This is an ongoing experiment into the healing powers in art, writing, and music. I intend this chronicle to be an online graphic novel that tells a narrative and tries to make sense of the world around me. I am pleased you stopped by. I hope you have the courage to keep visiting. You could also consider this to be a diary or insane journal into the mind of madness.Keith Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14067988882810576340noreply@blogger.comBlogger44125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423394830137549241.post-70935727616570613142011-11-30T23:37:00.000-08:002011-11-30T23:37:45.487-08:00Tales From the MushroomThe perfect Steampunk movie hasn't been released yet.

Storm rages inward as you can see the turbulence build across a darkened horizon. Thunder booms giving evidence to inner conflict.

I love movies in which the action seems more real than generated.

I remember asking my Grandfather when I was young what the difference was between a man and a boy. He told me in his tough and graveled voice that a man has rough hands from a hard days work. His back hurts but he doesn't tell anyone or make a big deal about it. A man doesn't take shit from NO ONE!

It is funny how a song can take you back to a particular time and place. That was the case just the other day when I was going to work. I was racing down the back streets hoping to improve my all time record of dropping the kids off at school and beating the time clock with my boss standing over it counting the minutes. Then I heard this song I had not heard in years.

Offshore drilling isn't the problem here. I grew up on the gulf coast and in the industry and am all too familiar. What happened there was a catastrophic failure and is not the norm. I acknowledge and support the need for alternative technologies, but they are not here today and if they are, they do not provide enough energy for the masses to be cost effective (wind, Keith Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14067988882810576340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423394830137549241.post-47583343864894909782010-05-07T06:01:00.000-07:002010-05-16T00:54:27.719-07:00Hat of the Week!
The Derby seems to making a comeback. I have been seeing this icon everywhere. Strange little hat really. Round all the way around. Let us not forget some of the memorable faces that put on the hat. It takes a unique person to pull it off. Or maybe a round head. Think about Charlie Chaplin or that psycho in "Clockwork Orange". I don't think I could pull it off. The hat I mean.

I am so tired of liberals using race cards and using that issue to gain an advantage in society.

In a recent interview, John Mayer reconfirmed that we have not progressed much since the times of the Civil Rights movement. It seems that he feels somehow connected with people of other races, so much so that he can insult and ignore a long and tired road it has been to equality. I guess he knows what it was like to march with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the front steps of Keith Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14067988882810576340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423394830137549241.post-33678083181213804392010-03-05T12:14:00.000-08:002010-03-05T16:10:20.665-08:00Hat of the Week!This weeks winner is that stylish vamp in the cult Japanamation classic "Vampire Hunter D".

Today March the 2nd is Dr. Seuss' birthday. He was born Theodor ("Ted") Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904. I remember as a wee lad the first time I saw one of his books. I was five and I was in the dentist waiting room. "Green Eggs and Ham" was the book. The thought of eating just the green eggs made me feel sick. I usually thought of green food when my mom cleaned out the refrigerator. All that Keith Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14067988882810576340noreply@blogger.com2
