Video Complete: LET'S CREATE A NEW HOLLYWOOD

Watch Video
This video in the most simple terms is meant to show a different kind of future that is based not solely on the accumulation of wealth, but on a combination of cultivating respect for others, kindness, compassion and care for our shared world. But, in my opinion, this message has to be done with force and true unbridled passion. It has to be honest. We have to be honest about how our greed culture has warped our minds. It has certainly warped mine, and I am sick of the celebrity worship that dominates our society. It truly is a waste of time, and I don't judge people who get caught up in it because even I cannot help but know all about the details, because it is force-fed to us in every possible way. I AM SICK OF IT AND INTEND TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SICK SITUATION. "FED UP" is putting it mildly.
Some are not convinced that this movement is possible, but I beg to differ. There's a revolution going on in California and the elements that used to be fringe are coming together, building strong ties and a powerful center. This video is inspired by real people I have met recently who do not possess material wealth, and indeed, are considered to be in "poverty", but in actuality, they are some of the happiest people I have ever met. They have cultivated their minds and hearts which keep them fed. The do not live selfishly for themselves, instead, they are continually outward in their energy and show a deep concern for those around them. They get everything they need because of their magnetism and life force. They are the true leaders to our future.They are my teachers, in an informal way. No money is exchanged, and I have been feeling true growth from their knowledge.
Anyway, let's share, let's be aware, until WE HAVE NO HAIR!!!!!!!!
Enough of that serious shit, let's get down and dance!!!!!!!!

Manifestiny: Voice Artist and Child-Man

Today turned out like a dream: I met a friend at the E Street Cafe and while waiting in line to order, a voice artist named Gary Elliot descended upon us, pouring out the Manifestiny and dancing wildly with bits of world audio flying out of all pores. He's a self-described General Eclectic, head Prof. IT without the harmful profit rays distorting his skin. I am in a trip that I never want to slow down. Manifestiny is all around.
And yesterday, the child-man Jafar entered my video. I placed him in front of the dragon mural, he danced his Tai Chi, and then whisked me into the tea room, while Bob Dylan's face lit the wall. We painted together and laughed, smiled and watched the Corporation. I had to cover my face when the poor cows and pigs were shown in cages. I wanted to save them. Jafar gave me a real big hug with teacup in his breast pocket. Then he removed the teacup and gave me another real big hug. As I drove away, I smiled thinking of Jafar. I continued thinking of him and he appeared, danced to my window and grasped my hand. We laughed again.
I wrote a song about Jafar and the main chorus is, "Can you see the smile of Jafar in me?"
He is nine days in San Diego and I'm the luckiest friend he has.

I'm Making Music!


I have added new songs to my music page on myspace. On one song, I sound like Tiny Tim and  I have elongated laughter, coughs and strange vibrato singing on the other songs. I am focusing on singing, composing and creating new music mainly because my videos now require a new level of professionalism.

San Diego's Brat: The Skateboarding Parrot


I met a man who has an exceptionally talented, skateboarding parrot named San Diego's Brat.

Shopdropping in Downtown San Diego







Tonight I shopdropped in downtown San Diego. I first hit a drug store in Horton Plaza, then walked to Borders where I placed my Patron Saint Postcard into all the PostSecret books. After that, I shopdropped a few more on the racks of a tourist shop. 
My reasons for shopdropping (or reverse shoplifting) are different from others. I have a compulsion that seems to just take over whenever I pass a rack of postcards. I have been shopdropping on and off for many months and have decided to document this phenomena. 
Another reason I do this is because I used to shoplift as a teenager and I want to reverse all the bad karma I have accumulated from criminal activities of the past. I do not shoplift anymore, I have successfully replaced a lot of my bad compulsions with good ones. I still get a rush from putting my postcards into stores. I feel like I am doing community service now, because my Youtube channel: Stellabelle is printed on the back of the postcards and this channel is dedicated to showing the people a new perspective on life. I enjoy meeting as many people as possible and helping spread messages that never make it to mainstream media.

After feeling a sense of relief and glee that I was able to do this without any difficulty, I walked back to Horton Plaza and ran into a man with a skateboarding parrot named San Diego's Brat. I took this to mean that I did the correct thing for the evening.
