Blue Dreams: escape from the dark night of the Soul (video and art from October)

"Blue Dreams: escape from the dark night of the soul" is a short video made of some of the art I made in October.

Why Change When It's Being Done Right? Political poster

Americans are 17 on the quality of life charts due to the way their politicians have structured American society. This will come as a surprise to most Americans who have been spoon fed the idea that America is the best of all possible places to live.




So I made the poster while thinking of all that the American lawmakers have done to impact the daily lives of the voters. (highlighted link to commentary by Farron Cousins at The Ring of Fire.)

If there are fair elections in the U.S. this year we may be able to vote the ones who have made life so hard on us out of office.  

It's up to you people, if you want more of what you have now vote Republican.  More war, more poverty, more violence against minorities, more racial discontent, more of all of what we have now.  If you want more of the same old same old vote for Republican and Democratic lawmakers who speak poorly about socialism. They will be more than willing to give you more of the same. Boy won't those who vote Republican be happy with more war, more homelessness, more racial animosity, more unemployment more low paying jobs, more expensive education, more expensive and more dangerous healthcare?

No they won't.  They'll blame someone else for what they have done to themselves.



(note the artist holds both Republican and Democratic lawmakers completely responsible for the condition Americans find themselves in.  While working on this I came across this address by Robert Reich.) It's worth listening to.

The Black Cat: poetry





The Black Cat

This afternoon
the black cat warmed himself
in a sunny part of the garden
where sunflowers had been planted
and harvested.

He rolled on his back
in a patch of catnip
planted for him between the sunflowers
and when he finished …
waited for the birds
who would come for the seed I put out.

He does it only when the sun shines;
he's never caught anything
and if I didn't feed him he'd starve
and he's not ashamed...
he thinks that's how it should be
and I agree.

Spider At Work: a Serendipity Studios production

Today I spied a spider
repairing a web I saw him repairing 
yesterday.

Today I took some pictures. 
Some came out pretty good.,,
take a look.

Tomorrow's another day.

She's A Lot Like God (poetry sure to offend someone)


A poem I composed while waiting.
She's A Lot Like God
When it comes to time
she's a lot like God
for whom a day 
is as a thousand years. 

And when she says:
"I'll be there in half an hour";
I know there's time
for a couple more beers.
