Reality tv and violence

seem to go hand in hand as evidenced by shows like Bravo's 'Vanderpump Rules'(inferring Kristen is borderline),'Shahs of Sunset's 'Gigi(could be borderline), 'Housewives of NJ',(Theresa's bro and hubby,Danielle,Theresa fights),RHOA,(Apollo beating on Brandon, Now arrested for fraud.) to name a few examples. These shows are getting more and more like Jerry Springer. What is it about these venues and us that we  need to watch this crap? It is reminiscent of the old days and Rome and it's gladiators and the arena whre we had them fight each other with wild beasts in the wings nipping at their heels like in "Gladiator' movie with Russell Crowe.

And what about the Kardashians who replaced our obsession with no talent Paris Hilton? (yes she and kim are models and now they are into fashion)Now new generation of this brood is here in Kendall and her strutting down runway at NY's fashion week in her barely there clothing. Her and sis have new fashion line at Pac Sun.

Let us not forget Brandi Glanville and her drinking,bad behavior and now she has a 2nd book out after her first 'texting and tweeting'..

Lost court case...

Need to move out by 10/3. Will take only essentials and sheriff dept will throw all else to curb. How sad,especially when landlord has a 1 BR apt available at end of month as neighbors movede out yesterday. She blows. What a witch and liar as said I could stay as know. Judge was viscious in court too,Tanya. Had hoped not to get her. Found motel in E. Durham,Erin and Melody's that takes section 8,pets and has some people there on it so most likely will go ther but place not available til 2 weeks from now so will have to pay to stay in a motel and possibly for a storage site til get place and for move to storage. How can I do that if need to pay rent at motel even with subsidy and for pet deposit? Should be interesting to see how all works out.

Now, need to leave again.

My landlord,presently, can't make up her mind. She just said how we need to get section 8 out promptly to see place so get section 8 to pay my rent subsidy. Next day she says place won't pass inspection as is as we already know so nw I need to go so she can reclaim prossion of the place. She sings a different tune daily so don't know where am at one minute to the next. I need new storm windows as have but 2 out of 10 windows,new roof as buckled and water damage to walls causing mold which is killing my sinuses as 'sick building' syndrome. Yet she got full rent this month to live in a dump! Adult protective services,Cairo building dept.,social services and advocate through brain association of nys,coarc,common ground etc. , won't help in any way until my stuff is thrown on the curb,with pets and self,then end up in welfare motel which I have to pay daily for until money exhausted. Who pays to put my things in storage? No one I guess so will have nothing but what can pack in duffle bag,back pack. how sad.

Art as a form of prayer..

I attended a workshop on art as prayer Saturday at Oneness in Peace Center, www.Onenessinpeace.org in Germantown, NY and I enjoyed myself and did some art work while there. They have retreats at their house and offer meditation as a way to connect with God.

Above is one of my recent works. My take of Van Gogh's work. What you think..is there a likeness to it? Do you like it?
