UPDATE!
Really Miss Washington? Really?
Largest Ellen Line Dance in the History of the World and Toddler Gods!
We can only manipulate the Given to create what isn’t, and without
knowing how to return to the Given, there is no escape in case we
absolutely fuck up humanity. We are toddler gods let loose in a
university lab like it’s the playground at the mall. Scant on parental supervision of the future.”
UPDATE: Largest Ellen DeGeneres Line Dance in the WORLD!
Yesterday I talked to approximately 600 people about the event taking place this coming Saturday at 1:00pm! I want a 100,000, a 1,000,000, I want an entire block covered with people doing the Ellen, holding Ellen’s face! In the process of talkin to everyone I got thrown out of some art show/expose/fundraiser in a back ally for not having a pink bracelet! Ended up shouting at the top of my lungs that I as proud to be black at some African American Heritage event goin on at the square, walked through the OTR fringe festival, and hung w/the NO, NO, NO More venue! It’s amazing what kind of trouble one can get into when they make it a point to get into trouble! Crossin my fingers to keep this up! Largest Ellen DeGeneres Line dance in the history of the world! It’s going to be amazing!
Laugh, Dance, Conquer!
A question of Savagery
“So long as free land exist, the opportunity for competency exists, and economic power secures political power.”
“The frontier is the outer edge of the wave-the meeting point between savagery and civilization.”
In this article she comes across a picture with a moose in it and she questions if an act of preservation is occurring. For in the picture a man from a canoe is about to shoot it. She comes across a picture entitled “His First Lesson”, in which a horse is being tormented by some men. She can not decide what the lesson is in. To obey?, to behave?, stand still?, etc? Yet all of the subjects she mentions involve the control of life. The manipulation of movement. While in the museum she also observes the countless trophies of elk, buffalo, moose, etc. These animals all haunted by people who admired them and respected them. What are museums keeping safe for us, after all (593) Is this the Best of Civilization? This concept to control and overpower? To demonstrate warped views of rights? From this article one comes to a conclusion, people fear their existence. A point developed by Tompkins is that a museums purpose is to act as a safety deposits box. To allow the world to know we were here; it is through this idea that we find ways to express this. As pointed out the museum was all bone and claw. Is it the act of a civilized nation to focus on control?
The day has just begun!
So today I found out that one of my videos was vetted by CNN, making me an official CNN ireport superstar! I then attended my great aunts funeral. It was a different experience, “Amen, praise the Lord, hallelujah!” It was one of those things that you had to be there to witness to truly get. It made me giggle. Not to come off as creepy or weird for laughing at a funeral, but my great aunt was an amazing women. Outside of being hands down one of the greatest bakers of all time, she probably smoked two packs a day and could drink more than her fair share of whiskey. Considering that she was 88, I think we can agree she fought the good fight! Even in death she looked more intimidating than most the gangsters I’ve come across!

Reflections on the Day!
While out and about conquering the Midwest for Ellen DeGeneres I often come across people who love Ellen, but are afraid to dance! People say they can’t dance, that they are to embarrassed, that they are afraid. This idea bothers me! We shouldn’t be afraid to dance! We shouldn’t be afraid to mingle, to talk, to shake it. We shouldn’t fear accusations from other people who are not dancing. We shouldn’t be intimidated by people who are better dancers. In the end the best dancers in the world at one point were people learning how to two step! If your going to get advice on how to do something, take it from somebody who knows more than you. If your afraid to risk looking like a fool, you don’t deserve the awards that come from being a fool! If you fear the repercussions of how others will perceive the way you dance, then you’re never really dancing for yourself. If you don’t make it a point to dance for yourself, then who are you dancing for? Why even dance at all? If you don’t like dancing, that’s cool too, but for someone to admit disliking fun, that is crime against yourself!
SMIBBIT “muah, muah, muah baby doll!”
I’ve spent the past few days doin my grind! Oh I feel so ghetto, but at least I keeps it real! Been walkin up and down the streets dancin with people! Funny how many people go, “That is how Ellen DeGeneres dances!” I’m like, “I know, hence Do the Ellen!” It’s tiring work being the self proclaimed Midwest general, but someones got to do it! I don’t even know if you can count it as work. Every mile I’ve spent each day walkin the streets, dancin, laughing, and huggin people has been energizing! I can feel the potential bundling up from every activity, just waiting for kinetic energy to knock it loose! Due to my buddies ghost on a stick video I’ve energized my thought process a trillion times over. It’s weird how the smallest occurrences can set off huge chain reactions. Considering I live in a world that could be blown away in a literal sense by a very similar mechanism, you’d think this wouldn’t come to me as a surprise!
