INSULT

Making someone wait when you don't have to is a power trip...period

 

It's about who is more important (Ego)

That's why it is sometimes called an

"ego trip".

 

The need to exercise power indicates

doubts about it.

 

The power of denial is the only

power of the inadequate.

(Not enuff of the right stuff)

 

How do you add insult to injury?

By making someone wait a long time B4

you jerk the rug out from under  them

by telling them "no".

 

It's called an open ended waiting game.

I'll be there but won't say when.

 

Say yes or no, but don't say,

I'll let you know

when

 

(you get out of solitary confinement)









 



RACE

 

.....was scheduled to start @ 10 a.m.

By 11 a.m. it had not started because the tide

was coming in and had covered the race track.

I left and later heard it started @ 1:30 p.m.

 

Somebody forget to check the tide schedule?

I guess.  Better planning next time.

 

 

POLYGAMY

POLYGAMY

 

Legalize it now

 

If gays can get married who is to

decide how many partners a man or woman can have?

 

Admitedly multiple spouses can

lead to conflicts and is not the wisest choice

 

....you have a right 2b wrong

 

 

BUSY IS B.S.

BUSY IS BULLSHIT

 

The truth is we

 

"make time"

for the things we consider

important

 

When we don't make time for them it means they are not important

or less important

 

Which in and of itself is a

form of degradation

 

The need to degrade is

rooted in weakness

 

The power of denial

is a tool of the

 

in-adequate

CROWD CONTROL

After thirteen years the city shut down the Tues night drum circle because the crowd had grown so large people were being forced to walk on the grass

(Not true)

 

What is success?  Crowds are good for business.

It is foolish to run off the free entertainment that attracts the crowds.

 

Now were told you can't ride your bicycle on the boardwalk because of

 

crowds.

 

The city needs to get off the obession with flow and get thier act together.

HELL

The drone incident reminded me of another story, about a guy so poor he was living in his car. 

 

When they passed compulsry auto insurance he became an automatic criminal.  He couldn't get it anyway because he didn't have an address.

 

He went and parked his car in the woods and lived in it.  Then they passed the compulsry health insurance law.  He couldn't afford that and one day was arrested.

 

In jail he was told he was a criminal and had to pay for his stay.  If he couldn't pay he had to stay until he could.

 

He died in jail.  He went to hell of course.  Conditions there were so bad he died again and went to a deeper, darker hell and has never been seen or heard of since.

 

 



DRONES

DRONES

 

The city of Asbury Park in it's irrational

lust for power has  extended the ban on

bicyles and dogs to all year round.

According to the police chief because

there are still crowds.

 

Ever the rebel when I couldn't sleep the other night I decided that some fresh air might help.  I jumped on my bicycle and headed to the boardwalk at 3 am. 

 

Wasn't a soul in sight.  Suddenly a bright lite appeared in the sky.  It was a drone.  A dis-embodied voice said, "No bike riding on the

boardwalk." Then a blue laser beam shot across my path and burned the boardwalk.

 

I jumped off my bike and walked it off the boardwalk.  A week later I recieved a ticket in the mail.

 

 They wanted three hundred and seventy five dollars for riding my bike on the board walk.  A hundred and twenty five dollars for the cost of the laser shot and a hundred and twenty five dollars to repair the boardwalk.  I had a week to pay,  If I did not pay immeadiately there was an additional seventy five dollars a week sur charge added.  If I did not pay by the end of the month I would be arrested. 

 

I guess the city is trying to make up that million dollar shortfall in the budget.

 

Gotta' sign off quick, there's a knock at the door and a drone hovering outside my window.

 



RECENT WORK 10/16/12

FAILURE

 

 It was all over this site 

 

 

I sent out press releases to the local papers three weeks in advance.  The Coaster put it in thier calender but Tri City News that bastion of creative and alternative ignored it.

 

I put up forty plus posters around town.  Put it on

Craigs list for Jersey Shore and NYC

under artist, events and local news.

 

The week before I reposted. adding Philly, North and South Jersey.

 

I wrote all over Asbury Park in chalk giving time and date.  It was on the city blinking sign in Sunset Park.

 

Not one single artist showed up.  There was absolutely no support from the local art community, not even the local art supply store showed.

 

Not more than a half dozen people came to see.

 

I tried my best but you can only do so much with what you have to work with. (cultural pygmys)
