"WINTER HELL!"
Some quick random shots of the uptown City University campus, CUNY. I was wandering from there there last week after lending a hand at the radio station that used to employ me.
Fuck them bastards that run it, but bless the workers they're my comrades, and pals. Anyway foe of heat, and humidity as you know I am. I'm about ready for some warm breezes.
However with Climate Change who knows what the hell is really coming. They say we may get up to 60 days of 90f+ this summer. Enough to make what we have now seem like heaven...ya just can't win.
"Ahh Them Were the Daze"
Holy crap. 12 yeah "12" as in 7+5 folks came by here in the last day or so. ...is it something I said. Well yeah okay I don't post several time a day like I used to, but still.
Ah how I recall the glory days when thousands sat at my feet everyday. Hundreds of thousands unique visitors all that cool noise. 'Course I was posting pictures of all sorts of naked people, and writing insane legally actionable screed, and rants.
All of which got the blog deleted,...several times.
Aw well we had a swell time though. These days I have all sorts of real life problems to deal with,..like not kicking the damned bucket in my sleep. Being older is a total fucking drag.
To whatever youngsters that may be out there...DON'T DO IT! Stay a teen twenty or thirty-something. You'll be glad ya did.

"Snow Business"
At top is "Mr. Yeti" in character for the tourists. Below is Hank Flinkelstein aka Mr. Yeti with his lawyers "Gumblatt & Gumblatt". The Gumblatt's are ironing out Hank's deal with New York State to be the new NYS Wild Life Spokes Person.
If all goes well you'll be seeing Hank's posters on subway bus, and civic buildings come next fall, and winter. There's talk of a cable show as well.
Stay Tuned.
"Brooklyn Snow Daze"
This was two snow storms ago. I was too bleeping sick to get out of bed to snap pixs of the others that came. In fact it's snowing again right now. Yep it's Climate Change evidence by the bucket full.
The Eastern Hemisphere is getting the warm winters that we usually get, and we're getting their Arctic action.
So it goes.
The jet stream slops this way, and that due to all the excess energy in the atmosphere. The warmer oceans, plays chaos with the winds to say nothing of all the gases we're tossing up there, and now the melting tundra is kicking in metric tons of stinky gas everyday as well.
In a word...or two words.
"We're Fucked"
Still that's no reason not to make snow-persons, and drink honeyed tea. "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!" At least till the March heatwaves get here. Yeah I checked some of my old posts from a few years back.
This from all them warm winters we were having. 2009 was called the "year without winter" in the north east...I think it was '09. Anyway that March we had temps in the high 70f's, and two days in the 90f's. The next month April read like August.
So that's the ballgame.
Climate Change means wild gyrations in weather for...well..umm the next 100,000 years or so.
So get comfortable comrades.
Stay Tuned.
"Skipper!"
A kind listener to my obscure radio program heard I was looking for this doll. It's sold out nationally, but my radio pal found it in a local shop, and sent it to me.
Aw gee!
This really cheered me up. You know how one gets. Emotional tunnel vision you're all alone, and at the mercy of demons, and the IRS. However the skies clear, and you see that you have friends everywhere that care for you!
As for "Skipper" this is her 50th Anniversary of Mattel(tm) release which would make her in "Doll Years" about 62 or there about. Her older sister "Barbie" being introduced in the late 1950's would be...humm if she was maybe 16/17 then she'd be near or just over 70.
Fine, and spritely sisters indeed.
"Aw Crap! Not Again!!"
Greetings my Good, and Loyal Subjects. As you dear comrades know I've been ill for most of this winter. Turns out if was a tad more serious than I thought. Gee imagine my surprise.
Anyway my actual existence went to the physical, and emotional brink just recently. No I didn't see Angels..this time. However I think I glimpsed my 6th grade teacher, and that bastard that always stole my milk money.
A swell time was had by all especially me being the guest of honor at this going way party. Dammit my main concern was the family finding my seriously weird porn collection.
It includes every known gender age, and possible orientation.
These items were for research purposes only of course. It's just I thought it might be misunderstood.
Especially that stuff involving them Catholic school girls the Nurses that swimming pool them Great Danes the boy scouts them 400 pounds of meat loaf 80 gallons of Kool-Aid..cherry the naked Nuns with the whips, and that guy dressed as Abraham Lincoln.
To say nothing of them after hours Sea World videos with a 13 year old Justin Bieber, and that Olympic swimmer dressed as Tinkerbell.
Well suffice to say I didn't buy it..this time.
Although as the saying goes I feel like fucking shit. I'm in bed most of the time watching DVD's of my favorite shows. I just went through last years season of "Elementary".
Ah life don't ya just love it.
...and no I didn't give specifics. Com'on some stuff should stay mysterious around here.
Stay Tuned.

"A NEEDED RE-RUN"...w/Comments
"Sissy Meditation II"
Sissies Queers Faggots gave the world Color Magic, and Liberated Loving! I hear "straight gays" say, "...We're Just Like You!" "We're just like everybody else."
NO!
We are Not!
Never were never will be. We're Different..'Very' Different!
Imagine being on Fire!
On Fire!
BURNING BURNING BURNING, and Not being Consumed!
We're reborn from second to second.
Every cell every atom!
We wear a skin of Flame!
Our eyes are glowing coals of Jade, and Gold.
Our words are lightning, and our Dreams ignite Stars!
...no we are 'not' like everyone else.
The act of creation is continuous. Walt Whitman shared his Dreams his Nightmares his Confusions his Joys as a 40 year long poem! This is what his "Leaves of Grass" was, and is.
A Life Statement a Life as a Celebration!
One long prayer to Forever.
The living bits of our joined creations filtered through pen paper brush canvas keyboard screen sky camera studio, and mic this is the collective voice of our Souls.
We say to Eternity We are Here We Dream We Create We Matter.
This is who We Are.
This is How We Live.
We Burn.
We are the Fire that can 'Never' be put out.
(This is the latest re-write of the second "Sissy Meditation". I was going to do this on "Dragonfly" my Queer page. However the mood to work struck me here so... Anyway I eventually get around to posting it on my other page.)
I'm thinking of doing a simple animation with drawings, and dolls with this as the text/soundtrack.

Yeah in my lucid moments I know this. I need to get stuff done while I'm still ambulatory. I'm starting to think about what I'm leaving for the world, and all that old guy noise. I think I did okay, but still crap to get done.- AnonymousFebruary 2, 2014 at 11:24 PM
I'm about a decade behind you, so I'm pretty much in the same boat, or coming up on it. In fact today I've been reviewing all my old stuff and trying to figure out what I'd like to do with the time I have left. My goals have always been absurdly grandiose, so a scaling down of projects to something achievable is probably in order.
I'd like to think my work could make the world a better place for queer kids, but that seems like tall order for an artist. Maybe a teensy bit better for just a handful? One can only try.
Remember about printing. Contrary to popular delusion, the web is not forever.
Zaek
Don't I know it. Maybe we could chisel Queer Angel Boys on granite walls it'll last a zillion months. Failing that print books on good rag paper like I used to do. My early stuff , 1973, is over 40 years old, and looks, and handles as good as new so it works.
Old tech is good tech. Digital is like writing in the wind. It 'will' blow away.- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2014 at 8:00 AM
Yep, I said much the same thing during the Gays in the Military and Gay Marriage efforts. I was happy to be part of a world of Flamers whose flames couldn't be put out. - - - The whole liberal routine of "We'll tolerate you as long as you're straight... or at least aspire to be straight" is a weapon used against all kinds of people.At least real rightwingers just save you time, and hate your guts no matter what you do (e.g., no matter how Ivy League White Obama is, they hate him). I think it's part of that 47% comment Willard the Golf Model made or the Barry Blackbush's swelling disgust whenever he talks at the unrepentantly Black people.Audre Lorde had a nice quote: "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." But even more telling, explaining why our contemporary world needs outgroups, even as liberal ideology claims universal humanity, is Lorde's quote: "In a society where the good is defined in terms of profit rather than in terms of human need, there must always be some group of people who, through systematized oppression, can be made to feel surplus, to occupy the place of the dehumanized inferior." 
You nailed it comrade. If you're a white black person okay you can sit by the door so everybody will see how cool the Beast is. ...for now. Same with the straight gays. My G-ddess what an abomination these jerks are. Thing is with both white blacks, and straight gays they'll both be tossed into the ovens as soon as the Beast gets tired of being nice to them.
This can and has happened at a moments notice. The loss of all rights by blacks during reconstruction, and the start of a century of terror, and lynchings. The extermination of secular culturally integrated Jews in Germany.
Same with Muslims in the Balkans. All Europe sat on it's hands, and let Genocide come to the continent yet again.
This Shit happens Over, and Over!.
I'm always waiting for that other sharp, and deadly shoe to drop in this country.
Better to be who we really are rather than try to cloak ourselves in the hand-me-down skins of those that would burn us, and burn us with joy, and laughter.
Remember all the lynching photos that showed these horrors as community picnics. Smiling families come to see some niggers hanged, and burnt. As you sit reading this the same the exact same is happening to Queers. In Africa the Caribbean the Middle East, and Far East. That, and constant incidents all over the West.
As we sit together. As I write as you read it's happening. There are millions I said "Millions" with an "M" that would welcome with happy hearts the stoning hanging burning, and shooting of people like us here. So when I rant I ain't kidding. I ain't.
Watch ya backs comrades, and always help ya Brothers, and Sisters.Stay Tuned.

"Da Fuck??!!!"
Ahh! The Winter Wonderland of Harlem, and it general environs. About 10 or 12 hours after my walk about the warm streets of Times Square...see post a few installments below. Anyway after walking the 50f streets of dear old midtown I slam face first into all this.
"Merry bleeping Christmas pal" sez climate change, and change it does quite regularly.
I was way uptown, 137st Street, to WBAI/wbai.org radio on the campus of the City University. After a long I thought warm night night of tinkering on my program porn surfing fiddling with my blogs, and sleeping. I get up, and run into all this...???!!!
Like the sign sez, "...Da Fuck?!
I mean it was really warm the night before so how the hell did all this happen. 'And this was just the start. We got nearly a foot out'a this one a few daze later we got several inches of ice to glaze the whole mess over, and now I hear it's gonna snow again over this weekend.
Ya know a few months ago I posted how happy I was at the first snow...and I really was too. I'm a winter guy'n loves da snow. For years we hardly got any here in the Emerald City.
'But this Winter...KAPOW!!!
For some time now the Eastern Hemisphere got the slop over of all that climate change Arctic Vortex jazz. Finally it's our turn with no end in sight. Well okay by June things ought to heat up.
In this new world there are now only two seasons. Frostbite, and Heatstroke.
Actually that's how it happens around here. One day in May it's 38f then next it's 86f with humidity to match. No lie this literally happens sometimes only now it's ironclad. This is the climate for the next 100,000 years.
Period.
(Btw click on photos for full frosty effect.)
My long frozen walk home from the Subway station with a short stop at the deli for cans of soup sliced hard salami, and rye bread. It's the simple life for me.

Yes, this is what you should do. Your voice, your text, your inspired rant, your images, your dolls, and your drawings. This is your part in the same mission as Ralph Chubb was engaged in, this is your Leaves of Grass.
Probably you should commit it to print as well as video. You never know when Youtube will go down.
