WorkCLass Corner/Sids

Working Class Corner/Selling at Sids

 

   I've been working for a minimum wage paycheck at Sids Surplus for coming up on a year now.  For the year and 4 months that I had no paying job, clinic I looked for work, symptoms and tried to sell things.  In my past I got work from hanging out where I wanted work, or with people I wanted to work with.  Mostly on line I have been hanging out with the engineers of CR4.  No paying work has come out of that hang out, but I have some friends and followers from my writings there.

   If there was some income coming into Transcendia.org through the "donate" button, I'd be spending it on getting the website here really rocking.  There are things in particular that I would like to sell, like batteries, and shipping container shelters, and exoskeletons, and communications devices, like radios.

   I'd like to have a Transcendian Bank, and a Transcendian Insurance company, and in the real world, control of an airport.

   General ideas for Transcendian Government have been written up in the passport.  Still there are some nuts and bolts tweeks that are really called for.  I have an angry on line friend from CR4 that may well be filing here soon on this subject we discussed to the point I was for a technocratic anarchistic, republic sort of thing.  As Founder I have appointment powers.  Once I am dead these powers are not easy to use.

    Still the way things are I shall be making some appointments.  So far I have appointed Garth Hoyman to some position, though I haven't well named the office.  The story of the rise and fall of his bio fuel business is one we need to know of.  Often he has helped me at some of my technical failures.

   Hopefully we will solve a filing problem.

   At Sids in Carrboro, NC there is an incredible amount of history for sale.  This ain't Wal Mart.  Many a visitor treats the place like it was a Museum enough so they ought to be charged to enter the store proper, and they know it.  There might be a Prop Shop in LA that could be as much a museum, as a Prop Shop.

    Right now I'm trying to sell the cubby lockers, and a Lekolite I put back together, and my art of course.  There is the Diving Helmet of brass for 600.00 bucks too, I'd like to sell along with the suit of armor for 25 hundred.  But mostly we sell stuff that is real inexpensive in the 20 to 40 dollar ranges as high dollar.

    Got a complete Kodak Brownie set from way back for 250.

    We got two slide projectors that I am recommending we do not sell cheap.  No more are being made.  I consider them good rental machines.  Lamp blowouts are a problem.  For amateurs the rental is one thing, for if the lamp blows they just have to stop their show and that's that, but for professionals doing a show with the machine it better work, and if the lamp blows they need at the least a spare so as to continue.  Means I need to charge enough to cover the blowouts, which cost a minimum of 25 bucks.

     Christmas comes but once a year, but everyday is Trick or Treat!

     Halloween is coming up, and we rent out many uniforms or costumes, besides selling clothes, masks, and other stuff for parties during Halloween. 

Working Class Corner/Fuck It I can’t figure it out

Working Class Corner.

     I can't figure out why things are so horrible.  Just doesn't seem like it has to be.  I mean women have jobs where they don't do much that is all that hard.

Now that I can't lift steel beam over my head and stuff like that, anesthetist I sell things, buy or make lighter things than houses or buildings.

     The other day I was thinking about how when I was a teenager I did participate in the idea and live with this feeling that my life was a movie.

     Now I know my life is not a fucking movie.  I now longer attempt to live it as if it was some movie, abortion since I want no soundtrack.  Hate listening to the radio stations that play music, and turn the NPR off if someone shows up as a customer.

     Now I wish I had taken the bad paintings my father did.  This is because I have recently done some painting drawings that have the heavy black lines I saw in some of the paintings.  My painting cartoon of my trip to Wal Mart as prescribed by the doctor is a story.  To tell the story in a brush drawing it ended up hard black 3/16th lines and a yellow wash.  It is not out the house for display and sale yet, as I am thinking about it.  The idea that the artist ought to wait a year before evaluating what they did is a good one.

    I don't really understand this era of change for it appears to me, no change is really coming, and it is all rhetoric.  I was afraid Obama's tenure would be much as was Carter's.  Sure is looking like my fears are being realized for if there is a change in the status quo, it is not in any way that really makes any change.

    Piss test me and you might find a bit of Pot residue.  Fucking Drug War eliminates a big part of the work force.  In Transcendia pilots of airplanes will have joint to joystick time edicts.  Yah know for a long time pilots on long international flights of Italy were given a glass of wine.  -Pretty sure that was okay for a long time.

    In a popwars.com piece I wrote of how since I had smoked a good deal of fine hashish, I could see doing that again, and arguing theology with Osama Bin Ladin, or any of those that get into that mind drone set of that particular fine high.  There is some danger to that mind state come from fine hashish that makes me understand the history of it as an aid to assassination or mass murder.  Back when we knew how to do LSD, we had guides.

    Once out toward the end of those mental experiments, after I had hijacked a car and driver, I discontinued use of LSD.   Was out by myself in the Police State where police and homosexuals were after me to be them.  It was a bad trip conspiracy that to speak about was not a good idea.  Because I stayed silent about all the things past, present, and future, the hallucinations increased to a great problem for seeing where I was going.  I was left only with a little 2 inch central vision window of reality.

    If you want your children to be successful be sure and give them three sill able names.  One sill able names are good too.  Two sill able names are fated for hell in history.  Failure is insured for the two cil able name.

    Where was I?    

     

Site Post Tests from Founder

My life as an artist has its cycles.  Lately I've done less fiction or poetry writing than ever.

The Work of the art piece Transcendia, medic as a conceptual work, nurse with theories, is a bit more refined than ever before.

Lack of money is a major problem far as any realization of Transcendia with a flag flying port.

So far this site is really the only hope, but so far it aint made any money.

I thought sure that the Tattoo transfer to tee shirt program would make some money.

Aint seen a check from the Adsence people, and wonder who really buys things from internet ads.

What I have done artistically during this last cycle has mostly been photographic, and I have made a few more drawings and a couple of paintings.  I shall attempt to include now somehow a photograph out the files.

Working Class Corner/Pollution from Birth Control Pills

Well, symptoms I have discovered while worrying about plastics in the Ocean that Ethinylestriadiol in the water systems due to the hardiness of it in Birth Control pills threatens the purity of the water.
My advisors say a new paradigm needs to be applied to water treatment plant operations on this issue, ampoule as well as the other drugs and their ingredients excreted.
The effects of these things in the water are seen in hermaphroditic lizards, as well as being implicated in earlier maturation of girls, and changes in the physiology of young boys.
It would seem that there is a freshwater inland and close to shore problem, and an out at sea problem.

general

things are better in China than they are in north korea.
Wish china would take North korea over.
Apparently n Korea is good at printing money.
The south Koreans are good at animation.
Overall the resolution is graffiti. Money and cartoons are the key to the Korean economy, as a whole.
fuck it. Plans are not to be implemented if they do not involve war.
Free Peace is not really free free, since in the US you can go to jail for lying.
In other words while the US is not perfect, you cannot tell lies and get away with it due to a conflict with the UK, then called England.
Then the King could kill or imprison you for saying things he didn’t like.
I consider this more important than taxation without representation.
the world according to the UN is fucked due to compromises over what free speech is about, and what women’s rights are to be afforded.
Lying is not to be afforded, rewarded.
Nor is cutting the clits off women to be tolerated.

Working Class Corner/Teaching

Working Class Corner/Teaching

By Russell Scortt Day

A great teacher friend of mine visited and I was caused again to think about teaching and whether or not I could be, or was a good teacher.  I sort of wish I had had the opportunity to teach more.  Both of my interns have done and are doing well professionally.  I taught, and signed off, and UNCG wouldn’t give me credit towards a degree.

While there was a woman involved even she saw the letter I got from NC School of the Arts in Winston Salem.  That letter said they wanted to interview me about my pitch for a job teaching practical filmmaking.

Fact is that as a technician it was the Boy Scouts of more value educationally than Film School.  -(I took Audio Visual Tech because I was a hard headed artist who only cared about knowing how to use the tools, for my own purposes.)

If nothing else I have had an interesting career, and interesting life.  Lived in the stratum accoss the board places in the US and Canada during the war, and North and South and political science studies work me to concieve or agree with ways to end Wage Slavery.

Only thing I can really think of is Whole Life Life Insurance, which is real ironic since one of the reasons my first wife and mother of my only child divorced me was that I did not become a New York Life Live Insurance Agent.

On one hand I am pefect for such work, but it is like how I am also perfect for advertising, but somehow don’t really fit in at a certain level.

I might by now be better at teaching, though really I was apparently alright far as my interns.

I do wonder about my influence on education and students.  Transcendian theory called for all schools to be called Flight Schools as all Transcendians ought to know how to fly, though some like me, just enough to have cred.

Wasn’t the main thing for William Faulkner to fly, but to know about it, and the crash and death of Dean given by William is real tragedy.

But I could not spend all my time teaching.  Got fired once for working on a commercial for three days instead of two.  My thesis as valuable regardless was that I was an experienced professional.

Work is wonderful when you get to do it with people that want to and are willing to learn from everyone on the crew.

I’ve acted crying on stage where you have to do it quick most the time.  I can always sound and look like I’m crying.  However for tears I might resort to the mentol spray, since I’m acting.

"Put power on both sides of the set as close as you can get it."

The Director of a Movie needs to know a wide variety of both technical things, and subjective truths, and have status with the actors.

This is one of the reasons I worked out as a Stand-up Comic.

Heckling problems are severe for the man on stage.

There is no other performance work where heckling is part of the deal, other than politics…

This is a significant truth to know.

Where was I?  Yeah I was wondering if I could be a good teacher.

 

Edwards News

Jack Edwards came in the store yesterday. He’d been in Paris. Sid asked him what was up. “The movie people were over talking about the movie.”
Subject came up today when I mentioned to Sid I wondered when John Edwards would be putting out some confessional book. Politicians on the rise, and after the fall put out books. Elizabeth Edwards has had some book out. Publishers like these sorts of things as they tend to sell enough.
I imagine Mrs. Edwards agent has an interest in a movie deal. It is likely some movie will be made.
Jack is 10. He likes the store.
This is no great bit of writing, and little more than a rumor really, but it does make sense.
Would Kevin Costner play John Edwards? Who to cast for Elizabeth Edwards? Is the screenplay written?
I don’t know.
In a way though there is an arc of a story with insanity and tragedy enough for some TV Drama, TV Movie.
There are deaths, big money, desires for power. I’ll think about it.

Business Notes of Me

Me has never gotten a check from anybody due to work on this site.  Oh Well, somebody has made some money.  It is floating out there somewhere I’m sure.

Between defeats, bad luck, and rip offs, I suffer.  There have been turning points in my life when lies to me that I believed made a real huge difference in how things have turned out.

In particular my performing career as a Stand-Up comic was affected by events surrounding a performance I gave as my present at the wedding.  Was all I had.  Brides father said he owned a Comic Club in FLL.  Said I had a job waiting as MC in three weeks.  I went hitch hiking up and down the East Coast with notable adventures in Maine and Buffalo.

Got home to NC.  Ready to go.  Make calls.  No answers.

Finally the bride says, "My father lies a lot, we don’t know why."

I drifted back into Aviation Ground Services.  If I had continued more strongly to make a fool of myself I ought to have now bought a few airports.  You can make a lot of money making a fool of yourself.

After some failures, or after simply getting fed up with some sorts of work, and lifestyles I would retreat and just show up for what would give me some cash.

Part Two:

While I consider Faulkner’s Absolam Absolam the great perfect poem about how the great tragedy is to live according to incorrect ideals, it was apparently his own concept of the past as present he was intent on making clear.

Where do we go from here?

James Jones had great influence over me, and titled his book From Here to Eternity in the first of his WWII trilogy.  There is no future.  There is only the past and the present.

Part III.

The local boys are out of school for the summer and have little to do.  They go shopping, which for them is stealing.  I need to buy a shipping container to stock with comic books so they will have to satisfy their retail therapy with some coins.  My goal is to correct their ways through comic books, while allowing them to conform.

The local IGX Museum is supposedly to close.  Purchase of their assets put in a shipping container where I have a little job, has local potential as a private museum collection, for which enterance could be charged.[p]

The main export of the IGX area is music.  The IGX museum may as well be the James Taylor Museum.  The IGX museum would not be closing if James Taylor did a concert to support it.

IGX wouldn’t be so bad off if IGX was run better.

Things are bad.  Many look forward to silent days.  Death is quiet, and around hear the quiet life is cherished over life.

Fuck the quiet life. 

Big Balls/Working Class Corner

Working Class Corner/Big Balls

Russell Scott Day

I didn’t think as badly of President Obama’s speech last night, as many others.  Course I don’t expect Mr. Obama to be an engineer, and feel that his Science Chu guy is about experts as well.

I had an original theory at the very onset of the disaster that I expected to be shot down, or unneeded.

DROPPING STEEL BALLS all over the blow out was my first idea.

My second idea was electric arc welding melting shut the metal pipes and Blow out Protector, was my second idea.

My third more techinical idea was to flute the pipe below the cut off, put stop over the cut off pipe, and then introduce "mud" or whatever at the flutes so pressure drove it to a clogging stop.

I am about back to my original reactive idea due to the continuing blow out at the bottom of the sea.  Some reports imply that there is spew coming now from even below the ocean floor surface.

Since this is a massive disaster, I figure it calls for a massive reaction.  Hence I return now to my original concept that was Balls of Steel, Big Balls, Heavy Balls,  Balls in mounds and balls blanketing the ocean floor.

Steel Balls used to test cranes, or used as wrecking balls are not numerous enough, so it is suggested to use concrete balls.

My friend says that the pressure would break the concrete balls apart, but I don’t think so, long as there are no air bubbles in the cast concrete balls.

I don’t think bowling balls would come apart.

The basic idea is First Aid as applied normally to wounds.  APPLY PRESSURE, and STOP THE BLEEDING. 

Reality Luck Post

I wonder about how I am supposed to really react to laws in Arizona?   I’ve been illegal myself in Canada during the run up to my lottery draw.  I near became landed but there was a problem with what they called milkshakes, and some corruption within security and I am lucky in that era to have been allowed to survive.  After dead my friends and killers would have made up, but I’d still be dead.
