ARTIFICIAL PARADISE,INC. from Jp Frenay on Vimeo.
I use to wash my dad’s old Ford Pick-up. The holes in the body walls provided a most pleasing smell while still moist. I would breath in the the unknown and go through doorways to another place. I would sometimes ask, am I addicted? Some day, there will be only crab grass and cockroaches. I miss not smelling the world, I miss that reassurance.
It didn’t really matter which direction we traveled. West to East, or, East to West. From my back seat I would peer out the window and look up into the endless small canyons which lay to the south side of the highway. There, would be my secret laboratory. The base from which I would go out from and explore the world. A castle of my mind with every conceivable need spread before my eye. There, out from Van Horn, in the monotony of endless miles were desires that were to never be. My finger keeping my place within the Terror In the Navy; my mind having need to be elsewhere, I would stare off, up into those canyons; looking for my fortress of solitude. They were really wonderful miles. The back seat would have to do.
No matter what {time} you wake up, the only thing that matters is that first cup of coffee.
OK, this was posted on White Chapel and I just can not resist. For those of you who do not know, Disney bought Marvel Comics today. My favorite author/writer is Warren Ellis. Warren is currently writing Astonishing X-Men as well as Anime for Marvel. It all boils down to this and I give credit @cornelius.urquhart a fellow White Chapel-er; and the future looks like this:
Never forget to stop and look around your world. Soak in in. Peek around any corner you desire. Sneak into the crevices and touch. Partake in your desires no matter where they lead you. If you step up to a mountain, climb it. If you stumble into the crest of a wave lapping onto the sand at you feet, wade in, jump in; do not be afraid to get wet. If you lay upon a bed of grass, smell it. Both giant trees and small flowers have no scale or distain to be a part of your reality. Open your eyes and never close you heart to discovery. Never let the bitter angels of mans inability to properly grow up stagnate your ability to observe, touch, hold, consume and indulge your wants and desires to learn. There is much out there. Do not let anyone tell you any location or knowledge is prohibited to you. Take hold of your mind, hold on and press the button. Steer it with cheer as it is your vehicle to everywhere. Enjoy the trip children, your world is so much bigger than mine. Do not be afraid, embrace it. Make it yours. Hold it in your hands, pull it, squish it and fashion it into any shape you can conceive. Pass it along to your grandchildren as a more better place that I was able to leave for you.
Friday is FA’s day and this afternoon, this package got dropped off at my door. It just doesn’t get any better.
Opening the package is always a blast.

And, there is that new notebook in my ‘White Chapel’ man purse.
Life is good today. I just love getting crap from Avatar.
this is what you find when you get up at 2:50 am and decide to take a run around the internet.
This is the Nov. 11th 1956 appearance of Walt Disney on What’s My Line. What is interesting to see is the famous eyebrow raising of Walt’s. Also of interest is his ‘down beat’ almost secretive attitude of what he was planning for Disneyland. Also, the money plug by J. Lewis is funny especially today. For fans of older TV game shows and of Walt Disney, enjoy this look into the past. It was a different time when TV was new.
I am reminded of the time Walt was asked about running for political office to which he responded…
"Why be a governor or senator when you can be king of Disneyland?"
Most of you will not watch this to the end.
Every day almost everyone of us wakes up and would like to be somewhere else. Not all, but most everyone. The reasons are varied. The desire of the ‘need’ is either real or preserved to be.
I often wonder out loud about the world of my grand-children. I feel I have missed the question. I should be wondering out loud about this afternoon! Our world is changing. Bruce Sterling offers sage advice not only for the developer but advice for us all.
Do yourself a favor and watch this. You may even want to take notes. Tomorrow is here, it is no longer the world I grew up in. I, we; need to accept this fact. It will all be different yet again by the time I wake up tomorrow.
Augmented Reality- ha! not new. It happened the first morning of my life. Now, it can happen over your lunch break. How to make it? Do not be afraid. Accept, adapt and embrace.

I must tell you that deep down in the bottom of my heart; I understand and agree.
