Once again I'd like to take the time to personally thank everyone who has joined in a world wide friendship to unite the world and bring about world peace and harmony.

As it was, once upon a time when we all gathered to learn, and better mankind. In my opinion, History should repeat itself in a grand and historic event "of the fine arts on a global scale bias free and cultavating"for all mankind.

Calling me early!

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:05:50 GMT

Something woke me up early "around 3A.M.". It was beconing me to the White City! On the express way near 63rd there was an auto accident east of murder castle. It was my first omen and not a good one. After taking photos of the museum of science and industry, my second omen a black crow landed on a tree. Sirens were echoing in the distance when taking the photo of the black crow directly behind the museum on the fair grounds. The third omen was a good one a hawk flew right in front of my windshield. A glimmer of hope for future work.

The other side of a coin.
