oh what strange webs we weave
so awhile back i wrote a blog about a distant relative named terrence macsweeny or mcsweenie or macsweenie (i think is actually right)
for those who didnt read that blog post ill recap it quickly here terrence was i believe a great great uncle or 3rd cousin 4th removed or whatever im not sure how it all works out
but he was like the mayor of cork in ireland around the 1920s he wrote the book on freedom called principles of freedom that inspired ghandi and mau tze tung and others but was jailed as a revolutionary and there went on the longest hunger strike in irelands history and died after 76 days without food. his funeral was bhigger then jfks and maybe even marleys and jah rastafaris..
anyway thats just the recap from the old blog post wich is only relevant to this 1 o]in a way
just now i was tracked down on facebook by someone who found me onyoutube
by seeing a comment i posted on a video about terrenmce macswenie
aparently hes my cousin too i never knew hesz an actor from england but living in nyc (2 hour drive from me)
hes always wanted to go to a gathering but never has yet hes attending juiliard but travels the world alot hes filming in south africa then india so cant make this gathering,,
he said hes never seen dreadlocks like mine so healthy and unfuckedwith (his exact words) so we got to talking dreads and wax and stuff
its just wild meeting family you never knew you had because of random coincidences and online web weaving
think hes even into reggae
we've been talking an hour or 2 now and its amazing how much we agree on things and how simular we are in our thinking
Wow, that's amazing. It's even more amazing that you two seem to have so much in common despite not growing up together or talking with one another before
