Matthew Graybeal's Journal
Manic Thunder
Name:Matthew Graybeal
Website:Manic Thunder
Bio:Hello there! I am an esoteric poet trying to figure out what this world has in store for me. Patience, diligence, and a pervasive smile will get me through the thickest of chaos. Life is amazing because of its simple, joyous nature. I consider myself a realistic dreamer. This paradox is liberating as it allows me to enjoy the mystery of our existence. I have a website at ManicThunder.com which exhibits my poetry and photography. I would love any and all feedback. If it sounds like we might connect please send an e-mail and share your visions!

Northwest passion invades every pore of my native Oregon soul. My true love manifests in photography, poetry, camping, truth, kicking back, soccer, my two boy kitty cats, Bodhi the Beagle, independent media, compassion, our Oregon coast, philosophical bouts of chess, Tibetan Buddhism, nonviolent activism, road trips, frisbee, peace, Scrabble, waking up to that sunflower smile next to mine, organic everything, coaching Special Olympics, sunsets, liberal idealism, horseback riding, invigorating discussions, and blissful fields of wildflower simplicity.

Music that takes my mind into bouts of complete lucidity include blues, reggae, jazz, bluegrass, Grateful Dead, Phish, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews, St. Germain, Morphine, Thievery Corporation, and at least a million more artists. Essentially, stimulate my mind and I will dig your tunes.

My ideal friends radiate happiness, compassion, empathy, trust, open hearts, stability, and affection for that which is natural. Magnificence permeates as you look at the universe with hope, courage, and a vision of liberation for all beings. You have bursts of brilliance and at the same time make me laugh hysterically. My spirit is yearning to explode with good times. Let's go out and have them! All I ask is that you live life with a gigantic smile, your heart be pure and passion vivid. I will take you to your extremes and allow you to feel safe there. I invite you to taste my peaceful smile. If you want to hop along for a ride into poetic psychedelia I would love to be your guide!

Until next time please visit Manic Thunder...
