Thumbs up Fairmount, The Vanguard Word and how to make a few bucks

Let me say this about that, and that being, a person is only half a person, the other is there expressions.

Now you are saying, what is this all about???????

AS I am sitting here on the Schuylkill river, I was thinking, drinking my wine, of today, and the mysteries of light, from just a walk to a window, its like a painted word.

Just from the light, the overflow, that is placed befor your eyes, the geometrical forms from a window that was made in 1805, the ray of light strikes the glass and its reflection leaps upwards from the surface once again at the same angle, but in the opposite direction. it is like divine mathematics of perspective.

There is a point I am trying to make Try to stay with me, I am a little drunk, on my Mad dog 20/20 grape., So is my cat FUZZY

I call it " traffic with the wind " but there is a few bucks to be made here, if only some out there think

The arbitrary color and the fantastical arrangements of painters that seem gifted at a glance, but they are graffiti taggers, and they do there work on other people' property.

This is where they are not thinking. there first impressions of everything that is painted directly on the spot, has always a strength, a power, a vividness of touch that one doesn't find again in the studio.

The ways of capturing that light and that evanescence are all new ways of making money, that is lost on the taggers.
It is like the offbeat of the Academie Suisse, where there were no examinations and no tuition, where Courbet and Manet worked, as well as Pissarro stoped in to meet friends. It was the bohemian life in Paris, in the early years of the 1860's

There graffiti of sketchiness, as well as there drawings with there rough drafts, is like Nature, it is all right as an element of study, but it offers no interest.

With the introduction of metal-tubed pigments in the 1840's try and think, this elusive moment is here now befor your eyes.
PUT YOUR ART ON CANVAS, not on walls, you can start to make a few bucks, DDDDDDaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Your eyes will finally open, you will get to understand nature, and at the same time love it.

Suddenly a veil will be torn away, and you can realize what painting could be like. It is a single example, of your art, and the independence, that your destinty will open to you.

Other wise, you are just an a$$hole painting on someones wall, that will be removed in a few days.

Here in the land of Chestnut, far to the East, a great market exists dating back to the times of Babylonia. (or is it Bologna?)... reminiscent of a Jewish bazaar, a Moroccan Market,

a Covent Garden of inexpensive wares apropos to the taste of urban hausfraus of Nawrth Filidealfiae and Centre Citiye exists. Shopkeeps emigrate from far corners of this good Earth to distribute goodes like the dyverse arraye of sandals for the Samaritans who plod the concouryses, for players of baysekitbol, and great champyion of the Brod Street Marython.

Much work of artisans from all corners of this citye cometh here to this unique place to put their mark on the great edifices and the many Temples of Sneaker that line our footpath. At one local establyshment where local men and local women in love congregayte to play curious games, a large and omynous set of letters was painted over the building... before Passover no less!

Luckilye, the devil curse was quickly snuffed out, and lo 'n behold, a priest from St. John's came forth and prayed with us of the gaye... and the scrawl was banished from this place.

Diversification, is to limit losses.
Indexing, serves to point out.
Vanguard, a foremost position in a trend of movement, AKA to make a few bucks

Let me say this about that, My reading is imagination that plays us false. A sum total of both, that turns into the same. It comes from acts of day-to-day, most it has original views, its lustre is to magnetized your eyes.

This so called magnetism,exerts self-trust, that comes from the nature of a few words. A baffling star?????? is there parallax without calcuable elements which shoots a ray of beauty even if it is trivial and impure????????

My storys, are like my roses under my window, they make no reference to former roses or to better ones yet to come, they are for what they are, WE all are what we are. WE and they exist to-day, there is no time to us, or them. There is simply the rose, and simply us.

As in life some of us try to remember, or postpones our life, some do not live in the present, but with reverted eyes try to lament in the past, or, heedless of the riches of friends that surround them, and some, stand on tiptoe to foresee the future

Illusion is the subject that remains unsaid.

I am on my last glass of wine, after this there is no more,
Fuzzy my cat just cracked open a big bottle of THE Captain, along with the Ginger, it is going to be a good night.

You do not need something to smoke to see what others do not see

Let me say this about our past leaders in the city of Philadelphia,

Can they by justice or by crooked ways of deceit ascend a loftier tower which may be a fortress to them and all there days.
