hey there dirt... wow, now you got sparkles and rainbows, both coming your way...
say, perhaps a nice spring-time rainy day... the good splashy kind, and some of karl's wishes in "draining" too, mixed in too...
say, this is a "springy" day of wishes for you, today!
and perhaps some neat garden sprouts...and some hope for some better days this week, and months to come...

neeb, I do appreciate all the attention, if you'd like to talk some, you can call my cell. I'll email it to you at the address you used to join this site.
WE probably have some things to say that should be private. I just have a sense that your interest here is probably motivated by your own unfortunately vast experience with tragedy and a lot of that stuff is just not good to get out in public.
HAAH you know about digin, I really don't have to dig. things change, perception changes, I change-- they are just there. they were always there. I just didn't look at em the same way. ZIn fact, I look at em in lots of ways at once.
Maybe we could give each other some pointers.
It's up to you.
Jbar, thanks so much for the music comments. I stopped worrying about what people thoguht ( like/don't like) a long time ago, when I got the ultimate compliment from what I consider an ultimate source, as in, after THAT it didn't matter what anyone else said, ever, LOL, but you know, still I have to confess that there IS that insecurity that goes with extreme creativity that IS always worried, cause that's the nature of the beast, a little unstable in some ways, so, alow me to be totally contracictory and happy with it too, LOL, whihc flies in the face of my math/physica work, but hey the art was there first, and for me, can't have one with out the other, so, I'm a little complicated, and finally have gotten a little used to it and had to accept it, and now I just need the time, hehe, which I might just get enough of if I have a little more luck, but if I don't, well, too bad I fvcked up, and it's sad but only for the reast of you, not for me, cause no matter what I could have done or left behind, it won't matter at all to me when I'm dead. still it is sad not to get this stuff out to those whouse life coould be made a little nice by it, or a little happier, or a little more restful, or whtever they choose.
I hate to say it, but some of life, an important part in fact, is about service to others. HEy I think your post made me crystalize that for the first time in a really good way for me to get it. thanks.
About your god, go right ahead, and thank you for doing it. You don't need my permission, not that I thought you were asking for that. I just accept things like prayer from people I feel are sincere and I don't from the others. I'm afraid I'll make a mess of this if I keep on, I'm getting tired now, and the subject is difficult so I'll just stop there. besides, things got better today, maybe that's your protection and rainbow all in one, who knows? I didn't make it outside thoguh, but it did reain some so there COULD have been a real rainbow I just didn't see it. but I think it got in anyway. Oh dear now I'm getting all mystical and spiritual and I just hate doing that, I have to stop.
Karl,
I really don't know what to say. maybe we should talk on the phone a bit as well.
Hell I'd just post the number right here except it IS the internet and I really don't want all the crap I'd get from those cretins who live to ruin the lives of others, so I'll send the number to your email listed here, and if you like, call. I'm in central time.
As for what you wrote last, well, you DO have a sense of humor I enjoy, you do get a lot that many just miss, and I think I just kind of like you.
haha good one about the comfortable with body fluid talk thing. I lost all that stuffiness a LONG time ago, and I am usually a little shocked that anyone cares about such things, but the ydo. oh well.
I think I have something I really want to say to you but I can't find it. I'm really worn out now, and need to stop and rest. but I'm glad you took such an interest in all this.
Curt

hey there dirt... here are some tropical gardens... more interesting than some of the ordinary... but anyone into gardens will mostlikley marvel over them, even though folks here can not always produce the same...
unless perhaps with greenhouses.. but still there they have the whole landscape before them...
they say gardens are good for the peace of the soul... example, as we have heard, are the japanese tea gardens,etc...
here are other type gardnes, though, in the tropic variety, hope this keeps your days busy and better:

hmm, well, i reckon this is all for right now...
god bless... and happy hiking trails... :)

Dirt I think what you said about service to others is right on the money. Most of us don't get that and it makes us unhappy. Then we sit around and try to figure out why we are unhappy. I'm one of those.
I can appreciate the boldness of laying your tracks on video for all the world to see. I remember way back when I would write short stories and turn them in to my professor anonymously. They were good but they were different and they were mine and I was afraid. Two of them were submitted to a litterary contest and won. I'm really not very good with attention and accolade either and tend to shy away from that type of thing. Most things I do I try to do anonymously. I would be terrified to get infront of a camera and play as you do. I know it doesn't matter but, for what it's worth, I sent your music link to a friend who plays the most incredible music on the worst guitar and she said you play beautifully. You know there is always a little math in art, and craft is all about making complex things into simple forms for us to try to understand and appreciate. Like a great painter, musician or even a chef. Otherwise it's just frou, art for the sake of art. I could never pluck strings like you do but I can understand how you do it and the beautiful compositions that come from it and I can derive joy from the images it brings and sometimes by imagining the posibility that I could even do it. Thinking about all of this music brings back my highland roots. Have you ever heard of Tom Dooly? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB8Wonny5fs
About a min into his song he switches to "Miss Monoghan". I really like that tune. I've always liked the sound of steel strings. My father always played a steel string guitar and I grew to love the sound fingers make when they slide. You don't get that sound from studio music.
I do say my prayers out of sincerity. I'm not the holiest of people but I do believe and I believe he listens. I take care never to ask for anything for myself but pray often for others. Avoiding the complexity I'll just say that I believe sincere prayers and well wishes offered by people who truly believe, no matter what their beliefs, are positive energy. So I'll just keep on saying my prayers. No thanks or permission needed. My God loves you Curt. Even if you don't know him. And wishing the rainbow was just a bit of an old Welsh blessing I was thinking of and thought I'd send your way. Rain has been nice though it's a bit wet to get out and till the garden now. Should never plant before easter anyway.

Well still feeling good, so, time to write that more I was talking about..
So oops, should say jbar, mis read name... edit tocorret name of innocent, lol. hope he did not see this yet, um, oops again., yeah, I done heard of tom dooley, doc watson did it the best for me. Liked what you wrote about art and lit and all that. sounds about right to me.
we are supposed to get a hard freeze tomorrow night! gues planting before easter IS a bad thing, haha. we have planted only some onions from seed (gonna take all the way til august to get any onions I think, and these are those big bulb kind that keep a long time, for soup, cooking, etc) andsome spring lettuce. I think we got ripped off on some fruit trees-- advertized ad 'instant orchard"- well, we paidn a LOT to get that casue I won;t be here this time next year, and can yo ubeleive it NOT A LOOM IN THE BUNCH, HOWEER, the ONE apple my mom went and bought locally with NO guarantee of fruit this yeas has flowere on it, LOL. SO much for THAT stupid company that advertizes instand orchard. the way I understand it, fruit trees put out the floweres first, THEN the leaves right? well thes have the laves, but no flowers... yet. Guess I'll call monday and see what's up. AND, one of the suckers is dead, and they want us to cut it up adn asend it back, LOL. NEver hared of that. usually it'sm "OH, OK we will replace it.". I don't think those people are playign with a full deck somehow. MOST places would think hmmm bought 5, ssays one died, PROBABLY telling the truth, must not blow it for future orders, Must give good service, and act accordingly. Not this place. THey even got part of the first order wrong, which is the ONLY reason we have a tree with any flowers on it at all- that one my mom went and bought locally with no guarantee, for a LOT less money LOL.
SHould have the strawberries in mid april, bear in june. GOnna be the good ones, finally found what I used to grow from gurneys, the guy said that one is ALL they sell, everyone lieks em, and they look just like what I grew in the 70's. such a treat! we got 50 plants for a really low price, and one bed is already prepared for about half of em. will be fun to fight slugs with beer traps again (think I'll catch any climbers in my beer traps?)
Back to the posting yoru work for all to see, well I jsut put em on my photobucket site, jsut a few, mainly to send to Mr gilbert and some other makers, I think david russel saw the one called fantasy, and MIGHT be interested in the score, but I can't swear to it yet. haha, when he calls me, then I'll know for sure. Rightgt now I am so pissed off at cubase, for siome reason the 500 ollar program CUbase sx (now obsolete, I COULD upgrade for ANOTHER 200 to cubase 5 or soethign liek that, but that idiot sx decides the other day, no, you can't make a CD, and btw, I've changed everythign cause you tried and now you can't even replay your audio or record cause hte inputs are all pending, (HUH? WHEN did I change hte inputs?) Well I DIDN"T cahnger em, LOL, can you say, BUG, which is about all I've seen from Cubase, so I'm thinking after monday trying to the a strariaght anser from cubase to see if Protools will upgrade me from CUbase to their product, and since EVERYONE seems to liek protool, maybe I can get it to be reliable and staright forward, and actually GET SOMETHING DONE when I want, and not have to fight with sorftware glitches.
HAHA this end of life rant is becomeing a what pisses me off rant!!
What a luxury, to be able to waste time being p[issed off at this sort ofthing.
My only medical complaint is , still dying from cancer, otherwise, life is perfect, hah!
WEll the damend drain tube usually hurts , mire than anyting else, butthat may get fixed next week, but there IS one problem... the 'bile' is not um, a slightly opaque lightest color of jade you've ever seen (almost white)-- not right for bile, is it? so I don;t know what is going on there. probably just hte calm before the storm. I AM turning a bit yellow again, but there is bile in stool, so, we shall see what the genius doc says. I jsut hopw for an internal solution, cause that is at least a chance to get treatment again, and extend life a good bit.
I'm also looking into selling some guitars for some really small diaphram mikes, earthworks sr-30 and smp and two channel preamp, plus a REAL interface to the PC as opposed to the lexicon omega box I have. Just need to find one that is really good and not too expensive.
Got to get a cd sampler to the gilberts to try one last time for that extended neck classical. but, with the guitars i ahve, I stil lcan do OK. I hope to live long enough to get another blanchard with a longer neck too, (set deeper into body, more access to upper frets, and 22-24 frets) so my contribution to the guitar world will be on both classical and steel. really, without intermediate (at least) classical technique, most players don't have a hope to do most of my music-- that's the real drawback to getting it played. the classical people are not going to touch it on steel, and the average steel player Cant play that way, so, maybe not too many people will play this sttuff. that would be too bad. CaueI think it's pretty easy ( guess I should, cause I wrote it) and the harder stuff is still doable, but I've been doing ot um, for a long time, so my perspective is all goofy when it comes to thinking other people could do it easily I guess. I jsut never think I'm doing the impossible cause, for so long I just didn't think I was that good. Guess well see what hte world really think before long, heh. when the cds come out. got enough material down for one now (assuming we can get em ripped to waves and onto a CD that is playable, gRRRR, stupid cubase!)
Hey nita.
So anyway, for now, I'm gooc. could go bad this week, ya never know, and i don't usually get much warning, but again, we'll kow soon enough . IF the doc goes in again and can't get anything done for all teh tunor, I'm in big trouble. if he can, then I get at least a short reprieve, maybe a long one. at any reate, the evil hurty tube will be replaced wiht a more comfortable better placed one, and that will be something, cause it is hte thing that hurts the most. About 80% of my pain med use goes to that stupid tube problem, and drugs really don't help much with physical trouble like a foreng body causeing discomfort-- the only thing that haelps that is getting rid of the thing!
WQish me luck this week, I'll need it.
Later.

Oh yeah Jbar, abut your god ideas, sonds good to me. You are right, no permission needed, I think we fought a war about that sort of thing (sort of) inthis country once, hehe.
Anyway, not that it matters, but I do like how you said it. HOpe it sinks in to the insincere as well as comforts those whom the official church seems to have unjustified power over ( and uses for worse), and YOU know who I'm talking about, you bad little mormon girl who want's to be good)
