change

 two things i have done that were on my checklist, both related to rebellion (not me being rebellious but the creators): read Dharma Punx by Noah Levine, a fast read for anyone, particularly those of us who found acceptance and family in the punk rock sub-culture and politics as young person who didn't fit anywhere else, check...

"The Buddha said his path to awakening was one of rebellion – a subversive path that is against greed, against hatred, and against delusion. It is a path of radical, engaged transformation, a path of finding freedom and spending the rest of our lives giving it away. It is a path that goes Against the Stream."

and visit the Kinetic Sculpture Museum, newly relocated to Eureka, check... 

apparently my aesthetic has mellowed since i was a frustrated punk kid, and i am now more interested in the natureish paintings on the walls than the kinetic devices, but i like the idea of more people using elaborate kinetic mobiles to get around every day, if not only to irritate people in gas guzzlers driving from one parking lot to the next...

i could try moving to Amsterdam, but then i would just be normal instead of an irritating provoker of change.
