Projects In Mind

 Recently, I was inspired by something Bobbie Lancaster said at the Goban Summer Concert Series about how lucky we are to have programs like the one she had been singing at (and she's right), but I thought, 'What if I had a collaboration of different voices much like hers in a book surrounding Putnam County residents and the funds could go to different organizations that could us it, like PCRC, Beyond Homeless, programs for low-income individuals and so forth ?'   What I am proposing is a book called 'The Places That Define Us' and lots of people will be interviewed for it whether creative or not.  They could be just an average Joe who provides a service, like Jake the Barber.    Just think of the stories people will read and maybe they can find solace, comfort and inspiration too !   We are blessed !

The second idea I had I'm labeling 'Ink on Ink'.  I have always loved tattoos while growing up but hate needles and loathe pain, so I decided to keep my canvas clean (plus I have an illogical fear of my body being disallowed burial back at my plot, and I'm not Jewish !).   It will cover the history of tats, tattoo artists and the people who tattoo themselves.  

The third is a more personal book that I need my lovely Aunt Jeannie's assistance on.  Currently, the beautiful lake house is on very shaky ground.   As of writing this blog I do not know the status of the respite.   Last I spoke to my aunt, cousin Kenny was still moving furniture into it.   In my opinion it has taken far too long to get all of this done, but the again I don't know the proceedings so I am not going to cast aspersions on the legalities that go into properties like this one.   Anyways, it's possible that the property will be for sale if no one has rented it by 8/1 (been and gone, fellas).   I don't know anything because Jeannie hasn't texted me about it but I want to write a book called 'Lake Life' concerning the history of what I'm labelling 'The Lovely Lake House of Lake Tippecanoe'.    (That will be the subtitle). 

Stay tuned for more.  Also happening this week, a Gathering of the People (and Buffalo Child was there from one of my favorite movies of all time, Dances With Wolves) and Hobo Fest.   Our good friend Shabazz is there kicking back with the hobos and travelers.  We weren't able to attend but maybe we can go back.  I feel more at home with the tribe and the travelers than anyone else.

The Slo Mo, Voiceless Leader

  Synopsis: An AU/reboot of Sonic Underground, the third and final Sonic cartoon produced by DiC Entertainment. The "good" Robotnik from the episode "Six is a Crowd" meets the evil one. In a backstory, the three hedgehogs appear to come across the Oracle of Delphius (actually an evil clone created by the evil Robotnik) who forces Sonic to make a deal - his voice and speed in exchange for being with Sonic's beloved Amy Rose, whom Robotnik deceives Sonic into thinking he cannot marry, as he is a royal and she is a commoner. It is up to the good Robotnik, as well as the hedgehogs' (formerly evil counterparts) to help save Sonic. The royal firstborn blue hedgehog also figures out King Jules' and Queen Aleena's location at long last!   Dedicated to the true voice of Sonic, Jaleel White. Chapter 1—Tell Us Everything !       Mobius was experiencing an uprising and Robotnik was growing more agitated as the revolutionaries became more militant. ...

Conky's Newest Feat

Synopsis: Conky needs help in finding a job to support his new family. Herman remembers when he and the others made their first newspaper together; Conky wrote business news, so it is suggested that he get a job as a stock trader. Chapter 1--The Moment Everything Changed Like any proud and expectant father, Conky was nervously pacing, wringing his manacles and nearly hyperventilating. ‘Sugar gears, I’m gonna be ok.’, SICO reassured him in her southern drawl.   That was until the contractions came and she wanted to rip his arm out and beat him with it for having impregnated her in the first place.   The birthing of the children happened in such fast succession it was almost difficult to keep up. The first child to enter the world, looking much like SICO only smaller, was a girl. Her cry was feminine but soft.    ‘Let’s name her Amica…’, Conky suggested.   Right after her, Dextro came into the world, loud, wailing and needing extra cu...

Wedding at the Playhouse

Synopsis: Continuing from "Pajama Party at the House of Mouse", Herman Norman "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens and his beloved, Yvonne Chambers, are finally getting married. “ L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very, extraordinary. You’re the one that I adore, no one could ever want you more.’--Lyrics from L-O-V-E as sung by the often imitated but never duplicated Nat King Cole “A life without love isn’t worth living. What’s life without love ? It’s a tree that bears no fruit. It’s sleeping without dreaming. At times, it’s the inability to sleep. It’s living one day after another waiting for the sun to shine into a room that’s completely painted black, where you know the key is but have no desire top open the door and go out.”--Karla, Hippie, Paulo Cohelo Chapter 1—The Most Romantic Wedding of All It was Yvonne Chambers, soon to be Ruebens, favorite day of the year. Ever since she had ...
