And even when it seems as if the world is falling down around me, I still find myself blah blogging away for some reason. And this is one of those posts where I really have no idea of what to blagh about. That bloggers block again. And this could be another one of those random thoughts blog entries yet again. And so I find the phrase communist architecture written down in one of those scribble books I have around for one of those 50 signs you’re a blogaholic signs that I have blah blogged about in times past. And so what exactly does the phrase communist architecture mean. Does that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for that. As I heard someone say a while ago “Gee that building looks ugly, like it is designed like a prison” or something like that. Was communist architecture designed to be oppressive and not so beautiful looking on purpose to keep in with the oppressive mood of its inhabitants of artists, the poor and the like maybe, housing designed to dampen ones spirits. Is it just meant to mean most urban cities and that cookie cutter home depo strip mall effect look maybe. Is it those public housing buildings, tenements, or any building in general. I would like to see if Wikipedia really does have an entry for this word, hold on a second…… Well the term communist architecture does seem to exist, used in conjuction with places like Berlin, Prague, Russia and something like “Communists left many ugly legacies to the Czechs; most visibly to its urban landscapes…..”. Well what does a communist architecture look like? Is it the tree of life? Hold on another second as I try to look for one of those photos to put in this post as in the photo above….. Now I’m not trying to be funny, as some of those photos of communist architecture I just photoed up on this computer look really beautiful of those buildings like castles and the like and some look downright drabby like factories and the like. So maybe communist architecture reaches a whole wide range of looks. And whatever this communist architecture may mean or look like, have a great communist architecture day.

Murphy’s Law
Hey bloggers, and so I find myself running out of things to blah blog about again on this day in an attempt to maintain content for this blog whenever possible. And what do those other bloggers out there in bloggerland do when bloggers block arises. Is there an internet guru for this? And what does that phrase “Murphy’s Law” mean. And I sure did find myself singing the words to that Murphy’s Law song the other day. some lyrics to the tune of “Got it all together don’t you baby, Murphy’s Law, sure out to get you.” And I think it has something to do with whatever can go wrong will go wrong. And so let me go see what that internet bible dictionary Wikipedia has to say abut this word, hold on a second…..And sure enough Wikipedia has an entry for it saying something like “Although often equated with Sod’s law, it can be seen as a special case of this more general tenet, which holds that the most inconvenient turn of events is the most likely, or whichever course of action you may take, the Fates will mock you for the choice you make. Murphy’s law is sometimes strengthened, as Finagle’s law”. Or more so, as: “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way. The law’s name supposedly stems from an attempt to use new measurement devices developed by Edward Murphy. The phrase was coined in adverse reaction to something Murphy said when his devices failed to perform”. And so there seems to be part of the meaning of that phrase in whatever it may mean.
Mardi Gras
Hey bloggers, is today Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, that New Orleans celebrate and party once a year day. I am wondering because all of the advertisements around me on this day I think says so. And there seems to be Mardi Gras parties listed everywhere in the newspapers. And what is the meaning of this day or holiday anyway. As that word Mardi Gras sounds as if it could be a latin or french word maybe. And is this day a masquerade for someone or something of some sort. Does Wikipedia, that internet bible dictionary have an entry for this word and the meaning of all things about and behind it. And this day of Mardi Gras seems to be the colors yellow, purple and green I think. And whatever this phrase may mean, have a great celebrate and party Mardi Gras day.
This File Extension
Hey bloggers, and its the age of everything technology and computers again. And who could have predicted that one day seemingly every other person would have one of those personal computers. And with those personal computers comes technical stuff like kml. And in case you could be wondering what kml is, you can find out all about it and other file extensions at file extension library. They are an online encyclopedia for just about every type of file extension for those computer files you can think of as they are all descriptions and definitions of file extensions all the time.
Powerhouse Books
And it is Sunday on this day, that day of rest. Or is that Saturday, the Sabbath. And yet I find myself blaghing away. And I remember blah blogging about PowerHouse Books sometime a while ago on this blog. And it was for that book that was all the rage titled “Tompkins Square”, a black and white photography book by Q. Sakamaki and essay by Bill Weinberg that appeared in memoriam of the 20th Anniversary of the Tompkins Square Park Riots in that Park, that park everywhere in that former New York City neighborhood of the Lower East Side, that is now called the East Village for real estate marketing purposes maybe. And that book rocked. And this time Powerhouse Books, or is it Powerhouse Arena is having an art exhibit called “2,191 Days and Counting” curated by Maya Joseph-Goteiner and Chere Krakovsky to benefit Iraq Veterans Against the War. And there are a hundred artists in that show. I know because the flyer that they have on their website says so. And there will be art and performances as part of the community’s response to the continuing Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. And videos will be a part of this exhibition also. And some of those artists and performers include Danya Abt, Grace Ann Alfiero, Waleed Ashad, Carol Ashley, Perry Bard, Nina Berman, Wafaa Bilal, Jean Christian Bourcart, Sherrard Bostwick, Orna Bradshaw, Pam Butler, Doris Caçoilo, Drew Cameron, Damian Catera, Sarawut Chutiwongpeti, Susanna Coffey, Michael Courvoisier, Carla Cubit, Larry Cyr, Peter Delman, Alyssa Dreyfus, Elise Engler, Danielle Fotopoulos, Marilyn Freeman, Joy Garnett, Ariel Goldberg, Sam Gould, Aaron Glantz, Lori Grinker, Fariba Hajamadi, Tara Hughes-Hall, Rene Farkass, Basem Hassan, Diane Hodack, Aaron Hughes, Lanna Joffrey, Andrew Ellis Johnson, David Joseph-Goteiner, Wonder Koch, Joyce Kozloff, Dorothy Krakovsky, Jason Laning, Tyler Lee Zabe, Ju-Pong Lin, Ardele Lister, Melissa Macalpin, Kyla Mathis-Angress, Suzanne McClelland, Steve McCurry, Dato Mio, James Nachtwey, Nobuho Nagasawa, Aron Namenwirth, Farah Nosh, David Opdyke, Alexander Optivion, Zach Osif, Franc Palaia, Paul Park, Caroline Parker, John Paul, Kenneth Pietrobono, Grace Graupe-Pillard, Lucian Read, Paul Root, Martha Rosler, Erika Rothenberg, Safa Samiezade-Yazd, Susan Silas, Elin O’Hara Slavick, Susanne Slavick, Qais Al-Sindy, Joan Snyder, Molly Snyder-Fink Chrysanne Stathacos, Jon Turner, Betsy Van Die, Christopher Vongsawat, Nathaniel Ward, AJ Wilhelm, Sarah Nelson Wright, Agnes Wszolkowski, Suyeon Yun, Tyler Zabel, The Artists Against The War, The Combat Paper Project and more. And this event rocks. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State? Have a great art day.
Another Interesting Email
Hey bloggers, and this seems like one of those days. Whatever that day could be. And the following is another one of those emails that was sent to me that was sent from someone else that was sent from someone else and so on and so on and so on. And this email seems sort of funny, or at least it was meant to be jokes I guess.
One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a
Christmas gift. The next year, he didn’t buy her a gift at all. When she
asked him why, he replied, “Well, you still haven’t used the gift I
bought you last year!” And that’s when the fight started…..
My wife walked into the den & asked “What’s on the TV?”I
replied “Dust”.
And that’s when the fight started…..
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.She is not happy with
what she sees and says to her husband, ‘I feel horrible; I look old, fat and
ugly. I really need you to pay me acompliment.’The husband replies,
‘Well…. your eyesight’s damn near perfect!’ And that’s when
the fight started…..
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She
said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200in about 3
seconds.’I bought her a scale. And that’s when the fight started…..
I asked my wife, ‘Where do you want to go for our anniversary?’It
warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.’Somewhere I
haven’t been in a long time!’ she said.So I suggested, ‘How about
the kitchen?’ And that’s when the fight started….
My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, ‘Do you want to have sex?”No,’ she
answered.I then said, ‘Is that your final answer?’She didn’t even
look at me this time, simply saying ‘Yes.’So I said, ‘Then I’d
like to phone a friend.’ And that’s when the fight started….
I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95. Instead,
she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her
look better at night than the cold cream. And that’s when the fight
started…..
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order
first.’I’ll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.’He said,
‘Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”Nah, she can order for
herself.’ And that’s when the fight started…..
Have a great jokey day.
Friday the 13th
Hey bloggers, and on this day is Friday the thirteenth again. A day in what some could see as bad luck, depending on how you look at it, maybe. And I have written about this day in times past on this blog as follows:
And it just occurred to me from looking at the date on this computer, that tomorrow, (Actually today, now…), is Friday the 13th according to that Gregorian Calendar. And how many times throughout the year does that supposedly bad luck number occur throughout the calendar year. And I realize that from blah blogging on this blog for over a year now that some dates, days, holidays and times just keep repeating themselves throughout the year, almost as if it becomes the same day, different year. And so the following is a post that I posted on this blog sometime ago when it was Friday the thirteenth, Good luck:
Again I seem to be finding myself running out to things to blah blog about. And I find myself writing about events and a lot of holidays just to come up with ideas of something to write about for this blog. And how do the other bloggers in the blogosphere do it, especially the bloggers with a thousand blogs. Again I can barely maintain one blog, yet alone four or five blogs as I see a lot of others bloggers maintain. And so today the thought of the day is another holiday is here, or a significant date on the calendar has arrived. The day after tomorrow (not the movie), is Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious? Can you see things from beyond and out of the ordinary? If you are superstitious you might want to consider not getting out of bed or leaving home, for isn’t the number 13 suppose to be considered bad luck? According to the Secret Language of Birthdays, the most misunderstood card in the Tarot is the 13th card of the Major Arcana, Death, which rarely is to be taken literally but signifies a letting go of the past in order to grow beyond limitations, metamorphically. Those born on the 13th of the month are ruled by the number 4 (1+3=4), and by the planet Uranus which is both erratic and explosive. The number 4 typically represents rebellion, idiosyncratic beliefs and a desire to change the rules. the number 13 is a powerful number which does carry the responsibility of using its power wisely or inviting self destruction. Well that is the number 13, but what about Friday the 13th, what does that mean? Or maybe you would want to leave home this day, but watch out for black cats, broken mirrors, ladders and cracks in the sidewalk. Happy Friday the 13th.
