Michael Jackson - In The Closet
Conrad Murray was found guilty today of involuntary manslaughter in the death of singer Michael Jackson. Everyone around seems to be rejoicing! Not me! I am getting more disillusioned with people.
In the last two decades of Michael’s life, what was the first thing people thought about? Paedophilia. People did not separate the man from the music and it was almost a joke to enjoy his music. Whether or not he did any of the things he was accused of is besides the point. There is plenty of evidence to show that his love of children was creepy to say the least. When MJ died, suddenly, he became a saint in the public eye and everyone did a 180 on all the harshness that definitely played a role in his death. It was as if the world had a selective memory. Why didn’t people come to his rescue and celebrate his life when he was alive? It did not happen.
Michael Jackson was a drug addict. Plain and simple. Sure he went through a ton of really bad shit, both physical and verbal, that led to his addiction to drugs, but in the selective memory of the general public, people think his death was an accident! Anyone that’s experimented with drugs knows the following before they get high: every hit could be the last. The more you do drugs, the greater your chances of dying. You don’t have to be a mathematician to realize this. They in fact teach this in schools along side Economics. Heroin and/or cocaine use is often a common drug related cause of death. Have you ever heard of someone dying because they took too much Propofol, a drug so strong that it’s only given out at hospitals? That’s not an “accident,” that’s a deliberate game of Russian Roulette. By comparison, it makes the drugs that Kurt Cobain took seem like aspirin!
Conrad Murray is an unfortunate victim in the world’s need to place the blame somewhere. Convicting him will not bring Michael Jackson back. It will not make MJ less of a drug addict. It does not solve anything. It gives his family and the media and the world at large some weird since of vindication so they can continue to live in a reality tunnel that is very narrow. This is not to say that Conrad Murray was not involved in shady activities, because he was. Any doctor on MJ’s staff was paid to do as they were told, regardless of the consequences. If you buy cocaine off a drug dealer and you take it all and die, why place all of the blame on the drug dealer?! It takes two to tango, as they say. The only thing Conrad Murray is guilty of is being at the wrong place at the wrong time. If it wasn’t him, it would have been another doctor. This type of overdose was inevitable as evidenced by the fact that Jackson was taking this stuff not for a buzz but just to go to bed at night!
It makes me really nervous how the public at large seemingly forgets logic when it comes to these matters. They also forget the staunch stance they initially took and suddenly are changing their tune for no apparent reason. When George Bush dies, I really hope people realize what a fucking bastard he was and don’t sing his praises. It doesn’t matter in the case of Michael Jackson, because his life and death were way too insane not to be surrounded in chaos. What worries me is that great change is taking place in the world right now in the form of #OccupyWallStreet and the fact that the masses are starting to wake up from a deep sleep that has lasted for many generations. I hope people will remember what they stand for and not change their stance willy nilly as they have done here. Our safety is at stake and with this kind of wishy washy attitude, many people are going to die for nothing.
Please think about that while you are rejoicing tonight.

Kim Kardashian - Waste of a Human Life
It’s not my style to talk shit, but because I am exposed to this tuna when I walk out on the street, here’s my 2 cents:
I don’t watch TV so I actually have no idea what Kim Kardashian is famous for. I am being 100% serious. From the photos I’ve seen, I assume she’s popular because she has big tits, has probably shown her pussy to the world somehow and is pumped full of collagen and has been under the knife at least once (but probably many times). What I do know is that she spent a ton of money on her wedding – 10 Million Dollars in fact. The E! Network apparently fed into it and paid $14 Million to air a special about it. The media is equally to blame for giving her ANY air time, but that’s the society we live in. Put it on TV and people will watch. Why doesn’t someone just video tape a big pile of dog shit and put that on the air. I’d personally rather look at that for 30 minutes. It would probably smell better too.
In a time when it’s been made abundantly clear that homosexual marriage is not happening across the board any time soon, how dare this waste of a human life have the nerve to announce her divorce 72 days into her marriage?! If you don’t want to make gay marriage legal, fine. Why don’t they make divorce illegal? If you make a dumb decision – tough shit! Think it through next time. That would put an end to all this crap once and for all.
Of course I personally think the idea of marriage IN ANY WAY is absolutely ridiculous – tradition or not – because the second you put a label on an infinite concept such as “love,” you’ve just made it finite, but that’s a discussion for another time.
Back to Kim Kardashian. I am going to have to be exposed to hearing about her so much now, and believe me, I try SO hard not to look at or listen to mainstream media, but when you live in a walking city such as New York, you cannot help it. I resent a person that could have easily spent less on herself (when we are talking millions for a 1 day event) and donated the money to people, charities, groups that could have really used that money. People like Kim Kardashian are actually making the world worse! And anyone that supports them is enabling their bad behavior to continue!
Though people will give the excuse that they watch her TV program because “it’s like a train wreck,” that is the LAMEST excuse in the book. I personally think that watching a train-wreck hurts my heart and I don’t want any part of it. That’s the only way these people will lose their sponsorships – DON’T SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAY. Don’t read websites that mention these types of people on a regular basis. Don’t buy magazines that feature these people and don’t waste your valuable time and money by paying to see these people on the big or small screen. The only way for this to work is a 100% total boycott of offenders. Any support you give these outlets is the approval they need to continue. Change starts with you!
Think for yourselves, people!
A revolution is coming!

Peru Ana Ana Peru X'd
Peru Ana Ana Peru has been X’ed out! There’s a site reference to PeruAnaWTF.com but it appears that perhaps this is all a joke. One thing that is not a joke is a growing sense of hostility within the street art community. Both in person and on-line, I’ve been seeing lots of capping going on. For those not so immersed in the world of street art, this means an artist is covering up the work of another artist. The reasons for capping vary – sometimes they are personal, sometimes they are done in retaliation, and sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason for it. Of course, this kind of thing is going to happen whether I offer my two cents or not, but I would just like to let logic be my guide for a quick second and offer the following observation:
The street art community is pretty small. An unfortunate fact of street art is that authorities will do whatever they can to silence and suppress artists from leaving their work in public places (sometimes for good reason and sometimes not). It is what it is. With all that negativity from the authorities and law enforcement, it seems silly to me that the street art community wouldn’t want to put aside petty differences and look out for each other instead of sabotaging a fellow artists’ work. Let me just point out that some of the greatest art of all time has been the result of a nasty squabble with someone else and the genius often lies with the outlet the artist chooses to express it.
Take my advice or not, but please – save your issues for the magazine rack and keep the drama on the silver screen!
I’m a lover, not a fighter (and I can provide references from satisfied customers that demonstrate I am a damn good one too).

We Are The New Barbarians Occupying Our Rome
There is nothing to fear but fear itself. I do everything in my power to steer clear of mainstream media (especially since I once worked for a news station and I sat in meetings where executive big wigs literally created news stories to scare people into submission). With that being said, there’s a lot of misinformation and confusion spreading about #OccupyWallStreet. I’ve seen people making a mockery of the major tenet of #OWS, “We Are The 99%.” It’s really simple – if you make less than $1,137,684 per year, you are one of the 99%. It has nothing to do with your religious or political views. It’s not about which political party you support or disagree with. It has nothing to do with whether you consider yourself conservative or liberal. The concept of “We Are the 99%” is simple: 1% of the population is controlling the other 99%. To break it down in the simplest terms, think about it in terms of a company you might have worked for: You and your fellow worker bees (99%) are doing most of the work in that company while the CEO (1%) reaps the higher paycheck and the spotlight for a job well done. Is that fair? Has it ever been fair? Of course not! We’ve been fed propaganda our whole lives that we must obey “the rules” and keep our mouths shut. Surprisingly, this model has worked for generations. While the vast majority (the 99%) have complained on the sidelines, the 1% (corporate executives, religious officials and politicians) have raped us! They’ve stolen our money, fed us lies and done everything in their power to keep us numb and stupid so that nobody would figure out that WE (the 99%) outnumber THEM (the 1%). Guess what? Those days are over.
Bring Back The Corporate Death Penalty
The #Occupy movement is spreading across the world very rapidly and change IS going to happen. It’s just a question of when. #OccupyWallStreet in Zuchotti Park in Manhattan is a very fascinating place to be. I’ve visited #OWS several times and each time, it’s more interesting and inspiring than the previous visit. Ideas are being exchanged and it’s very clear that a lot of people are sick and tired of this existence we’re living in. We’ve relied on our elected leaders to come through with their promises to make change that will benefit the people, and unfortunately, these changes never come to pass. The changes seem to benefit only the people in power while the rest of us suffer and accept it. The masses are starting to take matters into their own hands and it is looking like a revolution is near. I say these things not to scare you, but more so to prepare you and make you think about and TAKE ACTION for what’s going on. These statements are based on my observations and if you think I am off base and totally crazy, that’s ok by me. But don’t give me that label without seeing for yourself first hand what is happening.
Occupy Wall Street
Each visit to #OWS has been different and I’ve witnessed people sharing ideas, people peacefully trying to spread the word, people putting aside their differences and people coming together as one. Of course, like any movement, human nature persists and I’ve also seen freeloaders trying to jump on the band wagon as well as many opportunists trying to capitalize in a free-for-all situation. A lot of #OccupyWallStreet merchandise including buttons and T-shirts are for sale at Zuchotti Park and you will also see people begging for money (for their personal gain). The weather is starting to get colder and the police that are on standby at #OWS are starting to get restless. Who is going to make the first move? This is surely to be the most interesting reality TV program of all time. Stay tuned!
Opportunists at OccupyWallStreet

Now We Are Too Big To Fail!
A week ago, I visited #OccupyWallStreet for the first time down at Zuchotti Park in New York. It was one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever seen as you could practically smell frustration and change in the air. A week later, the weather is a bit cooler, but one thing remains – the people have just about had it with corporate greed, being lied to by governments and religions and a lot of rigid rules and regulations that benefit a small group of people, while the majority struggles for meager survival. #OccupyWallStreet is a leaderless organization that has base camps up in major cities across the world (and expanding by the day). I still found myself in awe of the protesters because it appears that change might actually happen, not only in my lifetime – but before the year is up! It’s certainly the strongest form of the people uniting that I’ve ever seen. It’s funny that certain people and media organizations are making #OWS sound like it came out of left field and is not warranted, but even little old me predicted something like this would happen. How could it not? For hundreds of years, the few have controlled the many and have done everything in their power to keep the masses numb so they wouldn’t figure it out. Before #OccupyWallStreet set up camp, I offered up a collaborative project to help rewrite the Constitution and a lot of the things I mentioned are some of the unofficial tenets of #OWS.
Mainstream Media Lies. You Are All Brainwashed Slaves.
When you visit #OccupyWallStreet, you hear and readily engage in conversations with people who want to see change happen. They want to not have to worry about money so they can enjoy their lives. They want corporate greed to cease. They want the masses to wake up and realize that 99% of the world is being controlled by 1% and it’s not going to be that way for much longer. These problems are not going to magically fix themselves, so the protesters are getting the ball rolling. Our government has not implemented the grievances of the masses and now the masses are organizing to set things right. It’s going to be absolutely fascinating to see what happens and as of right now, positive or negative results are totally up for grabs. Of course the area at Zuchotti Park is being heavily policed, but nobody is doing anything to warrant the need for arrests (speaking from the experiences I’ve had down at #OWS). Human nature often finds bad seeds ruining it for the bunch and that’s also a possibility here. What seems most logical to me is that unfortunately, there will be bloodshed and it will lead to massive riots. I am hoping for a peaceful solution, but these protesters are soldiers in this war, and though we let history repeat itself over and over again, generation after generation, we all know what happens in war…
#OccupyWallStreet
Towards the center of the camp, there are free clothes that protesters can wear and there is also a make-shift supply area with food and water to help feed anyone in need. It’s really heart-warming and inspiring to see so many people working together. Deny it all you want, change is going to happen and there are going to be many bumps in the road ahead. If you haven’t done so already, I urge you to open up dialogues with your friends and loved ones and don’t just talk – take action. Choose a side and get involved. This is much bigger than Republicans vs. Democrats and the Left vs. the Right. This is about having an arachic system of rules in place that all need to be dramatically changed before the world and its people implode. People have been complacent for too long relying on others to care for them. I hate being harsh, but at the end of the day – NOBODY CAN SAVE YOU EXCEPT FOR YOU! People have sat on the sidelines for too long waiting for the right moment for “life to begin” so they can take the wheel. Life began the moment you were born, so you’d better get on with it! This might mean you have to unplug from your electronics, turn off the same television set you complain about that has nothing good to watch on it and TAKE ACTION! The people have the power and are getting ready to squash anything or anyone who gets in our way. Exciting times await. Are the “bad guys” in the 1% going to be arrested or murdered for their crimes? Are the masses going to stay subservient to “the man” forever? Only time will tell. The truth is stranger than fiction. This is going to be the best reality program of them all, according2g. Occupy your city! Pass it on!
How about a maximum wage
