DECEMBER "Dark Year of the Penguin"

With this job as a ghost
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Am I here, or not here? What the fuck is this?
Each morning the nymphs of oblivion caress me:
"Get used to it, Idiot,
You have nothing to do in front of the mirror,
You are stateless,
without doctrines,
stop writing aphorisms, and thinking of your folks"
I cares the ivory spine of these times,
I kiss the face of casualty and I despised myself,
I lift the daring animal in which I live,
I throw it in the dark street
of similarity,
Dying its hair eleven thousand colors,
I give it Santa Monica and Hollywood in the evenings,
I fill it with cheap vodka and marihuana,
But it's useless, I'm stubborn,
I am a ghost flying to Havana.

Mayan new age world-wide meditations

"With a new social order there comes a time of freedom where we can move like the clouds, without limitations, without borders. We will travel like the birds, without the need for passports. We will travel like the rivers, all heading towards the same point..."

SAM's ZERO WASTE CAMPAIGN

The Green Stage Alliance 2013 ZERO WASTE CAMPAIGN for City Council District 13th and 14^th, is an initiative of Sam Kbushyan, Business Representative of the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council and Director of the Immigrants Charitable Foundation. Sam is also a 13^th District candidate for Los Angeles City Council.

The Campaign will evaluate and elaborate a pilot plan to develop a Zero Waste program for Districts 13^th and 14^th during 2013. These Districts, from Hollywood to Downtown, represents the hardcore of Los Angeles restaurant business and public events, serving a large residential and transient population.

The 2013 ZERO WASTE research will endorse the adoption of pilot food waste recycling programs and the use of biodegradable products at publicly staged events and businesses to reduce organic waste going to local landfills, replacing Styrofoam and petroleum base plastic by implementing use of biodegradable greenware and organic plastics.

We are changing from a culture of waste disposal into a culture of recycling discarded materials. We are in need of educational components for the adoption of alternative recycling programs.

These biodegradable products and recycling of discarded material services provides an alternative disposal system instead of using an in-sink garbage disposal units, since there have been extensive clogging problems involving food waste in the overflow of public sewers.

The adoption of food waste recycling programs combined with the use of biodegradable products aloud for organic waste-hauling to be mixed with green waste at a composting facility and the nutrient-rich finished product is used by farmers and gardeners to help grow bigger and better crops.

NOVEMBER Dark Year of the Penguin

They say I have left

though I still rest in this furniture from childhood

next to the cyclical dust of everyday lies

in the shadows of forbidden museums

where the ministry of fear

raise their huge doors

against the shame of the world

hen pain is a preaching of silence

hen hatred is the bloody nectar of devotion

that only by faith in our dreams

we dared to see

that the wind and dust of history

demands the same value in the market-place of doubts,

that the difference between the pig and the peasant

lies in the stubborn colors of some papers

and we understand that the philosophy was

questioning if the pig lives to feed the peasant

or the peasant lives to feed the pigs,

and now that I am like a ghost

I rest under the same dust of the museums

where they exhibit governmental lies

From generation to generation

From hatred to hatred

From all the false eternity of these halls

shaken by a catechism of madness

so that the mouth of a successive priest

eats the pig

eats the peasant

and says I have left.

OCTOBER Dark Year of the Penguin

Loneliness is eight hours in the office,

is being an old man wandering the streets without a hat,

is listening to a certain song in a premeditated bar,

loneliness is having breakfast with nobody,

writing long letters,

watching T.V. every Sunday

loneliness is a house without portraits,

a dirty carpet and an empty mailbox,

loneliness is a house without friends,

loneliness is a country, unknown

                                  Jorge Luis Rodriguez
