San Francisco's Street Pathological Citizens Awards...

San Francisco is an amazing place to work, there is so much to do and see and experience. I love the sites, the restaurants and most of all the people.

Some of the most talented, bizzare and amazing folks from all over the world come to San Francisco and never leave. I am particularly fond of our famous street pathological citizens, these three are close to my heart...

1. There is a guy here in the Financial District that brings his keyboard out around noon everyday and plays it as loud and as horibbly as possible. I dropped a dollar in his bucket one day and he then smiled at me and played a perfectly classic beautiful rendition of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Brilliant! Who ever you are... I love you man!

2. Of course there is Frank Chu... of "12 Galaxies" - I bought him a beer once. He talked my ear off. He is a man with a mission. Keep up the good work Frank!
Ya Gotta Love Frank, check him out here...




3. The Famous Fisherman's Wharf David Johnson "The Bush Man" is one of my favorite brilliant street performing locals. Check out this video to get an idea why...

Classic VW Art Car Blues...


I have super bad news... : (

I took out a loan and just had the transmission, clutch & brakes replaced on the bus...Just when I thought she was purring happy and finally fixed...one week later she hoarked a piston and now I have lost the engine. I wish the mechanic would have caught that little detail before she crapped out on me. At least she didn't catch fire. That's what happens when you fall in love with a classic car, with an attitude.

The rebuild is going to cost something like $3900 to do (I thought this was a little high, I'm getting a second opinion/quote soon)...so it looks like the Fahrvernpussy will be hanging in the driveway until I can find a VW bus mechanic who can work on her (Hell, there may be a creative artcar fundrasier down the road... : )

I need to get some other little set of wheels in the meantime...Something hideous but runs great! Like a reiliable granny car. Looks like another little artcar may be brewing... one that is reliable.

Holiday Eating Etiquette

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.


2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!


3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.


4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.


5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello!?!?


6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.


7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.


8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?


9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.


10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.


Remember this motto to live by:"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!


"Have a great holiday season

A New Day for Southern Pie...


I hope that some old black man in the south who has been treated like shit for years gives it to some whitey republican asshole today...

"Shut your Republican American Pie hole, we have a Black President Now."

Election Night 2008...

I don't own a television. I decided to end my "Programming" after my departure from North Berkeley. I don't need to even watch the news online... It is no shock that U.S. Presidents aren't elected in this country for as much as we wish they were. They are appointed.

The J.F.K. karmic echo smells like Barack Obama. Wow, his initials are "B.O." It would be cool if his middle name was Roscoe, "B.R.O.?" That would be too krunk. His actual name is Barack Hussein Obama II. That can't be good. Who knows McCain could be the guy, they are still counting ballots... let's see what Florida comes up with this time.

I didn't vote for Obama or McCain, they both have attended Bilderberg meetings. Yet when you think of who would be president if either were assassinated, which Vice President would you want in their stead? Think about it. Who is less embarrassing?

The only presidential candidate for 2008 I would be proud to speak for my country is Senator Ron Paul. Getting rid of the Federal Reserve Bank Cartel was the greatest idea ever!

I voted for him.

Ian Xel Lungold - Mayan Calendar & The Schedule of Creation Explained

This is the most powerful and inspiring series of studies I've found... Watch at least 5 - 16 when you get a chance.  AMAZING INFO!!!!!!

This is a presentation based on Dr. Calleman's break thru discoveries of the structure of the Mayan Calendar as it relates to the Evolution of Consciousness. "Ian takes a complex subject such as the Mayan Calendar and makes it very easy to understand on a personal level." He also clearly points out how the Schedule of Creation can be tracked when one looks at past historical events and relates that information to what to expect in the near future leading up to 2012.
