Maybe the over saturation of a  film like 2012 and other end times stuff helped to short circuit the Doom Market machine for long enough to sink in to more folks that the " End O' The World " has been marketed to them for most of their lives and I'm talking OUTSIDE the realm of Christianity's Book of Revelation. I'm talking the realm of the same type of "priesthoods" that have been behind the age old exploitation and control in the guise of religion and government but ultimately answerable only to their own appetite for TOO FUCKIN' MUCH !!!!

I'm HOG BITIN' MAD !!!!

I guess the point is DON'T put your dreams and schemes for a better planet on hold because it APPEARS out of your control. To some degree that is true but why not fight to get some of it back ? We have handed so much of our lives over to people who plain don't give a rat's ass about a sane, equitable way of life for all of Earth's inhabitants but we shouldn't let that notion shame us into inaction. Once burned shame on you.

Twice burned shame on me.

Old Chinese curse " May you live in interesting times."

Don't worry overmuch about the end of the world to the point it keeps you in a state of emergency (paranoia strikes deep..) but DO fight the good fight where and how you can and encourage others of like mind along the way. It's ALWAYS the end of the world for SOMEONE. Like Gramma B said " Everytime you sneeze a Chinaman dies."

Have taken to painting with real brush and canvas again as the computer is messing with my eyes and I just plain like waiting for paint to dry as I listen to some Moondog and smoke some of the GOOD reefer. The creative process is where I feel most alive and most in touch with which many of us would refer to as Spirit. Music is the same way for me. I am a beatnik at heart.

SO HOW ARE THINGS IN YOUR TOWN?

This is of course a community rant space so please feel free to " let'er fly !!!"  I was thinking a segue into a Michael Jackson rant would be just the thing but my sedated current state prohibits such a violent undertaking. I would go too far I am sure. It is 1;56 AM (CST) as I approach the witching hour ( 3;00 AM) which usually finds me gazing at a canvas with some Chet Baker sounding stuff on the box.

Can ya dig it ?
