swine flu, aka the viral farce

hello my long lost blog-readers....

I am not doing a great job of posting regularly, am I?

I promise to write every week, if not every day from now on, as part of my determination to share information and inspiration.

Today's post is a bit of a shocker (not so much, really) in the sense that so many people are too trusting of the one's in charge of their health "care".

Not I. From the moment I first heard the swine flu propaganda I knew it was nothing to take seriously. Not only is the mainstream media in charge of perpetuating fear and self-"dis"empowerment, the ones who pay them to spread the bad news also have a lot to gain from our believing what they say to be true.

It takes a minimal amount of research to discover that the world health organizations, 'scuse me, CORPORATIONS, do not have our best interests at heart.

And one brave journalist is now speaking out about the bio-engineered swine flu virus and the attempt by the powers that be to cause a mass pandemic.
PLEASE read It is empowering and fascinating.

But never forget that your health is in your hands.

this is nuts!

I couldn't help but imagine how he would react if someone was to cut it all off when he was asleep.

I'm pretty sure he would cry.

woooweeeeeeeeeee!

I sure am a lazy blogger!

But here is a new post meant to impress.
I have big news...I found the man I want to marry:



Right? Am I right???!!!!

been recordin!

hey!

so it's SOOOO springy! i'm loving the sun and the breath of fresh air...

After months of hibernating and working on some songs, I have finally been inspired to sketch them down into recordings.

Back in February, I wrote a song that I have loved playing and singing. It's kinda in the style of a 50's pop love song...and I have been casually imagining what it might turn into once I record the foundation and start building layers upon layers.

So far so good.

Though I do notice it's a bit of a struggle to keep the perfectionist side of me out of the driver's seat. I've been experiencing a bit of a recording drought, and so at this point, I am happy to be using my time to record anything at all. I'm doing my best to drop the expectation that I will produce my greatest masterpiece within the next 45 minutes, and instead sit back and enjoy the ride...

I am reminded of the above Alan Moore quote at this moment...particularly the idea that enjoying the process of making something entirely new out of nothing is the state of being from which we give birth to the most satisfying creations. A thing born out of a moment of bliss, out of love and not doubt or urgency, is given a quality that transcends all physical boundaries and targets the soul.

So after I post this blog, I will go back to my "studio", pick up my guitar, and do my best to not control the outcome.

I will play...

my first quilt!

So after months in the making, I am finally dreaming sweet dreams beneath my very own self-made blanket...

Henry Rollins on "selling out"

I stumbled upon this short treat from the ever-so opinionated Rollins. In a short flash of fire, he distinguishes between a band "selling out" and a band simply getting their due after years of making little to no money.

It amuses me and inspires me to get some paycheques in exchange for my music!

vegans ROCK!!!

WOW! It has been WAAAAAAY too long since I posted something interesting about my life, or the world in general. I think what's holding me up is a lack of batteries for my nifty camera. I have decided I will buy some today so I can include pictures with my posts, and so you can see all the wonderful things that I have been experiencing.

I recently purchased a sexy new amp for my sexy red guitar and rocked out with them 3 times last week! The first show was at C'est What? on Tuesday- AWESOME night. Then I was at the Boat for a VEGAN Rock fundraising event for the Toronto Vegetarian Association. The above pic shows how fun it was...especially the eating of scrumptious many vegan treats.

I am off to work for now...but will bring some batteries home with me...!!!
