It does look like Let's go fo'ward not back. We have to be our own
earth's in a backward spiral
heroine's and hero's.

by Joe B. Rot Rises Ominous, Tidings Ahead First off let me get this of my chest these MAILER DAEMON@ smtp1. webco... failure notices From The SmarterMail program. As someone not up on the online expertise I’ve been sent these constantly. I guess its time subscribe because when at first one gets a 207.134. 171.110 does not like recipient or a 553 domain thing I realized after sending her the "Sorry,you don’t like recipient. You have a long life and all the best to you and it still comes back as I saw that it wasn’t Ms. Angela,Linda,Lauren, Tracy,or Hanna but the flookin’ program guidelines. Although these ladies may indeed not like me I have not heard from them but the insidious program. Guess its time to be a subscriber to really converse one to one. Guys,Gals,new to this online date,chat,cyber- link stuff don’t believe the program if it sounds like a form letter if you get an email from people instead of program then talk then at least is a living breathing life form after all isn’t that what we that art too busy doing trying to connect so we can touch flesh to flesh and form attachments, friends,lovers,and families? From 1999 it rocked, blazed,a trail for artists,comics,singer, inventive musical improv. Mr. Keith Savage was their from its inception along with Bob-O-matic as MC I don’t know what I know is Hotel Utah’s last night was in its current location was Monday,Dec. 1,2003. But already its spirit which always resided in the people inside the hotel slash bar/café/ music/comic improvisational space. Charles Pitts,current ‘Po Poet,ex Poor Magazine Alumni introduced me to the Hot-U in mid 2002 because after being Poor M for a time I was feeling burnt out and had for my own sanity find more than media,media,media. Being an A-political guy in politically savy in a fem organization began feeling a bit like Hades plus there were other outlets to explore that is to me private like trying out comedy,singing,and other than political polemic poems sometimes they all blend into drek. Finding other ways of expression in the U helped me see way beyond my work at "PM" now its closing (Hotel U not PM)because of some deal but as I’ve said its not the building though it will be sorely missed as a gathering place it’s the soul force of the people residing it that made H-U a place to be Mondays or any day of the week. I'm too depressed to tell where the new U is but that’s no secret its already spreading by word -of-mouth. I’m glad the Utah will be reborn in a new space but its spirit never died. And now,The Return Of Past Rot. Governator A. Schwarzenegger’s freeze of the enrollment of California’s Healthy Families program will place more low income families already struggling in vicious vice. His proposed cutting of $3.8 billion from both current and coming budgets shreds whatever help families were depending on. Yes,there's a number to voice your complaint to the Governor about what he’s seems oblivious to – ‘Um,I don’t believe cutting state medical funds to those families who need it the most helps anyone only creates more devastating illnesses and houseless people who are in now worse medical need than before,for many it will be a life ending Death Sentence. As for immigrant driver’s license’s being revoked is wrongly written,a bad mean,and will ultimately back fire But as usual few pol’s think in long term but only in short term bumps adding to their next elections. The word has already changed,ancestors of Aztecs are voting,they like other rainbow tribes know all the tricks now. Keep pissing us rainbow folks off as we all join up,compare notes,hers/ histories,tragedies,and triumphs and begin a distinctly Old World Order,where everyone is included not like the false New World Order of globalized commercialized, consumer driven market place. Everyone know this world multi-faceted, lingual,ideas,and peopled by the vary ones who were at one time or another poised on an extermination list. Those days must never be forgotten. Remember the first to die,be experimented on, are the lame,blind,death, or anyone not physically perfect then the rest until it didn’t matter if one was sound in body and brain just being different means death and beauty, brains either in female or male form scared those who felt inferior but had the power of life and death and abused that power for their own selfish whims…. Remember our collective past folks,if we don’t, well Bush 1&2 is a glimpse at that dying but struggling past to be alive a plunge our world in blood yet again. Like I said I’m A-political,I just want outlive all this bull "S" don’t you out there want the same for you and your children’s children? Email: askjoe@poormagazine.org |
