Paula Cannoli is my nom de pen. Amelia Blanquera is the real one. For all of you aspiring writers, I'm proof that you can jump from the Collective, to the Brainlab, and now column, "Almost, Not Quite Right." My advice? Just show up, every day or whenever you can. Inspiration might not come right away. Wait for it. In the meantime, have a look around SP.
"Sweet zombie Jesus" is one of my favorite exclamations. I frequently make cat noises and know that I know more than I think I know and yet absolutely nothing.
I'm a lover of all things creative, mythic, mystic and whatever makes us dig the buttery goldmine of human consciousness. Mmm...pancakes...
Soul calling: discover and provide humanity with real soul-searching tools that EVERYONE is compelled to use. So, I'm one happy little clam being a part of the SP Team!! Yeeehaw!
I currently live in one of the best cities ever: Hamburg, DE.
The love of my life is life. What an experience. The opportunity for love, anger, joy, pain, passion, loss, faith, miracles, grief, healing, discovering, connecting day after day. What will the next unknown moment hold? SoulPancake was unexpected and here it is. This I like.
I'm a writer with a taste for design, and a Soulpancake contributor with a craving for creativity. I love coffee so much that I drink tea for breakfast. I'm always on the lookout for useless trivia or artistic inspiration. Always.
You can also find me writing webtastic stuff at themetaQ.com.
Walking the tightrope, bloodied.
i live for 80 degree weather, my tweezers, and a lot of laughter.
grew up outside of nashville, tennessee - but have lived in seattle, washington for the past 10 years. i am in love with discovering the secret murk of people's lives. the good stuff.
also, i have a slight obsession with poorly done russian accents, and the inappropriately funny - and i am excited to be part of the SoulPancake BrainLab:)
I've been told that my laugh is like the sound of the look of the legs of dancing flamingos. I can command my hands to sweat, but haven't figured out how to turn off this action. I have jumped out of a plane before. I love the fact that love is so readily available and accessible, and in so many different forms. A good tune does astounding things to my soul. I feel humbled to be part of the SP think-tank; it allows me to release creativity on a regular basis. Sometimes when I look at people I only see lights. That always makes me smile.
Frequently accidentally offensive. Sorry in advance.
If you touch me with a compliment, I get shy and forget to say thank you so, just in case, thank you in advance too.
Honored to be a member of the SP Team.
I am a cult leader. That is, creator of the upcoming cartoon series: Don't Tell My Wife I'm a Cult Leader. When I'm not cartooning, I do a lot of SoulPancaking, and I study the Austrian School of Economics.
I'm Chris Wood. My favorite drink is a Manhattan, my favorite actor is Matt Dillon, and my favorite food is hand-tossed pizza with crushed tomatoes, ricotta, and sweet Italian sausage. I really like Sam Elliot (especially as Gar in "Mask") but when it comes down to it, Matt Dillon just outpaces him in depth of catalogue. I work at SoulPancake. I don't follow directions very well, I'm not a very good photographer and I don't believe in God.
I am a wordsmith. A working journalist and editor. A magazine junkie. A member of the core team of uber-cool people behind SoulPancake (though I make no such claim to being that cool). And I consider myself a lucky woman because I get to do what I love every day.
I am an actor and a writer and I co-created SoulPancake and my son, Walter.
i co-created soulpancake, i'm getting pretty good at musical typing on garageband, and i really like these words:
"The art of music is divine and effective. It is the food of the soul and spirit. Through the power and charm of music the spirit of man is uplifted." // Abdu'l-Baha
