Toxic Rain

And these former blog entries from this blog that seem to find themselves repeating themselves over and over each year on this blog…..

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 anyway? And for what reason does the word patriot have the word riot in it. And that “Parens Patriae” government as parent, father of a country sovereign guardianship of property thing, what’s that all about? That could be a whole another blog post of isms of some sort. And 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 May, 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 showbusiness of fireworks for pyrotechnics of peace and war 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.

And this one also…..

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.

The Weather

And with that oil spill in the ocean that’s been in the news a lot lately in the Gulf of Mexico and now those news headlines about a hurricane wanting to mix that oil up with the water and throw it all over seemingly the world any day now, I’ve been watching the weather forecasts a lot lately. And even when there is no hurricane and oil mixture wanting to cover the world, I still find myself watching those weather reports for sun, the moons, cold, rain, ice, snow, hail and whatever other elements that may find their way to planet earth. And so usually one visits their local weather forecast for that weather forecast information in their area, and if you happen to be looking for Australian weather information, The Weather Channel has it. They have that Australian temperature and weather forecasts that you may be looking for. You can find that ten day forecast, sun and moon times and their website updates every ten minutes as well. And I have heard of that Weather Channel before, as I think you can look up any weather forecast practically anywhere In the world on planet earth at their website. And aren’t they a tv channel as well? And I actually find myself visiting that weather.com website every so often, as when I am wondering about the weather, instead of looking out the window, finding that weather information can be just a website visit away.

A New Jersey Authority of Parking

Hey again bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. And in between reading those scary headlines about that BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and those other headlines of the latest earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes and other natural disasters, I find myself wondering what does it mean when a North Bergen Parking Authority give you a parking ticket person gives you a parking ticket, with no parking meter or other time keeping device in place at all as proof of the time you have parked, except their word in a debate with North Bergen polizei as enforcement who also complain of receiving parking tickets from the North Bergen, New Jersey Author of Parking for no reason at all. What’s that all about? Is this some sort of a parking ticket money racket or something? And then there’s something about a residential parking permit zone sticker to park on that street in that township of North Bergen, New Jersey in that in that county of Hudson in that country of America across from the river of that state of New York and borough of Manhattan, to mail in your payment in the midst of all of this or something like that. And I have also heard it said that power and authority breeds corruption, though what’s it like to stare corruption straight in the flesh, or faceless and be helpless against spiritual wickedness that lies in high places. And what’s that all about that I have also heard it said that New Jersey is a corrupt state. What does that mean? And I have also read that New Jersey residents suffer the highest tax burden in the country. What’s that all about again? And from what I recall, that state of New York has this same practice of ticketing cars for no reason at all except to generate finance and revenue for the state. And the state of what? And do these parking ticket for no reason at all except that one has a car to be ticketed practices reflect other parking authority ticketing practices around the country and world? And that North Bergen Parking Authority smart car in that photo above that those give you a parking ticket people use to get around park ticketing town and beyond, they seem to be electric drive and environmentally conscious to save the world from the use of petroleum oil rock. And what if anything does this have to do with a No Police State?

Cars

Hey bloggers, and this post does not happen to be about that oil spill, this post happens to be about cars and automobiles. You know those metal objects that human beings sit in that roll around town and beyond on wheels. Those objects seem to be everywhere these days. And I have seen those cars around town on the roads just about everywhere I can imagine throughout my travels here on planet earth. And from what I also can recall, those cars have been traveling around on the roads throughout planet earth since the beginning of time, or at least for a very long time. And what would life be like without those cars that human beings use to get around town and beyond from one place to another. And so this post happens to be about the lincoln mkx , Ford Fiesta , mercury mountaineer and hyundai tucson . And what else is there to say about these cars that has not already been said. And if you happen to be looking for these cars, you can find them at The Car Connection. You can also find new cars, used cars, classifieds for cars, photos of cars and much much more when it comes to cars at their website. There are also reviews for cars that you can read at their website as well. And with the invention of the internet, finding those cars and all about them can be just a website visit away

earth, end times, environment

And the Sea Became Blood

And in between reading those scary British Petroleum BP oil spill headlines that seem to be everywhere in the headline news lately and going about the daily routine, these headlines have me wondering about the Oilapocalypse, apocalypse, Armageddon, Hopi Prophecy, 2012, doomsday and if its the beginning of the end of the world again thing with titles and text having something to do with, and the third part of the sea became blood, the BP logo looks like the Nibiru Wormwood flower, that burning star falling from the sky in the book of Revelations, the east and west coast of North America may have to evacuate because of the oil spill, hurricanes may cover the world and poison the rivers and waters with toxins from the Gulf oil spill, it’s raining oil in Louisiana, the sea bed is cracked and oil is escaping from it, there’s a bubble of methane gas under the ocean floor creating dead zones with no oxygen for life to live, and a host of other religious, conspiracy, fanatic, frantic, if those are even the correct words to use thoughts. And so I thought to post one of those many, many videos to be found posted on YouTube related to this oil spill topic. Have a great day, if possible.

Design This Website

And welcome to the world of web 2.0 user generated content, the age of the internet and just about everything social media. And in case you’ve been in one of the those caves the past ten years or so, you may have heard by now that that thing called the personal computer, the internet and the web are just about everywhere on planet earth these days and times. And who would have thought that the day would arrive that seemingly just about everyone would have one of those computers to compute on for whatever reason or what not. And so along with those computers and internet land comes the website. And so one may ask, how do I get one of those websites and how do I find Local Search Engine Marketing to seo, as in search engine optimization up that website to put it into search engine heaven where it would be found by every person on planet earth to read. As the internet can be all about seo when it comes to websites. And I would imagine that there are lots of websites that are out there in cyberland that can design your website and take if from that seo graveyard and place it in seo heaven. And I would also imagine that the list of websites to be found out there in internetland who can give your website some cool designs and style can be found as well, and with the invention of the internet, finding that design for ones website is just a website visit away.

This Is What An Oil-Soaked Ocean Wave Looks Like

This is what an oil soaked wave looks like. Perhaps the scariest picture yet is this AP photo of an oil-spotted wave crashing just off Orange Beach, Alabama.

Pictures like this will decimate the beach crowd, even as publicity from Gulf states tries to reassure tourists. In this PR video from Orange Beach, a blond spokeswoman admits “some stretches of our beach today are seeing little signs of oil” — before drawing your attention to local golfing attractions

And in other thoughts….

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. Revelations 8:1. If you believe.

events, music

Make Music New York

And isn’t today Fathers Day in America? And also Sunday, that day of rest that has rolled around each week and year again. Or is that Saturday, the Sabbath. And yet I find myself blah blogging away. And in between reading those Revelations 8 and the third part of the sea became blood end of the world BP gulf oil spill doomsday headlines and YouTube videos, I find myself coming across music event listings for Make Music New York, that one day music celebration that takes place each year on June 21st throughout the streets of New York in hundreds of public spaces with free concerts from just about every musician one can think of like the play me I’m yours piano installations art project, mass appeal concerts to be held at venues like Lincoln Center, Central Park Summerstage, Punk Island, Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Park Slope, East Village, Union Square, Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Metropolitan Opera and many, many, many more. And there are similar Make Music events in other cities around the world on this day also. And in other music event listings to be found in that L Magazine, that culture and events listings guide to be found in those orange boxes on those street corners throughout the city of New York, the Northside Festival is happening in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn June 24-27th in that city of New York as well with concerts, showcases, benefit shows and performances from seemingly hundreds and hundreds of artists including The Albertans, Anamanaguchi, Apse, Au Revoir Simone, Bad Girlfriend, Chica Vas, Cloud Nothings, Cults, Darlings, Dinosaur Bones, The Doctors Fox, Dom, Eternal Summers, Eula, The Fiery Furnaces, Fucked Up, Golden Girls, Grails, Grandchildren, The Grates, Gray Young, The Great Unwashed, Grooms, The Gypsy West, High Places, The Hundred in the Hands, Islands, Les Savy Fav, Les Vinyl, Liars, Marie Stella, Memory Tapes, Men, Milagres (ex-The Secret Life of Sofia), MiniBoone, Mon Khmer, Moon Duo, Parenthetical Girls, Polvo, The Rabbits, Real Estate, Red Rooster, The Senors of Marseille, Shark?, Shoney Lamar, Sic Alps, The Smoking Popes, The Sundelles, Thao and Mirah with the Most of All (Thao Nguyen with Mirah), That Fleeting World, Titus Andronicus, True Womanhood, Twin Sister, Viernes, The Wave Pictures, Wavves, We Are Country Mice, Woods and many, many, many, many, many, many more.

A Gift

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of FriendGiftr. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey again bloggers. Gifts. Now I have always been one to like gifts, usually receiving them more than giving them, though the giving of those gifts can be just as rewarding as well. And you know what gifts are don’t you? As they are usually some kind of object sometimes meant as a token of appreciation or something that one usually receives for free or usually gives to someone else, or something like that.
And then there is the FriendGiftr. And in case you could be wondering what the FriendGiftr is, as I am, you can find it and all about it at Friendgiftr. They are America’s favorite gift cards where you can send giftcards from many different merchants and retailers including GAP, Dell, Macys and more to your friends and family, all online without ever having to leave home, or at least without ever having to leave a computer. And I should have sent one of these gift cards to a friend online instead of going to the store to buy it. And what’s really cool is that if your friend does not like the merchant giftcard you choose, then they can swap it for a different merchant. And what’s even cooler is that you can social media that gift card and send it from facebook, iPhones, Blackberries and Androids. With Friendgiftr, giving that friend a gift is just a website, iPhone, Blackberry or Android visit away.
