I Have Become…Comfortably Numb

Have You?

   The other day I was going into the London Drugs on Vancouver’s West Broadway St. .  There was a panhandler outside and two big men from the store were headed outside.  I was obvious what was coming…they were going to remove the panhandler.  That happened and when the men came back in I said to them “oh, i don’t like that’….they said yes, most customers didn’t like the panhandlers.  

 

I said, ‘no, i didn’t like that you had him leave.  that sucks.  he’s just sitting there.  maybe he’s an addict, maybe just down and out. maybe some of these people might rip people off, maybe some don’t, but most think they do.  yet these same people who don’t like the panhandlers would walk into a place like london drugs and get ripped off.  it’s the corporations who are ripping people off everyday yet no one asks to have them removed.’.

The young men agreed.  I suggested they take my complaint to their boss.  They said they would, but i doubt it.  

yes, there are some aggrissive panhandlers ……just lke aggressive marketing campaigns, telephone soicitors etc.. they should all stop.  but isn’t it all like window shopping?  you don’t HAVE to go in to certain stores , you don’t HAVE to give to every panhandler.  but hey, if one’s playing a cool tune you like, or is doing some neat drawings, writing poems, or just has a catchy line or phrase….why the hell not drop a toonie in their bucket?  there’s no gst and you were just entertained.

how comfortably numb are we?

MISSING BOUVIER

This is Cinder.  She is a spayed Bouvier, about 4 years old.  Cinder was my dog but was given away without my permission or even consultation while I was in Hawaii.  She is black with a few white hairs and last had a red nylon collar on.   Her rear stifle joint has a torn ligament so she limps a bit.  She has a sweet disposition but a Bouvie bark and growl, though she will not attack.

Cinder was last in West Vancouver under someone else’s care until I came back.  I love her tremendously but no one will tell me where she went or is willing to tell her new people that a mistake was made.

If you see her or have any info, please contact me.  Please.

  LAST WORD WAS THAT SHE WENT TO A FAMILY IN ABBOTSFORD.

Canada’s New Government Changes Logo Again…

We all know that Harpo, Zeppo and Groucho changed the Government logo to ‘Canada’s New Government’…but when did they go to a different look? Why, I must have missed something while away…looks like the writers and producers of the B-rate continuuing ‘Who Dropped the Soap Opera’ series decided to go back to a neurtral look. However, the website still has the Prime Mordial’s page with the ‘New Government’ logo.

The NEW new logo says, ‘The True North Strong and Free’ .

Huh? Hey, I’m a terrorist and insurgent givng myself up because I support Native Sovereignty…maybe they’ll finally come get me for liberating the graphic and putting on it what it should say: ‘Our Home and NATIVE Land’ -

What’s REALLY disturbing is the ad on Canada’s site:

Is that ‘JOIN US’, or ‘JOIN U.S.’?
Too bad this version of the ad appeared tonight because earlier they had a great one full of subliminals….it looked like the torso of a soldier in the clouds, baring a hard-on. Hmmmm.

Meantime, Shawn Brandt ihas been charged for being part of a group of natives who stopped CN trains from running across the 6N rez ….oh gee, wonder why the trains were stopped? Maybe THE GOVERNMENT (gasp!) should have been tied across the tracks instead, just like Dudley Dooright coming upon Nell being placed there by Snidley Whiplash. Oh my, this ‘Who Dropped the Soap Opera’ is getting worse!!! Perhaps Shawn should file a counter claim.

Now why won’t come and arrest me?????? I liberate graphics from them, drive without a seatbelt, jaywalk, write about sovereignty, research ‘for the cause’ and promote it. what am I, chopped pemican or something?

I’ve even given them loads of search terms….am I really going to have to turn myself in, are they THAT lazy? Sheesh.

On Hiatus

ya ya ya, i know, i just had a mega break…..but i just can’t wrap my head around blogging right now. i’ll continue to visit some sites and who knows, maybe crystal methodist may appear from time to time, or FSP, or ‘If Only They Were Normal’.

The Further Adventures of Scout…

Anyways I’m doing a housesit now under the most bizarre circumstances with the oddest landlords in the world. A Hawaiian sister’s best friend’s son was in an accident and is in a coma at the hospital in Honolulu. We came to feed the seven puppies, four dogs, two cats and three kittens. Luckily the two horses were moved to neighbours.

Maybe odd isn’t the word for the landlady and her daughter. How about cruel? First we caught the daughter, a middle aged woman, in the house and she’d put a lock on the woman’s bedroom door saying she did so to protect valuables. Right. Basically the woman’s only valuables are her saddles and tack (they ain’t in the bedroom). One morning I woke up to find the daughter at the kitchen table having coffee. Hmmm.

It goes on, and we call the daughter ‘Top Secret’ as she was in the military and claims she had access to top secret info. More like she was stationed on radioactive bases cause her mind ain’t quite with it and her body is 25 years older then it should be.

‘Top Secret’ likes to stir things up and tell lies…her old mother believes her, so while this poor woman is in Honolulu with her critical condition son, the sheriff comes around to serve notice of eviction, saying the rent hasn’t been paid. From the reciepts we’ve seen it looks like the rent is up to snuff. Who says ‘evil’ doesn’t lurk in the hearts of anyone?

I went and talked with the landlady but she wouldn’t listen and said it will be dealt with in court. Yup, you got that right because just like every fuckwad politician, corporation and common person around these days, I’d say people are slitting their own throats with their greed, bigotry, cruelty and whatnot. The pendulum is slowly swinging and we’ll probably see a few more years of heavy duty shit flying, but seems like more and more are paying attention and grasping the truth, which is all right under our big fat noses.

As my kahuna friend would say, ‘We are the evidence, not the crime’.

Enough, I’m going swimming tomorrow! BTW, haven’t had internet access lately…obviously.

Sunday Sermon by Crystal Methodist

Ha Hoo! Parishioners!!! This is the 4th day of Lentil. Heed these words:

Josh-Around (4:19-24);5:9-12

[The people came up out of the Michael Jordan mode on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped it up in Guygal on the east border of Jericho Beach. Those twelve stoners, which they had taken out of the Michael Jordan, Josh-Around set up in Guygal, saying to the Deadheads, "When your children ask their parents in time to come, 'What do these stoners mean?' then you shall let your children know, 'Deadheads crossed over the Michael Jordan phase here on dry ground.' For the Jack LORD your God dried up the waters of the Michael Jordan Fan Club for you until you cross dressed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Commie Pinkos, which he dried up for us until we cross dressed over, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is Size XLarge, and so that you may fear the Jack LORD your God forever, because fear is just so trendy"]

Jack LORD said to Josh-Around, “Today I have rolled a blunt for you to disgrace Egypt.” And so that place is called Guygal to this day.

While the Deadhheads were camped in Guygal they kept the hangover in the evening on the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho Beach. On the day after the hangover, on that very day, they had the munchies and ate the produce of the land, unleavened cakes, parched grain and Mars Bars. The manna ceased on the day they ate the produce of the land, and the Deadheads no longer had manna; they ate the crops of the land of Canada that year.

Hello, caller number one….what’s that? You think Toblerone or Kit Kat is better to eat? Shout it out….go ahead, next caller?

Sunday Sermon by Crystal Methodist

Ha hoo! Oh parishioners! Todays, on this third day of Lentil, our sermon is from Lukewarm 13:1-9, Repent or Parish:

Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Gallbladders whose blood Pilates Exersize had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Gallbladders were worse sinners than all the other Gallbladders because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the CN tower in Toronto fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in the Metro area? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all have to buy genetically modified perishable goods.”

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

” ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘Is this wise when City Hall has not yet approved your developement permit’ “

So you see, do your Pilates daily and you might be hobnobbing with the town planner and get expedient re-zoning approval….hello, caller number one, go ahead please….

What and Hu’s Going On?

China’s President Hu Jintao is stepping up military spending.

The latest reports indicate Chinese toy manufacturers are taking on the fabrication of tanks and war planes, made to last two years. Most are remote controlled and could do severe damage to dogs and cats. Taiwan, the United States and North Korean citizens are warned to keep all pet gerbils and hampsters indoors as a safety precaution.

Meantime , as military buildup continues on Hawaii with Stryker units and training grounds for troops headed to Iraq, the mongoose have gone into mysterious hiding.

Sunday Sermon by Crystal Methodist

Ha hoo! Oh parishoners! Today’s service will be from

Mark Foley 23:11 – “For it is imperative we remain in denial for it is Christ’s way. Just because there were no closets in stables does not mean Christ was not a closet-case. Long hair and flowing robes maketh for insurgent queens ; do not honour the false christ for the real one wore a suit and tie.

Yay though I don’t know what I speaketh of and confusion may reign from the work of Lucifer (and he’s HOT!), truth is heard between the lines and sheets of my works. Go out and liveth the Repugnacan dream, for it is what will bring the Salvation Army to the doorsteps of the poor. “

So dear parishioners, don’t take these words in heed…..caller number one, go ahead please……are you confused?

The Bong Brothers???

More like “Dong Brothers’ or ‘Wrong Brothers’. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING? I’ve been in the boon docks or too restricted while hotspotting wifi in my truck. Once I saw a brief glimpse of Peter and Condi ‘agreeing to disagree’ and damn I wish I’d downloaded the shot so I could do something silly with it!!!!!!

Will be flying home for a week as an Uncle died. Am at a friend’s house now and it’s the first time I’ve sat on a couch, used a toaster, and have the prospects of sleeping in a REAL bed in my own room since December 12th….OH YAY!!! No rats, no mongoose, no centipedes to ward off….just 3 pugs and I’m loving patting them.

Heavy whale watching yesterday…whoa! Hope some pics turn out. Am up north now in Hawi, a charming small town I hope to post a few pics of. This is where the earthquake damage was heaviest and the campground I’m at is crude anyways, but has no water because the pipes are ancient and got busted up. The washrooms there are….hmmm…..well….I’d rather be camping illegally and using the bushes…that won’t happen now till I get back here.

THE BONG BROTHER – a headshop and organic produce shop near Ho’okena Beach by the town of Captain Cook.

We are reminded in the papers the U.S. is on AMBER ALERT. Wonder when Bush is going to pull another terrorist act to enstate Marshall Law and render Congress useless???

Year of The Boar…or is that Bore???

Whilst reading some Canuk news a while back I saw this pic of John Baird. I couldn’t help think how much he looks like a pig. Maybe he is a pig. Maybe the call of the Cons is, “Sooey!’. I’d be too scared to call that outloud myself, lest a hundred Conboars suddenly herded around me. If you want to try this yourself, ask your parents first…it could be , well, kinda yucky.

Hey boys and girls, another Hawaiian Hottie!

Met this sizzling young man in a guitar store…am trying to hook him up with my daughter. I vote we put all hawaiian hotties in parliament. If Peter MacKay is the best Steve can come up with ya know we’re damned….not that looks are everything, but at least the Hawaiians have super brains plus looks. Whoa, good combo!!!!!!!

Scout’s got Nice Lemons!!!

Hey, beat these lemons!!!!

Cool old Theatre

Old gas station with the Yankee flag (obviously not a good Hawaiian)

Warning sign Hawaiian style, ‘Slow down FAKA’

Prayers Needed

I can’t tell you where I am right now, but prayers are needed. Surveyors have been coming on the land that belongs to a Hawaiian man, and he is the kanahiki (steward) as well as owner. The surveyors do not have persmission. The are working for the State , who wants to divert water that floods the road…BUT diversion will affect the land and the sea and sacred ponds of the land, this is stuff PHd’s do not take into consideration, nor the ancient village ruins, the burial sites etc..

This all has to do with developement , not just water diversion, and the continueed efforts of developers to take this man’s land …this is all part of the continuued genocide of the Hawaiian people, and too many Hawaiians have been bought off or are greedy for what ‘progress’ would mean to their pocket books.

Today four cops were involved as the surveyors came back after I booted them off the other day. The surveyors and cops act innocent as to what is really going on, but one by one they give enough clues that you know damn well they know the score and the man who’s land it is has held up developement before and is doing it again.

Micheal Cousteau, the illigitamate son of Jaques is involved…for development, and it is all under the guise of ‘preserve and protect’ under Clinton’s National Park Program. B.S. on the national park and the Audobon Society who is at stake too as a realtor here’s daughter works for them and the realtor tried to make a grab for the property.

This is not something to fool around with. There have been attempts on the man’s life before, others have been killed. Ross Perault money is involved. And now, I am too.

Please pray for this land, the caretaker and owner , all who stay here , me, the rising nation of Hawaii and it’s people.

If Scout starts emailing you from jail, come and bust me out or send a file in a cake (joking, if they touch me they’ll have an international incident on their hands). But please be advised in case I need to call for support from politicians and any heavy weights you may know.

Thanks so much, mahalo, and please don’t tell Mr. Scout, he’ll have a fit!!!!!!!!!!

Where I’m staying now…

This is at a place called Kawa, where Uncle lives. I’m staying here, sans electricity and running water. It’s pretty crude but comfortable and people bring fish, ice and da kine for Uncle. He didn’t want me to post his picture but you can see a u-tube of him at

The developers and government are trying to take over Kawa and make it into a protected park….only Uncle owns the title. This man is kanahiki of the land and knows every plant, rock , you name it from the sea to the mountain. Being his kuliana (responsibility) and following land kapu (the ultimate in sustainability) he has intimate knowledge and the land, sea and it’s history. No Phd. could touch what he does or knows.

I had a nap today and woke up because a mongoose was on me!!! Cheeky devil. They sneak in to steal fruit and what not.

Uncle makes things the old way and I rub kakui nut oil that’s worth a fortune but he’d never sell , all over me. It’s quite pungent, and between that and not having had a proper bath for a week now, well, it’s not a smell for everyone but the oil grows on you. …and it keeps the mosquitoes away

Uncle says I am now ready to utilize everything I’ve learned, apply it and teach it. I feel the strength of my mana (spirit) coming through way, way stronger when I do work on people. This is thanks to people like Uncle and my sisters in my spirit circle back home. Nothing like some teaching, training and guidance to help focus your gift. Hmmm, best wash up somehow if someone calls on me (well, I worked on a camper the other day and they never said anything about the zone of p.u. I’m putting out).

This weekend I meet again with a woman kahuna , which will be good to learn more of the wahine side of Hawaiian healing. Yay!!!!

Hawaiian Hottie for Simon (and the other boys!)

Whoa! Here’s a gorgeous Hawaiian man!!!!! Posted especially for Simon, but hey, girls and boys alike may like this hottie. Drool away (I was too shy to get more shots of the guy…some gal on my own i am!!!).

Am at my friend Uncle Abel’s now, getting worked on and receiving more teachings. I’ll ask him later if I can do a post about him and put up a pic.

Below is an outdoor laundromat who’s whereabouts I’ll never tell (woman in picture is my Hawaiian sister who hanied [adopted] me). There’s enough stuff in the tour books that used to just be known to locals without revealing some of the other hidden treasures. hopefully will have a story of adventure to tell you after the weekend, we’ll see when it will take place….you never know here. meantime I’m much, much better thanks to Uncle and the dry air of Kau. Uncle’s is at a place called Kawa, which was the training grounds for all the Alii (royalty) for everything . When I’m sitting outside his cabin I’ve got my feet on thousands of year old celestial markers in the lava. Way cool!!!

If Only They Were Normal # 17 – Mel Gibson

The drunk, bigotted, weirdo Xstian actor/filmmaker Mel Gibson has decided to become ‘normal’ and live out life as a kangaroo.

“G’day. Just call me ‘Melaroo’ now. I’ve given it all up. It’s obvious I don’t cut it as a human being so I’ve checked my ego in Syndey and will be hopping about the outback for the rest of my days. There’s no such thing as religion or race in the animal kingdom so it seems the only way to go for a mate like me. Crikey, I don’t know which is harder to give up, the turps or the vegemite.

Anyways, now the doc film makers will chasing after me, quite the change, but they’ll have to be fast to catch me, I’ve no interest and they can mind their own bizzo.”

Federal Politicians Contaminated With Chemicals

Environmental Defence did blood testing on four federal politicians and found the chemical contaminants in their system higher then average. The tests were done on Environment Minister Rona Ambrose, Health Minister Tony Clement, NDP Leader Jack Layton and Liberal environment critic John Godfrey.

Think the toxic environs of polictics has anything to do with it? Maybe Steve is giving away free non-stick cookware to his most undesirables. OH NO…it couldn’t have been the KBG spy???

Well , brighten up, MP’s, remember,you all have the power to create a better health care system for your twighlight years…..meantime, enjoy the twighlight zone .

Great Start for 2007 !!!

January 1st saw the best start to the New Year with the flag of the Iroquois Nation flying high. Congratulations to those who worked hard to reclaim the Iroquois longhouse that was shut down in 1924.

Most Canadians do not realize the signifigance of this and other reclamations by First Nations. In order to proceed forward in proper fashion, we must first go back. Correcting the illegalities of settler law brings us closer to acting as true as a democracy as we can. This effects not only First Nations but women, gays, the disenfranchized, the environment, and the very crux of how governance should operate…if we were a true democracy we wouldn’t see a party system. Taking the politics out of goverance is what it’s all about so decision making can be based on the laws of nature and leaders arise and act from the voice of the people.

William Lyon Mackenzie King, you may be rolling in your grave by this and other indigenous peoples movements, but I can only wish your spirit well being and peace.

Congrats again to Six Nations….email Hazel Hill at thebasketcase@on.aibn.com to send yours
