Why is this blog, this website, this sentence, these ideas and notions---why are they so dreadfully boring and pointless? Maybe because you are not reading them, or sharing my Blog (ever), or maybe because I sometimes write about small things in life, or tedious personal matters you have no interest in. Maybe you are interested in jet-aircraft, which I know nothing about. Maybe you are passionate about gardening, or passionate about NASCAR, or passionate about sexuality, or politics, or religion, ...
Here's a fun online creative path for those out there in the SLO-805 who may be doing recordings, CD's, radio-spots, radio news or other audio-functions and projects. I really enjoy this unique kind of art-work---I do guitar shows and music, sometimes recordings, and in the past I have done radio-broadcasts, or online audio-work like Mp3's, Voice-Overs. etc. There are many online sources of free or almost free 'sound libraries', where you can find the most amazing sounds, and also music loops and ...

I have rather poor eye-sight, wearing glasses, corrective-lens prostheses for the eyes, invented, they say, by one of my favorite early-American founding fathers, Ben Franklin---always very happy to run into Benjamin Franklin on a green piece of paper ('In God We Trust'). I've had to wear glasses since the age of about 14-years old, now age-52 years. In my estimation, without my glasses, I have a field of clear vision, such as holding my hand in front of my face, equal to about two or three feet---any ...
When is it really worthwhile to speak out against crime, injustice, cruelty fraud, sham, or personal injury? Always? Never? Is the crime-rate really up--or down? What kind of crimes and persistent municipal local or regional social issues and injurious activities do 'we the people' need to be aware of, here in the 805? Can the political process help? Vigilante? When and how do our children learn about the complex laws, standards, and practices, by which we are held accountable, or legally prosecuted? ...
