This is MY BLoG!  My Opinion!  My Observations!  Take it or leave it!

November 27, 2006  Hello,  this is my blog.  The SamplerBlog to be exact.  It's a bit of ranting...some complaining...and some personal truth.
I want to say right off that I'm a Giver....not a Taker.  I heard Marlo Thomas say today on the View (hey, I was channel surfing...it popped up) that her dad, Danny Thomas, put it this way:

There are Givers and there are Takers
The Takers may eat better
But the Givers always sleep better.

I couldn't agree more.  We live in a society of those who have and those who do not.  We all seem to be wanting to be millionaires but not willing to take care of this fragile earth that we are stealing from.  Yes, it's hard for the rich to stop and see the whole picture....what they are doing to this planet when they lie and cheat to get where they feel they have a right to be.  Ignorance is bliss and I see an ever-growing neighborhood of blissful ignorant humans.  I'm afraid our rent has come due and mother nature needs for all to pay up.   Yes, payback is a bitch.  Get ready to Rock and Roll.

Call me old fashioned, but I've been around long enough to see the Big Picture, and its in High Def with all the bells, whistles and bomb blasts.

November 30, 2006 Geebuz Garbuzi, I've never blogged before. What do I say?
OK, let's talk about those banners on my home page…and the people they represent.
Bill & Jody Lewis…hmmm…parental units. My very best friends. They've supported me unconditionally throughout the years. This is THEIR site. It needs a bit of work, however, as the family picture had to be pieced together from different poses at different dates. Notice that Bryan has a black eye….not the best picture of him. It needs some work yet.
Russ Carlyle. What can I say about Russ? He's a legend. Probably the LAST remaining living Big Band Leader and crooner from the golden age of radio and recording. He was right up there with the likes of Bing, Frank, Perry and others. Russ was heard round the country on syndicated radio from the late 30's up until the 70's. We met about 7 years ago…he was looking for someone to transfer some radio acetates (18 inch discs) to CD for him. I was that guy. I catalog'd tapes, discs and artwork to CD….ending up with a 12 CD set now available that covers his life in song. You gotta get this package.
James Crowley I've known for even longer. I've watched him grow over the years….really grow. One of the most beautiful tenor voices on the planet. And his talents don't end there. He writes musicals. His first, “the Legend of Sleepy Hollow” may soon be up in lights on Broadway. With big-name talent. He's working on it and he's THAT good. Keep an eye on this guy!
Crystal Dwyer, life coach. A stunning woman with brains to match. We just completed 10 CDs to help people cope and grow in this chaotic world of ours.
You can even get a one-hour session via telephone and never have to leave your home. Check out her certifications, check out her great prices, buy her CDs and sit back and chill.
Victoria Liljenquist. What can I say about this angel in the physical. She's an outspoken writer, singer, healer and seer. I created her first version of her DVD, “Encounters with Angels, UFOs, and Divine Messages”. My first video and DVD…it made it to the NY film festival and got honorable mention in the Documentary department. Wow. Some of the most amazing other-worldly images ever captured. Go get a copy.
Anyway, I think I better stop the unabashed promotion and focus on world events or something. Or better yet…..IT'S BEDDY BYE TIME. Nite nite.

January 8th, 2007 I'd like to “talk” today about my car. For many years I drove a 1991 Hyundai Scoupe that I bought new…cheap car…or so I thought. In the 14 years I drove the little sucker I must have spent 3 times it's cost in repairs. All parts are cheaply constructed to keep the price down. I put 110k miles on the thing and ended up selling it for under $400 to some kid in North Phoenix. Good riddance.
I decided I wanted a Kia Sportage. It was the cheapest of all the used SUVs I looked at. I bought the first one I went to look at. The seller wouldn't give me any history on the 2000 Sportage she was selling…no paperwork…nothing. That should have been a dead giveaway because it's becoming a nightmare. When I had the auto license and title transferred, they gave me 8 months til it was time to renew. It also had a little red “check engine” light on the dash the previous owner said was a minor problem…”not much to fix” she said. WRONG.
Now it's time to take this little car to emissions. Arizona Law does not allow any vehicle through emissions that has its “check engine” light on. So off to the repair dudes for a fix.
First you need an oxygen sensor…$125 and $125 to install. OK so far.
Oops, you also need the Pre-Catalytic converter…dealer price for just the part, $720…so off I go to the internet….I find a Catco Precat for $225 including shipping. I had to wait 2 weeks for the damn thing. Once it got here, I dashed off to the repair guy….2 hours later I get a call, “your exhaust manifold is shattered, you need another one….$125!” Ok, this is NOW an official nightmare.
So far, I've replaced the radiator, fan clutch, thermostat, front wheel bearings, lug bolts and nuts, tires, muffler, secondary catalytic converter, and on and on….I'm in serious debt with my family. And I know I'll never get that back if and when I sell it.
My advice to anyone considering a Kia or Hyundai used vehicle….DONT DO IT!

January 11th, 2007 Let's talk about the air we breathe….more important, the additives our higher-ups are putting in the air we breathe. I'm talking about Chemtrails. We had a couple of months of clear skies and people were happy and breathing well. Then just the last few days….bang!...the skies are grey again with the “contrails” from jets passing over. Our government denies anything is happening…nothing up there…just jet exhaust. However the same group had told the Air Traffic Controllers around the US that there is an additive to the jet fuel being used for “Climate Control”…and not to worry that they cannot see incoming planes on radar thru the grey skies.
The chemical is a form of Aluminum and Barium. It's added to the jet fuel used on all commercial flights. And they can get away with this. We voted in Big Oil people to be our President and Vice President. We have no say and they do as they please.
What really is happening is the aluminum drifts down and we breathe it in. All kinds of respiratory problems are created from it. Every time they start up with the release, they watch the emergency rooms to see what happens. These places become PACKED with sick people.
This attack on the people started back when Clinton was president. A Bill was passed with an added law….something small… It allowed our Military to legally use toxic substances on the American People in the name of national security.
Right after that…the chemtrails started. At first they appeared at night…huge military tanker planes were seeding the skies…..now it's just an additive to the jet fuel that all Airlines use.
BTW, did you know that ten years ago, one in every 250,000 children were born with autism? Today it is one in 166 children. These are the facts.
Is the Bush administration trying to kill off a few billion people? If so, why? When are we going to demand an explanation from our government? Who's really doing this?
I'm one person that suffers incredibly from this. I get muscle and joint pain so bad I can hardly type this letter. My mother sits and cries in horrible pain all day and evening long. We cannot find anything to help remove these toxins from our air and from our lungs. Denial runs rampant…doctors are baffled.
I don't know who is doing this…even so, I curse you, whoever you are.

February 28 2008 (over one year later…oops). Been forever since I blogged this spot. It's been a rough year, health-wise. The Phoenix area becomes more polluted by the minute. This year's flu season has been a crippler. I ended up in the hospital on morphine. I swear they're out to get us….but I digress.
One thing great that did happen was re-uniting with an old client of mine. I recorded her many years ago when she was just a kid. Now she's all grown up and as beautiful as ever. She recently tried out for American Eyeball but she proved to be too unique a voice for the judges. We are now in the works to create a new CD of original music for the rest of the world to enjoy. I introduce to you, Mariah Scimone. Only sixteen but you'd never guess it if you heard her. So go listen to her at my Music Sample page. It's just a few karaoke pieces to showcase her voice and talent. Take a moment to tell me what you think, here.
