Dot, dot, dot ...

These "dot, dot, dot ..." gifts and apparel were inspired by ABC's "The Bachelorette" when Ashley was left hanging by bad boy Bentley.



Ashley finally saw the light and cursed Bentley when they had a brief reunion in Hong Kong. Buy these adorable T-shirts to remind you NOT to EVER leave a girl hanging like this.

Lex Was Here For The Crime of Doodling



Alexa was handcuffed and taken out of school to jail for the crime of doodling. All she did was write "Lex was here" in washable marker on her desk. Yet now Alexa has been disgraced, defamed, and made a criminal by the New York Police Department. This is a serious bullying, exploitation, and abuse of children. Please help stop such abuse and criminalization of our children!

To help stop the bullying, abuse and exploitation of children everywhere you may buy a high quality Awesome Designer Print of "Lex Was Here" in digital file format which may be printed using heat transfer or other methods as an artistic expression of freedom of speech and press to protest the mistreatment of children by the public school systems and corrupt individuals in the state law enforcement agencies. We must fight bullying, abuse, and exploitation of children in our public institutions the same way we would if it was done by parents in our homes. Please help! Get "Lex Was Here" today.

Doodling is a form of free speech and expression as well as a form of artistic expression. Many talented artists begin learning how to draw and express their imaginations by doodling. If children are arrested and made to suffer a traumatic experience for doodling, this can cause life-long trauma and prevent the development of their creative spirits, imaginations, skills and abilities. It is vital that children be permitted to express their artistic spirits by being allowed to doodle or make drawings, even while in class. Many of the greatest artists in the world began by doodling. Therefore we hope people everywhere will join the protest against such abuse, exploitation and censorship of our children's freedom of expressions.

Infidelity Golf Balls

Infidelity Golf Balls



Infidelity Golf Balls

A collection of gift and apparel designs inspired by the Tiger Woods sex scandal

Women gravitate toward men who are successful, rich and can provide for them. This is not an expression of male chauvinism so much as a truism. Our modern culture still promotes the ideal that a woman will marry a successful man, one who has money and can provide a good home and quality life for her and their children. Therefore it should come as no surprise to learn that the most successful athlete of the decade, Tiger Woods, has what amounts to a harem.

Women have been trying to get into Tiger's pants since he scored his first hole in one by winning a string of PGA tournaments and green jackets. Anyone in the know can tell you that as soon as a man puts on one of those green jackets and walks into a country club, women are going to be looking at him with seductive, longing eyes. One would have to be a eunuch to resist the temptation that comes with putting on a green PGA tournament winner's jacket.

Tiger Woods has accumulated over a $1,000,000,000 dollars knocking golf balls into holes; it is no wonder his putter is in such high demand by women hoping to get a piece of the action. Here we have a super golf pro champion, with earnings of over $100-million annually in commercial endorsements, a very successful gentleman by any standard. Is should therefore come as no surprise that women would be lined up around the corner to jump into the sack with Tiger, just as they do with a rock star.


Tips From A Pro: Infidelity is the one sport where everyone is a cheater

In fact, our modern culture promotes such infidelity. Whether you are a man or a woman, the advertising industry realized a long time ago that sex sells products. Hence sexy or handsome male or female athletes have become the standard used to pitch everything from breakfast cereal to automobiles. It does not matter if a successful athlete uses the products they are promoting or knows anything about them; as long as there is a beautiful body to pitch the products, that is all that counts.

Celebrity sells products and nothing sells products better than a sexy champion athlete. Hence when a champion like Tiger Woods comes along, commercial endorsements follow and his coffers fill to the brim. It matters not what Tiger's moral are, if he has any or not, those who seek only to sell a product come knocking at the door, begging to stamp his name on their products. For Tiger the flood of money which followed his endorsement has funded the purchase of everything from a $27.5 million dollar yacht, to a private jet and mansion size home.

A man who enjoys the company of beautiful women is easily seduced; Tiger's problem is perhaps that he married before he was done sowing his wild oats. Perhaps his wife, Elin, is not his soul mate, nor the true love of his wife, making it easy for him to fall into the arms of other women. Yes, marriage comes with vows, and Tiger has broken whatever his marital vows were. In fact, judging from the number of women coming out of the woodwork claiming to have been Tiger's mistress, he has shattered whatever marriage vows there were, perhaps beyond repair. Probably no amount of marriage counseling could fix what has been broken, as what women could trust a man who has bedded up with a harem of golf groupies, super models and even prostitutes?


If you are cheating on your wife, lock your clubs in the trunk.

Unfortunately morality is not one of the attributes which is born into an athlete. One must learn to be moral, faithful and how to love from their parents. Yet even when children are raised believing in God, going to church every Sunday, and being taught how to obey God's law, still there is temptation and as sinners, resisting temptation does not come easily. That's why in judging Tiger's infidelity we should each first look into our own hearts and see how we have sinned? What have you done to hurt or harm yourself or others as a result of temptation?

It's easy to joke about Tiger's transgressions. In fact, every late night show comedian and talk show host has been doing exactly that since the Tiger Woods sex scandal broke. Tiger has been the target of more jokes, perhaps, that holes in one he has scored, and I'm not talking golf balls here. Likely as not his indiscretions will result in the loss of commercial endorsements, as no company wants their products to be associated with a sex scandal or such ridicule and jokes as are being spouted in regard to Tiger Woods.

Yet Tiger will probably be able to weather the storm. After all, Tiger Woods has accumulated over $1-billion driving balls down the fairway and putting them on the green. If Elin divorces Tiger, he will be free to pick and chose from among the many women who fancy his eye and would like to sail away with him on his $27.5-million yacht. Upon the high seas and foreign ports of call, Tiger will have ample opportunity to express his lust without the glaring eye of a critical Puritanical, Protestant public handicapping him.


Never do anything you would have to lie to your wife about

A billion dollars can go a long way, and although money cannot buy happiness, Tiger isn't hurting when it comes to paying the bills. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs and homes due to the recession; millions of more are without health care. In contrast, Tiger Woods is a billionaire who earned his fortune hitting a golf ball and getting commercial endorsements. Quite frankly that is not real work in my book; it is just playing ball. The fact so many women would be drawn to a man who has made his living with his putter should also tell you something about those women -- that they are prostituting themselves one way or another just as is Tiger. What it also tells me is that Tiger is not hurting; he can pick and chose from a dozen or more beautiful women to keep him company on any given night -- certainly in time he should be able to learn from his mistakes and find another wife who loves him, not just his money, should he lose Elin.

However, I have my doubts about Tiger's ability to find and keep a good woman. I simply do not think Tiger has suffered enough to get that light to pop on in his head that he has been a fool and must mend his ways. Do you know what I'm talking about? Sometimes in life we have to loose everything to realize what it really is that is important. Through loss and suffering we come to learn how precious is what we have, and I don't mean money or material possessions. It is very possible that if Elin divorces Tiger, he will learn one of those hard lessons of life, that Elin and their children were more precious than all of Tiger's money.

Still I cannot cry for Tiger. While he is off sailing the world in his luxurious $27.5-million yacht, I am struggling to pay my bills every month. I am one of the millions of struggling Americans who lost their home during the recession. I am one of the millions of Americans who do not have health insurance. Though I work more than 12 hours a day, the economy is so bad that I still have trouble making enough money to make ends meet. The idea that a man can make hundreds of millions of dollars hitting a ball in a hole, makes me ask a lot of questions about our modern society, its values and nature. How can hitting a ball into a hole earn a man or woman more money than a hard day's work year in and year out? Why do we place such a high value on athletic abilities, regardless of one's moral consciousness?


Keep your putter in your pants and your balls in your pocket

Perhaps none of us can change the world over night. I may know how to love a woman, but what woman is going to love me if I do not even have enough money to pay my bills? Women are attracted to men who have Tiger's kind of money; even if its just for a one-night-stand, a $27.5-million yacht and a private jet will get a man laid. I drive around in a 20-year old van, which isn't getting me much action. Nor is all the art I make doing much to get me laid. Though getting laid isn't a measure of a man's worth, it sure is a boost to the ego. Hence, I'm not crying any tears for Tiger, nor do I have much sympathy for him. What I am doing is the same thing all the late night show host and comedians are doing: making jokes and gossiping about Tiger. For you see, every newspaper and media outlet in the world is making money off Tiger's troubles; so why not do the same?

The Tiger Woods sex scandal inspired me to create a series of "Infidelity Golf Ball" designs poking fun at Tiger. These are based upon a golf ball with lipstick prints symbolic of infidelity. I have added "Tips from a Pro" to each design and made these available upon gifts and apparel. Perhaps I'll be able to make a few dollars off of the Tiger Woods sex scandal just like so many other people are doing. Who knows, maybe these witty and whimsical designs will even get me laid! :-)

Inspirational advice and reflections

The following inspirational thoughts and reflections were sent to an aspiring writer who had chanced to see some bioluminescent insects after using a cocktail of alcohol and marijuana. He had also seen some amazing communal spiders while visiting a state park in Texas. I thought he might benefit from this bit of muse.

Dear Aaron,
After my initial email to you, I Googled "Tawakoni State Park, Texas" and found plenty of good sites and information related to the communal spiders, including photographs and species information. See http://texasento.net/Social_Spider.htm" Giant Spider Web in an East Texas State Park. Also it was interesting to learn about other species of communal spiders. I was, however, wondering how long the webs have been at Tawakoni State Park, if they are still there and how many spiders it takes to build such a large web over time?



Lake Tawakoni State Park, n. Wills Point, Hunt Co., Texas, August 15, 2007 (Donna Garde) [pronounced like "guard"]


I did not realize you have personal reasons for not killing insects. If that is the case do not bother with sending me any specimens. I only advise people do that when they observe an unknown species in abundance and want to have its identity confirmed. Of course just in going through life everyone leaves a very large carbon footprint which includes a trail of unseen dead insects. Probably just in driving down the highway you kill untold numbers of insects. God only knows how many love bugs or may flies I've kill in "accidentally" driving through swarms! I hope I am forgiven and don't burn in hell! :-)

With regard to my dear brother, Stephen, he may have been somewhat like you in that he did experiment with various hallucinogens. This went fine when among friends. He had used magic mushrooms which were cooked up as a soup -- magic mushroom parties were quite popular among some groups of students and it was easy to turn on to with this or that cocktail of grass, mushrooms and pills in the student ghetto across from the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida. U of F is one of the biggest party schools in the nation and has been for many years. But what happened to Stephen which killed him did not happen there; it happened when we went back home to visit my father who was ill with heart disease. I was told sometime afterwards by a minister who worked with crisis situations in the area that there was a possibility Stephen was given acid contaminated with strychnine, as this had been found in the area. That is a poison and could make for some "bad trips." In any case, it is not my place to judge the innocence or guilt of the kid who said he gave Stephen acid as he probably had no idea what was in the stuff he was peddling and Stephen did have a history of substance abuse, liking to stay high for days at a time. However, when you lose someone you love suddenly, it leaves many haunting questions. That is why at the time I dug into what happened to Stephen, spoke with everyone, and even contacted the truck driver and his wife. Because the truck driver would not even speak to me or the family, that indicated there was a reason; probably he was speeding as truckers usually do speed and he may have even been using drugs himself. Plus, his wife was in the truck with him, an added distraction. So they had to cover their asses which is what they did.

The reason I wanted to share Stephen's story with you was simply to suggest that you choose another road to go down in the future. Moderation may be a key to survival in many situations. The problem with substances like acid or other cocktails of drugs is that one does not know what is in them. In a sense it would be better if recreational drugs were legal and pure and distributed in known quantities so that people would know what they are experimenting with instead of dealing with impure substances off the street thrown together by people who are primarily interested only in how much money they can make and do not care how many people they hurt or harm or how many families are destroyed in the process. So I have no problem with advocating the legalization of EVERYTHING, that at least people can make their own choice to use whatever they want and to take the crime element out of the equation, as that not only contributes to paranoia and danger in dealing (you can get killed if you are dealing large enough quantities of substances), it results in a big unknown factor as to what poisons or impurities are in the mix one is smoking, injecting or even shoving up their ass! :-)

It is much like going out and letting every spider you see bite you to see what the effects of the bite are. This will not kill you unless you have an extreme allergy to insect bites and stings as some people do. And experimenting on yourself will let you know how you are effected. But one day you will come across that highly toxic spider bite that may be fatal or result in a very bad bite. Many spiders look like spiders for a very good reason; it serve to warn and ward off larger animals. The black widow is probably the best known example of this. I think you would be quite foolish to hold a large black widow in you hand and wait to see how long it takes to bite you. Yet every day thousands upon thousands of kids pop God only knows what pills into their mouth to see what the effect will be.

Yes, I know that many cultures have used mind altering substances for thousand of years. But it is interesting to know that these were often a group experience; so there was always a support group to insure people did not hurt or harm themselves. Psychoactive drugs have also been used in therapy in which case there is also a support group to safe guard against someone hurting themselves. Using the buddy system in this respect is a good idea. So hopefully if you continue your own usage of recreational chemical substances and cocktails, you will at least do it with the knowledge and in the presence of those who are not using, so they can help you avoid any mishaps. It is the same idea as having a designated driver when you go out as a group to party; if there is one person who does not drink and who drives everyone home, then you avoid the possibility of a fatal accident after the party.

As for bioluminescent dragonflies or other unknown species, there are literally thousands upon thousands of unknown species of insects and other small animals in the world. Most of these are in the depth of the ocean or in tropical areas. Also most are very small creatures and many also are soil dwellers. But there are also fallacious reports and hoax reports. I have done my own experiments to see how easy it is to make fallacious and hoax reports as well as studied these. I have even gone so far as to invent a entire series of fanciful species of bioluminescent creatures that are from other worlds and am working on a science fiction tale in this regard. I ever market designs of these fanciful creatures. You can see these in the Alien Arthropods and Mysterious Creatures gallery: A special collection of alien designs for sci-fi gallery at http://www.cafepress.com/bytelandart/996036

Also I have invented many fanciful butterflies and even fanciful fireflies: see:
Butterflies are Magic at http://www.cafepress.com/bytelandart/985917
and the firefly gallery at http://www.cafepress.com/bytelandart/648757
In the firefly gallery I have designs made using photomicrography as well as designs made using computer graphics techniques. There are also many other pure photographic designs and presentation in The Naturalist: Wonderful Flora and Fauna Prints at http://www.cafepress.com/bytelandart/531468

You may also want to take a look at The Aliens Among Us series. This was made using plastic sculpting material. See http://www.cafepress.com/toppics/2603621 Also see Hybrid Patriotic Orchids which are another of my fanciful creations at: http://www.cafepress.com/toppics/1398729 These exist only as digital images and provide a great new symbol of pride and joy to reflect all that is great about the United States of America. One of my most beautiful creations is at http://www.cafepress.com/bytelandart/5478004 This is Jeweled Cockroach Blattodea luminus The Jeweled Cockroach Blattodea luminus is a bioluminescent cockroach that has both read and green lights and exists only as a digital image. Yet, since creating Blattodea luminus I've heard reports of it having been seen in virgin tropical rains forest! Interesting, to say the least! :-)

Perhaps you have seen bioluminescent dragonflies in Texas. The point is, one can see and create in their own mind anything and you don't need acid, alcohol or hallucinogens to do it. All you need is an imagination. Opening some doors to the mind's potential may be easier given the experience of consciousness altering substances, but it is by no means the only way to stimulate and invigorate the imagination. Certainly skilled artists and craftsmen have been doing this for ages. This is part of what goes into the making of masques, ritualistic dances, decoration of temples with imagined creatures which combine animal and human form and in modern times the creation of whole science fiction and fantasy worlds.

You may enjoy reading Adoration of Arthropods which is an article I wrote at
http://www.byteland.org/naturalist/adoration_of_arthropods.ht The Jeweled Cockroach Blattodea luminus is one of the digital illustrations I created to illustrate this article and to market upon gifts and apparel. What is my next project? Why to make some bioluminescent dragonflies, of course! This might be a digital graphic or it could even be done using Day-glow (Day-glo) paints. In fact, people have painted insects with florescent paints and Day-glow paints as well as pasted tags upon insects to track them. In fact, would be easy to rear millions of flies, spray them with Day-glow paint and release them in a populated area to spark sightings of bioluminescent flies. Also, it is now possible to create bioluminescent species using genetic engineering and this has been done with some species. I think it was even done with a rabbit. So who knows what man made creations may be out there! One of my sci-fi tales even involves what I discovered at Area 51! That is a very amourous tale published under an alias name that I have had to remove from the Internet because of persecution. It may yet see the light of day in book form -- but certainly won't be published in America as it might get me thrown in jail by the censors! :-)

I have been interested in studying insects since a child as well as photography and art. I have created all sorts of fanciful creatures and hope to one day see some of my fanciful creatures in movies (which will earn me millions in royalties) :-) I already have produced illustrations, paintings and photographs of dragonflies. Not too long ago while on a camping trip in Florida a stumbled upon twilight swarms of mayflies and got a series of great photographs with the mayflies swarming all over me. I also got some nice photographs of large dragonflies which had large red mites hitch hiking a ride upon them. I can actually see the same bioluminescent dragonflies you saw inside my mind. So it will be easy to make these into art and bring them to life.

In fact, I June I just did a whole series of dragonfly photographs. Why they would be ideal for using as a model for a bioluminescent species that may be "rumored" to be haunting the fields, forest, lakes and meadows of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Who knows, they might be real or just a fanciful creation. Even my dear brother, Stephen, told me about seeing leaves glow and imagining whole worlds of creatures and beings when he was using magic mushrooms, many of which he would draw in his sketch books. It is not hard for me to understand how using a cocktail of alcohol and marijuana might spark flashbacks, such that mayflies, dragonflies or other creatures might appear bioluminescent or dazzling to one who has done so much LSD in the past.

You see, the mind can play tricks on us and it often does. Why even in courts there are always two different sides to a story. That's what is interesting about the legal process; there never is just one side to the story; there never is an absolute truth. So who is to say if you saw bioluminescent dragonflies or not? That is why I say only if you can repeat the observation, only if you can obtain undoctored photographs, only if you can get it on video that has not been manipulated and only if you can provide specimens will you make a believer out of me. I simply know too well how easy it is to create a hoax or invent a fanciful creature, that although I bring an open and creative mind to every fantastic tale and story I hear, I also bring an analytical and critical mind. I suggest you do the same, and test your own perception of reality vs. fantasy, not only with regard to mystical creatures, but with regard to such matters as the nature of God, religion and spirituality. You see, there simply is no limit to what one may believe is true. And there is no limit to the extremes which are possible, both with respect to creation and mutation.

Just last night I saw a program on NBC about a man in India who was so covered with warts that he was being called the "Tree man." His condition was the result of his body having no immunity to the virus which caused the warts. There have been many, many similar odd cases in the past about people with rare conditions. The extremes to which organisms may be deformed or mutated is just astronomical.

Plus there are hoaxes. It is interesting to study hoaxes and to learn how they were done. There was one fellow who made giant dinosaur feet and walked on the beach to fool people. The newspapers were abuzz with reports. Only many years later did this person come forward and tell everyone how it was done.

I'm sure you have heard about crop circles and the fellows in England who made some of the first ones using a stick and rope. And there have even been cases of people creating alien like creatures using dead animals or combining various animals to make strange creatures used in the circus or other money-making schemes. Hollywood, of course, has figured out the perfect way to make hundreds of millions of dollars using fanciful creatures, puppets, models, robotics and computer generated aliens, bringing them to life at $10.00 to $15.00 or more per pop to view on the silver screen.

The creation of fanciful life forms is now big business. Even stuffed animals and alien toys are big business. I hope to one day be able to market Robo-bugs and other bioluminescent toys. Who cares if bioluminescent cockroaches, scarabs, butterflies, mayflies, dragonflies or spiders really exist or not; you can make a fortune off of them in Hollywood or through a sci-fi story that is then developed into a movie and made into toys! It's already been done with many insects and spiders and it will continue to be done. You are going to be seeing more and more aliens and fanciful creatures in the future simply because there is no limit to the imagination and it is profitable to dream and imagine and peddle one's tales to an awe inspired public that feasts upon wild and whimsical tales. Plus if you throw in a bit of horror in the process, like in The Fly or War of the Worlds, the public gobbles it up even more! Or you can go to the other extreme and create a cute animation or children's story, as Disney often does, and roll in mega bucks that way.

The point is, fantasy is big business. You are missing an opportunity if you do not turn your bioluminescent dragonflies into cash. I am currently working on several tales. One involves a Luminologist who travels the universe collecting specimens from other worlds. That is what some of my fanciful creations of bioluminescent arthropods were made to illustrate. Another is a tale related to alien arachnids. This would be a great movie if I could ever get it produced. One theme I like to repeat in my fanciful tales is that of being the "First Luminologist." But my tales are hardly for children. Most of my stories are for adults as I like to thrown in a bit of amorous adventure.

I cannot tell you how to write or what to do with your blogs. If you want you might like reading one of my blogs (I have a number of them). Cyber Sojourn is about symbolism from different cultures around the world and how I use this in my art. See http://cybersojourn.blogspot.com/

One of my most fanciful creations was the Patriotic Cockroach which I produced after 9/11. I happened to be the first person to use "Remember 9/11" and "We will not forget" on designs which I created that very day. Well, the slogan went viral and the next day people were hanging flags from the Pentagon and pirating my T-shirt designs. Oh sure, there was mass hysteria and everyone was thinking much the same thing so I really can't claim credit for being the "first" ... but I was at the front on the line, so to speak. As for being the creator of Patriotic Cockroaches I do think I was the first in that regard. Someone later started painting live cockroaches and decorating them with jewels and flags; now these are being sold for quite a hefty some. But here again, I can't claim to be the first as even the ancient Egyptians were using insects to make jewelry. It is thus not so important who comes up with an idea, as you can't patent an idea, but you can copyright a story (as blogs are copyrighted) and you can copyright designs (all my original work is copyrighted) -- what is important is what you do with the idea ... how it is developed and marketed. A prime example of that is Mickey Mouse. At the time Walt Disney created his version of Mickey Mouse their were many similar mice designs. But he did the best job of marketing his Mickey Mouse via animation, such that today all the other mice are essentially dead and Mickey Mouse dominates the industry and brings in the mega bucks in terms of animated movies and all sorts of toys and related products. Yet, if you do the research, you will find that Mickey Mouse was not an original idea; there were many, many mice at the time Walt Disney created and named his mouse M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e.

I don't know where you want to go with your writing, Aaron. I've certainly written my share of firefly and other poems using insects and animals. Plus I've read much literature in this regard. Dr. Jame E. Lloyd, in fact, has a pretty comprehensive collection of all firefly literature which he uses to refer to when he writes articles and technical reports. I don't even know if profiting from your writing is of interest. But if it is, I'd recommend adding a bit of romance. How can you spend an evening in a woods with a lovely maiden and not include a telling of the amorous adventure?

I have an e-book book which reviews my life and adventures with many women. It was released on floppy diskette some years ago, before CD's came into being. I'm currently working on a CD of all my collected works which may include this earlier production (but I still have to convert it to HTML) and make it interactive. Plus there is some content I need to edit. Also I am a poet and have literally thousands of poems and songs to my credit. I mention this only to encourage your writing, blogging and vlogging. Just keep writing. Tell your tales. Try to make them as interesting as possible. Yes, there is a line between reality and fiction. I enjoy both but I don't need recreations drugs to stimulate my imagination and I don't recommend these to others, primarily because our culture has no tribal tradition in this regard and has criminalized the usage of many chemical substances instead of adopting a policy which would keep dirty chemical brews and cocktails off the street and would not foster a black market by criminalizing usage of substances. Yet it is also part of big business to give power and control of this to doctors and pharmacists -- this is a multi-billion dollar industry and those who have power and control do not want to give it up.

Just be careful, okay. What you do with your life is really your business and your own call. As I've told many others in many respects, I've been there! I've done that! I know the thrills! I know the ups and the downs! I've ridden my share of roller coasters! I've balled my share of beautiful women! I've been fucked and fucked up! I've been screwed and screwed over! I've even been thrown in jail and had people try to stop me from expressing myself, to censor my free expression and silence me, saying I was insane and even saying they were justified in their fraudulent claims because I did not believe in God and my art was pornographic! Ha! Ha! That's funny! What do non-artists know about ART? Nothing, really! This fraudulent imprisonment and violation of my privacy was in relation to a series I did entitled "President Bush's Purple Penis," where I showed President Bush's purple penis in a series of designs created using computer graphics. It was pure satire and quite funny, really. But some very powerful Republicans and religious fanatics did not like this and wanted to censor me any way they could. What nonsense! So after discovering some of my work on the Internet a plot was made to "destroy my life," which included a few hostile relatives. At any rate, I'm still here, though I did take that work off-line as it was published under an alias and after these people discover the author and tried to have me thrown into a mental institution, I figured it was best to delete that particular work. It was pure fiction, done to satirize President Bush; I mention it here only to give you some insight to the extremes some people will go if you do make enemies in your life and people want to try to silence you. Why I've even received anonymous death threats from some of my published letters and other work on the Internet. So beware, what may seem just a fanciful blog today, can be used as ammunition by any enemies you make in the future.

As for belief in God, I think everyone has a right to their own beliefs; to define God however they wish. I happen to believe that the universe is infinite in nature with no beginning nor end -- that it goes on forever and that the Big Bang is a delusion. This is a theory in direct conflict with all who believe in creation. When I first posted this theory on the Internet is was quite a novel idea. Now there are a number of cosmologists who have elaborated upon the idea. See Lynch Persecuted because of Eternal Universe Theory at http://www.byteland.org/cosmology/index.html

I hope you find these various sites both informative and perhaps stimulating to your own work. Follow your dreams and your passions; it will take you far. But remember, there are those who will see your experimentation with recreational drugs as something bad, as having a bad effect upon your mind and mentality; some may even say it leads to mental illness, delusion, even insanity. Your enemies, and everyone who lives long enough will make a few, can and will use your own reports against you. The more noted and acclaimed one becomes, then the more this is likely to happen. Of course celebrities may to some degree dodge the bullets just because they have so much fame and money -- though I'm not so sure Britney Spears or Paris Hilton have done the best job they could have done in this respect.

So, Aaron, keep up the good work. Oh, and if you get a chance, visit Graceland and the grave site of Elvis Presley and write about this experience and a spiritual bond with the "King," given your names are spelled the same way!

Go Green! Recycle! Conserve! Preserve!


Go Green Recycle Conserve Preserve


Al Gore has been working to educate and inform people regarding global warming. Gore has gotten a great deal of attention, yet his cries have fallen upon many deaf ears. Why is it that so many people just will not listen, will not hear the cries that humanity is slowly destroying our dear Mother Earth?

We each need to wake up to the fact that the world's population is exploding. This increase in the human population is ultimately responsible for global warming. More people means greater demands upon all resources which translates into a need for more energy, the burning of more and more fossil fuels, the pollution of the atmosphere and the environment, the destruction of entire ecosystems, etc., etc., etc.

Yes, it can be depressing to think about such large problems, problems that are so big no one person can solve them alone. Yet together, as a humanity, we can begin working to solve these big problems and to change the destructive course down which we are walking.

In effort to solve the problem of global warming, Go Green Recycle Conserve Preserve has been created. My goal is to raise $500-million over time. This will be used to build an international center to attack all the problems associated with global warming and to employ an army of activist and those human forces and resource that is necessary to win the war on global warming.

Please visit Go Green Recycle Conserve Preserve today! We are asking everyone who is interested in working to help raise awareness and stop global warming, to please help. Support Go Green Recycle Conserve Preserve and together we can work to stop global warming. You can help by purchase of Go Green Recycle Conserve Preserve gifts and apparel. You may also make a donation.

Thank you for your consideration. Please tell others about Go Green Recycle Conserve Preserve that we can save our dear Mother Earth and leave our children and their children with a world they can live in that is free of pollution and those other global stress factors caused by over population of the human race.

Great collection of gifts and apparel

I've been very creative over the last year or so adding many new designs to my gallery of gifts and apparel. Click here to visit Byteland Art Gallery. In fact, I've created so many designs that I've opened a new TopPics Gallery.

I want to invite everyone to visit my galleries where you may shop for gifts and apparel. Also, please comment about my work. In doing so please note that my work often reflects current events or serves as a way to make a simple statement upon products such as t-shirts, jerseys or caps. This WEARABLE ART is a way everyone may participate in the display and expression of ideas. So I hope you enjoy my work.



One of my great delights is to make Christmas gifts. You will find a great collection of new Christmas designs in my gallery. Please watch the above video and visit Santa's Workshop. This will save you time during the holiday season and you can shop for some wonderful gifts and apparel which feature original creations upon WEARABLE ART.

As my friends and fans may know, I am very concerned about the safety of toys. I am a strong advocate for the manufacture of safe toys. If you want to help please watch my No Lead In Toys video.



You can help raise awareness by wearing a No Lead (Pb is the symbol for lead) t-shirt or even putting a sign in your yard. Also, I urge everyone to shop in my galleries where all items are manufactured in the USA and do not contain any lead paint. This is a vital issue as exposure to lead can hurt and harm young children. Many toys that were made in China used lead paint. Even though many of these toys have been recalled, still millions of them remain in homes and nurseries where young children may put them in their mouths. This is a very serious problem and everyone can help raise awareness and keep this in the public's mind by displaying NO LEAD gifts and apparel.

I hope everyone continues to enjoy learning about my work and sharing it with others on gifts and apparel. Thank you for your patronage.
