Obama's Secret Election Connection

Amber Lee Ettinger (The Obama Girl) #14 on mystrawhat.com's Top 75 Hottest Women of the New Everyday Media www.mystrawhat.com

She surely was huge for Obama during his first presidential campaign and I haven't been hearing pundits, late nite and the talking heads mentioning her lately so it must be a secret election weapon -because Obama's strategists can't be that dumb!?!...

    Wallace Fowlie the author of this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/162520.Rimbaud_and_Jim_Morrison gave me a copy and signed it (personalized it) in his home where an orginal Picaso lithograph of Rimbaud + others from like Joan Miro ...hung on his walls = yeah, he wrote something like "to John: Our friendship began here..." ... Only someone like him had the "authority" to turn Jim Morrison into a bonified poet instead of just neanderthal
    rockstar = just a few years before this book was published professor Susan Harris @ PSU teaching poetry 101 gave me an "F" on a paper instructed for interpreting a few lines of a poet on the grounds that Jim Morrison was a rockstar not a poet = so, yeah, after that "F" when this book was released I was like so confused not to mention feeling so misunderstood & wrongly graded. ..See More

Does Mike Wysocki have an exclusive contract with WDVE?

Since he only gets like 2 minutes on WDVE, I'd like to offer him to do 5 min vlogs for a new media outlet called theneweverydaymedia

I'll pay $50.00 per 5 min vlog w/ an agreement for at least 3. However, the *3 vlogs are to work in these themes:

1.       No Shoes Mike Wysocki – Wysocki goes about his everyday without wearing any shoes whatsoever and we get to see how far he gets. ..and how his day goes.

2.       Wysocki has a boiler-maker w/ the Cowboy Libertarian http://www.cowboylibertarian.com/ - either we get to see Wysocki actually having a shot & a beer w/ the Cowboy Libertarian or the attempts Wysocki executes to try and set-up a boiler-maker w/ the Cowboy Libertarian w/ Wysocki commentary.

3.       The Wysocki Social Experiment – Wysocki befriends and follows around five CMU students. He plays the role o f getting them wasted however just wasted enough to throw off inhibitions but not totally wasted to where they're like crying or violent or freaking out at all – just the state of happy creativity and either talking in a group setting or using social media like facebook to conduct conversation around architecture, physics, music, graphic design

 

*no expenses paid

He's Gone

one of those moments in one of those nights that makes me wish I were there - and, yeah, we don't need to document everything and we should live in the moment and appreciate our mind's eye & it's lovely memories - but I'm sure glad someone captured Tara Nevins from Donna the Buffalo doing He's Gone by the Grateful Dead w/ BK3 @ Toad's Place this lusty month of May = because it sure makes us smile. ..

Happy death-day Elvis = Rusted Root "Suspicious Minds"

I've always liked Suspicious Minds from Elvis since I was a kid - along with Heartbreak Hotel these were two of my favorites from "the King." Rusted Root does a real nice rendition of this song on Stereo Rodeo and live. .. Happy death-day Elvis. ..no one quite ate banana, bacon and PB&J sandwiches like you.

Ali Velshi to be replaced by Ashton Kutcher Tweets & clips: 2.5 anchors

Financially the past decade has been a mess.

 

Hope arrived,

 

deflated.

 

Talking heads positioning themselves

to capitalize on anxiety - the condition

of being unemployed without hope.

 

Can daddy retire now? Is daddy diversified

enough? .. .

 

But nothing is new under the sun.

You can't tell me anything different

I know the thing for people like me

- is to wait it out - so let's have fun

while being spoonfed financial NEWS

 

The other nite @ the Teen Choice Awards

Ashton Kutcher was giving money lessons

on how to stay out of debt & not be a slave

The next day CNN $money give him a deal

to replace Ali Velshi on American Morning

everyday with Tweets & clips & two women

= it's now called = 2.5 anchors

For his "pin heads and patriots" bit Billy O had a clip of Ashton Kutcher @ Teen Choice Awards. ..Billy O determined the new lead of 2.5 Men, Ashton, was a patriot for spouting this message: "hey, man, listen, listen, listen, I don't know how many of you people buy shit on credit cards - but, look, man, if you don't have the hard cold cash to pay it off don't go up with the shit house" . ..

Being herd into colleges and universities and getting a conventional degree or two continued by more spoonfed information flowing along "down by the old mainstream" doesn't make some one an intellectual.

How about being noted for outside reading in your classes? How about challenging professors? How about being a leader with your peer group? How about being well rounded enough to communicate with a variety a of people type?

And how about knowing people play for keeps - it's cut throat.

How about turning off the bickering on TV and throwing on some old vinyl?

Jeff Tweedy Thinks "Bon Jovi Ruined Music"

My love for Jeff Tweedy has been strong and now it's all-the-way confirmed = yes, someone thinking on the same strand of web in the cosmic web of life. ..

I like and relate to the lyrics, music, imagery and all Jeff Tweedy invokes on his albums and live performances. I don't feel that way about Jon Bon Jovi = no connection. And like Tweedy's saying, "I just don't even understand." ..

Happy Birthday To Me: New Hope

I was having a good sleep in my car
In the parking lot of the Showboat Casino Hotel
I said, "I remember you! You drive like a PTA mother."
You bought me draft beer, in a plastic cup.
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.

Happy, happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday to me, and to you.
Happy, happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday to me, and to you.

I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.

I said, "I remember you! I crashed your wedding.
With some orange crepe paper and some Halloween candy."
Sometimes I wish I were catholic --- I don't know why.
I guess I'm happy to see your face in a time like this.

Happy, happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday to me, and to you.
Happy, happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday to me, and to you.

Happy birthday baby, to me.
Happy birthday, to me.
Happy birthday, to me.
Happy birthday, to me.

Wilco-Alone (Alternative Version)

Pretty Girl

What a little gem. ..

And, yes, there are only 10 Songs on this album 12 Golden Country Greats = what a gem.

Since Elektra paid for Ween to record in Nashville with bonified studio players I wouldn't call it a parody album. .. I mean, Ween doesn't have a genre. .. so just like a NY Times article today in the Sunday edition Arts & Leisure section was making the cutting edge argument that today's pop doesn't really "pop" in terms of doing and, definitely not defining, anything new but it's a mix of the last few recent decades and different genres and styles from those 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. .. That's why bands like Ween and Rusted Root = who you will find at any current big music festival this summer and seemingly always on tour for the past 20 years (both from Pennsylvania and started around the same time) just keep on keeping on = they were never darlings of any one genre = and, in fact, frustrated the record executives who just wanted their one hit song from an album that clearly was branded as a formula to shift a certain number of units (yawn). .. So, there you have it this Sunday = Pretty Girl by Ween = ( i know this will make you smile and hum along). ..

Bandwagon

Nothing makes the raindrops
Sparkle like the sun
Quite like a band wagon
Once it's begun

Bandwagon,
It's right here in the song
Bandwagon,
Won't you sing along

Bandwagon,
It's not like I just made this up
Bandwagon,
Once it starts you can't get enough
(without it you'll never get along)

This ain't a one trick pony, it's gold
Ain't no politician - I'm just one of you
Better buy it too before it's all sold
Don't jump on it now - you're a fool 

Bandwagon,
It's right here in the song
Bandwagon,
Won't you sing along

Bandwagon,
It's not like I just made this up
Bandwagon,
Once it starts you can't get enough
(without it you'll never get along)
.... .... ....

Nothing makes the raindrops
Sparkle like the sun
Quite like a band wagon
Once it's begun

Subject: Riveting Voice of Local Sports = a "Pomp" Story

I had arranged for a golf foursome at Chartiers Country Club one summer's day.

This golf foursome consisted of the president of Bayer Corporation (the German, Dr. Attila Molnar), Bob Pompeani - riveting voice of local sports, Mike Speranzo - Mr. Small's, Drowning Clowns, Pro-Am Skater, and me -your everyday guy.

Some, including myself, may have thought this was a motley crew. I was a little nervous about how this would go and if I could pull off a good time.

Next thing you know, a couple holes in, Bob Pompeani and Dr. Attila Molnar, the German -president of Bayer Corporation, are talking smack on each other. ..Speranzo wastes no time joining in and Bob and Speranzo form this allegiance against the German and the two of them start chest bumping like they're Pittsburgh Steelers after a great play --- which, eventually, in a show of good sportsmanship, they kindly included Dr. Attila Molnar (the German) in after he would make a good shot.

The four of us had a blast.

And, for Speranzo and me - and, I believe the German too, a very cool highlight was Bob Pompeani lending his riveting voice of local sports to provide commentary on our shots - play by play like.

It was an awesome day I'll never forget.
