Aheart, Ahead Plan

by David LaPlantz ·

Plan ahead, aheart ahead. Take a look at your calendar, there is still time sisters and brothers. Plan ahead for aheart, lest you blow the big red, valentine day. Forget the candy, do something very personal, unique and giving on the valentine, big red day. Show your passion and love in some genuine, smiling approach, be daring, different and demonstrative…….

Lower The Bar/Raise The Bar

by David LaPlantz ·

There is always rectoric about raising the bar for education or whatever cause the politicians’ think will fool the citizens once again. After thinking about the “limbo” dance and the limbo bar that plays an important elimination role, has anyone noticed that the “limbo bar” seems to get lower and lower every year with more and deeper political scandals?

I can’t quite understand, with the limbo bar going lower and lower, why don’t those criminals with money (read politicians) never get what they deserve (read jail time) but rather get fatter wallets? “Limbo lower now, how low can you go?”

Stop the politicians “limbo” dance and raise the bar on honesty, integrity and demand a clear and visable conscience effort to work for the citizens rather than the black curtain, puppet masters. Pull the strings out of their blood soaked, greedy hands!

Forward, Limbo, Backward

by David LaPlantz ·

Going or coming? Great question and always difficult to answer. Just when we think we are getting somewhere, we realize that we are, in reality, going backwards. Backwards, however is not necessarily a negative direction to travel. Unless we are living in the past, fearful of the future or simply scared to death, moving in some direction is far better than stuck in limbo. “How low can you go? Lower the limbo bar, please.”

“Dreams — Simply, Clouds in Your Coffee?”

by David LaPlantz ·

“I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and” —  these fabulous Carly Simon lyrics say it all.

What about your dreams? Do you work to turn your dreams into reality or simply see them as “clouds in your coffee?”

A dream is a wake-up call to become reality. That is, if you want that your dreams to become your reality. Take a giant step, make your dreams happen. Believe…….

Radiation

by David LaPlantz ·

Radiating out from the red flag, the elected officials failed to notice, but the citizens saw it, reacted appropriately and corrected the situation.The citizens’ conclusion/solution fabricated a superior quality of life. The people created real equal rights — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness finally became ‘real for the people.’       Imagine? Inspiring?

Never, See Now as Seen Then, Never!

by David LaPlantz ·

Looking back, it all seemed so easy. Or, was it that he had so little experience to compare what was happening to what he knew about life? He wishes he could see now as he saw then, but alas life does not work that way. As was stated earlier, “Life is like a beanstalk.”

Flash From England, Knew/Knows – A New Middle Name

by David LaPlantz ·

I’ve been thinking about Tony Blair, from now on known as Tony (Knew, Knows) Blair. There is what he knew and knows about George Bush, Iraq, WMMS, truths, non-truths, being honest and blood on one’s hands. Watch for future “Brooch the Subject” art brooches related to Tony Knew,Knows Blair. Why can’t politicians ever admit to what is true or are they all guilty of true lies? Ya know, the ‘nu-nose’ know, knew, Ya know?

An Oldie, “To Where?” Brooch

by David LaPlantz ·

Okay, it’s Monday and what’s on the creative horizon? “Where To” today? Gotta sit down at my bench and reach into the dark leather pouch that contains the images for today. What to choose, if any? Haffta be confident, take a deep breath and go for it…….       Suite Judy – what have got (blue) to lose?
