BAD LUCK

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't

have any luck at all.

A recent item in the news, a man is

crushed to death when a cross dedicated

to Pope John Paul II falls on him.

Ironically he lived on a street named after

Pope John XXIII.

Note:  Both are soon to be canonized

as saints.

Wrong place.  Wrong time.  He must have done something very bad. 

 I'm sure there' a message here

somewhere.

What it is I'm not sure.

Someone bring me a joint, a glass of red wine

and a fly swatter and I'll get back

2U on this 1

SALESIAN

In the news again.

Seems out in L.A. two police dept. teams, one from L.A. called the Centurions and one from San Diego called

the Enforcers (Power trippers) were playing a charity event when someone broke into a locker room and stole guns, badges, money and jewelry.

'Magin' 'dat.

It happened at Bishop Mora Salesian High School in East Los Angeles.

I attended it 60 and 61.

CLOSURE

Jan 13, 2014

In that post I listed nine

galleries that have come and gone

since I've been in Asbury Park

Three maybe, four years

KISS MY ART

has closed it's doors bringing the total to

ten.  Doesn't really sound like AP

supports the arts.  I know

it doesn't.

The guy who ran it wins my

MOST FLAKIEST, FLAKE AWARD

For two months, not weeks, I called, e-mailed

and went there.  Never open.  He'd tell me to show up.  I would.  Lights on, open sign up, door locked.

Knocked and knocked, no answer.  I suggested

he put a sign in the window with his phone number that sed:  Open by Appointment.

He did for awhile, then took it down.

While were on the subject rumor has it Old man Raffertie's is gonna' close it's doors

just like Ivan and Andy's.

What's that sucking sound I hear?

People ask, why should we go to AP?

The answer, we got restaurants and galleries.

Four galleries, six restaurants.

Meanwhile Tin Head Dan Jacobs and the

Tri City News continue to wallow under the illusion that they are relevant to anything.

If you had to hire an art director who would you choose.  I have a six page resume' and forty six years of experience.  Dan is an ex-lawyer.

Conversely who do you think knows more about art.

If you ask me Dan doesn't know is ass from a hole in the ground about it.

Also look for the charade called ARTSCAP

(I call it ARTSCRAP) to fade from the scene.

Their slick brochure is a total fiction.

A visit to their web page list five artist.

Three photographers and two artist.  Anybody with a camera and a cell phone is a photographer.

Here again is a case of the blind leading the blind.

Dennis Carrol is an ex-high school art teacher.

Dan and him should engage in a little intellectual incest.

They also list two painters.  Doris China who is dead and gone and a watercolorist.  Doesn't say anymore than he's a watercolorist.

You got to be a member to find out who the members if any are.

What's the point of keeping them secret unless...there aren't any.

GUARDIAN ANGEL

I got one...but sometimes she can be

a moody bitch. 

Pre-menstrual...maybe?

INDIAN PARKING

I was surfing Google Plus and came across a post.

It had this woman's picture and directed me to a site titled "Indian women parking".  What could that be about?

Is this the "parking lot attendant"

Do you want to park my car for me?  Where?  Over there maybe?

I tell ya' what let me park my car..near you

I visited the site.  It was pictures of a lot of pretty 

Indian women.  They even had pictures of some Arab women also.  Didn't see any cars there.

Language barrier or cultural thing...who knows.

I'd like to park her car for her.

Here's a couple of 

BEACH HEROES

"Art" a local Ocean Grove resident has taken it upon himself to restore the dune that was wiped out by

Sandy.

He has placed fences and Christmas trees in the area known as Black Beach just South of the casino, and created the SANDY MEMORIAL.

(That would be the life guard boat that was destroyed and is now covered with sand(y)

I call the area Hippy Beach because that is where the 

FREE CULTURE ZONE is

ALF has a vested interest in maintaining the area

THANX...!!! ART
