Insightful Movie: "The Medium Is The Massage" (1967) by Marshall McLuhan... He Uses The Medium of Television to Study Television... Therefore Proving his Idea...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFwVCHkL-JU

Interviews and Many Psychedelic OP ART backgrounds... English Fashion Models Dressed in MOD Clothes and 1967 Computers with Punched Cards... He Really Got That Global Village Idea Correct... as we Have seen Movies Filmed by Terrorists as they Stormed the US Capitol Building using their Phone... and We Saw the Murder of George Floyd by a Policeman... Caused Riots Nationwide...

I Remember My Brother Martin Had Two Books by McLuhan on his Bookshelf at home. "Understanding Media" which was a Thick Book WITH ONLY WORDS... It Was Too Boring and I Only Read 10 Pages... The Other Book was Profusely Illustrated with Cartoons and Pop Art Images and Maybe 12 Words Per Page... "The Medium is the Massage" THAT ONE I Really Liked and He Got His Message Across...

This Film is the Most Effective Treatment of His Ideas YET... and since it's on Youtube... It's Proof of the Global Village Idea... Now, Anyone Can Publish Their own Story on Youtube... I Do...

Never Once Does he Mention that the Title was a Typographic Error... The Original Title was "The Medium is The Message" - and That Makes Sense... Message... NOT Massage... a Word that Means Rubbing the Body by a Professional... Including Prostitutes...

Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All the Cannabis Prisoners. A Dramatic Savings of Government Spending CURRENTLY WASTED On Law Enforcement and Incarceration and a MASSIVE INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY TAXES! Everybody Wins! We Could Use the Extra Money to Pay for Education and Healthcare for All.

If you don't smoke you wouldn't pay a cent. It's a Win-Win situation. More money going into the Treasury and Less going out. In addition, states that have legal medical marijuana have fewer deaths due to opioid addiction. Some people simply choose the safer drug... DUH...

Roses at Home - in California's Central Valley - I Watch These Bud, Blossom and then Fade Away... It Takes About a Week for the Complete Cycle... A Great Alternative to Watching TV News... Here are Some Links to Positive People Online.... Remember: Healthy Happy People Make a Healthy Happy Planet...

While I Spend My Time Walking in the Garden, Seeking Beauty... Others Pay Attention to the Madness of Politics... Occasionally, I Tune the TV To The News BUT... Only Briefly... Because Those People Far Away From Here are Behaving Crazy... a Whole Lot of Hatred...

Right Now, I'm Listening to an All New-Age Music Channel... "Music Choice: SOUNDSCAPES" Endless Outer Space Whoosh Whoosh Music, Celtic Harp, Piano Improvisations and Synthesizer Jazz... Little Tinkling Bells... Very Relaxing... Especially Since I'm Playing With Paint Dot Net Photo Processing Program... Cropping My Photographs of The Flowers in the Garden... and They Also Publish Words of Wisdom Quotes on the TV... Alan Watts, The Dali Lama, Ram Dass, Edgar Allen Poe...

I Naturally Face the Windows of My Home Whenever I'm Using My Computer... Therefore, I See Each Rose Through The Entire Life Cycle... First, It's a Green Bud, Then Tomorrow It Will be a Tightly Wound Rose, The Next Day It Will Be in Full Glory and Then the Day After That It Will Start to Fade... and Then The Petals Will Drop off...

It's Like Watching a Time Lapse Film but in Reality! Takes About a Week...

I'm spending a Lot More Time Associating With Positive People Online and Ignoring Politics. I Have Already Made Up My Mind about Who to Vote For... and SEEING CRAZY Stuff on TV or the Internet Just Makes Me Angry with No Actual Benefit...

SO... I Have Joined a Bunch of "New Age" Philosopher Groups... Seeking Wisdom, Enlightenment and Extraterrestrial Contact... My Favorite is Sonya Sophia's World Tapping Circle. A Once a Week She Leads a Guided Meditation that always make me feel Optimistic... I Also Think Up New Ideas and Plans for Action While in That Trance... I Love and Accept Myself.

I'm really getting into NOTICING REALITY... On My Morning Walk Today I went Downstream Past the Vineyards... Observations on 5/1/2020

The Grape Vines have Sprouted with Incredibly Tiny Grapes... each one is about a Twentieth of an Inch in Diameter... Bright Green... and Since I am the only person that walks this Path... It has become overgrown with weeds... Some are Over Six Feet Tall! It has Been a Week since I Have gone in this direction and... The Vegetable Garden is returning to Nature... The Former Landlord had a Hobby of Growing Onions and Squash but now... it looks like a Post Apocalypse Science Fiction Movie... I also noticed two Cats... Since No People Have walked that path, the Cats Like it... also at the Bench at the End of the Path is in a Shady Spot! I used to enjoy Sunbathing on that Bench but NOW... The Sun Has MOVED due to the Seasons... and It's Behind a Tall Tree... Today there were very few Geese in the Field Next door... Sometimes I Have Seen a Dozen... But NOT TODAY...

This is what the Creek Path Looked Like
a Couple of Months Ago...
Now it is Overgrown With Weeds...
NO PATH EXISTS!
But Since I Know Where I'm Going I Just
FORGE A TRAIL!
