Been working my ass off and then went on vaca to vancouver. I'm trying to focus by posting more on Onetrickpony.org, and KungFoodie.com. Got another site I'm launching too. The usual web craziness, but at least I'm making some bones from it.
people talk smack about being machiavellian like they talk smack about being satanists, not really seeing it for what it is. too cool, trendy bullshit, posing at the bar, just not knowing.

That's the right bit of text:"27: And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour

Hey man, THank you so much for reading it, I am excessively wussy, so have not actually read your comment above (or anything else for that matter, but have taken note of the non-gay-porn photos ; ) ), but will and reply like a grown up v.v. soon.. Hope all is well, (well it certainly seems to be)

...and what an entry in which to meet. You were good and brave to say, "Hi."
The bike's 50-55 mpg efficiency made the trip possible. A bio-diesel conversion is available, but it (the conversion) currently costs more than the bike itself. Poverty on the one side of the scale - environmental consciousness on the other. One shrugs and thinks, "Well, if not perfect, at least it's better than a car..."
LJ Joybon (not to be faulted for my weirdness) told me to read your stuff. The trip pieces, and especially the epilogue linked to, above, resonated with me. In my own case, I wasn't certain exactly what I was looking for when I left. Yet in a metaphysical sense I found "it," even if in a physical sense I did not. It's romantic to call that the gift/curse of poets, artists, dreamers, et al.
I wish that there were more thoughtful, sensitive, creative people around.
You have the spirit; you should go. Plant the seed now: learn/improve riding skills; build distance; fly when ready.
As I rode down from the mountains, the desert's warm air rose up to meet me. Twice, at night, I felt that embrace.
And, yes, it did "mean more" on the bike: without the glass and steel cocoon of an automobile around me, I was chilled to the bone whenever I gained altitude.
The rapid transition from a misty, green, frigid and fragmented place, to a clear, ochre, warm and uniform surrounding was...intense.
The scent, the moisture, in all of its qualities, the air is alive like a lover, when you ride.
The trees! I found myself racing along the thinest ribbon of headlight, long shadows, like Japanese brushwork, outlining the Joshua trees. Such an alien thing for someone raised on the woodcraft of the northeastern portion of this land...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_treeStrange flashes of light burst in the sky - as much of that portion of the trip took me through military ranges. And 'God knows what' they were using to make such purple-blue explosions

First of all, nice to see you back! Was wondering what happened to you, if you were making art, writing, new love in your life, other obligations, and whatnot

Thank you very much for the nudge. I can't believe that you actually took the time to read (above) the text - and leave a thoughtful comment.
My feelings are mixed in regard to communication on-line. The knowledge that my text/photos will be mocked/abused/plagiarized doesn't incline me to publish anything, anywhere.
And thus the tone of this entry.
But, yes: What is the purpose of making copies? There are people who judge visual art according to the artist's ability to imitate something that already exists. Colored is preferred to B/W; sound to silence; movement to stillness; etc. Man it was like 20 years ago that I read someone anticipating cloning as art, in: Beyond Modern Sculpture

Too, the author included a provocative (if incomplete) treatment of entropy. Memory failing me...so old.
