Apocalypse Pooh

Found out that Apocalypse Now protagonist Benj. Willard, played by Martin Sheen, is from Toledo, like MASH’s Farr/Klinger, and another military man at that. Which makes protagonist Winnie the Pooh of “Apocalypse Pooh” (see below) half from Toledo as well, since he channels Willard in the mashup. We [now] know rainbowology was born at the source of the Maumee (Ft. Wayne), and died and possibly also is resurrected at the mouth (Toledo). Does Apocalypse Pooh directly kill Dark Side of the Rainbow and rainbowology with its MASHUP strength? Is the latter like a renegade, bloated Kurtz? Or is it Willard instead? Kind of eerie.

Another famous Ohioan Willard:

The truth behind the birth of the fusion now known as The Darkside of the Rainbow will probably never be known.

What we do know now, is that it wasn’t the first, nor the most influential mashup of all time. That honour belongs to an analog video mashup known as Apocalypse Pooh, a hilarious and surreal amalgamation of Apocalypse Now and Winnie The Pooh. The simple and highly effective pairing of two endearing and enduring iconic 20th Century properties, became an ’80s tape-trading sensation. To this day, it still really hasn’t been given the recognition and status it so deserves.

Bill Creek

Today checked out some of the Ashville scene I hadn’t visited in a while, in an attempt to reinforce our decision to move there. 1st up was a visit to the town’s botanical garden, which was a great location — hadn’t been there in 2 decades and remembered basically nothing about it. Didn’t take any pics, though. Then I went to the Woodrow Wilson College property and hiked down to Bill Creek on their trails. The wife and I rented a house for 2 years next to Bill Creek about 2 decades back, so I *thought* I was fairly familiar with its passage through college property just north of us at the time. I was wrong. I basically remembered *nothing* about what I saw down in there. It was much more beautiful and complex that I recall. Chalk up another positive for Ashville.

Below is a snapshot of Bill Creek soon after the main trail meets it. I was quickly impressed beyond before; the creek was much longer through here that I remembered, with cascades, pools, cliffs, rocky beaches, lots of stuff…

… including numerous signs of man.

I *do* recall this broken dam. I just didn’t remember it being so cool. And I was startled to look down into the heart of the fallen dam from my perch above to see the 4 colors of TILE reflected back up to me on a chain of triangular flags, suspended, it seemed, from old dam logs.* It was an improbable sight at this place. I *knew* it had to be a sign. I knew this had to be another TILE Falls, in effect.

IMG_0089smaller

Further up the stream, 2 fallen tree trunks act as ebony and ivory style complementary bridges.

IMG_0091smaller

Another beautiful and unexpected setting.

IMG_0095smaller

More signs of man. This was found on a trace of a path off the main path, just before it meets the creek.

A more interesting, rocky island there.

Back to the dam: you can see the flags a little better in this picture.

Some type of peculiar window at the dam.

With the discovery of these TILE Falls, we might have made a direct link between Blue Mountain hiking mythos and Ashville. Are toy avatars also present in the latter location? Probably.

There appears to be plenty of possibilities for future toy happenings even in this small area of the Ashville neighborhood.

Colliding visions: Coggins Farm proposal could bring major change to Riceville

More soon….

The article features our former landlord who is more than a landlord. He is a king.

This is also directly related to Bill Creek I visited the next day.

rainbowlady

Defunct rainbowology.com owner’s backyard in ft. wayne. Like Dorothy, I didn’t feel the need to look further.

Interpretation:

Twins: cradled in mother’s arms (The Point), one looks toward *flying* ghost (left, more illuminated) one away (right, left in dark). This is Gemini, and looking at truth vs denial of same. Ghost is murder victim. Tub turned on side is rocket. Tub is nickname for boat, like ship. Often derogatory (“an old, awkward, or run-down vessel”) https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=tub+definition.. Spaceman looking on: Apollo astronaut, perhaps Armstrong. Put together: Flight but not in right way; ghost created. Failure. No Moon.

“It was something more this time. It was beyond Peter Dunne. Done Deal Dunne.”

bb:

So Rainbowology comes from the Cross of the Lamb idea but extends beyond it.

Carr.:

Rainbowology is something new. A seed. Ylem. Apple. Maumee. Oblio. Birth. Then Farr takes over, har har.

bb:

Glad you liked that.

Carr.:

I made it (!)

bb:

Not surprising. Where is all this heading?

Carr.:

Billfork. You must look.

Ashville & Blue Mountain

karozatbillshouse

Big decisions in next 6 years. Whether to remain in Blue Mtn. or move center of operations to Ashville. Above is a picture of a house in the center of the Ashville Arts District, whose future development plays a role in the decision for certain. Not 50 percent or anything like that, just a definite fraction of some kind. So what I might start doing in this blog is give updates on this District… big things are in store for it soon.

http://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2014/10/06/asheville-informs-residents-innovation-districts/16837029/

We also have a chance to really develop the property we will possibly set up a modular home on. I won’t give a *lot* of details, just some. The parcel we will own will probably be a little under an acre, quite a bit of land then, and double what we have currently. We’re planning on eliminating close neighbors — ones we shared a drive with, ones whose porch is about 15 feet from our porch, and so on. We will have more *breathing space*, yet be convenient to downtown and all the amenities there.

Another area I want to study in Ashville is the Woodrow Wilson College, named after the Princeton man president. Wilson famously appears in the last shots of The Shining. He is holding down the right arm of Jack, who seems to be attempting to reveal the contents of a piece of paper held between his thumb and fingers on that hand. Is it now the mystery of Woodrow Wilson College? What of the more recent UMAPS find called the “boss glyph”? (more on that soon) Woodrow Wilson sometimes called Woody Wilson at the college.

We lived in Ashville for 3 years already. Wife grew up there. We may move back near old homestead. I remember long walks listening to Sibelius at the time. Then Sibelius (and Eno State Park) got me through the subsequent 2 years in Durham.

We got tired of Ashville before after 3 years. We went to Durham, soon to move back to Blue Mtn. Why would this time be different? We would have family in Ashville. Friends. We don’t really have that in Blue Mountain. As stated before, Blue Mountain is really Bluefield. Maybe Brammie the Bramwell dog has answers… if we can find it.

Noru through October

Unless something drastic happens in the next 2 days I’m keeping my Noru property until at least Nov 7, and most likely beyond that — into Dec and perhaps Jan and Feb. I had my eye on renting a 16896 parcel in Aotearoa, in the heart of old Sunklands, but someone bought it fairly quickly. Then my Philudoria freebie land became reclaimed by the Lindens — actually got a nice im from Guy Linden asking me to remove my content from the parcel or it would be deleted. He didn’t have to do that. So those were my 2 options for leaving Noru, along with just selling or abandoning the land. I don’t think I’m going to abandon the land. Selling the land is still a small option, but I think I’m here in Oct., once more. Pretty sure. Time to talk to Carrcassonnee (!)
Snapshot2035_001

Carr.:

Many things to be developed in Noru’s Collagesity where we’re sitting at the present. Future times: we’ll have avatars coming and going. Bracket Jupiter I’m picking up. Visits to Chilbo and Parktown again. Signed footballs by Michael Bolton and Billy Ray. Apologies by Billy Ray regarding twins. Sam Parr State College moves on beyond the Sam Parr collages. The X Spot Gallery makes decisions about its identity. Spider (looks to right at Spider) goes back into Falmouth. Don’t you boy? Oooo good boy good boy (Spider barks). So there’s stuff to do. How’s your back?

bb:

Fine, fine. If I can get to X-mas break in one piece then I’ll be doing good. Got to study early next year for the rm exam. But first got to get moved back into AB. Got to get the database up and running with the locations as much as possible. Must heal psychically after that. Studying for the exam will help.

Carr.:

Good, good. (then looking to right again) Who’s a good boy, who’s a good, good boy? Spider wishes to take an exam as well. The 2130 exam.

bb:

That’s interesting.

Carr.:

I hear you are going to attempt to climb the Paradox Tree. Or is that Paradox III.

bb:

Both perhaps. And: yes.

Carr.:

How are you going to do it? And remember that *I* own the ones past 2007. That’s Carrcass-1 to Carrcass-11 now. Have you sold me Carrcass-11 yet.

bb:

Perhaps not.

Carr.:

That’s a shame. Soon, though.

bb:

Soon.

on 2 St. Joe’s, and then… *rainbowology*!

Just fyi and to complete the thing, I kind of reversed the rainbowology story below tonight to have it being born in Ft. Wayne, at the beginning of the Maumee R., and then die in Toledo, at its end, when native Farr assumes his eerie position as world controller. Believe what you will of it.

It shares its name with the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan, but the two rivers flow in generally opposite directions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Joseph_River_%28Maumee_River%29

Maumeerivermap

The St. Joseph River forms in northern Williams County, Ohio, at the confluence of the East and West branches at 41°38′54″N 84°33′55″W[2][3][4] Both branches rise in southern Hillsdale County, Michigan. The headwaters of the East Branch are within 3 miles (4.8 km) of those of the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan.

“Peter finds a map of Hillsdale County in a Newton library in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The 2 St. Joe Rivers are joined. They are the same river. At a certain point they are separated as 2 snakes separated from each other. This occurs at Ft. Wayne.

birth of baby rainbowology

joseph02

Early in its history, rainbowology development was jump-started by Johnny Appleseed’s discovery of the irrevocable differences between apples and oranges, and never the twain shall meet. Reminds me of the famous knock knock joke that ends, “orange you glad I didn’t say apple?”

appleseed01

In 1969 Defiance, Ohio native Frank Floydada discovered the genetic link between apples, oranges, lemons and limes, and was brutally beaten and murdered for his revelations, as well as discredited. Rainbowology continued to flourish.

floydadatombstone

In 1979, actor Maxwell Jamie Klinger Farr discovered the first mashup during a break on the set of AfterMASH. While watching an episode of The Munsters where Lilly Herman says, “take my hand” to a palm reading customer, in the next trailer over fellow AfterMASH star Henry General Potter Morgan viewed Helen Krump taking the hand of Andy Griffith in marriage on the 1st episode of Mayberry R.F.D. They later compared notes; Farr’s famous “Mayberry Munster MASH” creation soon followed. Johnny Appleseed’s long standing apples-against-oranges edict first became vulnerable.

farrhands

In 1983, backwards messages in Gary Burghoff’s acid jazz album “Radar Spelled Backwards is Still Radar” revealed that Farr is an alien from the planet 3M orbiting the red giant Aldebaran who intends to take over the world by morphing it into a colossal mashup over the next 30 years. “Mayberry Munster MASH” was just the seed, the messages imply; Burghoff has refused comments.

https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/4830356736/h7832298F/

h7832298F

In 2013, true to the “Radar” messages, Farr actually took control of our planet, although he then quickly manipulated time so that everyone would forget this. The corpse of Rainbowology was discarded into an eerie, unmarked grave. MASHUP is ubiquitous.

thoughts again

Haven’t quite decided whether to give up Noru in October. Must put up land for sale in next several days if so, in order for it to have time to be purchased before the next tier date rolls around. I have the large Falmouth Gallery, biggest structure in Collagesity, already set up in Philudoria, and found out this morning I can also move the Sam Parr gallery over there as well, along with Toxic Art most likely. And not pay a thing for Oct. I’m having trouble coming up with reasons to stay…

Upcoming projects:

*need to finish polishing up as best as possible the Paradox II material of sunklands.com.

*start to think of Paradox Tree (“It’s real this time. It’s time”) for same. Paradox Tree, sometimes incorrectly written as Paradox III. True, it is the followup of Paradox II, but as the subtitle claims, its a real or true history of my personal a/v synching beyond The Oz/Floyd Paradox (or Paradox I, as it is sometimes shortened). Paradox Tree will be Hucka D. interviewing me, I believe, although we could switch places at times (?) No Booker T. around this time, unlike in the Booker T. Archive or the 2007 SID Interview (another type of “failed” interview about a/v synching, like Paradox II).

*add the Sam Parr collages (complete?) to sunklands soon, and also probably the interpretation (3 posts).

*need to tape Carrcass-11, and also think of preservation efforts for carrcasses, negative and positive of course

*start to think about virtual Sunklands for future; map out as best as possible (how?) SL’s Sunklands, as provided on this map
