i predict will be divorced in 2 yrs of marriage

gee, when i look back on this email and others i was sending at this time (on the BP big oil "spill" and the games = and, well, D.C. culture) and then, at the time, actually being in D.C. at the Georgetown Ritz Carlton for a week and hanging out around there, I feel I had "an epiphany" of some sorts (and I guess D.C. did too = "the unexplained resignation" of whom I'm talking about = Peter Orszag and his GMA fiancee) = And, well, I almost felt like "I took a little of D.C. back w/ me to Pittsburgh" (which, i seem to have lost already, probably for the good! i guess. especially in some current political circles of the day = according to polls and preliminary elections :) ...

The Magnify Glass: (a short story – short independent film)

The Magnify Glass

(a short story – short independent film)

Peter didn't read much at all – he disliked books and didn't pay much attention to that type of culture or really any culture at all unless it was liked by mainstream approval from his Carny-esque parents who would try and hock whatever wherever because they had that effect on people.

Peter, or Dick, as his back slapping buddy system buddies luvingly called him also was well liked by people because, again, he didn't do reading let alone "the outside the classroom reading" that makes you truly more of a scholar of academics and, well, life. Peter pretty much believed whatever gossip was being peddled by his friends, family relatives – whoever paid attention to him and found they could take advantage of his blank slate, wet dish towel demeanor.

"Hey, Dick, take this magnify glass and burn that big black ant for me, honey" his mother requested. In which he did without even thinking.

Emery Wallace on the other hand, his mother who was very cultured and well educated, fair and just, would never make such a request in the first place. And, then again, Emery Wallace, was blessed by reading and thinking and developed high powered analytical skills which, sometimes to his detriment by the standards of the mainstream popularity entertainment/gossip machine goes, and almost intuitively would know the ethical consequences of misusing the magnify glass --- heat from the Sun would refract within the glass and cause extreme intense heat which would instantly fry any ant.

Moments of thought … Important here. And, well, if you don't think and just, basically blindly listen and do the consequences can have a devastating unfair and unjust result. You play God. Emery Wallace a devout Catholic from a devout Catholic background believed in God and Jesus Christ. He knew the judge.

When he picked up a magnify glass, as a child, and saw the ants on his big patio filled with concrete, trees, annual flowers and bushes and perennial flowers and bushes with bushy roots, on a blue sky day with white fluffy clouds above him, it never even crossed his mind to victimize an ant. He studies his ancient coins from his lineage instead.

OK, both Kate Bolduan and Alisyn Camerota are SO TOTALLY SMOKING RED HOT for a Saturday = a++++++++

In fact if SO TOTALLY SMOKING RED HOT for a Saturday = a++++++++ were a new Volvo cross country wagon (that's pretty smart) I'd enjoy getting inside and going for a ride everyday ...

But, hey, today they do BOTH look so HOT that I gotta FLIP BACK and FORTH so, you know what? = other factors come into play ...


Alisyn Camerota in green inbetween Dave & Clayton NOT from today though


Kate Bolduan 2010 in blue w/ John Roberts and NOT from today though

On one hand, there's Dave Briggs who is spewing intolerant rehtoric (like a catastrophic oil spill) this morn wanting to throw Kristen McMenamy and Steven Meisel in jail for the recent Italian Vogue shoot.

And, then there's T.J. who is ... well, cool and cutting edge with his thinking and honesty.

Now we come to Clayton. Gee, he seems like the type that instead of hanging out and seeking approval from the crowd he's on his laptop or iphone and, God forbid, he may read instead of watching sports - he's intelligent and sensitive. I don't know - he's different!

OK, B.P., U.S. Gov't and Media, ... before going and touting "good news" about the Gulf "oil spill" / DISASTER well, maybe it's not time to turn off the lights on this story and move on to more sensational softer safe stories?!?! ... Let us not forget that from the get-go 11 people died on this rig because of a gross negligence and recklessness and, yeah, and then major ripple effects on the local economies, ecosystems and, in general, ethics.

Aug 3rd 2010 100 and some days after this DISASTER you're trying to tout some kind of milestone and gain ? ... But what about all the loss that has happened from the get-go and continued to "spill on" ? ... loss of life = ranging from humans to aquatic (mammals, reptiles, amphibians) and even, well, blades of grass (important grass that acts as feeding grounds and, yeah, a natural barrier from the sea = kind of important in this fragile ecosystem of sea, wetlands, rivers and such that protects this special Gulf region)... loss of jobs, monies and abandoned pets = a way of life for summer 2010 and maybe more to come ...

Thank you for all your support - those who have supported me with compliments, flattery and encouragement - those who have followed me in admiration or to mock me (at least to mock me you read me a bit and viewed my posts and gossiped about me).

However I am now fueled by challanges and triumphs everyday that revolve around my real job as director of business development which I am thankful and grateful for = and truly love = and truly love what it's all about.

I am a busy man. My grandmother Rose (both were Roses) always said "the devil makes work for idle hands."

Therefore I will no longer be posting or writing in emails to media outlets.

The mystrawhat.com project and The New Everyday Media projects have been fun and I think there was a lot of good there (even if misunderstood by some).

I may post on FaceBook here and there but that will be more or less to say "hello" to friends.

Thanks again.

So why not create something new for people of the gulf who deserve it --- those 30 thousand oil rigs in the gulf can easily be converted into platforms for wind energy ... Gee, that will also create new jobs (a ton) and new money into our economy and the world economy --- negating big oil and its relentless creation of a giant relentless culture dependent upon the delusional need for oil. I was lucky enough to be part of the soaring nineties and not only its refreshing cultural revolution but also an amazingly refreshing economic boom ... The Internet model. Providing platforms to deliver information and goods and services and content to people around the world from your basement. An unbelievable sensation ... A whole new industry and world and limitless opportunity and break from the old dinosaur ways of big business --- "Big Blue" --- big blue chips. And like a cranky old man dictator(s) all of a sudden the Internet model wasn't a real model and all of the hundreds of millions of dollars being exchanged over ideas and contracts written on napkins was once again redirected to more "concrete" business models like "Housing" and "Banking" and lending and that whole cycle --- like a delusional addiction to oil.

My Top 5 Civic Arena/Mellon Arena Memories in Pittsburgh: The Pens Last Regular Series Game at the Civic Arena/Mellon Arena

1).
Watching the reunion tour of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin March 25, 1995 with Pittsburgh's own Rusted Root (winning the coveted opening slot for several dates) from the Mario Lemieux and a family friend's box I gratefully scored --- watching on with my now wife (who I had gone on a handful of dates at the time) and some friends of ours --- Hearing Robert Plant tell us that he's been on tour with a lot of bands in his time and being on tour with Rusted Root for this time made him feel compelled to tell us just how lucky Pittsburgh is to have them.



2).

All the wonderful moments watching Mario Lemieux on the ice including his 600th goal and an amazing game where the Pens where down by two goals with a little more than one minute left on the clock and Luc Robitaille and Mario tied the game and won in overtime (my girl and friend "Fat Tuesday" wanted to leave but I convinced them to stay because I had a feeling).

3).

Sydney Crosby

4).

Attending the first Fresh Fest featuring RUN DMC, Whodini, Kurtis Blow and the Fat Boys in 1984 as one of the only 14 year old white boys in or out of the Civic Arena

5).

As an eleven and twelve year old sitting at the glass (pounding on the glass) of the Civic Arena wathcing Paul Baxter, Pat Price, Randy Carlyle, Mike Bullard, George Ferguson and Pierre LaRouche - and then "sneaking" down stairs and hanging out outside the locker room after the game with a good friend of the family (close to the Pittsburgh Penguins) looking on ... (and in the summers being taught by some of these guys at the Ken Schinkle School of Hockey - where Pat Price gave me a lot of one-on-one time I'll never forget).

Christmas Barrette

Christmas barrette on a pretty fine girl
I was thinking about something I'd probably regret
Everyday weaving the holiday season tapestry
Living the scene we were lit up like a Christmas Tree
Everybody gathering to be seen to see the music at the next show
No matter where you came from or where tomorrow grows
We cross many roads and rivers - going under bended bare trees -
There's snow in the December air not just in the eastern seaboard
But where there's magic you can feel it in the air from the backstage
Musicians to the guys at the door - carrying equipment together -
Drinking a ton of free beer on the house like the night before -
Did you have a chance to see him in the living area upstairs at a
Naked and bruised piano he could easily handle out of tune -
What a star on the Christmas Tree - it looks like him, you & me
Just like the day before New Year's Eve in Chicago along the shore
Looking at the city --- Yeah, all have traveled to get here for the show
Through the magic in the air down hills and roads and under a canopy of
Bare winter trees -passed corners and open fields and tall buildings where
There's always writing on the wall - graffiti and all - we make the magic a
Few people share and see in a girl at a show with a Christmas barrette in her hair

- LIVE IN 1967 - "GET OFF MY CLOUD"

THE ROLLING STONES - LIVE IN 1967 - GET OFF MY CLOUD GET OFF MY CLOUD

one pay check away

prelude: what kind of music sells most in difficult economic times? i bet it was country maybe now rap music now - well they're both angry and like to bitch and really don't celebrate life like they used to when they recorded on front porches ---- (i keep myself busy so i have to find time to sit on the front or back porch and just pick away) --- anywway, here's an idea i had while driving through Sewickley Heights wondering what kinda song would sell today if i was just honest and true


one pay check away
i wish i were in Kentucky bluegrass
chasing my little momma instead
of working my weary bones on this shift
but hey i'm grateful to be a working man
so you won't hear me bitch the blues again

one pay check away
and China will own our asses
that's what i'm told everyday
in the new everyday media
where a vote for Palin likely means
you got that ring around your back
pocket of your Levis - yeah, some
of them in this world so watch yourself

one pay check away
i watch my dreams fade away
one by one like my hair turning gray
one by one i think it all over - "it's
on the rocks today -yeah, Maker's"
i drink it down like the money i make

one pay check away
i'll own my new Ford F150
and it's another day i can kick ass
i'm tired of you putting me down
so i won't let my name down
not anymore i am one paycheck away
from a new tomorrow where i don't borrow

one paycheck away
from the the USA staying a super power
with more baseball diamonds and books
that don't deny there are people who die
and there are people who plan and do kill
that's a fact and if i don't have to borrow
then i ain't bowing down or sayin' sorry

be my everyday

be my everyday

It's all a guess a gamble for so¤me change -
I see the best and brightest they live to be free
And those monster trees that grow
- are apples to apples
if they all go away we won't be able to breathe
For tommorrow never knows
Yeah, tomorrow never knows (3x)
REM is the way we all need to dream
but when it was automatic for the people
it made me want to scream
U 2 did it for a while
then they also found out too late
while they weren't at the guard
even music became all about hate
So best of the roses
Best of the roses (2x)
Everyday at 5 come hear me sing
I'll be singing tonite at the VFW
w/ my new band Random Photo
yeah we'll be taking photos of songs
that celebrate your life -
right or wrong black or gay -
we'll be singing songs about your life
Every day, babe, everyday
You're my everyday, babe
Be my everyday............
