The fundamental Hum
It’s what I look for. I saw a drummer tonight, free of all bullshit harmonics, propogating the fundamental hum. Its the beauty integrated from everything – different philosophies have different names for it. I’ve experience it during sailing, good improv, sex and city biking. The purpose is clear, the definition of beauty is attainable and…

Consumption Ratio

I generally consume media alot, but most of it is reading, often blog-like stuff. Recently its been: boingboing.netGoogle NewsSlashdot I read these about…

Faux-Ghetto
So, I was walking home ten minutes ago, going past the Aberdeen and William going home. There was two black guys, a white guy and some girl who I couldn’t see much of. It was dark, it is 3 am after all. The conversation was as follows. Them: This ain’t the real ghetto. If this…

UberMedia
I just found out about dose.ca today when I was walking by it outside a Union Station news stand. Ironic that I first saw it in print form. Also, I just saw EPIC 2015 because a friend sent it to me. This is what mostly spearheaded this line of thought. There is so much information…

I had my telescope set up in front of me, the last of several spontaneous events that had happened today. I decided that tonight had looked like a good night…

Goals:
What??!?!?! Three blogs in less than 2 hours? Yes, I know. However, I have a bad history of starting things and not finishing them, or going on to other things. If you want a good example, search “Dustin Freeman” in Google. Anyway, I want to lay out some goals for this blog, without sounding too…

On originality
I’m currently reading “Impro for Storytellers” (where’ s the v?) by Keith Johnstone in an effort to perhaps better my skills and knowledge. And WOW it has opened my mind. Keith Johnstone writes almost exclusively in Socratic dialogue, in a constant argument with the people on stage who are arguing back with him. Its so…
