An International Artists' Village as a social enterprise in the form of a self-managing cooperative.
For a life of prosperity & community, "Living like God in France".

In times of social upheaval, community projects are becoming more and more necessary for each individual and for humanity as a whole, in order to better face and master the challenges of the New Era....

With internationally known and local artists, the ARTlantica artist colony is founded on an attractively located area in Southern Europe as a multi-generational project, which provides architecturally attractive and organic buildings in wood and clay construction in the form of a spiral-shaped eco-settlement and which acts as a nucleus for further settler foundations - for a life in prosperity, health and with nature.
The aim is to be associated with EuroArt, the European network of artists' villages with the ARTlantica artists' village. The first location may be in southern Portugal.

The cooperative ARTlantica- artist village will attract visitors from all over the world.
In the past, artists' villages or districts have maintained their position as attractive settlement approaches up to the present day and continue to act as magnets to initially attract people from all over the world who are interested in art, whose charisma has also attracted and continues to attract other residents.
In addition to the artistic success and the buildings, these villages and neighborhoods also soon enjoyed economic success, which then, however, often drove away the original initiators and residents. Well-known examples are Greenwich Village/New York, Worpswede near Bremen, Ahrenshoop on the Baltic Sea or Kroszian in Croatia.

Is it too late for Canada or can they be saved from Europe’s near-future super-sized insect diet?

When I was growing up, I had a few kids that I would hang with sometimes on my block call me "Thurman Munson" (former baseball catcher from the Yankees who was killed in a plane crash) because of how "Thurman" sounded almost like my last name.

I then nicknamed myself "Thor" (God of Thunder) because of the first four letters in my last name.

And then in 1983, some kids got wind of my middle name (Patrick) and for the hell of it started calling me "Patty".

Since then, I am now being called "Tease (for about the last 15 years), Trouble, Shawna and Shawnda, because I have decided to let my hair grow out at work. People are having way too much fun with this.

Feel free to share the nicknames people call you.

You may have heard of the Maltese Cross, but do you know what made the Maltese cross?
One day a creature was born. Probably a bastard child. Possibly an alien hybrid. Brought up without parental control and consequently became a menace to society. It swears all the time and finds fun in its abusive behaviour. It tries to evade identification by regularly changing its name and avoids being photographed. The Maltese people are very cross and refer to this creature as the Maltese Hooligan.

They seek him here
They seek him there
The Maltese Hooligan is everywhere
He hides his face
In complete disgrace
And changes his name
To come back again
For he swears a lot
Does this idiot
Full of abuse
Which does not amuse
But his end will come
And soon will be done
So Malta can rejoice again
When rid of this Hooligan.

Watch out for this creature recognised by persistent swearing and abuse. A faceless alien hybrid with the ability to regularly change identity and even acquire another's photo to try to be authentic.

Some people like being whistled at, while others don't. Me, I have no problem with being whistled at (depending on the gender. ).

I'm sure women get whistled and cat calls more often than us guys ever do, or ever will.

Ladies, if you have an opinion on this happening to you, or other women, love to hear them. Same goes for the guys on here.

Why I'm doing this blog? Because I just got whistled at out next to the alley behind my carport by someone in a passing car.

In a British tabloid interview this past weekend, Ghislaine Maxwell said she is surprised Donald Trump remembered her.
Think about that for a moment. All of them lived and partied in Palm Beach.

It wasn't that long ago to have forgotten, was it?





Note: it's not the same red tie!

Seems we have lost the art of conversation.... Have you sat down recently, coffee in hand at a little coffee house? What do you see? People bent on their phones, tapping away instead of enjoying the smell of freshly baked bread, or the smell of freshly brewed coffee? People do not even have a conversation with the person they are sharing the table with!

Gone are the days....

Words. Have you noticed how some words have fallen into disuse? I have wondered why this happens...
Is it that the idea the word encapsulates no longer exists? Or the object is now obsolete. I am more focused on words that express intangibles such as honour and integrity, I'm sure many more such words are no longer in popular use.
Why is that I ask myself.

I humbly conjecture, words such as honour and integrity impress upon us the ideas of being selfless, honest, humble and free of excessive self interest. Is it that we consider these words to be counter productive to our image or that we find such ideas not suitable abhorrent almost! Suitable such as in, we dare not cloak ourselves in the propositions these words express for we will be found wanting.

Have you such words? Why do you think they no longer appeal to our sensibilities?

Thank You.
