COMPULSION....

I'm amazed. I haven't blogged for MONTHS. And yet it feels like only WEEKS! Fortunately, I HAVE been doing! I'm working on a movie about my
Synaptic Adventure, Tourettes. So my lack of Synaptic Adventure Blog posts is NOT representative of a lack of ...well...DOING! I'm starting a new trend, though. Today's blog marks the start of what will be a weekly event.

That said, How have you been? What are you up to? What do you WANT to be up to? If you were up to THAT thing you wanted to be up to, WHERE would you be up to it at? Geographically, philosophically, economically, AND.. anatomically? No need to answer those questions, unless you feel you must. Have to. Feel...COMPELLED to! Compulsion. It's a force. Of nature. HUMAN nature.
Or is it? ONLY human? Instinct is NOT Compulsion. Instinct is survival Compulsion is more akin to..DESIRE. Consequently, arguably human.


So by all means, feel..free...ANSWER the questions!

WHATs Happening!!??

Hello fine folks!

I just got back from a fantastic "Jam Band " festival called Jam at the Grove and let me tell you, these band where TOP NOTCH awesome! Video below...

I have been searching for fresh musical talent (to my ears) to bring into my movie project and I have MORE-than found that! An excellent guitar wiz/one-man-band-type dude is Keith Kenny (video below) ..a band named Papadosio. SO...the script for A SynapTIC Adventure: Tourettes and Beyond expands as there will be cameo-type appearances by some of these awesome musical comrades.

ALSO I met a camera person...who has Tourettes! Haha...I hope that doesn't... shake... you up! LOL...Quite honestly, there is a strong focus-abiltiy quality about this fine brain anomaly that enables incredible concentration. In one of his books titled 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat' , author/physician Oliver Sacks tells the story of a brain surgeon in British Columbia who has TS. This surgeon would tic and tic-swear and tic-throw things at the 'fridge when at home. His wife explains to Sacks that "this is where he can cut loose"! A BRAIN SURGEON!... can you imagine?! woah! "nurse?...scalpel...oops!...replacement nurse?... scalpel...oops! new replacement nurse?..." Seriously though, he is excellent and steady of hand during procedures. Amazing brain. However, I'm quite sure he had to work to gain the confidence of his follow surgeons...and patients.

It has been my experience that explanation followed by demonstration is
crucial to the brain's ability to comprehend in a holospheric manner. So,
here's some video:
