INDIAN WELLS ART SHOW<br />

This was a well organized show, managed<br />

by Sprectrum, at the Renaissance Indian<br />

Wells Resort. It featured a sculpture garden<br />

outside of the main lobby and a large<br />

gallery exhibit area inside in THconvention<br />

meeting room area directly off of the lobby.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were over 40 galleries from across the<br />

country featuring hundreds of artists.<br />

<strong>The</strong> primary attraction of this show was the<br />

ability <strong>to</strong> meet, talk with, and watch artists<br />

creating works during the show.<br />

Another artist visited was Francesca Saveri.<br />

She was demonstrating an encaustic<br />

<strong>The</strong> exhibits were of a wide variety of varied<br />

contemporary art. One of the first booths painting technique using bees wax, resin<br />

we came upon was the Brian Rock Gallery.<br />

Brian Rock was the artist and gallery and applied on a wood panel in a variety of<br />

of the canvas. Mr. Rock started <strong>to</strong> explain last one <strong>to</strong> include in this article is included<br />

the work as we s<strong>to</strong>od looking at it. He said because of the unusual<br />

he was a recovering PSTD veteran of the attraction <strong>to</strong> a small framed piece about<br />

Bosnian War, that the displayed work was 18 x 18 inches on a wall in the booth. <strong>The</strong><br />

his method of therapy recovering from the frame was white as was the background<br />

trauma. <strong>The</strong> canvas he was working on represented<br />

the horrors of war faced by chilpeared<br />

<strong>to</strong> be a small black square about 2<br />

around inside, in the middle, what apdren.<br />

In the shrapnel on the canvas were inches square with a flame burning above<br />

several shell casings, pieces of cloth from it. This is a piece created by Constance<br />

barbed wire. Other pieces of art included<br />

several paintings with large explosion like<br />

color splashes. One bronzed sculptural<br />

piece on a table was of a human head<br />

ringed in barbed wire and surrounded by<br />

pharmacy pill bottles. He explained that<br />

these bottles were of actual prescriptions<br />

he was given that were <strong>to</strong> help with the<br />

psychological and physical trauma he had<br />

experienced. <strong>The</strong>se had not been effective,<br />

but his depiction of his feeling portrayed in<br />

the art work had helped him <strong>to</strong> conquer the<br />

future article.

head <strong>to</strong> the voting booths this June 5. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

Tom Swann and Guillermo Hernandezn Wedding!<br />

Congratulations from the DDG!<br />

Even a marriage inside a federal immigration center did not dampen spirits of this<br />

happy couple. But <strong>for</strong> the United States, it wsas the first same-sex marriage of someone<br />

in detention awaiting a deportation hearing.<br />

But Swann makes his<strong>to</strong>ry all the time! For veterans, and the LGBT community. “This<br />

is the happiest day of my life,” said Swann, 58, shortly after he wed Hernandez. “Happier<br />

than the day I graduated boot camp in the Marine Corps.” Mr. Swann’s military<br />

case was instrumental in securing protection against sexual orientation discrimination<br />

<strong>for</strong> lesbian and gay civilian employees of the Armed Services. “Tom Swann’s book<br />

is a how <strong>to</strong> succeed handbook, a standard operating procedure <strong>for</strong> gay activists taking<br />

on the conservative establishment, whether it is in government or the private sec<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

Served on the national AMVETS Diversity Committee, Tom founded Riverside County<br />

Veterans <strong>for</strong> Peace and spoke at Camp Casey (Craw<strong>for</strong>d, Texas) with Cindy Sheehan.<br />

Dedicated the peace pole outside Cathedral City Library and at Desert Mirage<br />

High School, Swann is founding chair of the only certified Democratic Party veterans’<br />

caucus in America. Personally met every American President since Richard Nixon.<br />

THAT IS FUNNY FUCKING<br />

• How do you make holy water? You boil the hell out of it.<br />

• How do you hide a dead body? You hide it on page 2 of Google.<br />

• Never argue with a fool, they will lower you <strong>to</strong> their level, and<br />

then beat you with experience.<br />

• What do you call a sleepwalking nun? A roamin’ Catholic.<br />

• What do you call a masturbating cow? Beef stroganoff.<br />

• Why did the walrus go <strong>to</strong> the Tupperware party? He was looking <strong>for</strong><br />

a tight seal.<br />

• A mushroom walks in<strong>to</strong> a bar. <strong>The</strong> bartender says, “Hey, get out of<br />

here! We don’t serve mushrooms here”. Mushroom says,<br />

“why not? I’m a fungi!”<br />

WEEKLY GUIDE TO THE STARS<br />

ARIES: <strong>March</strong> <strong>21</strong> - April 20<br />

It’s merely coincidence that your<br />

<strong>to</strong>rtilla has the image of Abe<br />

Vigoda burned in<strong>to</strong> it.<br />

TAURUS: April <strong>21</strong> - May 19<br />

Notice that lingering bad smell<br />

around the house? It’s just grandma<br />

deteriorating underneath the<br />

floorboards. It’ll go away.<br />

GEMINI: May 20 - June <strong>21</strong><br />

Teach a man <strong>to</strong> fish, and he’ll<br />

probably catch fish. That’s how<br />

that saying goes, right?<br />

CANCER: June 22 - July 22<br />

When life gives you lemons,<br />

punch it in the s<strong>to</strong>mach and berate<br />

it about how it <strong>to</strong>tally knew<br />

you have an allergic reaction <strong>to</strong><br />

lemons and it’s just being plain<br />

mean.<br />

LEO: July <strong>23</strong> - August 22<br />

Shop ’til you drop! No...literally<br />

don’t s<strong>to</strong>p. If you do, that bomb<br />

strapped <strong>to</strong> your chest will go off.<br />

VIRGO: August <strong>23</strong> - Sept. 22<br />

<strong>The</strong> silver lining that you found<br />

in your jacket is worth a whole<br />

lotta money. So rip in<strong>to</strong> it now!<br />

LIBRA: Sept. <strong>23</strong> - Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 22<br />

<strong>The</strong> person that you think is the<br />

person that you think they are is<br />

not the person that is the person<br />

that you think that they think<br />

they are.<br />

SCORPIO: Oc<strong>to</strong>ber <strong>23</strong> - Nov. <strong>21</strong><br />

In lieu of grandstanding all the<br />

time, maybe you should take a<br />

step back and think about the<br />

things that you say, because<br />

they’re not as smart as you think.<br />

SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22 - Dec. 20<br />

When you come <strong>to</strong> a <strong>for</strong>k in the<br />

road, go right. Always go right.<br />

Even if it’s the wrong way.<br />

CAPRICORN: Dec. <strong>21</strong> - Jan. 19<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a light at the end of the<br />

tunnel, because there’s a light at<br />

the end of every tunnel.<br />

AQUARIUS: Jan 20 - Feb. 18<br />

Meeting your heroes can always<br />

end up disappointing. But don’t<br />

be surprised if your hero runs<br />

away because you were shrieking.<br />

PISCES: Feb 19 - <strong>March</strong> 20<br />

Is there someone you’re secretly<br />

crushing on that you’re afraid <strong>to</strong><br />

say anything <strong>to</strong>? Grow a pair and<br />

go up and talk <strong>to</strong> them. You’re<br />

not in high school anymore, <strong>for</strong><br />

chrissake.<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by Jersey Shore<br />

Well, it’s time <strong>for</strong> the next step <strong>for</strong><br />

Miss Jersey. Time <strong>to</strong> take the next<br />

step in this characters creation.<br />

Sometimes we feel complacent in<br />

our lives or routines. We get used <strong>to</strong><br />

doing this a certain way just <strong>to</strong> get<br />

by and you <strong>for</strong>get <strong>to</strong> give it that extra<br />

oomph and turn in<strong>to</strong> second or third<br />

gear. I’ll be going back in<strong>to</strong> third<br />

gear I think. <strong>The</strong> clutch got stuck, as<br />

it does in life. It’s a good thing. All<br />

you have <strong>to</strong> do is shift and work your<br />

way up that hill and through the<br />

obstacles.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are only obstacles. <strong>The</strong>y aren’t<br />

a concrete entity. Obstacles CAN be<br />

moved and driven through. You just<br />

have <strong>to</strong> move it and give it a push. It<br />

will move and you will advance <strong>to</strong><br />

the next path in life.<br />

Road blocks are learning curves in<br />

the road of life. You need them <strong>to</strong><br />

learn and move <strong>for</strong>ward. Drive past<br />

and read the signs. Take heed in what<br />

they say or just take the consequences.<br />

You will learn a lesson no matter<br />

what path you take, it’s just a matter<br />

of making the journey an easy one<br />

with less hassles or calls <strong>to</strong> AAA.<br />

So, I’m jumping on the highway of<br />

life and looking <strong>for</strong> my new exit plan.<br />

I will have billboards up showcasing<br />

where I will be so, even if I get stuck<br />

in traffic, life’s GPS will <strong>guide</strong> me <strong>to</strong><br />

some kind of paradise. My GPS has a<br />

plan <strong>for</strong> me, even if it’s only pulling<br />

over <strong>to</strong> the side of the road; I know<br />

that every road leads <strong>to</strong>wards you.<br />

Peace, Love, and Life’s GPS,<br />

Jersey<br />

Jersey can be seen per<strong>for</strong>ming:<br />
