Read More
That sounds good. Dyou have Zepp CDs? Seriously, I don't even have my mix tapes of them anymore. Need "No Quarter" from the film. Fuggin killer organ n gtr.
Hmm, thought the studio "No Quarter" was lacking, as a teen. Still think that? I dunno. My fave long-studio Zepp was "In My Time of Dying," a song stolen by Spacemen3 in "Come Down Easy" (totally diff rhythm/ pacing though) which will likely go on my trade CD... never got into "Carouselambra" or "Thank You" or errr the live versions of "Moby Dick" or "Whole Lotta Love," which seem to go on for daze. "Dazed & Confused" does to, but at least has the bowing bit.
I remember watching The Song Remains the Same on A&E; they took two commercial breaks during "Dazed and ".
That BBC live stuff is hip. "Stairway" sounds much more majestic with pipe organs than friggin recorders (but I guess they did IV is some rotten Welsh shack, so... no pipe organ.
William Hung hit on my friend. Who the fuck does he think he is?!
I used to be a big Will Hung supporter until he butchered We Are the Champions. Wait, it wasn't even that -- it was when he wore Freddy Mercury's leotard with a turqouise polo where his chest hair would be.
2) I just cut & pasted a pre-existing color-in pic of Lionel that someone put on a Thread; apparently, the Knoxville News-Sentinel included it as a tribute to black history month.
You know- Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Nat Turner, and uhhh the guy who wrote "Penny Lover."
Realizing I need to enact a personal budget-freeze. I have only 1/3rd of the money I should have, thanks to frivolous spending left and right.
If I desire nothing, I'll never be left wanting.
Finals week, thanks to the fact that DeAnza gets out a month later than all other colleges. I'm acing two of my classes for sure -- but Theory of Personality... hoo-boy,... Read More
Started to write you last night and my computer did the blue screen dance. Don't you feel special?
Took it as a sign. Unplugged literally and figuratively.
As for the opposite of love is love thing, I think you nailed it. Whether or not you agree w/it though, that's a different story. Such is the beauty of free will and free floating opinion/s.
Maybe I was trying to be more Zen about it...they just see the "is" of everything. Maybe I'm using the idea of love as shorthand for that "isness" deal. Never had too much acquaintance with hardcore Zen texts, but listened to and read quite a bit of Alan Watts' stuff. His ideas and balance and acceptance amaze me. I am sure he tripped up and/or tripped out sometimes, that's what we do. Just the idea of the practice enthralls me, and seeing/noting/noticing the actual progress, not only just talking about it.
As for complaining, I was trying to say that people who complain may not know that they can have more/have things be the way they want to, and get stuck in that tape loop. At least that was the case for me when I used to do it hardcore. I think my cycle used to be complain-prone talk/behavior...then I had a complete shut-down. I've found now, though, that I am opening up again I don't complain so much as I've broken that habit, but still have those "can't have/don't deserve" lies I have to change. WANT to change. It's been interesting to think about (or as Zen-kids might say "observe").
You asked "Are you sure "love" is what you mean? Or am I on the wrong track entirely?" Maybe love is too strong a word. It's a trigger word and it has a zillion meanings. My Sense about it might not be someone else's. Hm...
Novel take on the poem front. And thanks for explaining it to me, Luv.

Not making any kind of point today, just read something that's pretty interesting considering the right wing rimjob Reagan has been getting since his death:
From The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band
"I [Nikki Sixx] had ideas for the album and the tour that had to do with the mass psychology of evil behind Nazism and with the Anton LaVey books... Read More
Aerosmith's book is very in-depth and no-BS. You realize how bad their drug use was from the very beginning. I thought they "got into trouble" around Draw the Line... they mention injecting LSD as teens in the 1960s! Tyler even got busted by a narc in high school, I think... for the details, you'd have to read the book.
Yes, I meant Crazy from the Heat.
Zappa's book, I feel like it was just short; short on bio, short on road-stories and idiot-stories, I dunno it seemed to go by fast. I did like the thing about payola (or however you wanna call it, the radio blacklists) from Cerphe. Cerphe has been a local DJ here for freakin' ever... granted, he punks out a bit, but he does spill some to Zappa, and he'd never have worked again if he tried to take on idiocy in radio (which is ingrained, from what I hear about radio).
Please forgive me if I don't give Nikki Six more airtime.
Wow. Props to SF Weekly! Amazing cajones.
You wrote, "So you're saying that love is all encompassing. Therefore, there isn't anything that isn't love. Therefore, if an opposite exists, it too is love?"
You are going to slap me, however my answer is "yes." It's only my sense impression. The world has an infinite amount of 'em.
Complainers are just trying to get more, find satisfaction, and either don't think they can, don't think they deserve, or don't know that's what they're doing. (See paragraph above where it reads..."It's only..." and continue on...)
I enjoyed your poem. Is your poem about poetry/writing? (Hope I haven't embarrassed myself)...do tell.
...'Cause it still is.
