.....Ignorance is not to be ashamed of..
It is to be acted upon...

...knowledge is not to be feared..onto ignorance, fear is born...
..Knowledge used incorrectly can be one of the most profound forms of ignorance

Just some "stuff"...
to take with and do with what you will..........Or not!!!! LOL

Just want to take a moment to give all the love I can to the incredible, joyful spirits and kind gentle souls I've been fortunate to share a little slice of life with here at ss! You've renewed my faith in humanity!..OK almost. Actually hasn't changed at all. But I will say this..people who fill their lives with music generally in my opinion are less likely to...let's just say get caught up or involved in all kinds of nonsense..to be cont., have to go check out some possible nonsense..lol.


Oh my! ..what a mess this guy is..now I don't feel so bad about my disorganised state of existence, my clueless, planless, carerless bad attitude! Nor my dismal outlook for the future and especially the fact that I don't give a rats backside about any of it! Don't even care about my perpetual confusion and need to know the answers to everything...uncomfortable combination indeed! And I don't even care that every morning, the first thought that enters my mind is one of impending doom!!
Oh wait a minute!..this looks familiar...and this looks like something I've written or at least could have..hmm...This is my writing! I did write this!!! Well as I thought, I'm doomed!!!...Well might as well enjoy it! Think I'll go sing! Well...yes it's true..I guess SOME things will never change!

So...Just don't ever forget..hope for the best...don't EVER say it can't get any worse!!

No matter what laugh at the absurdity of the whole thing...if you can't do that, start digging the hole!!!!! LOL...Or, you just may make it! Exactly what? I don't know, haven't figured it out yet!...But I'll be sure to tell you when I do..
...But by then I suppose it'll be time to go!....sigh....hopeless!

Would love to tell you all about me, unfortunately there have been some major changes, some of which are still taking place! I'll say something when the dust settles..it may not!.. and I know what they are!

I'm pretty much an open book, most enjoy the contents of, although some would rather shut forever!! If you want to know anything, just ask...

You may not get a serious answer...but if it is serious, it'll be an honest one!

I love to sing..I guess that's really all that matters, right?
Generally Rock, a lot of 60s stuff, Blues: Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and Rock that didn't stray very far from those roots, and Motown. But I'm extremely ecclectic...everything in life, music is no exception. Not too keen on "labels" anyway, too limiting for me.

Oh!..something profound(imagine that)in the short time I've been been here. That is the way people react to compliments. This is no revelation, but at some point in my life once I started traveling, I realised that people are the same. OK ..more specificly...people in other parts of the world are just as screwed up in the head as we are in the U.S. I don't know why that came as a surprize, except that for some reason I thought there was no way those (where ever)...I don't want to single anybody out and alienate a chunk of the planet!
But I failed to look at it logically: we're doing pretty well, I mean relatively, so if we were so much more screwed up than the rest how are we even doing as well as we are? (actually I have a theory, but it would take up about 3 pgs., and I can't be bothered) Now where is the relevence here? Recently I met someone on the site and long story short, decided to be friends. OK I really liked this person and thought them to be a remarkable human being and being the open person that I am, told them so(changed only enough to protect liability) Well, think about it a person you barely know tells you you're the greatest thing breathing oxygen, most likely that person can/and will not take it at face value and read about 1,000 possibilities into it, thus freaking their already slightly neurotic minds out and prompting them to avoid me like as if I was some cyber-stalker or something. Now I'm too tired and forgot what the heck the point of all this was (as if it matters) Alright then you're on you're own....til next time.........

Speaking of books:

"On the Road" by Jack Keroac...probabably most impact..probably most responsible for time of my life(late 20s to late 30s)when I devoured books insatiably. Also Steinbeck.."The Grapes of Wrath" and anything by him, John Irving "Cider House Rules", best known for "The World According to Garp"...Fyodor Dostoyevski, "Crime and Punishment"..my opinion THE greatest writer in History, Cervantes is up there too. JD Salinger, "Catcher in the Rye"..Charles Bukowski, "Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame"..anything by Henry Miller, also Aldous Huxley..Ken Kessey,"One Flew Over the....I can go on forever, but my mind is starting to fail me. Must of been all those damn books!!

Next episode kids: My favorite movies, etc.! Isn't this fun!! If you answered yes, I think they have medication...

OK kids...movies...I'm just gonna list them as they come(also actors):

EASY RIDER, JACK NICHOLSON.....that's it for now!!!!!....Later...Poof!!..as if by magic it's fixed!!..Perhaps the little ss profile fairies...fairies?..is that PC? No, right..Oh good, I was hopin'......don't ask, I probably forgot anyway!..what was I talking about..oh yeah movies..True Romance, Pulp Fiction..OK so I'm a little twisted..how could you not be?!...But not all the time!..how 'bout "To Sir With Love"..still cry!..ha ha fooled ya didn't I..don't worry..happens a lot....

I really have a lot more to say..I know, it is sad and pathetic!..anyone wants to tell me to shut-up and sing..contradiction?..or not..lol..feel free..you won't hurt my feelings..I'll probably have a good laugh, and...you will lose..but..the last time I did this (whatever it is I'm doing) I forgot to hit update and got really pissed off!! Oh you lucky people!!..lol..so we'll have to end here..yes, I'm sure you're devastated..you'll get over it, trust me..or not. And for those who are saying..what the..wha?..huh?..don't worry you're probably the normal ones..for the others I'm sorry. Love you all!..OK...most..many?...some?! Oh who cares!!!!!!!!..LOL!!!

Until the next senseless rant..

Yours truly,
John

Well guess I ought to go let that KOOK know I got some work done here...He started this whole thing!
Couldn't just leave well enough alone..No! Oh well..wifes a delightful lady at least..can sing too!
