 Me, al algee, and Mstr. B Harris checked out Howard L. Bingham’s exhibiton: “The Rumble In The Jungle”– photos documenting Muhammad Ali’s legendary trip to Zaire (Now republic of Congo)in 1975.  It’s a room full of hot, very vivid pictures.  You gotta go see it.  612 N. Almont Drive in West Hollywood. I shot some video of the event:

SO, if you’re in L.A., you’ve probably seen wheat-pasted posters advertising this event called L.A. vs WAR. Me, Richie and Mor went to check it out last Sunday.  I gotta say- it was ….eh.  Not to be down on it- it was a great effort- gathering all these different artists and putting this thing together.  A+ for that.  However, consider this:   “L.A. vs. WAR”? The name …the concept is kind of lame. It’s inaccurate, scientifically.  It’s like saying, “L.A. fighting against a fight”.  How can you be “anti” something and not give it more energy (see: Ghandi/ MLK).  When you dwell on something- let’s say a problem- you make it bigger.  Whenever you give your attention, you intensify the energy of whatever it is.  Whatever you withdraw your attention from withers and grows smaller.   That is, you throw your energy upon something else.  Anyway, we get there and there’s a big gallery of all these posters denigrating Bush and Cheney…… lots of bombs, blah, blah, blah–  you’re kind of walking around in a room full of signs that scream, “WAR”.  You’re in this negative haze and you end up feeling angry and hopeless.Seriously.  After walking around for a while, I felt nauseous.  I was like: “What the fuck”? Then,  it dawned on me– my head’s being filled with images of war and destruction and “anti…anti…anti”.   Listen,  I know- we have to address the issue of war.   The artists and organizers involved meant well.  I realize this.  I’m not saying we should ignore the the problem @ hand.  I’m saying that we need to choose an alternative form of activism.  Fucking protest rallies are DEAD.  It’s a new day.  Propaganda has a place, but we  have to be PRO something now– not ANTI.  We can play the blame-game all we want, but it’s our own wicked little ways (see: road rage, gossip, covetousness, etc…) that contribute to all this shit.  WE are the creators so let’s create what we want to experience.  We shouldn’t be dwelling on what we don’t want because we’ll only create more of it.          I read somewhere online that this event: highlights the travesty of a senseless war now going into its 6th year, giving LA artists a platform to exercise their freedom of speech.  You see that?? A show that’s supposedly peace-pro is HIGHLIGHTING THE TRAVESTY OF A SENSELESS WAR.  Hey– promoters/organizers of L.A. Vs. War: Next year, instead of going into this thing for the 7th (ugh) year with this same philosophy.  Let’s rename it.  Let’s call it ENERGY-WAVE or CROWN-CHAKRA, or… RAISE THE VIBRATION.  Instead of a bunch of war propaganda where we  focus on the bad things, we’ll feature the most amazing pieces from the best up and coming artists of spiritual VISION and INSPIRATION.  Think of how INSANE this would be!! Plus-  it’ll be a sexier event!  This last shit was definitely not sexy.  No vibe (L.A. DJs: can we please leave the ‘94 hip hop shit @ home for one party?).   What a fuckin drag…. ++++peace to all involved— you know I love you+++

 So….I decided that I’d had enough of the oil game and dropping bombs/killing innocent Iraqis and Afganis and so I went and copped a diesel benz and had LOVECRAFT biofuels convert it to run on waste veggie oil.  I named the car “INFIN.s”.  Here’s a picture record of how it all went down:   (INFIN.s)(my man, Lance on the conversion)The Lovecraft fuel filter and conversion kit is roughly around 800.00 beans and you can run veg oil, diesel, or biofuel in any combination.  You figure, if you run the car on waste oil collected from a restaurant, your gas is FREE (yes), and the conversion pays for itself in about 12 tank.  The conversion will actually pay for the car in about a year.  No more getting pushed around by the beast.  Save money and push a benz.  It was as simple as finding a solid diesel– I payed 2x for mine– and taking it in and letting someone convert it to run veg oil.  If you wanna go hard, you can buy the conversion kit from Lovecraft for 500 and install it yourself.  I woulda done it, but that day…I was a little too flossed out, so….                                        Pt II. (the drive) coming soon.  No more blood for fuckin’ oil—- +

New picture of Mar’s moon PHOBOS taken by a NASA satellite.  They say that this could be one of the sites of humanity’s future home–even more so than our own moon because there’s less gravity.  We really need to get our shit together down here.  We all off making plans outside earth and shit. I mean…whatever.  It’s still a trip to think about, I guess.
