Jazz Review on Dancing On The Wide Eyed Edge

Jazz Album Review
Dancing On The Wide Eyed Edge
By Leslie Sharp

When Leslie Sharp came meandering into my world a number of years back I was taken aback by her appearance. She looks like wise women out of a mystical novel. Or she could be a gunslinger who in the old west would catch you off guard by her small size and weathered look, then shoot your scalp off your head and blow the smoke from her pistol as you looked on in disbelief. However, don’t even try to attempt to understand her musical skill until you hear how this soul of women can compose music and then dish it out in on fast draw of her piano.

For those of us drawn to jazz there’s something haunting about jazz which haul's you into uncharted dimensions and leaves you there until the song is done. Then it brings you back and slams you into your chair of life and allows you to wake up just in time to clap and be grateful.

This is what I found in the new album called Dancing On The Wide Eyed Edge. What adds to this albums flavor is the trumpet and the way it fits tightly into the arrangements. Leslie’s ability to hit some notes surprises me again and again. Even if I can do without the echo chamber effects in vocals, in this arrangement it works to create a feel that kept me listen from track to track.

If you are drawn to good music and want to help a jazz musician who’s out there in the clubs earning living buy this CD and her two others… I love it.

The Joys And Burdens Of Being Perpendicular

I was rolling from one yoga pose to another, it was time to do a headstand. Once my hands are firmly planted on the floor and beside my ears, I thrust my trunk up and gingerly stabilize my body onto the back of my up turned elbows. With one last burst of energy I propel my pelvis and legs right up into a mind twisting perpendicular position.

The crushing burden of the law known as gravity began arresting every firing neuron in my brain, as my mind attempts to coddle my soul, saying things like " now your head can enjoy a few seconds of what your feet endure 24/7.

At this point I keenly become aware of my 160 pound body and it's impact on mother earth--times seven billion other people who're now registered to be standing on her surface.. This doesn't include mountains, trees, beast and cars, trains and currently flying planes.

By the time I've finished enduring the massive burden of my weight that gravity is pushing down on me like a trash compacter must feel to cardboard boxes being smashed, I've entered into a mindfulness of sympathy for mother earth. I am done with this pose and more aware of my joy of being standing on my own two feet in a fresh and joyful perpendicular position.
So let it be know the joy's and burdens of being perpendicular are subjective.

THE GREEN

                                   THE GREEN
Stars Jason Harner, Cheyenne Jackson, Julia Ormond and Illeana Douglas

                           A Movie Opinion About
                                     The Green

This movie is about post-marriage equality, about small town minds, it’s got a fabulous twist at the end and plenty of emotional power to keep you fixed to the screen the whole times your watching it.

All throughout the movie you want to bitch slap the lead man, but in the end you just admire him for his shortcomings.

The acting by all is polished and engrossing. I give the film two thumbs up.

Check out the trailer THE GREEN

A edited version from a clinet who wanted me to help her son.

There are many who walk, talk and live amongst us who have their wires crossed.

There are billions of these wires running our mind/soul. The mind/soul is in symbiotic relationship. When the mind/soul's wires are crossed over and connected improperly, it caused a sad mind/soul and a reckless attitude toward life in general.

If  you want  to get a life of fabulousness, then you'll have to begin to rewire and establish a relationship with the abundant source buried deep with in you, which is constantly attempting to be heard. However, when you're this deep into depression the mind/soul saddens as well and the whole world looks bleak.

I hear the cry of   people in trouble, but can I help---I sincerely don't know.

The work I do is huge....it is huge because it's between me and my client.

Between the two magnificent earthlings. My clients and I get stuff done which would make peoples head spin.

What I would suggest is everyone who is down in the dumps should due diligence and seek council.

I know between a person who's hurting and their need to get help, someone is here to do just that.

 Now get busy!

A Vegan Thought On Thanksgiving 2011

Vegan Thought on Thanksgiving 2011

I look forward to the day when blood doesn’t have to spill for mankind to celebrate a special day.

Of the 300 million turkeys killed each year 45 million are killed for Thanksgiving and their blood runs into our rivers and oceans. Their burnt bodies might lay upon our tables, but their blood runs back to haunt us in ways, which won’t bare their identities, but will have their carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids. (based on John Killebrew 1976)

People sit amongst one another with some little bird (about 12-22 lbs) sitting midst a table where earthlings bow their heads and give thanks. Ironically death is what most Americans fear to talk about most. Yet see----center stage a dead bird, which you’re about to fork and place onto your palate?

Later as the power source of the bird reaches your blood system and release it’s L-Tryptophan. At this point you’ll lose all your energy and collapse onto recliners and coaches all over this country in an attempt to forget the struggles of your current affairs. Only to later wake and walk down to your oceans and rivers to have a smoke and see your ocean and rivers is all blood red and the beauty, which once was glamorous, is now forlorn.

Happy Thanksgiving 2011

Vegan Shampoo Review: Aubrey Camomile Luxurious Volumizing Shampoo is by---far-- terrible! I was out of a shampoo and the shampoo I've grown to like was not available at the Sprouts market that night. I was forced to make a new pick. The one I chose that fateful day was this one from the Aubrey line, which said it was Vegan. Late that night after buying said product I went on line and there were some opinions doubting if the product was vegan...hum?

This product left my hair flat every-single-bloody-time. No good day's with this stuff. After having a dozen shampoos experiences and hoping it would get better, so I wouldn't waste my money, I was forced to quite, while I was a flat head of hair.

When I revisited the Sprouts where I brought it from, I talk to the cool lady in charge of this department. She had the same experience I did, BAD.

So do your self a favor and try something better such as my current number one fav Alba Shampoo or the one I just bought which is doing a fine job Desert Essence Organics  both of these shampoos are Vegetarian and do a fine job.

Use products that don't use animals and you'll look even better and feel better

thumbs down!

Film Review

Sometimes it’s just so wrong, I have to see it. That what happened watching the film by Aluizio Abranches,  From Beginning to End a movie about two brothers who are madly in love with one another. Albeit, their half brothers (same mom, different dad) I was intrigued from the beginning to the end.

It stirred up with in me the moral question, “how can this be okay between these men”? Well I began to learn just how as I watched this impressive film. The acting was fabulous and the writing was smart.

I found my self fascinated by the sets and colors. Mostly all shades of blue and whites used in all sorts of way’s. From water to wall covers.

The story is fabulous and the men are absolutely beautiful. Who could blame em?

The crazy story gets two thumbs up from me

Peace out

Drafting men over 60  ----
This is funny & obviously written by a Former Soldier-

I am
                    over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track
                    down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the
                    military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead
                    of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us
                    old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit
                    until you're at least 35.

For starters:
                    Researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10
                    seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a
                    day, leaving us more than 28,000 additional seconds per day
                    to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven't
                    lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a
                    dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired
                    and hungry' We are impatient and maybe letting us kill some
                    asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel
                    better and shut us up for a while.

An
                    18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 a.m. Old
                    guys always get up early to pee so what the hell. Besides,
                    like I said, 'I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm
                    already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical
                    son-of-a-bitch.


If captured we
                    couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put
                    them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real
                    brainteaser.

Boot camp would be easier for old
                    guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're
                    used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for
                    guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get
                    out of the house, away from the screaming and
                    yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle
                    course however. I've been in combat and didn't see a single
                    20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever
                    do any pushups after completing basic
                    training.

Actually, the running part is kind of
                    a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a
                    bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world
                    ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start up a
                    conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out
                    that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the
                    back of his head.

These are all great reasons
                    to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life
                    before sending them off into harm's way.

Let us
                    old guys track down those dirty rotten coward terrorists.
                    The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple of
                    million pissed off old farts with attitudes and automatic
                    weapons who know that their best years are already behind
                    them.

How about recruiting Women over 50 ....
                    in menopause! You think Men have attitudes! Ohhhhhh my
                    God!
If nothing else, put them on border patrol....
                    They'll have it secured the first night!

Tell Your Body How Much You Love It.

Each and every thought you birth has a vibration connected to it. When you look your self in the mirror and stare into your beautiful warm eyes, tell your self " I love you (your name) Camber Hill and I respect everything about you".  You've now managed to create a positive and dynamic shift of energy, matter and the vibrational hang-over from you having stated this powerful and rich thought will have a fabulous roll out into your day.

Today fabulous things are happening to you..

Love, 
Camber

Hint on meditation success

 It's worth mentioning, when you sit to meditate for 10 minutes or more,  ask the earth below you to help calm your mind. The earth will be more than happy to help.Your life just got better!

A Beautiful Butterfly Blessed Me With Her Gentle Touch.

Gary, a retired Marketing and Public Relations consultant called me to give his professional opinion of CamberHill.com and Think Fabulous. ( with out my solicitation ) He expressed these points. 1. I have an talented team of people working on my behalf, however, he thinks I need to employ a P.R. and or Marketing firm to package my said products.

He felt I could fill a LAX Holiday Inn salon at $95.00 per head, for a 5-6 hr seminar. Here I'd teach about spiritual insights to building a happy and healthier lifestyle and give fabulous information on nutrition.

He wanted me to seriously consider using my status of Reverend to up sale my credentials. I've had my ministry lic. since 2008, but rarely bring such a fact up...but I'll entertain all sensible ideas.

After this phone call, which I must admit had me thinking 100 mph, I stepped out into 79 degree weather to walk Sasha ( my Bernise Mountain dog) For one moment I stopped to allow her to pee on my neighbors lawn, when I saw the shadow of two butterflies dancing in the wind above my head, and just then one butterfly landed on my ThinkFabulous polo hat. I stood perfectly still to make sure it wasn't an illusion. To my grand surprise she was sitting and waving her beautiful wings on top of my head. I gently brought my arm up to remove my hat and stare her in the face, but she flew away.

Be kind and the world bows to meet our grace.

What Jack LaLane and Camber Hill Have In Common

I had four things in common with the legendary guru of fitness, Jack LaLane.

1. Jack passed away  Sunday, January 23rd 2011 at his home in Morrow Bay, California. In 1979 I rented a shack on the beach in Morrow Bay. At the time, I was nineteen and found my self at peace living and breathing the smells of the Pacific Ocean. 

2. Jack was a vegetarian. (he had been since 1929) I’m a vegan.

3. He made a big splash here in Long Beach, California when with a rope in him mouth, he pulled something like 40 boats, as he swam. LaLane wanted to prove, being over 40 wasn’t “over the hill”. I live in Long Beach, I’m over 40 and my last name is Hill…okay those tidbit are a bit of a stretch?

4.Last but certainly not least, I’m fortunate to be friend's with Dewey Martin. Dewey Co- starred in the motion picture Big Sky, staring Kurt Douglas. Deweys been friend's with Jack since they meet on the streets in Hollywood in 1950. Jack said “Dewey and his wife were family, not just friend's”. (Dewey was once married to Peggy Lee) Today I visited briefly with Dewey and his heart was heavy with grief, but as usual he remained a pillar of pure positive energy. 

So to Jack LaLane, may you rest in peace and thanks for contributing so much to my fabulous life.

Here's a recipe for a successful day!

Prayer-Juice-Stretch-Exercise

Waking after a good night sleep, I enjoy fabulous coffee.

Then I put my prayer beads (Mala) to work.

With counts of four on the in hale and four counts on the exhale, I can go through 108 beads in 30 minutes. 

Next I put my Juicer to work:

8 carrots
5 celery stalks
1 apple
A bit of ginger pealed
Hand full of basil leaves

Pow Power

Next 30 minutes of yoga, here at home

Then 3-4 mile run along the ocean on the bike path, soaking up vitamin-D. The best bet is to soak up Vitamin-D with your arms and legs. With at least 10 minutes or more of exposure.

Now this is vibrant living.
