Personal Carmeli pieces

These are two pieces I own from Carmeli, both are originals and fly as f@%# !!! That's my word so take heed.  This picture was taken on my wall, and I'll be taking these back to Texas with me.  The one on the left is titled "Fell Asleep Beneath the Tree" and on the right is "Melody," which I renamed (sorry Meli).  Being a musician, I named the piece on the right "Melody" because a friend of mine who passed away who was also a musician, once said, "A pretty girl is like a sweet melody," and this piece reminds me of a pretty girl I know.  So in a way, by naming this piece "Melody," I am paying respects to a friend/musician who has since passed and also a past love.  Feel free to zoom in.

Carmeli *Live*

Enjoying my Winter Break so far, if I say so myself.  One of the sure highlights (among others, more to come on that later...) was my chance to see artist Carmeli and others' work on display this past Friday December 26 at 111 Minna Gallery.  This was a cool idea, combining a nightclub atmosphere with an art gallery/showing, instead of having it in a traditional gallery or a Starbucks!  In the other room was a *Live performance from Hot Tub, all-femme man-hating group from Oakland.  Yeah..they are something else!  Anyway, here are some shots from the festive night.  Something to behold, for sure.  Oh, and I didn't get a shot with DJ Touchy Feely and Krown Prince, who were both in the building.  This is my shout-out to the two of you.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! This is a shot of me at the Paris Las Vegas, right before the bear fell on me. Kidding, kidding...just trying to get attention =) 

How do say...um, what's the word I'm looking for? BULLSHEEEAZZYYY

The date is Sunday July 6, 2008.  This picture was taken at a gas station on the Loop directly off Old Tyler Rd.  I had just stepped off the Greyhound (yes, Greyhound) bus, and wanted to document this.  I didn't know the price of gas would come down, epsecially so drastically and quickly.   I thought it would at least be high for years.  But that's when the economy went under, although some claimed the "fundamentals of our economy are strong," and with a creepy grin-smile-laugh, the prices plummetted!  Nothing fun about that except for cheaper reasons to drive your guzzler!

This is a picture taken on December 13 while driving south on H 59.  We passed this Chevron (not the same station in above picture) and the gas here was $1.42 and that wasn't the lowest in town!  I believe the lowest we saw en route to Bush Intercontinental Airport Houston was $1.35, and I have a picture of that, but can't seem to find it. Mysteriously disappeared.  Anyhoo, that is a $2.62 drop on unleaded fuel in East Texas, in just over 5 months.  And news was recently released that OPEC will drive the market price of oil to $70/barrel in the New year.  It currently stands at $42/barrel.  That's a slash of roughly 2.2 million barrels/day to drive up the cost again.  Your thoughts
