Actors of Treachery

Actors of Treachery
I've added a paragraph about John Wilkes Booth in my Civil War post, whose title has been changed to the Civil States. He reminds me of a lot of today's stars.

Out with the Old

Out with the Old I thought there might have been a theft of an 11-year-old song I wrote about Jim Cuddy's abuse called It Makes Me Wonder (I left the music out this time to help their deceived fans read my words better.) But I just checked on YouTube and the only It Makes Me Wonder was Maroon 5's. I laughed out loud, here in the library. If I'd have done that in January 2017, it would have been Blue Rodeo well on top of that search. And I didn't have to write it a second time because I wrote it twice when I first shared it. It has two different sets of lyrics. The second is meant to supplant the first. While I did a good job of putting together that set of daytime cafe rock back in '07, which I thought complimented my poetry at the time, and which was largely stolen by Blue Rodeo, I really want to stay in the present with new songs like Simper . Outside of music, I have other callings, such as drawing cartoons. I may be close to producing a n

The Netherwork: Deception Span

The Netherwork: Deception Span (A clinic. A test subject peers into a visor connected by cables to a wall with a small window. On the other side of the wall, visible through the window, a man and a woman, in white lab coats, operate controls and discuss options.) Man: We need this hardware ready for the next news broadcast. Take it to half. (The woman slides a bar, causing a blinking surge of power.) Okay. Try it now. Woman: (Holding a red ball up to the window and speaking into a microphone) The ball is blue. What colour is the ball? Intercom: (Subject's voice) Blue? It looks red. (The woman gives her colleague an impatient look.) Man: All right, you can raise it to three quarters. (She eagerly slides the power bar higher.) Woman: (Holding up red ball) The ball is blue. What colour is the ball? Intercom: (Subject's voice) Uh... purple? Man: He's getting closer. All right, try it at full. Let's keep our fingers crossed. (She pushes the

Pitiful Excuse

Pitiful Excuse Click the arrow in the upper left corner to access the sidebar, and click on 'Archives' to see the struggle I've been reporting here for the last few weeks. I'm back in the library after a rough night cartooning. Oh, yes, and somehow being assaulted. It was around 10:00 pm that the 'party' started. I think it was one of those sadist parties, maybe by someone who was just released from incarceration and wanted to celebrate. Anyway, thanks to people like this, I've had more putdowns than anything else this last week. I thought I would do better if I released a good song ( Simper ) but I guess you must hate it. I wanted to save it from public view, but I felt helpless about this assault that seems to come from my music and needed to see what would happen if I shared a new song. Someone said I made them hate her. Who, Madonna? I don't hate Madonna. I used her name above to show my readers the kind of significant events
