sex 2

(whereby I diarize my immersion into the first of several mind altering states, this week is sex)

Had sex twice today. Funny how much sex is a physical workout. I felt pumped through my tri's, chest and abs afterward as we basked in the glow. I'm surprised no one has figured out a way to market a 'sex workout' book/tape yet. I mean they have shows where obese people run through hoops, eat water for breakfast lunch and dinner. Why does losing weight have to be grueling and painful? Even a masturbation workout could be fun...

"Kathy you fat pig drop to the floor and give me 50. Now stand up straight. Knees apart shoulder length. Right hand on breasts, left hand on pubis, counterclockwise rubbing, now give me 5 deep knee bends."

For the second sex act of the day we were doing it as 'Roots' played in the background. Don't ask. One of the most intense scenes in the series just happened to be running as we headed into the final stretch.
"What's your name?"
"Kunte Kinte"
"No, that's not your name! What's your name?"
(Whipping sounds)
"Your name is Toby!"
(More sounds of lashes)
"No, Kunte Kinte!"
"Dammit nigger what's your name!"
(Horrible lashings)
....."...Toby"
"I can't have sex with this on."

I don't know what was more disturbing, the fact that I was blocking it out or the fact that she was listening.

sex 1

(whereby I diarize my immersion into the first of several mind altering states, this week is sex)

First thought was, alright what the hell am i doing? Sex week? i don't even have sex. ...
Second thought was. No porno allowed this week. Too easy.
Then I took the gf out to wine bar in Williamsburg (Cornichon), had a plate of meat and cheese some good wine, holding hands, romantic walk back to subway and then i spring it on her, so we're doing this sex thing right?
"What sex thing?"
"You know weekly song and video due. This week it's sex... I wink and nod. You remember I'm recording a song, I'm going to need material...."
"Good luck." she says.

With music now available with a single, offhand click, it's easy to forget that songs are not born whole, polished and ready to play.

They are created by artists who draw on some combination of craft, skill and inspiration.

How much of their work is influenced by their surroundings, by their 'normal' consciousness?

Join musician Ben Warren as he intoxicates the brain through sex, drugs, alcohol, rage, and travel.

And then allows these altered states to guide him through two months of song and video creation.

Breeze

Again siting near the window I notice
A tempermental breeze
Streaming over my small indoor garden
The avocado tree shivers
While absorbing the beneficial fresh air
We do not usually think of this
But our planted flowers
Need not only the sun and water
But also the feel of the wind
On their stems and branches.
You will say with some reason
That the breeze gives to them the taste of freedom
That they do not enjoy 
After all, like domesticated animals
They miss the sway of the ancient jungles
During the storms, high winds
Which sliced through ancestral lands and forests
From whence came genetically their ancestors
We say commonly to each other "free as the wind"
Energy not harnessed to work our machines
Dont we laud the "breath of fresh air"
Because it is something ever new 
In our repetitive workaday
Ô wind unstable, unpredictable, uncertain and at times dangerous
Keep on shifting our skies above us!
