highku

a type of short form zen poetry that's the same as haiku (ie., 5-7-5 syl per line) but which has reference to altered states of consciousness.

When the doors of perception are thrown wide or torn off their fasteners; short verse constructs such as highku can capture moments, realizations and altered glimpses of other states of consciousness.

pansy play

football plays/playbook invented by John "Spot" and Jimmy "Weasel" at Redondo Union High School in the mid 60's which were comprised of quick passes that could not be defended. Probably the original "West Coast Offense" later coined and used in NFL by Bill Walsh and company.

When John and Jimmy started moving the ball downfield with the "pansy play" Larry, Dear Old Dad, Ears, Walter, David, Tyler and others could not defend it!

Lost Angels

An insider name for Los Angeles coined by Jim 'the weaz' in middle 1960's which was brought about by a realization that even angels could get lost in the smog of Los Angeles on a SMOG ALERT day.

The Barnowl Brothers left Lost Angels via Highway 101 on a roadtrip to San Freako with tickets to New Years Eve at Winterland 1969 burning holes in their pockets.

clown race

1. any race or competition that's more of a comedy than a real test of speed or endurance 2. Homo Sapiens

1. While watching the NASCAR vehicles making left turns all afternoon on TV as well as viewing the weekend freeway action through the window; I realized they were both clown races.
2. Taking into account natural resources, global politics and the lack of unity on planet earth; the inhabitants thereof should be known as the clown race.

extheism

The state of rejection of any make beliefs pertaining to the existence of god (also known as cults & religions of same) which were programmed from birth, reached for due to life trauma, clutched at for group identity, financial greed reasons, shelter from addictions or leaned on to quell fear of the unknown or other disturbing fears and a plethora of classic human weaknesses.

After years of brain-washing and constant systematic reinforcement of existence of god; James decided to embrace extheism in order to get honest and put aside the following of make beliefs which were a product of childhood suseptablility so that he could accept the mystery of life and do the right things without the crutch and pretense of trumped up constructs.

Chevy Chaser

Name of a locally famous dog straight out of Northern California history. He lived in the 80's and early 90's and was a Timberwolf, Malamute, Siberian Husky and German Shepard mix. His ashes now reside on top of Mount Saint Helena.

When Jim brought Chevy Chaser home from the Humane Society in Sebastopol; this amazing pup had followed the Chevy Z28 a couple hundred yards down a country road and into the driveway as Donna said, "He's a Chevy Chaser!"

Snoopyville

Another name for Santa Rosa, the home of deceased Charles Schultz and his awesome canine creation who'll live forever known as the one and only Snoopy.

Although Santa Rosa is known as the center of the redwood empire as well as a major hub of northern California wine country; if it's real importance was reflected in its name it would be forever called "Snoopyville".
