I have a friend who is a rock star, and he has been a mentor, and he is a Christian and he went to Bible school, and he studied Leadership training all of his life, etc, he was in The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and other bands, and he is trying to guide me so that I can make the most out of however much life I have left and try to live up to my full potential. He believed in my dreams along with me for the last 20 years, he has always been on my team and has always been a positive force. So, he could see that I have been kind of down, and so to lift me back up he invited me to one of his shows, he is going to play at the Whisky in Hollywood in September, and we are going to go in a limousine, with dates, and then after the club then we can go eat at Norm's. And I might even get laid, if I can find a good date, I would love to find a wife and have her for all of my dates, we will see, I have until September to find a date. So that is cool. When I was a teen I loved the clubs in Hollywood, it will be a fun night, and it is good to have fun activities to look forward to, instead of just doctor's appointments and colonoscopies, etc. Of note, the Whisky is right by Empire West, I wonder if there will be people from Empire West at the Whisky when I go? It is going to be a fun night, and I also need to buy a new outfit to wear that night, etc. Gotta have fun stuff to look forward to.

Salute,

What we have to worry about is our once beautiful cities turning into wastelands and ghettos devoid of jobs and full of homeless people and drug addicts and mentally ill people. Like San Bernardino and Oakland.

And we have mother fuckers giving free drugs to our people to get them addicted, and they turn the women into prostitutes, it is all bullshit.

San Bernardino was great from the 1940s to the 1980s, now it is a wasteland. I would rather live in Battle Mountain, Nevada, than San Bernardino. Battle Mountain is nice for families and they have low crime there, and there are jobs working at the Gold Mines and at the Casinos, etc.

I am not sure how to save San Bernardino, I know cops and prisons are not the answer. The answer is to bring in Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries to help San Bernardino, and Kiwanis International, and the Catholic Church, etc.

It is a distraction to point to some far away land as being something we should worry about, while our own cities such as San Bernardino and Oakland are ghettos that are in deep decline. And 25% of the adults in Kentucky do not know how to read and write.

We need for our youth to be kind and compassionate problem solvers as well as good Business leaders and job creators, etc. There is the Key Club for the youth, and there is Youth For Christ, and there is the YMCA, and there is Scouting, etc, and the youth can keep their minds busy with ideas from NASA, etc. And there is Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries, etc.

Also of note, I took a course in community college pertaining to helping the youth to open their own small business with help from the Small Business Administration, it was a Small Business Management Consulting Class, led by Professor Berry, and Professor Berry went into the poor parts of Compton, California, and he helped the poor young Black men in Compton to open their own small businesses with help from the SBA, and then when they were all successful then they all took a trip to Africa together to celebrate their success. We need more people like Professor Berry to help the youth to start their own small businesses and to create jobs.

We need to give our Youth good healthy positive attention and help, versus neglect, and allowing them to live in poverty. We need for the good people to guide our youth, and not the fucking drug dealers and criminals.

And we can expand exports to China to create more jobs for our youth in San Bernardino and in Oakland, etc.

I also support UNIONS for the workers, and fair pay, and good treatment, and good lives.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, China is great, they are your friend. Worry about Japan, if you want someone to worry about. We need to send Las Vegas Casinos to Japan, and a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and we need to send McDonald's to Japan, etc. And we need to sell them oil from Chevron, and Arco, and all American oil companies, etc. I would rather be allies with China instead of Japan. I like China better.

I love the Italian Business Model, and the French Business Model.

One time I was homeless, and I was living in my pick-up truck, and I was sending out headshots and resumes trying to get acting work, and I went out looking for any honest job. So, I showed up at a job site where an immigrant from Italy was running a job to remodel a home. I showed up and asked for a job, and he asked how much money I wanted, so I told him $100 which was the average going rate at the time for Mexican day laborers, and he told me that he would give me more than that, and he paid me $200 per day, he paid me twice as much as I asked for. So that is the Italian Business Model, and I love the Italians.

Salute,

Tony V.

You may have stayed on the bus one or two stops too long. What condition is your condition in?

Somewhere beyond that horizon, somewhere beyond the neon sky, there must be something better...

There has to be nice farms and vineyards where poor guys like Willy Loman can go live and work in a nice vineyard instead of succumbing to nepotism and the machine.

And for the homeless people a nice home working in a garden with a community would be better than being homeless and feeling isolated and alone.

I thought about going and trying to get a job as a cook at Francis Ford Coppola's winery, I could live in the wine country, and cook, and also make connections in the film industry. But, I kind of like Hollywood, and Anaheim, and Malibu, and I would love to have an office at Universal, and maybe someday buy Universal, but who knows, my best bet might have been to go cook for Francis Ford Coppola on his vineyard.

And I refuse to grow bitter and angry as I grow older, I want to gain wisdom and be a positive force in the world. And I just need to remain humble. Anaheim is cool, and the people here like me, I even have friends at City Hall, my Representative came to my door and introduced herself, she is very cool, Natalie Rubalcova. Right now Anaheim is about to be flooded with $2 Billion, and the economy is going to become fantastic here. And Newsom lowered taxes for filmmakers, etc.

We have cruising now on Sunday nights, and the city started to complain, and I reminded them that the cruisers are customers who we can sell stuff to, and we can have events at Pearson Park and at the amphitheatre which has 2,000 seats, we can sell food and beverages and stuff to the cruisers, God is sending customers to Anaheim Blvd on every Sunday night now with the cruisers. The asshole cops want to make everyone into criminals instead of selling the cruisers tacos and ice cream, etc. We need to manage the cruising on Sunday nights in a healthy way, like the Universal City Walk, we need to make it nice, and we can sell stuff to the cruisers. And the same with Hollywood Blvd, they need to embrace the tourists and make it nice for the tourists, and realize that the tourists are customers.

The Bible says to always look for the beauty in the world, we cannot focus on that bad stuff all of the time. And we need to put our smartest people on offense instead of defense, and we cannot all be cops, and prison guards, and border patrol agents, etc. We need to reward the teachers by raising wages for teachers.

Anyhow, I respect the farm workers, and it is good to remain humble, and to think that I would always get out there in the fields with the workers if I had to, and it would be better than ending up like Willy Loman. And I love Carlos Santana, and Willie Nelson, and I support the farmers, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Press ganging folks into agricultural labor is a bold if legally and ethically questionable strategy to address homelessness, Tony. Certain parts of the country were trying this well into the 1800s but have all since scaled back their efforts. I do not think I support a revival of that approach at this time.

I picture more along the lines of the Garden of Eden, and hippies working in the garden while listening to Iron Butterfly, etc, and Carlos Santana. I picture giant gardens with people supplying food to our ghettos, and supplying food to places where food is needed, and also as supply is increased then the prices come down. And like Woody Guthrie, this land is your land, this land is my land. I picture formerly homeless people finding a Christian family working on a farm in Bakersfield, etc, and finding purpose and a second chance.

Dave Mustaine has his whole family out working in the Vineyards in Italy for his winery, and that is how it can be, people working with their families in the vineyards.

And everyone getting back to the garden, a garden is therapeutic.

It is all about attitude, and circumstances, etc. And they can have more Co Ops like Sunkist, etc.

It is better to have a home and to work in a garden than it is to be homeless on the sidewalk, and there can be community programs for the workers and for their families, including swimming pools, golf, tennis courts, bowling alleys, etc, libraries, etc.

And there is the United Farm Workers to protect the workers, and to help people to connect with jobs, etc.

And the Blacks need to learn how to hire Mexican farm workers, etc. There are new Black owned wineries now in Napa, etc, and they need to learn how to hire workers through the United Farm Workers, etc.

The farms can be places of love and community, it is all about creating a positive environment.

Salute,

Tony V.

We need to help the 125,000 homeless people in California to become peaceful farmers, we have had lots of rain and people can use the water to grow food.

Of note too, is people having tennis clubs, and golf clubs, and swimming clubs, etc, then people need to have bungalows at the clubs, like at the Beverly Hills Hotel where they have bungalows by the swimming pool.

And we need coffee shops everywhere, and book stores, etc.

We need for the children to obey the 10 Commandments, and the Golden Rule, and then LOVE is what life is all about.

And Biden wants to educate our people, I support that, let us PLEASE educate the people of America, it would be the great gift that we could give to America, and the Coal Miner's Daughter can be a Doctor. We need doctors, and psychiatrists, and scientists, and teachers, etc.

Battle Mountain has a Golf Course, but they still need a lot of stuff, there are many opportunities to open businesses in Battle Mountain, and they will always have people because the area has a LOT of Gold, and Gold prices are high right now. I was a cook at the Colt and we served mostly Gold Miners and Truck Drivers and the Colt ran 24 hours per day, I worked the night shift from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, and I lived in a really cool old travel trailer with beautiful wood paneling inside which I owned and I just parked it on my Grandparent's property. One of my waitresses was the Daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York. We had a lot of beautiful waitresses at the Colt.

Oregon farmers have cut back on production, and now many areas in Oregon are forced to buy expensive groceries imported from Canada. Oregon needs to expand domestic production of food, while at the same time California can send food to Oregon, including Bakersfield, Bakersfield grows a lot of food that can be shipped to Oregon.

And markets such as Northgate, Von's, Stater Brothers, Ralph's, Albertson's, Trader Joe's, and others, can expand to sell products in Oregon, as well as in Kentucky, and Arkansas, and Tennessee, etc. And they can also expand into Australia, etc.

( Of Note, they need to open a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida right in the middle of Tokyo, Japan, with the best food, and the best American Rock and Roll entertainers, etc. And they can open Vegas casinos all over Japan, and McDonald's, etc. And we can flood them with the American ideals of a 40 hour work week, and Saturdays and Sundays OFF from work, and paid vacations, etc, and the companies need to learn to be altruistic, etc. )

We can also export food from California to China, including sending Sunkist products and Andre Cold Duck, and wine, etc, and cheese, etc. Mexico can also send food to China, etc.

We need for Future Farmers of America to teach our young farmers, and we need for community colleges in rural areas to teach farming, etc, and we can increase production for the people of Oregon, etc, and for all of us, we can all benefit as the farmers produce more food. And the Teamsters can deliver food all over the nation, along with the railroads, etc.

A European Royal went missing in Malibu...

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-19/detectives-asking-for-publics-help-finding-new-york-man-missing-in-malibu

The world is NOT a safe place, the stars all have body guards, Empire West has 24 hour security and door men, and Malibu has security at all of the best spots, the Paradise Cove Restaurant where James Garner and Michael Landon used to hang out has 24 hour security, and Latigo Beach has 24 hour security, etc.

The stars all have body guards, Spielberg has body guards in Santa Monica at his home, everyone needs to be mindful of security.

In Malibu I had roommate who was the daughter of a Chinese General, and we had 2 security gates, and cameras, and motion detectors with spot lights, and we had 2 big dogs, and I had a gun, etc, one has to be mindful of security. Even in Malibu, and Topanga, etc, one has to be mindful of security.

Bambu, watch the movie "American Graffiti" by George Lucas, it is about his youth in Modesto cruising, Lucas is great, and cruising has been brought back, on Lancaster Blvd, Sunset Blvd, Anaheim Blvd, Van Nuys Blvd, etc.

Francis Ford Coppola just made a new movie, I want to see it, and I hope George Lucas can make some more movies here now that taxes have been lowered for producers, Lucas can work with the film students after they graduate, and the acting students from the AADA, etc.

And here in California guys like George Lucas dug the wells from which we drink, and Walt Disney, and Carl Laemmle, and Steven Spielberg, and Ron Howard, etc, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, and Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers. And of course out in the desert we had the famous test pilots, Pete Knight who was friends with my Grandmother, and there was Chuck Yeager and those guys.

Disneyland is investing $2 Billion into the city of Anaheim right now, all thanks to the well dug by Walt Disney, and many new jobs are being created.

Some Council Members here in Anaheim have been trying to start a "Little Arabia" here on Brookhurst, but what they do not understand is that the average home in Anaheim costs $1 million. Anaheim is not a good place for poor refugees, as the homes are expensive. The Arabs would be better off in Victoria, British Columbia, where it is cheap, and where they can do forestry work to survive. California is very expensive. My family started in New York 200 years ago, we did not just start out in California, California is for the rich people, like New York and Florida. For the poor people then there is Minnesota, and Iowa, and Nebraska, where it does not cost $1 million for the average home like here in Anaheim. You get rich, then you come to California, they need to start out some place cheaper like Mississippi, or someplace. The Arabs cannot just start at the top, they need to start at the bottom and then work their way up to the top, and then they will appreciate their hard earned success and they will understand the beauty of America.

And how did we end up with 1 million Persians in Los Angeles, and in Beverly Hills? Beverly Hills is the best spot in the USA to live, along with Malibu, how did they start at the top instead of starting at the bottom in Michigan or someplace? You cannot start at the top, and especially if they want aid and welfare, you cannot come to America and live in luxury on welfare in our best locations, they need to go someplace cheaper like Mississippi. Or they can go to Victoria, British Columbia.

The refugees need to start at the bottom, someplace cheap, and then they can work hard and rise and then they can move to a nicer place when they earn it. They must not be able to come from Iran and go straight to Beverly Hills, that is bullshit, my family has been in the USA for hundreds of years and I do not get to live in Beverly Hills, I cannot afford to live in Beverly Hills, how the hell can 1 million Persians be able to afford to live in Beverly Hills?

And now they want to have a "Little Arabia" here in Anaheim, where the average house costs $1 million, fuck that, they can go have their "Little Arabia" in Mississippi, or in Canada or someplace. You cannot come here and start at the very top in luxury, you need to pay your dues at the bottom when you come here.

If I have to start at the bottom, then so can everyone else. It is only fair. They can start at the bottom and work hard to rise to the top. And then they will appreciate what they worked hard to achieve.

Salute,

Tony V.

I lived in a Winnebago motor home for 1 year in the Desert of Lancaster, California, I owned my motor home, and I lived in an RV park for $300 per month, next to a 7-Eleven 24 hour convenience store, with 3 barbecue grills and out-door furniture. We lived like we were on vacation at the Leo Carrillo Campground in Malibu. But, some of the people were dangerous. I tried to make friends with the community, and I cooked for everyone and fed everyone and made margaritas for everyone and bought beer, etc. I could not be friends with the neighbors because some of them were bad people, so I spent time on the world wide web on my computer.

It is better to live in a nice house in Anaheim with roommates instead of a motor home in the desert. But, one can survive in a motor home in the desert.

Battle Mountain, Nevada, also has an RV park where people can park their motor homes, and they can get a job at the Colt casino.

The secret to being happy is attitude, and that goes with no matter where you live. And when I was a cook at the Colt in Battle Mountain then we had a head chef who was a retired chef from Beverly Hills, so we had Beverly Hills quality dining in Battle Mountain Nevada at the Colt. We brought the atmosphere of fine dining from Beverly Hills to a casino in Battle Mountain. We still had cheap pancakes and stuff, but we also had prime rib, and buffalo steaks, and scallops, and he used to make expensive stuffed chicken breasts, etc, we had great food.

Of note, get a spot at an RV park that has security guards. You want 24 hour security at an RV park, and even the campground at Leo Carrillo in Malibu has 24 hour security.

I am grateful for a nice apartment in Anaheim with a swimming pool, and we have tennis courts down the street at Pearson Park, and we have good markets, and nice restaurants, I just need a good wife, and I need to get my movie made that I wrote and I need to get my poetry book published, etc.

Anyhow, Bambu, I have lived in a motor home in the desert, and it is all about attitude, one can still be festive. And I rode the train to Hollywood to go to show business parties, etc.

And remember, people are more important than money, money is just a tool to help us to live better. And if you are ever desperate, then please go to a Catholic Church and ask the Priest for help. If you were here in Anaheim then people would help you, there are lots of good people here.

Bambu, people are more important than money, you are more important than money. Money is just a tool to help you to enjoy life more and to help people. You need friends, and rich neighbors who will loan you money. My best friend Tom used to run out of money every month, and I used to loan him money for the essentials like food and toilet paper to get him through the month. Then later he found a check cashing place, you give them a post-dated check and they hold the check until the first of the next month and then they cash it, so you can get the money now and they cash your check on the 1st, Vince Faragamo from the Rams football team was a part owner of the check-cashing business. And my friend Lisa was wealthy from Bananas in the Philippines. Lisa would loan me money anytime. You need to have friends. If you were my neighbor I would loan you money to get through the month. If you become desperate then please go to a Catholic Church and ask the Priest for help. You are far more valuable than money.

It is important for the good people to be at the top.

And it is good that Pope Francis has joined the G-7.

Also, Education is important, and we need to educate our people, including building more colleges in Kentucky, etc, and in Arkansas, etc.

Bambu, you are safe, follow NASA on Facebook, and Edwards Air Force Base, and follow Lockheed, etc. And be sure to get the equipment to jam and crash enemy drones.

Also, if you travel, do not fly on a Boeing plane, fly on the French planes, and wait for Lockheed to build the new planes of the future. And go to safe places like Italy, and France, and Greece. I have been to Cannes, France, and to Rome, Italy, and both countries are beautiful and safe.

I have been to Mexico, with Youth For Christ as a teen, and it was safe because I was with a whole bus full of Christians. Also, Christina Aquilera performed a concert in Mexico just last night, and Dave Mustaine and Megadeth played in El Salvador, and Shakira is from Colombia, the world is becoming safer.

In Rome I recommend the Hotel Ivanhoe on Via Urbana right by the Roman Forum, and Via Urbana is in the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" and it is an awesome area, I lived in that neighborhood for 6 weeks, my roommates were Italian soldiers from Sicily, it was great. People were all buying beers for the American, I rarely had to buy my own beer as people kept buying me beers. And they have Cinecitta in Rome, and the Vatican, Rome is great. Rome is nice and safe.

And Cannes is nice like Marina Del Rey in California. Cannes is very safe. I attended the Cannes Film Festival in 2000, and it was great, a film named "Dancer in the Dark" won the top award. I ate chicken and drank Corona beers while sitting on a famous beach in Cannes, where the women could go topless, there are famous photos of stars topless in Cannes. I love France, and I love the French people, it was like everyone in France went to Charm School, they were so nice and polite in France.

We need to educate our people, and we need to send our youth to Charm School, etc. I have a friend who lived in New York and she went to Charm School as a teen, so that is good, we need for Kentucky to send the youth to Charm School too, and Arkansas, etc.

And no one likes the image of ignorant red necks on meth with bad teeth, we need to be educated instead and we need to send our youth to charm school, etc.

We need for the kind and loving people to be at the top, and we need to have education and charm school for our people.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, you seem healthy, and you do not smoke, and you are not a heavy drinker, if you eat healthy then you can live a good long life. In Italy the average life expectancy is 83, and Sophia Loren is 89. The Mediterranean Diet is the best according to my doctor, which for me includes pizza, and chicken, and pasta, etc, and red wine, etc. And I am sure that Australia has world class health care.

And we need for cool new people to rise up and take over Iran, peaceful loving people need to take over Iran and then they can have the Persian Oil money. And Mahlagha Jaberi can do an interview and pictorial with Playboy, etc. And Muzi can do an interview with Playboy too.

Disney is investing $2 Billion here in Anaheim, blessings are on the way, things will get better in California.
