So, it's true that this isn't a peace sign per se, but some of us believe it's a sign of peace.
I spotted these t-shirts at the Box Office Cafe in Chatham, Mass. this weekend. I love humor in a situation like this - one in which our leader's popularity points are in the pooper because of some -ahem-decisions he's made.
It's a rueful laugh to have, though, especially when my best friend is headed to Iraq just before this momentous day arrives. The error may be ending, but unfortunately we're probably all going to have to reboot a few times before we're back to normal. The U.S. government ... kinda like Vista.

KLOS tribal peace
Once again it was Friday and everyone from the 95.5 KLOS Tribe gathered to listen to Theme of Consciousness Jim Ladd hosts on 95.5 KLOS every Friday night.
The diveristy and energy last night was amazing! We shouted a "Lord Have Mercy" for Jim that was aired live. The air was filled with old stories and memories or past days of a time where peace ment something more than just a hand gesture.
Next Friday and Saturday, I will be hosting a TOC party and garage sale to help raise funds for our Haight-Ashbury Trip to San Francisco!
Here we go.....The Culture Of Rock Begins!!
FREEFORM ROCK!

Crafting 365 - Day 83
Some people wage Peace, some craft Peace. Some do BOTH!
I would dress up more if I owned this dazzling tie!
Which Congressman do you think is most likely to be found wearing a Peace tie?

Peace Paddle
Ah! I thought spring would never come, but finally, it's here. Actually I think we've skipped spring all together in New England and gone straight to early summer. Fine with me ... the Acadia with its trademark flag will be in the river in no time.
Yak Attack!

peace for Brian.
I threw 1979 party on Saturday April 19th. I had a pretty good turn out. I wasn't expecting my friends to participate in dressing like the decade.
This is Brian. He showed up wearing a Peace sign. I just had to snag a picture!

Peace to all
I'm not a good storyteller but I'd love to share a story that my dad used to tell me when I was very young. It's a story about a wild fire in the woods ...
And the story goes more or less like this:
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
There was this wild fire spreading fast all over the forest and as it burned hot and hotter, all the animals were fleeing away, trying to save their own lives.
Suddenly, all the animals saw, in shock, a tiny little hummingbird that instead of fleeing away from the fire as they all were, was flying as fast as he could through the burning forest, all the way to the river.
The other animals still in shock noticed that once the hummingbird reached the river, he filled up his tiny little beak with as much water as he could and rushed back to the burning forest.
He poured out whatever water he had stored in his tiny little beak over the burning trees. Once he did that, he flew back, as fast as his little wings would take him, to the river, again into the burning forest, starting it all over again.
And again, and again.
That's when one of the shocked animals that were watching him risk his life for nothing, for a lost cause, instead of going away like they were all doing, and saving his own life, stopped him and asked:
- Are you out of your mind? Are you crazy??? What do you think you are doing????? Get out of here!!! Now!!! Or you are going to get killed by the fire!!! Flee for your life!!!
And the hummingbird said:
- I'm trying to put the fire out...
The shocked animal:
- Are you crazy??? Look at you! At your size! At your beak's size!!! There is no way you can put THAT fire out!!! You are going to die!!!!
The hummingbird:
- Well, at least I am trying... I'm doing my share. If everybody out there do the same, their part, their share, maybe, together, we will save the forest...

It was a outline I had done when I was 17, it looked crappy. Cyn made it beautiful. The pink ribbon and the name Betty is for my mom who lost her battle with cancer when I was 14. The other 2 names are for my lovely daughters.

When I asked Maria Menjivar, "What her outlook on Peace is...she replied, "Peace is very important because it's our kids future. As long as there is peace in this world, they will have a brighter future"
My mom and I are selling our home and she was our wonderful open house realtor for Sunday April 13th, 2008. She was very professional and enthusiastic about selling our property. And we are excited as well.
I told her about our One Million Peace Signs project and she just had to spread the word!!! She quickly wrote down the website information and will be emailing me more photos of her friends and family flashing us the two fingers!
Thank you so much Maria and Century 21 My Real Estate!

Jim Ladd of 95.5 KLOS-fm and Billy Sherwood of YES
Thursday night, April 10th, 2008, Jim Ladd of 95.5 KLOS Los Angeles and former guitarist of Yes, current member of Circa; Billy Sherwood joined forces and held a primer screening of their new album titled, Headsets-Chapter One "Alone Out Here" at the Arc light Cinema Dome in the heart of Hollywood, California.
The night started off around 7pm with a large gathering of Jim Ladd tribe members and lucky listeners who won themselves an unforgettable night. Smiles flooded the theater as everybody had already been acquainted with each other in a warm familiar way. The diversity was unimaginable and nobody was left as stranger.
As everyone took their seats inside the theater, non-stop cheering and applause echoed the room with hysteria. Members of KLOS staff and on-air personnel, such as Cynthia Fox and Uncle Joe Benson, were introduced as Jim Ladd and Billy Sherwood stole the spotlight.
They both took center stage to discuss the making of the album and the film project produced and directed by Art Gasm. Before the film started, an unexpected short clip began in Billy Bob Thornton’s absence. He congratulated Jim and Billy on their wonderful performance on the album and was sorry he couldn’t attend. He was asked to sing a cover song, originally performed by The Rolling Stones in 1967, called "2,000 Light Years From Home." It is track 15 on the "Chapter One" finished record.
Once the film commenced, cheers of excitement waved through the audience one more time. The track list corresponded with different previously recorded film clips from all over the world and lasted about 45 minutes. It was truly an exploration of the mind. It made you think about the impossible and what the future may hold. It was a journey of oneself through the exploration of time and space. It made you want to connect with every human being within your surroundings and made your mind feel at ease. The guitars eclectic tablature and insightful lyrics sent chills down my spine.
The complete track list:
1. Remnants Of Creation (Part I)
2. The Launch
3. We Are Sailors
4. Reaching For The Stars
5. Sons Of Our Suns
6. The Mission
7. The Lonesome Trail
8. Finding Our Way
9. Universal Garden
10. The Family Business
11. Alone Out Here
12. Systems Failure
13. Reflections
14, Message From Home
15. 2,000 Light Years From Home
16. Perspective
17. Melancholy Deity
18. Remnants Of Creation (part II)
19. One World Going Round
To wrap up the event, Jim Ladd and Billy Sherwood were kind enough to sign autographs, take pictures and answer any questions the audience had. They were very gracious to flash One Million Peace Signs the two fingers!
Thank you guys!!

Unity in Diversity
Unity In Diversity
By Rajaram Ramachandran
Tastes differ, Views differ,
Voices differ, Features differ,
Persons differ, Thumb prints differ,
Races differ, Castes differ,
Creeds differ, Customs differ,
Manners differ, Dresses differ.
Looks differ, Languages differ,
Songs differ, Speeches differ,
Trees differ, Plants differ,
Creepers differ, Creatures differ,
Birds differ, Animals differ,
Worms differ, Insects differ.
The food of one man
Is another man's poison
For a well known reason.
In the world of creations,
Sans matching relations,
Why numerous manifestations?
The patterns are symmetrical,
While the shapes are geometrical,
But why differences are astronomical?
How there's an unity
In such a diversity
Of forms live in conformity?
To these questions the answers,
The Almighty, God only knows.
What a wonder, are His plays.

Peace Walk For Burma: A Protest With A View
Colors! Peace! Great Info. Check out this photo sent in by mybluemuse, who has links on the photo, and says:
Read more about the march from the www.badasf.com website:
"Led by Burmese monks and Buddhist clergy, including Jack Kornfield and other senior teachers.
We will walk in peace to support the democracy movement in Burma. We call on China to reflect the peaceful values of the Olympics by: immediately halting arms supplies to Burma demonstrating support for a comprehensive UN Security Council arms embargo on Burma."
