streaming geiger counter: los angeles

Here is something for my west coast readers. Because you cannot trust the main stream media I have found this site to let you monitor the radiation from japan that is traveling to the USA via the Jet Stream.

Information is the key to wisdom.

My Day

Today I was invited to an FBI event at the Peninsula hotel in NYC. I was  torn because I have deadlines up to my eyeballs but one of those deadlines is a screenplay based on a book by the man in the center, Paul. I dont want to give out his full name as I didnt ask permission but he is a famous DEA agent from boston (retired) On the left is my buddy "Chip" (retired special forces) I'm the long-haired freak on the right. I was sailing in a sea of FEDS but it was a good time and everyone was pretty nice (even to the long haired artist)I try to judge people as I would want to be judged---are you a  decent person? I dont care if you are right/ left cop/ artist or purple alien. I dont give myself up easily but If I like/ trust there is nothing I wont do for a person..If someone screws me (as friends have) I dont get mad, I erase your number and send your emails to spam as quick as if I changed a TV channel. I dont waste my time on bad people. In my mind I am looking pretty worn and tired, maybe because  I have pretty much worked  seven days a week for an entire winter. I am coming close to wrapping my major projects and will take a break in april.

Transparency

A lot of people are complaining that Obama promised a transparent gov. (five days to review bills online etc etc.) and that he hasnt kept his promise in regards to this on any level. I dont know why people are upset and complaining, I can see right through the guy.

my life is strange

Today I have an FBI luncheon,  I never thought I would exactly say those words together. My screenplay is based off an agents book and I am meeting with him to go over some points. This screenplay is growing some legs and there is a certain energy behind it that art requires not to stagnate. I am more likely the kind of guy to drink scotch with hunter s thompson (which I have done) than to sit with FBI agents but My life has never made any sense nor will it ever add up. It has been many things but boring was never one of them. This isnt just a burger with an agent, it is an official FBI gathering at a top hotel. I have a feeling I will have the longest hair in the room... I always felt like my life was guided by a strange hand, a hand that pushed me along through life..Sometimes the hand was cruel and other times it was godlike. This hand pushes me into very strange and interesting places. I didnt create the context of creating this screenplay, I was asked to do it. I would not have started it as I have too many projects on plate but the energy was right. If you dont understand energy, you shouldnt be an artist...art requires energy and that energy can turn on you..you have to know how to not get gored by your own bull.

winning?

Thank god I can release my stress through art. I dont know what I would do if I didnt have that release valve. I would probably be on blood pressure meds.

Our prez picks his NCAA brackets while Japan implodes

 Between our last two presidents I have an eye so jaundiced towards politics that If I didnt find humor in terrible places I would probably have to take xanax or whatever people take to calm down. Ya just think someone might have whispered in the commander in chief's  ear "pssst...Meester president---Japan, eeets imploding, people are dying fro mradiation...maybe eeets not the best time for the baskeeeetballl picks..." Or should I have said "tin ear"

Full Meltdown in Japan

I firmly believe that all these reactors in japan are going into full meltdown. My friend who called me a panic machine and insensitive has not contacted me since I first brought this up because I am right ---This is the first time I wish I wasnt right that I can remember. Whatever the Japanese gov. says you should multiply by  about 20X (given their history) It is so much worse than they are letting on. There is already rumors of radiation in Alaska. Being right or wrong means very little at this stage of the game but idiocy is one thing that will kill you fast in times like these. Fukushima 3 blew spent Plutonium fuel rods into the air. This is as bad as it gets. This isnt a false alarm, this isnt fearmongering and this isnt a panic machine. This is for real. I have a gut feeling tokyo may even be permanently evacuated. Every night I study this for two or three hours and getting through the spin is tough but I guarantee you are getting a sliver of the real story as too how bad it really is. There are people right now fully irradiated past the point of return fighting a last ditch hail mary to stop the fuel rods from melting down. I talk to people and they really are brain dead as to how dangerous this is..The jet stream could easily drag this here in 6 days..I would buy Potassium Iodide to protect your thyroid.
