Recent Works
Between '20-'24, I've been working on front-end web development.

Are you talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. --Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver"
Martin Scorsese's 1976 film does not grow dated, or over-familiar. I have seen
it 1/2 dozen times. Every time I see it, it works; I am drawn into Travis' underworld
of alienation, loneliness, haplessness and anger.
In "Taxi Driver," Travis Bickle is a war veteran, horribly scarred in Vietnam.
He encounters a 12-year-old prostitute named Iris (Jodie Foster), controlled by
a pimp named Sport (Harvey Keitel). Sport wears an Indian headband. Travis
determines to "rescue" Iris, and does so, in a bloodbath that is unsurpassed even
in the films of Scorsese. A letter and clippings from the Steensmas, Iris'
parents, thank him for saving their girl. But a crucial earlier scene between
Iris and Sport suggests that she was content to be with him, and the reasons
why she ran away from home are not explored.

UFO - McMinneville, OR 1952
1952 being the height of sightings Worldwide.
Two consecutive weekends buzzing the White House and Congress.
Spotted on three radar systems. Covered up by USAF. Pieces of s*it!
The technology displayed would replace oil, gas, coal and nuclear power WORLDWIDE!
But who, if anyone, would profit?
Everyone, except the Mother*uckers running the lies now.
The military industrial complex & spies who protect the lies.
- 1952 UFO

1967 - Star Trek
Gene Roddenberry creates an enterprise.
Like Jean Luke, its a revolution of thought & pride.
Personally, I believe UFO technology exists yet is hidden
by assholes to protect greed/wealth.
In other words, *ucking big oil. Mother*uckers, one and all!
Screwing with humanity for their own purposes.
- Star Trek, 1967

Statue of Liberty
She was a trendsetter from day one
Before her dedication ceremony on October 28, 1886,
Lady Liberty was inaugurated with a massive parade through Manhattan.
As it passed by the Stock Exchange,
jubilant day traders rained down torn up ticker tape from the upper windows.
Thus began a New York tradition: the ticker tape parade...
- From France
- Completed, 1886

St Helens
Eruption of Mt St Helens, May, 1980 (Sunday).
In my 3rd year Central Washington University
Ellensburg, WA during ash fallout.
Black skies and no animal sounds. Stone-cold quiet.
Subsequent ash burned up motor in my VW bug.
- Mount St. Helens (known as Lawetlat'la to the indigenous Cowlitz people, and Loowit or Louwala-Clough to the Klickitat)
- Is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest.
- It lies 52 miles (83 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon, and 98 miles (158 km) south of Seattle.
