If you don't know, CalArts is a small Homeopathic college located in the high desert in Southern California.
When the students are not working on a more holistic approach to health and the whole person, they often engage in fun activities. If you go to YouTube, you can see a CalArts project of a vast formation of tumbleweed snow men marching down the Grapevine simulating the Rapture.
CalArts' students have contributed to this blog. Years ago I was helped in their free clinic. In appreciation I've given them coveted blog pages that have recently appeared, apologies to paint fans.

Nigerian Flarf Poets
The underground Nigerian Flarf community is about to become big internationally. I would say put your money on the Nigerians, but that would sound ironic.
Watch this blog for more on the Nigerians sending a strong contingent of Flarf Poets to Argentina, if in fact, the Flarf Festival is held there.

Argentina Appreciation Day
Under construction.
Honestly, I haven't finish reading wikkopedia. I had to paint an apartment that took a long time. The client didn't like the color so I had to redo several rooms. The place smells funny. I'll try and have this done soon my Argentine fans.
New: There is talk of have the Flarf Festival in Argentina.

Gold Leafing My Rancher
I was atop my tallest ladder in the fog or even clouds applying gold leaf to my cupola, when a figure appeared below on the driveway. It was all I could do to stay on the ladder and apply the leaf, but this fellow was on a mission. Did I live there? Yes, I did. He left some literature -- a single page -- on the door. He did not shuffle zombie-like, so I knew it wasn't a religious tract.
Later, when I came down to sit by the fire and have tea, I learned that Rocky (not his real name) was running for city council. It seems that Rocky wanted to promote the empty commercial space in town -- old, weather-beaten, commercial space. He wanted to promote it throughout the county.
How many tattoo and nail painting parlors, coffee houses, mom and pop business can one small town support? These are the kind of business that closed their doors in the last few years! Does Rocky think the venture capitol from other parts of the county are going to open up satellite offices with entry level employees sitting in Aeron chairs staring out the window at some house painter in his Diesel 450 Dodge buying something from the dollar store?

Who Needs Pimples (Not rhetorical!)
I was stuck in front of a TV and a young pop star exposed her pimpled face to sell pimple cream on an infomercial -- gross. The question, who needs pimples?, may be more important than we realize. Who does need pimples? Is the same answer that is appropriate for all diseases correct, no one really.
Would you wish pimples on your enemy? Do you want to see a heavily pimpled Senator confessing infidelity. His horrified wife at his side, also pimpled. Gossip enablers pimpled. The object of lust also pimpled.
The pimpled pop star is big! (I know her name.) She made a bratty remark about a male student when she returned to her high school to sing and show off her pimples. It may well be that pimples are her cause; she is principled about pimples. Pimples my well be underpoliticized. What do you think?
Would terrorists be able to work in the field if they were heavily pimpled? Suicide bombers would have to consider greeting their bevy of virgins with acne. I have no idea of the nature of free will, duty, choice in these heady matters. Could the virgins collectly say not tonight?

Nigerian Scammers
Hardly the only Scam artists on the scene.
Let me step out of my overalls and appear human for a moment. I, too, was scammed in Bombay in the early seventies. I let someone have my traveler's checks for a moment and they were gone, the scammer and the checks.
Not so fast. Months early in Tehran I'd signed for some traveler's checks to help someone move money out of the country, something like that. So there were financial laws in each country to protect the country's wealth.
So by the time I made it to India, I'd had experience helping locals move money. With the help of a hippie collaborator, we all went in a Taxi to see the scammer's brother who worked in a bank. The taxi stopped and the scammer "it will just take a minute" was off and did not return.
On a second trip to Bombay I saw the same scammer walking through town. What are the chances of that happening. No, I didn't confront him. I just enjoyed the one in a billion chance of seeing the same petty thief twice in one lifetime.

Hand Sanitizer
Under what circumstances could a celebrity be known as Hand Sanitizer? What would it take? FOX or MSNBC? Could Hand Sanitizer replace Juan Williams? A mangled alternative type with piercings, amputations, tattoos, organs removed to near autopsy status groaning as a contribution to popular culture?
Sensum Essay Contest
"Stop at the bare sensum" is the subject of the essay contest.
The essay will explore the act of stopping at the bare sensum; not to exceed the bare sensum or other means of excess in thought, speech or deed. (Buddhists and friends of Buddhists are not allowed to enter this essay contest, but are encouraged to continue practicing."
The winning essay will be published in this blog, if I can figure out how to transfer the essay.
I'm especially hoping to hear from the following people: sociopathic bankers, Wall Street types, Hedge Fund managers, MBA candidates, old people on Medicare who are afraid of socialized medicine, the 400 pound woman who called Paramedics to lift her off her trailer floor in Nevada, Yankee fans, Nigerian Scammers and the oil Elite and house painters. Although everyone is welcome to enter the contest, I will favor the self-identifying aforementioned.
There is also a list of celebrities who would receive a favorable reading, but I'm tired of celebrities this week. The Lindsay Lohan stay at Betty Ford was difficult. I've monitored the situation and found it to be simply exhausting. My source was fired for arriving at work drunk. I did learn that Big Foot left in a private car --tinted windows. He had expressed the desire to travel to Nepal to see his cousins the Yeti. Believe what you will, a suggestion I make with considerably unease.
Denmark -- Land of the Rising Sensum
In Denmark each sensum rises and decays and the Danes are watching! The sensum does not go unnoticed. Congratulations Denmark on being the country most attentive to the sensum!
This may seem like a small and curious cultural practice, but it is not. What it is though, I can't say. It may be that the sensum sends the Danes on long fretful bike rides or is cause for all manner of behavior, but the Danes are there at the sensum's rising, like naturalists at the sun rise.
The Danes are also great essayists, although it is a private affair. Their beloved sensum is coyly incorporated in their essays covering such topics as Swedish Meatballs, is fjord a misspelling, where the Danes would practice reckless military adventures (after the U.S) if they could and the flatness of flat tires. These and many more topics -- many deliberately banal -- are hidden in Danish laptops as exercises in sensum identification. The average Dane writes 3.5 essays a month.
A note on the sensum essay contest: The corporate funding has not materialized. There have been feelers, but the sensum as a subject or cause is not perceived as enhancing the corporate image.
Qualified judges for the essays have not been found. While everyone can experience the sensum, not everyone has the training or has done the reflection necessary to select among the essays that are written by crackpots or minor thinkers. Obviously, I am not trained to judge.

Nigera Appreciation Day
Welcome Nigeria to our Virtual Hall of Appreciation. Had I money like the Nigerian oil elite, I would build a Hall of Appreciation for my many appreciations, but I do not have any oil money and my attempts to scam the Nigerian oil elite have not resulted in any financial gain. Enough politics.
Oh Nigeria - sung to the tune of Oh Canada -- we appreciate your great forests of balsa, pine, conifer, poplar, mdf, pulp pine, bamboo and olive. Sorry, the great Sequoia transplant experiment did not work. The underclass could have benefited from such a lumber income, usually the spoils of the military in third world countries.
Note: This blog offers the themes (and related themes) of Internet scamming -- scammers being educated and most likely disaffected -- and the oil elite, fat, violent and corrupt. What is their relationship? This blog offers this as a literary theme and PHD thesis. If there are novels or other literary treatments of this theme -- I'm to lazy to look it up -- by the way, what's the plural for requiem? -- I only ask for an acknowledgement.
Nigeria may you solve your oil crisis, stock your rivers and streams with plump fish, reforest where necessary, groom your public parks and for god sakes don't buy any textbooks from Texas. They think slavery was Club Med for three centuries!

Kim Kardashian Loves this Blog
Yes, she does read this blog regularly to balance her perspective on life. She particularly likes the early posts, which she is memorizing. I've told her that there are more important texts to memorize, but we all have our reasons.
Keep in touch. I'll have more Kardashian news. She promises to contribute posts in the near future. I know, everyone tweets and uses other means for instant communication. I like to think of messaging and information moving out into space in a immeasurable dispersal of sound and signs. What this signifies is not at this time known. (A composition funded by the largess of an arts grant. How European!) But I think it's good to expand the chatter model once and a while. Kisses all around.

Yankees Loose, Yankees Looooooooooooooose!
Spend a billion. Steal every one's 401k's and spend a trillion. Hedge fund us in to oblivion. We want New Yorkers to feel good about themselves!
After thought: Watch out! All the infantile NY bankers, stock brokers and Hedge
Fund psychos have taken off their baseball caps, put away their gloves and are ready to go after the average American with a vengance, like biblical plague. With an advance guard of Republican nutjobs on the prowl, diminishing the idea of the crack pot, their should be millions of Americans living in their cars before the end of 2011!
You can, though, go to your library and keep up with this blog.

Hour of Power
The Crystal Cathedral was always a strange mega church. I've never know what to say about it. I'm sure someone has rightly characterized the building and its exuberant pastor. (What kind of shelf life does exuberance have?)
Now they've run up a big tab and are filing bankruptcy. (No sex scandal, thank God!) Everyone in America has has trouble keeping their check books balanced and understanding the nature of credit -- it's borrowing.
The church ran up a big tab on live animals for Easter and Christmas? Donkeys, cows, goats, chickens, bunnies? Are they using animals from the Screen Actors Guild who work part time as waiters? Couldn't they rent some barnyard animals from Bakersfield. Have them driven down in a truck, moo, honk, gobble for the weekend, then back to the valley?
Are any luxury cars and jewelry going to be sold off to pay for the donkeys?

Bulgaria Appreciation Day
Welcome Bulgaria into Pat's world of appreciation. We honor your bright beaches, tall rustic mountains, tea gardens and rolling and rumpled cabbage fields.
(Note: I didn't say dappled cabbage fields or peasants padding across the steppe, because I dislike both words. Dappled makes me think of a sunlit mule in a Faulkner novel. Everyone Tom, Dick and Harry pads across shag carpets, if not the steppes for chrissakes.)
The birthplace of many fine institutions, Bulgaria and its peaceful Black Sea neighbors are hereby appreciated. I will celebrate with a Beef Stroganoff and a fine white wine. I'm sure Black Sea fish would be better with the white wine, but they are probably radioactive. They'll make a comeback.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell
If you listened carefully after the Judge's legal decision on the policy was made public, you could hear all of America's automatic weapons being cleaned and loaded. In the rumpus rooms and trailer parks across the Bible Belt, citizens were cleaning and loading of automatic weapons in numbers as uncountable as the grains of sand in the River Ganges. They were reading their Bibles in fear that vast Gay armies would land their helicopters and UFOs and surround the trailer park, the subdivision, the farm house and urban apartment.
The Gay armies are, obviously, after the weapons, the first edition Left Behind novels and the porn collections. They may even arrive in black uniforms to confuse the heavily armed Belters. Are they UN soldiers here for one-world-government? Aliens here for a good probe? Homosexuals spreading their agenda? (I'm writing this and I'm confused too! I mean, how could you tell? They could introduce themselves as cable guys or DSL installers and how the hell would anyone know until the Gay soldiers were taking away truckloads of firearms and porn!)

China Appreciation Day
Congratulations China! You are my country of the day. Your history and cultural achievements are too long and too many for this blog. (Short attention spans!)
May your millions of cities thrive in clean air, water and sanitation.
Free Tibet! I'll bet millions of Chinese officials just went apoplectic. Let's practicing breathing for stress reduction and the higher goals of awakening. When you breath in, know that you are breathing in. When you breath out, know that you are breathing out. Notice the qualities of the breath, long, short, coarse, fine.
Set aside part of your day. The production of consumer goods (and the spending of that income) can wait an hour, don't you think?
Free Tibet! Taiwan has better golf curses! Now go practice breathing.

SocialWhale Appreciation Day
SocialWhale is my new social media engine of the day. I've used it until there was blood on the keyboard. My coworkers had to drag me away from the computer and make me take a cold shower and have black coffee.
SocialWhale has replaced OneRiot as my new favorite. I will not have another social network appreciation day for weeks. I have so many comments to respond to that it will take that long for an infatuation to develop. I also have a crew to run, jobs to do, money to make.

OneRiot Appreciation Day
OneRiot is my network of choice should I choose to riot and network at the same time. I recommend everyone riot for fifteen minutes, then get out before you get hurt or arrested. That is enough rioting for one lifetime.
Also visit Uzbekistan Appreciation Day. See the Uzbecky scenery and hear the Uzbecky Tabernacle Choir on Youtube. Plan your vacation. They have OneRiot in Uzbekistan. It is available in almost all motels.
Come join me for a riot in Uzbekistan.

I heartily recommend a holiday in Uzbekistan!

Wayne Rooney Rules
I have this recurring dream that starts with Rooney's amazing goal against Russia.
The dream moves quickly to a loud pub where Wayne Rooney, Mickey Rooney, Georgie Best and Georgie Jessel all sit at a table with cigars and booze. Fans bring drinks to the table. Georgie Jessel is telling a joke about three Irishmen and a Jew. He never gets to the punch line before the dream ends.
Does anyone know the punch line?

Benjiman Moore Paint in Afghanistan
It is not secret that I would like to have a Benjamin Moore dealership in Afghanistan as soon as the conditions are right. As a businessman, of course, I would be amoral -- what else! I believe that the Aura line of paint would sell very well. It is expensive, even if I could get a price reduction from Ben Moore.
Aura is the right product line for Afghanistan. As we all know, it is a great paint for vibrant colors and for maintenance -- touch ups. If there is a country in need of maintenance, it is Afghanistan. There are thousands of damaged buildings which will eventually need paint.
In Taliban neighborhoods there will be special paint needs. Imagine the mess of meeting out justice -- the hands of a thief cut off or a beheading. After a stain blocking primer, Aura covers and blends perfectly without flashing!
Then there's drones, friends of all contractors.
Let's be honest. There's all those U.S. tax dollars thrown at any goon who speaks English and has valuable information. And don't forget the opium/hashish money! Billions! Lord, Lord, the paint would fly of the shelves!

Lindsay Lohan and Big Foot (3)
According to my sources, there have been a number of developments. With Big Foot and Ms. Lohan on the premises, there have been a number of staff meetings discussing security arrangements as well as confidentiality and professionalism. Several security people have been hired for the duration of the Lohan Big Foot (also Bigfoot) stay.
Fortunately, the only reportage on Bigfoot at Betty Ford is from this Website.
I have also learned that Bigfoot left Betty Ford one evening and was seen wandering around Palm Desert. This is from a less reliable source, but it does underscore the psychologically delicate nature of his treatment.
My sources have also said that they are unsure if Ms. Lohan is fully participating in the program.
If she was the friend of Bigfoot and got him into Betty Ford, will she help get him back to the woods? What in fact is Bigfoot's future? Will he try to make money on being Bigfoot?

Lindsay Lohan and Big Foot (2)
Sorry to have to use a celebrity name to draw attention to Big Foot. Not that Ms. Lohan doesn't have problems, but I've learned that the patients at Betty Ford do not want to use the bathroom that Big Foot uses. This has set back his rehab. His dominant issue is his "otherness." So when he's ostracized in this way, it can't possible be good for him.
Ms. Lohan and Big Foot are not in the same therapy groupings. This much I have learned from my sources.

Small Press Book Reviewing
A few years ago I reviewed a collection of stories. I liked the book very much and didn't know or want anything from the author, the latter may be unusual. Another few years passed -- I was out of the small press world -- and I received another collection of stories from the same author. I wasn't going to review it, but was I going to read it?
Several times I had the book in my hand ready to recycle it, but I couldn't. But I hadn't read it either. Yesterday, I thought, why not read it, you did like the first book. I looked at the book more closely, as someone who might read it. For the first time I saw my previous review blurbed on the back of the current book. I could hardly understand what I'd written.

Social Whale Correction!
Social Whale does not sell polo shsirts. Please do not contact them with orders for shirts. I apologize to the company. I misunderstood my friend who has a polo shirt with a Social Whale logo on the breast. He did not buy the shirt from Social Whale.

Big Foot at Betty Ford
My sources will not tell me anything about Lindsay Lohan. They are more professional than I thought, which is as it should be. They did say, however, that Big Foot has checked in to the Clinic.
My sources told me that someone is paying for his treatment. I believe that Ms. Lohan is that recovery angel. I have also learned that Big Foot has a still at his Northwest digs. He also grew his own marijuana. So he was partying all the time. Somehow he met Ms. Lohan over a ping pong match at a hunting lodge and the story is unfolding.

Social Whale
My friend buys all his polo shirts at Social Whale. They look good -- color, fit, etc. I'd buy there too, but I have too many, both clean and many more with paint of them. What would you expect.
Nice logo sown on the breast.

Linsay Lohan and Big Foot
I have a grainy video of Ms. Lohan playing ping pong with
Bigfoot at some northwest lodge amid tall conifers. In the video they are laughing and playing spirited ping pong.
Suddenly, Bigfoot drops his paddle and runs off into the woods. Ms. Lohan gives chase but stops. A single tear runs down her face. I believe the video to be authentic and will realise it when I've been given clearancy by my legal team.

Lindsay Lohan Crying
I have sources in Betty Ford but they're not talking yet. Soon, though, I'll know if Ms. Lohan is sincere about changing her life or just wants to be a tabloid caricature.
I'm not so much interested in when and where she first cries, but is she making progress? Does she want to make progress? She will not always receive money from the fund that pays celebrities to act out and flirt with the criminal justice system. So, "watch out" is good advice, especially since she doesn't have family money like Paris Hilton. She could end up roommates with Kate Gooseflesh in some celebrity gone bad "rancher" in Valley and die in an earthquake.
I'm already bored with her antics and think her part in Titanic was highly overrated -- pouty mouth when the ship is going down!
I'm not so much interested in when and where she first cries, but is she making progress? Does she want to make progress?

Aging, Sickness and Death (Oh, Mirrors Too)
Many people remodel their bathrooms in middle age, even late middle age. There seems to be a biological clock that drives the need for mirrors. The clients also have old bathrooms and several decades of acquired capitol.
One of the main features of the middle-aged bathroom is the expansive mirrors -- even boundless mirrors. It is as if the face that has been lifted expands across the universe in a demonstration of some about-to-be-revealed demension.
Mirrors mirrowing mirrors is another common design idea. If the mirrors are not parallel, an infinite reflection slowly bends toward the horizon line. One's droopy bottom with celulite and its luner surface is drawn relentlesly toward a black hole.
Working around mirrors can be disconcerting if the workman accepts aging, sickness and death as the effect of mortality. It's been many years since I've painted in the nude.
