This Day

I have heard that the only thing constant in life is change. And it seems like times are changing indeed, I guess. And this day is Sunday, that day of Dios, day of rest Sabbath day again. or is that Saturday. And is it still one of those Easter Sundays? And I find myself blahging away about random thoughts again that come to mind. What was is the past few days or so. Oh, the bees are dying, and now that bats are dying, and now the frogs seem to be dying and the price of wheat is going up along with a barrel of oil. Is this the beginning of the eco apocalypse? And what about that big pile of plastic garbage that is floating around out there somewhere in the ocean, the Green Pacific Garbage Patch I believe it is called. And then there is that Go Green climate change is it the beginning of the end 2012 Mayan calendar thing. And Google was dark yesterday when I visited their page, it was black, with a message for Earth Hour, Lights Out America, or turn your lights off day in observance of saving planet mother earth or something like that. And this day, week and month time of the year also seems to be tax, I.R.S. and try and get money if possible for your social security act number 666 mark of the beast, season time again. And aren’t the Treasury and Federal Reserve printing up a bunch of money to cover the current economy collapse, recession, depression, Euro stronger than the dollar, stock market going down hill, foreclosure crisis or something like that. And then there is that Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 payment packet to mail to the Internal Revenue Service. What’s that all about. Is that the save the economy and the world from going downhill or uphill packet or something? And what did; does Caesar have to do with taxes. And for what reason does the word Caesar sound like Czar, or does it? And what is that Roman empire state, that empire state of the imperial emperor king. And who are the slaves and what does that word mean. If only money were free and grew on trees or was not needed at all. If only everything in the world were barter and trade or just free. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

And here is that other event that is sitting in my emal inbox also that looks worth checking out also.

Burnt Sugar: The Arkestra Chamber is the ultimate gumbo group. Burnt Sugar is Shapeshifted by Greg Tate, references may include at any moment: Sun Ra Arkestra, Parliament-Funkadelic, Bjork, Zappa, Hendrix, Butch Morris. Says ringleader Tate, 2008 has been a blowout busy year for Burnt Sugar–two sellout nights at ‘The Kitchen’ , an SRO performance at Paris’ Son D’Hiver festival, a live film score presentation at Lincoln Center of legendary indie black film godfather Oscar Micheaux’s 1927 silent feature ‘Within Our Gates’. Recent gigs have also featured guest appearances by hometown heroes Vernon Reid and Maya Azucena alongside the ever-evolving Burnt Sugar. At Drom the band will be presenting material being prepped for their next studio album which shall include an insane cover of Joni Mitchell’s .”All I Want” featuring the siren Lisala , a madcap meringue variation on Living Colour’s “Love Rears Its Ugly Head” and a ree-dunk-u-lous version of Fishbone’s ‘Black Flowers’ featuring Strong Island’s own Abby Dobson.

An Outsider Artist

Hey Bloggers, I was reading this weeks edition of the Village Voice newspaper, and as usual one of their full page color ads in their events section catches my eye. And this time it is an ad for the Bridge Art Fair New York 08 with a ton of participating galleries and an opening night reception and homage to the Tunnel Nightclub hosted by Amanda Lepore, Michael Musto, Screamin’ Rachel Cain and DJ Scotto with special performance by Amanda Lepore. And I always like going to events and blah blogging about them these days because hey, it’s less writing sometimes. At that reminds me, did I make it to that Outsider Art Fair this past year to see some outsider art? And what is outsider art anyway, art that is on the outside, and on the outside of what? Well, I guess I didn’t go this past year to the Puck Building where it is usually held, as I don’t remember freezing in the middle of January when they are usually held, trying to get there. And I do remember I actually made it to one of them years ago, as they are usually held there every year. And there are usually a ton of great outsider artists with outsider and folk art galleries from around the world to go with them like the American Primitive Gallery, The Ames Gallery. Berenberg Gallery, Bodell Fahey Umbrella Arts, Galerie Bonheur, Galerie Bourbon-Lally, Russell Bowman Art Advisory, Henry Boxer Gallery, Grey Carter Objects of Art, Cavin-Morris Gallery, Creative Growth Art Center, Andrew Edlin Gallery, Fischer Kunsthandel und Edition, Gilley’s Gallery, Galerie der Künstler aus Gugging, Carl Hammer Gallery, Marion Harris, Galerie Atelier Herenplaats, Dean Jensen Gallery, Keny Galleries, Inc., Phyllis Kind Gallery, Yukiko Koide Presents, Maxwell Projects, The Pardee Collection, Ricco Maresca Gallery, Rising Fawn Folk Art, JP Ritsch-Fisch Galerie, Luise Ross Gallery, Jennifer Pinto Safian, Judy A Saslow Gallery, Galerie St. Etienne, Tanner Hill Gallery, Wasserwerk.Galerie Lange and Galerie Susanne Zander. And I wonder how that Outsider Art Fair went this past year, as it’s been a while since I have seen those shows.

City Time


And I am not exactly sure what City Time is all about, but from that little bit of information I caught on the radio yesterday, it sounds like its big brother George Orwellian time again. And who is big brother anyway, a brother who is big? Is the beast here now? As this sounds like some scary mark of the beast 666 on everyones forehead end of the world Armageddon Apocalypse concept, enough to make me want to blahg about and and repost that passport posting I blogged about a while ago. And that radio segment went on to say something about city workers are planning a rally to protest some new technology that will scan their palms with a biometric palm print scanner or something in order to go to work. And I am starting to see those rfid tags and implanted chips in everyone now, is this some prophecy thing. And I also see everyones civil liberties disappearing at the speed of light in the name of “security” or “technology” or something like that, oh, that has already happened, I think. And I did one of those searches on the Internet about this, and the Office Of Payroll Administration Of The City Of New York was a website that came up. And its website says something Orwellian scary like “what is city time” “How is city time being implanted… I mean implemented”, “When will agencies start using citytime”, and it sounds really scary, as the Board of Correction,Campaign Finance Board,Conflicts of Interest Board,Department of Consumer Affairs ,Department of City Planning,Department of Design and Construction, Department of Finance, Department of Health and Mental Hygiene,Department of Records and Information Services,Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, Department of Small Business Services, Department of Youth and Community Development, Equal Employment Practices Commission, Department for the Aging, Fire Department, Financial Information Services Agency, Kings County Public Administrator, Law Department, Office of the Actuary, Office of Collective Bargaining, Office of Payroll Administration , Police Department – Patrol Borough Staten Island , Staten Island Borough President , Taxi and Limousine Commission and the Teachers’ Retirement System are currently using the CityTime production system;, and the next agencies include the Department of Parks, Department of Probation, Department of Juvenile Justice, Department of Environmental Protection and the Administration of Children’s Services. And for some reason I can not read anymore, for the title of these subjects alone are scary. The following is a passport article reposted from a while back ago, as this all seems related somehow:
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 social security act law #666 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. Are people now products to be scanned? 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. And now that passage from revelations comes to mind, ” And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelations 13.
” First they came for the state agencies and I did not speak out because I was not a state agency. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.” Pastor Martin Niemöller. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

Why Is It

“A man wakes up after sleeping under an advertised blanker on an advertised mattress and pulls off advertised pajamas, bathes in an advertised shower, shaves with an advertised razor, brushes his teeth with advertised tooothpaste, washes with advertised soap, puts on advertised clothes, drinks a cup of advertised coffee, drives to work in an advertised car and then…refuses to advertise, believing it doesn’t pay. Later if business is poor,he advertises it for sale. Why Is It?”
Those are the above words I found written in church parish bulletin for their Easter service that I came across yesterday. Please Patronize Our Advertisers. And this advertisement was found right along with a bunch of other Christ Is Risen religious sayings, quotes and advertisements for supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, funeral homes, chapels, New York Single online dating ads, beauty salons, realtors and the like, that they had in their parish bulletin for their schedule of masses. And I thought about that Why Is It advertisement because hey, I am always looking for advertisement for this blog in an attempt to blah blog my way to riches. And why is it? And I think today is still Easter, Easter Monday in the fifty days of Easter, or is it forty. Have a great continuing Easter holiday.

Good Friday

Hey bloggers, gee, I took a look at the date of the last posting I did on this blog and it looks like it was a few days ago. And I try to attempt to blah blog away as much as I can in my blogaholicness, and then there is real life versus the virtual world. And then there is also that other blog I attempted to start last week, yet another one of those No Police State Girl blogs. And I wonder if maybe I should try and think up a different name for those blogs already. And it seems as if it is that page rank thing that sent me there to looking for another blog anyway. And when it seems as if the world is falling down around me, I still find myself blah blogging away. And yesterday in the world on that day, the Gregorian calendar, and the advertisements say this day yesterday, was Good Friday, or maybe God’s Friday. I am not exactly sure what Good Friday is all about, maybe Wikipedia has an answer for that, but I gather it is some sort of religious holiday having to do with God and and fasting that leads up to Easter. And it is holy week this week, where praise to God and Jesus and his crucifixion could be given, whoever God may be. And what the heck does Easter have to do with eggs and bunnies anyway. Is that a spring, multiply, reproduce and be fruitful thing. And then there is Passover, isn’t that another religious holiday a month away for God. I should watch that Ten Commandments movie again, it is really educational to watch when one is too lazy to read the bible. Have a great holy week.
