War and corruption keep the common man poor.

My mind needs protection from lies and mis-stories?

How come people get to print money anyway?  It is a great work of conceptual art.  Paper money is really interesting.

My solution to what Transcendia might print money from is Whole Life Insurance Policies for everybody from birth.

The problem seems to be that standard practice is to undervalue lives.  You may well be resented if you live too long.

At anyrate even without perfect numbers my policy is to create an insurance entity for Transcendians that the paper money is printed on.  My people will be worth at least as much as gold.

Yah know paper money does work well for travelers.  Surely enough we are seeing Gold as a de facto currency, medstore but you aint going to be sending gold over the wires yah know.

Legal tender is cash used for illegal work and products, and legal work and products, and you buy chips at the gambling casino with whatever money type you got.

We can work this art project out together.

Where we start from is true accounting of what everything really costs. 

I have been wanting a big story other than constant news about economic collapse and dangers ahead.  I am semi satisfied with Osama Bin Laden's getting shot news as a big story illustrating touchstone emotions.  Still you have to admit this is not a completely positive sort of story.

Plus by now we've all seen pictures of murdered, store executed, ed shot in war fairly, medicine or whatever.  Not just posting the picture of this guy dead will seem like they want to drag the story out, more than be sensitive to Islamist who follow Bin Laden.  What reasons by now I ought to have to be sensitive to that sect of Islam is beyond me.

Years ago a Manager I worked under said, "I don't longer get too bothered by the tears of women and children."  Far as Islamic fundamentalists the "Sensitivity" is really simply fear, since they tend to flip out and stab even lonely movie makers in normally peaceful streets of Amsterdam.  Hell even the tolerant Dutch have about had it with this sort of thing.

Bin Laden's guys sure crossed the line far as I'm concerned, for if you kill travelers on Transcendian airports I'd do all I could I could to eliminate whatever threat you and yours were.   I myself really love civilization, and coming from sailors and priests I have a spiritual connection to travel, and all what it is about and for.

I have even traveled in airplanes recently when all the investigation was to ask my name after I was comfortably seated.  Next time I go to the airlines I think I'll just wear my bathrobe and some slippers.  My wife actually helps me get dressed these days so I'm not up for this dressing and undressing stuff.  It hurts me.

Maritime law is fascinating to me.  It's my suspicion it is the basis for International Law.  The real trend is a World Federal Government.

As the Slaves in the US were freed into Wage Slavery like everybody else, out the Civil War, this World War Spy era will lead to Human Rights for Women.

I am for arming women.

And so it is, I am done for today, writing.

P.S. Time to get a Tin Foil Hat.  Or Next Big Story:  Aliens are on the way.  They are bringing either War Or Peace.  A great Tin Foil Hat is really what you want now, either way.

Dead Martyr, adiposity | or Live Threat?  What you want?

You would think that the US does have some powerful non lethal weapons.  Of course non lethal and lethal combinations in the toolbox must be applied in a total combat situation.

Mr. Obama, allergist President Obama is apparently, grudgingly given credit for not too much micro managing of the warriors.  I was fortunate enough to be instructed psychologically by a "retired" SEAL.  I think he was even a Major.  My Farr experience on scholarship ought to allow me to recommend them if they are of the caliber program they were.

Harvard is supposedly a pretty good school.

I don't think it is as good as it ought to be for Military History.

Still far as I can tell Obama gets respect because the operation succeeded, whereas Carter's operation failed.

I do think Ms. Clinton needs to speak up for the UN Declaration of Human Rights in any negotiations with the Taliban.  I can justify killing over women's rights as they have achieved in Western Nations.  I have become old and broken up, and can't even run anymore.  There may be little improvements from diet or drugs, or different foods, but I'm never going to be as strong as I used to be.  I'm no stronger than a child or woman anymore.

Still I've not gotten around to carrying a pistol, or even pepperspray.

It was Flight 93, the one that was supposed to hit the White House that somehow exemplifies winners over losers here.  We are in a present of no past like Faulkner said.  We want a past, but it doesn't exist.

Dumping the body at sea with the quick bury to Islamic custom spin, along with stated desire to obscure any location for a shrine is smart.  I wonder how much influence Mr. Obama had over this?  For my interests it makes sense partly since it was baldly stated as a motive for the action.

Now Obama and the Democrats can turn around and reinstate the Clinton era Taxes, and reform Corporate loophole inequities among the corporations.

As a lover of the US Post Office I want that Bureaucracy to be fixed up.  As an admirer of Ben Franklin I just can't let go of Libraries and the US Postal Service.

I'd give the US Postal Service some work protecting rightly emails if I could.

Anyway I have much work to do to become focused and real tied up.  – Give me some questions to answer.  There is a lot going on. 

Since I live in Carrboro, cough I have a strong interest in its economic development.  As an artist I have a strong interest in the health of the art business here.  I am aware that it is standard operating practice for many cities to tout the arts, and the artists as if they were zoo animals, and then price them out of the place after people came looking for them.

My mother travels and buys art on her trips.  I price my work at what she would pay.  One of her favorite paintings she paid 30 bucks for.  My last big sale was for 100 and 35.  Overall I feel like a zoo animal.  Greensboro shows off artists and art in a zoo atmosphere people seem to love.

In my travels and work life there was a time when I lived and worked in Manhattan where I did somehow make money enough to pay the rent either technically assisting the arts, or acting.  At this time I am inclined to tell artists to move away from here if they want to make a living at what they feel is their destiny.  Locally I am impressed with Jesse Kalisher's business operations as a photographic artist.  Phil Blank is another good one who I am proud to own two paintings by.

Still what would really across be board help, would be more of a Film and TV business.  Figure 8 is around and doing well, but more could be had.  More could be done.  To advance that business I have long suggested a Frisbee Golf, Golf Invitational Tournament, that was a TV event.  It would be a legitimate expense for tourism tax dollars paid to hotels and motels to spend on such a thing.  People like to visit places that have been in the movies and on TV.

Certainly making movies and tv is low impact environmentally and artist intensive which would fit with the economic development desires of the local "Greens".

Music is a big IGX area export, though hampered by paradigms arisen making recording careers lower profit than in the past.  Stu Cole of Squirrel Nut Zippers has to go to LA to work for right money, for instance.

We are all pretty much Freelancers, and Temp Labor is the real deal.  The closing of Tar Heel Temps at the time of the onset of the recession was emblematic of how academics don't get it.  I am reminded of how when business is down you are supposed to spend on advertising and research and development if you want to survive and grow.

So I have wonderment at what might ensue now that James Harris is gone, and Annette Stone is installed in his place.

I wonder if she understands that banks and investors are more important than committees?  I wonder if she will see that in this world our own little local community airport could be the key to a high tech low tech too, crew economic strength as around us there is collapse.

I wish I had a good rocket together now.  Last April Fools there were a series of failures.  I gave the rocket to the rocket staff and they left town.

Last couple of April Fools have not been very good.  I so want this one to be terrific.  I didn't give it on the day because there was no film crew lined up and I can't do this stuff over and over correctly for only the live audience because I feel the hand of death on my shoulder.

I don't live right, ambulance and at best have only about 20 years left.

Cheer up!  I think I will leave some integrity around.

I'm simple.  I'm essentially a Boy Scout.  Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

Of course I am again a Boy Scout gone wrong.  I inhaled.

If I could today get some hashish, I'd smoke it.

There are high paid executives listening to the sound track of Last of the Mohicans, and breathing till their Medulla Oblongata is bathed in oxygen around lunchtime every day.  Most people don't have time for this sort of mental exercise and would prefer to smoke some hashish.  Glad I've breathed as much as I have.

Anyway we all know that this world we share is being beat to shit by us.  I heard that humans breed like rabbits and that rabbits function on a J curve.  Rabbits will breed and populate a neighborhood till they exhaust the food for that neighborhood, and then die off.

Rabbits don't build monuments or sculptures, but there is a reason madly that Easter is represented by Easter Eggs, and the Easter Bunny, that is sort of funny…

Oh anyway, everybody needs to be armed, and everybody needs a complete and superior education so that they help us all live together as a Big Time Species.

It turns out that our main struggle together is with a hostile environment and Mars is not a rescue destination for us.  We can make creatures with brains like ours that might have fun naked on Mars, but that would be playing God, wouldn't it? 

Stub note.  My Crook is Better than your Crook.

Food is the number one ingredient of peace.  Civilization is about 3 meals thick.  Food delivery by aircraft is typically an expensive way to do it.  It is done in battle, generic and emergency, viagra sale and also to extreme environments.  I put food on old freighter planes destined for Caribbean islands.  We hear often that there is enough food for the world population, arthritis but that distribution is the problem.  Since aircraft can get to most anywhere, they would represent a key to this distribution failure.

The favorite fuels for aircraft engines have temperature ranges and BTU supply that enable fast and far, and high.  There is all sorts of stuff we can do to get around on the ground, but up in the air there are fewer choices.  Speed and lifting potential are very important.  Low in weather is a recipe for disaster.  Still as in so many cases the perfect is the enemy of the good.  Most of the time 12 thousand feet is good enough.  Most of the time 200 miles an hour is good enough.

Planes that can carry 10 tons and burn bio fuels, or propane, or whatever the scientists can get out of algae are desirable far as Transcendia is concerned.

I am aware that the Centrifugal Fuel Controller applied to the Ivchenko A!-TL 25/55 offers some fuel security for world wide freighter operations.  I am aware this technology has not been applied to freighter aircraft.

It is significant that 25 airline companies have gone out of business directly due to fuel costs.  I suspect that there will come a time in the future when it will be calculated how many aircraft will be allowed for the fuel available.  It would be a hoot for me locally here in failing IGX to limit Med Air Flight operations to local fuel supplies.  Their new French TBM is powered by one of the greatest engines of all time, the Pratt and Whitney PT6.  I'll bet we could get it to run on bio fuels made from the genetically engineered NC State University yams, that are inedible.

Far as NC and Southern land problems with Kudzu, would be nice to be able to turn that into turbine fuel.

Anyway Food Distribution is said to be the big problem for mankind, and Aircraft can get food to places other transport can't.  Blimps don't carry much, and are too slow.

Wing in Ground Effect Craft offer further efficiencies for heavy stuffs.   In this life there is Salvation through Science.

True poverty is when one cannot give anything away to others.  In Tunisia Mr. Sidi Bouazizi set fire to himself because cops stole his food.  Mr. Bouaizizi sold food from a street cart.  Mr. Bouaizizi was known to give away food to the most poor of his customers.

I suggest NATO bomb Libya with Food and Candy and Flowers all over the place at least for one day, as an experiment.   

There are only about 250 Transcendian Passports officially issued and signed by me.  I have hesitated to issue more passports because Transcendia does not really have the means to support them.

While I of course want a Transcendian Airport that functions under the Transcendian Flag, buy cialis I see now that my goal ought to be to at least establish Transcendian Passport Support Offices, prostate on as many, generic or all, International Airports.  Of course it is right that one ought to be given rights of passage everywhere in the world.  However I aim to do what is more realistically possible by focusing on airports.

I understand that there is in the world common cleavage to the nation of ones birth.  These borders are typically consecrated by blood.  Machiavelli faced it when he wrote:  "The struggle with nature is not enough to make a nation."  – I quote from memory.

Hence it is I declare a war now and then.  Actually spies and gangsters know war is a constant.  What you really want to do is keep its intensity low.  The Military Industrial Complex has a commercial interest in the use of expensive weapons.  I postulate that all Transcendians shall be appropriately armed according to their individual personalities.  We shall assume they are all of good character.  It is a lot of work to carry a firearm, and some ought not be bothered with that extra work walking around.  However I may require all Transcendians to carry personal protection stuff, like pepperspray, since defense of the "nation" is a national responsibility.

The network of companies that make their profits from war materials, and instruments of war can find profits from other builds.  For instance Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carriers would make for fun destinations for some Commercial Planes, as well as having the power available for desalinization of water at port.  The sad facts of water war in Haiti did not have to result in Cholera.  It was obvious that water was a corrupted business hobbling Haiti recovery.

In Haiti the issues are about as compete a recipe for weakness and vulnerability to disaster as they come, and much of my work last year was focused on producing solutions.  It is significant that I could not recommend buying or leasing an airport for Transcendia there.  I could not afford to lose the investments required at this early time in Transcendian history.  However I could justify a Transcendian Passport Office.

Transcendia is not a joke, though I do regard April Fools as a good holiday to observe.  Sometimes we all feel that life is fraught with practical jokes on us.  We seem to be intent on making life harder than it really has to be.

I myself am really a nobody so joke about how I am, what position I am in, how I am working class, but I have a vision, and from a vision, one can become a King.  I shy from wanting to be known as King, and prefer to be as I am, only Founder.  It shall be up to others to fill in some of the details.

However, due to the communications networks maturity of our times, along with realities of the global economy, possibilities of individual travel freedoms where we even see Space Tourism, the times are right for a nation of airports, as Transcendia is in my mind.

The Flag is a very nice flag.  You can help me out by buying clothes and hats with the flag on it.

 Goal is to install Transcendian Passport Offices in as many airports as possible, and support world citizen individual rights. 

But Lightening is Lighting.

So I let it go.

Otherwise my nephew has got a job as a photographer, order ed which has been a lifetime artistic pursuit of mine one way or another.  I really made more money lighting for other people.  I am very fond of some particular lights.  The LTM Cinepar, see Ianaro 2K Blonde, find Tweenie and Inky a Kinoflows are favorites.  Lots of times I watch movies and guess which instruments of lighting they are using, and where they put them.

Light Comes From Above!

Remember a DP asking me to do this and that till finally I asked her what she was trying to do, and she said, "Get rid of that shadow."

I told my guys to raise the lights.

Really good lights are addictive.  Course it is the difference between taking a picture, and making one.

I used to not crop photographs due to Bresson influence, but changed my mind about it and will cut a photo with a knife now to make it better.

The business of wedding photographs wasn't my thing really.  I liked taking photos for the newspaper, or just as I thought was important.  A lot of my best work is somehow gone, either sold, stolen or lost.  It's too bad I couldn't keep thing to this time of scanners and all like that.  Those coming up now are lucky in my opinion for digital photography is right mature now and will be around for a long time.

I'd love to shoot some with a digital Panavision.

We used to have to light differently for video cameras, as opposed to film cameras.

I imagine the digital Panavisions to be right to light for, as they are great cameras.

Otherwise notes like, balancing of key, and fill and backlighting to achieve depth of image in portraits, or for actor story drama shots are going to apply.  Eye moves to brightest spot in the frame, is going to apply.

Every place in the world has unique light due to sun angles, air density, temperature, humidity, and other factors.  I thought it was a good idea to always shoot with Daylight balanced film for that is the way the eye is balanced.  I mostly shoot with my digital with the flash cut off on a landscape setting which is like a daylight balance and 35 mm lenses setting.  For the stark of straight on flash I'd rather turn the image to Black and White.

I turn many of mine to Sepia cause it creates a distance from the present, and I like that.  I want the picture to be historical right away. -but that's just me. 

I started working when I was 11.  I had been digging a bomb shelter in the garden, viagra 60mg and got hired by a neighbor old man to paint a house.  Painted the house with more and more watered latex paint for 30 dollars in 1963?

Then I went to delivering newspapers.

Later in Chicago I bagged groceries for a few weeks.  Took time to be educated for awhile.

Had some influential scholarship for poetry and movie making that set me on a career path.

Early far as those things I was an editor, photographer, and writer.

Picking things up and putting them down paid more cash.  Was paid money to protect Rochdale College when I went to Toronto to see what my options were far as what to do in the wartime.  I learned a lot about real enemies and all.

Did residential construction carpentry for a bit after.  Went to ROC with girlfriend and worked at stationary store warehouse, dog and cat killing care place, pizza shop, and camera store.  Sold cameras in GSO and ROC actually.

Wrote and photographed for small town newspapers.

Drew a bunch of pictures with crayons during heartbreak breakdown.  Was suicidal there for awhile till high up on building frame discovered I didn't want to fall and die from high up end rafter plank walk over cinderblock strewn landing potential.

Went to work fueling planes at Atlantic Aero when it was GSO, not PTL.

Stayed pretty much in Aviation Ground Services till 1987 when I moved to Manhattan and ran the Grip Truck.

Course I did write, and photograph.  Failed at my first photography business.

Sold some photos and fiction and postcards and did lightshows, and drove a taxi.

Sometimes picked cinderblocks up and put them down.  Did Day Labor whenever no other job in hand.

From 1987 to 1999 I worked as either a Film Technician or Stagehand, or actor, or model and then painted houses for six months.

After that I worked as a carpenter.

During that decade I was damaged by a long fall that broke my hip hand and pelvis.  Gave freelance calls away from the morphine bed.  Recovered and went back to carpentry with other options somehow lost.

Made up TV channel.  It didn't sell.

Transcendia was around from long back to 1983.

Can't walk today.

Was IATSE 491 for a good while, in gaffer and grip categories.

Now put out novella Homeless Dog.

Can't walk good anymore.

Only good from neck up really.

Speech to do.

Outlaw life sortah.
