SUCCESS!!! WOOOT!!! well, sort of... :P

Check out this uber-cool upgrade of KenWilber.com. It's one of the best web sites ever! And I'm not just saying this because it's Ken Wilber. You just have to see it for yourself.

And guess what? KDub got blog! WOOOT! Check out the KW Blogosphere. I knew it! That bald dude would eventually yield! See KW's first blog post. I just hope he keeps up with it. Resistance is partial!

The quest to get Ken Wilber to blog has taken us to many strange places. It has spanned many generations (reference to age differences of the people on posting on this thread) and many nations (one thing is for sure: Leendert is not from around here) and now it has led us, me personally, but us as a collective (in so many ways) to this: a song. So let me break it down for you in a way that will make it clear I have no idea what I'm talking about. I start off with some eerie, easily alienable tension in the form of piano. When I played that piano part I swear to you it was like the Heavens opened up and God was a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers telling me to move my fingers just so. I follow it up with a touch of seemlessly integrated repose. This carries smoothly (like a really strong paper thin mint) to it's inevitable demise. Like a beautiful purple egg shell, cold but admirably lifeless, this intro gives way to something perhaps uglier than it's container but undeniably alive. The latin groove took me about four hours to make. That's a lie. When it came down to a voiceline I was stumped. I decided to tap into a storewell of injustly segregated consciousness (the consciousness of the white rat who was tried at a congressional hearing for passing consciously-conscious legislature mandating the effective of 2002 release of all involuntarily domesticated white rat populations), and the white rat told me: sing deeply, like a MAN! So while it doesn't look like it, in a way the white rat inspired me because I did the opposite. Often it is this way with music and culture. There is often an element of animilistic/animistic positive thygmotaxis (opposition reflex) that plays a role in the creation of music. Even our emergant art forms (video games) hint at this broadly-voiced teenage battle cry of 'stop f**king us over you a**holes'. No different with this song. So with the voiceline complete (thank you white rats who will forever remain captive) I finished it by retreating to and revisiting (but not regressing to) that piano. That catlike, snake-ish paino. John Cleese would be proud. Thanks ~C4Chaos. Now hundreds of thousands of people will hear my song! HURRAY!

hey guys, check it. this thread now is slowly becoming a cult infected with deadly Wiberitis.

it now has an eerie soundtrack complete with chanting in Latin, augmented piano tunes with a techno feel, and androgynous vocals. Check it out.

K DUB WON'T YOU BLOG?
(click to play song)

this song was composed, arranged, and performed by a weird guy with a looong(non)greasy hair named Brondu.

it sticks to your head like a bubble gum. resistance is partial. you've all been warned.

may the Flying Spaghetti Monster have mercy on our souls.

~C4Chaos agrees with Matthew and gives Ken a piece of his own medicine.

Ken Wilber "ain't got no time" to blog, eh? Perhaps instead of taking street drugs, he ought to try some of his own medicine.

I'm also feeling Ken on this. I am pressed for time and I'm not even Ken Wilber. But, Coolmel you're really making waves here. I tip my hat to your persistance for this mighty cause of blogging.

hi mel

So that is true, I wondered if it was. :o) I am also wondering about the 'puter deficit, as in haves and have-nots and the world open to 'puter haves and the world shut to 'puter have-nots. I just returned from a visit with one of my best friends who has a particularly vicous form of cancer. They have a monthly support group for the people who have this kind of cancer. And she was telling me how wonderful it was to talk to other people who are dealing with the same Big Nasty she is. And she has excellent family support. But some of the people what we would have called underpriveleged back in college days, live way out in the western par tof our state in tiny rural communities. I suggested a support group online, either here or tribe or yahoo or something. And ya know what? The people without support also were withouit 'puter skills and pc's.

Now there would be a great use of techie brains, teaching the elderly and poor cancer patients how to use pc's so they can beef up their support network. Whaddaya think?

Peace 'n all
