I would rather not talk about myself a whole bunch, but the basics are that I do not watch much T.V., go to yoga class all the time, I am straight and single. I enjoy going to the movies especially the indi movie theater. I like plants but have become extreemly frustrated with one which I am giving what I think it wants but it is dying on me. My favorite foods are Mexican and East Indian. BIO One of the few classical–hard rock guitarists working in the symphonic terrain, John Prassas draws from a rich background of 20th century avant-garde music, world music, and rock instincts. As you listen, imagine, and leave all that is known for the Nagual. March 2007 A Meeting With Juan de la Cruz…… Track 1 “The Leap From Tonal to Nagual” John was writing music for Aesma Daeva’s new album 1984 when an electric-guitar theme started to present itself as an epic brass theme. “At first I tried to ignore it, but I have learned that you just have to let music run its course,” says John. The first of these pieces was “The Leap From Tonal to Nagual.” A battle with brass attacks from nowhere, and triumphant rocking choruses reward listeners as they slowly learn to become warriors with knowledge of the Nagual. The piece ends with a leap off of a cliff into an unknown gate…. Track 2 “The Garden I Long For” Deep within the abyss is “The Garden I long for”—a title inspired by one of the last paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. This song has the Japanese elements that Van Gogh loved: the bright swaying wheat fields of Arles and the contemplation that the reaper of this field is the overlord reaping the wheat of humanity. Track 3 “House of the Nagual” From this metaphorical vision of life, we are transformed and reborn in a new transparent orb of light in “The House of the Nagual.” Floating in space, our new star child gazes upon the dark tonal world that was left behind. The full length journey, “ A meeting with Juan de la Cruz,” is far from completion. The full length journey " A meeting with Juan de la Cruz" is far from completion……

Harlin Ellison says something along the lines of this. "TV is a dangerous terrain of which the topography of stupidity, and the murder of the imagination is free to exist. TV is a very dangerous thing. " From the age of about 13 or 14 I decided to avoid television. Maybe I would relate with more people if I watched TV. I just have so many other things I would rather do than watch tv
