      ' THIS    IS    IT.'

    
     Or is it? ...I hope...

    If you haven't been living under a rock.
    This is the day of reckoning.

    Angels and Demons

    Angels and Egomaniacs

    Angels and Vengeful Vikings

    It's Sunday morning and the Sun is shining. Writers tend to be up late at night and wake up early. Watching

    reruns of 2009 WSOP No Limit Texas Hold 'Em. Phil Ivey, that Tiger Woods of

    Poker, with the eyes that are  always shifting. In a few days he will go for his 8TH bracelet at the final table of

    nine on ESPN. All eyes on Phil Ivey.

     

                                                  

    what's so funny is those poker players hiding behind shades
    it all boils down to a balance of skill and adose of luck, anyway.

                                     WTF

    
    The 40 y o  Prodigal Son Returns Back Home to Lambeau today,

              Wisconsin's SuperBowl Sunday.

    This is the NFL showdown we have all been waiting for,
    The 'angel' that transformed into a 'demon' in the eyes of many observers.

    That upward spiral, that suddenly shifted into a downward vortex.
    Forever Loved...that crazy ex girlfriend ...
    P O'd at being dumped for a younger, more humble stud,
    Haven't we all been in this position before,

    Dumped for someone younger and hotter

    It all depends on how you look at it anyway
    It all circles back around again

    
    rose or dandelion
    wave or particle
    love or fear
    packer or viking
    rave or rant
    going green or money making capitalism
    aaron rodgers or brett favre
    angel or demon

    now do you see the analogy here...
    it's all a matter of perspection.

    
    it's always been relative.
    The Observer affecting the Observed.

    OVERPAID Grown men playing a kids game.

    Choose or take sides

    My mom loves Brett, my younger sister loves Brett, my older brother loves Brett,

    my older sister loves Brett, my pop loves Brett, and I love Brett...

    who isn't guilty of  worshipping this Idol of Lambeau?

    Brett will have to finally LET GO of this GRUDGE...unless he doesn't. Yet sooner or later,

                               BF will LET GO.

     

    I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan & Tony Romo fan anyway, btw

    and they suck royally this year.
    it's probably why me and G Dubya share the same birthday.

    Honestly, I can not tell you if it was a good idea for number 4 to comeback.
    Yet every man has his reasons intact.

     I have never been much of a Packer fan, but watching Favre at his peak would

    put even the most loyal Packer haters in a state of sheer ecstasy.

    It's POETIC to witness a human being in ALIGNMENT with his PASSION.

    So no matter what happens on Sunday Nov 1ST. I'll be cheering for number four.
     If BF wins
    BF loses.
    If BF loses
    Then it's a waste.
    If A Rod loses.
    Nothing is loss.
     If ARod wins
    Ted wins.
      Nuff said.     N Joy the game.

    {BTW...Happy Birthday to my niece Nikita in ATL and my grandmother in MOBILE, SWEET HOME ALABAMA}

• Deciphering Biblical Mythologi

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:
    In BiblIcal Mythology:
    
    'TREES' often symbolize People & Humanity

     

        Where Rigid trees break in a hurricane, the flexible PALMS tend to bend tangibly in the winds, with ease.

    The Palm being symbolic of the 'Tree of Life'
    so I'm thinking,

    When President Obama had his mandatory top secret 'Behind the Scenes' meeting with former President George Dubya,

    and Bush told Barack about the trillions of  E.T.'s watching and observing us 'Behind the Scenes.' 
      President Barack Hussein Obama probably just stared back at GWB  with his HAIR turning silver

    and said,
    " --Look, I already KNOW about all this abducting, probing, and poking."
    

        I can picture Pres Obama telling former Pres George, " Yeah...and so WHAT??....I've seen 'the Secret'

    I know about the undeniable 'Laws of Attraction'...
    
    ....I already know about all THAT, as long as they don't 'BUG' me!"
    
    " So what ELSE is NEW!"
    
    
    "Let's get on with the GLOBAL HEALING, SIMPLE LIVING, and AWAKENING!"

    George Bush did look rather 'FRAZZLED' as they came out of that SECRET MEETING.
    
    .....he'll be okay in the midst of all this SHIFTING.

    Hmm...
    
    

    After 2012...I can see Bush  finally waking UP like 'ALICE'

    Wondering...Hmpf.

    ....What in the 'HELL' just happened??????

     

    'Everybody  Sharing the Simple things'

     & Feeling Good

    with FRIENDS & FAM

    Nothing else ever did  matter...or did IT???

    Hmm...

• The Unique Nose of Karl Malden

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

     

     

                       "IDON'TLIKEYOUINTHATWAY."

     

     

     

     

        In my mind i'm saying..."That's cold",

     I'm listening to... Blanche DuBois stubbornly tell this to her nosy new suitor

     Karl Malden
     in the timeless classic,

    A "Street Car Named Desire."

     

     
      Steamy New Orleans. And you feel desire come clanging through, in rhythms,
     in that hot -deep, dirty Southern-fried humid atmosphere.

    I could have easily copy&pasted the synopsis of this gem,
    but that would simply spoil  my own lustful desire to write from within.
      

        The movie version is a 1951 adaptation based on the writings of
    Tennessee Williams.
    You can not help but love an unusual  name like "Tennessee"...
    btw.....I love cruising through that beautiful, rolling hills
    it puts you in a beautiful state of mind. 
     A man, by the same name who influenced a respectable movie.
    Equally respectable actors, with equally respectable flaws.

    
    I speak of those special actors,
      ...with respectable special noses.

    {Mind if I segway into Karl here}  ;)
      Karl Maiden, embraced a rather unique  nose.

    
     excuse moi,
    si vous plait.

    I'm veering completely off course
    of Karl's passing on by,
    Because sometimes the best way to remember/honor those who have Blessed Us,

     Is to honor them with the Joys & Flaws they carried with such grace
    while "living" WITH the physical anatomy.

    A Full Life Lived
     ...without a nose job.

    {Remember. It only depends on the "Way" you "Look" at "Dying" anyway.}

    I'm doing a complete 180.

    All Deaths of Loved Ones should be about Celebrating,
     that Life FULLY Lived.

    
    So I guess I will...

    Pause.

    Right here. As we honor on the Fourth, those 'novas whom have passed
    with a quick poem,
    Let's focus on the "unique" nose of Karl Malden. Here goes...

    
                            "A Nose Knows."

    
    "Only a nose knows, because it smells,
    the Bigger the nose, the greater the tale,
     
      A nose can be so damn  NOSY,
    It can be pointy, or broad, but how can a nose,
    be a button?-at all.

    
    Indeed. I foolishly admit,
    I once had  my nose broken in a brawl,
    Yet a broken nose, continually does a nose's job,
    Yet a nose broken on purpose, it's quite perplexing,
    Never had it fall off ither, like a 'Sphinx', i'm guessing

    Riddle me this,
    That most famous "Un-SEEN" NOSE in Egypt,
    Who knocked  the stubborn nose off that stubborn Ol' Leo?

    You know, the famous Lion, with the human head.
    In the famed town of Giza, near the tombs of the dead.

    
    The riddle of the Sphinx, says it would stink,
    for someone to deliberately, foolishly chop off their noses,

    Even Dandelions love noses, like roses, I supposes." 

     - Sears Barnett

    
    So as you.......... "C",
     I Can always appreciate good "Character", In a Character aCtor.
    Especially good Characters attached with unique physical Characteristics.
    I tend to be in awe of anyone who Could Care less about Compromising their looks to become infamous.
                   On a Clear day, Barbara Streisand understood this with Clarity.

    
    That "Flawless straight nose" of Nicole Kidman, wife of country singer Keith Urban,
     took  it a step
                           "down"
                                       further
                                                    ..........from aesthetic beauty,
    wearing that big prosthetic NOSE in the film,
    'The Hours.'

    Big noses brings  big Oscars. Ask the god Hoffman.

    See what I mean. Dustin Hoffman knows noses.
     

    All  nose jokes aside,
     Father Barry's stubborness in the masterpiece "On the Waterfront"
     brought unique character to that role, as well as emphasizing the true character of the "Character Actor." A unique gift given to a role that your average "Joe" could relate to.

    Now I'm probably rubbing a few of my readers to rantings by raving about noses,
    But remember this, you're not exactly "WRITING"
     if you're not making  someone snub their nose up at you,
    on occasion.

    I have gone on the record, having always stated, I'd rather be smart than good-looking,
    anyway.

    ..at least in this lifetime.

     

    The last time I saw the movie 'a Streetcar named Desire'.... all I remember is Karl Malden, and his unusual nose,  sniffing behind  Vivien Leigh like "PePe LePeu." 
    That unique bulbous nose. Like my broad nose.

     That part that breathes in eternal  life energy.
    I would know this quite literally.
                   Often ignored, but wholly adored.
    A protruding  facial monument, that I learned to embrace again.

    
    It's obviously the first thing you notice on people when you meet them.
    Now isn't it? Big noses have often been connected with Pinocchio and big fibbers.

    
    So let us all dispose of these goofy old myths
    ...about  Swine, Noses, & Dandy Perennials.

            Anyone can respect a simple nose, but a nosey person gets on anyone's nerves,
    a nose picker, is quite gross, and a runny nose....like my spiritual  anchor buddy says,
    " --Keep a handkerchef
     by your side at all times."
     
     

    Like everything in Life, I try not to take mine too seriously, so please,
    love your noses
    and if you sneeze, I will always

     Bless You.
    Sometimes even twice.

    Bless U.

    Dedicated To Karl Maiden,
    2 all unique noses everywhere,
     we thank U.

• "Respect For Our Lost Icons"

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    RESPECT FOR OUR LOST ICONS {by Nadine Jessel}
    
    We just lost three icons and many are yet to come;
    From their warm hearts, their virtues have spoken from.
    
    Our lives are too rushed and we don’t stop to reflect;
    The gifts of talented icons which we should honour and respect.
    
    Your esteem for Ed McMahon and Farrah Facwett is not up for debate;
    But the mixed views of Michael Jackson, I sadly do relate.
    
    Michael had a troubled life and that’s a tragic shame;
    For his eccentric actions, show him pity more than blame.
    
    When John F. Kennedy was shot, oh how the world wept;
    But he too had dark secrets, inside where they all slept.
    
    The loss of Princess Diana hit the world with a thrust;
    She captured our hearts, our support and our undying trust.
    
    Elvis was a troubled soul, trapped within his self abuse;
    To avoid his death in the end, there was absolutely no use.
    
    Elvis and many others met their fate as did Michael;
    For toxic abuse repeats itself in a perpetual destructive cycle.
    
    Here I mention only a few, but there were many more;
    Some outshine in spirit, but some in misery evened the score.
    
    Pay them the homage that they rightly deserve;
    For in death, their dark side we won’t observe.
    
    Whether president, war hero or the best talent in sight;
    They are all now sleeping angels in their own right.
    
    Many war heroes fought for our freedom and died;
    They too had imperfections which cannot be denied.
    
    Some of our idols entertained us spreading joy and fun;
    Others fought for our freedom or said how our countries are run.
    
    The loss of our icons we have come to dread;
    Their inspirations joined to our hearts by an invisible thread.
    
    They gave light to our souls with their talents so bright;
    To defame them in death, just isn’t right.
    
    No matter the contribution to society they dealt;
    Their talents and inspirations were profoundly felt.
    
    Denouncing the spirits of the dead is an expression of our fear;
    For our deepest wounds are echoed when we look into the mirror.
    
    So, one last tribute to the lost icons whose talents we behold;
    For they all had some darkness and many secrets untold.
    
    It takes integrity to be heartfelt and kind;
    Please honour the legacies that these icons have left behind.
    
    [Nadine Jessel, June 29, 2009]

• The Artful Dodger.

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    The Case of the Artful Dodger.
    1936 to 2009

    73 y o ....a Full beautiful Life Lived.

    David Carradine passed on to New Life Experiences & Opportunities.

    Here's a link to one  Carradine website:

    http://david-carradine.com/bio.html

    
    Talk about a Balanced Human Being. Multi-Talented.

    Like many of you, I grew up watching the Beloved one Wander & Transform those

    around him, with gentle strength, a Bendable Palm in the Wind.

    Dodging adversaries with swift counter-attacks.

       The role of Kwai Chang Caine was originally intended for Bruce Lee, however due

    to the Rigidity of the Powers that BE,  in Hollywood at the time, [early '70s], there was an epidemic fear

    that an Asian man, in a lead role, would not draw the ratings of a predominantly white

    American audience.

    Hence, David Carradine was given the lead role, and he honored it gracefully.

    I remember the smoothness in the way D. C. would dismantle his sudden opposition, often

    utilizing a style of Defense & Dodge tactics. Striking opponents with swift defensive

    compassion & mercy. To see him move with such Artistic flexibility, as well as focus,

    amazed me as a kid. A soul that surrenders, and bends with flexibility.

    There is an Artistic Beauty that's apparent in Jeet Kune Do.

    Mimicking the Fluidity of the movements of Asian Calligraphy.

    An expression of writing I became familiar with in High School Art Class.

    Learning the craft of jewelry making, how heat molds the metal, the

    way cold clay felt as you applied water to it, spinning the clay to create my  first vase.

    Heating it in the oven. The glaze.

    The poetic hand movements of  East Asian Calligraphy, and the way the

     it synchronically parallels the artful dance of martial arts.

       Ever try to write with a paint brush?     You don't.

     You feel  the "characters" which are a language of the soul. The rhythm & the way you hold the paint brush.
    However, I have come to appreciate the Logic of the English language and alphabet.

    The Intuitive- slant of cursive penmanship. Look back at the careful penmanship of

    our English ForeFathers, Thomas Jefferson & Ben Franklin, or Abraham Lincoln's

    prose, in the Bixby Letter, or even some of your personal acquaintences who have

    rather nice penmanship. Yet the expressions of the Eastern languages on paper

    mulberry, hemp canvases and parchments fascinate me. Writing styles and

    techniques used often in China, Japan, Korea, & Vietnam.

            The Abyss & Deep Blackness of the inks used, all these memories have resurfaced,

     the sensitive pressure on the hairs of the brush, appear quite vivid to me. Water

    acting as the Eraser. Even in Junior High School, I loved the trips we used to take

    outside in the time of  summer, sitting in a circle, free sketching trees, homes, streets, and each other.

     

    At Milwaukee Tech, I had an art class, one of my favorite study hours.

    At the tone of the bell, students would proceed to the next hour class.

    I liked most of my classes, but when the Bell Tolled for Art Class.
    I stepped into another dimension....

    IMAGINATION.

    Free roaming imagination. This was something I MASTERED as a little kid.

    Here we explored the delicate craft of jewlrey making, molding of clay, and

    calligraphy, free style sketching, charcoals, oil paints...etc.
    ..... and the greatest artform ever created,

    ...the  masterpiece known as the HUMAN PHYSICALITY. The Human Body.

     

     

    
    It is here that I am in a Divine Place. Like Writing. Heaven on earth

    ....but I humbly compose myself daily.
    This is the same teacher, who literally begged me on bended knee to take a career in

    Commercial Arts. Commercial mainstream artistry. Creating the advertisements that fight for your attention in the grocery store aisle or on television commercials.

    Anyways, I recall  the entire class of  students were required to  purchase  a sketch

    book. We added a new entry input at the end of each week. Remember, I was a  painfully shy Black Kid

    in an predominantly white High School.  One odd day, my teacher surprises me, by

    doing something out of the ordinary.

    In a moment of frustration from seeing another students sketch book compilation, 

    my male art teacher grabs my sketch book in holds it UP with both hands in front of

    the entire class.

     

    And Triumphantly...

     

     Defiantly!.....Proclaiming....

    "Now THIS is how a Sketch Book she BE!"

    Black man turning Red again, Embarrassingly SWEET.

    Art teacher spontaneity again....

    another day he pulls me by the arm out of my chair, walks me to the CENTER of the

    entire class, and hoists me on a desk, unto a chair.....

     

    ........Fox6Fan Becomes the ART FORM.

    Ecstasy.

    I remain still while the other classmates DRAW ME.

    The Roads & Pathways of Life often take many sudden turns. Occasionally veering

    completely off track.
    I suppose that dream lives on in an Alternate Reality.
     These pleasant thoughts often bring me comfort & joy.

     Sears the Writer, Poet, the Logical Math Professor,

    Computer Graphics designer, Movie Director, the Intuitive High School Art Teacher

    ....all experiences remain quite valid. Branching off into eternity.

    Take for instance, a television news Anchor, who longs to have been a priest,  a left-handed

    professional baseball pitcher, or politician/actor, or Tour de France bicyclist...etc.

    "The passionate residue remains with the spirit or soul, as hobbies or recreational experiences."

    I do not even draw anymore. Nor do I miss it. Or care to.

    HOWEVER,   I continue to appreciate any fine piece of art, a tree, a bird, a star even.
    Whether it's a chalice of red wine or Angelina Jolie,  a good book on a shelf

    or even the ironic COMPLEX simplicity that IS life itself.
    might  I add......I would have made a Superb Art Mentor in High School. Isn't that a

    darn shame.... isn't it?

    Hmm...

    Oh well,  ya' know what Erykah Badu says,

    .......maybe NEXT LIFETIME? Got thousands of 'em...

• Have U Ever Seen A devil ...Sm

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    You know I have seen a Grinch, grin!

    Emphatically,

    But I do believe I saw a devil .....SMILE.

    As a kid of about 12 - 13 y o, I grew up on Lisbon Avenue,

    there used to be a George Webb right smack on the corner of 35TH &Lisbon,

    Me, my brother, and two sisters used to go to the Webb all the time for those cheap-cheap-cheap burgers.

     It FELT like a dollar could by a Hundred of them ground beef babies!

    TALK ABOUT HEAVEN.

    Well, anyways, I attended seventh and eighth grade at Samuel Morse Junior High School.

    84TH &Congress...back in '77,... I'm guessin'. It was a predominately white neighborhood. I remember taking that 23RD &Fondulac bus ride,

     

          It  was like watching a Howard Bearden  meld into a Norman Rockwell.....

    Observing Milwaukee, watching her TRANSFORM in what took like 23 minutes.

    Shifting back into Happy but Content Howard Bearden again at the end of my classes day.

    Back to Simplicity.

    The simple Life. With the intense gratefulness & joy. Even for the little things, that matter the most

    The crumbs...and even those scraggily lookin' yellow Dandelions, Behind the Scenes.

    I was an embarrassingly shy and quiet kid. I recall having this Tough THORNY $%@! STUBBORN RED ROSE-

    for an Algebra Teacher.  She wasn't bad looking ither. Just Strict. The Logical Zenless Master.

    This Lady would yell, "SHHHHHUTT- YOUR- --MOUTH-----NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    ---and that's even when she heard a number drop.

    I remember there being maybe three blacks in my math class of about thirty. And I was one of them.  The majority of the class were white teens. We went to school when there was a mindset of busing minorities out of their slum neighborhoods to "better" schools. There was tension, but I rarely FOCUSED on it. I was just fascinated by learning something new. Numbers and Letters. Home Ec, Shop Class, History...all was FUN to me. I was in Heaven.

      All my Teachers liked me. And I loved them.

     Buuuut....it was just...This NUMBERS LADY... was a BEAST.

    Like 666. She never said much to me. But she was always watching, behind the scenes.

    Observing...those other kids in the class. Who made her crazy and mad.

    This is how it went down, when the bell rang for Math's Witching Hour. When every kid came into class, we sat up straight, mouths closed, and NOBODY even DARED say a word .... or God forbid....laugh.

    It was like OFF TO THE FIERY PITS OF HELL you GO. 

       (Principal's Office-Phone Call to Mom-and INSTANT DEATH!!)

    So I kept my mouth closed, did my work, found the puzzle of numbers effortless, and passed with straight A's in MATH.

    Man, --I even did my homework in 1st Hour! --- Study Hall.

                     With time to spare, and a quick nap.

    Then I would return back on the bell sound straight to MATH HEAVEN.

    Now here's the anomaly. We had this final algebra exam at the end of the year.

    And I ace the mother-.

    It felt like I was having fun, like the Teacher was challenging me to a playful duel.

    Simple formulas. Effortlessly put together, like a simple puzzle.

    I probably was the first to turn  my final exam paper in,

     i'm a little clouded in the memory,

    but I do remember being called up to the front desk, a few minutes later,

    Upon Teach's  inspection.

     A Big No-No.

     On  every Logical & Practical level.

    Ms M??---(please forgive me for forgetting the exact name.)

    My Algebra Teacher looks me straight in the eye...and I see this Grinch,----- SMILE

    Like this>>

    I see TEETH. But No-- FANGS. Pretty TEETH. A Softness in a once-hardened FACE,

    IT's tender,  affectionate, and a sweet new look, I must admit,

     .... it becomes her.

    A More Flexible Miss M. emerges from a thorn. to a rose.

    I kid you not, Miss "M" reaches out her hand to me,

                 {no fork or claw with piercing nails} 

     ...and proceeds to tell me that I have ACED MY EXAM.

    And i'm lookin' like....

            {{<<SHOCKED!!>>}}

    not because I aced the exam...that was the fun & easy part,

    It's because I see the "Devil,  suddenly Dressed in Blue."

    ....we shake hands and she THANKS me kindly, ....moi?????

    ...I think she said,  "--- She wanted to marry me.lol"

    I tease. I jest about that marrying part.

    I turn around, the other kids are stunned, lookin' up at me and I walk on air back to my desk,

    But I can still FEEL Miss M smiling......not grinning,

    yet....glowing... smiling ....INSIDE.

    I Kinda' Really, Liked Miss. "M --"

    Miss Mathematical

    I really did.

     

     [You know something....I would have made a rather COMPASSIONATE, practical College Math Professor.]

    Peace.

    All a Brother Ever Needs Is To Be Happy

    I'm throwing chance out the window this mornin'.
    I don't need a lot of money. Or that perfect girl.

    ( OK, I take that one back, but i'm not gonna trip over a rock, from lookin' )

    I don't mind makin' my Limits & Boundaries, ither.

    All I need is my Wisconsin Badgers baseball cap turned to the back,

    I decided to take a half-hour walk, after an all  Upsided Day.

    I got my Jordan Jacket on,   just a slight cool breeze in my face,
    Everybody's chins up nowadays.

    On my way home I cross a bridge, bridges i'm no longer afraid of,

    Even that long one over the swamp in that Crimson Tide State, taking me back and

    forth to my mom & dad's birthplace,

     Mobile.

    Mary J  fllooding my ears
    I like my ancient Sony Walkman......Just Fine.

    I O'Blige, for the moment this tune fits the Vibe of the city.

    
            I pause over an overpass, and look below,  there's a mother & geese near 

    A Canal,

    I see nearly 8 young!!
    "Mother Goose"  eyes me with her practical eye. I quickly acknowledge the innocent beauty of at least 

    seven or eight Pagoda.......i don't linger to count them,

     

     I gently wish their mom happy mother's day and proceed to move on.

    Up ahead there's this huge crosswalk, merging an I-94 West exit. It's near Saint Paul St.

    Here you have to navigate across  with extreme focus and balance.
    Piece of cake.

     

    
    I'm Sportin' Twin ol' J  Bones, gently pounding pavement,
    and the damp ground is soft, from  the new seeds that have fallen
    from ol'  Rigid Trees.

    FLexIBiLiTy

    And It's the weekend.

    Time off from work to appreciate.
    Have fun, party, exhale, relax, & let go.

    The FleXIBLe Vince Condella certainly knows,

     about High Pressures & Lows

    Feels good to release until that next  wicked cold "front" comes in...

    ..and goes right on through,

     Midwest soldiers/Spiritual soldiers.

     

    The weather's getting warmer w/ less & less Clouds.

    And the Perennials are fighting for your attention again.

    They really don't care, though. Just long as you get the MESSAGE.
    There's Beauty Everywhere.

    They actually rather love it,

     

    Behind the Scenes.

    Stay Humble Milwaukee Badgers&Brewers
    Peace.&Namaste

• Michelangelo Jordan Balanced

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    Let me rephrase that...I mean on the court...any basketball court.

     Michael Jordan was good at what he did.

    I first saw him play as a freshman in college at North Carolina.

    He did this one-handed tuck & cradle like a baby  windmill dunk from the corner of the freethrow line

    and I became FOCUSED on MJ.

    My Uncle assured me Jordan would be awesome in Chicago as I watched that  deep '84 Draft

    which includes one of my favorite people Charles Barkley. Can you imagine that mouth anchoring the 5pm

    6pm  9pm and prime time news........it would be

                                  Hmm.

    Big Mouths can mean  Big Money

    I knew he would be good in the NBA.....but I never expected  Michael  would be

     the GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME!! 

    I still get nightmares of MJ dunking on ex-Buck,

     Randy Breuer.....no mercy...ewwW!.....nasty dunk.....hot NEW POSTER FOR MY WALL!!!

    I have all his SIX CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES ON CD & DVD

    the 55 pt game with the 45 jersey in front of Spike Lee, the 69 pt game,

     that Masterpiece Playoff game

    with 63 pt against Legend Larry Bird. I got them all recorded. Even his appearances on SNL, i once saw him on the OPRAH show, selling clothes and shoes, and i'm keeping tab with his son who won a Illinois state championship this year.

    Bird said later of Jordan after the '86 playoff victory, "---he's God in BasketBall Shoes!"

    M J brought the gift of BALANCE 

    look at his stats from 1988 when he reached his  peak physically nabbing practically every award

    Later honing his skills down a minute level to play a more cerebral game of b-ball

    an Intelligent, Sharing game with new team mates.

    THE BEST PLAYERS  LEARN TO FEEL THE GAME

    an instinctive game of x and o's

     

    Every effort was a best effort and MJ brung it EVERY NIGHT.

    For me to watch him play was  like looking at a work of fine art

    from Da Vinci or Michelangelo

    experiencing art, MJ creating art

    on a hardwood canvas......4 Quarters of emotional highs & lows.

    He had an aesthetic beauty to his game that i have witnessed only  in a few  other NBA Players.

    Pistol Pete Maravich    ...instinctive

    Ray Allen's  jump shot  for example  is a thing of  effortless beauty,

    as witness of Mr Allen's   late 51 pt game against Chicago.

     

    Effortless like J - Bone.

    Jordan loved a CHALLENGE TOO!!

     

    He delivered. He left every FAN FEELING they got their moneys worth.

    Fearless.

    Stubborn.

    Joy.

    Com-Passion.

    Focus.

    BigEgo

    Competitive.

    All Traits of success.

    I read a book by Sam Smith,  called the "Jordan Rules" supposed rules adopted by the nasty Pistons

    to contain the containless.

    for a long time MJ held a grudge against Mr Smith for writing that tell DIFFERENTLY book.

    Hmpf, Agent Smith & the Chosen Neo

    Sam  vs   Michael

    data recorder/ observationalist  versus  the super ego/ american idol who dunks

    Number 23 is far from perfect.  

    Yet  on Hard Wood...... even his mistakes  seemed  POETIC

    HE WAS MICHAELANGELO

    Everytime he laced up those  bad a##  J-Bones, and stepped unto that hardwood,

    He brung "IT"

    that secret ingredient formula-------  the half n half in the snow-ice cream cone

    HE FLEW!!!!

     

    this ode to   

    Michael Jeffrey Jordan

    .....Bill Russell was the GREATEST

    ......yet MJ is the most BALANCED  ALL AROUND NBA PLAYER TO EVER LACE UP

    MJ'S GAME HAD NO WEAKNESSES

    Ron English  didn't need our help  to  decide....the 16TH & 44TH are synchronized

    To pull us out of this anomaly of an economy,

    Danny Gokey captures that magnetic spirit......but where are the  CURLS???

    My grandmother LOVES curls... plus she is very entertaining,

    ...Hmm

• The H1N1 Mutation

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:
    The H1N1 Viral Mutation
    
    Pragmaticism:
    
    "Use common sense and WASH your hands slowly."
    
    Intuitively:
    
    " Diseases are relative to the degree of Rigidity in the Mentality of the Individual."
    
    Balance:
    
    "Be FLexIBle enough to use common sense to wash your hands. All diseases begin in the innermind."
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I am currently studying a Pesticide Book on Turf & Landscaping for
    an upcoming License Exam,....on June 2ND. That's when i take the exam.
    
    In order to apply pesticides in the state of Wisconsin one must be certified & licensed with the
    
    WDATCP (Wisconsin Dept of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection)
    
    
    
    
    Pesticides are any substance used to directly control pest populations. The active ingredient in the chemical compound is what destroys unwanted plants
    
    There are Avicides(Birds) , Herbicides(Weeds), Fungicides(Fungi), and Rodenticides which are used to control the rodent population.
    When utilized, there are deviations in the application, due to overspray & drifting caused by wind conditions and human error.
    
    Not only does this harm the environmnent and humans, yet it affects every facet of life.
    
    So although i will be certified, i will not apply, i need to know this stuff for my pay raise.....but the awareness you gain when you connect the dots is priceless. You see the struggle with humanity attempting to control nature.
    The lessons in the book are invaluable indeed.
    
    
    Here's the link to the invisible. The Flu strains. The H1N1 i will call it.
    
    Pigs are being blamed for everything these days. <sigh!> My Poor Swines. I love pigs.
    
    I tease. But i do love bacon.
    
    
    Now here's the parallel. THERE ARE ALWAYS MUTATIONS
    
    Roaches for instance.
    
    
    
    Pesticide resistance is the inherited ability of a pest to tolerate the TOXIC effects of a particular pesticide.
    
    In Pest Control, roaches have a tendency to MUTATE a STRAIN in their chromosome that becomes RESISTANCE to a particular pesticide application. That susceptible individual. Pests can develop multiple resistances as well.
    
    This mutation benefits the organism.
    
    In other words....the pesticide will FAIL to work any longer. The populational epidemic increases. Through evolution. So to compensate....certified pest applicators
    continually diversify and become more flexible in the types of pesticides they apply. They use sprayers, powders, liquids, granules....also taking in consideration of frequency of pesticide use, amount, mixture, and chemical diversity.
    
    Pesticide applicators learning to use FLExiBILity to their advantage. The roach population responds in check. Adaptation. Adjustment.
    
    
    Now as this relates to the entire H1N1 mental scare.....BECAUSE WHAT YOU RESIST; PERSISTS....
    
    ....however speed of recovery and PHYSICAL healing is in DIRECT relation to the RIGIDITY that is clung to so deeply in the mind. Often these rigid ideas are spread from generation to generation, passed on through DNA.
    
    Vaccinations producing resistance. And these are not always reliable. Because some viral intruders have mutated to overcome OLD FIREWALLS OF RESISTANCE.
    
    Many "Rigid Thoughts" will be held on for unique reasons that are uniquely apparent to that particular SOUL
    
    YET ALL DISEASES ARE CREATED IN THE MIND.
    
    It is what YOU ALLOW TO ENTER YOUR MIND OR THAT WAS ALREADY THERE THAT CAUSED THE INITIAL UNALIGNMENT/IMBALANCE IN THINKING.
    
    The outward manifestations just REFLECTS to you what was Obviously Happening Inward.
    
    However flexibility is freedom. Healing and Resistance to outside viral/bacteria/diseases affects each individual differently. That's because no one can truly heal another's dis-ease....that disease is YOUR'S alone........ BUT YOUR SOUL HEALS.......YOUR OWN MIND
    
    
    ...............and YOUR BODY FOLLOWS,
    
    
    
    
    Not ALL viruses and such are "BAD".......there are FRIENDLY alien-symbiotic life-forms as well.
    
    It's all SYNCHRONIC.
    
    PARALLEL
    
    Just connect the dots.
    
    BALANCE IS KEY.
    
    Be {{[[ FL ex I BLE ]]}}
    
    In the mind.
    The outward manifestations will follow.
    
    Your collective will FEEL less of a need to spread
    MENTAL EPIDEMICS THROUGH THE "AIR" WAVES LIKE WILD-FIRE.
    
    You are behind the controls of your very own life. No one else.
    
    Drive carefully down those many, many diverse roads if you choose.
    
    Take that muddy&rocky&curved& bumpy&pot-holed filled road even slower and more carefully.
    
    Don't forget to enjoy the view, though;)
    
    Peace&Love
    Reporting live from that other windy city up No'th!

• There was REAL Unity in the wo

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    This  is a re post of a blog i wrote back in December 13TH 2008:

    An incredibly moving speech by Martin Luther King Jr immediately flashed through my mind on November 4TH 2008 after 10:00 pm.

    --personally, It is the GREATEST SPEECH i have ever heard.

    In this clip-----King speaks with  {{{{{{FIRE!!}}}}}}

           There was tremendous energy and power in that church. And you get a sense of the urgency at the time in the Black Community. 

         I can feel the energy/emotions they had that night as they gathered together---it's like i can channel it.

     

            Days that seem to be colored only in BLACK / WHITE......this was my perspective of watching old film in Junior High&HS as a teen.

     

    Light----- versus the absence of light -----accurately reflecting the ideas at the time --forever embedded on  video.  

    You Tube has a lot of these speeches & historic memories.

     

     Memories of those times when there was more "U N I T Y" in the word community.

    {back in the day.}

      --- King's delivery here is impeccable,  you are  magnetized as you become focused on the man in the jam-packed church. His polarity/presence must have been overwhelming when he took the center stage.

    Here on this video clip, Martin's  eyes  spew fire and his words are startling  prophetic, 

                  The man  fearlessly channells the power of God  and you know without any shadow of a doubt intrinsically, that somehow he knew in his heart he was going to die soon......... there could have possibly been a death threat/threats, prior to this meeting,  that were  made to him personally or from unknown sources.

     

     

     

     

    The next day he was assasinated.

• TRANSFORMATION

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    THE BUTTERFLY

         A  butterfly is a  natural symbol of Transformation,
    a symbol of effortless change and evolution,
    Like a catepillar  in a cocoon, asleep, awakening  into a magical butterfly...

    You ever see a butterfly rest on a flower?   a lily, an iris, gardenia,

                        a rose

    there is not a painting in any art gallery more exquisite

     than the beauty of a scene,   when  a butterfly flutters

    so gently and serene

    with wings spread openly outward, floating gently upon a flower,

    resting on a rose

     a late afternoon sun resting upon a quiet lake,

    even a dove of peace descending upon the Son 

    I  AM the rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys

    Transformation resting on a red rose
    Effortless beauty overshadowing anything Van Gogh ever envisioned on canvas,

    A red rose is a young woman of power,  

    while she endures the trials&tribulations of a life lived,

    this catepillar undergoes the transition into a strong woman...
    ....it is DIVINE. A woman with divine strength and thorns that cut if held to tightly

    A thing of beauty to be admired, held gently, not too tightly.

     Effortless beauty

    There is nothing more beautiful than a woman, this is why women love flowers,
    It reflects effortless beauty,

    Like millions of butterflies in the Garden of Eden,

    a rose is a  rose is my mom is my sister is my niece

    Jesus holding his counterpart Mary in a tender embrace

     

     equals/intellects

    a delicate piece of you that you love in someone else

    this you see in yourself

     one rose, divine mother

    a dozen roses,  divine women,

    if a man loves&respects his mother, he learns to love&respect all roses

• KNOWING----

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    ----as opposed to beliefs.

     

        Beliefs are powerful, and whether they are known or unknown, they still set the stage for your experiences and existence. In all honesty, do you really know what it is you believe in? Have you self-selected  and consciously planted your beliefs in your psyche as you would purposefully plant a garden? Exactly what beliefs have you inherited as treasured heirlooms? What patterns of commonality flow through your family gene's? What specific issues do members of different generations of your family all have in common? Which particular situations are forever on re-run for you and your family clan at annual family gatherings. How often are YOU the tragic star of the show?

    Further insight----What thoughts and feelings do you have upon awakening in the morning? How do you feel about your dreams? Do you even remember your dreams?  How do you feel about your bedroom and what do you use it for?

    {{{Don't feel bad, i rarely sleep or use my bedroom, my bed is my living room couch.lol}}}

    What feelings surface when you evacuate your bowels in the morning and bathe your body? Do you value your body? What are your feelings about SEX? What mainly do you use your body for? Is it benign or detrimental influences put by you on your temple? What do you think about food? What does the word "home" mean to you?

    WHAT INFLUENCE DOES YOUR FAMILY HAVE IN DETERMINING YOUR BEHAVIOR? 

    How do you feel about fun? Do you laugh a lot, or laugh very LITTLE? Matter of fact, what is it  you BELIEVE  you deserve out of life?

    Here's an experiment:

     jot down on a piece of paper or on a note pad

    ---at least 12 beliefs that you carry around in your psyche like luggage. Write these beliefs down like statements, your so-called facts about reality. Include additional beliefs about health, wealth, and happiness.

    [If you are in a fine restaurant, please write on a napkin, i always do.lol]

    After a week come back and take an honest, hard, good look at what you have proclaimed on paper. When you look at each statement, be aware of how your body feels. Are you breathing deeply, is it  shallow hulls of controlled air into your diaphragm, or are you holding your breath, are you taking quick short breaths. Are your teeth clenched? Maybe the jaws of your muscles are laxated?  The muscles under your brows and your bloodflow pressure are pure indicators of your alignment/agreement with anything.

    How do you FEEL about what you wrote? Which statements would you like to change? Or---[[[Expand]]] upon? Or maybe you no longer feel that a statement reflects who YOU ARE!

                                                      
        FLEXIBILITY IS FREEDOM.

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

    Yup, Yup------that's right! your ears do not deceive you.

    43 y o Black male dancing w/o straining or breaking something!

    

    I am literally dancing to to melodic grooves of CB in my high rise luxurious apartment this very moment. Well, i am taking a breather to type this post for my Chi Town readers. {and i do kid about the luxury apt part}

    Chris Brown and Rihanna had a knock down drag out fight last week prior to the Grammys Show. We all know CB had some other groupie/groupies on the side who probably look better and will do things the "R" will probably never DO. Still Rihanna is HOT.

    And i'm reeeally disappointed in CB right now. NEVER EVER EVER HIT A FEMALE DUDE. You were cheating, i'm certain. Personally i don't care about the cheating part, but your aggression against our BLACK QUEENS AND BLACK GODDESSES is going to be difficult to forgive.

    Ohh,  NOT ME.....i pass no judge-ment.....it's my Black Sisters to whom you must suffer the wrath. I DO FEEL YOUR PAIN NOW.

    K .....back to the smooth grooves of CB.....moving the coffee table to the side.........amp-ed up the volume on my HDTV....clicking the PS3..."x"...button to resume

    .......{singing&dancing....."Aiiin't No Waaaaaaaay!!!"}

    mm-hm, mm-hm

    heeeey!!!!!

• What IS "Truth?"

  • From: F0x6Fan
  • Description:

                    "What IS this thing called, --Truth?!"

    Logicaltruth-adoseoftruth-mytruth-ifilustruth-
    obamatruth-georgewbushtruth-KBtruth

    {women are more evolved than men ya' know}

    Better yet- is truth/the nature of being"real"

     The mind defines truth as the acting  outwardly/manifestations/of  doing that which is attuned or apparent within  the mind....YOUR beliefs....YOUR thoughts.....YOUR MORALS

     ::::ENTER THE MONKEY WRENCH::::

    Truth Is.

    what {{{{{FEELS}}}}}} like truth to you??...is it asingingbird'struth...thetruthintheroarofaproudlion

    ....thefirsttimeyouevermadelovetruth

    ...arosestruth...which is even truer

                         ....i tell you this.....

    truth is defined by the "LIES."

               What is a LIE?????

    nothing but false evidence appearing real.

    eliminate the fear.

    then shall your truth stand with stillness before you

    spirit speaking:

    TRUTH IS

    .....nothing more nothing less
