pictures of me . . . pics on CS . . . pics on Fcbk

yes. you might know yrs truly as Lars ROSENBLUM. that is the name on my birth certificate, after all. perhaps you know it as Lars ROSENBLUM SORGENFREI (my non-maiden name, one could say). but yrs truly likes to use Lars RO when playing music, writing poems, making art, etc. it has become a habit (you could say). am also occasionally referred to as zoz man or MC Flatfoot or parsnip.

SHANGHAI DONKEY MUFF IS IN THE HOUSE!!!

completed my undergraduate degree in political science at shying-short-of-ideal McGill University in gloriously idyllic Montréal, Quebec, Canada. of course, while there, yrs truly had to stir up a bit of a fuss. have since moved on to astrology/NOSC (non-ordinary states of consciousness)/Jungian dream analysis/psychoanalysis/philosophy/cosmology studies, taking a masters in philosophy, cosmology, & consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies. if these fields interest you too, please e-mail me. if you would like to read a paper of mine on Aurobindo & Nietzsche, GodConsciousness.com has been kind enough to put it online here.
also dabble in astrology, so if you want me to do a novice reading of yr chart for free, head for my astrology page. yrs truly can also do a more elaborate reading of yr chart for a sum of legal tender if you like, but stress my novice nature. :)

take a look at my resume.

yrs truly is a musician/poet/astrologer/activist/philosopher/naturalist/scholar/record label head/environmentalist/lover/writer/artist/filmmaker/ experimenter/promoter/photographer/snowboarder/amateur psychoanalyst/performance artist/etc.

as far as activism goes, my latest exploits have been partipating in Extinction Rebellion DK, co-founding FredsVagten Christiansborg (a.k.a. Peace Guard - a permanent anti-'war on terror' protest outside the Danish parliament), the Occupy movement, the mixed bag of my Iraqi refugee voyage from April-May of 2003, co-organizing The Jerusalem Hug (which has now absorbed the 5 MILLION PEACE MARCH) on Jerusalem - please spread the word!, and the disappointing World March for Peace and Nonviolence of 2009-2010.

in other news, yrs truly LOVES to have sex.

here's some of my pages on various websites near & far (if yr curious):

yrs truly loves to play the drums, bass, guitar, sing, and, most of all, tap on everything in sight. first played in a band called GARDEN PARTY. they became HAYWOOD after yrs truly left. then was in classic rock limbo with HER COUSIN, along with Jay BREITLING of TORGO fame (& initially of LAMPshADe; fame), and Scott MILSTEAD, who later drummed for LAMPshADe for a while before moving on to CARBON LEAF. then started up COMMUNAL GYM SHORTS - a band which was not meant to last past high school.

after my first year of university in 1992, yrs truly helped start up LAMPshADe;, my last serious band, which died in 1996 while its members roamed the earth. in addition to this, have played in CHRISTIAN CROTCH and the side-projects pa'vo' yi'JAH and SARSPARILLA & THE PONDEROSA PINES, as well as solo shows just as Lars RO. one short-lived project was THE LARS RO ORCHESTRA in Montréal with a FINE set of musicians.

upon arriving in Danmark in 1996, yrs truly started drumming & singing for (I DARE ONE OF YOU TO COME AND) FIGHT ME!, as well as singing & songwriting & playing guitar for sfu·ma·to. the former was relatively short-lived, while the latter became serious band number two, continuing in the SF Bay area for two years, before returning to København & finally going nomadic. was playing drums for a while for København's notorious lo-fi wonder, OBSTINATE ESTHER, and then for a spell in the math-rock duo THE QUADRATURE which has now been downsized to the solo project of Dan WYCKOFF. the latest of the bunch are NAVRATILOVA, a (very) free floating drum n' bass project, and a new covers band which is still nameless.

FAMILY:

as fate would have it, my marvellous mother, the unforgettable Eva BRINKMAR, died back in 1994. if this page is dedicated to anyone, it's her.

my Dad (David) & my step-mom (Pam) live in Villanova, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia).
my brother from 1982 (Zack) is living near & working in NYC.
my brother from 1974 (Travis) is now based in Florida, apparently done with customs & border enforcement.

my lovely wife from 23 May 1998 through 2003 was the marvellous Esther R.S., or Esther8. each of us walked a separate path, our paths met & became symbiotically intertwined, and then our paths diverged once more. que sera sera - undertegnede elsker dig Esther...

yrs truly has concocted the beginning of my family tree. or check out my cousin Vinca's family tree. click on 'view the family branch of Gudrun Brinkmar.'

the swank art gallery (GALLERI CHAUND PATTELA) has gone into remission, but yrs truly keeps my dreams intact of it reopening one day...
