about

Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah, HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH

I put a high priority on humor. There's a history to it, so it's got some eternal weight, and its physiological correlates are all positive, which is something to pay attention to. And as a way to deal with situations of 'insecurity' it's more constructive than destructive, more often than not, can we say? What I'm talking about is response strategy, reconciliation strategy, thinking strategy, existing strategy, shape of process, what I'm talking about is process.
Isn't it pretty cool that I breathe without thinking? What else do I do without thinking? What else keeps me alive and I don't even know it, that is, what else do I consider to be existence?
As in, I can stop breathing once I realize I'm breathing, but what was it doing before I noticed? And also, I can't easily stop breathing, my body will fight me, it doesn't want to give up the only truth it knows. I can slow down breathing, I can speed it up, I will slow breathing, it will speed up.

What other compulsions lie at my core, what is really in control? How dominated am I by the context that flows through me, how elegantly do I dance with it, how do I get out of its way, how do I point my middle finger at it? How much time is it reasonable to spend investigating these questions? Can I be my own arbiter of reason?? If the answer's "No" does that make me a sheep or a good participator?

Dislodge me from context! Who are you Who is me?

Yes, the Best of Kern Haug is everything, each track essential, no effort is a failure just another facet :~) And here it all is! You sort, you decide----a handed down idea of Best supports hierarchical structures and I'm not about that.

We're talking Folk Art here people, Folk Art.

Thanks for coming out.
