Neon Listen

The music glistened with the debt of freshly paved streets lined with tall palm trees
and hung commercials above the Blvd that if you took all the way West you'd run onto a beach
that meets the Pacific Ocean for some drinks looking at it all behind some really clear glass windows where no one's on the otherside to throw stones but maybe rob you and leave you at the water's edge for dead.
However, the songs of Venice Beach written by rooftop stars are the real jewels of the city of lights ...
Count on those cinematographers and post people to make it sexy for ya if you happen not to make it there: being-there for yourself to see and capture in the seized moments of your own eyes,
unfiltered by a camera lens –

Alchemist’s Daughter

Alchemist’s Daughter: Princess Smiling Faces

“I don’t know. She was always trying to like dissect the elements

That made her up and rearrange them to turn her into someone –

Lets say someone with an ending process of chromosomes that nobody’s

Ever seen before. I mean, it wasn’t like she tried to shit gold but maybe silver.

But yet again she was never a traitor of her own spirit – she was a champion.

I was jealous of her. But I had no intent to kill her or see her killed or harmed.”

Almost all of us wish we were a little younger than who we are --- DNA defiant
A paradox is revealed in that the ultimate price for youth is often death. Choose.
So stay in that Ying & Yang and walk that fine line of it so you don't catch cancer.
And God Bless You and "may the force be with you" if you do. Prayers. Meditation.
Love, like a friend from Millvale, Penna. says, "let's hate cancer with all of our hate."

President Obama & Gov Mitt Romney: OK Election 2012, here’s what I want & need ...

OK Election 2012, here’s what I want & need as an undecided voter who’s concerned with the following practical issue(s) that need properly prioritized and managed not just for the next four years but for many more down the line.

I was lucky enough to grow-up in a household where there were plenty of resources to go around = However, this was not to say that it was “some big giant party.” Ha! My Italian grandmother who lived with us sat over every bill that was sent with the groceries from our Italian Grocer “Mikey” who she fully trusted but that was just how things were done. Her thinking, “Did I order this? Did I pay for this. Do we need this? Did we pay for this.”
When it was time to tighten-the-belt my attorney & businessman father certainly would let us know and it was either work as a team to tighten-the-belt or “get the belt.” This was serious stuff.

Notwithstanding, this is serious stuff here we face this Nov 2012.
What I’m looking for is someone to cut the B.S. and realize for our U.S. A., for our nation, “we need to tighten-the-belt or get-the-belt yet with the careful understanding of what’s “that fat” and what’s the real human services, educational, defense & cultural edification needed to not only survive as a nation but thrive as a nation.”
Can I get an AMEN brothers & sisters?!
Suggested Reading: a). The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers: Economic Change and Military Conflict From 1500 to 2000, by Paul Kennedy b). Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytic Meaning of. History by Norman O. Brown c). The Second Treatise of Civil Government 1690. John Locke d). 1776, the Declaration of Independence by T.J. e). THE SOCIAL CONTRACT. OR PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL RIGHT. by Jean Jacques Rousseau. 1762
Sure, you may not be required to read these books for your instruction at Uni, however, it would be in everybody's best interest if you did (including your own, of course). .. My father always told me that "outside the classroom reading is mandatory for your higher education." --- I’m no teacher but I thought these books were a prerequisite for modern day life. hahaha!

OK, Mitt sure showed true gritt and like John Wayne he really dug in and gave it to' em. It was as close to American cowboy executive as any Utah Mormon could dream of. ..
 
However, don't drink O'Reilly's cool-aide yet and put down Eric's "special" celebratory cigars (he scored from Beckel).
 
This is only Round 1
 
And, President Obama is a little too smart and savvy for us to stop-the-fight with a #win!
 
My theory is he has taken a page from a muslim brother named Muhammad Ali called *Rope-a-Dope. Yeah, no! I'm NOT talking about the days of Obama (Barry) in Hawaii when he was leader of the **Choom-Gang. I'm speaking of a man who was most likely just laying low on the ropes of a heavy weight fight letting his opponent give'em his best shots so he could see what he got to throw at him, take the beating, tire the opponent out and then really go on the attack.

Why Are the Freemasons Collecting Our Children's DNA? _ from the Huffington Post

 
 
 
You know them as MasoniChip, or perhaps you've been led to believe it was a state and provincial endeavor intended to protect your little ones. They set up fairs, forge partnerships with law enforcement and even strive to distribute their services through North American public school systems. In Massachusetts this Freemason program was promoted by CBS News from the steps of the official State House and included their police dog, coincidentally named Mason. Reporters only failed to mention the private nod to those promoting him or that government had little to do with it.

Monkey Socialization: UC Berkeley Breakthrough

Monkey Socialization
At the University of Berkeley, they took a dozen or so of monkey families and had them live in one environment (neighborhood if you will).
One monkey, called Jeem, that had grown-up with Alpha parents that were the obvious leaders of another monkey community was relied upon to teach these other monkeys how to wash their fruit in natural running water before eating. Sure enough, all the monkeys soon followed with the fruit that was given to them all. It became the norm (the standard).
A forward thinking professor at Berkeley then implemented his partly trendy idea that centered around teaching monkeys to smoke – as it is cute and popular with the public and would help in raising grant money from the old money planted in tobacco interests. This experiment would also focus around social behavior.
All the monkeys were given cheap packs of cigarettes to smoke. It was normal for them to sit out in front of their sleeping habitats and smoke these cigarettes and chatter.  Jeem was given a pouch of tobacco that was an organically grown and was taught to roll his own cigarettes independent of the standard monkey order and outside of its environment. He was then let back into the environment each day with two to three of these hand rolled organic tobacco cigarettes.
The chatter became outrageous and almost crazed from the other monkeys as Jeem continued to smoke his hand rolled organic tobacco cigarettes and the others continued to only know about their cheap pack of cigarettes. The other monkeys became obsessed with Jeem. And each time Jeem lit up his hand rolled organic tobacco cigarettes they chattered and chattered – hoping squeaky wheel would get the grease and something would alter Jeem's behavior – for what they didn't even know.
Later Jeem was given the same organic tobacco but in a pack. And the others learned to shut up and the whole thing just went away --- Except the fact that it was all recorded and documented and made for an interesting grant on monkey socialization and behavior. The president even read about it.

The Doors - GLORIA - (dirty version); Kim Kardashian Vs. Jim Morrison: (People Who Think They're Better) ...



The only thing I do NOT LIKE about the DOORS is that it seems like they perceive themselves as like they are better than EVERYBODY ELSE = like they are intellectually built superior to even the most elite academics (and elite gossipers who can wreck a person's image as equally as the DOJ). But if we were to consult a Harvard School of Buisness professor about the long term global impact on pop consciousness and bottom line long term $helf life of Kim Kardashian (the most famous and dangerous person in America right now) and Jim Morrison (dead @ 27 in 1971) = the better bet is probably with

He stood in the kitchen prepping for an omelet featuring hot peppers (given to him by the singer songwriter from Trout Swimming or Blind Man's Holiday -one of those upper state NY bands- now turned organic table farmer) from  the local farmer's market; garden tomatoes; left over grilled pork loin. As he did the prep work - pulling out the skillet and extra virgin Italian olive oil from Jimmy Sunseri's he started the pee pee dance. "Oh no I really gotta go." He raced down the cellar stairs in the 1920's style bathroom with the toilet against the wall he relieved himself and bars of Ode to Joy sounded in his head. Then, about five minutes later while continuing to cook his breakfast = "it" really started to burn.
 
As a simple twist of fate though, eating the hot peppers in the omelete did not seem hot at all.

With the right Hollywood savvy, cool, experienced Exec we're working on a documentary film that's about more than half way complete that will tell a nice solid story to help explain How this Happened (and some other good stuff things w/ the Rusted Root of Pittsburgh) --- And, well, can happen for you too. .. (We even have Julia Allison of Bravo's "big hit" new show Miss Advised and a bunch of pop culture relevant other people on film for you = And, we have diagrams, pie charts and statistic graphs = all kinds of good stuff to help to a nice little nonchalant story to make you happy). It's gonna be real professional but hopefully not too professional and serious that it's no fun and too Linked-In.

Stunning & Cool DC HomeFront + Edgeworth Police Dept. BackHome

I find this DC home front near Dupont Circle stunning & cool - although the statues ontop of the pillars are a bit ostentatious. At this time, let me give a shout-out to Edgeworth Police Dept. I never FB while away as a golden rule however I'm confident back home the Edgeworth Police Dept is doing a great job = Me having called them before leaving saying "you have our key, you know our Guardian passcode, these our the lights we're leaving on, here's my cell, no one's to be in the house."
