Normally not a diary type blogger BUT WTH.

I know it's dated Friday....but I didn't finish until 11:30 Saturday night because I have a few million other things on my mind besides this.  Started on Friday.

Now that it is only eight days away I think I should take a few minutes from my project and bring my many readers up to date.  I'll wait a sec until you stop laughing

Ok, got that out of your system? 

Let's pretend that you are my only MIND JAZZ reader.

.........

Good morning,

First off I hope everything is going well for you and that all your hard work and energy pays off in ways that not even you can imagine.

On Saturday night September the 6th I'm having my first solo art show.  I know you already know that but it's just fun to write it out one more time.....in fact one more time

I'm having my first solo art show on September 6 2014....at the Hamilton Galleries in Santa Monica.  This is the press release and then the official invite card.   I truly would be extremely disappointed if you didn't show up





Invite card




It's a fairly big deal in my life and I've only been thinking about something like this since I was 6......so the old adage, better late than never, really applies in this case.  I was in galleries in the early 90's but never a solo dealio.

But that's not all the great news that is happening.


 
 
Those five beautiful girls are all McAlevey girl's.  Two of them, so far, have changed their last names and I simply can't explain why anyone would want to stop using MACALVY, McALVERY, MACALEVY, McLevy, Mcaleaveeay, or McWhat......just doesn't make any sense to me.

But that's just me you see.

The babe on the far right is being carried around by the beautiful Vanessa Carkonen.  There's a baby in there stupid.

The chick third from the right is now a Naylor...and the fact that Mike did just that doesn't surprise anyone who knows Victoria.

The other two hotties on the left, Alexandra and Elizabeth,  are still on the market but I don't think Evan and Gerald would appreciate that comment....but listen here boys......you guys have the inside track so don't blow it.

Now.....the second sweetface from the right....is Lily May Montana McAlevey and she is my daughter.  What has happened to her in the last month is the best career news a father can receive.
My daughter is a highly gifted dancer and artist.  She is just learning about her art abilities but her dancing abilities are known by anyone who knows her.

She now works for a dance studio in Malibu teaching little kids how to dance.
It is a perfect job for her....and it's a job that can easily become a career.  After 12 years of ballet training and dancing for free at different clubs and party venues...she now is getting paid to do what she loves.

MY HEART IS BURSTING WITH PRIDE....because she is career happy for the first time.

Lily being happy is all I want for her.  Well, I'd like her to meet a wonderful socially conscious man who knows how fabulous she is and worships the ground she walks on, but that's an issue which cannot be rushed.

The other great news is that I've begun a soft friendship with the most gifted artist that I've ever personally encountered and his beautiful wife Carla.  I say soft because this man has so many people who admire what he has done and what he represents that to say anything but soft would almost seem like an intrusion on his space.

Simply go to his site and then e-mail his wife at carlamccloskey@aol.com and you will be invited to events that give you an opportunity to see a modern day version of the Sistine Chapel.   And if you think that is an exaggeration......I promise to refund the cost of your time.  Oh I forgot you are quite successful so I can't afford your time....but I'll give you a free painting if you don't agree with me.

Now remember you are my only MIND JAZZ reader so I know who you are.

One of the other amazing things happening is the golf game of my older brother Jerry.  I think back 5 years ago when he started playing consistently and my dad quietly said to me...."he ain't EVER going to be able to play this game....and nobody improves once they get past 60."

SO WRONG DAD....SO VERY VERY WRONG.  He now beats everyone of the regulars he plays with including yours truly.

Ok...so now let us get back to me.  Right now it's all about ME.  Of course that will change on the morning after my show.  Then everything will revert to being all about YOU.

The Universe is having a good time with me right now. The small nuances that keep flowing through my daily existence are often times quite funny and then at other times they are quite staggeringly stressful.

Here's a funny one.  Every morning I wake up around 6 and take Ollie out for his walk.  Being a Yorkshire Terrier his bladder is the size of a golf ball so he's a 3 time a day pisser.  I walk two blocks to the market and get the LA Times and say hi to my DP's.  (Daily peoples)  Then I come home and do my morning food recycling while reading the paper.  I start with the Calender section because show biz is a big part of my life, having been born in Hollywood.  I read the entire section and then I read my horoscope. Then I read the Pearls Before Swine comic strip by Steven Pastis.  It's consistently funny and I've only been reading it for about six months thanks to my friend Dr. Francis Joseph Conlan, better known as Butch, from Northern California.  I used to read only Doonesbury but his strip during the week has been repeats for the last four months and I don't do repeats.  I appreciate that his Sunday strip is current and that's better than nothing.

Yesterday morning I woke up slightly bummed.  The night before I had done a Q & A in front of 45 people at the above mentioned artist's house regarding my art show and the Particle Fever movie.  I semi-bombed the event and felt horrible about my 15 minute presentation.  I did my regular routine and when I got to the horoscope I read the following words.

"Put the word out. Hire a PR person or become your own.  Hold nothing back. What you share will multiply your good fortunes and the good fortune of others."

It really pumped me up and I don't even believe in Astrology but I read the nonsense because....because......I'm an idiot...and contradictions along with illusion play a big part in my persona.

But most of all I know The Universe is having some fun with me and that makes me feel connected.

I enjoy the thought of being connected even if it's not true.

Keep in mind that all theories regarding NPR are abstract by their very nature....and besides that.......they are theories.  When it comes to finding truth about non-physical reality those of us who wish to appear as Theoretical mystical thinkers  do not have Experimental mystical doers to prove them right or wrong.

Experimental Physicists are fundamentally important to Theoretical Physicists......but the arena I play in has no such participants.

Neo-Illumination # 25

The string theory has been adopted by Quantum minds
and there are opportunities to truly understand
the mysteries of Creation

But keep in mind Neo-Illumination #12
Sometimes the soul of an artist can know for sure what the mind of a scientist will never understand.

Kind of cocky , huh?

Please remember...not only is Michael Timothy McAlevey coming out of the hidden art closet but I'm bring Neo-Illumination with me and the dance should prove rather interesting.

The last song on my play list for the show will be this piece by the guy who makes me dance the best....and probably the most. It's hard to sit still when Johnny does his thing.




I might be dancing all by myself.....but it will be at the end of the show and there's a good chance that I will be the only one there.

I plan on playing that song until someone comes back and checks up on me.

Well since you are my only reader I've got to thank you personally for getting to the end of this and now I've got to get back to work.

ONE WEEK AWAY

Tomorrow I'll post the brochure that I will hand out at the show, just in case you can't make it, so you will have some idea of what has brought me to this exact point.....which is approximately 13.9 billion years since The Creator gave us The Universe.

And oh by the way......Thanks.

Bless you...and be sure not to tell your friends about the show because then they might want to start reading Mind Jazz and you won't feel as special as you do....right now.
