Hey bloggers, in case you’ve been under a rock or on planet Mars the past couple of months or so, or in case you haven’t heard the news by now, in which the oil spill news seems to be everywhere on planet earth lately. An oil company called BP has spilled some oil into the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico while doing that offshore drilling thing that oil and energy companies seem to be doing these days and times. And from what one sees in the news, it wasn’t just some drop of oil, it is now seemingly an endless uncontrollable well of oil gushing into the ocean somehow, possibly the size of the ocean itself or something that’s being called the biggest oil spill in the history of mankind that is eclipsing that other Exxon Mobil Valdez oil spill some time ago. And so the mere mention of this brings about Armageddon and apocalyptic images of the beginning of the end of the world to me, some where along the lines of 2012 and just plain old doomsday. And also those verses of Revelations from that book the bible comes to mind, “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.”, and that other verse also, “And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.”. And also that 7th sign of the hopi prophecy, “You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it”. And for the love of money, the earth seems as if it is now bleeding, literally if one were to look at the water in the ocean with all of those red streaks of oil in it. And this oil spill seems as if it could be endless and make its way around the worlds coastlines and could literally destroy the world somehow. How, I am not exactly sure. And that YouTube video that’s posted above seems to be one scary video amongst many other scary youtube videos to be found on that Broadcast Yourself video website YouTube in relation to that BP deepwater oil spill gulf oil leak. And the outcry amongst humanity seems to be endless at the moment in its appeal to end the BP oil spill. And an outcry could be a catch 22, the appeal to end the BP oil spill, to say no to oil, while most of the world seems to be dependent on oil. If only alternative fuels and energy could be found at the gas stations as well. And has Babylon fallen? And it seems to be a biblical and 7th Sign Hopi Prophecy being fulfilled, a sign of the last days, maybe. If you believe.
A Wedding
Hey Bloggers, and that month of June has found its way around again this year. And usually when I think of the month of June, I think of weddings, weddings and more weddings. And then there are the images of couples clad in those wedding outfits with those bouquets of flowers in some awesome wedding like setting to be joined in union happily ever after forevermore, or something like that. And so along with those weddings usually comes the wedding invites. You know, those invitations inviting people to your wedding. And I would imagine that with the invention of all things internet, that now one can buy those wedding invitations online and also be able to design their own wedding invitations by choosing from various colors or what not without ever having to leave home, or at least without ever having to leave a computer. And with some of those wedding invitation websites to be found out there in internetland, one can find some really cool wedding invites. And if you happen to have access to that world wide phenomenon called the internet, finding those wedding invitations can be just a website visit away.
A Nublu 8th Anniversary

Flowers
And on this day, I find myself blogging about flowers for some reason or another. You know those beautiful, fragrant colorful plants to be found growing in the ground here on planet earth. And what else is there to be said about flowers that has not already been said throughout time about these timeless objects. And from what I can recall, flowers have always been used for various occasions and just about any occasion one can think of ranging from weddings, funerals, parties and anything else in between, as what better way to mark an occasion that with flowers. And flowers make for great decorations and objects to grow in the garden as well. And then there are Cleveland Florist and other florists to be found throughout seemingly the world who sell these flowers if you happen to be looking to buy them. And florists shops can always be beautiful shops to look at with all of those flower arrangements to be found in them. And with the age of all things internet, finding those flowers has never been easier and can be just a website visit away.
Host This Web
Hey again bloggers, and in case you have been living in one of those caves for the past ten years or so, you may have noticed that those personal computers are now to be found just about everywhere here on planet earth, so much that it seems like it could be one of those space age superman like scenes where everyone is walking around with computers on their wrists like watches, fidgeting with some sort of high tech device every single moment of ones waking hour. And so along with the invention of those computers has also come along something called the internet, in case you haven’t heard by now. You know that television like device you may be reading at the moment, that’s full of lots of seemingly infinite information. And so also along with that internet, comes websites, those pages or maybe even something like television like channels one changes to watch different programs. And so if you happen to be looking for one of those websites, to go along with the internet on those computers, there’s the budget host, you know, one of those websites that hosts your website. And now with the invention of all things internet, finding and comparing that web host is just a website visit away.
A Deal
And when it comes to the world of shopping and going from store to store buying things and being one of those consumers, it can always be great when one finds some sort of deal when it comes to savings on buying those products. And I would think that the best deal when it comes to shopping would be free, and if it’s free, then its for me. Though that item to be found in that store isn’t always free, though it can be found at great savings. And then there’s Newegg Shell Shocker deals. And from what I also know as being one of those consumer of products and dwellers here on planet earth is that coupons can always be a a great deal when it comes to finding savings. And now with the invention of the internet, long gone or at least long lore ago have the age of the coupons to be found in the daily newspapers that you can tear out are or could be of yesteryear. Now one can find those coupons for shopping online at online stores to be found online. So welcome to the age of the internet and internet shopping with internet coupons. With the world wide web, finding those products at discounts can be just a website visit away.
Squat
Hey again bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. And so here on this day I find myself encountering that blaghers blah blog block again in search of something to post on this blog in an attempt to maintain content for it whenever possible in my blogaholicness. And so here’s an event and a video that I found interesting to post, as they seem as if they can be interesting adventures.
Roundtable On Political Squatting with Alan W. Moore and company
Matt Metzgar of the Lower East Side Squatter-Homesteader Archive Project, and New York artist Carla Cubit will speak about the Lower East Side squatting movement. Alan W. Moore will speak about “House Magic,” his research project on Occupied Social Centers in Europe, which is presently on display at Basekamp, at 723 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA.

Have a great blogging day.
Summertime
And so that season of the year here in North America finds itself summertime again that has rolled around each year according to that Gregorian calendar on the wall and the temperature of the weather outside, though I guess officially summertime doesn’t begin until the holiday of Memorial Day I think. And I also know it’s summertime because all of those store aisle displays have changed from heaters, shovels and ice for snow removal to beach balls, lawn furniture, bar b que grills and fans. And there is also a variety of ceiling fans to be found for the purpose of keeping oneself cool in the summer, for ventilation and a host of other purposes or what not. And I have seen the coolest designs of those ceiling fans that are to be found here on earth throughout my travels here on planet earth. And those fans are always interesting to look at, plus they give off an awesome breeze. And I have also seen other ways people use to keep themselves cool in the summer like the tried and true fire hydrant on the corner, swimming pools, beaches, the refrigerator, ice, and even just taking non stop cold showers. So whatever the method of staying cool this summer, have a great summer day.
New Jersey
And on this day finds itself another one of those Sundays that has rolled around again each week here on planet earth. That day of rest, the sabbath. Or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blaghing away for some reason. And so I have found myself in that state of New Jersey across the river from that city of New York in that country of North America a lot lately every so often for some reason or another. And so I thought to post some photos from that digital camera that I drag out of the closet every so often. And there are flowers, spring and more flowers to be found there to stare at. Have a great day of the sun day.
A New York Event
Hey again bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. And this blog seems as if it wants to turn into an events blog lately with all of these events it finds posted on it. I know it has been an event blog lately because I have posted a lot of events on this blog the past week or so. And so this following is yet another one of those weekly Jeff Stark Nonsense NYC list emails that I have somehow subscribed to and find myself receiving in that email inbox each week with a list of those cool, hip and seemingly underground parties and happenings in the area of New York City:

Welling Court Mural Project
The community is hosting an authentic NYC street party for the event. If you plan on joining the celebration, come on down with your favorite food, beverage, or street party fixings to share.
Welling Court Artists include: Alice Mizrachi, Beast, Chris Mendoza, Chris Stain, Celso, Cern, Cey Adams, CR, Cycle, Dan Witz, Darkclouds, Daryll Peirce, Don Leicht, Ellis G, Free5, Gaia, Garrison and Alison Buxton, Greg Lamarche, JMR, John Fekner, Lady Pink, Leon Reid, Matt Siren, M-City, Michael De Feo, Mr. Kiji, Pablo Power, Peripheral Media Projects, R. Nicholas Kuszyk, Remi/Rough, Ron English, Royce Bannon, Sofia Maldonado, Stormie Mills, Sweet Toof, Swoon, TooFly, Tristan Eaton, and Veng RWK.
The project represents a great pairing of individuals and groups interested in making their communities and the world a more engaged and creative place. Members of the Welling Court neighborhood in Queens wanted to beautify their neighborhood walls and enliven their surroundings and Brooklyn’s Ad Hoc Art, an arts organization known for supporting and expanding the accessibility of street art to the masses in NYC and throughout the world, was an perfect fit.
Ad Hoc’s vision was to showcase the diverse and rich history of artists driven by their passion for expression and dreams for a better world. The project’s roster represents over 50 years of the expansive and diverse history of street art, bringing together artists whose productivity spans from pre/graffiti legends to the latest movers and shakers. While a strong New York City contingency represents the city’s legacy as a bubbling brew of public expression, international players reflect the global impact of the movement that burst from the Big Apple.
The project begins at the intersection of Welling Court, 30th Avenue and 12th Street and extends north along 30th Avenue and then east along Main Avenue, across the street from the Two Coves Community Garden. The street of Welling Court is a beautiful reminder to the rich diversity that exists within New York City. The block is a melting pot representing people of African American, Greek, Peruvian, Ecuadoran, Mexican, Brazilian, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Italian origin, to name a few.
