Talk about anything that pops into your mind in here, over a nice
cold beverage(or hot, if you prefer). Sports(American and
everyone else, lol), work or play. Anything but art. And keep it
civil, folks, or Marcus, that 300 lb. gent standing by the door
will have to ask you to leave. Have fun.
Oh wow. Those will have to go into
my NetFlix queue next.
Haven't checked this thread for a
while - theres a lot going on here.
Joseph, I see what you mean about
America/England not being what it
used to, and I wouldn't have to
travel as far as London to find a
Mc Donalds. London is like another
country to me and I avoid it as
much as possible.
What I would say is that I live in one of the smaller cities in England (Hereford) and apart from the few Mc Donald style shops etc that have sprung up in the last 2 decades, this place is the same as it was 50 years ago. On my street people live in the same houses as their great grand parents did. The pubs are like something out of a war movie. I guess things are changing, but not everywhere is 100% capitalised yet.

I understand that we have a few
things here, that we haven't built
over.....yet, like the Grand Canyon
and such, but not everyone is into
hiking and rock climbing when they
travel. They are currently thinking
about a total rehabilitation of New
Orleans(my home town) which will be
a crying shame. It was one of the
few cities in the US that made you
feel like you were in another
country. If it is updated to
another plastic no- character style
American city, I shall never
return. They did the same thing to
Las Vegas. back in the 70's when I
used to go there, it was seedy,
tacky and adult-oriented and
dangerous. Sin-City. Everything you
expected from a city founded by
gangsters. That is why you went.
For the adreneline rush, the
thrill. Now, it's just another
Disneyland. I've never been back
since.

more and more in US telly, Hugh
Lauie in House,'
Im glad you mentioned House Tracey it is one of my faves and my daughter loves it too, something we love to watch together.
The thing is the basic storyline is same every time, sick person on verge of dying with some obscure illness, and only House solves the problem. They go through the same procedures, almost the same dialogue when in conference diagnosing the poor soul.
I know the rest of the storyline is about the evolving of the permanant characters and their interaction; but I think its magic. ( maybe we are being hynotised to watch; with invisible messages to the naked eye hidden in the images and script)
I dont know what the magnetism is I make a point to watch it; even to the degree I have watched several repeats.
If I knew the secret I would bottle it,
Sell it, Make a fortune, and sail away into the sunset.

i turned on to this a few monbths
ago and lately my conscience
demands i share the link.
(especially with my american
voodoo-brothers and sisters).
artists are the seers and shamans of our time. the real and only "agents of change" as recent politico-speak would say it.
if we don't do something, no one else will. . .

I sold a painting yesterday(thru
Craigslist). First one I've sold in
a very loooooooooooooong time. I
sold it for a couple hundred less
than what I was asking, but I still
made a decent profit. As a matter
of fact, the painting is one of the
pieces I have featured here "Power
Broker"(the man with the head of an
ocelot,or whatever it is, been a
long time since I painted it).
Anyway, one less piece on the
pile(unfortunately, it was one of
my smaller paintings, I still have
a 4' x 8' monstrosity to sell). So
the drinks are on me today! Cheers!
very good for you joseph - a good
bit of business. congrats!!
i'm with you on that georgia - good, powerful sometimes dreary information and a bit much to take in all in one sitting at the end of the day.

Well done Joseph, nice to hear it!
Well, I took some of my profit, and
gave my computer an enema. I had a
nasty virus for the past 2 1/2
months, which explains why I've
only been here at certain times.
Adware and spyware would come up
every night like clockwork, and
drill me a new one. The past month,
I haven't been able to back
anything up, so things have been
piling up like crazy. A techie came
in, downloaded Vista, and I'm state
of the art, now. Lets see how long
it takes me to screw it all up
again. And I will screw it all up
again, I promise. I have to track
down a few links and try to
remember a LOT of passwords. There
is always fun stuff to do in
Internetland. Lalalalalala LOL
well that's my forum fix for the
next few days voodoo-dudes. i'm off
to miami for a few days to see if
the bait on the hook that's trying
to pull me out of my young
retirement is a real worm or just a
bunch of baloney.
life's never boring. . .

Lucky you Art!!
I wish I was off to Miami.
I havent had time to peruse the video again yet;
Because Easter is so early this year and the normal start of my beachwear season I am bogged down with work trying to get new products out. I dont think Im going to make it.
Still you gotta have a break, a nice glass of wine I think....Cheers gang

Oh bye the way Joseph well done on
the sale think positive; I find my
Art sales always come in a
bundle.... you may get rid of some
of those bigger ones yet.
Thanks for the drink!!

My biggest painting takes up a
complete wall. As a matter of fact,
I could probably knock down the
wall and just use the painting as a
room divider. 

Yeah I know what you mean I have
got a whole store room full,
I have changed style and brought the size down and added more quality.
hoping I can get same price as yhe larger stuff
Its so expensive to ship the larger canvases.
Im thinking of sending them all to auction and sell in job lot and start all over again.

My pub on another forum just went
to it's 100th page yesterday. I
don't think I've ever had any
thread go to 100. That's a lot of
gas! lol
Where is everyone? Friday evening
out on the town,
Im in the bar with no=one to talk to again, I hate drinking alone.
I know the site has been playing up a bit, because Harry has been busy upgrading, ..seems to be running fine now.
