All right...
I am still working with 120 bpm music. This next set is the "Jackson" set. You can start to hear this new baby's (song) song take shape over at SpliceMusic.com ... as a matter of fact, it might be better for me to get the beat up there BEFORE I start this quest...
So that is what I'll do. And in the mean time, I'll think of a topic or subject that really makes me excited...
Peace Out, Gary

Art. A picture is worth a thousand words. Art. And when art is displayed, a piece of the artist has left his soul, but the world of inspiration, thought, and imagination is exponential. There is an abundant never ending supply of "soul", no matter how much of it we give away. Art.

The Birth Canal
Before the chicken. Before the egg. First came the IDEA...
I have included in my personal checklist of song making to include the fore thoughts to the song. Many ask which came first, the lyrics or the music. But before any of that happens, something has to spark an idea. I want to try and capture that spark, that one moment in time that leads to the completion of a song. "Song Blogging" I guess you can call it.
And, as god to my music, I see a vision (I vision a scene?)... where many people are in the chat with me, and many people are blogging their own ideas with me, and with us together... that leads to the birth of many new song adventures.
I'll start out with the blog (not much for chatting you know...). If you got some ideas for a song, or some comments on anything that interests you (and me) in this universe... now is the time to speak up! Hurry! We're having a baby! :)

Who is John Peniel?
I tried to find out this info on line using Google, and seemed to be difficult if you do not have the correct Spelling.
He is suppose to be the World Leader or Messenger, that will bring to the world, a new order of things. Is this good or bad? I don't know. You decide for yourself. Article Link: http://www.atlantis.to/edgar-cayce.htm
I found spellings like, Jon, John, Panille, Panile, Penile, Peneil, Peniel, Panilla, and the list goes on. The correct spelling according to Edgar Cayce is Jon Peniel.
My concern is that often these oracles are not often right, but strangely very close to thier predictions. Has anyone on the inside notice that John McCain and Sarah Palin are oddly close to this prediction?
I wonder what message they have to deliver?
These next few years will prove to be very interesting indeed. Either way, Obama or McCain, we will be in for a ride as these people have not much to do with the order in which the country was left for them to lead. I will of course support whichever candidate we select, for I am an American... and that gives me a right to complain about things from time to time.
Good luck to the winner, may God Bless us all.
Peace Out, Gary Ruff

Cocoa And Bananas
I was buying these pills online for "cocoa". Americans take pills for everything. I think it is a convenience factor. However, I found in the store over there at Wal-Mart, some Cocoa.
It was brown, all ground up, and appeared to be ready to use. It does not dissolve in water, at least in a fast manner. But, it will dissolve if you let it stand for a while.
Ingredients: Cocoa
That's what the label said, and it cost me only 2 or 3 dollars.
So, I tried it in my tea. Yuk. I tried to dissolve it in water. In time, it worked! But still, yuk.
Then the magic happened! I peeled a banana and stuck it in the cocoa jar... a home run!
So Hershey listen up! Bananas and Cocoa are the next big thing! Maybe throw in some Peanut Butter?
Wow! I have to try it! I'll be back soon...
Sincerely, Gary Ruff, Peace Out!

N2W
I have an idea for Lone Star Park, the “Not to Win” pool. Of course, only available at Lone Star Park on line or at the event.
Here's how it works: First, Gary Ruff gets season box seats for life for coming up with this idea (with courtesy free meal and 2 drinks). If another park uses my idea, I'll do the deal with them.
2.You create a “Not to Win Pool”. It acts much like “shorting the stock market”.
3.If I bet the 6 horse “Not to Win” (N2W), then I will get paid from the pool by WHERE the 6 horse finishes. If it finishes last, (like Big Brown), AND not many players placed this same bet, then I am a big winner.
4.If the horse finishes somewhere in between, say 4th... then the pool is divided as such:
1. 0%
2. 2%
3. 3%
4. 4%
5. 5%
6. 16%
7. 17%
8. 18%
9. 9th to last gets split up evenly
You can offer DNF insurance or Scratch insurance so that bettors whom use a system can feel confident that their bets will be safe far in advance of the race.
Example: I get on line a few days early of the Preakness. I have a system. The Preakness offers me DNF or Scratch insurance (DNFSI) for a rate of $1.00 for the entire race day. ($1.00 is just an example, that can be determined later how to develop the real price). If something “odd” happens that day, the insurance pool can pay out to the bettors affected.
As a matter of fact, if you combine my N2W idea with DNF and Scratch insurance, you could come with a pool called “Loss Protection Insurance”. Just think if everyone coming to the track today purchased the insurance, through some computerized system, they ALL could leave with a check.
What? Yes. When they get home, they are still tied to the races because they will want to know what their “insurance” will pay. Make insurance cost $1.00 per unit. They can purchase as little as 1 unit or units much higher of insurance! What does this do? Well, first of all, people will feel protected and less afraid to come to the race park to place conventional bets. Secondly, they will feel more free to bet on Big Brown to win, as they place an insurance bet (a real insurance bet) that he doesn't do any worse!
The track is not losing any money. The bettors place their insurance bet and draw from the pool the same as if they were betting to win. The difference is that the common guy will feel protected, and gambling will become more “friendly”.
Peace Out, Gary Ruff - Horse Bettor and Compusician
PS There are 2 main motivating factors in life (maybe more). Greed and Fear. Why not make money at both ends? If I go in and bet on Big Brown to Win, maybe I have a 10 cent fear with that bet. 10 cents of insurance. If I go in and bet “Gary's Dream O Rama”, maybe I want to purchase a little more insurance. The point is, money can be made playing on both ends of Greed and Fear, not just Greed.
Love is the 3rd motivating factor, I haven't quite figured out LEGALLY how to do that one! :)
(And if you did, what would the Brothels in Nevada be like????)

MotoRokr!
Damn! It's about time they have a cell phone that plays music (not that iTunes, stuff, but mp3!).
It will be great when my new cell phone company can provide this phone, Net10. I want music in my cell phone! And I want to hear via Blue Tooth! And a camera would be nice, with International Text Messaging.
Heres the ROKR Video: http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/rokre8/experience/#blog-this-video
And to dream about the future? A phone that lets me download a movie, connect it up to my TV and I have the ultimate phone, music player, video device.
And??? .... oh yes, as a guy, I want to be able to download a Steelers Game in progress, while it plays on my TV.
:)
But who wants to make money anyways? Go to work techies!
Love Ya, Peace Out, Gary Ruff
PS Techies, you need to develop a path for the money to flow worldwide. PayPal seems like a possibility. It has to be "open market" too. Why? Open Market is what seems to support creativity. If we had an open market on energy, would we all be buying oil? I think not.

Taking Back America...
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler
Corporation from it's death throes?
He's now 82 years old and has a new book, and here are
some excerpts.
Lee Iacocca Says:
'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with
what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We
should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of
clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a
cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind,
and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less
build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone
sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say,
'Stay the course'
Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is
America , not the damned 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound
bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off
my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up.
I hardly recognize this country anymore.
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators
but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq ,
the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what
to do. And the press is waving 'pom -poms' instead of
asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the '
America ' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean
for. I've had enough. How about you?
I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a
patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready
and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis ! (Iacocca
elaborates on nine Cs of leadership, crisis being the
first.)
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times
of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on
the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off
to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself.
It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling
down.
On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more
than any other time in our history. We needed a steady
hand to guide us out of the ashes. A Hell of a Mess So
here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war
with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're
running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.
We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our
once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health
care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in
power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in
trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class
is being squeezed every which way These are times that cry
out for leadership.
But when you look around, you've got to ask:' Where have
all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative
communicators? Where are the people of character,
courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? may
be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the
point.
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland
security than making us take off our shoes in airports and
throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars
building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do
is react to things that have already happened.
Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of
Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day
evaluating the response to the hurricane, or demanding
accountability for the decisions that were made in the
crucial hours after the storm.
Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it
doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms
happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what
you're going to do the next time.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively
about how we can restore our competitive edge in
manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could
ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese
car companies? How did this happen, and more important,
what are we going to do about it?
Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for
paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or
managing the health care problem. The silence is
deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away
at our country and milking the middle class dry.
I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you
to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent
while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is
being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so
afraid of? That some bonehead on Fox News will call them
a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some
spine for a change?
Had Enough?
Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom
here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out
because I have hope I believe in America . In my lifetime
I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's
greatest moments. I've also
experienced some of our worst crises: the 'Great
Depression', 'World War II', the 'Korean War', the
'Kennedy Assassination', the 'Vietnam War', the 1970s oil
crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with
9/11. If I've learned
one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing
on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action.
Whether it's building a better car or building a better
future for our children, we all have a role to play.
That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a
call to 'Action' for people who, like me, believe in
America . It's not too late, but it's getting pretty
close. So let's shake off the crap and go to work. Let's
tell 'em all we've had 'enough.'
"There are candidates out there right now working harder than ever", says Gary Ruff an Independent Party Candidate. "It is ashamed we cannot seem to find a few good men, the kind that built this country. Instead, we have men building their families, without a care to the country. At least they haven't given up on the Church, but as Rome goes...
Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you
know and care about. It's our country, folks; and it's our
future. Our future is at stake!
