Ruby James needs a helping hand

You may or may not be aware that Ruby James just completed her new album in Austin, Texas with the legendary Charlie Sexton. This project started about three years ago, and at that time we were simple calling it "The Austin Sessions". The album is now called, "Happy Now" and is sitting at the printers as I write this message to you.

As the holiday season approaches us we sometimes forget about what is happening in the rest of the world. Comfortable to snuggle in with friends and family, drink a little too much eggnog and eat just a few too many cookies. We look at the lights that decorate our own little neighborhood, put up our trees and shop for gifts. It can be both a festive and a stressful time of year. There are some of us that wait until the last minute to shop and some of us that are totally ready three days before Thanksgiving. As you think about gifts for the holidays I would like to encourage you to reach a little deeper this year.

The economy has affected all of us. Now I am getting to that "rest of the world" statement I made in the previous paragraph. The music industry has been affected. Musicians have been affected two fold and three fold. There are no more artist development deals from labels really, or they are few and far between. It is truly a "do it yourself" industry with Independent Artists barely able to survive. Sometimes you get lucky and you find someone to invest in your career, to help you move to the next level. Sometimes great talents lay hidden because they cannot reach their target audience because they lack the funding to do so.

Ruby James is one of those. Just a few short days ago the economy threw us for a loop. The investor that had been helping us to get to the next level withdrew his backing. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Ruby, or that she could make it, it was simply the stock market. He no longer had the funds to go forward. Without the funding Ruby has a webpage, (www.rubyjames.com) that is under construction and cannot be finished, though you can still shop there and pre-purchase "Happy Now" and buy her "Desert Rose" album. There are other expenses that cannot be met, albums at the printers, mailings to media. Without funding it is possible that this album, will set on a shelf only to be heard by a few people that have pre-ordered it.

So for this holiday season, if you have read this far into this message, I am reaching out to you. Asking you to purchase one more gift. The gift of a dream. Your gift does not have to be large, it can be as small as just a dollar because every cent counts. You can visit Ruby's webpage and purchase her music, or if you already own it, you can contribute through a contribution at this webpage: http://rubyjames.chipin.com/my-album-release

Give as much or as little as you can. Each and every contribution will be seen by Ruby herself. Every time someone clicks the link above and makes a contribution it will come across her email. She is making a long trek across the desert today and what a wonderful thing for her to see that people really do care, about her, about music and the spirit of giving. So that you may in part see what you are helping to bring alive I am sending you the video link for, "The Predictable Kind", a song that Ruby co-wrote with Will Sexton. I hope you enjoy it and that you have a Happy Holiday Season.

THE METAL OX

Metal Ox people work harder and more scrupulously than most people, including other Oxen. They always show a boldness and drive and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Like all Oxen, they are completely trustworthy and dependable, but they are not ones to display their emotions freely or openly. These Oxen have the strength of steel, with a will to match. Often, this strength and ruthless will make it difficult for them to identify with the feelings of others around them. However, an Ox is always willing to defend what he knows to be true and won't give up until he has proven what he knows to be true.

SCORPIO OX

Determination and strong will characterize the Scorpio Ox. These Oxen will strive and do whatever they must in order to reach their goal. They are intense lovers, but you'll never be able to read their emotions because they keep them tucked away.

Though they are quite open-minded, once Ox people have made a decision about something, they rarely change it. This is a defining characteristic that can be seen as obstinacy, but it is actually the way an Ox learns to be strong, brave and straightforward.

Me thinks my wheels are spinning.......LOL

3041-3045 These question is for the guys

You are at her home with her. Both of you have drank a little wine, enough to loosen the inhibitions while not getting tipsy. You have snuggled on the couch and it's a good time for bed. You've been romantic, but you've not made any big moves on her. You're not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if she's in the mood.

She goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable... When she returns she is wearing an outfit that looks great on her and you notice that she has her hands tied in front of her, with a scrunchee...

She stands in front of you and giggles nervously. You search for words to express how you feel, but before you can get any words out she gets on her knees in front of you and reaches out to hold your hand with both of hers. Your eyes find hers...

3041. How do you react to this?

3042. What message do you think she is sending?

3043. What do you do next?

3044. Is this a good way for her to approach her fantasy with you?

3045. If not, what would be a better way for her to approach you about wanting to be controlled during sex (consider that just outright talking about it might be hard for her)?

You've been romantic, but you've not made any big moves on him. You're not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if he's in the mood.

He goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable... When he returns he is wearing an outfit that looks great on him. He sits next to you. You kiss and kiss. You move your hands down his body to his chest and start unbuttoning his shirt but he stops you and whispers seductively.. 'A good slave unbuttons them with her teeth.. and you do want to be my slave, don't you?'

3046. What do you do?

3047. How do you react to this?

3048. What message do you think he is sending?

3049. Is this a good way for him to approach his fantasy with you? Hahaha not in this life time….but I do know a few great girlfriends who would be his type….:0P

3050. If not, what would be a better way for him to approach you about wanting to be in control during sex (consider that just outright talking about it might be hard for him)?

I think someone would have to shoot me if it was my daughter….where do men come up with these sick ideas?

Some of the pictures are a breast, a penis, a urinal, open heart surgery, a woman sucking on a vacuum tube, etc. On the back of each picture is a phrase like 'Fuck you and all of your lesbian fish eating friends' or 'people who speak in metaphors oughtta shampoo my crotch'. The artist asks each person to take a random card, go around the room and at their turn hold up the card with the picture side out and read the phrase on the back.

Would you do it? Nope

How would you feel about it? I think it would be degrading

What do you think the artist's intent is? Haven’t a clue, but just because it is one person’s art, does not make it mine, nor does it mean I have to be a part of that art project. I would take the bad grade and sit it out.

3096. If everyone were flying flags and putting up yellow ribbons in honor of the people who died in a war and someone put up black bows and ribbons all over the top of their house what would you think?

little mornings: I love these quiet little mornings sitting outside watching the humming birds buzz around me as I sip on hot peppermint tea and sketch. You can hear the laughter of the neighbors kids playing in their yard. The dogs are barking at some turkey crossing through the yard out of their reach, Chipmunks scamper back and forth from one hole in the ground to the next. Sometimes running up to my feet to grab a mouth full of sunflower seeds and walnuts that I am snacking on.

spiritual machines: Yes I try to avoid these creatures out to save the world from all it’s evil. They see sin everywhere they look but their own back yard, we see them on TV screaming from the pulpits while they have their hands in your pockets to pay for their lavish rich styles…the expensive manicures and huge diamond rings on the wives hands…I much prefer chatting face to face with a country preacher in a thread bare sweater, than watching the spiritual machines on the TV.

eccentric being: a dear old soul whose drummer still beats a different marching tune from the rest of the worlds

pray attention: pay attention now at the end of my patience with you
