you will know that I am in the infant recording/creating stages of my follow up 2 my first solo album "Something." my next experiment I call "Anything."

I love watching the process and this was special and for me life changing
Maybe its just where I am @ right now but this is speaking 2 me
I must share

Africa......Smoke and Mirrors...

Ok, so for a few days now I've been seeing this on the news.
Crazed Somalian pirates attacking US NAVY ships off the coast....
Hmmm.....the media is real funnystyle with how they portray africa sometimes....
Lets talk a little bit about Somalia for those of you who dont know.....

For years European ships have been dropping Nuclear waste off the coast of Somalia, And the people of Somalia have been getting wierd Cancers and radiation sickness for the toxic waste. And this has been goin on for so long, that the people in Somalia lose out on thier fishing industries and so forth also. So.....If your people are dying and your water is being poisined, and you try to stop ships that pass through your coast....your a pirate?

Wow ok, I actually did some research on my last post....

Do Thee Impossible!

The Great Crevase Edgar Mueller!
Together with up to five assistants, Mueller painted all day long from sunrise to sunset. The pictures appeared on the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire , Ireland , as part of the town's Festival of World Cultures.
He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create the 250 square metre image of the crevasse, which, viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D. He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.
Just shows, If you believe u really CAN achieve.......(yes i am taking it back to 3rd grade)
