    Project Blogs:

  • The Two-Fisted Quorum: Surveying America the Beautiful, Radical Centrism, the Project Manifesto and YOU DARLING with a sweetly perfumed flower jammed up your silly relentless nostrils.
  • The Bellicose Augur: The world of life according to the world of death. Manifesting those global tensions merely hinted at in the Chainthinker section of the Project. A long stare into the short fuse of Islam.
  • Taking The Auspices: Flexing the literary muscle of the Project. Essays, poetry, correspondence, and odd assortments of anecdotal evidence of nothingness the 90s and the writer feels compelled to publish.
  • Idiotsheet Find what what makes this artist tick, as he surveys the land and its people in crisis and in conflict, in confusion, exhuberance, and fear, in psychic relay from sea to shining sea with one eye on history and another on what's next.
  • Theosplatz: In the search for God, post-modern man seems nothing more than a pesky mosquito splat against an already filthy windshield of life, a dour remnant of man's best and worst qualities. Beyond Nietzsche and Jung, we rumble forward as civilization cracks.
  • Good Reads: Sixty GT ratings, 26 shorter than short reviews, all packed into serious list of those books Gabriel still cherishes, as his grapples for more light. Some of you could do worse with your time. Browse, get inspired, read a recommended book.

    THE BEAT - After six exciting years of cranking out RADIO SCENEWASH, 24-7-365 (July 2, 2003 - August 1, 2009), not even pesky fiscal circumstances made the decision to finally pull the plug an easy choice. We salute six years of dedicated listeners. You kept us going, until the very end. So the playlist is gone, and in its place is a fun sneak peek at Gabriel Thy, his life and his artwerks...

    Ponderosa Penny Thoughts
    While timing is null, this website is a pressing account of an unwavering reality based on the fiction that man can, himself, double as a rugged self-concerned individualist AND a benevolent care-giving social arbiter after painstakingly weighing the history and futures of critical possibility, presumably best represented in Eugen Rosenstock's famous utterance in defiance of Kant, "I am an impure thinker." Existentialism and metanomics are revisited as prime novelist Gabriel Thy continues work on his everbulging manuscript presently dubbed - Weights and Measurements.

    2006    		 So many times in history in the last 100 years, citizens have stood by and done nothing allowing evil to prevail. As America stood up against and defeated communism now it is time to stand up against the terror of religious bigotry and intolerance. I urge you to become an ACT activist and join a growing network of Americans concerned about securing their nation from acts of terrorism.

    2006    		 Whether America is yearning for another General George S. Patton or a Sergeant Alvin C. York to cook up some patriotic warfare, we damn well ain't waiting for another Rip van Winkle or Emperor Nero. It's time to correctly assess the enemy, and no, it's not us, Pogo.

    2006    		 A second look at an old essay that still seems relevant, although in a completely different way. Stay tuned for news concerning Gabriel's new DC studio space.

    2006    		 MySpace. The Class of 1984 Reunion. From the jawbreaking impact DC school of punk & hardcore players and placaters, that is. What's left of them. Old hands, new bands. Aging but still agile (sort of). Come meet that season of friends and feckless fiends still on the musical prowl.

    2006    		 (Ignorance And Virtue Suck) On The Same Straw. An exhibition of new work by Gabriel Thy: 20 new paintings and drawings on display from Friday, February 3 - February 24 at MOCA DC in Georgetown. Also, signing his new book.

    2001    		 Coming clean. In supporting America I am not going quietly into this good night. Rhetoric is a way of ordering one's values, organizing our hearts, and maybe, just perhaps, our minds.
