Bailout Blues

And that bailout blues that is in the news a lot lately and on this day not only has me wondering if it is the beginning of the end of the economy and if the soup lines are now for everyone. It also has me to wondering if it is the beginning of the end of the world when I see those 777 numbers pop up on that Wall Street Dow Jones Stock Exchange board as being the biggest drop in the stock market exchange ever, that just so happens to coincide with the elections and the changing of office in that country of Amerika, I mean America. And then my religious fanaticism thoughts start to wander again as I have always thought every so often if this number has something to do with the Armageddon, the Apocalypse, doomsday, World War III and all things end of the world, as I see it having something to do with that 666 and the Antichrist save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast thing being a hundred years later, 777 being completion and the number of God, Yahweh, Jehovah. And does that 777 number mean anything. And then what about 888, then 999 or 101010. Is there a prophet out there with an answer for this. Does that Internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for this? And maybe I should read that Aleister Crowley witchcraft 777 sacred numbers of God and the church And Other Qabalistic Writings book to see what that all means. And so I thought to post the the following posts that are some postings that I posted a while ago on this blog in my religious fanaticism thoughts in relation that 777 and other end of the world things...

Hey Bloggers, Lo and Behold. Today is 777. July 7, 2007. This day must be significant because I see it in the headlines everywhere today with the title "What does this date mean?" The Yahoo homepage says today is a special date for weddings and love and that a record number of couples will wed today because of the date's alleged power. The MSN homepage says today you can watch the Live Earth global concerts for global warming and climate crisis awareness. What does 777 mean? Well, I have a bunch of wild guesses that it means 7, the number of completion, a holy number of God, the opposite of 666 with its dark meaning of Satan and the Antichrist. Astrologers may be having a field day with this number also. According to The Secret Language of Birthdays book, July seventh is the day of imaginative revelations. The zodiac sign Cancer. Revelations is a recurrent theme in the lives of July 7 people. So maybe it could have something to do with the book of Revelations and the end of the world? Those born on the seventh day of this month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune, a watery planet. Is water related somehow, maybe as a blessing? The 7th card of the Major Arcana is the Chariot. Not sure what to make of that, maybe Christ in his chariot returns. What does the Wikipedia say, do they have an entry for this, what do the prophets say, do they have a prophecy for this? I must look to somewhere else to find the meaning of this day. Oh, I see something there now. The numbers 07.07.07 read upside down reads LO,LO,LO! Or OLLO, AL-OZ,Allah,OLOZ,0102,Yahweh,Jehova,JHVH, YHVH,YHWH,yoga,12.21.2012,part of the trinity. Lo and Behold. That is one of the secret meanings of the yoga guy pictured above. He depicts the progression of humanity and he is a recurrent theme to be interpreted in many ways that I like to use. Have a great 07/07/07 day.

And this other one.....

Now this is an interesting story. As I was getting my daily dose of world news today of all the daily atrocities of the world that are too innumerable to mention, enough cacophony and anomaly of atrocities on a daily basis to make me think that is the beginning of the end and then to turn off the news and pretend that none of the horrible news of the day stories exists in this information overload technological world we live in these days, I came across this headline: "Russians Wait For The End Of The World". Hugh? Gog and Magog, what does it mean? And now my Armageddon, Apocalyptic, religious fanaticism thoughts start coming to mind again. Is this one of those top ten prophetic signs of the end of the world? Are Doomsday, Nostradamus, the Anti Christ, Jesus, World War III and the apocalypse on their way now? And this article went on to say something about that these people see the commercialization of the church, tax identification numbers and passports as the apocalyptic sign of the beast and do not go to school, watch television, listen to radio or handle money. They believe in spiritual and moral education. Now that's interesting. Are these people the chosen ones? Who is to decide what is normal and what is not. This is yet one more story to be followed in the news today and tomorrow. And with that thought in mind, what's that "Leonid meteor shower to peak this weekend" thing all about? How will the satellites fare in the sky? Will stars and angels fall out of the sky? Is this the dragon, that serpent of the sky whose seven heads and tail cast stars to the earth in Revelations or something? Is that constellation of shooting stars and angels going to be cast down to earth during that war in heaven? Is this a sign of the coming of the Messiah? Is Babylon falling? Is that some prophecy sign in heaven written in the stars also. Did Nostradamus predict this comet also? What exactly does that Leonid meteor shower mean, anything? Now maybe about this leonid meteor shower being a heavenly sign thing that I just came across, I may have been on the computer too long today and maybe it is time for me to turn it off and pretend I do not read the news in my religious and now astrological fanaticism. Does this Leonid meteor shower thing have to to do with that Pluto now being in Sagittarius galactic core season of change thing I wrote about a few blog postings ago? And what kind of season of change does this mean? According to that Leonid Meteor site above, Saturn the Great Millennial Sabbath, the Messianic planet and the grim reaper and his sickle may be near, if you believe.:

The Signs and the Seasons

In the month of May, 2000, we saw Saturn entering the sign of Taurus, the Bull. Seven years from that time, in 2007 A.D., Saturn – the “Messianic” planet -- will enter the sign of Leo, the Lion – the Messianic Sign! In the year 2007 Saturn will begin to enter Leo, the Lion, and will also move through a conjunction with Regulus, the king star, between the feet of Leo, as the Hebrew calendar approaches Rash Hashanah.
Over the next seven years, from 2000 to 2007, Saturn will travel through the constellations that tell the story of the wrath of God being poured out upon an unbelieving world. That would be Taurus, the coming Judge; Gemini, which in ancient zodiacs tells the story of the Bridegroom and his bride; Cancer, the symbol of resurrection; and Leo, the lion pouncing on Hydra, a many-headed serpent. These constellations along with their sidereal sidepieces tell the story of the second advent of Jesus Christ”......The One with the sickle, who will harvest the earth, is Yeshua the Messiah -- Leo the Lion, the “Lion of the tribe of Judah”! Now that's really interesting. And if it is the beginning of the end, will there be a tomorrow to follow this story. No one is free while others are oppressed. Is another world possible? What does this all mean? Lo and behold the yoga guy in the photo above. The yoga guy depicts the progression of humanity. And here is one of many secrets about the yoga guy above. A-L=12, halfway through the alphabet, O-Z=12, halfway through the alphabet. ALOZ, ALLAH. 12.21.2012, 0102. OLOZ, AL-OZ, ALOZ, ALLAH. M and N the middle of the alphabet = the Millennium, the head of Christ, Grist, the Holy Grail, The Holy Ghost, a thousand years shall Satan be let loose? (Yahweh,Yeshua,Jehovah,JHVH,YHVH,YHWH, YOGA), part of the trinity. Watch and be ready. If you believe. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

An Art Opening

And today is that Sunday day time of the week again, that day of the sun, sabbath day of rest, or is that Saturday? And yet I find myself blah blogging away on this blog for some reason. And so someone actually did send me a few photos of that art event I found myself blogging about just yesterday on this blog. And that person was a guy named Ves who sent me those photos from above, as this art event was one of those times that I did not find myself dragging that camera out of the closet, whose only purpose seems to be to collect dust these days. And those photos above are from Leo's Art Opening the other night in Dumbo, that neighborhood in Brooklyn in that City of New York where every other person seems as if they are an artist of some sort. And those photos above are of these two people dressed up in their art installation which seemed to be themselves, sitting on I guess Leo's bed. And they were a colorful art installation indeed. And that art event was from the Leo Kuelbs Collection, titled “Space Within Space”, New Sculpture and Installations at “dumbo art under the bridge festival”, Opening Party with work by ON megumi Akiyoshi, OLEK, Thomas Lendvai, Christy Singleton, Adriana Varella, Nilton Maltz, Andrew Eustler and Chris Herbeck. And his art events rock and are usually a great excuse for me to go see cool artwork. Have a great art day.

Follow Me

And so I asked this guy at this art opening the other day, "Hey, do you have a camera on your cell phone that you can take a picture of that cool art installation with?", and his reply was "No, I don't. All of those new cell phones have that GPS, Global Positioning System thing on them and the government, or Big Brother or someone can track you with it. They can actually turn on your cell phone and listen to your conversation. So I just have one of these older model cell phones without the camera." Now that was a scary reply to me that I have never thought of or considered. The idea that Big Brother could be watching you and following your every move through your own cell phone, as if it could be some sort of scene from that Eagle Eye movie. And are those gps devices the new modern form of big brother spying on civilization and society. Is this the newest Jetsons space age version of George Orwell's 1984 Winston Smith character and his telescreen that can talk to him. Are these global positioning system things that are to be found in just about every other electronic device these days really helpful for things other than getting lost and other reasons. And whatever happened to that good old fashioned road map. And maybe I am just still stuck in the stone age or something and have not yet advanced to Kali Yuga and her Iron Age. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State?

Here On Earth

And so I find myself blogging again on this blog, wondering what to blog about simply because I started this blog to blah blog every so often. And if seems as if this world is spinning out of control, and was it ever in control I am not sure, when the Yahoo Headlines read "Mom admits to helping son build weapons cache, and gunman kills many at a school, then self". And it is enough to have one leery of going to school for fear of gun violence these days and times. Is it 2012 and Kali Yuga on track, this world we live in these days. And what would that National Rifle Association have to say about this. And in other thoughts, most of the news seems to be all about the national economy being in debt, debt and more debt and tanking and going downhill these days, all during the elections and the changing of those White House office workers. And for what reason is that place called the white house anyway. That could be a whole another blog posting. And there is becoming so much of a national debt that even the Federal Reserve and Treasury are starting to have difficulty printing up enough money to cover it all. And is this the beginning of one of those depression recessions. Maybe one can squat the world and dumpster dive for free food durint these times. Maybe if everyone needs a home, they could take one now, maybe. Maybe alternative ways of living free from oppression can be considered now, maybe. Maybe another world is possible, where people can be free to live off the land. Whose idea is it that the land is for sale anyway. Housing and shelter, a basic necessity of human life. And for some reason that bible verse comes to mind, "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows". And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State? Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

The Deli Magazine

The The Deli Magazine will have an All Day Deli Show during the Dumbo Art Under The Bridge Festival this weekend. I know because their email that they sent says so. And I have been an avid reader every so often of that Deli Magazine and its indie rock, folk scene and more when it comes to being all music all the time. You can read their NYC Top 20 with bands like Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, The Strokes, Brazilian Girls, LCD Soundsystem, Animal Collective, Interpol, The National, We Are Scientists and more. And then you can read about that CMJ 08 Music Marathon and Film Festival that is coming up in October with performances by Broken Social Scene, Deerhoof, Talib Kweli, Kid Sister and hundreds more. And that Deli Magazine usually writes about the coolest bands that play at the coolest places around that City of New York like Cake Shop, Crash Mansion, Knitting Factory, Lit Lounge, Niagara Bar, Sputnik, Union Hall, Annex, Goodbye Blue Monday, Trash Bar, Pete's Candy Store, Bowery Ballroom, Bowery Poetry Club, Mercury Lounge, Rehab, Stain, Sidewalk Cafe, Union Pool, Arlene's Grocery, The Shrine, Rockwood Music Hall and just about every other place to be found in New York City where there's music to be heard. And they have just about what seems like over a zillion of every hand picked artist listed on their website from indie rock, post rock, experimental, loud rock, folk songwriters, mellow indie, lo fi, indie pop, psych rock, electronic, and almost any other music category one can think of. And so that email that Paolo sent on this day reads something like as follows:

Guys, We are having a free Deli show/party on Saturday in Dumbo, during the Art Under the Bridge Festival. There will be something like 21 artists playing from 2pm until night,paintings hanging on the walls and videos at Water Street Lounge that is a yearly event organized by the Dumbo Arts Center, lasting from 7pm on Friday 09.26 through Sunday 09.28. Over the festival weekend, art will be happening everywhere in Dumbo on the streets, sidewalks, storefronts, elevators, lobbies, the water, the waterfront, parks, nooks, crannies, delis, NY Water Taxi, and more. Along with the 65 plus new public art projects, over 100 local artists will open their studios to the public, and downstairs at the Water Street Lounge. On Saturday The Deli and SESAC will showcase 20 plus musical artists and 8 visual artists. Here's the lineup: Clueless, Mascott, Craig Chin, Kagero, Jessica L Fenton, Lester Von Buween, Maia MacDonald, Pontus Gunve, The City Lights, Myles Turney, The Meanwhiles, Creaky Boards, Alice, Kelly Rae Powell, April Smith, Fresh Air Kids, The Feverfew, Tonearm, 55 Diet Kong,Object, Comandante Zero and Aderbat.

Have a great rockin music day

Headline News

And even though I read the most atrocious headlines on a daily business of gun violence, and people who are losing their lives to violence, enough to make me wonder if it is the beginning of the end of the world and that the world is spinning out of control. And is it Kali Yuga of the iron age descending. And I still for some reason find myself watching movies, such as Gangs of New York, that seems as if New York politics could be founded on gangs and corruption after watching it. And An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, that seems as if it wants to talk about the end of the world also from global warming and save the world. And Basquiat, that artist whose quote in that film "Everybody wants to get on the Van Gogh boat. There's no trip to horrible that someone wont take it", could seemingly be real, at least in that City of New York where it seems as if every other person is an artist of some sort. And in other thoughts, what about those elections. I have heard it said that if voting changed anything it would be illegal. What does that mean. And in other thoughts again, what about that Euro News channel, that is news in Europe. It seems a completely different news than American news for some reason. And what did that news article mean when it said "A person opened fire when another person did not respond at Checkpoint Charlie and that person lost his life to gun violence for no reason at all, except for the fact that guns have been invented. And what if that person did not understand what was being said. And guns are the worst invention ever. If only guns could be abolished from every human being on the face of planet earth and from all forms of media and advertising. Does not advertising influence society. Is another world possible. Where is the world headed. No one is free when others are oppressed. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

The Land Of Fake Food

And so I realized those fruits and vegetables that are to be found in the animal kingdom and on the food chain and in most any food store that is consumed by man and humanity cold be fake, And I realized this when I actually saw fruits and vegetables that were grown all natural, without the use of pesticides and anything else. And these vegetables and fruits were most often full of holes and eaten away by worms, spiders, caterpillars and other earthly beings that are to be found in the dirt of planet mother earth. And then I went to the market to look at these same fruits and vegetable. And even the organic fruits and vegetables. And these fruits and vegetables were pristine, shiny, waxed, spotless, flawless and blemish free. How is that possible? How is it possible to grow perfect blemish free fruits and vegetables without holes in them from the creature of planet mother earths dirt. Even the organic fruits and vegetables. And this gets me to wondering, how fake is the food. How real is the food that one eats, And what bug spray is one eating. And that does not even include the meat. And what would PETA, that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals group have to say about this. Help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

In Praise Of Street Artists

A friend of mine gave me this flyer of a poem titled "In Praise Of Street Artists", by Kenneth P. Neilson. And that friend of mine was performing on the streets themselves when they received this poem. And so I thought this poem interesting to post, though I did not center it as it is centered on this flyer:

ART IS A NECESSITY, NOT A LUXURY

STREET ART

Use your senses
No need to buy
No contracts
No paid admission

See for free
Stop to talk
Or walk.

REMINDER

How can the Met forget
That Van Gogh didn't "sell,"
Except one painting
To his brother.
if he'd been on the street,
He might have sold another

SH!

Inside the Met,
you marvel at the price.
To mention it, of course,
Is not considered nice.

CHAINED

Street art's not chained
To auction block
Demanding bags of gold.
The wonder is that beauty
For so little can be sold.

ART IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE COMMUNITY

Have a great poetry day.

Equinox

Hey bloggers, and yesterday must have been the equinox, that day of the year that has something to do with the seasons changing, the fall harvest and astrology or something. And I know yesterday must have been the equinox because an email from The Temple of Ara Mabon Celebration to honor the second harvest and the turning of the wheel that was to be found in that email inbox titled "Equinox Celebration in Central Park at 4:30 on Cherry Hill‏" said so. And what does that word equinox mean anyway. And I think that word equinox may mean equal night in another language or something, as I believe it has something to do with the day of the year where the amount of daylight hours are equal to the amount of night hours. That internet bible Wikipedia must have an entry for that word. And isn't today the first official day of fall according to that Gregorian calendar, hence those fall winds and that latter half of the year approaching. And I thought to post that photo of that astrology guy above whose photo I have seen on the cover of that Secret Language of Birthdays book. And he seems as if he could be some magician passing to the other side, between life and death, heaven and earth or something. And that photo looks really cool. And the seasons are changing, and the times are changing. Have a great astrology, equinox, fall harvest day.

Immigration

And on this day is Sunday, that sabbath day of rest, or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blah blogging away for some reason on this blog. And for some reason that verse from the bible comes to mind, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head". And that other verse, "A brother is born for adversity". And a friend mentions to me that war is a business. Is war a business? And is it George Orwell's statement from that nineteen eighty four movie, the war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. And another friends mentions that another friend has been denied entry to that country of the United States, or deported from a country for various reasons. And what does that word immigration mean, to migrate, to travel? Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for that. And I have heard horror stories of whole families being separated, destroyed and torn apart from this idea of Immigration And Naturalization Services, INS company that seems to be some form of modern day slavery to me. And what about those visas, green cards, forms, applications, petitions, employment, interviews, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, residence alien from outer space, illegal aliens, refugee, asylee, settlement, immigrant, nonimmigrant, genealogy, nationality, naturalization things. What does this all mean. Are we all not foreigners and strangers in this land. The whole idea that one can prevent another from travelling freely from one place to another on this planet of earth I can not comprehend. And has humanity become slave to computers, that modern invention of technology, to where one is no longer a human, but becomes a robot to technology, a machine, some sort of beast like thing. No one is free when others are oppressed. And so I thought to post a blog entry that I posted a while ago on this blog.:

The Passport

For what reason is the number of that passport immigration law that prohibits freedom of travel amongst humanity anywhere on planet earth, and that Section 666 Social Security Act, cashless society, national I.D., the number of your name to receive any state services and everything else in between thing, 666? Is this that save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast thing in the book of Revelations. Is this written in prophecy somewhere. Did George Orwell or Nostradamus predict this? Is that a coincidence or on purpose that this law has the same number of that beast thing. And who or what is the beast, and what is that mark on ones right hand or forehead. What does that mark represent or mean, if anything. And what's up with that UPC bar code photo that I placed in this blog entry. And for what reason do all universal product codes contain this number. What the heck does that mean? Is that the number of the beast, the number of man? And what's that New World Order, Verichip and RFID tag thing all about. Big Brother, Brave New World and technology are here and that's a whole another blog posting. And I have heard so many green card immigration nightmare stories about green card marriages, lotteries and green card everything else in between. Of people leaving a country and not being able to return for whatever reason. And the stories of loss of life while crossing a border, whether by land or sea. And for what reason are there boarders, divisions, restrictions, barriers and territories of land in this world. And for what reason are people not free to travel anywhere in the world without the permission of someone else. Who invented this concept. Is it possible to undo this passport, visa, citizenship, where are your papers to come here law so that everyone can be free to travel anywhere in this world. For what reason does this concept exist. And who is a foreigner. Aren't we all strangers in this land. Is another world possible. No one is free when others are oppressed. It is Sunday today, day of God, a day of rest. Or is that Saturday, the Sabbath, Sabado. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

The Weekend

Hey Bloggers, and it's that weekend time again. I know because Friday is usually the end of the week as far as I know. And when that weekend makes its way around again, I sometimes find myself wondering what to do on the weekend as far as events go it that City of New York. And there is always that nonsense nyc event list from Jeff Stark that I have somehow found myself subscribing to. And that is a really cool list with lots of cool things to do each day of the week as far as events go. And I find myself posting events on this blog every so often because hey, it's less writing sometimes. And one of those events that they have listed on their calendar for this week is as follows:

SEPTEMBER 21

Democracy in America Convergence Center

After traveling across the country to glean perspectives from artists and activists on the state of democracy, Creative Time's year-long program Democracy in America: The National Campaign culminates in the Convergence Center: a major exhibition, participatory project space, and meeting hall mounted in New York City’s Park Avenue Armory just in time for election season. The Convergence Center at Park Avenue Armory will provide an activated space to both reflect on and perform democracy and will be punctuated by speeches by artists, community leaders, and cultural critics throughout the week. As one of the largest unobstructed spaces in New York, the non-traditional setting of the Armory features interiors—such as its vast drill hall and historic period rooms—that are ideal for artists presenting multifaceted visual and performing arts productions.

Artists include: Erick Beltrán, Center for Tactical Magic, Critical Art Ensemble, Annabel Daou, dB Foundation, Hasan Elahi, Feel Tank, Luca Frei, Chitra Ganesh and Mariam Ghani, Group Material, John Hawke, Sharon Hayes, Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, Incubate, Magdalena Jitrik, Matt Keegan, Jon Kessler, Olga Koumoundouros and Rodney McMillian, Steve Lambert, Ligorano/Reese, Pia Lindman, Rachel Mason, Carlos Motta, Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere, Trevor Paglen, Cornelia Parker, Jenny Polak, Steve Powers, Greta Pratt, Paul Ramírez Jonas, Red76, Duke Riley, Martha Rosler, Dread Scott, Allison Smith, Chris Sollars, Chris Stain, Mark Tribe, United Victorian Workers, Chu Yun, and more.

Speeches and performances by the Yes Men, Reverend Billy, Karen Finley, Steve Kurtz (of Critical Art Ensemble), Rachel Mason, Trever Paglen, Pia Lindman, Tanya Fields (of Sustainable South Bronx), Matthew Diaz (who released the names and serial numbers of Guantanamo detainees to the Center of Constitutional Rights), Camilo Mejía (an Iraq War veteran and major spokesman against the war), Brian Holmes, representatives from Working Artists and the Greater Economy, and others.


Have a great event day

Debt

And that word debt seems to be in the news a lot lately, especially when it comes to the New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street, the Dow Jones, the Federal Reserve and Treasury and the United States dollar bill, as it seems to be the national economy is in debt in some sort of way. And that is the national economy. And what about personal debt, do you find yourself contributing to this national debt in some sort of way with a personal debt. Are you in debt? Do you have one of those I.O.U's that you may owe to someone that you may find yourself hiding out from the telephone from, if the telephone has not been repossessed by that creditor by that point. Well, if you happen to be looking for debt relief, you can consolidate debt with bills.com. They can help you get out of debt and find financial freedom.

50 Signs You're A Blogaholic

And for some reason I can not post this blog entry over and over enough, as I find it funny, sort of... I ran across Cool Buzz online which had the following post from Jonathan Deamer on their blog and as it turns out, tens and hundreds of other bloggers have posted the same following post. It's hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!

A Blog Post

And after what seems like decades and centuries of blogging on this blog in that Internet web 2.0 social media user generated content era of technology and inventions, I find myself encountering what seems like blah blog bloggers writers block again as I ask myself, "What do I blah blog about today on this bloggers blog out there in the bloggersworld of a bazallion other blogs?" And sometimes it seems as if I could use one of those Internet gurus to help solve this debacle of finding and maintain content for this blog for some reason. And maybe I could consider hiring one of those Craigslist interns in the writers wanted section, or maybe I could ask a thousand other people to help me maintain this blog. Or maybe I could consult one of those online tutorials about "How to maintain your blog" somewhere out there in the internetland world. Is there a way to magically find content for this blog? And that seems like it could be one of those blogger guru internet questions to be answered to me. And what if I do not post on this blog again for blogger burnout or some other reason and it remains postless. And what's the purpose or reason for having a blog again, I forget sometimes. And so I find myself posting one of these posts on this blog again on this day that really seems to be about blogging. Have a great blogging day.

tag heuer formula 1

Time, father time, those two sticks who tell us what to do, the only thing constant is change and time. And there must be lots of more sayings about that old word time. And I find myself following time all the time with clocks and watches of some sort. And then I find myself with one of those watches every so often to follow that thing called time. And watches have always been great as timepieces and a really convenient way to tell time on the go. There are many kinds of watches out there to be found, and you can find them at TheWatchery.com. The Watchery has hundreds of watches from many different brands in many different styles of high quality. And their watches look really cool with their shiny, brilliant colors. The Watchery also have a big selection of Tag Heuer watches. And you can find luxury watches and Tag Heuer Watches at up to fifty percent off at TheWatchery.com. And the tag heuer formula 1 watch is up to thirty percent off. Tag Heuer is a leading producer of luxury sports watches and chronographs and you can view many different gold and diamond Tag Heuer watches at The Watchery website at great discount prices. It's about time.

Trader Woes

And after having went to that popular New York supermarket Trader Joes, who can't seem to keep their shelves stocked fast enough, I thought of this day as Trader Woes as the New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street Dow Jones economy seems to be tanking and going downhill on this day, so much that the Federal Reserve can not seem to print up enough money fast enough to cover it all. And is this the beginning or the end of a recession depression. And maybe everyone could squat the world, free the land and be free, or at least housing could be free. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible? And in other thoughts, That "The Conscious Objector", "Life, Liberty and...Is America Driving You Crazy?" article written by Amanda Park Taylor in this weeks L Magazine, that events magazine that is to be found just about everywhere in those corner boxes on the streets in that City of New York, is really interesting. And those Amanda Park Taylor articles are always really cool to read to me as they seem to be environmental related and seek to save the world and planet mother earth. And this weeks article seems to be an exception in that it mentions psychiatry and its hazards, and dared to go where no man has gone before, or usually goes before in the media, in speaking about psychiatry. And that is awesome to me. And her article went on to say something about one in four college students is now taking antidepressants, a quarter of the soldiers returning from Iraq are diagnosed with mental illness, a huge growing percentage of children are on psychoactive medications, for either depression, or, more commonly ADD/ADHD, and the overall incidence of "mental illness" has nearly doubled since 1987, when Prozac was introduced, and that the drug industry has a lot of power and are not into alternative therapies where there is no money to be made from insurance. And her article goes on to say many more interesting things about medication and the pharmaceutical drug industry. And I am against psychiatry. Psychiatry Kills. Psychiatrists and their treatments are mass murderers in white coats, as descendants of Nazi Germany where psychiatry and the mental death system was born, maybe. Abolish forced psychiatric treatment. For all things mental health human rights and alternatives to the mental health death system, MindFreedom is a good website to visit. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State?

Drugs In The Water?

The news says there is another hurricane on this day toward the country of America, and many people have fled their homes. And what must it mean to leave ones home and to uproot ones self. And then there was a Yahoo News headline yesterday that read "AP Enterprise: Drugs affect more drinking water". Hugh? Now that article sounds like something straight out of a George Orwell 1984 science fiction horror story novel. And this article went on to say something like different states in America have different trace amounts of pharmaceuticals in their drinking water supplies. Hugh? And is this the work of the American Psychiatric Association or the American Medical Association. Now I have heard of ozone in the water such as it is in Europe, and even that fluoride that has something not so good in it, but drugs? And I know that psychiatry kills, that the pharmaceutical industry is bigger than the war industry, that psychiatrists are mass murderers in white coats and that involuntary forced psychiatric treatment should be abolished, but this sounds like some sort of an extreme. And will the nation and all of humanity, at least in America at the moment, now be a pharmaceutical drugged up nation. And how is it possible to drug up all of the water supply and humanity and turn them into walking zombies straight out of the movie Night of the Living Dead anyway. Did someone accidentally drop a gallon of bug spray into the water supply, wherever the water supply is. And I am not sure if even the greatest historian, prophet, Nostradamus, astrologer or science fiction novel writer could have predicted a headline like this, maybe. And it could be a Prozac, Thorazine, chemical bug spray lobotomy, tardive dyskinesia tic nation indeed with a headline like this. And what does one do, not drink the water, or perish? Or maybe one could drink bottled water only, and then those plastic bottles seem to have their own environmental hazard horror stories going with those polycarbonate phyto chemicals leaching from that plastic bottle into its content. And those water filters can probably only filter so much bug spray and psychiatric drugs when it comes to filtering out drugs and working miracles, maybe. Oh, and there's always the creaks, streams, rivers, lakes, oceans and the nearest body of water one could drink straight out of, maybe. And what could be next, could there be some sort of DSM III manual label created for this drug the water syndrome called "waterphreniaosis" or something to generate even more money for those treatments from that water for that mental death industry. And for everything mental patients liberation, human rights and alternatives to psychiatry, Mind Freedom is a good website to visit. And how do those psych trickery eugenics companies possibly benefit and profit from drugging the water supply I cannot understand or comprehend anyway, as the water supply does not usually discriminate as far as I know. And is there some sort of answer for this science fiction novel headline. And what does this have to do with A No Police State?

Thoughts

"Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten". And this is a quote that I came across while surfing on that thing called the internet on this day. And that forum was discussing that the bees are still dying, and it gets me to wondering abut that colony collapse disorder it is being called and Albert Einstein's quote ""If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." And in other thoughts I find myself blah blogging about on this blog on this day, someone sent a MySpace message today to My MySpace Page in that inbox email and their message said "something, something, something I can not exactly remember and.... if you're not mad, you not paying attention". And I think that may have been in response to my No Police State Girls No Police State song. And I thought that message was interesting. And in other thoughts again, what's up with that big "Save Domino" sign in big red neon letters on the side of some big building that you can see from afar on that J and M train as it crosses the Williamsburg Bridge going to and fro between Manhattan and Brooklyn. And that building used to be the Domino sugar factory as I remember it, and maybe it is to become yet another victim of the city's housing crisis, gentrification and genocide, maybe. And is that a sign of things to come or things yet to come. Have a great day.

School

Hey bloggers, and it seems to be back to school time again. That time of year, usually around labor day and the beginning of fall that kids and other people may find themselves going back to school. And DYMO are the makers of everything label makers just in time for back to school and also for labeling file folders. DYMO makes label writers, label printers, as well as LabelWriter printers, document management software, desktop label makers, CD and DVD printers and much more for your office solutions to help you get organized and label with style. With DYMO Labels, you can label lunchboxes, gym clothing, school books, homework, toys, music and anything and everything else in between. And heck, if I was one of those business minded, networking meeting and greeting kinds of people, I would just use one of those DYMO label makers to make a bunch of business cards by putting them on some sort of card or piece of paper, over and over, and over and over. And there must be lots more different kinds of ways to use those DYMO label makers. DYMO has lots of tips and advice for New Years resolutions, National Organization Month, labeling crafts and hobbies, how to keep kids organized and back to school time on their website. And DYMO's tips and advice section can give you inspiration on how to use those labels for the office, home and more.

The Sustainability Project

And for some reason this blog seems as if it wants to be about events lately, because hey, it's less writing sometimes, maybe. And on this day is that sabbath day of rest or is that Saturday? And I find myself blogging about events again. And somehow I wound up in that Lower East Side Loisada neighborhood that now seems to be called The East Village for real estate marketing purposes maybe, and found my way to that Howl Festival that is taking place today in Tompkins Square park. And then there was that cornfield dance that was taking place today at the 6th Street and Avenue B Community Garden today also, whose event is in those photos above that I attempted to take from my vantage point. And that event was a dance installation for The Sustainability Project, keep us in the green. Their dancers, artists and musicians were Ellen Cornfield, Hope Davis, Lindsay Fisher, Jonathan Fredrickson, Megan Krauszer, Ellie Kusner, Ryan Mason, Caitlin Scranton, Emily Stone, Welf, Brahim Fribgane and Andreas Brade. And the Sustainability project is a series of performances by cornfield dance to be presented in a variety of alternative spaces throughout New York City. And if you have ideas for places to perform in the city. let them know. And as their name my imply, go green, it's the new thing. Help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

NYC Sound Tracks

Hey Bloggers, today seems to be that day of labor holiday in the country of America. Workers of the world unite. And so I find myself posting this video of NYC Soundtracks, Five Boroughs, 16 Musicians,
One Superstar, that is a series of competitions to find New York City's favorite subway musicians. They are looking for the best sounds from the underground and you can be the judge. Join the search for New York City's greatest subway musicians, Sundays on MSG and MSG.com. And so I thought to post this video of the Drumadics, band who performs as part of that NYC Sound Tracks Series and also as part of the Arts For Transit, Metropolitan Transit Authority Music Under New York Program. And that band subway rocks. And they are to be found in this video somewhere. Have a great music day.
