I missed the austin lounge lizards but will still see fishbone

damn.

I went to some of the Eugene Celebration last night and listened to the last three songs from the group KING BLACK ACID, and I enjoyed them very much. Very moody and etheral with potential infectous ruckus in the grooves. Friday night I was sleepy and came home. This afternoon I went around the celebration again, listened to some music at different stages, and came home. Tonight I want to go catch FISHBONE’s act. I remember them from the late 80’s and would like to see them again. But on checking the list of performers (a long list with 8 stages) I noted that the AUTSIN LOUNGE LIZARDS were in town. WHAT!?!?!?!?! I MISSED THEM? ARGH.

I would recommend anyone who has never seen the Austin Lounge Lizards perform to do so ASAP. They are super.

I was born in Arkansas and graduated high school in Mississippi. I joined the Marine Corps in 1989 and travelled the world for the next five years. From 1994 until 2004 I lived in California, Arkansas, Texas, and Oregon, going to different colleges (UAM, UH, UO, PSU) trying to 'follow my bliss' and live a life. In 2004 I joined the Oregon National Guard and deployed to Iraq. I recently completed two degrees (psychology and philosophy) at Portland State. I currently work as an infantry instructor, a cofacilitator with a domestic violence group, and a military culture consultant with a psychology research department. I intend to go to grad school and further my psychology training. My interests are of what makes a life worth living, what makes people flourish, what gives us hope after trauma, how do we continue to go on instead of giving up, how do we build good relationships, how do we 'live'? These have been central questions of my own for decades. My interests are what seem to be as diverse as ecology and environmentalism (politics, ethics, biology) to gender studies (masculinity, gender roles, schemas and scripts) to trauma and resilience (PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger issues, domestic violence). Yet I would argue that they are not diverse but really interconnected, related and influential to each other. My writings here are usually as it comes to me. Here and there are a paper that I turned in to a class or the like. But for the most part these are my wrestling with ideas and emotions. As such there are contradictions and changes and failings as well as insights and triumphs.
