[test] Yes this was only a test. All of life is only a test. You are not told in advance when you are born it a test and you can only receive instruction from those who are faking it and they have only learned from what they know from their parents who were faking it. So after spending most of my life faking it, at 60 I'm finally finding out what I should have known at 20. Well that sucks. That old phrase "better late than never" comes to mind. Well that is the "Story of my life". I haven't been writing here in years and find out the russians are reading my post and looking to hijack my site. so here I go again at 60 trying to learn something new, how to protect my info. from russian hackers. Damn! I'm not Hillary guys.
I was looking at some books and writers and accidently found this person I was dating back in the 90's . She is a writer now of fantasy books. Changed her name a bit and gave herself a false history. Brilliant! I have always wished her the best and have hoped she was a success in whatever she did.
Very happy for her. Sometimes a fake history is all we need. Doesn't hurt anybody and gives you a new lease on life for those who have had a not so great start at life to begin with. Made me think. Hmmm is a name change in the works for me??? My start was not that great. Yeah I have a colorful history. One that would not be too bad to re-write. I will ponder the re-write .... lets see.. Rohn Einstein Charpender  .... maybe not.

It has been a while now since I had written. Time to start again with a new vision and a new passion. Didn’t have that when I started this blog. But that has changed. It’s late right now...almost 2 a.m. So in keeping with the times I must say good morning before the rooster crows and the sun does rise. Nighty night kids. Dream of sock monkeys in swings.

Wow a lot has gone down since my last post Sunday, December 12, 2010. Sold the condo after doing the math and soul searching as to whether we wanted to have all that overhead and no control over HOA stuff. We now are very happy after a year of downsizing from a huge one bedroom condo to a vary small one bedroom apartment located in a very optimum part of Pasadena. Walking distance to everything. Unfortunately I have suffered from sciatica just as we were getting ready to move. But getting better and better. It has been one year of hanging out with animation people and has been very interesting.

On my way to an animations group Christmas party. I saw the most Random thing. At the side of the off ramp in the bushes Was an overturned white resin chair and standing next to it was a live white crane or heron. I'm not an expert of birds so I don't know which. But I do know that that was Nd odd place for such a beautiful bird.

Today, monday,  there was going to be workers on our patio doing deconstruction and repair of some  hairline cracks in the cement. A 3 week job they say. We have no recourse but to follow along as it is being done by the H.O.A.  We have had very little peace sense moving in with all the construction. A new roof was put over us last summer. We had the fires and couldn't open our windows and the workers had broken a hose in our air conditioning. We were very uncomfortable. There has been work being done by the city on the street which has not subsided. They end one job then start another. Jack hammers and tractors all day long. Now I hear that they want to paint this place this summer and will probably give us all another assessment just as we are finished paying off the roof...... Anyway I am bitching a little much. But today it rained and we have peace today. No workers in the street or our balcony.
    Yesterday we were at dalton park in azusa with my cousins for easter and experienced dancing trees and rolling lawn as there was an earthquake in baja cali. We all lived to experience today.

I had a dream that this lady minister said to me that I have a dream that died and the Lord is going to resurrect it. She asked me if I knew what it was. Now I have been around a few years and have had many, many dreams die. I mentally went through the whole list of dead things and replied "I don't know" When I said that, in my heart I thought about the love I had for painting. But that was such an impossible thing. I mean I am over 50 and I gave that one up 18+ years ago. It all died in fire as I burnt my paintings on the suggestion by a born again christian woman, because my paintings were demonic, and according to her they should be burned. Back to the minister, she asked again and I felt  despaired and again said I don't know. She said "Well the Lord knows. He is going to resurrect this dream and and he say's acceleration! Acceleration! Acceleration! End of dream. I woke up and pondered for a while.
I told my spiritual mother about the dream but not what was going on with my heart and she just blurts out "art. it's art" I then filed it away as I have done with so many prophetic words, prayers, hopes and dreams. This was about 3-4 months ago. The last few weeks have been astounding to me as I have been to several events that have to do with art. An art show and panel discussion at art center with the movers and shakers of dreamworks animation. An art show and panel discussion with some concept artist that worked on alice in wonderland and avatar. I got to talk to all of them and received some guidance. A friend of ours had a meeting for artist of any persuasion, meaning music painting, poetry. And I got some more guidance.
A dream has been resurrected and in an accelerated time frame.
My Lord will not quench a smoldering wick.
My childhood dream was to work in animation.
I have a long way to go.
But I do have the dream.

I am trying to put together an out door studio of sorts on our balcony and was in need of a cart with storage capabilities and had the ability to roll. I said a small prayer in my heart of hearts asking that my need be met. I forgot about it. and latter that day went to the community washroom to do laundry and there is this broken down cart in there for anyone to take should they want. I looked it over and realized I could fix it and that it was perfect for my needs. Now all of my materials are in one place and I have mobility. My heavenly Father knows my needs before I ask for them. Thank you Papa for my cart.

I saw my pastor at our harvest festival and went up to him and asked if he signs books as he has written several. He said yes and told me to get with his assistant Mel and Mel will get it to him for signing. I asked "Is Mel your body man?" (like what  president obama has) He looked at me as if I were an odd one and said nooo. and moved on. I found out latter Mel is a lady. And now I fear pastor thinks of me as an odd duck. But then doesn't everybody?

This is the five year anniversary of my marriage to my bride Rosalinda. I am a blessed man. This morning she exclaimed "After five years you finally get it right" Hey don't go there! She was talking of the single rose. Life is good when you get it right.
