Life, Death, the Universe & Tip Jars

This apron, and many others like it, are offered on my merch sites like zazzle.

It’s all about the tips and the tip jars, when you’re working 14 hours a day on minimum wage and you’re serving scalding hot coffee to a table-full of wiseguy cheapskates at 3 am in the morning.

It’s tempting to have an accident with the coffee, but you don’t — you remain calm and carry on, serving the coffee without spilling a drop, and that’s exactly what you’re going to do during the “Evil Times Ahead, Please slow down to 35 MPH until the speed barriers have been crossed”.

So I figure that we’ve got a couple of months to figure out what to do with the rest of our lives before the trucks come to take us away — and I have a plan. Continue reading

Bronze-Age, Anyone?

King Kong Takes a Selfie

The main thing is to stay in your home without ever leaving it — even for a minute —  and to have enough food and water on hand to enable you and your family to survive for the next twelve years. Everything else is negotiable.

Why twelve years? I’ve told you many times before why — there’s a big chunk of meteorite heading this way, and nobody will be in a mood to cooperate enough to fight it.

You really need to read my books to get my jokes. Continue reading

Psychic Reading for Today!

We have a full set of holiday gifts here ready to ship to you!

For several years now, I have pondered the issue of psychic readings for publication, although in my books, I often will prognosticate rather freely, as is my wont. (look it up) I decided to experiment with these publishable readings — please let me know if you want more of them … although, I should know, huh? Continue reading

Art Holds Its Value

 

Van ostade original etching “Smoker at the Window” — $36,500.

Something I’ve noticed and will share with you is that with all the fluctuations of gold, silver, platinum and U.S. dollars, there’s one thing that stays on a value curve, disregarding the explosive political, economic and cultural fluctuations that inevitably occur in any administration, and that’s high-grade fine art by a recognized master. I’ll elaborate on this theme:

The Historical Data Speaks for Itself!

In a sort of demented — meaning “formerly mented” — way, I wanted to share these videos with you, in this time of horrible dread and morbid fascination.

In short, I wanted to demonstrate with the following videos that everybody is incredibly anxious about the outcome, which we won’t know for at least a week, unless Trump’s minions come out by the millions, which I don’t think will happen.

Don’t forget, Trump is a totally stable genius, which he himself admits. Continue reading

A Song by God

Did you know that I make many sizes of CQR ammies???

How to use Suno to create the God State:

Suno really opens the doors for poets and lyricists who might not be functioning and professional enough musically to bring their words to life through music, on their own. In my case, I can no longer make music on any of my instruments, so suno is a blessing.

The copyright ownership is a huge plus, too, making it more than just a creative exercise—it’s a potential income stream and a way to really establish ownership of your work — I’m assuming you’re using the “custom” selector. If you just push a button, and allow the program to just make up something, it’s not music.

There’s something deeply empowering in the fact that the artist owns the copyright, for writers who might have felt locked out of the music world in the past twenty years or so. I’m talking about poets who create the verse and then pop it into the song machine to create a DEMO that can make it to the market either as a product or as a suggestion for a product, meaning it’s re-recorded with live instruments and vocals.

Not a long of songs on the market today can say as much.

And from the God State perspective, the song creation process can be a sort of “tuning in” to deeper layers of inspiration, letting the words, sound, and rhythm just flow together and become expanded by the musical notations.

Go directly from the basics of getting set up on Suno for ten bucks a month, giving you all the techniques for pulling that God State energy into the song, so the resulting music doesn’t just sound good but resonates at a higher level with the listener.

I’ll lay odds that people would love a walk-through from someone who gets the deeper layers of that creative process — hopefully yourself. Continue reading

A Flurry of Recent Songs…

Sure, I know, on several of these songs, I posted them a day or two late, but I had to wait for the video to fully assemble, or something. Anyhow, it took a while.

In the meantime, I also managed to squeak out a song or two that might survive the ages — or at least until spring.

I’m hoping you’re enjoying the songs not only as entertainment but as a challenge, to go thou and do likewise.

In other words, try it, you’ll like it. Continue reading
