The New York Times Sunday edition during football season. ..

One of the great things about The New York Times Sunday edition during football season is that you can read it while the Steelers lose in the fashion they did to the Houston Texans (or Baltimore) and yet you don't feel completely depleted, dejected, devastated - there's a "fortune inside your head" filled with all these interesting things. ..

Sunday there was a nice little piece about a new Documentary on FishBone called Everyday Sunshine which is narrated by Laurence Fishburne (FishBone & Fishburne. .. Coincidence????) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChXk4R0mGNw

My father's friend, Ted Windt, who was professor emeritus of political rhetoric and a former chair of Pitt's Department of Communication = I wonder what he would think of today's presidential times & rhetoric needed, useful & what we really would remember about them via history???

So many Saturday afternoons were spent with me as a teenager listening to professor Windt and my father talk while th...ey grilled steaks (@ our indoor grilling station) worked, had cocktails and wine. .. And Ted was there for some functions too. .. (He encouraged my poetry confirming for my father that I was a poet . .. They opened doors for me that I refused to walk through though because I wanted to do it on my own like an A*$).

Obituary: Ted Windt / Pitt professor, expert on presidential rhetoric

Tuesday, October 14, 2003

Ted Windt, a University of Pittsburgh scholar who dazzled generations of students with his passion for politics and language, died yesterday.

Mr. Windt, 67, was an expert on political rhetoric and the author or editor of numerous books and articles on the subject.

 

He had such a keen, incisive mind; his opinions were expressed with such clarity but never with harshness," Wecht said. "It was truly a great intellectual pleasure to get together with him. He would dissect issues like a scalpel."

 

Beyond politics, Mr. Windt was an avid sports fan and a collector of 20th century American literature, with a particular interest in the works of members of the Beat Generation, such as Jack Kerouac.

NEW: WILCO - "Born Alone"

NEW. Wilco. BORN ALONE song from The Whole Love.

COOL = this video is reminiscent of videos on MTV when MTV was a platform - a vehicle, if you will - which provided aid in the form of video as a new medium to allow the artists added extensions of expression for their songs. ..

And, well, which was also used to SELL MORE RECORDS through TV (music television). ..

UNLIKE what MTV is now = a giant commercial for the facade of some kind of (cheesy) rock-stardom.

Favorite High School Teacher

This question was posed to the viewers by WorldNewsNow @ 4amish after Red Eye (which had the lovely Diana Falzone on as a guest and Bill Schulz showing us the schwag from FashionWeek). .. It's nice that some shows and media personalities figured out that including their audience (who they rely to tune in) can really add to the conversation (on many levels). ..(For the hottest women in the New everyday Media I gauge by how dynamic and engaging the personality is w/ in the New everyday Media -as well as attractiveness). ..

Subject: Favorite High School Teacher

One of my teachers in high school kept in touch w/ me through my family when I was in university and whenever I was published for poetry he invited me to read a collection of my poems for his classes. So I did. I put together a collection and read for all of his classes that day. It was cool.

Levi's and Adversity

Come here old friend adversity
I just don't wanna rely on you
Cause I'll ride you 'til the end
Again, bring out the best of me
Make me finally feel there's light
Through black skies and storms
Sometimes I need you for normal
Back to the basics - not so groomed
But knowing who I am in worn Levis

One of the good things the doctor said was it was a "clean break." He sat while others may be watching local NEWS, fixing dinner, driving to some practice or watching "the Five" w/ Greg Gutfeld of Red Eye - he sat and watched life go by - surprising it goes so fast - --faster than the Kentucky bourbon whiskey in his heavy Ralph Lauren glass.

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

I been staring @ my hands
Walking city streets alone
Take a stand w/ someone to hold
To create memories in a home

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

Seal it with a kiss
I don't even have to be awake
Kiss me on my forehead
So my heart it won't ache
(Oh, it feels like it's gonna break)

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

I'll never take you for granted
I'll never go beyond the line
My heart it feels so haunted
I guess I'm just that kind of guy

Hold me tonight
I'm holding you
It feels so right
I always knew

I just want to tell you to tell me - you love me

    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

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
