424

Last year, all of a sudden, pretty much out of nowhere, I started getting intense headaches and feeling nauseous and disoriented and sort of felt as if the world was coming to an end. It happened very quickly and I was totally out of body / out of my mind and for a few days after I kept thinking about my experience. It was totally like nothing I'd ever experience -- which, FOR ME, is saying something.

I felt it was significant and felt, too, that the DATE was significant -- so significant, in fact, that I made a banner and for a brief time considered starting a "424 Society" with the expectation that something would happen again on 4/24. Kind of like some cosmic cargo cult looking for ??

It felt dark -- evil, AND very ritualistic. I had forgotten about all this -- incredibly -- and was watching a video on youtube about a movie tie-in to the Gulf crisis, sort of Hollywood foreshadowing . . . and then, poof, it hit me. 424!!

Did this madness in the Gulf perhaps START on 424? Here is what I found:

On the afternoon of April 22, a large oil slick began to spread at the former rig site.[38] Two remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) unsuccessfully attempted to cap the well.[39] BP announced that it was deploying a ROV to the site to assess whether oil was flowing from the well.[40] On April 23, a ROV reportedly found no oil leaking from the sunken rig and no oil flowing from the well.[41] Coast Guard Rear Admiral Mary Landry expressed cautious optimism of zero environmental impact, stating that no oil was emanating from either the wellhead or the broken pipes and that oil spilled from the explosion and sinking was being contained.[42][43][44][45] The following day, April 24, Landry announced that a damaged wellhead was indeed leaking oil into the Gulf and described it as "a very serious spill".[46]

Amazing. Here is a link to my original post (plus a copy below) along with my original "design" for "424". If you look down in the lower left, blow it up if you have to, you can see what looks like a seagull in black lying on its back, gasping for air. A sign, a coincidence . . . you be the judge.

424 -- a premonition of a dark ritual destruction, played out, amazingly, 12 months -- to the day -- later in the Gulf of Mexico.

Well well well . . . TGIFS Thank God it is Fucking Saturday because yesterday was the Friday Night Lala Land Crazy Town Express . . . at least that is the way it felt. All night and throughout much of the early morning today I felt this "vibe" . . . this "thing" that was . . . more than just a little "unusual".

At first I noticed that I was a little irritable . . . primarily because my trip to Columbus didn't happen and I was stuck at home with zero to do. I went to the gym--a little distracted, but not bad--and got home around 8 pm. I noticed HARD CORE chemtrails over the apartment . . . you say contrail I say chemtrail--thicker and more intense than I had ever seen before.

The night before (Thursday) I had gone through a bit of an existential "naming dilemma" . . . . to be or not to be . . . The Rock n Roll Psychic? Sometimes I get sort of tired of things and since I don't have hair anymore to cut and/or color I find that I need to do something else I guess to stir the pot so I thought "should I be more SERIOUS and drop this little title . . . in favor of something more respectable, like Andy the Wonder Dog or Madame Andre (come to think of it, I have used--as a joke--Madame Andre for a long time) . . . maybe the Seer from Over Here" . . . well, you know, I was bored and fuckin' with myself--a bad, but constant, it seems, habit.

All of this passes with nary a hitch; I recognize my spiritual brotherhood with the name and settle in for a little myspace/facebook action before napper's time . . . soon--and I mean REAL SOON--after I got back from the gym I noticed a kind of "buzz" in the air, things just "felt funky" . . . I am very plugged in to subtle energy shifts and I noted this was "odd" but didn't thank so much about it . . .

until I noticed that my head was starting to "expand" . . . as an exercise for astral projection many times people will "push" energy out of the body and sometimes will feel as if their head is getting "big", filled with something, like air but not exactly. I was starting to feel this and thought "wow, what's up?"

So being the astrologer I am, I looked at the ephemeris (a book showing where all the planets are on a specific day) and noted I had a VERY intense grouping of transiting planets all kicking in right then: a Triple conjunction of Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron . . . EXACTLY on my MC; Pluto . . . EXACT conjunction of my North Node; Mars-Venus EXACT conjunction in Aries . . . EXACTLY square my natal Venus (what I assumed the most likely candidate making me cranky); New Moon coming up in an hour or so in Taurus square my Chiron and opposite my Vertex. In other words, a perfect storm astrologically.

Really it was no wonder I was feeling looney, especially about my career . . . plus my resident astrologer . . . badass Southern Wild Child Rocker T. Watts . . . had already warned me . . . Mars (as well as Venus) is square Pluto this weekend which is funky anyway but in my chart it is doubly, maybe triply, funky . . .

So I said, on facebook, "consider me pretty much like a fall down drunk this weekend and don't hold me to anything I say hahahahahahahahahaha . . . Wild Turkey and Mars-Pluto . . . stay off the SPIRITS hahahahahahahaha and don't answer the phone."

But it just kept getting goofier and goofier; it was like when you get high and look at your hands a lot . . . I was somehow watching myself while simultaneously responding to all this CRAZEE energy--and writing it all down, pretty much play by play on facebook. I was tripping with the "astrological" Brady's . . . ho lee fuck . . . hide the light bulbs . . . and, even for me, it WAS weird!!!!

At 11:50 pm I wrote this: "Normally I am about as Zen as Zen can be but I truly do "feel" some kind of very strange "electrical" vibe . . . I don't THINK I'm crazy . . . very unusual vibe tonight VERY unusual . . . wow wow wow!!"

I didn't really know what the fuck was going on hahahahahahaha but I kept going from pissed to bliss baby to pissed to like straight jacket insane to who knows what . . . all in like 4 minutes. And then all over again.

But the thing that was the most "intense" was that I started having something very much akin to spontaneous O.B.E.'s (out of body experiences) . . . I could "feel" energy and everything was "magnetic", too . . . I also felt it in my teeth, like if you drink something metallic tasting, and my arms were "tingly" . . . shit was also just more "Colorful", like Fantasia on acid kind of intense . . . the colors were vibrating and had a low level glow, like a slow hum to them.

And, later, my dreams -- weird, whacked, also super intense and super fucking emotional, too . . . but weird emotions, hard really to describe. The dreams were also in like 3-D (and no, honestly, I was not taking anything hahahahahahaha) and so that only added to the overall whacked flavor of the day.

While all this was going on I was documenting the ins and outs of my cosmic journey online, sort of a Hunter S. Thompson on the way to Vegas kind of gig, thinking "dude, people are REALLY going to think you are STRANGE" . . . which, I guess, they probably did.

But this morning I noticed my friend Patty had posted this: "Having some very stange vibes this evening...and earlier today...Cant explain it, and not sure I understand it or even like it...Something like energy pressuring my head and Body...currents of unlevelness, yet filled with strength....dont get it....who know? ANYBODY?"

I thought to myself "THANK GOD . . . someone else had the same thing!!" Maybe I am only slightly neurotic and not having a full-blown psychotic breakdown!!

Today I posted this: "strange strange strange . . . I think (based on my profession) that once the dust settles this will turn out to be a good thing . . . I was clairvoyant before but . . . now . . . whoa!! . . . something happened yesterday . . . don't know what hahahahahahahaha . . . I have had unusual peak divine experiences that CHANGED ME but this . . . thing . . . was different . . . wow

it was like my head "got big" and I had "the swim head thang" like you're drunk and I just felt this PULSING PULSING thing . . . like big speakers with the bass pumped up . . .

I was flat out clairvoyant before, I think, but for seem reason it seems like it has kicked in even more . . . don't know if this is like a short-term blip or the way it's gonna be . . . from now on . . . I can only smile and shake my head . . . WTF!!

something very interesting happened last night and I do (at least in the short-term, we'll see how long it lasts) feel different and my psychic vision is revved up . . . and it is usually pretty revved up anyway . "

Crazeeeee . . . the weirdest most alien abductee where the Hell am I mommmmmeeeeeeee experience I think I have ever had. Today, now, finally, I am feeling more back to "normal" but . . . THAT was intense.

And today, I feel somehow more alive more plugged in than ever before. Did something "happen" or was it bad tacos . . . don't know, exactly, but I do know this . . .

There is a God and from time to time God peeks in to say hello. I think last night he/she was checking in, playing with the wind, making his/her presence known.

There were earthquakes all over the world last night, including one, for God's sake, here in Ohio! Lots of people, not just Patty and me, reported "strange" feelings from last night. "Something" happened. I think this happened because we are "shifting" . . . little by little we're waking up to a higher vibration, a vibration more fitting, more attuned to God, to divine consciousness.

Last night was like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride . . . but I think the ride from here on out is likely to be even wilder.

My "Path"

I have thought a lot about my "purpose" in this life -- questions of who and why and what the heck run 'round my brain all the time. I float sometimes from place to place, possibility to possibility . . . Am I a psychic? Am I an actor? Or a painter or a novelist or all or none of the above? Or maybe something else entirely?

I want to soak up life with a big sponge -- love and passion and art and transcendence . . . I want to live BIG and because of that, Icarus flying towards the Sun, I have a tendency, at times, to fly too high and then crash.

I'm a crash victim.

I have thought that part of my "lesson" this go round was grounded in my ability to crawl back from the train wreck I made after my baby Lehna's stillbirth in 2006 -- torching my career and anything else I could set fire to, a "passive" suicide, too chicken shit to just kill myself but not above upping the ante so, ultimately, I wouldn't have a choice.

Death by cop . . . sort of.

I think I'm past that now . . . a rockn rock star psychic wild child Hollywood'n somethin' -- but, what, exactly have I put in its place?

I feel that now, more than ever, I am filled with love -- in ways I never knew before. I truly do have kind of a "love vibe" going on (que the Barry White) and I am working towards finding that love that comes hardest to us all -- the love of self.

I am working on it . . . so at this stage of my life I find that I am morphing once more -- towards self-love (and forgiveness for not being able somehow to make God and the Universe allow my baby to live) . . .

We all walk our paths alone but finally I am able (and willing) to share that journey in ways I couldn't before. Wherever I end up, I realize that this lesson was worth learning. Love matters.

And so, on we go . . .

The Coming Crash in Property Values in South Florida Share

I know I said I was going to stop making predictions about the economy but :) . . .

This is going to get much worse soon as both banks and insurance companies -- something no one talks about much -- are at grave risk for serious shortfalls if property values in Florida suffer a huge hit -- which seems likely to me to happen within the next 60-90 days.

I talked about banks suffering a big hit around the end of August. Well, Hurricane Season is likely to be in full force by then and don't be surprised if people soon just walk away from Florida.

The valuation of homes, especially around Ft. Myers / Naples is probably going to be dramatically impacted and insurance claims are certain to cause some serious pain for insurers. This is a mess -- not just an ecological mess . . . it is a financial catastrophe just waiting to tick off.

People will still live in Florida and homes will continue to be bought and sold -- but values across the board are likely to suffer and people who may be in dire straits financially already may not survive. I expect a lot of people to simply give up and let the banks take back their homes; same thing with boats, too.

Tourism (at least for 2010 and 2011) is going to crash and burn and all businesses with revenue streams tied to tourism are going to suffer huge losses over the next 12 months -- not just along the Gulf Coast. People aren't going to travel because they want to conserve gasoline and no one is going to set on a black beach and watch chocolate covered pelicans die right in front of them.

I still believe that the economy will rebound and "pick up" towards the end of 2011. But this year . . . not so good, in my opinion. And getting worse by the hour.

This is why I said all those years ago that the months between May and October of 2010 was going to be the REAL 2012.

Why I "Predict" the US Economy will Rebound, Dramatically, in 15 - 18 months

Amazing.

When I said, back in 2006, that home prices would drop, it was viewed as a "Chicken Little" what is wrong with you kind of statement. Home prices would continue to rise; why couldn't I see that?

When I said in late 2008 that unemployment would get worse -- again I was considered a bit foolish. Same thing when I said that not only would Barack Obama not fix everything six weeks into his first term -- as most people SWORE would happen -- but things would get WORSE after he was inaugurated.

I even went so far as to say that within 16-18 months (that translates to right now, in fact) his popularity would plummet and he would be seen not only as an ineffectual president but he would be viewed as a terrible disappointment by a great number of people, even by some who had been his strongest supporters back in 2008.

I could go down a dark dark path looking at why the US economy is in the mess it's in but I have chosen across the board to go to (and stay) in my "happy space" and so I am going to try and focus on the positives going forward and not dwell so much on the darkness of the past.

People are fed up; they are, literally, not going to take it any more and my faith in the resiliency of the United States is very strong. It won't come from our elected officials -- they are, for the most part, bought and sold by corporate lobbyists so the answer will have to come from somewhere else.

Capital for start-ups has dried up and corporations rule the land with an iron glove. Both are negative drivers for business growth and to see any real innovation and change in the business climate people will have to forge ahead IN SPITE OF so many things being stacked against them.

But, in the Fall of 2011 I believe the U.S. will turn the corner a bit and things will begin to look up. I expect business to drive that growth but not business as usual -- this will come from a more entrepreneurial spirit and will come about ONLY if the United States buckles up and starts to produce more than it consumes.

And it will.

I believe the next 12 months are going to continue to suck. A lot. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel and by the Fall of 2011 I think the wheels will start to turn in a more positive fashion. I think we will come back and for once I am the positive optimistic voice as now most people see what I was talking about before and can't see much beyond it.

But people are smarter than the elites think (or want) and as a collective we will take back our economic prosperity and see it return to the world (with a few dents and scratches) that we planned out before . . .

That is my "prediction".

"Welder" by Elizabeth Cook

I got back from LA Thursday night and found a lovely surprise: an autographed copy of Elizabeth Cook's wonderful new album "Welder". I have known Elizabeth and been a fan of her music (and her, too !!) for several years now. "Balls", her critically acclaimed 2007 album, is on my ipod and close to my heart. I have played several tracks from this album on my radio show and, honestly, I think she is unique, one of a kind. A TRUE artist.

I put "Welder" in the CD player yesterday and headed west in to Berkeley. I listened to this album, literally, all day -- all the way through at least 4 times and some songs I played 8-10 times apiece, maybe more. This is an amazing album.

It also had to be an album that took some "balls" to do, too -- since it doesn't fit a formula and, in my opinion, is probably not so easy to categorize. There is a lot going on in this album and for those who like one thing -- but a lot of it -- they may be a tad confused.

But, to me, this album just screams "genius" and the diversity and depth of "Welder" add to its beauty. There are fun upbeat songs like "El Camino" and "Yes to Booty" and hauntingly beautiful ballads like "Heroin Addict Sister" and "Til Then", plus some honky tonkin' foot tappers and and tear jerkers, too.

An amazing album. Honestly it is.

Elizabeth Cook is one of my favorite artists. I'm biased, 'cause I know her, but I don't feel as if I'm being prejudicial when I say she really is one of the best artists in Nashville.

I doubt there are too many boys who've ever met Elizabeth who didn't think "now there is a woman"; by the same token, I doubt there will be many who listen to this album who don't also think "this album is something special."

There is a also something masterful in the way this album flows. I know she had a big-time producer, Don Was, and was backed by people like Buddy Miller and Dwight Yoakam, as well as her husband Tim Carroll (a great guitarist) and Rodney Crowell, who produced "Balls" -- but this album, to me, screams Elizabeth Cook !!

Elizabeth is an interesting woman -- kind of a throwback, in some ways -- elegant and beautiful and respectful but she is thoroughly "modern" too (an intelligent, self-aware, resourceful, stand on her own two feet multi-tasker). I think this album, like Elizabeth, is also both modern and a throwback to an earlier time.

"Welder" melds many different sounds and emotions into a beautiful musical tapestry. I am not a professional musician, nor a professional reviewer. I don't know all the ins and outs of the instruments, nor who influenced who.

But I do know this. "Welder" has soul -- and it's real. I think it is an amazing album and I think, honestly, that you may feel the same as me if you give it a listen.

She has a song "Yes to Booty" that basically says this; don't get drunk and expect to be gettin' any. It reminds me of an old Loretta Lynn song (that I also love) "Don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind!".

I personally think a few giant posters of Elizabeth Cook flashed on the wall with this song played over and over would cure a lot of alcoholics !! One of my favorite songs on the album.

The final track, "Til Then", is an achingly beautiful piece that reminds me, for some reason, of Janis Ian. "El Camino" funny funny funny but a rocker, too. Another song in heavy rotation yesterday.

But my favorite song on the album (so far; that could change) is "Heroin Addict Sister". I loved this album; it speaks to my heart. That, to me, is what music, when it's done right, does best.

Elizabeth Cook has the all the right parts to be a BIG hit on Music Row -- beautiful voice, great lyrics, hott blonde drop dead stop you in your tracks beautiful -- but she is true to her self. There is something special in doing it your own way and this album is beautiful and true in its depth and diversity.

"Welder" is a wonderful album. I loved it . . . and, most importantly, I ain't done listening to it yet, either !!

Earthquake Sensitive

Well, I am having an "interesting" phenomena now. Last night, right after I got back to Northern CA, about 1 am, I felt the earth "rolling", as if we were having a minor earthquake. This lasted, I believe, about 10-12 seconds.

I checked the internet -- nothing. I kept waiting for an update, looking back every few minutes for the next hour. I woke up this morning and, first thing, checked again -- nothing, but there WAS an earthquake in Japan.

A few days ago, I felt the same thing in LA -- nothing, but, while this was going on, give or take an hour or two, there was a big earthquake in Indonesia. Strange -- yet the actual everybody felt it earthquake in LA, a 5.9 a couple of days ago, I didn't even notice.

"Predicting" earthquakes? Sure, it is what I do. But "feeling" them, actually feeling the room shake and the ground roll? THIS is different. The irony to this is that each time (and it started a few months back with an actual 4.4 earthquake about a mile from where I lived in LA) this happens it feels like being rocked to sleep, kind of like being a little kid.

The earth motions are very comforting. I can't really explain it.

I don't mean to sound fatalistic, or excessively morbid, but it is sort of like being told not to worry; Mother Earth will gently rock me to sleep . . .

When I was a child I had my tonsils taken out when I was two years old. I had what might be considered an N.D.E. experience where I was left to go run through the halls of the hospital. Three girls, a really beautiful girl, maybe about 8 years old and two twin girls about my age, played with me and talked to me. For the longest time, I accepted this as totally normal -- and maybe it really DID happen. I honestly don't know.

There is an irony, I think, in that the person I feel most like me in terms of what I do, and how I do it, is actually not one, but two -- The Psychic Twins, Terry and Linda Jamison. I had never made that connection until just now . . . strange strange strange.

But as I have gotten older it seems less and less likely to have happened that way, that a little kid on the way to the operating room should just be left to run wild through the halls of a hospital . . . there was a very surreal kind of vibe to that experience at the time and, remember, I was two years old (just barely two) and so memories from that part of my life are few and very far between.

I had very strange, very vivid almost 3-D in your face dreams when I was 3 and 4 years old. I guess NOW that won't seem so unusual, based on what I do "for a living" but these "earthquake" experiences are, for whatever reason, bringing me back to those dreams I had as a little boy.

Anyway, I find this all so VERY fascinating and, honestly, I am kind of baffled by it.

On the way north yesterday on I-5, my right ear starting "hurting" -- out of nowhere. Now, every time I touch it, it hurts. I wouldn't think much of this, except in the "wow, that, too, is odd" after reading this article I found on the web. So . . . who knows, I don't understand it, but . . .

What can you say? I fascinate myself hahahahahahaha !!
