Headline News

And even though I read the most atrocious headlines on a daily business of gun violence, and people who are losing their lives to violence, enough to make me wonder if it is the beginning of the end of the world and that the world is spinning out of control. And is it Kali Yuga of the iron age descending. And I still for some reason find myself watching movies, such as Gangs of New York, that seems as if New York politics could be founded on gangs and corruption after watching it. And An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, that seems as if it wants to talk about the end of the world also from global warming and save the world. And Basquiat, that artist whose quote in that film “Everybody wants to get on the Van Gogh boat. There’s no trip to horrible that someone wont take it”, could seemingly be real, at least in that City of New York where it seems as if every other person is an artist of some sort. And in other thoughts, what about those elections. I have heard it said that if voting changed anything it would be illegal. What does that mean. And in other thoughts again, what about that Euro News channel, that is news in Europe. It seems a completely different news than American news for some reason. And what did that news article mean when it said “A person opened fire when another person did not respond at Checkpoint Charlie and that person lost his life to gun violence for no reason at all, except for the fact that guns have been invented. And what if that person did not understand what was being said. And guns are the worst invention ever. If only guns could be abolished from every human being on the face of planet earth and from all forms of media and advertising. Does not advertising influence society. Is another world possible. Where is the world headed. No one is free when others are oppressed. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

The Land Of Fake Food

And so I realized those fruits and vegetables that are to be found in the animal kingdom and on the food chain and in most any food store that is consumed by man and humanity cold be fake, And I realized this when I actually saw fruits and vegetables that were grown all natural, without the use of pesticides and anything else. And these vegetables and fruits were most often full of holes and eaten away by worms, spiders, caterpillars and other earthly beings that are to be found in the dirt of planet mother earth. And then I went to the market to look at these same fruits and vegetable. And even the organic fruits and vegetables. And these fruits and vegetables were pristine, shiny, waxed, spotless, flawless and blemish free. How is that possible? How is it possible to grow perfect blemish free fruits and vegetables without holes in them from the creature of planet mother earths dirt. Even the organic fruits and vegetables. And this gets me to wondering, how fake is the food. How real is the food that one eats, And what bug spray is one eating. And that does not even include the meat. And what would PETA, that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals group have to say about this. Help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

In Praise Of Street Artists

A friend of mine gave me this flyer of a poem titled “In Praise Of Street Artists”, by Kenneth P. Neilson. And that friend of mine was performing on the streets themselves when they received this poem. And so I thought this poem interesting to post, though I did not center it as it is centered on this flyer:

ART IS A NECESSITY, NOT A LUXURY

STREET ART

Use your senses
No need to buy
No contracts
No paid admission

See for free
Stop to talk
Or walk.

REMINDER

How can the Met forget
That Van Gogh didn’t “sell,”
Except one painting
To his brother.
if he’d been on the street,
He might have sold another

SH!

Inside the Met,
you marvel at the price.
To mention it, of course,
Is not considered nice.

CHAINED

Street art’s not chained
To auction block
Demanding bags of gold.
The wonder is that beauty
For so little can be sold.

ART IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY

Have a great poetry day.

Equinox


Hey bloggers, and yesterday must have been the equinox, that day of the year that has something to do with the seasons changing, the fall harvest and astrology or something. And I know yesterday must have been the equinox because an email from The Temple of Ara Mabon Celebration to honor the second harvest and the turning of the wheel that was to be found in that email inbox titled “Equinox Celebration in Central Park at 4:30 on Cherry Hill‏” said so. And what does that word equinox mean anyway. And I think that word equinox may mean equal night in another language or something, as I believe it has something to do with the day of the year where the amount of daylight hours are equal to the amount of night hours. That internet bible Wikipedia must have an entry for that word. And isn’t today the first official day of fall according to that Gregorian calendar, hence those fall winds and that latter half of the year approaching. And I thought to post that photo of that astrology guy above whose photo I have seen on the cover of that Secret Language of Birthdays book. And he seems as if he could be some magician passing to the other side, between life and death, heaven and earth or something. And that photo looks really cool. And the seasons are changing, and the times are changing. Have a great astrology, equinox, fall harvest day.

Immigration


And on this day is Sunday, that sabbath day of rest, or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blah blogging away for some reason on this blog. And for some reason that verse from the bible comes to mind, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head”. And that other verse, “A brother is born for adversity”. And a friend mentions to me that war is a business. Is war a business? And is it George Orwell’s statement from that nineteen eighty four movie, the war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. And another friends mentions that another friend has been denied entry to that country of the United States, or deported from a country for various reasons. And what does that word immigration mean, to migrate, to travel? Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for that. And I have heard horror stories of whole families being separated, destroyed and torn apart from this idea of Immigration And Naturalization Services, INS company that seems to be some form of modern day slavery to me. And what about those visas, green cards, forms, applications, petitions, employment, interviews, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, residence alien from outer space, illegal aliens, refugee, asylee, settlement, immigrant, nonimmigrant, genealogy, nationality, naturalization things. What does this all mean. Are we all not foreigners and strangers in this land. The whole idea that one can prevent another from travelling freely from one place to another on this planet of earth I can not comprehend. And has humanity become slave to computers, that modern invention of technology, to where one is no longer a human, but becomes a robot to technology, a machine, some sort of beast like thing. No one is free when others are oppressed. And so I thought to post a blog entry that I posted a while ago on this blog.:

The Passport

For what reason is the number of that passport immigration law that prohibits freedom of travel amongst humanity anywhere on planet earth, and that Section 666 Social Security Act, cashless society, national I.D., the number of your name to receive any state services and everything else in between thing, 666? Is this that save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast thing in the book of Revelations. Is this written in prophecy somewhere. Did George Orwell or Nostradamus predict this? Is that a coincidence or on purpose that this law has the same number of that beast thing. And who or what is the beast, and what is that mark on ones right hand or forehead. What does that mark represent or mean, if anything. And what’s up with that UPC bar code photo that I placed in this blog entry. And for what reason do all universal product codes contain this number. What the heck does that mean? Is that the number of the beast, the number of man? And what’s that New World Order, Verichip and RFID tag thing all about. Big Brother, Brave New World and technology are here and that’s a whole another blog posting. And I have heard so many green card immigration nightmare stories about green card marriages, lotteries and green card everything else in between. Of people leaving a country and not being able to return for whatever reason. And the stories of loss of life while crossing a border, whether by land or sea. And for what reason are there boarders, divisions, restrictions, barriers and territories of land in this world. And for what reason are people not free to travel anywhere in the world without the permission of someone else. Who invented this concept. Is it possible to undo this passport, visa, citizenship, where are your papers to come here law so that everyone can be free to travel anywhere in this world. For what reason does this concept exist. And who is a foreigner. Aren’t we all strangers in this land. Is another world possible. No one is free when others are oppressed. It is Sunday today, day of God, a day of rest. Or is that Saturday, the Sabbath, Sabado. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

The Weekend

Hey Bloggers, and it’s that weekend time again. I know because Friday is usually the end of the week as far as I know. And when that weekend makes its way around again, I sometimes find myself wondering what to do on the weekend as far as events go it that City of New York. And there is always that nonsense nyc event list from Jeff Stark that I have somehow found myself subscribing to. And that is a really cool list with lots of cool things to do each day of the week as far as events go. And I find myself posting events on this blog every so often because hey, it’s less writing sometimes. And one of those events that they have listed on their calendar for this week is as follows:

SEPTEMBER 21

Democracy in America Convergence Center

After traveling across the country to glean perspectives from artists and activists on the state of democracy, Creative Time’s year-long program Democracy in America: The National Campaign culminates in the Convergence Center: a major exhibition, participatory project space, and meeting hall mounted in New York City’s Park Avenue Armory just in time for election season. The Convergence Center at Park Avenue Armory will provide an activated space to both reflect on and perform democracy and will be punctuated by speeches by artists, community leaders, and cultural critics throughout the week. As one of the largest unobstructed spaces in New York, the non-traditional setting of the Armory features interiors—such as its vast drill hall and historic period rooms—that are ideal for artists presenting multifaceted visual and performing arts productions.

Artists include: Erick Beltrán, Center for Tactical Magic, Critical Art Ensemble, Annabel Daou, dB Foundation, Hasan Elahi, Feel Tank, Luca Frei, Chitra Ganesh and Mariam Ghani, Group Material, John Hawke, Sharon Hayes, Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, Incubate, Magdalena Jitrik, Matt Keegan, Jon Kessler, Olga Koumoundouros and Rodney McMillian, Steve Lambert, Ligorano/Reese, Pia Lindman, Rachel Mason, Carlos Motta, Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere, Trevor Paglen, Cornelia Parker, Jenny Polak, Steve Powers, Greta Pratt, Paul Ramírez Jonas, Red76, Duke Riley, Martha Rosler, Dread Scott, Allison Smith, Chris Sollars, Chris Stain, Mark Tribe, United Victorian Workers, Chu Yun, and more.

Speeches and performances by the Yes Men, Reverend Billy, Karen Finley, Steve Kurtz (of Critical Art Ensemble), Rachel Mason, Trever Paglen, Pia Lindman, Tanya Fields (of Sustainable South Bronx), Matthew Diaz (who released the names and serial numbers of Guantanamo detainees to the Center of Constitutional Rights), Camilo Mejía (an Iraq War veteran and major spokesman against the war), Brian Holmes, representatives from Working Artists and the Greater Economy, and others.

Have a great event day
