Mind and the Motorcycle
My voice is in the key of Zen Gonzo. It is where the idea of extraordinarily perfect Zen recklessly collides with totally undisciplined Gonzo journalism. It is an in the moment kind of self-expression, easily interrupted by most anything at all. Hunter S. Thompson coined and embodied this Gonzo style of writing. Actually, when you think about it, that is how our minds work anyway. We live in a constant state of change and everything is disrupted on a moment-to-moment basis. At this point, my quickly put together plan is to talk to you whenever I feel like and share some stories. While they will all be true, or as true as my ever changing perspective will allow, they will always be as sincere and honest as I can possibly be at that precise moment when it falls out of my mind through my fingers and on to the imaginary page of your mind.
