Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life. My 9th Grade Jr. High English teacher Mrs. Crain/Lewis (she married the year I took her class). She even asked to use my writing as an example. She made a transparent copy for the overhead projector. It was a poem I wrote.Continue reading “English Class”

Chill & Sleep Ambience: Electric Icarus Project Playlist
Started this playlist years ago. It’s now to the point of what I would consider a completion. Clocking in over 20hrs of Chill & Ambient style music it’s aesthetic will last all day or night. This is a playlist that can be left on for any creator as background thought music. Likewise I’ve created aContinue reading “Chill & Sleep Ambience: Electric Icarus Project Playlist”
To Be Free
What does freedom mean to you? Freedom consists of the idea of a lack of boundaries with control. Freedom can mean and be so many things. Like love it very much encompasses all other logical notion that people can conceive. We exist in a world full of boundaries and we all want a certain amountContinue reading “To Be Free”
The Arts
What is your career plan? I plan to take the liberal arts from pop culture. Pop culture should not dictate the liberal arts. Pop culture is and should be dictated by the liberal arts. That’s my belief…

Volunteering
What do you do to be involved in the community? I personally bring bags of food every Tuesday to seniors and neighbors in my community. A truck from a local church comes with food. This food is loaded into shopping carts which I take door to door. I knock, if they answer I hand themContinue reading “Volunteering”
Modern Classical & Global Post Rock: Music to write to (Electric Icarus Project Playlist)
Newest playlist of the season. As we move closer to another solstice enjoy some inspirational tunes to write to. Very little words. Great on shuffle or as a concept.
In Addition To…
On a bleak day. Not dressed in the usual way. The sun shining bright as all can be. When a rain forecast was told to me. I picked up the strength. I went further than usual length. To pick up sorrow out of the abyss. To stay alive and remember all this. To find theContinue reading “In Addition To…”
Jon-zo Quotes #1
You will hate someone who has done you wrong. You will get upset with someone who taught you. Do not confuse the two, only one is an enemy.
Electric Icarus Project Playlist ~ Vernal Swing ~
Made the most current playlist on Amazon Music this round. It’s a longer playlist spanning the theme’s of a rainy day. While trying to bounce back and equally balance with what I would consider the sunshine of a track. Those more uplifting moments, if you will. Regardless, it has multiple genres. Enjoy, and happy seasonContinue reading “Electric Icarus Project Playlist ~ Vernal Swing ~”
Warm Foggy Nights…
It’s that time of year again… Here’s to a new year of Springing Life back into reality. Don’t forget to hit shuffle, no concept album here. May all have a wonderful Spring and amazing harvests ahead! This playlist is collaborative per usual. Welcoming any outsiders to add to the vibe. Note: This is also theContinue reading “Warm Foggy Nights…”
The Laughter Key…
Laughter though fun, is key to living. If you leave this body, escape this reality. You will come to find laughter lies underneath all. If you can laugh at the reality that exists outside this reality you are on track to understanding life. If a person took all dreams completely serious, how would they acceptContinue reading “The Laughter Key…”
Arrogance & Humility of Juggernaut Madness…
When once lost we fall again. Not as angels, or just men. But as the divine bound to the flesh. Recreating our energy never the less. Through the colors and spheres of our eyes. Understanding what we see and learning from lies. To get through the deception of past. Something that lingers in the mind,Continue reading “Arrogance & Humility of Juggernaut Madness…”
The Forward Momentum of Life…
Here in the land of the dead. We invoke spirit with dial-a-friend. Ghosts unaware of our true current plane. Working towards another place, afterlife by name. What lies there being a way of starting it all again. Reset of the switch, yet in a different time instead. I, being the everlasting dimension that conquers all.Continue reading “The Forward Momentum of Life…”
A Countdown to Midnight…
Oh rhythm of this day. You started out in such a great way. Not so distant ago in time. When I awoke and open up my eyes. Cheerful with a great day to see. Excited at what was still in front of me. You didn’t really disappoint or go to waste. Instead you tricked meContinue reading “A Countdown to Midnight…”
What is Love?
It is the passion, warmth, and fire. The longing, infatuation, and desire. The cleansing cup that flows. All throughout the living soul. Material things, gifts of the flesh. Creating memories to later impress. While carrying the sword so bold. Using words to breakthrough or seal our mold. From start to finish it’s in all livingContinue reading “What is Love?”
Dreaming of Faces…
If one doesn’t want to become mystical about visit’s from those who have passed. Rest assured knowing the brain cannot create a face for dreaming. Every face that has ever been seen, is simply piece’s of one’s waking life. We often see new faces daily, whether this is recognized or not. This could easily beContinue reading “Dreaming of Faces…”
Living A Dream
I am a dreamer. A vast majority of my life is spent in my head. I’m very intuitive and a deep thinker. Although it’s when I become creative that beautiful things begin to unfold. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you dream too often or spend too much time in your head. Without thisContinue reading “Living A Dream”
Living Existentially
Every once in awhile we take a look at life and begin to question things. We say things like what lies between chaos and creation? How do I balance good and bad? How do I not be too intense without being too naive? The answer to all these poles and what lies in the middleContinue reading “Living Existentially”
Shadows in the Closet
There lies a psychological closet. Everyone is aware of it. To the point where it’s a known expression. Many things are closeted there. To not acknowledge this is a problem. Not a kink or compulsion. A true acknowledgment. For if neglected long enough one’s shadow will grow into a horrific thing. This only appears whenContinue reading “Shadows in the Closet”
Fear of nature, the nature of fear…
People are healthy to have an innate fear of nature to a degree. I do believe this to be similar to the reference of the fear of God. Though more of a literal extension of what people believe as their own personal fear of God. On the grand scale it is basically uncontrollable. It isContinue reading “Fear of nature, the nature of fear…”
Consciousness of Light
Once only black starlight was all to see. So sunshine was added to reality. Fractals of light to fill this place. All around, not just in the void of space. To grasp and understand speed. And what it takes for a need. Pushing and pulling in unseen waves. Causing inherent light life to pave. WhatContinue reading “Consciousness of Light”
Hyperthymesia vs. Alzheimers Abstract
Hyperthymesia in people with High Accurate Memory Recall may be the best catalyst in the fight against Alzheimers disease. It will require the patients to explain the way memory application and memory recon works. For once we understand how the memory functions work in certain people we can begin to identify the source of howContinue reading “Hyperthymesia vs. Alzheimers Abstract”
250 Words On Being Alive
When the universe understands that you know that it responds to you while knowing how to respond back, one opens a line of communication. Not what one can consider open dialogue. More of a primal state of banter. One must appreciate the universe for all it is, while in direct communication. Prana and the DivineContinue reading “250 Words On Being Alive”
Causes For Cheer…
Happiness is there to always take a peak For not all is truly dark and bleak Even if or when we decide to preach Fire and brimstone while using our speech Because with each of us deep down inside There is still plenty happiness to find In humankind or animal alike We still understand thisContinue reading “Causes For Cheer…”
Words on Experience…
Life is an experience. In this experience we learn. Be it through academia or past lessons, our job is to share the experience. That way while other’s have their experience, we enhance it to make it better. Resulting in greater experience on a much larger scale. So you can enjoy your experience. While other’s enjoyContinue reading “Words on Experience…”
Chocolate Death Trilogy…
Story outline to horror trilogy. No real dialogue, only simple plot outline and story for Part 1, 2, & 3. These will be released as individual titles. Part 1 We open on a group of girls around a fire celebrating with cocoa and ayahuasca. Two girls stray and become lost in the desert. While trippingContinue reading “Chocolate Death Trilogy…”
Breaking Static Loops…
We spend our youth in wait to get old. By the time we’re getting there, that feeling grows cold. Instead a reflection of what is days past. Moments where nostalgia will happen and last. Hoping for more or less time as we spend our days. This thought process taking even more to waste. Reflect onContinue reading “Breaking Static Loops…”
This is Boards Of Canada (Video Mix)
Starting a new ‘This Is’ collection. It will consist of music and videos from a various specific artist. Audio video meshed and mixed together in surrealism. Spreading the sound and taste of my favorite artists through a new art form. This is the sample draft of what is to come with other artists… Note, thisContinue reading “This is Boards Of Canada (Video Mix)”
Process of Light…
The stars, vessels of light. Exposing themselves in the night. Aged past, viewed from afar. Every time we look at a star. Sol, our star bright and true. Closest, to help keep us warm too. As we spin, chart, and navigate our kin. With Sol, a Sun of many brethren. While our planets drift throughContinue reading “Process of Light…”
The Generative Law
The Generative Law encompasses all 7 hermetic principle and is the true action to fundamentally making law of attraction happen. It can mislabeled as love, but the closer definition would be care or drive. It’s the generative function of the ambition it takes to allow the other 7 Principles to become. It is also knownContinue reading “The Generative Law”
Existence of Now
Now is consistently the only everlasting moment. Not to exaggerate it with the idea of time as an illusion. That would be pure nonsense. We are indeed linear creatures by nature. Therefore this gives us the advantage, in any given now. Time allows us to have learned from the past, and to be proactive aboutContinue reading “Existence of Now”
When Questioning Existence
Without questioning existence too much, understand we are here. Optimistically, we absolutely accept why. Pessimistically, we tend to doubt why. The answer to the question will not be found in the why, but rather the way. How we chose to exist. Whether optimistic or pessimistic, the way we choose to react and present ourselves ultimatelyContinue reading “When Questioning Existence”
Testimony of Life
When and why did we stop preaching life? It would seem we like to preach death. Even the consequences after which. Yet, we rarely give praise to life itself. The most common person to give praise to life is someone whose life is spent. I refuse to become another statistic though. I will preach lifeContinue reading “Testimony of Life”
Paintbrush of Mind…
How to paint your own backdrop? Start without landscaping so much to where one will have to crop. Allowing all the people to better fully see. What it is that is truly surrounding Thee. For once people can see and think of one’s view. They grasp a better concept of that which is ‘You’. WhenContinue reading “Paintbrush of Mind…”
Wants – Alan Watts + AFX (Electric Icarus Remix)
Analogue Philosophy Project: Alan Watts lecture mixed to 3 AFX Analord Tracks Lecture: “What do you want?” Songs: pwsteal.ldpinch.d Where’s Your Girlfriend? Crying In Your Face “Wants” (4th Kind Mix)
The Writing Backdrop
I hear the track, then see the light. Before I can hear it, the train is in sight. The whistle blows loud but, not as cold as the wind. Not on a night 8 stories up, before the snow comes in. The train passes, and a mighty gust blows. This having an even louder soundContinue reading “The Writing Backdrop”
Chasing A Dragon…
The cryptic force that inspires us all. Things that make kingdoms crumble, and bridges fall. Onsite to do what it takes. For while in love, sometimes there are mistakes. Those mistakes that leave a heart heavy with guilt. For no one wants to damage any kind of love they’ve built. Pushing onward we move, andContinue reading “Chasing A Dragon…”
The Compassion Application
“Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” “For what else is tragedy than the portrayal in tragic verse of the sufferings of men who have attached high value to external things?” “It is possible to learn the will of nature fromContinue reading “The Compassion Application”
Atomic Evolution Machine
Immunity for what we do and how we live. Something accomplished even as a kid. Never really an excuse. More of a need or reason to have cut lose. Instead we choose our lives and how to play. Being what is known as Human molded clay. Golems, Gods, and creatures to be. Eternally known asContinue reading “Atomic Evolution Machine”
Audience to Memory…
Hurry up, yet wait. Be early, but stay late. Asleep to be awake. Doing the give and take. Finding all truths and lies. Building bonds and breaking ties. Making due, whether happy or blue. Creating each living moment as we do.
Seeds of Elysium ~ Electric Icarus Concept Album
Not an entire playlist like usual. Was feeling a concept album more appropriate. It is meant to be listened to start to finish. It has a specific flow. Clocks in as a 70 minute LP… Enjoy, happy Autumn to all! Note: Made during the Total Lunar Eclipse.
