Spring 2019
Lots been happening but not much of great interest. I did, however, have a play accepted for the Short and Sweet Festival in Sydney this year. That was pretty great. It was earlier, in February, and I went up with my family to watch it be performed. It was taken as a Wild Card and went up against 6 or 7 other plays to see which one would go on. Mine didn't, but it was fun being up there all the same and actually watching something you'd written on paper come to life.
I've culled a lot of my books from Lulu; just kept the ones there that seem to keep being read on Smashwords. So, instead of 18 books, I'm now down to 3. Much more manageable.
Still writing, but trying to get things published through regular publishers now; magazines and the like. I did get an almost acceptance of a book that I sent out earlier this year but it was, apparently, a bit short, so I wrote some more of it, sent it off and am waiting to hear back about it.
That's about it really. No art to speak of.
How's everyone else's art going? Good I hope.
Well, happy summer everyone and Merry Xmas very soon!!

Oh yeah
It's Spring, as I said. It's been a cold, dry Winter; one of the coldest I can ever remember. Surely, that means that Summer will be hot and firey. Though, they say every year that this year's fire season will be the worst but it never quite eventuates so, we'll wait and see.
Here is the link to Lulu, if anyone is interested in checking out my work or - cross fingers - even purchasing some.
At the very least, you'll find out my real name.
Thanks for reading and see you again some time. Keep the fires burning!!

I don't know
Coxo Spaziale prosegue il suo originalissimo percorso estivo con una puntata dedicata alla manipolazione affettiva, durante la quale il non-conduttore DJ Paglione conclude in diretta un esperimento psicologico sul suo amico Valid, ignaro di esserne la cavia gigante.
Manipolazione affettiva
Prendete una persona e comportatevi con essa come a costei piacerebbe che voi foste, siate costantemente presenti con lei, colmandone i vuoti quotidiani, e preoccupatevi di essere sempre affabili con i suoi amici e parenti, quindi isolatela progressivamente dalla sua rete relazionale, e quando intorno a sé non avrà altri che voi, invitatela in radio e fatele ascoltare due ore di NoFX: un nuovo fan sarà nato!
Per saperne di più sulla manipolazione affettiva:
Del sadismo morale, ovvero il vampiro narcisista.

NOFX + AGNOSTIC FRONT + THE OLD FIRM CASUALS
Idoli indiscussi della scena punk i NoFX saranno protagonisti di un nuovo evento estivo a Milano. Insieme ad Agnostic Front e The Old Firm Casuals, il meglio del punk-rock e dell'hard-core internazionale suonerà insieme per un appuntamento unico sul palco del Carroponte di Sesto San Giovanni, alle porte del capoluogo lombardo.
Trent’anni di lunga e onorata carriera fanno dei NoFX i paladini indiscussi dello skate-punk-rock californiano, da sempre amato e seguitissimo in tutto il mondo. Con oltre 6 milioni di copie vendute in tutto il mondo, la storia dei NoFX muove i primi passi negli anni ’80 sulla scia di band come Ramones e Misfits. Ma è con la decade successiva che la band raggiunge la vetta all’interno del panorama musicale mondiale in un continuo crescendo di popolarità e successo. Partiti dal punk-hard-core più violento, per approdare ad una originale formula di hard-core melodico, i NoFX hanno pubblicato 12 album in studio, sempre con etichette indipendenti, e un infinito numero di singoli, extendend paly, live, compilation, raccolte e documentari.
I nostri, ancora oggi sono in giro per tutti i palchi del mondo (sono stati anche in Cina!), sudando e faticando come se fosse la prima volta. I NoFX sono famosi per i loro live show incredibilmente vivaci che si sviluppano tra siparietti, scherzi e messaggi a dimostrazione dell’importante impegno politico e sociale che da sempre li caratterizza.

So, another year almost over and another few posts on this blog by me and various others. It's still looking really good, even though I occassionaly get a message that someone tries to change the password but, what the hell, if you want to, you certainly can. What do I care? It's here for anyone to do what they want with it and if that means shutting it down, then go right ahead.
Personally, I hope no one does because it's just starting to really move forward.
How do I know?
Wait till next year.

Cartabianca
Project curated by Silvia Cini
with the collaboration of Francesca Serrati
Museum of Contemporary Art Villa Croce
OPENING Saturday 25th February 2012, 6.00 PM
Cartabianca refers to a contemporary and multi-participant art-project which sets out to interact with the museum's collateral spaces and the services that it offers. The intention is to spark off relational dynamics, which in turn would involve the very city hosting the museum. Interlacing connections with the major Italian cities will be developed through diverse exhibitions, the latter aimed at describing the emergent and the vital within the contemporary art framework.
The cartabianca_bologna first phase is carried out by the curators Roberto Daolio, Massimo Marchetti and Anna Santomauro. It will involve eleven artists and groups: Alessandra Andrini, Emanuel Ascari, Claire Bosi, Giulia Cenci, Curandi Katz, Anna Ferraro, Antonello Ghezzi, Luciano Maggiore, Stefano W. Pasquini, Chiara Pergola, Emanuele Serafini.
The artistic contributions above will range from specific projects through to minimal and small displacements, avoiding predetermined paths and models. They will be established as "collateral spaces riqualification operations", areas not specifically assigned to the exhibition activity, but which become fundamental elements to the Museum's life, encouraging involvement and establishing new paths for sharing.

Advices
Be yourself. Fall inlove. Forget the past. Hold no regrets. Follow your dreams. Smile. Tell yourself you can do it. Because you can. Listen to your heart more often than your brain. Don't hate - it burns the soul. Care about yourself. Take risks. Do things for others. Cultivate your mind. Fight for justice. Be free.

Childhood
1) when kids use to play outside?
2) when cell phones didn't exist and yet kids survived walking to the store alone?
3) when parents allowed their kids to walk to school unsupervised?
4) when a kids' broken bone was an "accident" and not a reason to raze all playgrounds due to liability and lawsuits?
I do.

so now i am here taking over this blog , nor really sure what i wanted with this , in fact i wanted to write about negative product placement and started to read about mail art , a rather big thing in the 60 and 70 , but it died a slow dead because of the internet . Have been wondering how it would be possible to get people to use normal post again , like in sending letters or gifts.

DEAR ABBIE,
You were right:"DEATH IS BETTER THAN THIS VISION".
But its interesting!
Think about Duchamp with that urinal way back in 1903. He came from France to shock and mystify the NYC art world with a urinal! A urinal! Right there and then he made a move that convinced people of the objects indifference to art. Now, art can be anything declared to be art, at least if it is declared by an artist. It was as though he made art reality and reality art.
Sincerely,
Scripa Sinclair aka MotherHuckster

The persistent gaze (view from the emperor)
Entangled
I behold the vortex
I stand on the edge
I realease my anger.
just because you made it doesn't mean people will pay attention. creative efforts require EFFORT, yo.
- Paid advertising (might work, might not)
- Posting something daily or at least consistently: this is a matter of math. Search Engine Optimization. More content = more searchbots locating your content = showing up in random searches.
- Tweeting the blog address.
- Something about facebook.
- DO NOT POST blog posts about blogging or engage in public whining. Passive aggression is not an attractive trait and are much more annoying than you realize.
- Putting the blog address on postcards, bookmarks, business cards, community bulletin boards with tear-away blog address strips, craigslist, etc.
- Develop a marketing plan (see above)
- Do not believe that internet success relies on random luck. It's math and hard work. Just because you have built it and you think it's an awesome idea does not mean everyone else will also think the same.
- Write a press release about it. Do this often (see "Develop a marketing plan"). Your local public library should have books about marketing, SEO stuff, how to write a press release, etc. Or you can just steal the books you need from your local bankrupt bookstore.

Motivation
This morning, however, the rain was pissing down. 'I'm going to stay in bed,' I thought and turned over. But my body had other ideas.
'I need to go to the toilet.'
'Let me sleep.'
'But I need to go to the toilet, NOW.'
So, sighing, I got out of bed and went to the toilet. As I was listening to the rain, I remembered reading an article from a personal trainer about motivation. She said there was no real such thing. It was just a matter of doing. One sentence I clearly remember, was her writing, 'Do you think I'm motivated when I wake up and hear rain on the roof?'
Such was the morning. What could I do? I felt guilty. So I put on my gear and went running. It wasn't bad. Not too cold and not too wet.
Came home and felt better.
Motivation.

"Yay" Us...Not "Boo" Them
Why is it that people feel like they need to knock the other side down in order to bolster themselves? Giving politicians a pass (whether they deserve one or not) there's no need for it in sports, advertising or...well, life.
Researching women in computer science, I see a lot of the Men vs. Women attitude. Who's better? Are you kidding me? Can't we all just get along?
Acknowledging that many men are damn good programmers doesn't take away the fact that many women are damn good, too. Saying that University of Oregon Ducks ROCK as a football team doesn't mean that the OSU Beavers suck.
Here's my question. Why is it that we have this inherent need to trash the opposing side? In sports, isn't it a little more powerful to say that *they're* good, but *we're* still better?
