Welcome Back my Friends

To the show that never ends...

Astăzi căutam deci pe cineva, și am dat peste coperta unei cărți reprezentând ceva care amintea de coloana lui Brâncuși, dar din lemn. (Apropo ați știut că acea coloană este formată de fapt din 32 de piramide puse cu bazele mari față în față, au existat modele mai vechi făcute de Brâncuși din lemn, etc.)

Am scris acum câteva zile o postare de blog despre didgeridoo, și am amintit pe fb lângă postare cred de bădița Mihai Lăcătâș, etc.. Într-o duminică, în jur de 1972, în Câmpulung, "Profesorul de cineclub", Ferdinand Michitovici, de la Casa Pionierilor (Contabil la FCL, Fabrica de Conserve Lactate "Lapte Praf Rarăul", fotoreporter la ziarul Zori Noi din Suceava), a venit, după ce mama la cererea lui m-a îmbrăcat în "costum național" local, cu boandă din blană de dihori, împrumutat de undeva din vecini și m-a dus "la o filmare" cum spunea el, pe un deal de prin zona Izvorul Alb, nu departe de casa lui bădița, care avea o tutungerie în centru (nu știu, era gestiontar, ceva) unde lucra fiică-sa, și făcea tulnice din lemn ca hobby (nu știu, nu am mai văzut niciodată în zonă, am văzut doar din metal la înmormântări). Dar dacă așa spunea profesorul Michitovici, așa trebuie să fi fost. Filmarea aia care includea găsirea și tăierea unui brad "de rezonanță" a devenit un filmuleț color gen documentar-artistic pe 16 mm (care era destul de profesional pe vremea aia) de vreo 5 minute probabil, care vroia să arate "transmiterea meseriei" sau a artei whatever dintr-o generație în alta. Totul fake. M-am întâlnit ani de zile după cu domnul Michitovici și mi-a spus că filmul a ajuns la un festival în Australia. Australia? Am întrebat eu mirat. Poate Austria? Nu, Australia a insistat el. Nu știu în ce an a fost făcută poza asta.

Până acum câțiva ani, poate vreo zece, nu știam cum arată Polanski. Dar când l-am văzut prima dată, am zis că trebuie să fi fost el, adică semăna foarte bine. Michitovici a locuit într-o vilă în Câmpulung împreună cu soția, care la rândul ei semăna cu Sharon Tate și a fost învățătoare la o altă clasă la școala Nr.1 unde director a fost un tip Teodor Darie, proful de istorie, care și el semăna cu actorul acela din filmul Sissi, în timp ce nevasta lui semăna chiar cu Romy Schneider. (Bine, diriginta și profa de mate și desen era Elisabeth Taylor, care în perioada aceea, 72-74 "a stat prin Italia"). El (Michitovici) a avut o fiică ce s-a mutat în Constanța care a avut un fiu care a dispărut într-un accident de avion în Florida, la o zi după ce cred că l-am văzut ultima oară în Lake Oswego unde cred că locuia în aceeași clădire cu mine împreună cu o tipă care semăna cu cântăreața aia de blues am uitat cum o cheamă, e singura de fapt de vârsta ei. Samantha Fox.

În Lake Oswego m-am întâlnit de mai multe ori cu un tip cu o cameră cu un obiectiv foarte scump, pe care o ținea pe burtă (stilul lui Michitovici), jos în parc lângă furnal, și chiar am vorbit de câteva ori cu el. Parcă mi-a bătut apropo-ul că ar trebui să mă mut de acolo. Dar eu habar nu aveam ce era cu mine, eram high tot timpul de la fumul ce venea din pereți și de la paraziți de pisică. Totul a fost ca un vis în ceață care s-a transformat treptat într-un coșmar.

Deci văzând coloana de mai sus am avut un impuls de curiozitate și am căutat pe numele autorului (autoarei) și am dat de o față care semăna cu a lui. Bădița.

Un sculptor în lemn maghiar din România care semăna cu el. Dar el este născut în 1937 (dacă asta este identitatea lui reală). Bădița Mihai Lăcătâș era cred cel puțin cu zece ani mai în vârstă.

În orice caz toată faza m-a dus la descoperirea unor poze de-ale lui Michitovici pe care nu le știam. Nu știu de unde a învățat el fotografie în Câmpulung (de fapt povestea spunea că era din familie de refugiați din Polonia) dar acum pot să spun că se descurca destul de bine. La compoziție nu l-am ajuns cred. Bine, trebuie să ai și o anume personalitate dar și autoritate, pentru a conduce scena. Cu fotografia color era foarte dificil pe vremea aceea. Trebuia să trimiți filmul la București. Filmele color pe 16 mm se developau totuși în laborator la Casa Pionierilor, pe întuneric beznă, timp de vreo 2 ore și includeau multe faze, din care una transferul de pe partea negativă pe cea pozitivă a aceluiași film (solarizarea).

666 LJQ

At noon (3 EST) i left the apartment. Went through the back and saw the bulges under the bedroom's window. That explains the market going up until i left. They did it so many times before. But haven't seen it under that window in a year or so so i didn't check. It' hard to realize either when you wake up in smoke. With smoke showing on AQI website 3 miles from here. That's where the high was coming, especially on vibrations. Tricks, tricks, tricks. People like it though cause it's their retirement money caught in the market. My advice? Pull them out. Invest in gold.
Woke at 8:30 (11:30 EST)
Took a picture when i left too, however it didn't catch much, i went and took another one right now. What is not seen. The whole soil line meeting basement under window (between the two metal guards) was a "ridge" that is like a ditch. I pressed my foot all along. When i came back i met with the same Asian guy whom i think used to be part of Tualatin Police i met when i went outside the first time, contributing to making me nervous and not check under that window.

So i left on the upper alley, and when i got at the mailboxes, i saw this guy in a low modified suspension silver car making much noise with his trunk speakers. I turned my head and looked behind only to see this pickup coming real fast which i saw earlier in the alley, when i noticed the LPN. 666 LJQ. I saw the driver too, a tall dry guy with moustache, moving fast. Would he had ran me over? I don't know, could have. But i was too absent to get a "real feel" of the whole sequence. It took me some time until i decided to pull the phone and take a picture, almost lost him. But no readable LPN.
Right now trying to air however more smoke is coming from other places outside.

So i went again on my 2.9 miles route. They were these guys at the corner between 65th and Borland. One of them was blowing a blower again tuned on A1, though he wasn't blowing nothing on the wet sidewalk. On Borland, much annoying traffic with guys seem like dreaming at the wheel. All kinda symbolism, i didn't catch it, wasn't sober enough. Felt tired (6 hours of sleep, smoke). Hard to walk.

The interesting part comes when i got back. In the first point marked on the map i first heard a turboprop plane. Nothing unusual (ok, a bit unusual since they always show at that point, annoying me).

But  then i thought i heard, covered by the first sound, the sound of a fighter jet. Then another. Sirens went off. Apocalyptic sounds. I went on the right sidewalk just before the kindergarten. Though kids were not present today, only 3 cars in the lot. Where the last point shown is, where a chain closes that RV camping area, i saw a Tualatin Police SUV coming towards me, signaling left. I could have passed but stopped cause i was curious to see what it was doing and to see the cop's face. However, he extended his hand  under the tinted windshield, where i could see it and made that gesture Bruce Lee was making in movies. Come to me! So i passed, he went on the blocked alley, did a 360 degrees turn (3x6) and went forwards on kindergarten's alley, on the other side of the road. However he did not went there and i got to see him, as i continued my walk on Nyberg, from 7-11 crosswalk. He went around that building that is a transformer or something and then inside. Muscular, Latino, bearded. Could had been a homeless in there?

As i said before. They don't do much. They just sync events. So it only appears they do a lot. (Boomerangs and throw stick always hit from a distance, on a meeting point, our human nature can't figure where the hit is coming from). But in the case of an of inquiry, nothing can be traced to them.

Many other things happened on my trip, it's an ongoing script filled to the max, it's just too much for me to remember and write it, with the smoke and everything.

Ok a last one. In one of the recycle bin somebody put an empty beer case with the word STONE on it. Vertically, keeping the lid on, so it would be visible. In the mail, an Ilani add and an envelope with a sounding jar of vitamins or supplements ordered by Angela online.
Went outside and crushed a few more bulges. They switched from chemical to bio, with the laundry.

On a Planet Long Time Ago

They say indigenous Australian are the oldest population on Earth. It puzzles me a bit as i am a little drunk right now. If they came out of Africa it means they can't be older than Africans, right?

Separated, yes. A separated population that survived a few ice ages on that continent. How many in 70k years? I once stated that ice ages might be alternating north south and right now we're right in the middle of a cycle.

Could, a very special position on Earth's geography allow the passage through ice ages in better conditions than the rest. Allowing preserving the common knowledge known as culture. Giving them a smaller advantage over the others. Could it be the place from where it sprung the very civilization we know of today.

That instrument, can't pronounce its name. Didgeridoo. They say humans became humans the moment they started using tools. There are other species that use tools. Crows use tools and they have a tiny brain. Eucalyptus trees and termites. That's what made the hollow tubes that one of them one day started to blow into and discovered a different type of tool. That can be used to communicate over long distances. That can possibly influence others by the weird means of seismic communication. "There are sacred and even secret versions of the didgeridoo in Aboriginal communities in parts of Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, and the surrounding areas. These sorts of instruments have specific names and functions and some of these are played like typical didgeridoos, whereas others are not. Due to their secluded nature, little is known about them."It is said the name it's not aboriginal. However i found a place, Mornington Island where at least one tribe called it Djibolu. In another place, ebroo.

First thing that came to mind was.
A much more recent migration, back to Africa of a tribe that knew how to sail and a lot more? After eventualy they figured that a big more advanced "didgeridoo" can do more than acoustically communicate at a distance?
Today for the first time i realized the frequency of a leaf blower is  55 Hz. There are 11 million leaf blowers in the US. I was listening today the landscape guys and compared the sound with a tone generator. 54 to 56, precisely. Corresponding to A1 note in music. I always thought they have a throttle somewhere handy in each case the RPM thus the stroke frequency of that motor will vary a lot. But no, it's around 55 Hz.

That of a didgeridoo is 60 on most. AC grid frequency is 60 Hz in US and 50 in Europe.
So apparently in the case of didgeridoo, precise size matters. The only way they could have done it by the time they didn't use any measuring tools was by sound. Tuning. But why that frequency? That remains a mystery to me right now.

The logos of Nike and Amazon, others, seem to contain boomerangs. Nostalgia? Another out of this world tool used by the separated civilization of Australia, possibly brought back in Egypt, other regions.  So far i have seen that traits or elements of a civilization that spread to others places tend to survive mostly in the originating place. To this day these tools are used by the aboriginal population of Australia.
About penguins, Pangu and angels i wrote before. Going on linguistic line of hypothesis, i think it's reasonable to assume that angels, known to humans way before biblical times, where not mythical beings but underwater flying birds from the Southern Hemisphere. The name Pangu of the god of creation in Chinese mythology seem to have several obvious connection to that bird. Up until recently i believed penguins lived both and "North and South Pole". Not true. They only live in the Southern Hemisphere.

The taoist symbol representing whatever, the everything having opposing sides, seem to be inspired from the face of a penguin chick. "Whether it be biological (boy/girl), physical (hot/cold), or moral (good/bad), the universe is full of opposites, opposing sides from one another. Whether it be biological (boy/girl), physical (hot/cold), or moral (good/bad), the universe is full of opposites".
There is a place in the middle of Europe that at least since Roman times to this day is called Pannonia. On today's Hungary Coat of Arms there are present Angels that in some versions seem to resemble penguins.

To be continued...
