Fun Fotos: Poolside in San Diego
31 MayIt was too chilly in San Diego to swim but I’ll just go to the beach in the South Bay, after I find some cool new swimwear. I love southern Cali, but the beaches are cold, it doesn’t hurt to have a heated swimming pool though.
Music: Jamaica
5 MayToday was a very hot day in L.A., it reminds me of my trip to Jamaica when I was in highschool. Its the type of heat your body has to adjust to. This song was very popular in JA when I was in Montego Bay, on the waterfalls of Dun Hills River and traveling through Ocho Rios!

Obama 2012: Post 1
29 AprWell I think he’s done a great job transforming our position from previous administration, all while dealing with these natural disasters. Imagine what more he could do with time and dedication from Congress. This time I want to get involved with the campaign effort and how my skills in International Politics paid off (my major at GSU). To start something up go sign up at www.BarackObama.com
Song of the Day: Joe Jackson – Breaking Us in Two
29 AprNo, not the Joe Jackson you’re used to. Haha.

RECORD STORE: “Someone”
6 AprWhile on the road rolling through Hillcrest in San Diego I stopped through a local record store, and guess what I found. Two records of legendary music artist Johnny Mathis with one of the hits my grandfather Bill Tennyson composed/wrote called “Someone”. This record was on the Top 40 in the 50s [1950s]. These albums have his name on them, I was so surprised to come across them, and happy! Below the photo are the lyrics to the song & video…
SOMEONE- JOHNNY MATHIS 1959
Someone really loves you; guess who.
Someone really needs you; guess why.
Someone wants to kiss you and hold you tight;
Someone wants to love you each and ev’ry night.
Someone wants to say hello;
I know he’ll never let you know.
When he looks into your eyes,
I know that you will realize
And know just who that someone must be;
I know you’ll know that someone is me.
(Musical interlude and pick up at third line.)
Someone wants to kiss you and hold you tight;
Someone wants to love you each and ev’ry night.
Someone wants to say, “Hello!”
I know he’ll never let you know.
When he looks into your eyes,
I know that you will realize
And know just who that someone must be;
I know you’ll know that someone is me.
FITTING ROOM at Wasteland, Melrose Ave.
19 MarWasteland is a favorite boutique of mine with 4locations Burbank, Studio City, Hollywood, & Santa Monica , they feature new/lightly worn designer goods and vintage styles. I love clothing. I deal with it daily… & sometimes without it, don’t we all. Check out the gear.
I started with the fur vest jacket below. Even though its totally out of season in this region it made me feel like I was part bear, part wolf.
Forever loving silver.

The next day in Belmont Shore. “Leather cut-off shorts” by ME. The cultural mid-drift was a little bit costume, but nonetheless cool.
The shirt I actually had on with the cut-offs.
I got this ring instead of the mid-drift.
The Venus Transits
5 JanCycles of the Heart
Past & Future Transits: June 8, 2004 & June 6, 2012
“A Venus Transit occurs when we can see Venus passing directly in front of the Sun. This is similar to when the Moon passes in front of the Sun on a solar eclipse.”
Pentagonal Cycle of Venus
“A transit (sometime called a passage) can only occur with the inner planets–Mercury and Venus–because they are the only two that can lie between the Earth and Sun during their orbits.”
Ray Hayes captured Venus, the Sun and a reflection off Perdido Bay from Alabama.
“Venus is the Roman name for the Greek Aphrodite, goddess of love, grace, beauty and sexual rapture. Venus has also been called the “jewel of the sky”; “Eosphorus as the morning star and Hesperus as the evening star”; from a modern day astronomer’s view, “Earth’s sister planet”; and from an astrologer’s view, the “compliment to Mars.”
Other cultural names for Venus include: the Babylonian Ishtar; the Syro-Palestinian goddess Ashtart; the Aztec: Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli (meaning “Lord of the House of Dawn.”), an apparition of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent; the Maya: Kukulcan (Venus was the Mayan patron of warfare, with several battles coinciding with significant Venus alignments); and the Norse Sif, noted for her “conjugal fidelity.” Aside from the asteroids, Venus is the only main planet named after a goddess–sorry to say for our soul-ar system.”
Venus in Egyptian origins was not necessarily the planet Venus in correlation to planets & our solar system, but her connection to the symbolism and character of the Roman goddess. The below is from MaverickScience
“The Egyptian Hathor provides an archetypal example of the mother goddess. From time immemorial, she was regarded as the mother of Horus, the Egyptian war-god believed to be incarnate in the pharaoh [his reincarnated father]. The goddesses’ very name commemorates this relationship, signifying “House of Horus.”
1. Scholars have hitherto been at a loss to explain the fundamental nature of this great goddess, puzzled not only by her name but by her multifarious and seemingly incompatible characteristics. Alison Roberts, in a recent study of Hathor, offered the following complaint: “My initial problem was how to find any coherent pattern in the many representations of the goddess.”
2. For Roberts, as for other scholars, Hathor personifies the sun: “To understand her transformational role we must turn to another rhythm of time, the movement of the sun from dawn to dusk, rising in the eastern horizon each morning, crossing the sky at noon, and then sinking each evening into the west. As a solar goddess, the beneficient-destructive Hathor-Sekhmet participates in this daily rhythm which also links her qualities with the biological life-cycle of birth, maturity and death.”
3. But if Hathor represents the sun, how are we to understand her intimate relationships with Horus or Ra, both of whom are typically identified with the sun by Egyptologists? Budgesaw the difficulty here and sought to interpret Hathor as a personification of the house in which the sun god (Horus) lived; i.e., the sky.
4. Erman offered a similar opinion: “Although this name, House of Horus, abode of the sun god, directly and unequivocally designates her as the sky…”
5. Yet it can be shown that Hathor has nothing whatsoever to do with the sun. That the Egyptian goddess was originally identified with another celestial body altogether is amply confirmed by a survey of the numerous Coffin Text passages invoking the goddess. There Hathor is clearly distinguished from Re, although she is described asshining forth in the sky in the immediate vicinity of Re: “I indeed have prepared a path to the place where Re is, to the place where Hathor is.”
6. “You have taken my soul and my spirit, my magic and shade with Re and Hathor to the place where Re is every day, to the place where Hathor is every day.”

Places: My Grandpa from Grenada…
14 Dec
George Robertson. Born in New York by Grenadan parents who moved back to the Lower Antilles island soon after his birth. He grew up to age 18 there. Since Grenada is known for its tropical fertility and as a farming & crop land my grandfather spoke of how he cut sugar cane and tobacco leaves which Grenada mostly produced stock for most of the Cuban cigar industry. As an adult he had many accomplishments in military and career, his greatest as a managing engineer for Northrop Grumman in Long Island, NY and as engineer on the NASA Apollo 11 the first aircraft to land the moon and of course as a wonderful father and super grandpa. I was inspired the first time my grandmother showed me pictures from the launch in 1969, him and my grandmother were the only two of color in the picture. I began working on documentary and have met & corresponded with others who have connections to these & similar achievements. I can’t wait to move forward with this project especially. I will try and get the pictures up as well in the Photo Gallery soon.
My grandfather had the best accent and some hazel eyes. I dont have pics of him but below are his Grenadan parents. His dad was half Scottish and his mother half Indian.

Random Stuff: 3 silver colored & chrome things of the day, and a song…
13 NovMy silver flats belt and necklace [looking down from above]
I love flats but I love heels too… look at this “ziggurat” pyram
id below.
Dubai-based architecture firm Timelinks has developed plans for a million person ziggurat. What the hell’s a ziggurat? “A ziggurat was a temple tower of the ancient Mesopotamian valley and Iran, having the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. Some modern buildings with a step pyramid shape have also been termed ziggurats.”
It may sound like just another concept that’ll never be a reality, but Timelinks already set about patenting the design as well as the technology that would make it possible. The structure, nearly a whole square mile by design, would use a combination of steam, wind, and other alternative energy-gathering methods to keep itself entirely off the grid. There would also be “green spaces” that would provide the pyramidal city with agricultural space, to provide food and green-based commerce.

Parallel Universes…other dimensions
26 OctDimension – In mathematics and physics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify each point within it. – Wikipedia
I think there’ s 10 of me living in different universes…have you ever felt like you were not really here, you know like when you’re stuck in a day dream or you’re in a dream state. What if these were forms of parallel universes?
Parallel Universes [the 11th Dimension]
Ok I found dimensions 1-10! Sometimes it feels like some of these 3rd dimensional ”creatures” haha,… are really flatlanders…its all in the mind, get out the box! This video gets kinda deep like trigga-nometry LOL…I got lost in different dimensions ova and ova.
So when you get down to it what do you really need to warp time and space and travel to other dimensions? Answer: Light, speed of light; and how do you accomplish that? …I can’t answer all your questions LOL…BUT all possibilities are contained within the 10th dimension.

Nature Sunday: Friendship Park
17 MayThis morning I set out to exercise and got so much more. I went to Friendship Park in the mountains between Palos Verdes and San Pedro in the south bay of Los Angeles. This is true native land and it reminded me so much of when I used to explore on my bike as a kid, every summer in northern Michigan, take a look at the pics below.
I love being green!
Wait I Need Stretch!
On A Nature Jog, I should do a workout video! 
I believe I can fly!
Last stop habitat shop. OK I'm tired great workout

Laughing With, Not At You…
16 MayWe all know Sammy Davis, Jr. He was a legend, but many don’t know he was also a child star and started tap dancing and performing at a very young age. I have lots of respect for him and his work, but I had to post this video it is so ridiculous! The brown bodysuit #1 was just out there, and #2 the supercalafrajalistic jumps were out of this world!
