Video Find of the Day
Being Xenomanic, I'm often in the position of being blown away by something just because I've never seen anything like it before, because I want to be, and I go out of my way to make that happen. Then, people who know much better about what I've seen say, "you fool, that was just a beginner, you haven't seen anything good yet."
Since this guy says that scientists have identified 12 kinds of throat-singing, and he, a student, only does 6 of them, I'm inclined to think that's what's going on here. I can't wait to find the video of the guy who does all 12!
By the way, Ulaan Bataar is my favorite name of a city to drop into my writing in order to have specifically named a city, when the specific naming of a city is called for, for comic effect. I recall a documentary that claimed that the majority of the city's residents at any given time are just passing through. Even the city is nomadic.
About Me
- Dr. Wes Browning
- I have a doctorate in Mathematics from Cornell. I am amused by this. My parents tried to kill me on my 1st birthday. Though I now can't speak it much, and though my parents never could, my first language was Hawaiian, not English. I partially credit an I'iwi for my survival. Hear one on the audio clip at my complete profile. I've been homeless a number of times, for a total of about 4 years. For some of that time I supported myself with the sale of paintings. One of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the premier issue of Real Change, see the links below. Since that first issue in 1994 I have become part of its volunteer editorial committee. I write a regular humor column for the paper, currently titled Adventures in Irony. I serve on the Real Change Board of Directors. I feed the Real Change cat Sid Vicious. Anitra Freeman and I are an item.
