cute cats - a shopping list - random music - links - sophisticated food - and a pinch of randomness
Hello
I thought I'd write you a little something
When I sit by the computer and work, I like to listen to random music, and one of my favourite places to do so is 8track where you can listen to peoples `mixed tapes`.
Press play and have a listen for the rest of the read.
I never thought I would post a picture of a cat on internet, and even less so here on my own personal blog. But here I am, embedding a mix with a bloody cat looking all comfortable, fluffy and cute.
Anyhow.
Today was Wednesday which is great as that means P and I go to the market and buy our food. We go twice a week, Saturdays and Wednesdays to keep us stocked up with nice fresh greens and fruits..
Today we bought> 20 green coconuts - box of bananas (probably 60-80 bananas) - 3 pineapples - 4 kg of tomatoes - 4 large avocados - box of kakis/persimmon, (12 big ones) - 16 figs - big bunch of coriander - big bunch of dandelion leafs - and 2 massive passion fruits
We have plenty of greens in the garden so we don`t really need to buy greens, but it is nice to get something grown in a different soil.
P got some potatoes and mandioca (a root) to make gnocci for her father who is 78 tomorrow - This is also why we got so many tomatoes as I promised to do one of my famous tomato sauces... which I haven't done for about 2 years as it is cooked. I will definitely try some since P spent probably 4 hours making the gnocci (potato pasta). To give P some company in the kitchen I created some awesome raw chocolates for her dads birthday, he loves our chocolates.
I don't use recipes and I seldom write down my own creations, but do I record them in my mind - where they usually stay.
P has however started a site in Portuguese and in English, where she is, and will share some of my recipes with you. Alongside health and nutritional information, inspiration and well-being. Naturally she has to get into the habit of writing for it, and also get me to sit down and write the ingredients list for the dishes that she chooses. To visit click the link: Comida Do Sol
Creating food that is tasty, gourmet and healthy is not only a good idea, it shows intelligence and sophistication, as well as being highly rewarding to both mind and body.
When you have friends over for dinner, or make something nice for the family, introduce something delicious and healthy. there are tons of recipes of healthy mouthwatering raw food on the internet, so it really is just to take a pick, and tweak after your own taste-buds.
I.e. This cake here sounds fantastic, try it out, I bet you will be knocked off your socks. Love Raw is an expert on desserts that are good for you and taste good, now that is cool...
I would substitute the agave for either honey or some other raw sweetener but that is the great thing with preparing things yourself, you can tweak it to your preference. to get the cake recipe go here: Love Raw
Raw desserts are not about maximum health, they are not even about raw food, they are about eating something delicious - and we all like to eat delicious food.
Check back on Saturday and I will let you know what we bought, that way you get an idea of what we eat in a week.
Much Love,

We are the thieves
We are the thieves of our freedom.
We are the thieves of our life.
We are the thieves of our health.
We are the thieves of our good fortune
Through our choices we choose to have or not to to have.
Through our beliefs we choose to receive or reject.
Through our actions we create our life
Through consciousness we live
no one can steal your life away - but you.

Music and Now Revolution
Because that's what friends do isn't it.
the world on higher downs
http://www.myspace.com/theworldonhigherdowns
Turn your speakers up and listen, rather nice I think.
keep believing, and keep preparing for the revolution. it will not be televised, and it will not be reported on by anyone but you. The revolution is already here, so wake up, start seeing the present, give thanks to the moment, you don't have to like what you see, but you have to see it for what it is, reality, and reality in itself is beautiful. Now is the only moment that matters, if you are not present Now, it will have past, so don't spend the Now thinking about the past or the what ifs of the future. think of the now, act on the now, and do the best of the now, now. Every thing you think of and do becomes your future, what you do now, will have an impact on your future, and the now is constantly changing as is the past and future. impact your future by being in the now with positive thoughts and positive actions, now creates your future, what you are thinking right now will create how you will respond, look or think about something in the future, or in the new now. try to catch your negative actions and thoughts when they come in the now. stop yourself when you are thinking of the what ifs from the past, think of the now. Think of the wonder that you are creating every moment of every second: your life. a truly glorious gift, make the most of it, and remember that you, your mind, your body and your spirit is free, and belongs to no man, woman, organization or government. you are born free, and it is your right to remain free. look around you and see what encroaches on your personal freedom and question it. you are free, and now is the moment to be free.
For the Revolution!
For the Now!
For Love

no internet!
I have lounged in to homelessness, which has worked out rather well thanks to great friends who have helped me out with a studio flat a camper van and a room. This has me humbled and very grateful towards them...
However I haven't had Internet on tap, something I am used to and has had the last 7 years or so. and with no laptop ( I only have a desktop which is not connected) doing your normal writing and work is rather hard.
As such I have read a lot of books, and spent allot of time doing nothing (meditating), or picking up the guitar, with the effort to master it...
I have also had time to squeeze in two Festivals, the Glade and the Big Chill, both was a great experience and I had many waken hours, took in some great music, and had a glorious time... due to this I have spent approx 10 days of my homelessness spell in a tent.
Side note: Wobbly Squadron at Glade and British Sea Power, Bonobo, Gong and Black Sand at Big Chill, sonic landscapes and musical art at it's very best!
It is refreshing with no internet, at the same time, very difficult to do what I want to do, prepare for my new life in the new world...
I will purchase myself a laptop soon, and that should get me on the track towards regular writing, and research.
The time is ticking down, and it is time for me to publish before I leave this rather unharmonious internet cafe for some mundane house tasks.
Remember that you are unique just like everybody else!
with Love!

I feel it's about time
I haven't written in a while which mainly is due to me being busy with other worldly things. like working, eating, getting from point A to point B, sleeping, engaging in the odd social encounters, spending time with my beautiful wife to be, and as always, reading and educating myself.
I have lately had many blog-thoughts and I have so many things I want to share with you, but it has created an overload in the system, so I don't know what to write about first... so I thought a "subject-less" blog-entry without any "prep" or forethought is the only way to go.
Well it isn't the only way to go, but it is the rout I just now have decided to go down (up, along, sideways - well, we'll see what direction it takes).
So I changed the URL for my blog, to www.whatistheroad.blogspot.com instead of the old and in many peoples minds Anti and Agressive libertarian anarchist. I did/do kind of agree with you and just the name itself most likely detered many people from reading it in the first place.
it wasn't my first choice, but all the good names were taken, or so I thought until I found the new one. but let me explain the reason for my previous name: libertariananarchist
lets break it up: libertarian
1. One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
2. One who believes in free will.
Noun
a person who believes in freedom of thought and action
Adjective
believing in freedom of thought and action
I can justly say that I am, and believe strongly in all of the above:
- we are all free people with free will - if we exercise said will - sadly majority of people let the box (TV), corporate media and peer groups be our will.
next word then: anarchist
An advocate of or a participant in anarchism.

next word then: anarchist
An advocate of or a participant in anarchism.
1. a person who advocates anarchism- to a certain degree, yes I do.
2. a person who causes disorder or upheaval - don't we all at times? or if not, we should all do so at times, if not just to keep ourselves and the "powers to be" on our/their toes.
to clarify: anarchism
to clarify: anarchism
1. The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished. - governments are there to govern, a free person does not need to be governed, that is all I have to say about it.
2. Active resistance and terrorism against the state, as used by some anarchists. - this is not what I mean and I do not condone it, however, if said "state" is using terror towards its citizens it might be the only solution, but I would prefer to call it revolution!
3. Rejection of all forms of coercive control and authority - is your parents authority then don't, but if the authority is, say, a policeman trying to stop you going to a peacful protest, then yes!Noun
a doctrine advocating the abolition of government and its replacement by a social system based on voluntary cooperation - now doesn't that sound nice!
or, anarchism:
1. a political theory advocating the elimination of governments and governmental restraint and the substitution of voluntary cooperation among individuals. - See this is what I mean it is for cooperation and against restraints. this is the tree I am barking up, and who is the cat sitting in the tree you ask.
2. the methods and practices of anarchists - what ever that is? all I know is that media is painting it out to be a truly bad and violent, hence I decided I have to change the name as majority of people think of negative things when they hear the word anarchist.
so the new name then?
What is the road - well come with me on my blog journey and I shall show you!
- the road is happiness but the landscape you see from this road is not always a happy and a pretty one, but if you stay on the road, you will not let the landscape bring you down, just empower you...
