I was born the same day as Jack London, January 12th, but in the year televisions appeared in 50% of households, 1954. I ride a bicycle everywhere except for brief periods where I’ll buy a cheap motorcycle and run it into the ground. My marginal lifestyle is focused around my 40 foot cargo container full of books on a small knoll. Although I’m a hopeless armchair philosopher, I love taking my “thought children” into the community through my videos, plays, slam poems, and performance art projects. For what it’s worth, I have degrees in Economics and Education, although they never got me a job. Some people say I’m smart. Some people say I’m pompous. Both conditions have helped me in writing and speaking against local injustices.
I don’t measure success by money or titles. Personal progress should be weighed by how far you have expanded your mind and spirit through searching, experience, experiment, and making connection. A good benchmark of a life’s journey is the number of your friends and the quality of your enemies.
I have no use for religious, racial, sexual, or class bigots, although I’m a bigot against fat people. Our bodies and our minds are our only real tools for life. Why let them rust?
My videos end up on YouTube under my name. The full title is “Sheriff Showdown at the No Confidence Corel.”
Hi Dante,
How do I find your Board of Supes spoof voice over from several years ago? Barbara
