I don't do well in the heat

Something happened when I was young

We were on vacation in Walla Walla

I got sick with something respiratory

Very vary sick Ox Eyed Daisy's every where

Some flashbacks just won't stop flashing

Like the great Banana blow chow of 1966

I didn't know I was allergic to latex yet

Nor that Bananas were a good source

It was hot then too and dad was

in no mood to listen to his kid

I don't remember who cleaned up that mess

I just know who got blamed

because he wouldn't listen

Today it's hot again,

I'm old and have more past to look forward to

Than future.

     “The D.J. Speaks”

“O.K. imps, snot-freaks, pill-elves, hi-fi fairy-fury flipsters and intelligences, its out, all out now onto the rooftops—

Your only chance left now is to come out here into the naked star-fright and freak it out alone.

Yes, out until it’s scared the living Fainlights out of you; jumping you out of your star-split wits and back into your sprite mind.

Released in your new fledged LSD lieutenantries above the cities of the West—

Luftpost TV antennae-quivering falconries suddenly checking in the new-alerted starlight as you realize some fresh gleaming ledge of intelligence on which to alight.

—Was it witch I said then? Yes, witch-kids, witch-kids, riding out on your broomstick wavebands night after night.

Behind their mumbo-jumboing guitars, each group another coven of them—

                                         Trans—

                      Trance—

TranceSISters shrieking the bisexual superhet electronic guts out of them coast to coast and trans— atlantic and all the way back round again and again and again—the hair of those trance atlantic telephonists left crackling behind them.

And then up— up and round the whole Van Allen belt and back tingling with ions! —The whole billion brain-valved telepathic wavelength left blasted behind them.

And then finally off— off blowing that long cool solo out into space you never want to come back from but must, must for this final chorus when the whole heavy nuclear combo starts laying it down— blasting the dumb-ox blockbusters out of your old conventional consciousness—

                                        WHAT?

you think this is just some little railway sidings halloween or something? No baby, this is the real H-bomb witch stuff flying around in here tonight so just you mind your spooks and cues and smile, SMILE cause you know this only that little D.J. joke your D.J. daddy’s been having with you all this while. You know, that old saggy god story about how this week again ‘The Eve of Destruction’ will be going like a Bomb.”

Fengshui - September 2023

As the vibrant hues of autumn start to paint the world around us, we step into the month of September—a time of transition and renewal. In the realm of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese practice of harmonizing the energies in our environment, each month brings with it a unique blend of energies that can impact our lives in various ways. To embrace the balance and positivity that September offers, let's explore Feng Shui tips tailored to each of the Chinese Zodiac signs. Rat (1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020) For the Rat, September brings a favorable energy for personal growth and creativity. Enhance your workspace with earthy tones and elements like pottery or clay objects. Consider placing a small indoor plant to nurture fresh ideas and tranquility. Ox (1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021) This month, the Ox can benefit from strengthening relationships and social connections. To enhance this energy, focus on the southwest sector of your home. Decorate with pairs of objects, such as candles or figurines, to symbolize harmony and companionship. Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010) September encourages the Tiger to channel its energy towards self-care and introspection. Create a serene corner in your living space with calming colors and soft textures. Adding a water feature, like a small tabletop fountain, can evoke a sense of tranquility and balance. Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011) For the Rabbit, September is a time to focus on financial matters and career advancement. Place a wealth-enhancing symbol, such as a money plant or a wealth vase, in the southeast sector of your home. Keep your workspace organized and clutter-free to invite abundance. Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012) The Dragon can harness September's energy for learning and personal growth. Dedicate a space for reading and contemplation, and fill it with books and knowledge-enhancing items. Earthy colors and grounding elements will help maintain focus. Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013) This month encourages the Snake to cultivate strong bonds with loved ones. Spend time in the eastern area of your home, enhancing it with family photos and sentimental objects. Use gentle lighting to create an inviting atmosphere for heartfelt conversations. Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014) September favors the Horse's pursuit of adventure and personal growth. Infuse your living space with lively colors and travel-inspired decor. Display a world map or artwork that resonates with your aspirations for exploration. Goat (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015) For the Goat, September brings an opportunity to focus on health and well-being. Dedicate a space for relaxation and meditation, incorporating natural elements like plants and soothing scents. Soft lighting and serene colors will aid in cultivating tranquility. Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016) This month encourages the Monkey to harness its innovative spirit and explore new ideas. Create a dynamic workspace with vibrant colors and stimulating decor. Incorporate symbols of creativity, such as art supplies or inspirational quotes. Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017) September favors the Rooster's organizational skills and attention to detail. Focus on decluttering and organizing your living and workspace.
