Hey Bloggers, and on this day finds itself another one of those Sundays, day of the suns that has rolled around again according to that Gregorian calendar here on planet earth. That day of rest, day of God. Or is that Saturday that is the sabbath. And yet I find myself blah blogging away on this blog for some reason. And so for some reason I find myself blogging about the disadvantages of credit cards. You know, those wallet sized plastic cards that are usually to be found in someones wallet and they most likely have something to do with money, credit, debit and more money. And that card reminds me of the globalization of the world, a cashless society in these digital transactions of buying and selling days and times. And what is there to say about the disadvantages of credit cards. Well from what I read in the news about this item, with the invention of technology, identity theft seems to be the fastest way to get free money from someones else’s credit card and is on the rise. And for some reason that verse from the Bible comes to mind that goes something like “Save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast the number of man, the number of the beast, and his number is six hundred threescore and six, 666”.
An East Village Story
Hey Bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. The Villager, that local newspaper to be found in that neighborhood of the Lower East Side now called the East Village for real estate marketing purposes maybe, has an article in this weeks newspaper titled “New blog on block as N.Y.U., Times, team to get hyper”. And I know that article is in this weeks paper because that copy of that newspaper I got out of one of those yellow boxes on the street corner in that East Village neighborhood says so. And this article goes on to say something about the gentrification and genocide of that neighborhood the East Village, which seems as if it could be a reflection of a gentrification and changing of times around the globe maybe. And they say the only thing constant is change. And New York and beyond is ever changing. And so gone are the days of long lore ago from that squat or rot, bohemiaville, live free or die, anarchy, John The Communist and his save the word banners, Tompkins Square Park riots to save the world everywhere days from a seemingly war torn zone for freedomsville era of the East Village to what now seems as if it has become the era of hipsterville chi chi cafeboutiqueville, gentrification genocide of rent increases to where even the yuppies can’t afford the rents anymore, socialmediaholics, cellphoneaholics, computerholics everywhere days. And this article goes on again to say something about that web 2.0 social media user generated content phenomenon to where it now seems as if everyone, or at least every other person has one of those blogs, Facebook pages, YouTube pages, MySpace pages, Twitter pages, MyFace, MyPlace, SpaceBook, SpaceFace, SpacePlace, MyBook websites and so on and so on and so on. And so welcome to the world of high tech technology and internet everything, so much that these days and times seems as if it could be the generation of the ten second attention span of me, me and more media overload with all of these social media and communications advances. And maybe it could be that video killed the radio star who killed the television star, who killed the cassette tape star, who killed the CD Star, who killed the eight track star, who killed the VHS star, who killed the vinyl records star, who killed the I am not sure what the latest invention of popular culture communications device will be next star thing. And so back to that East Villager Newspaper article. And this article went on to say something like New York University, that University that seems to own all of New York, is starting a blog to be called the Local: East Village, or LEV with the New York Times, and that NYU told those bloggers Bob Arihood, John Penley, Clayton Patterson, Eden Brower, EV Grieve, as in East Village Grieve and other people from that neighborhood the East Village so. And this article also goes on to say that some of those people from that neighborhood are not so keen on this idea of New York University and the New York Times starting a blog to cover that news of the East Village for some reason or another, or something like that. And I guess maybe this has something to do with journalism, gentrificationicide and beyond, maybe. And those NYU students are to maintain this blog. And so welcome to the world of the blah blogosphere cyberworld where the list of blogs seems as if it can become a bazillion blaghs bloggers and more endless. And what was the world like before the invention of cyberworld. Have a great web 2.0 social media user generated content blogging day.
Time
Time, father time, if I could turn back the hands of time, time passes us by, those sticks that tell us what to do, to be twenty one forever, and a host of other thoughts and sayings there must be found to be said about the word time. And seemingly books, novels, films and movies have been written about this word time, as it is one of those things we will have with us always, the past, present and future. And then there are Howard Miller clocks, watches, time pieces, alarm clocks, grandfather clocks and lots of other devices that can tell us as human beings dwelling here on planet earth what time it is. And clocks seem as if they are one of those things and objects always to be found somewhere near, as in on this computer, on that wall or on that table. And from what I have seen throughout my travels here on planet earth, some of those grandfather clocks, grandmother clocks, wall clocks, atomic clocks, mantel clocks, cuckoo clocks, miniature clocks, alarm clocks, novelty clocks, world clocks and other kinds of clocks to be found in those stores are really cool to look at with their designs and colors. And that word time again, what is there to say about it that has not already been said in time.
The Learning Annex Internet Expo Again
And according to that Gregorian calendar, it is a Sunday on this day again, that day of rest, the Sabbath. Or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blaghing away for some reason. And so I found myself at that Learning Annex Internet Expo on this day with one of those free full day passes , at that Marriott Marquis hotel near Times Square in that City of New York, that I event that I blah blogged about a few days ago on this blog. And so I went to that expo in an attempt to network and learn a class my way to internet riches and also to network with other bloggers or would be bloggers in an attempt to leave those No Police State Girl business cards everywhere and to everyone in an attempt to get rich internet quick. Though with the lack of tables or booths placed anywhere for this purpose, instead I found myself leaving and placing those business cards on hallway floors, bathroom floors, elevator floors, water cooler tables, bathroom sinks and in bathroom stalls etc; in hopes to network and interact with other attendees at this expo other than the presenters, speakers and organizers at this event. And for who this advertising and marketing event is for, I am not exactly sure. And so that catalogue for this event to be found on a table there and the cover of that program reads something like:
The Learnng Annex Internet Expo. America’s Largets How to Make Money Expo. with Twitter Co-Creator, Dom Sagolla (wow!), Get 28 million viewers, Dmitry Shapiro, Huffington Post, Jonah Peretti, Sell anything with video, Mike Koenigs, Six figure blogging, Lockhart Steele (now that one sounds interesting I think…), Start A T-shirt Line, Buy, sell and profit on eBay, Get a number one Google reading, Andrew Hazen, Make money with iPhone Apps, Dana Farbo, Get Free advertising, Fabrice Grinda (And if it’s free, then its for me, maybe.), Publish your ebook, Susan Danziger, Money for your idea, Jay Levy, Internet Businesses for women, Karla Lightfoot, Start a seven figure internet business, Nate Richardson (Seven figures you say?), Get free publicity, Steve Krakauer, Sell your content, Murray Hidary, Blog, podcast and grow rich (wow again!), Scott Paton, Attract anything with the secret, David Schirmer and Raise money for any business, Morgan Howard.

The Internet Expo
And The Internet Expo is happening at the Marriott Marquis in that city of New York this Sunday. I know because that free admission ticket that a friend of mine just sent me says so. And I am not exactly sure what their schedule of speakers, workshops, panels or seminars may read like, although being one of those blogaholics that I find myself being sometimes, I plan to go to that expo, as it has something to do with the internet, blogging, websites and more blogging. And so let’s see what that schedule may read like. Well according to that email I received and their website, that expo reads something like “The Learning Annex Internet Expo. Learn everything you need to know about making money online in one day”. Making money online you say? Get rich internet quick? Well if it’s free than it’s for me, maybe.

Candles
Candles. And I have seen those objects around throughout my travels here on planet earth. And those objects usually give off light with one of those flames that can sometimes even symbolize peace, bliss or even nirvana. And one can sometimes come across them in peoples homes, temples and even at stores for sale in various shapes, designs, colors and even scents. And from what I recall, those candles can also make for some great hours of meditation, candle light dinners and many a party festive atmosphere decorations and the like. And with the invention of technology, some of those candles are pure forms of artwork to behold indeed. And now with the invention of technology and everything internet and beyond, one can now buy those candles online without ever having to leave home, or at least without ever having to leave a computer. And what better way to buy a Candle than online, maybe. And with the age of technology and everything internet, buying those candles online is just a website visit away.

Mobile Marketing
Hey Bloggers, welcome to the age of the twenty first century. And unless you could still be stuck in the stone age of a hundred years ago before the invention of modern space age high tech superman communications technology, you should be aware that cell phones and those other high tech handy devices that everyone, or at least every other person seems to be wandering around town and fidgeting with, are very much a part of our every day lives. And one could actually wonder how did humanity ever exist without all of these cell phones, computers and other electronic devices.

And New Orleans is having a New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. I know because that copy of this weeks Village Voice says so. And so I thought to post this announcement on this blog because hey, it’s less writing sometimes in my attempt to maintain content for this blog whenever possible.
And that ad to be found in that weekly seemingly underground aboveground paper in New York with its bold yellow color and drawing of a dancing person made of music says something like “Come Marching In.
