My whole career can be summed up with 'Ignorance is bliss.' When you do not know better, you do not really worry about failing.
Jeff Foxworthy

I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
George Burns

The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever.
Anatole France (1844 - 1924)

The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.
Herb Caen

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)

Spanish: el final
French: la fin
Italian: la conclusione
American: The End?
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down. George Burns

Take a gander in the mirror and what do we see?
A nose prominently positioned at the front of our faces.
And right where we carry it as a signal to all:
Some held high, proudly joust forward,
Some that are sly, held side to side,
Some submissive, hanging down to its point,
Some flaring and angry, ready to be punched,
Some laughing, some foolish, and some trying not to be there,
These are our noses, the funny button up on the front of our faces.

Oh, silly nose of mine, I so want you to be the important one, the pretty one, deserving the center of attention, but you are just a nose, as silly as everyone else's, hanging off the front of my face, preceding me wherever I go.
Silly nose.
Love is always the way

hey there people,
i was just wondering if anybody on the forum (any musicians that is) in the not too distant future (3-8 months from now) would like to collaborate on a song or two...
i have been recording music for a good 5 years now, as playing guitar and writing are two of my most beloved hobbies.
since i am about to start film school that i was accepted into in my town, i will be obligated (and given the gift of opportunity from another viewpoint) to write and film 3-5 pices of cinematic works, i will decide to make one of those a music video. it's going to be for my band Youth In Asia, and i will be tying in lyrics that reflect the concerns of our times i.e. overpopulation, spiritual teachings, war etc.
so anyway, if any body thinks they would be interested, that would be very exciting.

i would be very greatfull to you moderators if you allow this post to go through :-)

hello everyone,
i have a collection of music ive made over the years. instrumental stuff, pop, rock, psychedelic, avant garde, a whole spectrum of music. if anybody would like to listen to my music, i would be more than happy to share my musical pieces with people. just email me at peterbrodowski@gmail.com
most of it would be classified as guitar moriented music. i do sing also (not my strong point :-) ) and i have many songs. and i would be happy to provide the lyrics. your feedback after listening to my music albums, would be treasured indeed.
so feel free to inquire via email.
:-)
i would provide links but i think it's quicker sending files via email.

Hi Eddie, lovely wildlife film, but am pretty sure the leopard is going to have the baby baboon as a midnight snack. It's either that or the baby will starve to death. The film reminded me of when my cat catches a mouse. Cats and humans are the few species who like to hunt for fun.
Good, better, best. May you never rest, until your good is better, and your better best.

"Jesus Knows You're Here"



A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for
valuables when a voice in the dark
said, 'Jesus knows you're here.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more, after a bit, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so
he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he
heard 'Jesus is watching you.'

Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.


Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.


'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.

'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you.'

The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'

'Moses,' replied the bird.

'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'

'The kind of people that would name a
Rottweiler Jesus'

Hi all, not sure if these come under the art heading but I thought I'd show them to you. I'm a qualified gold/silver smith and Ive been making a series of Spirit symbol pendants, here are a couple I've already made.

They are Meditation, Kreation and inspiration.I'm working on a few others, but if anyone has any suggestions for spirit symbols that might make nice pendants let me know, always looking for others opinions on what they like.
Thanks.
Salome

Tony.

Hi Tony.

Very nice work.

The one in the middle, is that the symbol of Creation? From which book? :-)

I want it, but without the leaves on the edges.. I prefer it completely round... How much and payment method? Is that gold? what carat?

Those leave's edges would get tangled in shirts or other clothes.

Hi all,
thanks for the compliments, for a while I've been trying to think of things I could make that would have more meaning than the usual stuff you see out there and the spirit symbols seemed to be a good idea to me. These are all from the "Symbole der Geisteslehre " by Billy, I can make any of the symbols. The symbols are not on my website as I've only got a few pieces up on the whole site so far and the spirit symbols are new.I do have permission from Billy to make the spirit symbols into jewellery ( Christian showed Billy the prototypes while I was visiting) but I wouldn't imagine I can put up the scans of the spirit symbols because of copyright issues.
You can see thumbnails of the spirit symbols on the old gaiaguys website:
http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/Billy_Meier/gaiaguys/meier.symbole.htm
If you send me a mail I can give you a price on anything you want made.

Carlos that symbol is for the process of creation not the actual creation itself, I asked Christian about it and I actually gave it as a gift to the SSSC when I left, I think It's hanging in the meditation center as far as I know.
There are a lot of the symbols in the book that are nice to look at but have negative meanings so would perhaps not be a good idea to wear around your neck! If any one contacts me I can mail them a list of the positive terms and meanings in the book and if anything takes your fancy you can have a look at the associated symbol and get back to me.

I mainly work in silver as gold is extremely expensive these days but I can make things in gold if desired or use gold plate and I don't sell from shops because of the way the jack up the prices too much for customers so I prefer to deal directly and keep the costs down.

My website is www.tonyquinn.ie , my contact details are there, although I may be changing the name soon as I'm often associated with a certain bearded multimillion dollar health guru con man! Was considering Kreation Jewellery, had actually wanted to use Semjase designer jewellery as a name but my friends kept pronouncing it Sem-jays! Anyhoo I'm waffling. Cheers.
Salome

Tony.

Hi Tony,

I am glad that the one that caught my attention the most, hangs also on the SSSC center. It's a beautiful thing to be able to BE and carry the very representation of the process of Creation.

Creation in dynamic constant movement and development.

Please email me price details direct at: techieatwork@gmail.com

I also like silver, as I already have a silver necklace, it would fit in nicely.

Bodran,

I have been thinking of some, and perhaps the two shown can add somthing to the set



The upper Symbol represents the Creation Symbol, while the colored OM logo could make a beautiful pendant with gold silver and saphire giving it a kind of 3D depth with the spacecraft showing out in silver over the gold.

Hiya Mohammed,
The creation symbol is one I have planned to use but not quite sure yet what way to do it, I like the idea of the OM with the little ufo. I'll give it a go.
Cheers.

Would that I
could stand aside
watch life pass me by

I am a sponge,
would that I would absorb you.
I am a mirror,
would that I would reflect upon you.

could stand aside
watch life pass me by

I have eyes
to stand beside the beauty of your life.
I have humor
to chuckle on your unforeseen joys.

watch life pass me by

Would that I could,
but alas, and alak,
you could never
leave me in peace.
Lachen und Leben.
