Are there local legends you've heard that are not as widely recognized that you could share with us?

Being from the Northeast United States, there were a few I carried in my "baggage" until about age 16. The Jersey Devil of the Pine barrens 

(not this one)

is a popular tease for local Halloween events

and addressing letters to friends who still live in…

NatureJunkie's blog sparked memories of the many horror stories and strange local lore I've learned about since I moved to the state of New Jersey.  Weird NJ Magazine explained the details and history of many of them for me. I have a few of the first publications of this bizarre mag. 

In my Weird NJ thoughts, I was reminded of the park we lovingly…

the things you look at;  change.

Why Do You have unfinished projects?

That's the first thing to come to mind when the concept is addressed.

If it's because you don't like the way something looks that you have indeed completed? Why?

Is it because there are pieces missing which are beyond your own control?

Is it because you fear how it will be received?

Is it because you had an idea and your…

AT the Bottom is a Parody Video which might need explaining to be properly Consumed.

I've been SO pleased to see a relatively obscure singer/songwriter(Sia Furler) become more widely recognized for a few songs which are NOT mainstream sell-outs.  She sang vocals on a few Zero 7 songs. Zero 7 is a fluid group of artists who record with various Vocalists, including Tina Dico.…

As a meditation from this "so-called Life", I enjoyed clipping together a 2nd set of "pole diary" clips to a song by a band I've been following for a while now. 

If the body and ever-changing commitments cooperate, I can keep fitting in this hobby which brings me joy for SO many reasons.

I realize "friends only" setting may not work here,  we may not even be "friends" on this site.  It's always just been "home", but If you're READING this, you must be a friend, because who else Visits?

I'm sitting here "being still" (which is rare), so I snipped together bits from trying out the spinny pole.

Finally the day came when there was no choice but to get…

Since I made a new video.

Time, Life, and Technical boundaries all take turns keeping me from creating.

I'm sure you artists know how that game goes.

This one took since January to get done. There was alot of learning, waiting and "stuff", and nearly 3 years on my way to somewhere else, before everything suddenly changed.

Finally I've got something NEW to offer…

1. DREAM - Last Night: In a small community of Cro-Magnon man, as a result of daily life conflicts about carrying water, fighting over women, sleeping space in a cave, and food; TWO males enter a heated argument, in GESTURES. I recall trying to decipher whether they mean, "you sat on my water holder" or " you bastard, you humped my woman".  I only remember…

 Save The World ....

(this got me going this morning and the first Image in my mind was Chig and his doggies).

Let's do this…

1. Man Returns to bank after robbery to withdraw money for an escape taxi.…

I lose the power of speech temporarily from some of these.

I adore acoustic performances and collabs between friends. Some bands have become standard collaborators and it gets old quickly (Coldplay anyone? I love coldplay but). Nearly all hiphop and rap artists sample music but that's a formula for the craft and I enjoy it as another Flavor of music.

When friends come together because they admire each other's talent, it's always apparent in the…

For Organizational purposes - I will be LINKING Video responses to Pypermarru1's - Welcome New liver Within this blog.  I WILL update the blog with each addition, to keep it accessible on the front page.

Complain to CHIG if you don't like…

When I was teaching in the middle school computer lab, I kept the kids connected to MIT's web where students and profs share current research and developments. I introduced my youngest to it, and he's kept up. Some perspective on the next generation is apparent in that he doesn't find THIS development (below) quite as exciting as I do. To him, it's just "ordinary".  I LOVE these KIDS!

This current development by students at University of Pennsylvania,…

...to start THIS one off without some things

and take some "other" things into the Future with us.

Maybe this can serve as a tablet upon which we carve what we plan to leave behind and what we find worthy of taking into 2012. ( I'm not keeping score).

A daunting task; to compile such a list, but if…

You don't know what they want

So you can't give them what they want

They don't know what they want

So they can't ask for what they want

When they think they know what they want, they try to get it

Usually using encoded signals which are easily misread

When they ask directly for what they want, that usually means it's too late

You blew it, because you're supposed to KNOW what cannot be known

Don't you…
