The Vex Fire

Like an a actor or performance artist. You walk into a room and believe you are great, what you have to say, play, do is interesting and important. and low and behold people feel it, believe it, and give you attention.

What if you woke up and put on the best clothes you could find, have a hair cut that you look the best in, and moved and did the best ideas you could think of? People would notice. You would notice.

If you could remember your favorite personality attributes and decide to be that right now. You would be a star. Everyday, all day. Fear would not rule your life.

This is how a sneaky  speaker works:

Prove idea wrong, blow peoples minds, and while they are sitting there, introduce a new idea, and people will just gobble it up. “It must be true, they where right about that other thing being wrong!”

This also the primary reason for sorrounding yourself with people who want to encourage movement, experimentation, try things out. OH COURSES its wrong, silly, dumb! But thats the point! Everything is.

It’s just as easy to make fun and pick holes in helping people as just doing things for yourself. As picking holes in Christianity as picking holes in Enlightenment.

Every idea is inherently wrong. Including this one.

This family started a garden. Now their homestead supports four adults, who live and work full time on a 66’ x 132’ city lot (1/5 acre). The 1/10 acre organic garden now grows over 6,000 pounds (3 tons) of produce annually.

They live in Pasadena, California.

This is a radio story about people moving into forclosed properties in Miami Florida. They are moving in the quite consent of the banks, neighbors, and police. It’s about a family that was evicted, was homeless, and now have moved into another foreclosed property. It’s a great listen.

AFTER

Hello Friends,

I’m very pleased to announce my first art show. It’s hanging now in the Muddy Waters Cafe bathroom in downtown Burlington.

It’s a collection of photographs of mostly food related injury’s in found frames (found at the STORE!!!!).
This is a shared show with SF. > “Pictures from childHOOD” aka “We be keepin’ it rel”

If you are in the area I encourage you to check it out asap as the pictures are not bolted down and some people have sticky fingers…

The following is from the bathroom wall:
“I will pay you to show me your boobs. HUMANITY!“

I hope you are well,
JW

UPDATE:

That was a short lived show…

I am at a party. People are walking around in purples and glitter. masks. Sparkles and separate rooms. anon-salon.

I am hosting a room a room like a large living room. An opening like a sliding glass size I stand at. Groups walk up and ask ‘what is this?’ and I walk over, pull open the imaginary door and say ‘this is a lock-in’ would you like to step inside? and people laugh and walk off, others come inside.

eventually a women with long black hair and purple clothes comes in and and asks ‘what do we do here?’ and I say ‘well, anything, the only thing is you can’t leave. because your locked-in’ and she laughs and flops on a couch and proceeds to curl into a ball and announce she is making pancakes. and eggs and milk are coming from her armpits and hair.

That was a dream.

The system that we run our lives by is like this. We are all sitting in this room. This lock-in, and we can do what ever we want… except leave. But we CAN leave, we just couldn’t come back in and play again. or we could just get most people to stop playing and go into a different room. play a different game.

Demands:

1) All rental units are for sale. The sale price is ‘50-100 * the rental price of one month = total price’.

2) If you have paid rent for 5+ years consistently, you automatically qualify for a loan from ‘the peoples owned bank’ for ‘50-100 * the rent of one month = total loan value’.

3) You can combine what you qualify for with other people to buy a unit.

4) If you do not want to play along with the current system, you don’t have too. Di ot your self.

Good morning! My new baby girl! You have entered the world! So young and beautiful. I love you my baby girl! But I must go, the TimeBox beckons.

I’m a baby girl. *Ga ga, goo goo* Everything is awesome. My mommy and daddy are the best!

18 years later…

Good morning! My child! Today you must find food and shelter. I love you my grown child, good luck! But I must go, the TimeBox beckons.

I’m free! This wide world awaits me. A new life. Adventure and possibilities! But first I must rest for the night. I think I will lay my head down right here. Yes, right here, this will be nice, I’m so tired. I will build a shelter with my friends and neighbors tomorrow. We will sing and dance and build to the sky!!! Everything is awesome!!

HEY YOU! Get UP! You can’t lay your head here! and we heard your thoughts earlier! You can’t build a tower here! What are you even thinking???!!! This belongs to the-dirt-claimers, how dare you even think of drifting off on this spot!!! You have no respect! You do not care for history, or the giving of time! You talk and work with your friends. But you have not given time to the-dirt-claimers!!!

But BlueSuits, why? I just want to lay my head! Please, I won’t take up much room. And besides BlueSuits, I will have to get a ZoomZoom to get to the TimeBox. I will need a to get a TimeLoan. I will spend all my waking moments at the TimeBox to pay back my TimeLoan. I will be so busy I won’t be able be with my friends, and neighbors! I will be so lonely. I will be a living dead girl.

Young lady, that’s just how it is. The-dirt-claimers must be given your time.

But why BlueSuits? Don’t they have their own time?
