Sans Testecles

Yeah so i guess we now all have the option to buy medical. woopie, we can buy it. What the hell. I am not a political anylist. I even only attain a few collage credits. I will say this though, this is some bullshit. It is the beggining of a very long progress with healthcare reform. It still not enough. Come on President Obama, With all due respect, get some balls. Who are you trying to please? I though it was about the people.

And people. Stop it. Stop it with the notion that healthcare is welfare. You will be able to do it too. It is time that we do out part as citizens and pay into the system. All of us and yes some are poor, but it is capitalismn that conditioned them to be that way. We want some good things in return too. We want free health care. That is after all what we a paying for. We're paying for it to be free. Wake up. Do you understand that you are putting a market price on something you can have for free. You are willinnly paying your money into insurance companies who dont want you to have healthcare. They want you to pay them until you die.

Ego Tripping

Ah the band in Los Angeles. So bright and full of self love. And self. People like you because of the vibes you put out. You expand because you are open to it. When nothing else is going on in your life worth seeking, and all you have is the art. Why fight that. Why do you need to be rewarded for wanting to express yourself. Are you really truly an artist if you are willing to walk away from it because you could not get the earlier 30 minute spot? Where is our head? We are artist, We are not divas. where is the integrity to yourself and your expression. Its hard to get along with people who only think of themselves. and no one wants to work with a person who thinks that he is better than the rest. Be or not be. Don't be this person no one wants to work with. and if you cant work with the amatures. what makes you think you are ready for the pros?

That noise Defines Destiny

That Noise defines destiny
The members of the band ‘That Noise’, went out to play South by south west. At first, it was a bad idea, because no one had money. Then as fate would have it, they had the opportunity to bus with another band who was also attending south by south west. So off they went with passion and drive and barely any capital. When as fate would have it the second time, the lead singer met some bad luck at the boarders of Texas when he was found with an incredible cocktail of illegal’s. It was enough to get him into hot water. Now here is the question. Is it nobler in the mind to except the bad spoils of fate or should you keep on fighting?
The integrity of the music was still there. They never gave up. They went on. In the rock music world, they earned the right to be on that stage. With all the slings and arrows thrown their way, they fiercely kept on until they were on that stage and focused destination. This is favorable in the eyes of the rock Gods. They kept the faith. They were determined and dedicated enough to never let any obstacle get in their way. I think this band has a very bright future. Good luck boys!

Downtown Los Angele: The Height of Sophistication?


 

As a local of Los Angeles, I have been craving to see life in the city. As far as art and Culture goes, there is none, with the exception of the beautiful Latino culture that thrives but not all understand and participate. And that is only one voice. There are plenty other forms of art in Los Angeles that is grossly ignored. What was considered art and culture in Los Angeles 10 years ago was the exclusiveness of underground parties. You had to know people in order to participate and observe. The proposal to bring Life and art into the heart of downtown Los Angeles will not only thrive for the local food Culturist and artist; it gives all a chance to participate and observe something they can relate to. I can remember when and if I ever drove downtown, there were a concentrated number of transients in tents on the streets at night. Main Street was the place you could go to by drugs. The Rosslyn hotel housed crack heads and drug addicts. Then museums and art galleries started showing up every where. The Santee alley sold a pair of shoes for five to ten dollars. The streets were empty and the old theatres were never used. With the new Art movement in Downtown Los Angeles comes the death of the Garment district downtown. The Fashion district is slowly dying. Is this a sacrifice worth making? Did we not learn anything from the Garment district of the Manhattan's Bowery?

Now that the energy has shifted, I feel like there is life in Los Angeles. We were a silent voice yearning to get out and express the angst and perpetual boredom. Now the silent and muted artist now has a voice and a stage for the locals. There is also the new neighborhood with real live domestics and dogs with sweaters. This new Downtown has now become the height of sophistication. I'm hoping the rest of Los Angeles catch on. And hopefully it won't die out like everything else in Los Angeles.
