…oh…i can feel it,

oh, when it all goes down
look around and it's happening
look around and see what i have found
it's more…
more than a song to sing…
yes, it's more…more than…
a song to sing

…and it goes out…..
and it comes back…
it is a feelin'
it's a feelin' ……….
and the more you do it…
it becomes….
a beautiful obsession…

-van morrison
(from sante fe/beautiful obsession)

moi?

objectivist by nature but with a twist of lime, observer above all…
absolute non pre-judgementalist (and a literal linguist)…some people doubt me but i believe it's only because they don't understand.

YET, have respect for each individual and group and their agenda (as long as it respects me and mine in turn)…

i believe enlightment is relative to the capacity one has to see and feel from many perspectives at once… viewpoints… distances… circumstances… histories… angles, tape recorders, hidden cameras, etc…

(i.e. the view from 50,000 feet isn't more enlightened than that from the sidewalk, but both views together are more enlightened than any one of them… and so on…

yet…

i break for rules… aware that in my view objects are closer than they appear… sometimes i get a black eye. sometimes i get two.

i'm a good leader, but prefer not to unless itz  a neccesity and i'm the obvious choice. i hate elections and all that comes with them.

a friend once used to say, “people… are as funny as anybody”…it still rings true. i don't laugh about it as much since moving to the land of liars, lizards, and snakes.

i can be disorganized and not hate myself. i lose shit too often to be funny. i follow my own path after getting advice and directions from everyone. but then i usually have to forge it somehow…

itz usually riddled with briars, back alleys, barbed wire, and bigtime bullshit. somehow, i find my way through. i realize that when i conform, itz easier to win. but  i hate doing that. ..conforming not winning. as for losing, i refuse to participate in that activity. there is a positive side to everything and the older you get the harder you have to look for it.

i started smoking at 45. can't tell you why unless itz that it seemed everyone else had finally quit.

i AM the fiercest competitor. i can come from behind better than stay in the lead. i can tie it up, but i'll choke the winning shot or putt. i know when to pass…and i like gravy.

winning isn't everything but giving your best effort is if there are teamates involved and you like being popular.

i am a gambler of astronomical proportions (or mis-appropriations). worse, i'm pretty good at it . i like to win at dice because they're impersonal and most people are superstitious. i am too but i lie about it.

i can give or i can take, but prefer a sense of fairness and equality without using a scorecard. sometimes i do get pencil whipped.

my dad taught me to use “common sense” which to me seems right and has nothing in common with “common law”, which to me seems wrong. our legal system is well…don't get me started.

i've studied science, religion, and philosophy…

and i'm comfortable with what i've learned…

i've studied a number of other academic areas and though i think i'm fairly astute, what i've really learned is that when you think you know something, you probably don't. as i age i become smarter and wiser to that but i can still be a know-it-all smartass sometimes.when i meet someone as cocky as i once was.

though…

if i can't fix it with a hammer and liquid nails, it can't be fixed.
