For Entertainment Purposes Only (Perhaps)...

This is the scoop...I am a loner, and that's a "No...No"...You either have to go with the Jews, the Italians, the Jehovah Witnesses, etc. etc. etc...When I "won" my wrongful termination from Merit Financial, I received an email from the Santa Monica Church where I had stupidly sold tickets for their lack luster "Fish Fry", where the sistahs had set up their Mary Kaye Products to sell...These were religious individuals supposedly who didn't mind selling in one of God's houses...Interestingly enough this was the same Church in Santa Monica where I saw, an Oprah Winfrey Look a like weeks before...Who told me that the minister was not available...Soon after I got several notices to subscribe for three more year in "O" Oprah's magazine...Interesting since as LA Magazine had offered me the opportunity after subscribing with them that they would send free subscriptions to two friends of mine, which I provided to LA Weekly.  A similar offer was made with O, and that's when all hell broke loose...Keep in mind that advertisers rely heavily on the advertisements, and I contend that the Oprah Look alike or perhaps Oprah herself (anything is possible) devised this scheme to get something from the 7oK I received from my ex employer who made over 8 million from me and did not pay me a salary or my profit sharing as they should.  I learned after the settlement from the written transcripts that I should have been receiving an hourly wage as well...The fact that I am 71 and I believe I know Oprah Winfrey as Sabra Jackson, adopted daughter of the supposedly late Rev Ulysses Jackson and Inez Matthews. the family that had adopted my mother(?) years ago, and had according to my mother had stolen her inheritance...I was a slave since the age I had started working after school and on Saturdays at HL Green and Yonkers, NY, and I also took care of my mother who had heart trouble was morbidly obese and incontinent. During my blacklisting from the entertainment industry where I was the female lead in SHAFT. arguably the best of the shaft series that got MGM studios out of the red and into the blackm also did the live soap opera for ABC, THE BEST OF EVERYTHING, but someone thought I guess that I did not deserve the best of everything and was fired after 6 mos though I was paid for the term of the contract, I also appeared at the Cherry Lane Theatre in the Immaculate Misconception and Sam Coleman in Show Business Magazine said "I had perfect comic timing"...I screentested for Shaft in Los Angeles which was my first trip out here...to CALI (more to follow)

After yesterday (1.22) I guess I'll cool my heels a bit and speak about my screenplay, titled, "When the Devil Plays" an action adventure that takes place in West Africa...Fast paced, good dialogue if I have to say so myself, if I don't, who will, right?  Denoument has a twist...Lots of cultures presented and a strong male and female protag...Can't wait to see how it goes...And it's got a twist, which is always fun...Not feeling my Cheerios today, prepping for a move, and I trust that everyone's day is going well...God, I sound really lame, I'll make up for it...no apologies, just a self observation...G'day...Much Love. Bye for now!

Internet Friend or Foe, or a little of both perhaps...I had a revealing conversation with a song writer who feel the same as I regarding how the internet is possibly eroding our autonomy, though I'm sure it has its good points when it's done to the benefit of the majority rather than the dominating powers, the ghouls...Who know little about creativity yet are experts in stealing the works of artists all over the world...Every time I pass a Pawn Shop and see all the musical instruments that had to be given up in order for a musician to perhaps pay the rent or just feed himself and his family I cringe, because if the internet is sustained along the same path it will worsen...For example I was working on a novel, on my Air Mac, nice laptop very light, but half of my novel was extrapolated, and I have no idea where it went...I know I'm not the only one that this has happened to, your intellectual properties are yours, they are gifts that come directly from the creator and bestowed upon the artist, and NO ONE, HAS THE RIGHT TO SWINDLE YOU OUT OF THIS GIFT... THINK ABOUT THE ENTITIES RUNNING THE STUDIOS DO YOU THINK THEY ARE WILLING TO HIRE WRITERS, ACTORS AND ACTRESSES NOW ARE EXPECTED TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN DIALOGUE RATHER THAN THE GHOULS PAYING WRITERS...I SAW A YOUNG WOMAN SITTING ACROSS FROM ME AT THE RESTAURANT AND SHE WAS READING "INVISIBLE MAN' WRITTEN MY ELLISON, A BLACK WRITER WHO LEFT AMERICA AND WENT TO FRANCE, ON THIS YOUNG WOMAN'S VERSIAN THE AUTHOR WAS HG WELLS, WHO WROTE "WAR OF THE WORLDS", SO THEY ARE ALREADY CHANGING AUTHORS AND MORE, AND THE REASONS ARE OBVIOUS, AMONGST THOSE REASONS ARE ROYALTIES...THEY CAN DO THIS WITH ANYTHING...EVEN WITH CREDITS IN MOVIES, SO THAT RESIDUALS CAN GO NOT TO THE DESERVING BUT FOR WHO THEY CHOOSE... ANOTHER EXAMPLE,,,I PUT MY IMAGE ON IMBD PRO FOR A YEAR, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS, MY IMAGE DISAPPEARED AND THE IMAGES THHAT REMAINED WAS OF A BLOND FEMALE, AND MY IMAGE WAS NO LONGER VISIBLE...IT'S THE GHOULS WAY OF "KILLING ME OFF" SO TO SPEAK, AND BY THE WAY SOME METAPHORES ARE JUST THAT METAPHORES, AND NOTHING MORE... BACK TO INTERNET HARRASSMENT, HOW MANY BOOK STORES HAVE GONE UNDER, LIBRARIES ARE UNDER SEIGE AS WELL, I REMEMBER SOMEONE TELLING ME THAT LIBRARIES IN TEXAS HAS VIRTUALLY NO BOOKS IN THEM...AGAIN, THIS IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DUMBING DOWN AMERICA, AND THIS IS REAL FOLKS... AGAIN, THAT'S WHY MY GLOBILIZATION (YES I'M A TERRIBLE SPELLER, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT MY REASONING IS NOT SOUND, OR WHAT I'M SAYING IS NOT VALID)...ALL FREE THINKERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, FAMILIES, WE ALL ARE UNDER SEIGE BY THESE CONGLOMORATES...DO NOT SEND ANY IDEAS BY FAX, I DID THAT WITH MY CHILDREN'S LAB TO A STUDIO WHO WILL FOR THE TIME BEING REMAIN NAMELESS, AND EVEN THOUGH I PLACED THE EXECUTIVE'S NAME ON THE COVER SHEET, I STILL WONDER WHO RECEIVED IT, IT WAS THE SAME STUDIO BY THE WAY WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR AFLAC THAT I TOOK MY THEN MANAGER, MATTHEW SPAULDING TO MEET WITH KEN KARS, REGARDING BRINGING AFLACK INTO NBC UNIVERSAL, I WAS THE CONTACT PERSON THAT DID THAT, AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT I AM NOT GETTING CREDIT FOR DOING THAT OR ANY OTHER ACCOUNTS OF MINE...AFLAC NEVER PRESENTED ME WITH THE BREAKDOWN OF THE ALLEGED $1500 THAT I EARNED, YET NEVER RECEIVED, RATHER I GOT NOTICE OF MY ONE SHARE OF AFLAC... INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR SCAMMING INDIVIDUALS, I MENTIONED IN AN EARLIER BLOG HOW AFLAC ALLOWS HUSBANDS TO PUT THEIR GIRLFRIENDS AS BENEFICIARIES, WITHOUT THE HUSBAND HAVING TO MENTION THIS TO HIS SPOUSE. HAVING BEEN A REGISTERED REP,WE HAD TO ALWAYS TELL THE SPOUSE IF THEY WANTED TO NAME SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE WIFE, THEY MUST SIGN A FORM, AND GET THE SPOUSE'S SIG...AFLAC DOESN'T DO THIS, AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T WHEN I WAS WORKING THERE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. ANYWAY, I HOPE EVERY ONE HAD A GOOD MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, AND I'VE GOT LOTS TO DO TODAY, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT OFF WRITING ON MY BLOG FOR ANOTHER DAY, THANK YOU.
