Blog

Rather then surfing through the internet, lately I’ve been stumbling. It’s a
nifty idea of sharing cool sites I’ve come across and sharing like minded topics. Depending on the variety of your topics, you could be stumbling for hours. Plus the list is always growing. All you need to do, is say you like a site, and “viola” it’s added.

Last night our band played a gig at trees cafe. Normally I wouldn’t toot my own horn ( no, considering I play
a sax, there was no initial intent for humour, however, the more I make a side comment on the fact that there
is no humour, the more humour being to emerge…funny ), however, I was on fire! And I have to give credit
where credit was due, my shoes.

I had a previous gig, however I was wearing my “fancy” shoes. The gummy sole stuck to the floor and they sure
as hell were uncomfortable. I decided for this gig to screw the foot attire for a nice old pair of shredded
up airwalks. When the song started I realized that my feet we slipping on the floor and I was able to slide
them all around. I was moving and swaying and it went from there. So I say thank you old pair of shoes…thank
you.

What to hear a sample of me? I’m the low sax in this chart called Deed I do, or maybe something a little more
slow like Georgia On My Mind. Staring: Aaron “Blue” Morris – guitar, Carly Jepsen – vocals, Greg Lui – tenor
sax, Nick Kempinski (”me”) – baritone sax, Georgia Korba – bass, Soegi Hartono – drums.

When my friend Vanessa makes a book suggestion it’s one to follow! So far The
Alchemist is turning out to be a very poignant and powerful fable. At the core is a message about following you “Personal
Legend” and the ups and downs that come along with it. I’m not done yet, so I’m not able to speak too much about it, but I’m so enthralled by it, that I had to share it with the world.

I’m looking through a site called PureVolume and came across
Xerarch

2018-02-25: Link Missing I’ll look for the podcast file. fingers crossed

I’ve added a link to my friends in the sidebar: Robots Hate Cancer. Reason being my friend Daniel, has a good
friend of his going through this battle against cancer. And the site has been set up for 2 things. 1 – It’s a
great way to get out there the perspective of our generation the (20s-30s) going through this ordeal. 2 – It
ain’t cheap, so they are using it as a platform to raise money.

In our brief conversation earlier today, an interesting thought came up on the necessary mind set that is
needed. It’s the survival, the necessity to fight. as they are saying in the site, “we can do more than wear
our stylish bracelets.” Just looking at the site shows this. It’s more like !#$& YOU CANCER! And I think
that’s the best and most powerful mindset to have. So I post this article not out of “poor poor” person with
cancer, but more like FNA! Let’s all give cancer the finger while we burn it to hell with lasers shooting
from our eyes.

Wake up caged amongst the lost
Walking through their world
Look at the posters pointing
The way not traveled has
been traveled too much
This world rich with illusion
You think you’re found
You think it’s wise
To walk amongst the found
is not travelling at all
On a pedestal looking up
In your caged Freedom
I’m alive and drenched in
the lonely
The Lonely we are

Tongue on tongue on
Cheek to cheek
Dripping with metaphors and
thoughts; ideas
With Intensity
of sweat flying from
Boxers Face
Hit with the glove of
Inspiration

Today I’ll portray a God
Ganesh with arms & tusk wide
Grasping tight
In trunk a soul
In hand the sky holding
Over another with the world
Leaving 2
2 alone to do things daily
Cleaning, dressing, eating
2 alone with no guarded task
No mission
Today I’ll portray a Man

So I’ve finally come to the conclusion that networking through the web isn’t a cup of tea for me. Matter of
fact it isn’t even a cup of anything for me. I’m not in it. For me it’s too forced and not natural enough. I
did go to one of the meet-ups but didn’t really get into it. I’m sure there are other meet-ups that are
great, but right now in my life, not for me. So…the links are gone.

Like the music page, I’ve killed the poetry page. It really should be something more blog like.
