Observer and Participant

Observing the Moon

The Passive Observer.
The Passive Observer is not interested in personal gain.
It is not interested in influencing the world.
The self is a trap, I am a prison.
Time is perception, nothing is real.
Darkness moves in without warning, slowly and confidently.
The outside and the inside are the same.
Fear is only a feeling.
Feelings are temporary.
Death is permanent.
Life is temporary.
Life is feeling.

The Active Participant.
The Active Participant wants the world.
It’s only intention is to influence everything around it self.
The self is limitless, I am God.
Time is my creation, everything is real.
Infinite white light surrounds me, instantly.
The outside and the inside are the same.
Love is everywhere.
Everyone is on my team.
Life is limitless.
Death is nothing.
Love life.

The Passive Participant.
The passive participant wants all the glory without the work.
It wants the world to love it but is not likely to do anything about it.
The self is Ego, I am nothing.
Grey stagnate clouds, nothing happens.
The inside is all there is.
Numb is the only feeling.
No one else is real.
Life is pointless.
Death is here.
Failure is imminent.

The Active Observer.
The Active Observer is always watching everything except the self.
It’s only intention is to observe and absorb as much information as it can for personal gain.
The self is nothing, you are everything.
Red and green.
The outside is all there is.
Anger turns in.
You make me who I am.
I live for you.
You don’t care for me.
Life is a dream.

Open Mic #117

I’m done. This will be the last open mic blog.
I need to spend some time just appreciating music.

When I first started this website, I wanted to get my music out to as many ears as I could.
Now I just want to play for the sake of playing.
I started this blog as a way to generate more traffic to my site, I figured no one would come to my site unless there was some dynamic content.

Now I’m less concerned with who comes to my website.

Over the last few years I’ve logged away over one hundred open mics that I’ve played.
This may seem like a lot or just a few depending on who you are.

I will still play open mics and shows and I will always continue to play music.

I’m not really going anywhere, I’m just done doing these blogs for now.

On Monday, July 23, I was at Reality Kitchen in Eugene Oregon.
I was the last one on the list, I played: “Song to the Siren” by Tim Buckley and then I moved over to the piano and played “Maybe Not” by Cat Power.
When I was playing my first song a cat came in the room and jumped up on my lap, it was purring and nuzzling against me and my guitar, at one point it shoved it self between my hand and the strings of the guitar.
This was a nice little open mic and I’ll probably check it out again in the future.

After finishing up at Reality Kitchen my friend Hans and I walked over to the Maize Lounge to play their last ever open mic.
A week later they shut their doors for good.
I’m glad that we stopped in.
Scott Austin was up right before me and Hans was right after.
I played: “Song to The Siren” by Tim Buckley, “A Letter To Elise” by The Cure, “You’re A Big Girl Now” by Bob Dylan and “Lost Words” by Me.
Later I got up and sang a song with Hans.
I’m really sad that this venue closed.
This was one of my favorite open mics I ever played.

So there you have it.
It’s not April and I’m not fooling.
This is the last.
Thanks for your support and thanks for listening.

Two New Recordings

This is two recordings of me playing at Mulligan’s Open Mic.
The first is a song that I wrote quite a while ago and I’ve been playing around with again.
The second is a cover of Creep by Radiohead.
Enjoy!

Open Mic #115

Wednesday, June 27th 2012, I was at Mulligan’s Open Mic in Eugene Oregon.

Chris Cook called me up to sing with him and Cris Hardy for his last song.

When it was my turn I played:  ”Trails Of Paranoia” by Me, “MJ” by Me, “One More Cup Of Coffee” by Bob Dylan and “Ice Cream” by Me.

A man was playing video poker while I was playing and he won $750!

I guess my music is good luck to some :-)

Thanks for listening.
