Amazing to think I am back a school.

I finished move in around 2, and spent around a half hour getting food.

Parents left, (and then I spoke to iran) 2 and a half hours organizing and unpacking.
After, I relaxed had a smirnoff and then took a four hour nap.

Most of the suitemates so far seem to be okay. There is a social group however that already exists so I think it might be hard to get to know them (12,000 Copine) (who is in the group but not in the suite) knows me…. so maybe it won’t be so bad.

But when we were in the kitchen I felt kinda ignored =/ oh well….
(I doubt there is room for Nina, not ) mean to me or open to me or not because I won’t be here all year… I’m hoping to graduate in the winter. I woke up from my nap not feeling too hot. I feel like I have a head cold coming down and I’m kinda sick to my stomach… but I’m going to go to bed soon and hopefully in the morning I’ll be better. After all before my nap (around 6) I had been up SINCE 6 am.

I think I was just exhausted and heat exhausted.

Anyway, here is my reading for this semester:

But when we were in the kitchen I felt kinda ignored =/ oh well….

Beggars

Whelp. I am %95 packed. There are a few things around my room I need to look at, but everything else… all packed.

Can’t believe summer is officially over. Phew. Didn’t think I’ll see the day… always say that.

Anyway today was interesting.

I had lunch with a good friend of mine from high school who went to Caltech and just finished. She’s starting Graduate school at MIT this fall. We met a California Pizza Kitchen. I had a chicken sandwich with herb and onion bread, lettuce, avocado and bacon. Delicious.

I then left for dick blicks and I got there okay. I found what I needed okay. Mounting board was on sale!! Buy 2 get one free… so I bought 4 and got 2 free. I also got copper etching solution since I have a project in mind and the solution is hard to get, and paper binding compound to make my own pads of paper.

I used up a gift card I had from my birthday. I also didn’t have to pay for parking!! Awesome.

I had an interesting experience today though. I am completely aware of the number of homeless people and the beggars out in between the streets holding a signs, etc. but I never had anyone come up to me and INTENTIONALLY beg… I was walking back to my car an african american woman came up to me, less than five inches from my face looked directly in my eyes and told me that she appreciated how nice I was to her and told me a sob story and begged for money. I told her that I was an unemployed art student who doesn’t earn much. Then she proceeded to ask if I could buy her a cup of coffee, and I told her -again- that I was an unemployed art student who didn’t have much to give, I only had enough money left to finish my errands for the rest of the day.

Ironically enough all what was going on through my mind was the CBS series about Hunger in America, and synchronistically that same series was on again tonight.

I decided to RS this because I took it as a “sign” something to make me pay attention.

Below is the content from the reversal. F is Forward and R is reverse. Everything in parentheses was not in the original recording but the people on the other side intercepted and changed. Sound goes through many materials, and here it can pick up sounds on the other side of the veil or mind. We are getting information from the Universal Mind, the part of our brains that we’ve been shut off that we can’t use. This mysticism is based on the fact that reality is indeed a mirror, a hologram.

F: (come here… working.) (Mouth) There’s a woman today (big net) Um (this is it) that begged for money (it begged for monies). um and, it got me thinking, because it has never happened to me and I kinda wished that I could help her but I didn’t (hide) personally have any money left. (seen bigger) uh was there anything about this that’s trying to teach me? because if so…. (odd). (He’ll be great)(you forgot a mug) that moment in time. (it was trying to get me to see). And (follows also interesting) that um, they’re continuing the “hunger in america” series tonight on TV. So, (she’s living in the ghetto, hunger) and, um synchronistically too. (Wish, out backwards, wait) (so many beggars) this never really been apart of my life. Um, so yah.

I’m not sure what the RS community has to say about this, but I find the reversals intriguing.

Cable Car Concepts

So I’ve been emailing Cable Car Concepts to see what it would take to ‘gut’ and transform a used vehicle to what I have in mind. A brand new vehicle would be $100,000 which would be as much as a small house … so they also suggested that I’d buy a used vehicle for $34,000 and then their deal would be to drop the price to $25,000 and have it be under my budget $30,000. Which would leave $5,000 to put the electrical and water systems in. They would also ‘gut’ it for me and take out the benches. Also the used vehicle is stationed in NJ which isn’t a very far from Boston or Pennsylvania.

Makes me wish I had $30,000 now.

Working for a year at a decent job (25 hrs a week, for 25/hr) I would be ready in a year (260 days x $625 = 162,500). BUT if I was working 25 hrs a week at $15 (260 x $375 = $975,000) so I would still be ready in a year if I was working entry level as a graphic designer living at home. I plan to live at home for a year, unless I find someone to room with.

Portfolio Gallery

PHEW!

I finally uploaded ALL my work from college and client to my new portfolio gallery. I am using Zenphoto and I LOVE it! I totally recommend using it for a gallery managing system. It was relatively easy to set up and it makes it a lot easier to upload images without having to deal with code! Amazing. It utilizes MYSQL database and PHP so make sure your domain can support that. You can also upload .zips and .mov, .mp3 and .mp4. Yippie.

Its totally customizable too. I just figured out the PHP structure of the site and figured out the basic structure of the layout theme and CSS and just put my own CSS into the style.css file and assigned the right labels to the right divs, etc and done!

Def recommend it.

East Coast Earthquake: Mineral, Virgina

Above image is a google earth earthquake radar.

Ever since May, 25, 2011 when I wrote about the New Madrid Line being affected which could possibly produce aftershocks all the way to the east coast if affected badly, I’ve been half expecting an earthquake on the east coast. While this earthquake wasn’t on the New Madrid line, a HAARP ring WAS detected there. The earthquake happened on an old unseductive cratonic ( craton is the stable portion of a continent) plate. AND we thought earthquakes only happened on tectonic plates…

“The key to geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy.” – Professor Gordon J.F. MacDonald.

Notice in the image above, the Low points showcase severe thunderstorms and bad weather and the high points have relatively nice weather. On the east coast especially, where the earthquake happened. There is absolutely no evidence of rain.

The weather instability was in the North-midwest where we see in the HAARP ring video. We see it over Bismarck, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, etc. All HAARP needs to do it put a small amount of energy into the instability and then in effect it creates a large amount of energy which in effect would cause the earthquake out in Colorado and that is why we also see the HAARP there.

Global Air Circulation and Air Pressure At the Surface

equatorial areas receive more insolation than higher latitudes

excess heat transported toward poles

air rises (adiabatically) at the equator (leaving a low pressure system at the surface); adiabatically rising air cools; can hold less moisture, water vapor condenses and eventually rains down -> rain forest

air sinks (adiabatically) near the poles (creating a high pressure system at the surface); adiabatically sinking air warms; can hold more moisture -> extremely dry climate (Antarctica is driest place on Earth)

Earth’s spin deflects moving air (see Lecture 15). This leads to additional low- and high-pressure belts at the surface:

high pressure at 30o latitude: air sinks and heats adiabatically; captures moisture, therefore it rains more rarely -> deserts

low pressure near 60o adiabatically rising air cools; can hold less moisture, water vapor condenses and eventually rains down

Numerical values according to the date of today:

8/23/11

8 – Qabbalistic number for total control

23 – 2012 = 20+1+2= 23. 2+3 =5

5… lots of meanings for 5; first of all 5 is the pentagram.

Note: Note trying to prove anything, just writing down some notes of what I’ve seen and heard.

Perfect Day

Today was perfect.

I need to blog more when these days happen.

Woke up at 11, finished breakfast at noon.

Went to the beach until 3:30 pm. The water was so warm it was lukewarm, bath water temp.

It was wavy too, so fun.

Had lunch and then got an orange creamiscle from the Ice Cream Man.

Came home, took a shower chillaxed and enjoyed our deck.

Had dinner late of muscles, steamer clams, pesto spaghetti, garlic bread, home grown summer squash and tomatoes. After dinner, we heard two owls on a property. Never heard them before now and we’ve been coming here since the end of June.

Perfect. MMmmm.

Myths and Storytelling

I was reading my book,

Sacred Sounds

by Ted Andrews, today on the beach when I came across a chapter that talks about myths, mystical teachings and storytelling. My head was going, YES YES YES!!! all excitedly, because that’s what a huge part of my research is, rediscovering the art of symbology and how it connected to the esotericism in myths and folklore.

Someone else published what I thought I had only seen. Apparently a mystic storyteller was a bard, who was able to carry on the mystical teachings and put them into story format that the public was able to accept. If they didn’t know they were mystical teachings, then the wisdom would be kept but the mystique might be lost.

Which brings me to conclude how I believe Science-fiction, fantasy and other ‘otherwordly’ stories of our time, may in fact be very real. That the author was taping into the Universal Mind and pulled its teachings forward to create the story. So before chucking a story away that may appear to be far fetched, study it and analyze its contents. What teaching may be contained within it or a moral or something that is supposed to enlighten the public.

I’d like to take this practice further and see how I can incorporate a story format into my design work as well as my life in general. i think that would be cool.

Society of Cape Cod Craftsmen

Today my mom and I went to Brewster Cape Cod which is about 15 minutes from Eastham and we went to the annual crafts fair conducted by the Society of Cape Cod Craftsmen. Its’ been a dream of mine to find a craft I really enjoy doing and sell it at events like this, I already have a concept in mind…

Anyway, this crafts fair was unique, and well done. All the crafts people had to be juried in order to become a member of the Society. They had a lot of great crafts people (although my mom and I thought there was too much pottery and handmade Cookware and Bakeware. But I guess that’s just not my taste. I love pottery, but I just think it looks all the same…)

We fell in love with two artisans who did really unique things. First a beader who had really unique designs. I can’t really describe it but I guess you could call it sculptural. She made unique flower designs out of seed beads and not just your typical strung beads on tigertail. She actually used fishing line, something a bit different and they way the beads reacted when strung onto fishing line was really unique!

The second artist that we fell in love, did crocheting, shell collecting, paper making, and embroidery. She combined everything using shells into works of art that resulted in really intricate picturesque collages.

My mom loves the same thing she did and she had done a little embroidery and shell collecting herself. But unfortunately a lot of the pieces that would fit in our color scheme in our house the prices were a little out of our budget.

The entire show was a little out of our budget, but it was fun talking to the artisans and having them tell their story.

The artist, who made the piece of sea glass I found at one of the near by beaches into a pendant, was there.

I really want to get into making cosmetics this winter. That industry has always been a passion of mine and working with colors will be fun. I also thought about making my own pigments from natural materials from the Northeast to make it specific.

Like for example purple might be able to be taken from a purple hydrangea or a purple quohog clam. That would be fun. The concept of taking natural materials and make them into pigments is a medieval concept that the fresco painters did often, and thus the company would be, “Fresco Cosmetics”. Most make up artists see the face as a canvas and I think this would be cool to get into. Yes yes yes

Oh our neighbor behind us has also given us fresh clams, potatoes and garlic. So we’re in the middle of cooking up some fresh cape cod cowder.

Loreena and the Forgotten War

I have been listening to Corteo by Cirque Du Soleil since junior year of high school. During the car ride home from the Cape I have thought up an awesome story line that goes with the music as well as being an animated film.

(this is mostly completely made up)

My story takes place in 16th/17th century Italy. Italy was overthrown by the french monarchy after the Thirty Year’s War. The Royal Italian family was banished to the streets leaving its heritage to die. One by one the heirs of the family died from poverty. The youngest Princess, Loreena was left to fend for herself. Her family had separated and she was determined to find who was still alive. Eventually she finds a street rat by the name of Guido who is in trouble with the French-Italian monarchy for stealing his work in Apothecarism and Western Alchemy from the Royal Library. Loreena finds out that Guido is her brother and a heir to the throne. Guido is eventually caught and is given the death penalty. The French-Italian monarchy wanted to work with the Vatican and burn all ancient wisdom teachings from human consciousness since they aimed to revolutionize the Western World with a world view that is validated by science rather than by religion or tradition. In order for Italy to survive, the Royal Italian family must gain back their claim to the throne. Loreena finds out that Guido is dead and steals the knowledge again from the Royal Library, she eventually escapes from the Monarchy and is determined to find an Apothecarist to help her save the Royal Italian Family. She eventually finds herself in 17th century Moravia and is kidnapped by a middle-eastern man named Abdur-Rahman. Loreena tells Rahman her story and asks he she could help her. After a few days of studying the knowledge Loreena carried with her to Moravia, Rahman learns that there’s enough knowledge to build a time machine that will transport Loreena back a few months before Guido convinces himself to steal the knowledge. Loreena must be convincing so Guido will believe her that he is the heir to the Royal Italian Family throne. However, Gold is expensive, but the ingredients from the alchemical transmutation process from are not but rare. Being poor herself, Loreena almost gives up but Abdur-Rahman offers Loreena an unthinkable idea. For payment, Loreena will give Rahman, her first born to be his own personal heir of Abdur-Rahman’s work and family lineage. Not only her first born, but her virginity as well. Loreena eventually agrees. Years later Rahman successfully builds the time machine and during this time the French-Italian Monarchy has ordered a pure italian blood genocide. The night the genocide was called, Rahman and Loreena have sex. The next day, Rahman and Loreena have sex again, and that night Loreena leaves. She successfully is transported back to the night Guido convinces himself to steal his knowledge from the Royal Library. She saves Guido from death and tells him that he must gather an army and take back the Royal Italian throne. Loreena returns to the night of the ordered genocide and instead of being a genocide it is a war to take back the italian throne, lead by Guido himself. By changing history, she found that she had never stolen the knowledge and travelled to Moravia and she never had made that deal with Abdur-Rahman. Somehow Rahman, found her and he remembered the deal. Angry, with her and her clever plan, he kidnapped her again and raped her to make sure she got pregnant. Guido, now a general, found Abdur-Rahman and sentenced him to death. Italy won the war and became its’ own nation once again.

A Tour of a little Northeast Paradise

I have been spending my summer weekends at my family’s new summer house. I am absolutely in love with this place. It’s so inspiring to be on Cape Cod (my heart and soul lives here) and to have a place here opens up so many possibilities (like a Marketing business my mom and I are trying to get off the ground for the grassroots artists and crafters here…). We officially obtained the house June 28th (I believe) and have been down here every weekend since. I finally gotten around to taking pictures of the place last weekend and now am just posting it.

I have often been referring to Cape Cod as the Northeast Hawaii. The Cape Cod peninsula isn’t connected to the ‘main land’ of the Massachusetts state, you have to cross a bridge over a canal to get there and then there are islands.. Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. It also has a native flower, the Hydrangea, that everyone loves like Hawaii’s plumeria.

The living room isn’t pictured because we didn’t have furniture in it yet when I took the pictures and it became the “everything room” since it’s the room you enter through the side door. We got the furniture last week, so I’ll take the picture next weekend. Nothing too special though.

Side door

Front of the back yard.

So nice sitting out here with a drink or with your computer, or simply taking a nap after the beach.

Large backyard, its so nice having a backyard. The house I grew up in had a little backyard, so not used to having so much free space.

Family Room

The bedroom I sleep in.

Sage Green Master Bedroom

Guest room. If your the only guest over here you’d be in this room.

I also don’t have the ‘guest’ bathroom pictured. Although it has the same royal blue/white design as the bedspread.
