i am

...listening to trance again after many years of looking down upon it as inferior to minimal techno and 'for the kids'. However technically most of Booka Shade's work is trance if you speed it up a wee bits and I've loved most of their work. So it's trance on Thursday. Break out the glow sticks :)

Barefoot Running

I've taken up running again and I noticed my new unused trainers nearly disintegrated at the seams. They've been in storage for a long time and under hot conditions so the glue appears to have perished. Instead of waiting to buy a new pair and in the spirit of just doing it I went for a barefoot run and I really like it. The feet took a few weeks to get over the blisters I created but they've healed and seem to be tougher now, though on hot days I'm probably cooking the soles of my feet too so I'm careful to choose specific surfaces and take advantage of soil and grass wherever I can.

As is the case with much of my life these days, I think about things and then it drops into my data stream and so this presentation on barefoot running turned up on fora.tv last week. It starts off with some dance but settles into the topic after that.

I really like the no ipod, pseudo psycho geography, plain shorts and contact with ground feel. I get a fair bit attention from people which makes the runs more fun and fly by quicker than if I was kitted out with brand labels, jogging software and expensive trainers. It's just me, some shorts and ...well that's it really. Feels good and might not be for everyone but is working out for me.

unplugging the PATRIARCHY

Culture Coopting Conspiracy

The only culture that matters is counter culture. The rest is an operating system such as television and mainstream media. I've been wondering for the last couple of months why the History Channel would publish those Ancient Aliens documentaries which pretty much served up what you need to know on a plate. I feel suspicious of what might come next with that little bit of earned credibility once some news that we're sitting on becomes mainstream. Let's wait and see.

This thoughtful interview by Josh Reeves of  The Global Reality with Michael Tsarion has some proper grown up thinking in it.

Happy Civil War

There's a bunch of minor details that Robert D Steele and I may disagree on but in general he's bang on the money. Another feature of this video to those of you who are dissatisfied with your blogging is that Robert gives a number of tips that have worked for me in the past. The benefit of following the tips Robert gives is you may find yourself developing a more authentic voice as a blogger and commensurate with that, a more robust following.

Michael Tsarion

Michael Tsarion reminded me to go back to check on Jordan Maxwell's work so I owe him one. His gentle Irish accent in this interview is a wonderful way to listen to a history of the world that is maliciously concealed by people who regrettably have an agenda of war and misery that only involves you when it's time to fight (for them) or flight (from their misery). The benefit of listening to Michael Tsarion is that you can do something like tidy up your front room, sell shit you don't need anymore on ebay or do the washing up while you learn new information that may mean not needing to fight or flight again.  The other benefit of this interview is you may start to figure out who is manipulating who and keep a black hand from throttling your potential. 

It's your potential so you get to decide. Not me.
