sMiLes.. my friend as i come back
for another response in words..
it is always a pleasure to
visit you heaR
my friEnd
alWays so
inspiring with
The Beauty of Nature
And Love and Wisdom
too of Whippets too.. now
i must say “LioN KinG SHoW
MusT Go oN 2017” is a bit Heavy
on Photos and Broad Band need too..
And actually the current effort celebrating
8000 Miles of Public Dance in 48 months even
has 8 videos of Public Dance too hehe.. so many
historical life changing events in the last few weeks..
so many in fact i’ve made a special 10 MacroVerse
event since the 1.82M Word Bible Poem too as
“Nether Land Bible 2017” reaches 2 Million
Words in the next Dance Celebration
associated with a 6 Month Record of
Dance at Old Seville
Quarter in Joyous
Dance Smiles
too that will be
named “EQUiNoX FaLL DancE
CoMeS AGAiN 2017”.. after that
i am hoping to get back to publishing
smaller word and photo effort MacroVerses
twice a week.. as this just came on like it does
as creativity flows deep within.. anyway that 10th
MacroVerse will probably come around the 23rd of
September or so and the Dance Celebration one
for 8000 miles perhaps as soon as this weekend too..
but for now heHe.. “LioN
KinG SHoW MusT Go oN
2017” Still Reigns
And whether or not
your broad band permits
a visit for that size of an effort
or not the pleasure is always
mine again to visit you heAR.. my FriEnd.. Xenia..:)

I brought humorous weird experimentation to the bar. And a whole lot of laughs. Trust me. 🙂 It’s funny in a nonsensical way of how society idolizes celebritism.
