A Blog Post

And after what seems like decades and centuries of blogging on this blog in that Internet web 2.0 social media user generated content era of technology and inventions, I find myself encountering what seems like blah blog bloggers writers block again as I ask myself, “What do I blah blog about today on this bloggers blog out there in the bloggersworld of a bazallion other blogs?” And sometimes it seems as if I could use one of those Internet gurus to help solve this debacle of finding and maintain content for this blog for some reason. And maybe I could consider hiring one of those Craigslist interns in the writers wanted section, or maybe I could ask a thousand other people to help me maintain this blog. Or maybe I could consult one of those online tutorials about “How to maintain your blog” somewhere out there in the internetland world. Is there a way to magically find content for this blog? And that seems like it could be one of those blogger guru internet questions to be answered to me. And what if I do not post on this blog again for blogger burnout or some other reason and it remains postless. And what’s the purpose or reason for having a blog again, I forget sometimes. And so I find myself posting one of these posts on this blog again on this day that really seems to be about blogging. Have a great blogging day.

tag heuer formula 1

Time, father time, those two sticks who tell us what to do, the only thing constant is change and time. And there must be lots of more sayings about that old word time. And I find myself following time all the time with clocks and watches of some sort. And then I find myself with one of those watches every so often to follow that thing called time. And watches have always been great as timepieces and a really convenient way to tell time on the go. There are many kinds of watches out there to be found, and you can find them at TheWatchery.com.

It’s about time.

money, psychiatry, world

Trader Woes

And after having went to that popular New York supermarket Trader Joes, who can’t seem to keep their shelves stocked fast enough, I thought of this day as Trader Woes as the New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street Dow Jones economy seems to be tanking and going downhill on this day, so much that the Federal Reserve can not seem to print up enough money fast enough to cover it all. And is this the beginning or the end of a recession depression. And maybe everyone could squat the world, free the land and be free, or at least housing could be free. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible? And in other thoughts, That “The Conscious Objector”, “Life, Liberty and…Is America Driving You Crazy?” article written by Amanda Park Taylor in this weeks L Magazine, that events magazine that is to be found just about everywhere in those corner boxes on the streets in that City of New York, is really interesting. And those Amanda Park Taylor articles are always really cool to read to me as they seem to be environmental related and seek to save the world and planet mother earth. And this weeks article seems to be an exception in that it mentions psychiatry and its hazards, and dared to go where no man has gone before, or usually goes before in the media, in speaking about psychiatry. And that is awesome to me. And her article went on to say something about one in four college students is now taking antidepressants, a quarter of the soldiers returning from Iraq are diagnosed with mental illness, a huge growing percentage of children are on psychoactive medications, for either depression, or, more commonly ADD/ADHD, and the overall incidence of “mental illness” has nearly doubled since 1987, when Prozac was introduced, and that the drug industry has a lot of power and are not into alternative therapies where there is no money to be made from insurance. And her article goes on to say many more interesting things about medication and the pharmaceutical drug industry. And I am against psychiatry. Psychiatry Kills. Psychiatrists and their treatments are mass murderers in white coats, as descendants of Nazi Germany where psychiatry and the mental death system was born, maybe. Abolish forced psychiatric treatment. For all things mental health human rights and alternatives to the mental health death system, MindFreedom is a good website to visit. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State?

Drugs In The Water?

The news says there is another hurricane on this day toward the country of America, and many people have fled their homes. And what must it mean to leave ones home and to uproot ones self. And then there was a Yahoo News headline yesterday that read “AP Enterprise: Drugs affect more drinking water”. Hugh? Now that article sounds like something straight out of a George Orwell 1984 science fiction horror story novel. And this article went on to say something like different states in America have different trace amounts of pharmaceuticals in their drinking water supplies. Hugh? And is this the work of the American Psychiatric Association or the American Medical Association. Now I have heard of ozone in the water such as it is in Europe, and even that fluoride that has something not so good in it, but drugs? And I know that psychiatry kills, that the pharmaceutical industry is bigger than the war industry, that psychiatrists are mass murderers in white coats and that involuntary forced psychiatric treatment should be abolished, but this sounds like some sort of an extreme. And will the nation and all of humanity, at least in America at the moment, now be a pharmaceutical drugged up nation. And how is it possible to drug up all of the water supply and humanity and turn them into walking zombies straight out of the movie Night of the Living Dead anyway. Did someone accidentally drop a gallon of bug spray into the water supply, wherever the water supply is. And I am not sure if even the greatest historian, prophet, Nostradamus, astrologer or science fiction novel writer could have predicted a headline like this, maybe. And it could be a Prozac, Thorazine, chemical bug spray lobotomy, tardive dyskinesia tic nation indeed with a headline like this. And what does one do, not drink the water, or perish? Or maybe one could drink bottled water only, and then those plastic bottles seem to have their own environmental hazard horror stories going with those polycarbonate phyto chemicals leaching from that plastic bottle into its content. And those water filters can probably only filter so much bug spray and psychiatric drugs when it comes to filtering out drugs and working miracles, maybe. Oh, and there’s always the creaks, streams, rivers, lakes, oceans and the nearest body of water one could drink straight out of, maybe. And what could be next, could there be some sort of DSM III manual label created for this drug the water syndrome called “waterphreniaosis” or something to generate even more money for those treatments from that water for that mental death industry. And for everything mental patients liberation, human rights and alternatives to psychiatry, Mind Freedom is a good website to visit. And how do those psych trickery eugenics companies possibly benefit and profit from drugging the water supply I cannot understand or comprehend anyway, as the water supply does not usually discriminate as far as I know. And is there some sort of answer for this science fiction novel headline. And what does this have to do with A No Police State?

News, philosophy

Thoughts

“Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten”. And this is a quote that I came across while surfing on that thing called the internet on this day. And that forum was discussing that the bees are still dying, and it gets me to wondering abut that colony collapse disorder it is being called and Albert Einstein’s quote “”If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” And in other thoughts I find myself blah blogging about on this blog on this day, someone sent a MySpace message today to My MySpace Page in that inbox email and their message said “something, something, something I can not exactly remember and…. if you’re not mad, you not paying attention”. And I think that may have been in response to my No Police State Girls No Police State song. And I thought that message was interesting. And in other thoughts again, what’s up with that big “Save Domino” sign in big red neon letters on the side of some big building that you can see from afar on that J and M train as it crosses the Williamsburg Bridge going to and fro between Manhattan and Brooklyn. And that building used to be the Domino sugar factory as I remember it, and maybe it is to become yet another victim of the city’s housing crisis, gentrification and genocide, maybe. And is that a sign of things to come or things yet to come. Have a great day.

And there must be lots more different kinds of ways to use those DYMO label makers. DYMO has lots of tips and advice for New Years resolutions, National Organization Month, labeling crafts and hobbies, how to keep kids organized and back to school time on their website.

dance, events, gardens

The Sustainability Project

And for some reason this blog seems as if it wants to be about events lately, because hey, it’s less writing sometimes, maybe. And on this day is that sabbath day of rest or is that Saturday? And I find myself blogging about events again. And somehow I wound up in that Lower East Side Loisada neighborhood that now seems to be called The East Village for real estate marketing purposes maybe, and found my way to that Howl Festival that is taking place today in Tompkins Square park. And then there was that cornfield dance that was taking place today at the 6th Street and Avenue B Community Garden today also, whose event is in those photos above that I attempted to take from my vantage point. And that event was a dance installation for The Sustainability Project, keep us in the green. Their dancers, artists and musicians were Ellen Cornfield, Hope Davis, Lindsay Fisher, Jonathan Fredrickson, Megan Krauszer, Ellie Kusner, Ryan Mason, Caitlin Scranton, Emily Stone, Welf, Brahim Fribgane and Andreas Brade. And the Sustainability project is a series of performances by cornfield dance to be presented in a variety of alternative spaces throughout New York City. And if you have ideas for places to perform in the city. let them know. And as their name my imply, go green, it’s the new thing. Help save planet mother earth. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

Subway Musicians

NYC Sound Tracks

Hey Bloggers, today seems to be that day of labor holiday in the country of America. Workers of the world unite. And so I find myself posting this video of NYC Soundtracks, Five Boroughs, 16 Musicians,
One Superstar, that is a series of competitions to find New York City’s favorite subway musicians. They are looking for the best sounds from the underground and you can be the judge. Join the search for New York City’s greatest subway musicians, Sundays on MSG and MSG.com. And so I thought to post this video of the Drumadics, band who performs as part of that NYC Sound Tracks Series and also as part of the Arts For Transit, Metropolitan Transit Authority Music Under New York Program. And that band subway rocks. And they are to be found in this video somewhere. Have a great music day.
