A Re-Post from a very favorite blogger/writer/musician/ bon vivant/intellectual and man about town…

Mr. Powers writes the clean line. With style and truth.

Enjoy…

Wish I had Photoshopped this, but found it with no credit. Damn. Better get back to work on those graphics…

Wow. Let’s Give Ourselves A Hand. Or A Keyboard.

Here’s a bow to each and every one of my fellow writers, bloggers and site admins that participated in yesterday’s Black-Out to protest SOPA and the associated PIPA proposed bills.

The numbers really did make a difference and the legislation has been tabled. For now. Came across two articles earlier today stating that these items are not dead. Plans to embalm their corpses and try again in February are rumored to be in the works. Apparently in the hopes that bloggers and site owners have the attention span of an inbred feline.

In the interim here’s a bit of amusement. And many thanks to our community. Am glad to have been a part, and hope to have imparted information to those net citizens who were not aware of the true ramifications.

So let’s take a peek at the author of SOPA and his webpage… -wicked smile-

YoYo-Dyne Will Be Dark Today to Protest the Protect IP Act

Protests The Protect IP Act

Many websites are blacked out today to protest proposed U.S. legislation that threatens internet freedom: the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). From personal blogs to giants like WordPress and Wikipedia, sites all over the web — including this one — are asking you to help stop this dangerous legislation from being passed. Please watch the video below to learn how this legislation will affect internet freedom, then scroll down to take action.

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.

Not In The US? Petition The State Department.

“I am writing to you as a
voter in your district. I urge you to vote “no” on cloture for S. 968,
the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous,
ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration.
I urge my representative to vote “no” on SOPA, the corresponding House
bill. Over coming days you’ll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy
organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation
because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and
innovation. We hope you’ll take our concerns to heart and oppose this
legislation by voting “no” on cloture.”

A Ron Paul Dance

Had to add the video, for old times sake.

If you’re foolish enough to think that Ron Paul didn’t ‘know about’ the first person newsletters bashing Jews for almost 10 years and his other fabulous. sorry loon, crap then ignore the video.

Wanted to put the song up for Ron’s platform speeches though. You’re welcome Ron. Expect a Cabinet position for Miss R.

Nothing Much

Am clearly on unscheduled hiatus.

Current unopened mail in the YoYo-Dyne Email Inbox: 306. This does not count the 30 or so that have been opened and not answered or viewed.

Love you all. I do not subscribe to random or ‘please add me!’ blogs. Only read those that draw me in. Writers who are savvy, funny, and left of center. You know who you are.

The Demon Seed (aka my brilliant daughter) is visiting for two weeks. The Best.
Life itself, as in day to day, financial, physical, emotional has gone sideways on too many tangents too personal to mention.

Promise to catch up, absorb all of your fabulous words, and find a way out in another week or so.

Miss all of your emotions, tales, vivisections, views and blues. See you soon. In the words of Miss Vega…

If you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Off of the strip

In the outskirts
In the fringes
In the corner
Out of the grip

When they ask me
“What are you looking at?”
I always answer
“Nothing much” (not much)
I think they know that
I’m looking at them
I think they think
I must be out of touch

But I’m only
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge
And off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Wondering about you

I think that somehow
Somewhere inside of us
We must be similar
If not the same
So I continue
To be wanting you
Left of center
Against the grain

If you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Off of the strip
In the outskirts
In the fringes
In the corner
Out of the grip

When they ask me
“What are you looking at?”
I always answer
“Nothing much” (not much)
I think they know that
I’m looking at them
I think they think
I must be out of touch

But I’m only
In the outskirts
And in the fringes
On the edge
And off the avenue
And if you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Wondering about you
Wondering about you

This goes out to all my friends raised on Schoolhouse Rock….

An updated version just for us!

Don’t like the advertising bit for a film, but dug the video

Pornography!

Those long dead/bankrupt bastages…..

Here is only one example of what I wasted station time, money, equipment, employee wages and amusement on. Oh wait. WB doesn’t own this one bwahahahahahaha.

Sure it sucks but what the hell. It’s the point.

The curly headed plump one is moi, the rest of the cast /artists/editors are all Executive names as well. Obviously once this hit the advertising circuit for the station (not to mention the website -oops my department) it was cut. Within 24 hours. Nevermind that we were were raising money for a charity, as stated on the eBay auction.

And part of the point is that once we put it on eBay as a joke I got an almost immediate call from WB Burbank headquarters telling me to cease and desist… or my job would be rendered the same.

Puhlease. This is such a piece of short crap that HOW did they ever see it?

Oh wait. Made some nasty enemies (aka non-loving kiss kiss friends) on my travels down there.

If I can ever get MY produced pieces back will post them. Sorry. You may have to live though them. On the positive side… they are FAR superior to this ‘let’s take a few days off with station equipment because ‘Rachael said we can do it for the website.’

I WANT MY FATHER BACK YOU SONOFABITCH!

Rachael Black — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:37:31 +0000

Today is the anniversary of my father’s death. Maurice W. Black MD.

It may be the 4^th or 5^th year. Try not to think about it. The obituary says the 7th, but it was actually the 6th. I couldn’t even make it to your funeral; psycho half-sister (not your daughter), step-mother (who did love you) and being asked to sleep under the dining room table did that. And I KNOW you would have done the same. Fled at the atrocity and craziness.

My father was the only person in my life that encouraged me to go where life took me. Music and not Medicine, Life and not fleeting Love, Happiness and not Hopelessness.

Some of the above may sound wrong to you, but made the difference to me. Even when I wanted to slice my current career as a successful businesswoman and musician; to go to Med School. He gave me the down and dirty about life in the medical field today. He convinced me that 20 years ago (when I graduated from college) it would have been the right choice… but no longer.

I miss you dad. You gave me my love for learning. For history, most of all music from Classical to Show Tunes, to find my own path, and an unwavering love.

The last night of your life you called me. I did not call back, opting to call back tomorrow. Hate the phone, and email. You were then already dead of a massive stroke; on your way to help others. At the age of 75 you still went to work every day to head the county mental health division. To help others.

Doing my best not to dwell on that. Only that you loved me the most. As I loved you.

p.s. all of my family picture are on another hard drive. Dammit again.
