1.Cubism is a description or label for a period or process of art style pioneered by Pablo Picasso. Picasso broke his images into pieces and changed subjects colors either by choosing hues across the color wheel or those which suited some other artistic purpose necessary to complete his theme. His broken mirror pieces probably were devices which allowed him to put other dimensions (time and space) of each subject matter onto the same canvas in whatever rearrangement suited his whims and compositions needs. In this manner, Pablos renderings actually escaped the limited dimensions of the canvas for all time.
2. The state of being a Cubano or Cubana refugee who has been torn from the old homeland and forced to accept the foibles and exhilerations of the new one.

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.

a short form of poetry mutated from haiku which is about vinyards, wine, wine country, drinking & tasting wine or the effects thereof. it has the same format as haiku (ie. three lines with 5-7-5 syllables).
1. Reciting wineku while tasting wine lends literary accompanyment to the spirit of the grape.
2. An example of wineku:
from mouth to stomach
wine becomes internal falls
uncorks dry laughter

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.

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!"
