Water Dragon Lunar New Year

Area Man Investigated for Posing Online as 16 Year Old Cheerleader

Claiming he was just doing “research” a foxy area cheerleader has turned out to be a sixty eight year old political pundit and former public official who “just has a thing for athletic kids”, and thought it would be “neat” if he could get to know some of them better.

While records show the culprit has a history of questionable ethics the local authorities have yet to file any charges. Now that he has been outed it looks like ‘All American Girl’ would be well advised  to stick to simple texting and keeping a low public profile. 

Time to sort out your plans for The Year of the Dragon. 

The parades in both LA & SF are amazing to witness. 

The vibrant energy is astounding, super fun, and by just being you become part of the pageantry. 

I'm doing my 35th year of observance of the

Lunar New Year!

Up Close & Personal With The Worlds Great Art Treasures 

If you ever wanted to find the ultimate, soul enriching internet time sink, this is it!

Take a trip into the millimeter close-up world of some of the greatest known works of ART.

Besides Google buying Keyhole (now Google Earth) this may be the coolest thing they've ever done...

Log on and Zoom In! Wow!

Stunning Portrait Gallery of Faces of the Dispossessed

These seven photos are a astounding collection of faces of the homeless in the UK, and each of them carries a story of otherworldly hardship & beauty. Some of them look like masks torn from ancient mythology. Truly Stunning Photographic Art...

The lowly Twinkie (all clever racial or sexual connotations aside) is one oddly amazing little treat. And honestly I can't believe that any normal American over 40 could say that they've never enjoyed eating a pair.

Kids don't care, but with grown up kids Twinkies always inspire deeper questions, like; "Is it really cake? Do they really survive unaffected by a nuclear blast? -and- Can I have another one?"

As it turns out, they are partly made from Chinese petroleum, five different kinds of rocks, & dangerously poisonous substances, and pretty much last longer than a can of Spam. And boy, do they taste yummy!

The Twinkie...Deconstructed

Chris Burden's remarkable new sculpture is now available for you to experience personally at LACMA. This work actually embodies complex architecture as well as signaling a major cultural transition towards the eventual urbanization of the world and the resulting revolution in transportation.

Cars as we know them today will be relegated to horse & buggy status sooner than we expect, and the reasons & need to travel will be dramatically changed. There is a lot going on with this amazing piece of ART...

 I get a little thirsty from time to time & do adore my bubbly. I had to tell the delivery truck guys to be careful climbing around on my Moet. Luckily there's 2 bottles in every flat magnum box so they'll hold up pretty well.

It's taken them hours to unload all of this, and it's taken up a pretty large part of the garage (had to move one of the cars out), but C'est la Vie. Now to get on with the chilling & sipping! Cheers!

As I've Said...Everyone sees the world not as it is but through the lens of their own desires. 

The challenge is to dispense with all the filters and perceive things as lucidly and objectively as possible...
