Snail Mail Project (Page 3) by bchrisdesigns
Page three, the final page of my Snail Mail Project contribution, is all about where I live! I figured…this whole project is about a journey so might as well document where this book as been by devoting an entire page to my lovely home! I have represented Southern California as a whole and then have broken that down into the major sub-areas that make up my hometown: West Covina is a city located in the San Gabriel Valley area of Los Angeles County. Located about 20 mins. outside of the city of Los Angeles, West Covina is a suburb that is only minutes away from beach, desert, mountain, city, and rural areas all while being self-contained in a mini-mall infested and culturally diverse locale. We’re all about sun glasses, suburbs, and sun tans (or burns, depending on who you ask). Sure, we drive crazy and tear down historic landmarks to build Wal-Marts, but where else can you buy underwear at 3 a.m., visit the Magic Kingdom, try a different type of food every night of the week, and see a Starbucks at every sinlge intersection? We build sand castles in the sky and tear them down just as quickly. We’re expensive, larger than life, and one large melting pot of ideas, cultures, and environments. Visit us and you will see true capitalists at work. And, those of us bohemians who manage to survive will be the first to say that we love this town but will never admit to it because that would be too cliche! This page was created via mixed media collage utilizing photographs, stickers, pen, paper, and ultra cool scrapbook details. I hope you enjoy!

Snail Mail Project III by Michael J Armijo
...Voila…my last page. I have poems, excerpts from books and many other words I wish I could have expanded on. However, I was pressed for time so I focused on images and pics that expressed “ME”. I hope you like…Now the scrapbook is en route to West Covina, California. JOIN the SNAIL MAIL Group if you want to participate…but don’t be a FLAKE….you have to do it and make a good effort on it. I guess with the creative talent here at RB it should be fairly easy. :)

Thanks everyone for responding to Part One. There certainly is a common thread and lots of interest and some wonderful insight into the writing process. Perhaps the next question is, why do readers seek out the darkness in literature? The more popular books globally have dark themes. Stephen King has become legendary from it – so too has JK Rowling, Agatha Christie, Xavier Herbert, Patrick White, Peter Carey, Mathew Reilly, David Morell, Isobel Carmody, Douglas Adams et al. In so many ways, popular authors delve into darkness and take their readers with them. Why do we willingly go! Especially when for the characters we learn to love on the journey, many don’t survive!! We know this but still we read on. Why do we love to cry at a fictional character’s ephemeral existence? Why do we thrill at the dangers they face? What is it that people like to read and why?

I have just entrusted the Tuna Tin to Australia Post and, fingers crossed, it will be in France before too long. Our postal systems seem to be very nervous things these days and I am really hoping this little thing can find its way around the world without being lost. What will happen to it? It will be posted from bubbler to bubbler around the world and at each stop it will be added to, looked at, played with and photographed. The photographs will be uploaded here at RB for all to see. Here are the artists we are hoping the Tuna Tin will visit. pbworks France Andy Mercer England mmargot USA scott allison USA SANCHEZISDEAD Guatemala I have included with the Tin a little letter for each artist, maybe with a suggestion, maybe just a hello. All of these wonderful people have amazing creative and playful minds and I am very much looking forward to seeing what they add to the little collection and how they photograph it. Send your thoughts out to the Tuna Tin and let us see if positive thinking can beat the vagaries of Snail Mail!

I just received news that my submission to the Farewell 43 Project was accepted! Now, all I can hope for is that it will not only be published on the web, but in the book itself! I posted my 200-word message on Red Bubble, which you can see by clicking here. You can also see it online here. And, also on my blog here. (I believe in the power of three!) It took me a long time to write it and say what I needed to say. My fingers are still weak and my arms are still shaking because of how angry I was when I typed it. It was great therapy! I think this is a wonderful project and that everyone should participate! It does not matter whether you love him or hate him or are American or not…there is a place for everyone to leave a message! Check out my brief tutorial here, for more information. They are also accepting image submissions as well!

This is my message to our departing president. It is everything I want to say to his face. It took me a long time to come up with the right words to say because, every time I began to type, my fingers filled with rage and I was so overwhelmed that I could not put my thoughts together. I had 200 words to say what I needed to say; and, I used all 200 words! I did this for Farewell43.com’s project, which bids farewell to our 43rd president (and, good riddance, too). I just received an e-mail informing me that my message to the pres. has been approved for the web. Now, I can only hope it is powerful enough to make the cut and be published in the print anthology of the same name, which will be delivered to the pres. himself. For more information on how you can add your message and let the president (and the world) know exactly what you think of him, check out this brief guide: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Let-Dub-Ya-Know-What-You-Really-Think-of-Him It is non-partisan, and non-biased. So, whether you love him or hate him or are American or not, you too can have a say!

Mmm, a long piece I’ve been working on that I need to hang out to breathe for a while. For those with a cup of something warm and delicious to sip on and the time and inkling, I thank you wholeheartedly in advance for reading.

Been a bit distracted and very busy of late, which will get worse. I am moving back to Scotland, from Switzerland. Just handed in my notice at work and will be looking for a house and so on, as well as tying up business here. So, don’t take it as rudeness if I can’t check out your work properly. I will still try now and again. Might even try to post a couple of things. Thanks everyone for your support. Rob
