OK, You Want to Draw a New Line on the Map? Fine... That's the Answer to Vlad "The Impaler" Putin.
They Could have All Held Hands and Chanted "OM" - Then Vlad "The Impaler" Putin would have drawn a New Line on the Map... Think about it for an Instant... Russia is Already the Largest Country in the World and Putin Wants to Make it Even Bigger... That's ABSURD! Remember: The Only Real Lines on the Map are Coastlines.Is Violence the Answer? NO. What IF Ukraine had Simply Surrendered on Day One of the War. No One would have Died. No Refugees. No Bombs. No Oil Fuel Depots on Fire!
Odd Building in the Middle of the Sacramento River near Downtown - SACRAMENTO RIVER WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE - and - Sonya Sophia: Tapping Into Divine Purpose Seminar - and - Photos of the Tower Bridge
The new Sacramento Intake Structure had two main functional requirements—to supply water at a capacity of 160 million gallons per day and to ensure the associated fish screens would meet current regulatory agency requirements. The design team created a structure that engaged the community and gave Sacramento a new river landmark. The structure, an iconic symbol that represents Sacramento’s relationship with its rivers, has won numerous design awards.

https://youtu.be/OUkQ0UMRlYAINTENTION: We live in an evolving universe, in an orgasmic nuclear dance of consciousness. Everything is changing, evolving, transforming. Wise men and women throughout history have tried to define the nature of the reality in which they found themselves. Myriad models have existed- most have fallen into the historical garbage heap, others cling by threads. We, these generations, are creating a new model. Is it all figured out and defined? No. Do we know some of the elements of what this future model might look like? Yes.
The primary intention of the Conscious Life Expo Conference and Exposition is to participate in the conscious co-creation of a new world, a world based on new paradigms in science, in spirituality, in longevity, in local and global community, in relationship, in health and well-being.
And while we co-create this new wholistic model through our authentic self expression, we also participate in a powerful and passionate celebration of life and love. The Expo is a three-day gathering of the tribes, a three-day celebration of evolution and consciousness and a three-day brainstorming session on who we are, where we are and where we are going.
Any questions? Call our toll-free number 1-800-367-5777 Thank you and we hope to see you at the Expo!

A Christian Man I Knew Said: "You Can't Find What You're Looking for by Climbing a Mountain or Taking Drugs. The Only Way is Jesus." What he Failed to Consider was Climbing a Mountain AND taking Drugs at the Same Time! I went to Yosemite and Took LSD and Marijuana and I'm Glad I Did... We Hiked to the Top of Yosemite Falls and Up There... The Entire Mountain Was Dancing... Big Fun!
I Don't Have Much Patriotism for the USA but I Have Great LOVE For Google... The Era of COUNTRIES is Obsolete... Hey, USA, What Have You Done for Me Lately? OR EVER?
Congress is Attempting to "Regulate" Big Tech... Bad Idea...
"The Only Real Lines on the Map Are Coastlines." Borders Between Countries are Totally Fake and CAUSE a Lot of Trouble... Link to This Button on my Zazzle Webstore: and Many More! https://www.zazzle.com/store/gregvan/products?ps=24&st=DateCreated&dp=0&cg=0&vt=&qs=one%20earth&pg=1 |
The Last time The USA Ever did Anything Valuable was 1973 when DARPA Invented the Internet...
The House Antitrust Committee has written five bills that will regulate Big Tech. Frankly Speaking: I'm on the Side of Big Tech Because They Have Made the World a Better Place to Live. While the US Congress is a Perfect Example of Idiots that Fail to Act and When They Do... are Usually WRONG...
I Remember that the USA Tried to Kill Me During the Vietnam War (but I was too young by ONE Year) ... and They Still Have all those CrazyLaws® - Did You Know that Marijuana is Still Illegal in the USA? WTF! Is That INSANE or WHAT...
The USA Keeps on Stealing Money from My Paycheck in TAXES... that They Use to Pay for Wars that BLOW UP Random Countries for No Reason... What Did I Get for the Thousands of Dollars I Spent Hiring Soldiers to Fight in Nicaragua, Iraq, and Afghanistan? NOTHING!
"Do No Evil" is the Guiding Principal of Google... "Plausible Deniability" is the Motto of The USA...
The USA Funded Research that gave us the Atom Bomb, The Hydrogen Bomb and the Atomic Power Plant. The Three Stupidest Ideas in the Entire History of Stupid Ideas! Did you know that the USA Bombed The State of Nevada Over 100 Times With Atom Bombs?
The Country of Japan Was Ready to Surrender BEFORE The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but... Truman wanted to "Send a Message" to Russia That We HAD the Bomb and We WERE WILLING To Drop It...

I have Received Actual Benefit from Google... They Pay for Public Webspace for me to Publish My Ideas, Artwork and Songs. I Am Grateful for Youtube, Zazzle, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple and HP. Already, Apple is a Religion as Powerful as the Catholic Church... or maybe not...
We Could Cut All American's Taxes if We Just Reduced Spending on Military Madness by Half.
I'm Looking Forward to FIFTEEN Years of Peace after we Lose the War in Afghanistan... We Had Fifteen Years After Vietnam...
If Americans Get Killed, Blame Joe. We Knew That They Would Need an Airplane Flight OUT... Months Ago... and What's Up with giving the Taliban Guns, Bullets, Night Vision Goggles, Stinger Missiles, Humvees, Helicopters and Airplanes... Didn't we do that with ISIS in Iraq? Does No One in the White House Remember History? are they all DUMB AS ROCKS? https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/planes-guns-night-vision-goggles-talibans-new-us-made-war-chest-2021-08-19/

a friend emailed me a newspaper article:
Headline: Climate change is radicalizing young people — here’s what that means and how to combat despair.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/how-to-stop-climate-change-despair-according-to-professor.html
anyway... It's pretty damn smoky here in Orangevale... I'm staying indoors all the time and running the Air Conditioner... Listening to Science Fiction books being read Out Loud... a Total Escape from reality...
During the Late 1990s I was working at the Saratoga Ave Radio Shack during EL NINO... It was amazingly depressing to experience Rain, Rain, Rain every day... So... To Raise my spirits... My Father offered to buy me a Boat Ride down the Colorado River thru the Grand Canyon... WELL... Since the water was at the highest level in YEARS... I Declined... It Just seemed too damn dangerous... SO, I Took a Week in Las Vegas instead... and Rode the Rides... Played some Slots and Drank a Lot... The Star Trek Ride at the Hilton was EPIC. First, there was a Trekkie Decorated Casino and then... when we actually rode the ride... it simulated a Battle in Space with Klingons... and the Chairs moved a LOT when the Bombs Exploded... I also watched the Naval Battle at Treasure Island (Like in the Movie Miss Congeniality 2), Rode the Roller Coaster at New York New York... Danced to the song Aiko-Aiko At The Mardi Gras at the RIO but... I Refused to Ride the Roller Coaster at the StratosFEAR Tower... TOO MUCH! I Got in Line but Chickened out... and... All Along the Main Road... Flashing Lights... Much better than risking drowning in the Colorado River...

I must tell you about the time I wrote the Slogan "The Only Real Lines on the Map are Coastlines." I Was Waiting in my car for my wife to get thru shopping at the Dollar Store... While Gazing at the HAPPY DONUTS store across the Street... The Idea POPPED into my Mind Fully Written and Illustrated with the Photo of the Whole Earth... That's the true benefit of working at Zazzle creating Gifts... Whenever I Have a Spare Moment, I Can Design Art and Words... Often I Design Art While Dreaming or Just Lying Down in the Twilight Zone between being Awake and Being Asleep... Remember: Borders Between Countries are Totally Fake and CAUSE a Lot of Trouble...
This Alien Eye Design was Created in an Altered State:

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.
I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.
I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.
During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS - Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA, Not Even Once.
Ever since Victory in Japan, All of Our Wars have been Marketing to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.
