  1. I remember having skills at 16 that were indeed sharp, (I put in the time) however at 46 the focus, desire, & motivation has waned somewhat. (lazy) Something comes along once and a while to "light a fire under my ass" so to speak. Keeping that fire burning is the trick. "Genius is the fire that lights itself" - Neil Peart (on Buddy Rich)
  2. Daily practice Sounds simple in theory, makes great sense in application Thanks for all the awesome feedback (truth hurts eh?) well me at least. 00:50 http://www.youtube.c...h?v=F5ejj2RDkIU http://www.drummagaz...-practice-tips/ Yup! Daily practice # 1
  3. This Is It.

    Reminds me of the Uriah Heep tune "Circle of Hands" "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow" "Every day sends future to past, every breath leaves me one less to my last" - Pull me under Dream Theater http://www.youtube.c...h?v=cKhfkfnbAMQ Leaves me breathless actually!
  4. Here Comes The Flood

    Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... Not exactly what I had planned to wake up to today. The search for the book title continues, maybe someone here has read it?
  5. Here Comes The Flood

    No, the intro to this book which escapes me right now opens with a fictitious account of a commuter witnessing the sun "hanging in the sky" not setting and a loud vibration occurring. It has been 32 years since I read the book. I will come up with the title somehow. What about the song? I hope someone has heard it before or is familiar with Robert Fripp or J.G Bennett. Peter got it right eh?
  6. Here Comes The Flood

    Thanks! It's just a matter of time or a few phone calls to get the name of that book. My reoccurring dreams usually involve a geographic local I frequented as a kid, I am trying to get back to the house I grew up in in most of them. (I think that last sentence is grammatically correct)
  7. Your vote for the most emotionally intense films?

    At least a dozen views of the entire film. I cannot watch without getting choked up to this day. At 12:20 is one of my personal favorite scenes, really pulls out the emotions. There are so many instances in this film. http://www.youtube.c...feature=related I always tell my wife it is the greatest love story!
  8. LUCIFER ON KUNDALINI

    I stumbled on this searching for the ultimate tabla video on youtube. It was a promoted video and I guess he has a whole series, who knows this could be one or more of our fellow bums?! No opinions thus far. Just somethin' I thought everybody would enjoy, so enjoy! This is the page it was promoted on... http://www.youtube.c...tabla+sufi&aq=f

  10. The Tao of Tool/APC

  11. # 54 made me laugh so loud I hope I didn't wake anyone! And #301... My wife and I were on a Lake Michigan beach in late June 08' and this Asian church group was singing Silent Night or We Wish You A Merry Christmas (In native language) with guitar accompaniment and yes! actually captured some on a cell cam
  12. "Rare tibetan yoga practice"

    My now wife and I purchased this DVD from a Tibetan store in Evanston Illinois in Spring 07' when we were still dating, along with one on the rivers of Indonesia. Most of what I see are exponents of Kundalini yoga, and Wei Dan (external) Qigong. His hang time rivals Michael Jordan though. Some of his torso dynamics remind me of Hindustani singing Check out 01:57! And what are these guys doing at 01:12??? Stumbled on this looking for one of my favorite Tabla players Ustad Tari Khan I believe this yoga will produce more energy and insight than someone functioning in the mainstream could handle. This is just my belief having been through rough rides riding the waves. Aside: After practicing Kundalini yoga with my now wife we made an immediate decision to get married within two weeks of our first Ana and Brett session together. Peace and stability Robert

  15. Super Moon March 19

    I was driving east earlier and it was a huge sight to behold, the sun was setting behind me as well. I stared for a while later when darkness fell. There was cloud cover when we were outdoors about 0200 yesterday and it was not too far off of resembling crepuscule. It also reminded me of the darkness prior to a monster thunderstorm. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=QIVoOwOMq2c Thelonious Sphere Monk

  17. Gettin' Ready for the Rapture

    Dio is one of the kindest gentlest loving souls to have lived and loved,any one who says otherwise has never known him or his level of spirituality http://www.youtube.c...h?v=p8MRlHXGOXk Anyway there are dozens of Dio interviews and documentaries which involve Ronnie. Nothing but love and good vibes. Talk amongst yourselves - Coffee talk

    Ya gotta do what you gotta do for posterity's sake soke! " All the power in the world resides in the eyes fellow " - Top dollar 00:55 "I'll have The Janitor come on up" - Grange 02:49 This scene always reminds me of Stig's Moniker
