What happens, then...

...,when, the Internet becomes a source of fascination all to itself and unto its own?

When will the eventual confluence of information from disparate sources meet, tangle, unravel and form again to make a tapestry of truth we can all understand and appreciate? 

As the glaciers melt along with barriers between people commerce and trade, ocean levels may rise, weather may play havoc and we will be forced to become New Yorkers again one and all rather than Californians on a good day off.

Dont bother if you cant understand this just yet.

But this is fascinating unto itself, and as I find it, so you may very well find it the same way too.

If I were a DJ
Mood:  crushed out

If I were a DJ, and this blog were a radio station

I would have to say this one goes out to all my friends and enemies who frequent the Black Flag  Cafe

think of it as my way of saying I hope some of you dont flex too long on your own muscles in the mirror and start to begin to lose your touch..

there might be something to be said in the danger of complacency setting in when counter-culture becomes the norm

rezrides.net

 ...but you wont find me saying anything about it here!

Thought the Cafe could use some rev.

 

RYP you need a V-neck chequered sweater.

Please note, all manufacturing companies in countries in the EU must comply with new regulations to cease all advertising and labeling in dual metric and US measurements by Jan 1st,2010 and label all products in British Imperial measurements only.

Meanwhile all the woman of the world can hereby unite by fitting in all sizes regardless contintental differences.

That, from the world of fashion in  the country of Spain. Also recently bombed again by ETA Basque seperatists but hardly would have noticed in between an oil tanker truck explosion in iraq and Columbian drug lords hidden cash finds.

Girl hangs her self in suicide

ENTERTAINMENT! 

 

In the news today, LA Hollywood film and television executives were virtually overwhelmed and swarmed with emails and phone calls yesterday, sending secretarys and assistants home early and overwhelming email servers. Some offices closed early or put the phones onto answering machines. Thousands of writers and wanna be writers and their agents had unindated busy executives with film production scripts and storyboard ideas. The premise of all of these phone calls had one common theme; picture this: a female astonaut travels a thousand miles by car wearing a diaper to stalk a woman at an airport to end a bitter developing rivalry for the affections of another fellow astronaut. Frankly I cant wait! Heres how I would do it: opening scene a stampede of media personnel including tv cameras,flashbulb photographers and reporters wait outside a courtroom and jail and descend upon the exiting woman and her lawyer....yes folks, the stage is set. I hope at least its a movie of the week!

--

But here , closer to home, theres another sadder story that sadly too also wont be considered for a MOTW>.

While well trained people and star astronauts wrestle in their lofty idealed minds of the passionate lengths they will go to achieve love and bliss even if it means following paths of the utmost danger, more simpler down to earth scenarios with more heart and soul ensconsed in them than soap-opera/ish flashy juicy tid bit news items about the love deluded space travelers.

 Stories that will get backshelved, neglected, forgotten...will never make it to front pages of peoples minds as long as they remain endlessly concerned with other such items.

Yes, the ending of a career for a NASA employee who travels to space vis a vis criminal action is a sad story indeed.

 

But heres one of the saddest stories you will read all week.

Despite no movies of the week, it's one I hope is not so quickly forgotten and left alone among the detritus of the fallout from space astronauts in love. Most likely and probably and most certainly destined to be a movie of the week.

I hope it is too! Besides  these sad stories we encounter .......we still feel that rousing need to feel entertained from time to time. As Hollywood knows, sometimes its so easy to pluck the stories from real life and the news.

 But there are many stories we know we know we know that will be left un-told.

A slap in the face of every Canadian
Globe and Mail, Canada - 4 Feb 2007
The catastrophe of native life in Canada is old news. Decades pass, reports are drafted, articles are published, and nothing happens. ...

(...or is that a slap in the face to every poster at the Black Flag Cafe including its ex-Canadian owner ROBERT YOUNG PELTON?)

 

--

I see beauty in the eyes of youth. IN the graceful lines of a young girls gentle face, I see promise and potential...I see the abandoned dreams of every person who has sought for a better vision for themselves for others and their country that which includes ALL of its inhabitants...and I see those abandoned dreams being re-visited...that innate precious potential ressurected before its too late...before in five, ten, twenty years all we see are the faint outlines of promises we made at night and had forgotten in the cruel light of day...and we wrestle with concepts and arguments of yesteryear..contemplating into wee hours and getting sleepy merely talking about what we could have done, what we should have done..and what we would have done if only this or only that had not supplanted our more most precious of wishes

the beauty I see reflects the truest of bountiful and limitless

joy that is ensconsed in the souls hearts and minds of its most original inhabitants, the people with the  most clearest and most vivid and best sense of appreciation for land they have called home which we have not really yet sought to appreciate at the same level having been steered b our own preconceptions of beauty and richness

This is a wide rich land and its most accurate reflection is held within the gaze of the peoples who have returned its affection and love of the land with the upmost sincerity and depth since a time immemorial

This is how and why I have come to see such beauty held within the eyes of youth. I hope its our optimism and reverence for our own lost sense of innocence that is contained within generations we can either  fail or champion...that emboldens us every day to make choices even in the smallest of ways that reflect this affinity and desire to share this blessing of earth and song that is composed in this land ..with results that improves our own image of ourselves..ones in which we make all children who live to inherit our efforts....never endingly proud of our efforts to right what was once wrong.

 I see the reflection of the beauty of the land in the eyes of a beautiful native girl; a sharp adherence to the love of the land that has preceded her by generations. May this beauty grow every day and may we contribute it to its potential in every way every day, like Mother Nature has blessed this land and allowed her peoples to survive every day.....

Meet Lizabell. She is 15...

Now Playing: Why cant my mood be ?????
Topic: News on News



 

Dear Reader,

The most difficult thing thing for me to do right now , and perhaps the worst thing...would be for me to act under a pretense that all is oaky doaky and I am fine in every way shape and form.

Not far from the truth, if all things are considered about what else is happening out there in the big world.

The last thing I want to let on about right now is how much I hate being banned from the Black Flag Cafe , or how much I miss hanging out there.

Nothing could be both further from the truth as well as the last concern I have on my mind.

Most people who have  ever frequented the BFC at one point will tell you that it never stays the same, and never reverts back to what it once was. Be that as it may be, I dont see anyone posting photos about riots in Mexico at all.

 So whether or not its just a dry spell over there, or if the convivial atmosphere is one where people just really really reallly enjoy talking politics and policies in between reading inane posts from drunkards,scabbards and radical racial demogogues

..I really couldn't care less. Now I know this blog entry reads like a page from a diary, and is not what a blog should read like.

But I suppose when stuff happens in life, I wish I had the quiet and gentle reserve like RYP does and also Kurt. I mean when I have bad background material happening in my life, stuff more suitable for a diary and not a blog, I should be glad I get to write about it and purge my feelings in a way.

Looking at the posters at the Black Flag Cafe, I no longer have to

self-recriminate for anything I might have said while there. 

But right now, like tonight, I am suffering a set back, someone like posters Kurt and RYP of the BFC would probably laugh at its level of seriousness, and deservedly for me too and so at that.

But I have to laugh at them my self too when I look at their site ...it seems so crude that this is not just very poor art imitating a bad life and stumbling all over itself in the process.

Its worse than that. Its only the level of virtualness that makes it laughable...so I have to laugh when I think of the reasons they banned me when I look at what they are left to contend with.

Basically, for whom ever is interested..it means if you think I would

have hung around just for all that youre just kidding me...far more over than I ever EVER would have gone in kidding my own self on-line.

 Let get back to riots in Mexico. Its like anything else, like when I look at the world around me, it may always be worse off somewhere else....and when I look at the Flag I can see it can hardly get any worse there....

but as in Mexico, so there it can be with the BFC. Theres enough hope in me to hold some out for them both equally. 

Thanks for reading.

Yours truly,

Mach

Editor/contributor(lol)

PS Looked for the first time toay at my blog at a net cafe and see it LOOKS very very different on different browsers and settings. That said, I EDIT and create with MOzzila Firefox and now fatefully realize sometimes the layout as planned to appear with my brower, doesnt always faithfully convey exactly what I wish to say.

 

In a perfect virtual world, I guess that means things would be diff-e-rent.

IN a recent survey in which 8.5 million people have been reported to have participated,  Beyonce was named the Top Fantasy Girlfriend
Included in the top ten was model

Alessandra Ambrosio

 

 

 

 

singer Shakira   

 

 

 

 

 

TV host Maria Menounos

and actresses Angelina Jolie and Elisha Cuthbert. Other women who were voted into the top 10 included supermodel Adriana Lima and Jessica Biel.

What does one expect from ask men though?

 But fantasy?! I'll say! Like 'get real' or what? Surely the voters might consider the maintenance level of ever having a real relationship with any one of these top notch pop glammarazzi go-getters.

I guess thats why in the poll it all boils down to fantasy.

Losing your self in fantasy doesn't make allowance for real world considerations ...but I know who I'd pick.

 

Single moms are real heroes in Jolie’s eyes!
