Yesterday, She and I broke out the Just Because Club book again.
This time, we decided to head downtown to the heart of Eugene, OR for a dice walk. Without giving too much away, let’s just say it surprised both of us.
The exercises in the book have a tendency to create an eerie ambiance. This eerie [...] Read more »

Good Evening Readers!
If you have been following this blog, you have noticed a lot of discussion around the Just Because Club experiments. Well, tonight I have a special treat for you, and it was a special treat for me too. Secret Agent 333 went to great pains to track down the creator of the Just [...] Read more »

I just finished watching a Swedish film called Storm.
I watched the film after walking to the library and reading every last word in every book on three shelves of books. I had planned on typing up the list here for your reading pleasure. No. I will share some interesting bits and pieces of what arose, [...] Read more »

Today, I could not resist digging back into my handy-dandy brain-expansion kit, the Just Because Club:
From this text, I have plucked many experiments. Today, the one I plucked suggested that I take a walk downtown, and whenever I approach an intersection, to roll a 6-sided-die. (you know, the square ones?)
1 or 6= go straight
2= take [...] Read more »

Last night, in addition to all the rest of the posts you saw appear here, I did another Just Because Club experiment. This time, the directions were to investigate my bedroom as if it were the room of a stranger, all the while deducing things about the inhabitants by the things in the room, the [...] Read more »
Today, in addition to the last 5 or so posts I have shared with you, here is another one.
This one is the initial post I intended to do for the day. Again, I opened up my faithful Deck of Captured Moments (click on the link to read the first post that explains the Deck of [...] Read more »
Hmmmm, somewhere in my wandering the bardos yesterday I forgot to post this entry…Now, you’ll just have to deal with a couple extra entries for today.
I went wandering down to the local coffeeshop and library, they both exist in the same vast parking lot and strip mall area here. On the way home, I decided [...] Read more »

Setting out with a bit of inspiration from the vast and concise wordplay and in-depth consciousness investigation documented and performed by Eric Olson at his site, the Frank Olson Project.
Further, he has put forth a praxis of self-examination, discovery, and transcendence that involves a method of collage. Explore this HERE.
Tonight, I went through the “Collect” [...] Read more »

Last night I slept for an extra 4.5 hours beyond what I had set out to do. I laid in bed stretching my face for about 15 minutes after the alarm went off at 6:30am, but somehow I fell back asleep until 10:30am. So, now I will resume the 30 minuts every 4 hours sleep [...] Read more »

No camera for now. Although the camera on my machine just got back from getting fixed. Oh well.
On the second day in L.A., the adventure was brief, but enjoyable. In the very early morning, the raining finally stopped pounding the outside of our tent. We had made it through the night relatively dry, with the [...] Read more »
Captured Moments….yet again, I have unwrapped my foil-wrapped deck of moments, and this time the instructions directed me to write a sound detail for each of them.
For the back-story to this post, check: Captured Moments.
I noticed this time that I went very quickly through the deck, reading just enough to be able to remember the [...] Read more »
Late last night I dove deeper into the Deck of Captured Moments activity from the Just Because Club book. To read more about it, begin a few posts back and work your way back to the present entry.
I notice an enhanced awareness of each of the senses in my experiences throughout the day. Since last [...] Read more »
Thanks for joining me for another installment of my Just Because Club memory adventure! I do not know exactly just how this “Captured Moments” activity has jostled and messed with my brain just yet. Of course, as the activity deepens, my flow of memories throughout the day has increased and grown far more compelling and [...] Read more »

It has gotten a little harder to tell the difference between what happens right NOW in the ever-present moment, and what has already occured. Once some kind of sensory data hits the brain and registers as sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell, the event that caused it has already passed on. So, every perception a [...] Read more »

Choosing sides in fake-ass battles does not excite me. Watching people who vomit media feeds all over each other, however, does excite me. The near-total faith in elections, electoral politics, and media “coverage,” astonishes me every single day.
Today at the local health food store here in Carlsbad, most folks at the checkout engaged each other [...] Read more »
