"Joseph, How does the heading "My Worst Day at Lost Endeavors Guest Home" grab you?"
"I don't know - it seems pretty Gloomy to me."
Sky gazers asking questions - seeing what the stars are Doing - - They receive a major warning - - to try and save them from Ruin
And now the punch line to an old Joke. - - - - - and then God cut off the fourth and final leg of the frog - - and he said "Jump! - - - Jump! - - " and writes down in his note pad "Frog goes deaf".
We're just Peachy with our black humor these days, aren't we? I wanted to talk more about this Venus reestablishment of forward motion thing. I've been redefined, at least with my relation to the staff and the playing rules, which have Changed. It's not a healthy situation at all. If I knew any lyrics to "Model Citizen" by Alice Cooper I would quote them here. But let's talk about this Com Cast and Time-Warner cable merger that's on the fast track to conclusion now. This Nor-Man Gold-Man guy on the Chicago station was talking about after three today, after I got off the phone to my Mom. It's like with XM and Sirius sattelite radio a few years back. It's the two biggest corporate giants in a given venue of service getting a virtual monopoly of customers. Time-Warner and Comcast argue in Court that "While we monopolise the Cable market- - there is still internet live streaming and sattelite and over the air TV. Norman counters that Time-Warner is also involved in a whole lot of other communication venues besides Cable TV. Norman does not like all of this corporate consolidation. They used to have many phone company options. Now we are down to four and they are threatening to go lower. President Obama shows no inclination to repeal Health Care but rather like a Captain he is choosing to go down with the ship, and take most of us with him in the process. Clearly this health care thing "redefines all the relationships" in the health care industry and government like the perverbial cammel has stuck its nose under the tent flap, and now wants to intrude further. At this point I see nothing good by governments continued involvement because it's doing to solve any of the basic problems in the health care insurance industry, but can only interfere and complicate - and make things worse. This Trans Pacific Trade agreement is something the media STILL is not talking about, and I am not at all assured that the Republican congress won't pass the thing out of some trans-global internalist trade agenda of the tea party, which they don't even have the honesty to admit. It looks like a good way for the President to "make nice" to the tea party and score brownie points with them.
Joe Drisco says they have a major "smog problem" in Denver these days, but it's a haze of marijuana smoke, because all of the stoners will be headed there this summer. I said, "Oh, then I guess it will be like the Secomd Coming of the Heit Ashberry days". Here is a rock trivia quiz just to test whether you were a genuine Stoner with a capital S in the sixties. As you know songs have musical "bridges" in the middle. So does the RS song "Dandelion". Convince me you were there. Name the instrument used in the solo lead of the song "Dandelion". The Beatles thought this instrument was too strange even for them. It got used but one time in a looped track in "Revolution No 9".
Some things in this Venus cycle - - go by unnoticed at least in any foreseable "Redefining Event' in my life. Two of these astrological formations were in fact favorible to me- both interestingly in September of many decades ago - - 1967 and 1975. In 1967 I entered the High School year as a Senior and that's always an ego boost, at least initially. And in 1975 I started Golden West sound engineering in early September. And in November of 2010 this was a favorible period. Not only did I get my good Camera, and also money for Christmas (a week early) but also it was the advent of Dana and his fifty cent coffee for a large cup, and this favorible climate had been around some weeks already before I learned about it. I also found Dana to be a positive and enlightened person, and someone I learned a lot from.
April of 2009 was another of these "key dates". Now kiddies, can any of you students think what event may have occurred in April of 2009 - oh - right around tax day, that might have been a new mennacing Deception that would stir up all of out lives and consciences so that never again would we be the same? We have of course yet another of these pivot dates of November of 1994. Of course this is when the House of Representatives went Republican for the first time in forty years. Who would have known then what a truely precedent setter this was. To paraphrase a saying "You don't know what you've got - - till quite some time after you lose it". Clearly there was a "warning shot" of what these Republicans were all about with the famed "Shut Down" of government one year later in 1995. But this shut down was far less serious as far as I can tell because I learned that the Communacations bill was signed in February of 1996, which is another of those things like the Trans Pacific Trade Treaty that the Republicans couldn't wait to come to a major accord with a President of the other party. This communacations reform bill might just be the Worse single piece of legialation in the past fifty years. We live with it and suffer the consequences of it every day in the "Ignorance Enforced by Law" now on our national Media. But just think - - no matter how BAD Ronald Reagan was at his worst- - the threat was tempered knowing that Hell Itself would freeze over before he ever got the House. And this was a major solice indeed. But I never thought what happened a few days ago - - not just the event but the oh so troublesome Aftermath - - that may cast a shadow, as long as I continue to stay here.
I want to conclude by returning to one final thing we already discussed- - . Since John Lennon cannot speak for himself I would like to speak up for him. John said "The Beatles were really fun and good times and all that but the only problem is that we stayed together two years too long. If we'd broken up two years before we did, it would have ended a lot better". Since the official break-up as the group knew it was in September of 1969 this takes back to our old friend September of 1967. While Lennon and the other Beatles may have been initially intrigued by the Maharishi, John and me are alike in that we are intrigued by things for a while- - but that doesn't necessarily mean we want to be "married to them" in any long term contractual relationship. John writes in the song "I'm so tired" how weary and stressed out he is, and how he can't sleep and his mind is going overtime. I think he knew he was here in India and there was this "Presence" that was now making decisions in his life. First it was Paul and now it's the Maharishi. John wanted to be free to leave and make his own decisions - - not George, not the Maharishi, not Cynthia. The whole "Sexy Sadie" thing was an OUT for John Lennon. It was the incident, his Ticket out of the so called Comittment. That's what a lot of us need to look for, who feel trapped in something or by some One - - our "Sexy Sadie" moment. That point where you say "This is impermissible. This will not Stand". With President Clinton of course, that moment never came. People didn't care. It's like if Nick Fallon went to the police and brought his bird watcher witness with him - - and told the Cops everything that had happened to him - - he'd have every right to doubt the outcome hearing the words in his mind "Oh Nick, you're just a pain in the ass. You've got no friends here - - Nobody Cares- - just get out of here". And if Nick were smart he's never want to see Salem again. But Nick likes to Play with Fire in ways I wouldn't advise.
