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.
Bad Hair Day
So do you really want to live that fabulous life I just wrote about in that previous posting? If you are looking to be fashion conscious and trendy when you go out to those hottest places and events on the town, you can wear the fliest outfit there is on planet earth and if you are having a bad hair day, that outfit may just not be happening, maybe. What’s a bad hair day? Is it opposite a good hair day? Is it a lots of hair day or a no hair day? Is it a good mood day or a bad mood day? Is it all or none of the above? Long, short, straight, curly, kinky, wavy, frizzy, natural, permed; it’s all about the hair or is it all about the hair? Looking through the classifieds in the back of the weekly Village Voice newspaper, half of the ads seem to be related to hair, hair fashions, hair beauticians and hair help. Hair is strength, ones crowning glory, maybe. It can be a touchy subject. Can it sometimes be one of those features of yourself that you would like to swap with someone else? Or maybe not. How does one manage a bad hair day. Can all of the tying, frying and dying, caps, hats, wigs and scarves help a bad hair day? How long can one hide under rocks until the bad hair day situation is remedied, if ever. Do bad hair days really exist at all? What’s the answer to this question, if any.

Plastic
Today is July 4th. The fourth of July. It’s a day when there will be lots of events, celebrations, parties, barbeque’s and outdoor activities going on. Have you ever thought about the amount of plastic that will be disposed of today in all of this activity? Have you taken time to think of where that plastic cup or bag goes when you throw it in the garbage. As most of the parties today will most likely not be contributing to the recycling program. There are countries in Europe that impose a plastic bag tax, PlasTax of .5 cents for every plastic bag you receive to discourage the frivolous use of plastic. Ireland has reduced their consumption of plastic bags by 90 percent as a result. As New York City is contemplating a plastic ban, the plastic pimper corporations are not. America is drowning in plastic. As I have mentioned before, the evils of plastic are many. It is a non biodegradable object fueling the petroleum oil industry. The health hazards of plastic are many. Greenhouse gas emissions have run amok. Drains are being clogged and drain flooding is increasing. The birds of the earth are dying and choking from it and people are suffocating from it. For what reason is not a more natural material and product being created to replace plastic? If you are at a party today, consider the environment. Consider reusing your cup or your bag today. Go Green. And what does this have to do with a No Police State? Happy July 4th.
TV and the Radio
I have been internet addicted lately and could still use that anti internet get sleep soon routine. So much that I do not watch much television or listen to much radio. And my eyes are bleary in the process. And for recreation I have wondered about the times that I do find myself watching television or listening to the radio. Is TV and radio full of crap and garbage these days? I no longer need a gym membership to workout for I find myself flipping and turning the dial on these appliances non stop looking for decent, fluent, non commercial radio or decent non commercial television, or even decent television. It’s as if the song “57 channels and nothing on” is playing all the time. There seems to be more commercials on these devices than content itself. Sometimes I find public television or listener sponsored radio bearable. Does decent programming and entertainment exist anymore? Whatever decent could mean. I would think it does, somewhere. Maybe I am just getting older… Have a great day.
The Police
It’s the Police! No, not the State Police. It’s the Police! No, not the No Police State Girl. It’s the Police, the band. That really cool rock band that has been around for ages as I can remember. I think of Sting when I think of the Police, as if he could be the leader of that really cool group with really cool songs. The Police have released their latest Police CD that has been in stores since June 5. It is a double disc compilation CD that also includes a vintage The Police poster. The compilation CD must be really cool if it has all of those awesome songs that are on their latest television spot that is included in this post. That television spot is awesome when I looked at it. I can look at it over and over again just to hear the songs and sing to them over and over. There are songs that I recognize in that video from years past like Roxanne! You don’t have to put on the red light.., Don’t Stand So Close To Me, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, and of course Every Breath You Take, that song rocks. It has been remade and remixed a thousand times by various other artists. It seems to be a classic. The CD contains the songs De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, Spirits In The Material World, So Lonely, and more. Their compilation CD contains 28 classic tracks. It is their special 30th anniversary release and is in stores now. This is a sponsored post.
July 4th
It’s July 4th again. Another one of those national American patriotic holidays that is celebrated and observed only in America and nowhere else in the world. And what does the word “Patriotic” mean? That could be a whole another post. It’s that time of year again when the image of the American flag is worshiped and honored for whatever the reason may be and more patriotic songs are sung and more pledging of allegiance to the flags are pledged. Didn’t the flag waving just end last month with memorial day, the other ultimate patriotic American holiday? And what is being celebrated this time? I can’t remember the meaning of July fourth. Doesn’t it have something to do with freedom or the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia? I am not sure if anyone is free when others are oppressed and civil liberties are disappearing at the speed of light in the name of “Security and terrorism” and now, the latest trend “Plots”. Although the fireworks for this day can be really cool to look at and the rooftop parties can be fun. Again, I should consult Wikipedia, the ultimate internet bible to understand the meaning of this holiday. Happy July 4th, great travels, fireworks, barbecues, beachgoing and picnics.
MyBlogLogged?
This news just in….So I went to the website My Blog Log today, after a while of not visiting their site and using their really great features of their blogger community and oh no! The community messaging feature is gone! Oh no! What am I going to do now? How long has this been going on? Where am I gonna leave my messages to other bloggers and build links? Is this Google page ranking thing going to become a minus 00 now? Can I not quit my day job now as a result? I can barely type correctly thinking of the impending blogger doom. I can barely finish reading their blog about all of this before I have to blah blog about all of this myself. What will this mean for the blogger community? Is the blogging world going to end now? What’s going to happen? I can see they have been updating their site lately, as every website updates their site every so often, but I think as a blogger for bucks, or at least for pennies, that this could be major. Who’s gonna visit my site now as most of my visitors came….I mean come from the MyBlogLog community. There’s no other site like MyBlogLog is there? Where have all the features gone? What does this mean? Am I imagining, misunderstanding or misinterpreting all of this? What does Google have to say? What does the blogger community have to say about this? What does the blogging future hold? I must finish reading the MyBlogLog blog now to see what they have to say about this update. Have a great day.

No One Should Ever Work
No one should ever work. Workers of the world relax. This statement in on a flyer I saw in a bookstore the other day. Its dialogue looked pretty interesting, almost Utopian. Here are some excerpts from its text:
Work is the source of nearly all the misery of the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing things, It does mean creating a new way of (missing word?) based on play, festivity, for a collective adventure in generalizing joy and freely interdependent exuberance. (Skip a lot of text…….)
For certain purposes it’s not too misleading to call our system democracy or capitalism, better still, industrialism, but its real names are factory fascism, (Whats fascism?, That’s a whole another post). and office oligarchy. (Skip more text….) You are what you do. If you do boring, monotonous work, chances are you’ll end up boring and monotonous. (Skip even more text…..). It is now possible to abolish work and replace it, insofar as it serves useful purposes, with a multitude of new kinds of free activities. (Skip yet even more text….) On the one hand, on the quantitative side, we have to cut down massively on the amount of work being done. At present most work is useless and we should simply get rid of it. On the other hand, we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game like and craft like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes, except that they happen to yield useful end products.
Surely that shouldn’t make them less enticing to do. Then all the artificial barriers of power and property could come down. Creation could become recreation. And we could all stop being afraid of each other.
Interesting…. Have a great day.
