If you leave with a fuzzy head, wondering what the heck just went down after you read the Day 671 entry over on Blake's THE 800 DAYS blog, then you are exactly where you should be!
Ending up in a stretched head-space - that is - perceiving of the world in a different way after encountering the thoughts of Troy Palmer - is NORMAL (if we can call anything "normal"). At least after I encounter text/music/art attributed to Mr. Palmer, I have to think about the world in a different way!
Blake gives this post over to one of Blake's and Troy Palmer's fave musical groups, "Killing Joke," as well as leaving the space for Troy to speak on dream interpretations and childhood dreams versus adult interpretations... oh and much more that I can't possibly explain since this post is all about Troy's view of dreams and the world...
Blake simply says in the introductory part of the article - to TRUST HIM... so I did.
You should too...
The Day 671 post contains wyld and interesting schtuff from Troy Palmer's mind, mouth and fingertips. We who are working on the 800 Days project cannot be held responsible for the well-being of readers who delve into Troy Palmer's thoughts, dreams, interpretations, HOWEVER, we assure you that you will think differently for at least a little while if you read on over at the 800 Days blog... this post is associated with Friday February 18 2011.

Day 674 (Tidbits)
A post worthy of TWO THUMBS UP is on THE 800 DAYS blog. Blake's Day 674 entry is about achievements in art by those who suffer mental illness - in particular - the illness of schizophrenia.
To begin with, Blake makes mention of a personal friend, Troy Palmer, before going into details about Swiss artist Adolf Wolfli. In the Day 674 article, Blake mentions that Troy suggested an article about Adolf Wolfli, so by whatever means the words were brought to the blogosphere, enjoy both the videos that are posted (which features some art pieces of Wolfli, along with suitable music) - and the article Blake created to honour Art Brut/Outsider Art!
Art Brut is also known as Outsider Art and is basically material/expression brought forth by those not traditionally schooled in the arts at a formal academic/artistic institution. I OBJECT to the widespread use of the explanations/descriptors, "raw art" and "rough art," sometimes - even though "Art Brut" quite literally means "raw/rough art" and the phrase comes to us via French language. It depends entirely, for me, on who is using these terms as to whether or not I accept the use of said words. The term "Art Brut" was coined by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985)
For me, raw/rough art can be used in a way that implies "not really art," but if the artist himself/herself uses the words and phrases to mean, "naturally occurring," "natural," or "unfettered by the frameworks of traditional schooling in the arts," as well as a humanistic, raw-authentic approach to the arts, I am quite fine with these terms.
Thanks to Troy for guiding Blake into focusing on a great topic and article. I won't elaborate on the artist as Blake has some nice information going on at The 800 Days blog. Do make sure to read comments at bottom of this article as Troy has posted some titles and such for reference or if you would like to look up/find some extras related to this topic.

Day 709 (Tidbits)
It's all about TROY PALMER on Blake's blog for the day associated with 1:11:11! This is Troy's Birthday date in the year 2011, and TROY is a friend of Blake's, as well as a contributor in THE 800 DAYS effort to inform people about all things that might just WAKE US UP and awaken our consciousness before the Mayan Calendar ends December 21, 2012.
The Day 709 post on THE 800 DAYS blog explains Troy's involvement in The 800 DAYS (Countdown) Project as well as some tidbits on Blake and Troy's relationship - which is artsy AND MUSICAL...
Yes, you read that right... Blake and Troy play music together, discuss/perform and engage in the arts. Yep, our Blake is a poet, artist AND musician...
I have to say I am "WOW-ed out" by the r/l photos on Blake's post, and I admit I have to get him into an online chat to get some more details about his relationship with Troy and Blake's own additional "artsy" stuff before I comment much further about bands, Troy, Blake's musical interests and participation in the same (remember that I am in Canada, Blake's in the U.S.A., so we're working together at a distance...there are new things I am learning about Blake every day!)...
With that, I leave off so readers can go view some cool photos of Blake, Troy and friends/musical associates. In addition to this post, I'm also drafting more bio info on Troy to place on the "People" page since I just found out that Troy has been quite involved on Blake's end - with discussing content and such for The 800 Days Project! Look for the bio information to be placed on the PEOPLE tab above within a day or two...
The Day 709 post is about HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TROY PALMER (next year, I won't be late with birthday wishes), and is associated with Tuesday January 11 2011.
P.S.
a confession: I am falling behind in posting as of Blake's Jan 11/Troy Palmer entry as I stalled off in writing this particular entry on the Follower blog - in the hopes that I could track Blake down for a little interview to discuss his admiration and respect for Mr. Palmer (prior to posting Bio info on the People page, as well)... however, on my end, I did not manage to get online at the appropriate times to text around with Blake -- MY BAD... Wrong choice in order of events... and I'm back on track, getting updated with bio info to follow...
