A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Internet

Clowns can be funny and quirky! Sometimes the world is funny and quirky too!
A funny thing happened to me yesterday.As fictional hoboclown,Flash Mc Cool,
I often wander about seeking clues to the real meanings of Life.Sometimes, I
trod,slip on banana peels and get in over my head. Yesterday,was one of those days!

Midway into my quest to experiment with the Facebook Internet to find new friends, I was
suddenly overwhelmed and besieged by an international band of clowns (around the
globe). I  was "messaged" by clowns from : Germany, Brazil, Mexico,Cebu,Italy,
India and many other regions that I never heard of. While struggling to answer the
"messages",I received a big boost from the Facebook  "Translation" option .I had never really used
"Messenger" before and must have erred in activating this option.I did not want to disappoint
those who wanted to communicate with me and used the slow "translation" option to do so.
Of course, my messages were brief  because so many people wanted to befriend me in such a short order of time. I had a "message" waiting list of 53 people trying to converse. Some clowns probably hung up after waiting too long.I apologize to them. Those who got through wanted some answers that I had to research.

One Doctor (clown) invited me to come visit his hospital in Rio de Janeiro where he performs Dr. Clown
activities.He told me I would enjoy the experience and referred me to his group, Trupemiolomole.org, after he gave me his brief description of the essence of a clown,
    
"being a clown is not easy. It's only if you fantasize, place your face and say "I'm a clown." there is a study and a whole job before being a clown. we must maximize who we are, put ridicule out... to use shyness, fear, joy, sadness, ... and God teaches us from the most unusual ways to love our neighbor the way we are and who does not even know us. purely through a smile, through a look with a red nose.
 ....Being  a clown is not easy.It's only if you fantasize,place your face and say I AM A CLOWN.There is
a study..."

I looked up the doctor and on his website he had posted a beautiful  "Pablo Taveres quote" on the essence of a clown,

"me and my buttons

The world in crisis, the country a mess, but don't cling to excuses: no one can erase the brightness of your eyes.

This world is very boring, very gray, many virtual judges and much envy being distilled.

Each one running after his lonely projects, building walls and copying that has worked.
Copies and more copies.

You lose the opportunity to do something amazing, original, from people to people.

Nobody changes the world being a copy of someone else.

I think it's time to change course.

You will realize that you are the size of your dream and how much more you share with someone what before was only yours, instead of sharing, the dream multiplies: more dreams, more dreamers and the speech changes:
Not me now.
Now it's us!

If one day they call you crazy, because you see where there is not yet and dream beyond the account, my advice is: do not give up because you are probably already on the right track.

Sometimes it's gonna look like it's not gonna work out, but it just does.
Aim for faith and paddle.
Paddle di cum strength and in front we meet.

Speaking of date, whatever you need, count me in.
I'm just a dreamer.
Shall we dream together?"


As I was retrieving the aforementioned quotes,there were 55 friend requests on my site.I will get back to them as soon as I complete this blog. As you can gather by the foregoing quotes, clowns are special people,or 'messengers'  designed to impact the world in a beneficial fashion. Not bad insight  after slipping on a  banana peel...

Flash Mc Cool's Clown Identity

Fans often ask, " What kind of clown is Flash Mc Cool ?"  Well, from this horse's mouth,
Flash Mc Cool is a North American  fictional hoboclown detective created to serve solely
as an internet-blogging and  film character clown.In his film presentation,Flash is portrayed
as  1/2 cartoon and 1/2 human .His on-camera facial-mask,  ambulation and expressions are cartoonish.

 Flash does not do live shows, although the public may  occasionally see the Cosplay( three-dimensional costumed) comedian representation of the fictional internet character.He does not do birthday parties, circus performing  nor  similar  clowning events.

While Flash Mc Cool is primarily digital (internet,film or cell phone) there may be some comic
print representations  (or photos) of  him with attendant  blogs or story-lines.

If you were to have a conversation with Flash Mc Cool, it would be tantamount to having a
conversation with your imagination ( in which everything is possible !)



Most  traditional clowns have  interesting and colorful historical and international  cultural origins. You can read about these at the following link,

A Little Known History of Black American Ghettos

In my on-going trek for meaning and understanding of difficult topical matters,I
happened on a great read for understanding the urban history and  inner-city
problems of the Black community. More and more,I learn how multiple generations
of  americans are unaware of the impact of  historical US governmental policies upon
the contemporary problems in american society today. A lot of youth today are unfamiliar
with the relevant histories as they and their parents were not taught about them. Learning
about relevant histories of US governmental policies strengthens  today's students, young-adult
and adult  leaders as they are bombarded daily with internet accounts of  social justice matters.


 The 'great read' was a New York Time Article re-published in The Sunday Tribune April 1,2018 about the
death of Arnold R. Hirsch (69) . Writer,Sewell Chan, described Hirsch  as, "a historian whose
landmark study  of Chicago documented the role of  government policy in creating highly segregated
African-American ghettos during the mid-20th century..."

Fictional hoboclowns  occasionally wander aimlessly looking for something that piques their interest!
Well, the following links are  very informative and worthy of sharing,

Black American Iconic Houses ?

Yesterday (April 1,2018) ,I was the proverbial  'fool' as expected for a fictional hoboclown detective. Today,
I transform to the fuzzy-eyed fact-finder,looking for clues for 'whatever'. Well, today's 'whatever' focus is on
two Black American Iconic  Houses. The houses  are in two different cities and states.Both are part of
the legacies of two iconic Black American Civil Rights figures.One house is remembered with a historical
designation and the other 'not so' . There are many familiar historical (documented) inconsistencies in the United States of America. Peering through my magnifying glass does not always reveal the subtle reasons for
inconsistencies in the 'whatever'.You would think that  the legacy of two Black Civil Rights icons would be
on 'equal footing'  in terms of their worth and  legacy value.However,one house was termed as, "...simply not a human interest story" and " an unimportant blip  in the timeline of her life here in Detroit". The niece of the  female iconic Black American Civil Rights figure would," ...like for this house to have a home.This is a story that's a larger part of American history.It cannot be overlooked".

I will lend my magnifying glass to any reader who wants to help this niece out.Go ahead, click on  the
following two articles at the links below to read about the issues and  take up  an appropriate  course of action.As for me, I am going to my cave house and home to read about your courses of action and the outcome...
