Hey bloggers, and this is yet another one of those emails that was sent to me from someone who was sent to them from someone who was sent to them from someone and so on and so on and so on. And this email happens to be titled “Your Dirty Mind”. And I thought this email to be interesting to post those photos on this blog. And those photos above seem to be an illusion indeed. Have a great illusionary day.
The 1st of the Month
Hey bloggers, and one this day is Sunday in that country of America at the moment. That day of rest, or is that Saturday the sabbath. And yet I find myself blah blogging away on this blog again. And on this day is also the first of the month again. I know because that Gregorian calendar and clock in the lower right hand corner of this computer says so, today is Sunday, February o1, 2009. And some days are behind us. And with those first of the months sometimes comes those first of the month how am I going to pay my monthly bills stories. And with that economy thing being in the news a lot lately, I imagine more and more of these month to month, paycheck to paycheck, how am I gonna pay my monthly bills stories taking place around that country of America. And it is a new moon, a new month, the beginning of a new moon and the beginning of a new month that waxes and wanes in its cycles of its month. And it is that order of the universe thing again, that yin yang thing. Every action has a reaction. And it is change. And the only thing constant is change. Have a great 1st of the month day.
That NYC MTA
Hey Bloggers, and this is one of those posts that I have been meaning to blah blog about for some time now as I think I have already blaghed about this on this blog some time a while ago. And I have been meaning to blah blog about this topic so much that I can not even find those blogger scribbles that I even wanted to blagh scribble on this blog. And this blog posting happens to be about a New York Press newspaper article is this weeks paper titled “Copping an Attitude”. That article is about NYC polizei searching bags in the subway system. And their quote “We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland” that was spoken by Adolf Hitler and his Gestapo is even more interesting to me. And I find that interesting that someone besides me as one blogger blah blogs about the fact that the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority, or is that the New York City Metropolitan Terrorize its riders going their way Association”, has been terrorizing its riders with those “May I check and inspect your bag searches” and “NYPD backpack containers subject to inspection” for quite some time now. And that does not even include that “If you see a suspicious package say something campaign of prerecorded advertising programming messages for people going their way. And who exactly are the terrorists here? And it seems as if people are losing their civil liberties at the speed of light in the name of security. And for what reason can not NYC MTA transit officers be banished as part of that New York City Subway system. And for what reason can not that Transit Adjudication Bureau court place for non payment of fare just disappear and the subway fare be free for everyone. No one is free while others are oppressed. Where is the world headed. Is another world possible. And whatever happened to that NoSubwaySearches.org group. Are they still around? Does their website still exist? And it is a pain to see countless subway riders being harasses and intimidated on a daily basis by this NYC MTA company in the name of security and safety. Is this all part of some scene out of George Orwells 1984 novel. And who is Big Brother anyway? And what would the American Civil Liberties Union have to say about this. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
Sounds Like Brooklyn
And that BAM Sounds Like Brooklyn Festival must be happening soon. I know because those updates on my MySpace page that I just noticed some time a while ago says so. And judging by the title of that headline, I gather that festival must be somewhere in Brooklyn in that city of New York. And according to their website, it is. As that MySpace update says that Baye Kouyate is playing at the jazz club, or club Zebulon in Brooklyn as part of this BAM Festival. And that 2009 Festival February 6 through the 14th is 100 and more bands and shows, 13 venues and two weeks. And sure enough that BAM Sounds Like Brooklyn Festival website says more people are playing as part of this festival with participating artists that include Analogue Transit, Beirut, Kaki King, ava luna, The Harlem Shakes, Jon Bibbs, Rose Ellen, Scary Mansion, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Superhuman Happiness, Tracy Bonham and more. And those artists are playing at those venues throughout Brooklyn at Solomon’s Porch, Sputnik, Goodbye Blue Monday, Monkey Town, Bodega, Union Hall, Southpaw, Pete’s Candy Store and more. And this festival rocks. Have a great music festival day.
Pension
Pension. Hey bloggers, what’s a pension? I overheard two people discussing this word the other day and it had something to do with the context or work, retiring from work, working ones whole life away for some company, more work and beyond. And what does this word mean. Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry and a definition for this word. Can this word be dissected, picked apart and translated to mean something in another language. And for what reason does one work their whole life away for this thing called a pension. Is that what it means to retire at that age of 65 is it and to serve faithfully and dutifully to that organization, never to leave that job so one can get paid when they stop working there. Is that what this allegiance to ones work place is all about. Is there a hidden meaning behind this word What’s that word all about.
An Outsider Art Fair
And that Outsider Art Fair must have happened last week or so. I know because this copy of the Village Voice that has been sitting around for some time says so. And that Outsider Art Fair seems to happen every year around this time in that month of January in that city of New York at that Puck Building on Houston Street. And what’s outsider art anyway? Art that’s on the outside. And the outside of what? And it seems to have something to do with those phrases like self taught, art brut, art of the insane, mental health, visionary and folk art. Art from the margins of society, people who are out there art, maybe.. And it seems as if outsider art in, the newest trend, maybe. And I know this Outsider Art Fair must happen ever year because I think I can remember blah blogging about it on this blog last year. And I think this Outsider Art Fair is part of that Outsider Art scene with galleries like Galarie Etienne, Ames Gallery, Henry Boxer Gallery, Phyllis Kind Gallery, Ricco Maresca, Carl Hammer, Maxwell Projects, Marion Harris, American Primitive Gallery, Gilley’s Gallery, Andrew Edlin Gallery, Luise Ross Gallery, Cavin Morris Gallery and artists like Gramdma Moses, Howard Finster, Terry Turrell, Bill Traylor, Adolf Wolfli, Frank Calloway, Henry Darger and more. And that art fair rocks. Have a great art day.

An Inauguration
Hey Bloggers, it is Sunday again on this day of the week according to that Gregorian Calendar. And yet I find myself blogging away on this computer and blog again for some reason. And it seems as if the world could be falling down all around me and yet I still find myself blahging for some reason. And this posting actually has nothing to do with the inauguration, except to say that that presidential inauguration with Barack Obama is going on this day and this week at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and beyond. And it seems to be a world occurrence indeed, some day in history that has never been seen before where change has come. And what’s an inauguration anyway? Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for that? And in other thoughts in web 2.0 social media user generated content land, my MySpace addiction is going on again. Yet is has yet to be replaced with that Facebook social media websiteaholicness where it seems as if everyone is migrating and has migrated to. And for what reason do people sometimes confuse these two websites as MyFace? And it could be that internet addiction thing as a whole gong on again, where one does not eat, sleep or drink, and could sometimes forget they have a family or friends if it wasn’t for someone telling them, maybe. And I have heard of those internetaholic stories that seem to suck whole civilizations into an internet webland black whole. Should someone start an internet and myspaceaholics anonymous group for all or does this group already exist. And what are the symptoms of MySpace and internet withdrawal. Are there any? And I admire someone who can actually say the words “I do not have a computer”. Wow! And whole families seems to disappear, whole decades seem to disappear with the invention of web 2.0, social media and the internet. Have a great internet day.
A Discount
With this economy thing being in the news a lot lately with what seems as if the stock market is going out of business and having one of those everything must go sales, times seems as if they are hard and getting even harder. So much that one would want to consider a discount coupon for just about everything that one would want to buy. And you can find discounts and coupons at Ebates. You can find lots and lots of coupons from many different brand names stores at their website. And there is a $10 gift card when you join for free. With times like these, Ebates can be a great way to find discounts for that item you are looking for.
Avenue A
Hey Bloggers, is today a holiday. This postings seems as if it wants to be about the economy and eco money, maybe. And I have found myself on that Avenue A bus that runs to and from those streets throughout that city of New York on avenue and and crosstown on 14th street. And Avenue as goes through that seemingly trendy and main drag of this seemingly historical alternative counter culture and other things it could e and represent neighborhood now called the East Village for real estate marketing purposes I guess, as I believe this neighbor hod was once called Loisiada. And So I found myself on this Avenue A bus again going riding through this neighborhood every so often and I noticed what seems like half of its stores and businesses are closed, shuttered, though not boarded up as of yet. And I have noticed this closing of stores going out of business more and more seemingly just in recent weeks of what seems like it is a neighborhood going out of business. And so I asked the lady sitting next to em “Is it a holiday today?”. “No”, she said. “As a matter of fact, lots of stores between 14th and 13th on 1st Avenue are closed. The bagel shop is gone, and its that all of these businesses rents are being doubled. If a landlord is charging six thousand and can charge twelve thousand, he will”. And so I wonder, is this all a part of that gentrification genocide thing that has overcome that city of New York this past decade. Or is this a sign to come of the ripple effect of that mortgage meltdown and impending recession depression, uncle Scam, I mean Sam going out of business and having one of those everything must go sales and the national debt, bailout the bailouts and the federal reserve and treasury can not print up enough money fast enough to cover it all. It this that mortgage meltdown that is finally making its way toward New York. Is this a sign of the national economy going out of business that has affected the rest of the nation and the world with its Wall Street Stock Market exchange. And it is an eerie thing to look at. And it is not a burned out war zone ghost town from the Twilight Zone where everyone finds themselves standing in the soup lines as of yet. And these vacant stores has me wondering.
