like a fierce dream
i am shaken to the core
throwing safety to the wind
like a child i touched the hot coals
with an alarming response
blood pulsating through tunnels inside
i shift in my seat for a moment
and fumble in my pockets for a change
the clock eats a hole in me
nervous trappings on the rail
“this is it”

So lately Ive been experiencing some deep loneliness. I live about 8 miles out of town and I live in a studio all to my self. There are some benefits to living alone, but The negative aspects over weigh the positive. On a typical day I get off of work around midnight, and drive through [...]

Hey friends!
Hello to you. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here on the himynameisjohnandiblogsite.com. I haven’t had it in me. You know, sometimes you’re right in the middle of existence and you need to step back and get some perspective. I’m sitting outside of Starbucks right now and I ju

Dreams….everyone has them….
There’s the one about falling from a ten-story window into a wading pool, always ending with opened eyes just before impact. Then there’s the one about the unspeakable monster chasing you through the night while you are in your pajamas, and you can’t run and you can’t sc

You may notice from the title of this post that it’s about a two-faced baby, and you may also notice this picture of a sharp young Indian couple holding a two-faced baby. So if you don’t wish to see a somewhat disturbing close-up picture of the baby or perhaps feel you’d be offended by me [...]

Have you ever witnessed something so beautiful it makes you angry? Something that makes you angry because it blows your entire scale, because it makes your delicate struggles for harmony ridiculous, petty, insignificant? This beauty that should elevate you, that should lift you up and carry you through the night, the beauty

So if you haven’t noticed I like to write and lately I have been on a long rampage about art and culture. I’m very inspired by any original peace of art whether it be writing, painting, music, media etc. But I’m equally bothered when I see rip-offs of good art or when a good idea [...]

So, I saw the speech.
I’ve decided I’m not voting for the Scary Black Guy. Not sure why he’s “Scary” but every time I turn around, someone is saying that, so why confuse the issue? Yeah the guy who’s last name rhymes with OSAMA which means he’s probably closet Al Qaeda, (just jokin

So I am about to write about something that has been on the back burner of my conscience for a while now, and Ive waited until now to share my madness here. Ive been puzzled lately about our culture, and with all the changes I find it tough to keep up with all of [...]

The night had no man-made disruption. The dark velvet sky was punctuated only by shining white dots; glowing ivory pinpricks against an indigo backdrop. The moon reigned large, casting long shadows and outlining the landscape in silver. Though the volcanic rocks on the concrete still radiated with the day time heat, the air

OK, so I’ve decided to do something that some may consider very brave, and touch on a topic that some may consider impossible and maybe even controversial considering my gender. I’m going to dive into deep waters here and attempt to question and shed some light on how I see our culture concerning [...]

Matthew McDowell asked me this on my MySpace blog.
What do you think your most powerful spiritual gift is?
prophecy is my strongest gift, because I was pretty much born with it. Healing on the other hand is alot harder for me. There are some gifts that you have to contend for in prayer, and healing [...]

I have decided to contribute to the ongoing cultural debate that has spanned centuries and will probably never cease. The debate is over the answer to this question:
What makes a real man?
I think the answer is more simple than one would imagine, and I am more than thrilled to tell you I have found a [...]

I had a profound experience with an equally profound book recently that I had to share here. The name of the book and the author is not important. In fact, the title and subject matter of the book were so generic that it was probably written seventeen thousand times by the same number of authors. [...]
