Why
NOT NORMAL
"Sometimes a thing and the opposite of the thing are both true." -not sure... attributed to one of the Marsalis maestros.
This is just a random bonus jazz/art/Zen concept that I believe.
"To be normal is the ultimate aim of the unsuccessful." -Carl Jung
Along with the notion that aiming for normal is an unsuccessful way to live, Carl Jung helped himself to some serious psychotropic chemicals. Which helped him lay out his version of a mind map...
-
Individual Consciousness.
-
What YOU THINK.
-
-
Individual Unconscious.
-
What YOU FEEL, mostly without quite knowing why.
-
-
Collective Unconscious.
-
What WE ALL THINK AND FEEL, whether we know it or not.

Why
The World's Oldest Intern
I got this nickname at iO-Chicago around 2013. I was forty-three years old when I convinced somebody who worked for Charna to hire me as a bar back, box office assistant, janitor. Trash bag humility.
Some caustic wit joked that I was the world's oldest intern...so I did what any improviser does. I agreed and added a bit.
The willingness to do anything to support live improvisation became the cornerstone of my professional choices. As far as I am concerned, there's nothing better.
