Hola Pajaros!
Just a hopeful email to send to you in this time of Celebrity Demise and Economic Collapse!
Good things are happening! I’ve written and am writing new jokes! The cactus plant bloomed! Some things are FREE!
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE SUCCEEDING!
My friends, Amy and Katie O’Connell of Society of the Spectacle, have opened a warm, loveable, independently owned and creatively vibrant Eyeglass Shop! How can an eyeglass shop in slightly downtrodden (?) Highland Park be doing ok? Well, it’s doing gangbusters. They have been eyeglass people for 20 years a piece. It’s been a dream of theirs, they are passionate about it and good at it and it’s really fun to see. They also give away free cupcakes on Saturday. www.societyspectacle.com/Society_of_the_Spectacle/Welcome_.html They also have agreed to sell my album at the shop.
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE STARTING! PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO THEIR DREAM CITIES!
My pal Karen Korn – who has lived in LA for 12 years and has wanted to move for 5 of those years upon working as a camera operator in motion pictures and as a hilarious comedienne - is starting her pet sitting business in Seattle in the next few months! She is a great lady and a wonderful animal person. Her animals are Katie the Kat and Sandy the shepherd. Her shepherd of many moons, Lenny, passed recently and so she also understands about caring for an aging pet. She and her sweetpea, Daniel will be arriving shortly in the Ballard district of Seattle. You can email Karen for warm and loving pet services in Seattle at karenkorn@mac.com.
PEOPLE ARE INHERENTLY GOOD!
My friend Jackie Kashian is in Iraq (www.jackiekashian.com) and staying at the former Dictator’s palaces! Serving her country and getting a look at what our country is actually doing in Iraq! Check out her blog! Also, Jackie does a lovely podcasts called the “Dork Forest Radio” and always loves people who are “dorks” of any medium to call in and participate.
MY DAD EXPERIENCES HOPE DESPITE CYCLE OF CHRONIC UNDEREARNING!
My pop is the proud owner of the website- www.soapalternatives.com. Over a 7 year period, he has received NO ORDERS for his “No Soap” product despite advertising, constant talk of and prayer without ceasing. As a family, instead of feeling sadness, we have experienced only joy and laughter from this project. There is doing in the not doing. Happening in the not happening. Will you be a part of the change? Will you break the cycle? It’s exciting and yet not exciting! Create your own non-business! Participate in nonparticipation.
I AM IN A LOVING, DELIGHTFUL RELATIONSHIP OF GROWTH AND RENEWAL! AND TRAVELING TO IOWA THIS WEEK TOGETHER! COME AND SEE US!
Yes, that’s right. My sweetpea Laroo and I will celebrate our 11-month anniversary together on July 13th!
HELP IS AVAILABLE AND FREE!
If you’re having problems in any of the following areas - there is tons of stuff out there for free- Google and find it in your neighborhood or cyberhood! Here’s some I know- for money- www.debtorsanonymous.org, for food, www.overeatersanonymous.org, for pornography and relationshit, www.slaa.org or www.recoveringcouples.org, or for addiction www.al-anon.org and those are only the 12-step programs- which ALL have phone and internet meetings so you don’t even have to GO anywhere- and there’s so much other crap out there- HELP IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE, THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS UNIVERSAL, GO TO THE ER AND SIT OR TALK TO ANYONE! YOU ARE NEVER ALONE IN THE WORLD- THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO’S HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!
MY ALBUM IS FREE! ON MANY WEBSITES! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT, BUT I SUPPORT IT’S DISTRIBUTIONS FROM ANY CHANNELS! IMPERSONATE ME AND PUT IT ON YOUTUBE! GO FOR IT GOING FOR IT!
Enjoy the enjoyment,
Maria B.
