I placed an ad promoting a Long-Beach-Arts.org reception for ONE day 7/17/7/18 at a $50 budget cap.  While on my NJ FB account I noticed the ad on July 25th!  When I logged in to see my stats, I saw I was being charged over $500, sometimes even $64 for one day...

Facebook then deleted my Long Beach, CA FB account do to "suspicious activity."  I was to fill out their form that popped up INCLUDING my credit card number?  Yeah, right!

Facebook when you read this, email me at theprimespot@aol.com or call the cell phone number I entered onto the form.

I want this resolved immediately!

When you reinstate my Long Beach, CA page the way it was I will take down all of the posts I'm making about my ad dispute...

I LOVE learning about the web and how it work/applies to (most importantly WITH Long Beach).  As you know, I have a website ALL about Long Beach (or so I thought!)

Of course I don't really write about the m ean and u gly.  <- As a matter of fact, I chop up negative words or don't use them at all so people SEARCHING for the me an and u gl y won't find this site when they SEARCH FOR IT!

Another example:  Not sure if the word d rug is used on my site.

HOW PEOPLE FIND THE PRIME SPOT

They either learn about the site from a post I make online, they input the website directly because they keep seeing ThePrimeSpot.com -> ThePrimeSpot.TV postcards all over LONG BEACH and are finally going to check it out.

OR, they put search words into google and it pops up!

Just look at the list of phrases and names. 

Let's use some examples:  LIZA MITCHELL .  I know where that phrases comes from, I use it all of the time because LIZA (pronounced LIE za, stressing the syllable with CAPS!) is Highly Recommended by ThePrimeSpot.com for LONG BEACH STOCK video and art.

But then notice:  BIG QUINN LONG BEACH 
My guess is that although I don't have a link exchange with TANYA QUINN , she also is mentioned throughout the site but actually maybe only on video tags at this point - I am guessing when SOMEONE searched those 4 words: BIG QUINN LONG BEACH , ThePrimeSpot.com

That's okay, WELCOME TO LONG BEACH!

I have been running this site in various forms since 1999 (even earlier if you include the AOL newsletter I transfered to elist/onelist/yahoogroups <- geez, I should separate these words for hit value, brb) and I have only ATTRACTED CREATIVE PEOPLE with Goodness and Light in their hearts.

ENJOY LOCAL TV about Long Beach weekly on ThePrimeSpot.com

ThePrimeSpot.TV is the first website in Long Beach to utilize youtube's custom video players to showcase Long Beach events and news.  (M. Sherwood created the first LB player showcasing her vids).

Currently on the homepage the Long Beach Toyota Grand Prix and Roller Derby are featured... as well as "Status of Long Beach Community Television."

Scroll down past the stickam TV which changes into a LIVE WEBCAST on occasion to delve into the Grand Prix and Roller Derby World before you attend 2010 events.

Players and racers, have fun and be safe!

It's 1:20am.  I'm still waiting for my flying friends' plane to land, it took a tangent. 

I wrote a whole... BLOG on Facebook while wondering if there was a character limit.

Read on...

I started by NY's Resolution early.  Started paying a local organization that encourages volunteerism one dollar per day. 

Just to exist!

A few years ago I went through a whole 20 (or was it 30?!) hr. training to see if that's where I wanted to donate $500.  I wound up "manning" their hotline, and could expound right nowinto a Public Service Announcement  but I keep thinking about how I could surely use that $500 right now!

Is it "what goes around comes around" or "what comes around goes around?"  Either way, it GONE! (But it's bittersweet when you know your time/money has helped others.

420?  I wrote the above on facebook and it did NOT post.  Instead this message came up:
"Your status update is too long. The maximum status length is 420 characters, but it is 562 characters long."  While entertaining the thought of expanding my 420 section on ThePrimeSpot.com (so far it's a link to Marijuana Anonymous), I realized the fnal word count = my area code here in Long Beach:  562!

GEEZ, sure wish that plane would land!

I do a little, take a break, do some more.  Go to sleep, set my alarm for the middle of the night, do a little more, set my alarm again, and finally wake up naturally to sunlight.  I'm editing video, saving it, uploading it to youtube, editing more clips, etc, etc.  (I sleep during downtime, while the vids upload.  A 5 minute clip can take 20-40 mins on my computer...).

Uh huh. 
That explains the circles under my eyes and my bug eyes.

Yes, this is addicting!

Not ME - I am too "curious" to know what is going to transpire before I expire..
Naturally and pain free Ihope, like in my sleep.

AFTER I've solved the world's problems.

Seriously - I thought solving the world's problems was as
easy as placing Shirely Temple, the cutest little performer
singer of "On The Good Ship, Lollypop" in between opposing
sides to calm the fighters and end the war.


Can you IMAGINE!

I just posted this below to someone's youtube video about the Tea Party Revolt in DC.  I think public comments can be constructive - I heard on KFI640am News my idea about allowing local (Long Beach) homeless but not carless people sleep in their vehicles.  Use church parking lots, City Employee Parking Lots.  (If humans don't get enough sleep, they go crazy.  Bless Me, I have a roof over my head.  Unite And Empower those who do not - on these "city run" parking lots with port-a-potty's and security).  Anyway, enough brainstorming on that idea, this is what I think about TAXES:


Dear youtube.com/FrankStrategies:

Hey, I just responded with your Tea Party "crowd shot" video
with mine of crowds celebrating Santa Monica's 100th Anniersary.
Is that okay? 

I'd love for you to video comment back with YOUR video on www.youtube.com/theprimespotcom

I'm going to put a comment on both.  Here it is:

"LOCALIZE TAXES FOR BETTER ACCOUNTABILITY.
(Think) PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP!  Allow "tax money designation"
for the tax payer in great standing - all else goes to local infrastructure.

STAY TUNED:  One day this will make Front Page.  It's a Masterpiece, ain't it?!

Give me Feedback!

Someone who just told me alot of people in the art world think of her as a bitch but personally, if she wasn't a friend maybe she wouldn't have told me how my videos on my website appear on the computer(s) she uses.

I love constructive criticism!  This may be because I give it as well.
(PLUS unsolicited advice!)

Do you know how many people I've contacted about broken links?

The Most Important Thing You Can Ever Do For Me is TELL ME when you come across a broken link or something looks QUIRKY.   My personal email is   theprimespot@aol.com If leaving a voice message is easier:  (562) 804-5625

Thanks You in Advance ;)

This "Artist's Llight" someone wanted to give away to an artist - because the light bothered him - bothers me!  I am squinting because of the DIFFUSED REFLECTION I am receiving from this white/blue lights.

I feel light my room is lit with outdoor parking lights.

More on that later, if I have time.
I've had a HEADACHE for two days now!

More later - if I had time.

Can these lights make you crazy?

Could you IMAGINE lights affecting people's behavior?

I should look up "Light Therapy"!

I think I'll buy some lightbulbs today and see if my old lamp still works...

Actually, you didn't go anywhere.
I did!

I've been wanting to E X P A N D  on my microblog on Twitter but I never get around to it.  Maybe
I should WRITE my blog here first, THEN tweet about it's existence.  (Then I'd NEVER blog, funny how that works!)

Let me try it.

I'll blog about my newest domain name acquisition, then tweet with this URL. 

Ugh.  My website is SO fragmented still...

<!-- PodNova/55fb2c9a26ff20e7d14a71385dae7ed3 -->

I was recently attacked with questions during a local TPSradio on Live Internet TV show by TheTrueDJZ (not to be confused with Z-Trip or The REAL djz, like I was!)

They were REALLY GOOD questions - I know he had good technique when he questioned machinima moviemaker LucindaMcNary.com and her work and OMDB.us !


ANYway, I figured the 10th Anniversary of ThePrimeSpot.com "It's not a Business, it's a Pleasure!" should be a bit more Special than just a usual outing (Remember, I travel with at least 2 destinations in mind each time I leave homebase!)

SOOOOOOO, in addition to having fun in the sun (although I LOVE the rain - maybe it will!) at Shoreline Village Long Beach So California on Sunday, September 13th , I'm going to do a 2nd LIVE INTERNET SHOW sometime between 9-11pm PM that day  (subscribe to SecondSundays.com; TPSradio, is a variety show about LONG BEACH California.

Also around 9-11

I also plan to SPOTlight the music video of ZoeysTrip.com (not to be confused with TheTrueDJZ, TheRealDJZ or Z-Trip!).  Yep, the same Zoey's Trip that packed DiPiazza's when it was at the bowling alley by the traffic circle!

AND ... Picus Maximus, the band I videotaped in high definition for ThePrimeSpotTV at Barking Elf Ranch (Transportation by Power Entertainment, I crossed the Orange Curtain into San Diego County for that shoot!)  Picus Maximus' CD "The Tragedy of Johnny Patriot" is brilliant and their movie clip is surpassing all others on ThePrimeSpot.com's SAN DIEGO COUNTY page!

So stay tuned.  And connected.  To me, right here!

KaRi  - go ahead and "yelp" me
They closed my account THEN commented by
review of Charter Communications LB sounded like an "AD" for them!

PS  Keep those referrals coming!  I stumbled upon a most excellent website trying to look up the correct spelling of voyeur by googling it!) and did my own investigation:   Looking up who owns the site, googling the .com to read reviews.. and it wasn't long before I saw a porno site related to it.  Sigh!

PPS  If you can't wait until September to connect, follow me on Twitter.com/ThePrimeSpotcom and get a glimpse of me on August 23rd (huh?  visit ThePrimeSpot.com )

I just wanted to say, Thank You, LORENZO GIGLIOTTI! 

Because of YOU we don't have to stray too far from the sidewalk on Pine; because of YOU we have LOCAL wifi links at our fingertips; because of YOU Long Beach  is no longer afraid to to delve online.. LongBeachOnline has it going on!

Wishing  LenaAndLorenzo.com happiness forever!  Can I play your new song on TPSradio?!  Will you come onto Live Internet TV for Valentine's Day?!

I wrote the quote above after I learned Antonio Pedro Ruiz changed his old site so it no longer looks so much like Creativity.net - now it looks just like ThePrimeSpot.com !

The only difference is the videos - good for you, the viewers!  Unless ... I want to make his site totally redundant by replicating his TV's, ha!

(Exclude any day I skip a shower).

Okay, here it is:  You may THINK I was going to say
thanks to my higher power for waking up on this fine day
but it's not ALTHOUGH it should be!

My thought usually arises as a put shampoo in my hair,
microwave food, and drink from a can - or those funky
plastic bottles.

I think, PONDER
everyday about what causes cancer.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset.

I lost grandma to C but I know she lived a good long life.
I lost a "new" friend, but I was chosen to be there in transition.
And an ex died at age 40 from a cancer I perceive is from sex,
I always imagined there weren't enough angels to fend off
all those gals cursing him at once.

My best friend's husband got it and my card said, "It's just a matter
of time before we ALL get it, thanks for leading the way."  And I'm
very, very glad he is still with us.

Back to Cancer.

Aluminum?  Cancer in a can?

Microwave ovens?  Those things that come with a big fat warning like,
"STAND BACK IF HAVE A PACEMAKER - YOU'LL DIE"

Then I think of autism.  And how the Travolta's may have some enlightenment
on material babies crawl around on having an effect. 

Sometimes I'll think of cleaners and bug traps and insecticides and that dang
hairspray my ex would use that made me wake up tasting like I should have
a hangover because of the alcohol that traveled through  the aerosol, into the
bedroom and through my eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

Then I think how "they" should have a Master Questionaire they issue to people who have illnesses:  Did you crawl on carpet or hardwood?  What did you remember eating as a baby?  Were you canned or frozen?  (ie. vegetables)  What detergent/cleaning aids/sprays were in the house?  (Can you believe I used to wash my hands at 16 with trichloroethane to get the ink off?!) ZIP CODE (biggie I'm sure). 

There's plenty more.  But you get my drift.

It feels so GOOD to BLOG after tweeting for so long!

I feel like I'm sprinting, instead of typing a few tiny fragments in a twitter box (oh geez, I wonder if TwitterBox.com is taken?)   YES 

Will I type a text marathon?

I have so many thoughts, we'll see.  I MAY be sharing some with the LBC.
Soon!
