If A Buffoon Has A Blog Site

If a Buffoon has a blog site, he'll want to write in it. Once he starts writing, the rhythmical structure of words will remind him of books, so he'll want to go to the library to get some more books. To do his part for Gaea, Mother Earth, he'll ride his bike to the library. While riding his bike, the sheer beauty of nature will make him want to take pictures.

The colorful pictures of the plants and trees near the waters of nature will inspire the blogger to take more and more pictures. He'll want to put the pictures on his blog site. Once he starts putting pictures on his blog site, he'll want words to go with his picture.

Once he starts writing again, it will remind him of books, and chances are if he wants to read books, he'll want to go to the library.

Of all the six pictured books I got at the downtown Sonoma County Library, each and everyone was neatly illustrated by Felicia Bond and well written by Laura Numeroff. Numeroff has numerous children books out, but my favorites happen to be the six books I recently borrowed.

These books are entertaining for both adult and child minds. I especially like how quick they are to read which makes it more fun for an adult to read to a preschool aged child. "If You Give A Moose A Muffin" is the oldest of these six books which was written in 1991. "If You Give A Dog A Donut" is the latest of these particular six, released in 2011.

"If You Take A Mouse to School", give a pig a party, a pig a pancake, a cat cupcake, a moose a muffin or a dog a donut, chances are your imagination will ignite inspiration and influence many wonderful thoughts.

"Risen," and "Zoolander 2," Worthy of Watching?

"Risen," or a more appropriate title, "Rotten," is a great flick if your having trouble sleeping.

From beginning to end, "Risen" was a snooze fest. Released for home viewing on the 24th, the screen writers Kevin Reynolds and Paul Aillo never had a clear direction as to whether they wanted the Romans to be villains or heroes. All good stories need quote / unquote hero's and villains, and this movie  had no real enemies or people to root for despite the timeless subject matter of God and man.

The Christian faith dictates that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day of his crucifixion and the faithless claim his body was simply stolen from his tomb to sway more people into following the Christian faith.

A Roman soldier Clavius (Joseph Fiennes) is sent out by his leaders to find the corpse of Jesus portrayed by Cliff Curtis. "Risen" has a simple plot, if Clavius can find the dead body of Jesus, the Romans can show first hand to the Christians that their faith is wrong. The Romans felt it dangerous to their culture if too many people believed or adhered to the Christian doctrine that the Son of God is real and not a myth.

Clavius and his Roman crew were not mean enough to the Christians or the Roman soldiers who were guarding the body of Jesus after his execution. When questioning these people who might have know what exactly happened to the body of Jesus after the third day, Clavius a his counterparts simply didn't have that stereotyped Roman meanness needed for this particular movie.

In the end, the writers side with Jesus, but their case for Christianity was weak as was the case against it, "Risen" was quite simply boring for both the believers and non believers, a merger half star for this lame flick.

"Zoolander 2" is the 15-year-old sequel to the first "Zoolander" which was a 4.5 start comedy classic.
Also released for home viewing on the 24th, "Zoolander 2" should have been title "Boolander 2." Ben Stiller was one of the four screenwriters for this movie, which I would not want credit for and he also returns as the model Derek Zoolander.

Owen Wilson also returns as Hansel, Christine Taylor as Matilda and Will Ferrell as the villainous  Jacobim Mugatu. I never got to see Ferrell's performance in this lame flick, because I turned off the movie at about the 40 minute mark.

"Zoolander 2" is a comedy, and it's not at all funny. I didn't smile once more than a half hour into it, so a 0 star rating for this complete waste of a time movie that should have never been made.            

Hillary Clinton, Soulless, or Just Successful

In 1975 when Hillary Clinton was a 27-year-old defense lawyer, she defended accused rapist Thomas Alfred Taylor, a then 41-year-old on trail for raping a 12-year-old girl.

The hospital reports confirmed that the 12-year-old girls injuries were consistent with rape. Clinton discredited the young victim and got Taylor's rape charged reduced to unlawful fondling of a child under 14-years-old, hence he spent less than a year in prison for brutally raping a child. The CNN tapes confirm Clinton laughing about the matter and suggest she knew his client was guilty, but hey, the due process of the law is just that, win at all cost if your a lawyer, it's just the way of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ03Nw7ohww /    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/jul/17/did-hillary-clinton-ask-be-relieved-rapist/

Maybe Clinton is just the type of person America needs as its leader, someone who uses the brain and not the heart. The heart after all gets in the way of success, and success equals money and power and those two things are what rule the world.

Dead Poems, One new, Others From My Archives

Time Enough?

The helpless feeling of limited time, even the crazy night-mare of the
ocean swallowing me alive, do I have time to finish all the words in
my head? Nothing to live for, financial futility, perennial solitude,
forever unloved, yet laughter always finds its way in, I enjoy being the
fool, a modern day court jester for the few who enjoy my presence.
There's always more, photography, books, blogs, ball games and
barbecues and the never ending quest for the absolute perfect combination
of words that communicate flawlessly, and entertain marvelously.

                                 

Life and Death

Geckos dwell in the caves of the ancients, and roam
through hollowed rib cages where the heart used to be.
Demons laugh as we plan for tomorrow. Predator’s dwell
in anticipation. Indeed the devils work shop is a busy
place. Near death or seized success?
Just another pawn in a soulless generation. Which gener-
ation will destroy the last of civilization? Knowledge over
powers laughter. Laughter dances on knowledge, it
dances with wisdom, it dances with folly.

Nonsense

Razzle dazzle, pies in the castle. Where is Ms.
Frazzle? Under da castle? Perhaps causing a
hassle? Why no, she’s eating sassle. What is
sassle? Sometimes it’s sweet, bright, and
light. Other times it’s sour, dark, and heavy.
Sassle is often like dark chocolate, and some
times it’s like white chocolate. It’s never like
hot chocolate. Mostly it’s Wokalit. Wokalit pie.
chocolate pie, sapple pie, apple pie. Scary pie,
cherry pie, chicken pot pie. Never eat a mud pie
like a Burf or a Wurf. Instead why not surf. Perhaps
walk with a Wurf.

"Future Shock," A Bountiful Book For the Senses Or a Bust?

The less then two month old novel "Future Shock" is a young adult novel dealing with nefarious big business practices, young love, murder, futurism and much more.

Elena Martinez, a 17-year-old who is growing up in the U.S. foster care system is about to be 18-years-old and on her own. Struggling to find even a waitress job, the Aether Corporation which has developed an accelerator that creates a rift in the in the space-time continuum, a temporal aperture that can send people to the future has plans for her. 

The Aether Corporation offers Martinez and four other extraordinary teens to participate in a short research program that when completed will be enough money to graduate college 100 percent debt free. 

Adam O'Neill, another teen who is recruited by the Aether Corporation becomes Martinez's love interest, but is O'Neill just another rich self centered soul who is so evil, he'd allow the deaths of Martinez and the other teens for his own personal gain? 

The Aether Corporation wants to send Martinez, O'Neill and three other teens to the future so the teens can document what they see in the future and bring back their information to the company, so Aether can use their knowledge of the future to always have the latest medical and tech toys of the future.

It's only safe for the young to do time travel because of severe mental repercussions, and even teens aren't immune to these harsh repercussions, but the allure of huge money makes the teens want to go, except for O'Neill who is already rich, but his crush on Martinez gives him that sense of immortality. 

Once into the future, the teens really see the harsh complications. If the teens don't do the right things, they could all be killed and also the fate of a 4-year-old girl with cancer becomes their responsibility.

Can Martinez and O'Neill someday live a live of love together, or must their love for each other be thrust into the abysses for the benefit of many more people they know? 

Things really get complicated when Martinez realizes she may be a cold blooded killer like her father who bludgeoned her mom to death with a golf club when she was 7-years-old in front of her, hence her reason for being a foster child.

For a young adult book, some harsh themes are throw about, but in the end, real bad things happen in real life. The F-word is used once in a blue moon, but over all this is a PG-13 book OK for most readers. Three stars for UCLA graduate and author Elizabeth Briggs first young adult book "Future Shock." 

New Dead Poems

Cold glances and judgmental stances.

Poker face, stone face, call it whatever, display

no emotions. Too many see only the tangible substances;

the size of one's bank account, the importance of their job, 

how attractive they and others are. The unsuccessful 

and ill-favored looking with small wallets lose confidence

and shield our emotions. The almighty dollar dictates the women 

we can and cannot talk to, it shrouds our confidence and self worth, 

yet in the end every ones talents and beauty 

fade to nothing.

                                                                                Izzy Schurr

Few people like me, most hate or think their better and 

smarter then me. I see it their eyes, that look of contempt and 

judgment. I used to smile a lot more, but the majority of unfriendly

 souls have chanced my face to stone. It's way too awkward when 

your smiling face is met with a cold stare, and that happens to me a lot,

hence the stone face most of the time. Ironically it's the haters who

keep me alive, those shallow self center souls who'd relish in my suicide

  will have to go on judging for no reason, and be contemptuous without a cause.

The awesome few who enjoy my presence can't see the emptiness in 

my heart or the full belly of laughter buried in seriousness. 

Keep moving, keep playing, keep dreaming. (Pia)

The Musical Hero's of 2112, Script Schurr Forschurr

My blog site is very unfriend toward screen writing format, it's an easy fix, but I don't have the dough to do so right now.

For those unfamiliar with basic screen writing, here's the basics; INT is interior / EXT is exterior.

Fade IN

It's the year 2112 and I'm two years shy of being a 150-years-old. I look like I'm still in my 50s and feel like a 25-year-old.

In the year 2020 I embraced Nanotechnology. Within twenty years of many people consuming nano pills to cure their cancer or stop aging, even both, a lot of nano pill users stopped taking the pills, and by 2050 nano pills were banned on the legal market, yet to this day, the so called black market is flourishing with the pills.

Decades before nano pills were a reality, nanotech pills had their critics and skepticism. On the positive end of nano pill consumption, the pills did indeed stop the aging process and even cure cancer by fixing people's dead cells or replacing the bad cells outright.

The critics claimed that if the nano pills replaced too many human cells, people would indeed look and be young forever, but they literally could become robots, void of all tangible emotions and feeling. The critics were right, but not  100 percent correct.

Some regular nano pill users have become what the critics claimed, mindless with absolutely no imagination, but these poor souls were excellent retail workers and janitors for life.

Some regular nano pill users, including healthy individuals almost 200-years-old however posses all the same human emotions they've always had, others like myself lost their entire sex drive and became asexual.

Becoming asexual was perfect for me, all the women I've desired from high school till middle aged never wanted me and vise versa, so this was a total blessing for me.

I still have all my creative cerebral passions such as photography and music to transport my dreams desires.    

Facing the death penalty if caught with these five little girls in my basement was absolutely worth it to me. In these twisted modern times, I may have started to seriously lie to myself.

Convincing myself what is OK and what is illegal and sadistic to do with these little girls, but the stage has been set and the camera will roll.

What I was about to do and have these little girls do in the depths of my den of debacle surely was a felony and a sin against every law these days, but my desires and dreams got the best of me...

Relax folks, if your still reading, this is rated G stuff, I may have lured my readers into thinking this is some sort of an evil sex fantasy, but the fantasy is purely about music.

In the year 2112, all music that does not contain positive lyrics about the government and God, is not only illegal to play or listen to, but a punishment of maybe life in prison or even death.

Too many brain washed citizens still believe exposure to rock 'n' roll music is poisonous to the mind and bears a one way ticket to an eternity in hell.

The five little girl's, ages three to 5-years-old, I've got in my basement jamming away on drums, guitar, bass and sometimes horns are also subjected to the current 2112 laws, and may face the same fate as myself if caught.

If you understood the sheer talent of these amazing girls the way I do, you'd want their music captured and listened to by the souls who truly understand the sounds of real music.

INT BASEMENT DAY

All five girls are on a small stage complete with all the necessary rock 'n' roll musical instruments. The lead and rhythm guitarists are plugging in their guitars to their amps, the bass player is doing the same.

The drummer is seated on her drumming stool and adjusting her drum heads and cymbals to her exact preference.

Mark is connecting his Sony Handi Cam to the sound board. The camera is already on a tripod and facing the stage.

Despite the young age of the girls, their wisdom far exceeds their years.  

KAYLA
(5-year-old lead guitarist)
Mark, if the police catch us, will they kill us?

The other four girls stopped all instrumental preparations and their shocked faces are eagerly awaiting Mark's answer.

MARK
Kill us on the spot?
(slight pause)
Very unlikely, and I'm the the one who would probably go to jail for life, maybe even sentenced to death, but you girls would probably be lectured and not allowed to play music, but no jail or death for you girls.

KAYLA
(Slightly angered)
Not allowed to play music!? That's not OK at all!

Kayla plugs a jack into her guitar and plays an amazing version of the "The Star-Spangled Banner." An electrical non vocal version of the song that Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck could only play in their wildest dreams.

While Kayla is jamming away, seeming effortless, her four other bands mates watch in awe, as does Mark. When Kayla is done playing, Mark and the rest of the girls are too wowed to even applaud.

ASLHEY
(4-year-old drummer)
That was a perfect version of the song. When we're done playing today, I want to watch the video later.

MARK
I forgot to turn the camera on, can you play it again Kayla?

 TEMICKRA
(5-year-old lead singer)
(to Mark)
What? She'll never be able to play the song again like that again, that was straight from the heart, inspired by the soul, I can't believe you didn't turn on the camera.

KAYLA
I play my best guitar in years, and you didn't turn on the camera, your so funny Mark.

JAYLENE
(3-year-old bass player)
That's OK, we've still got a lot more music to play today. Remember to turn on the camera Mark, and make sure your lithium batteries are all charged.

KAREN
(4-year-old rhythm guitarist)
(Smiling)
Yea Mark! Remember last time your camera ran out of battery life and Ashely did that amazing drum solo which you missed.

MARK
Yea, yea, I remember, but now I've got three batteries all charged and ready to go, and I finally replaced the plug in adapter for the camera.

JAYLENE
You finally got a new plug in adapter, because you spilled beer on the old one.

KAYLA
Mark, your  a lot smarter when you don't drink beer.

ASLHEY
I think he's funny when he drinks that dark stuff in the big glasses with the handles.

KAREN
As long as he doesn't drink too much, but even when he just drinks one, his breath really stinks.

MARK
Enough gibber jabber, let the jam session begin.

Mark is standing behind the camera and begins to pour a bottled IPA into a handled glass.

The girls start playing Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times."

Mark double checks that the camera is in focus and that the sound level is OK. He is satisfied with his camera settings, sips his beer and bobs his head to the music.

This little all girl band sounds amazing, and quickly Mark realizes he forgot to hit the record button.

Mark turns the camera on and enjoys his beer and the music.
