2 March 2007

1.  I am prepared to make the first Retro Punk X Preacher video. I should have it in a couple of days.

2.  I am working to get the Enticer Girls video done since (as it is planned - hopefully performers will do it) it will be a major video part that can be done before April and/or May.

3.  I did the BlooMeUp Moe page but I still need to give it some thought and improve it. I did put it up but no link to it. I added a fortune telling section that is different from the Rasputin one. It is more Retro Punk X.

4.  In my research I realized that I had always given Pythagoras credit for the Golden Mean or Golden Section (Φ) and I recently discovered that the Mayans had also created it. It has an odd attribute like Pi (Π) in that it is not an absolute number but goes on for infinity. With this realization, I saw that I could equate (Φ) with a secret code of God. Since I really did not give the faith people any credence I saw that this could be a code that they would appreciate. I did make a page and posted it but made no links to it because I need to do a lot more with it. It is interesting and I can relate both Pi and The Golden Section to Jack's Theorem because that is what it was based on. Jack's Theorem Performance Art Piece is located here http://www.performanceart2.com/theorem/index.html 

5.  The bones/outline of the performance is posted at the Index page. I plan on getting it essentially finished this month with only the Environmental Theater parts yet to do.

1.  I improved the BlooMeUp Moe page and have communicated with a potential performer. I added a page with a collection of inert grenades and a parable that ends it with a relevant moral. The moral is that man is essentially good which is different than most contemporary religions.

2.  I finished the Golden Mean page that is titled The Secret Code of God. I drew a comic strip page that portrays how the Mayans or any even much more primitive people could have created the Golden Section (Φ).  There is more that I can write on it but I would have to find the resource material and do not have time at the moment.

3.  I linked the BlooMeUp Moe page from the performance and also the Secret Code of God. They are now available for the search engines and viewers to see.

4.  I am still working on creating some of the video material before the end of the month.

5.  I noticed from my stat pages that there is a lot of interest in the Dan Ashwander site.

6.  I noticed that the BlooMeUp Moe and the Secret Code of God pages distracted me a lot and took a lot of my time since the 2 March post. However, both are now worthy of reading and not just hints of something that may be worthwhile.

1.  I am beginning to realize that the size of the printed out version is going to be equal to Tolstoy's, War and Peace or Ayn Rand's, Atlas Shrugged. I remember when my son was about ten we were in a bookstore (we frequented book stores - in fact they have always been my favorite place to be) and I saw a copy of War and Peace. I handed it to my son and said that this is the biggest book that was ever written. He looked at it and of course had to go to the back to see how many pages it was. So as I progress with this why not create this millennium's "War and Peace". Of course the format will be different but I am sure that if Tolstoy had the Internet, he also would have changed the format.

2. The performance is on the first page of Google when you type in "Retro Punk" other parts are also on the first page with things like "Dan Ashwander".  This encourages me to hurry along. People are hitting the site so I need some of the better things on it.

3. I am trying to get some video's up. Perhaps this week.

4. In reference to Tolstoy's War and Peace I see this as War and Peace and the ending is the struggle and not the solution. I did add links from two of my sites that have been up for awhile. I realize that I already have the 1,400 pages of printed out material on the Internet. Some of it is related and some is not. So I will link the related parts. The related links that I put on was the "Search for Time Travelers" and the environmental theater piece "Strike".

3 April 2007

1.  I put up the important part of Chapter two video. The Enticer Girls. I relied on a long time friend to get the performers needed. Because of the age needed for "The Enticer Girls" (between 14 and 18) it would have been difficult without her (Margi T.) help. The ages were important because they are in the range of the Evolution Bible. CHAPTER TEN - EVOLUTION BIBLE

2.  The Enticer Girls (Kristen G. and Maggie R.) became the Sirens that tried to lure Ulysses. Due to this, I decided to make Dr. Jack the Entomologist blind and deaf. I had not thought of it until I realized that the Enticer Girls were so similar to the Sirens. Dr. Jack now will work better since he cannot see the beauty and he cannot hear the words of the Enticers of the Super Organism. I posted the video on the page as well as on MySpace and YouTube.

3.  I hope to video the BlooMeUp Moe girl this week.

4.  I wrote and posted an Epilogue page even though it isn't finished yet. I related it to Tolstoy and the Painter Gauguin as well as Poe.

5.  I wrote and posted a Study Guide (not yet complete). I felt that it was necessary to understand the subliminal messages as well as the surreal content. This also frees me up to be more surreal in finishing the work. It is like a license to go wild. However, I don't feel wild. I just feel more free.

6.  At this time the performance (when printed out) with relative pages, is 134 pages long. I didn't count the videos and related videos because there are so many to still do.

8 April 2007

1.  I finished and posted the BlooMeUp Moe video. I titled it "Life is better in a bubble".  The title is intended to be ambiguous. The viewer is to figure out what it means to themselves. By keeping it ambiguous the mystery of the BlooMeUp Moe girl is enhanced. Even though I had figured out what I needed for the video. Lindsay and Katie actually defined her. I can see that she has great possibilities as an individual performance art character. The video is posted on YouTube. Still photo's of the BlooMeUp Moe, bubble gum sniper, woman of mystery were posted in three places in the performance.

2.  I have (meaning over the last two months or so) been trying to figure out a way to put puppets or a puppet in the performance. I think that Karl Wang (I changed his original name) would work. I already had a skit made for him but he never performed. I would link him off the Marx page.

3.  I added illustration (re-drew one) to the BlooMeUp Moe Bazooka gum page and the God's Secret code page.

4.  The RetroPunkX site is consistently getting hits even though I have not linked it from the "Performance Art Definition" site.

5.  I do now believe that it is a worthy site now that I posted the BlooMeUp Moe video and Enticer Girls video. These two video's themselves (even though they are not like cutting off a chickens head) have their own shock value. It seems like this is always the quality that separates Performance Art from all the other arts.  There is still a lot to do.
