Thank you Readers: October 2022 Blogging for over 10 years!

 Hello local, national and global readers. Just a quick post hello to thank everyone! I've been blogging for over 10 years now and appreciate all the new media platforms that offer a space/place for our voices.

                                   Blogger/Poet Delores Fisher  (Summer 2022)

I still perform in the community, serve as a public speaker at events, and present at conferences as well as blog about various entertainers and events. Here's a blast from the past 2018  Hope For Hait fundraiser review: https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/black-student-science-organization-at-sdsu-hope-for-haiti-benefit-2018/  

The BSSO Hope For Haiti event, was organized by new Black Student Science Organization president, Miyu Oda-DesHotels . The Hope For Haiti yearly event is a fund drive that directly helps to improve the quality of life for those struggling to recover from weather/climate and geological catastrophes that have impacted the people of Haiti for the last several years http://www.bsso.org/BSSO/About_Us.html     

This year's fund raiser returned live to Montezuma Hall. (More about the 2022 program in a later "catch up" blog post. 

Below is one of the 2012 photos from the humanitarian outreach program sponsored by the BSSO (Black Student Science Organization) at San Diego State University.

Blogging is quite like other forms of essay or  script writing for streaming. Like most writers, we old school bloggers have our productive weeks and our weeks of writer's inactivity. We struggle with what to include in our content. Pop culture in America is still very much "the changing same" as Amiri Baraka and others have historically stated.

Twitchcon San Diego was here last week and I had the opportunity to converse briefly with Vloggers/streamers about Internet posting and some of its rewards as well as challenges.

My point of view on life seems to have been altered by the continuance of multi-level dynamics generated by COVID  and other diseases. Socio-political chaos is global--few if any nations are immune. Devastating global climate events sprawl over Earth's terrain like broken scab oozing with pus and pain. Humanity continues to teeter among islands of despair, denial, recovery, and resilience. . . Time will tell what legacies will be recorded and preserved for future generations.

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan.  The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of  1st and B street. It was moved to  the corner of  then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/   now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!!

Jellyfish around San Diego Embarcadero and Broadway Pier

             Delores Fisher Blogger on an early Morning stroll Jellyfish are visiting the San Diego CA. Broadway Pier and Embarcadero again. Jellyfish appeared to swarm in this same area in 2012. Although I posted about the Black Nettle Jellyfish in July 2012, this was the first time since that year that I have seen any type of jellyfish in such numbers at the pier. http://carpenoctum2.blogspot.com/2012/08/black-sea-nettle-jellyfish-at.html   However, multiple sightings of similar and other jellyfish have increased since 2012. Several have been posted on youtube. 2015 has been an odd weather year for San Diego with heat and odd rainfall days (despite our drought). It is possible that temperature shifts are part of the reason why jellyfish are in our bays and near our beaches.  Our October weather has been unseasonably hot this early fall, similar to temperatures during earlier 2015 seasonal sightings.  Shannon Handy reported on a North County swarm of Sail jellyfish in May.
