The thoughts and visions I cannot start
Another night, spent apart
Torn, and damaged
Lovelorn and famished
Just desperate for a piece
Of paradise.♥
Welcome to my shop. Let me cut your mop. The name is Kevin Barber. I hope you will feel free to read my thoughts on pretty well anything going on in the world today - inside and outside my head. So pal, how do you like it?

Big Pants
If you think you know who runs the show, I'm betting you might be suprised.
There is little to be gained on my part to make my case, other than I fail to see any holes in what my logic - and appreciable gut - have told me for years.
Please humor me - and invest the following evening taking some simple notes while watching television.
Although TV is far from the sole media choice available, its relevance and experience is unquestionable for this experiment.
Beginning at the beginning of your regular TV time - (be it one half hour, or 12 hours - it matters not), - take a single sheet of paper - or a data device if you wish - and record the following basic information.
Well, there you have it. Take it from someone with a media background, a stint at a very, very large market research company - and a lifetime love affair with the set. Nothing - I mean nothing gets the green light until it is researched six ways to Sunday. Slippery numbers and soapy toads aside, it's always a matter of who CONTROLS the money. In a capitalist society - one needs only to follow the money to see who has the power.

- Who is being targeted in the ad? Or in another context - which member of your family does that ad look like, speak to, make look strong and powerful?
- What type of product is being shilled? Does it involve a large - or a small amount of money to buy?
- Is anyone being demeaned or insulted in any way? Again, which member of your family does that person most resemble?

Foot Volume/Foot Size
The harpist who doesn't harp
The advocate who speaks soft
The breeze and the shade
The connection made
Speak volumes
Without trying
Too hard
