this past weekend was filled with much much joyous jubilation
in honor of my dear friend patrick
i also got to meet some really nice lovely people
(hi christina brandi steven!)
but before the weekend came to a close i went out to dinner
with two friends
one of those friends was matt
matt duncan is someone i truly admire
i mean i respect all my friends but he is one of the people i respect the most
he is the most kindest most gentlest most humble most honest person i have ever met
he doesnt hold the slightest bit of resentment/anger/hate for anyone or anything
despite all the hardships he has faced and is facing
he is a man of science and an exceptional artist
he draws and makes music full of ambient electronic blips and bleeps
with complex textures and atmospheres from all over the cosmos
he once mixed kraftwerk's computer world album
with dark side of the moon
his skills on the turntables will take you to that place between waking and dreaming
we have spent countless nights at his place
partaking in science experiments/art/reading/delicious vegetarian meals/illicit activities
he expanded my realm of thought incredibly
and how to tolerate
and to breathe like a monk living in a cave in the himalayan mountains
and sleep like a hibernating bear

if you want to enjoy people/animals/nature more
if you want more attention paid to your needs
if you want to have more of an impact in your community
you should meet matt duncan
even if only for 10 minutes
