This past Friday, Joe Black and I embarked on a powerful spirit quest — an internet spirit quest. After inhal…, ur, finding the correct frame of mind, we began our journey through cyberspace, starting at the mind blowing portal known as YouTube. Our journey lasted late into the night and we saw many wondrous things. I have attempted here to map out our journey so that when you, dear reader, decide to go on your own isq you will be somewhat prepared. But a warning, this map requires time to view and understand. Do not attempt to rush through it, or the value will be lost.

The first sight that we beheld was the result of Mr. Black’s plunging into a dance fever. For those of you wondering who those funked-out Black guys are, it Sly and the Family, baby!

The fever did not stop there, rather it took us back to a time when an excess and passion for fashion, sex, drink and dance mirrored that of our own. Gotta love a dance beat mixed with a little Fitzgerald.

Much like life, an isq can take you in strange directions which is the only way I can figure that Joe Black and I found this piece of wonder. It’s simple, true, but hilarious and trippy and most amazingly to me, someone took the time to make think it up and then put it on cyber-paper.

By this point we had cleared our minds of the simple pleasures and were ready for something with substance. I find that this is a reoccurring desire in my life and I was pleased to find Mirador. The nature of the spirit quest does not always allow for simple communication. I will let this speak for itself.

At this point in our isq, Joe Black and I had come to a point of silence; the beginning point of inspiration and wordless knowing.

As if to remind us that too much seriousness is never a good thing, the last place in our isq left us giggling and singing the… let’s go with “catchy” theme song to this short series.
