My name is MILENA ODA LÁSKA. Milena means lovely, Oda is in Czech - Ode and Láska is in Czech - Love. So here it is all about LOVE and PEACE. I´m a Czech writer, poet, artist, singer, all what the God of Creativity gives us for talents I love to discover;-THIS IS MY America-BLOG! I love to share it with You. This is our Universe. Follow my experiences I had on this special continent, America. Blessings on the road, I´ve chosen! /MyEuropeBlog:http://www.MilenaOda.wordpress.com
So we - me and Topalante - have a plan to cross a bit Mexico... let´s see how I will be strong. We ride on the motorcycle. One must be really strong, the whole body hurts, the whole body waves in the wind, the whole body is part of the adventure, direct outside with all surroundings, it is an ADVENTURE! On the MOTORCYCLE. I am already writing my Motorcycle Diary like Cheguevara did....
Me and Topalante started in Los Angeles and are on our way right now in Arizona, we just crossed the state!! The country of beautiful cactus!! Soon my story From the diary of the cactus collector will be published in the Lit.Magazine: Cactus Press in New York. Inspiration: Mexico!! Hola!!
Hasta la vista!!
On our way through Arizona we met a man who offered his oldie classic car from the year 1928! Made before the GREAT CRASH in the USA! Here you can see us, on the way... before we make a crash! So cool was this old car! Shall we continue in it.... we love it, the ride was quite slow, we couldn´t go on the highway, any freeway, just aside... this would be maybe 10x slower than on motorbike, but which ADVENTURE is ahaed in it!? Hm, a big question??
We look exactly like the Tintin (in Congo...) almost the same one...
or stay true to the motorcycle (yamaha) and continue to Mexico like Che Guevara??
Ok, I say a slogan used by straight edge kids. You have to stay true to what you believe in no matter what.
This is a promise, I keep to myself on my way .... on our way in America,
I want to spread our Poets Protest Manifesto, my knowledge, skills, and inspiration to commit to a life of a writer and artist on the way to the Universe!
(see my partner´s homepage about his travels http://topalante.es)
POETS´ PROTEST MANIFESTO FOR WRITERS, POETS, CREATIVE PEOPLE OF the 21st century. Manifesto for all people who are occupied with the future of human intelligence, creative spirit and abundance!
BE, MOVE, GIVE, PROTEST AND SPEAK UP!!
We call upon each of you, writer, poet - don´t sleep – see, the society has fallen into a deep, comfortable sleep!!
We call on you to:
SHAKE THINGS UP, YOU DON`T AGREE WITH, DON´T SLEEP!
DON´T BE AFRAID TO EXPRESS YOURSELF!!
DON´T BE FEARFUL TO DO!
We mean ourself too, we must be awaken!
„We are the beaten generation!“ We are beaten by the massmedias,social medias, best sellers, superstars, and growing stupidity and ignorance of people around us.
TELL US: Are your worried about your message in your work for the world?
AS WRITERS WE SHOULD SPREAD OUR MESSAGE!
We should express how we are able to spread our message, how we can move the world around us.
We speak to the writers, poets and creative people who are able to change the things in their suroundings, in their world. The small world means the big one.
WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE AND MISSION AS A WRITER IN THIS WORLD? Reflect, what are you writing about?! Do you have to serve the publisher? Do you have to serve the policy? Do you serve the degradation of the millions people? Or do you want to serve the world´s humanity? The world´s change for better?
How are you worried about the word & world? How?
To be worried about the words & world but in fact be very sleepy!? It doesn´t work efficiently!!
WE THINK:
We are too focused on ourself, on our egos!! The world became more egositic and materialistic.
Call on to Bestsellers: You are worried, if you get more interviews, if the important newspaper writes about your book (this is the real value!!), the publisher has already paid the reviewers to write about you, - this is evident – you are the best seller!! Bravo! You managed that, I respect your work, surely you love it as well!
Your ego is important, and the lust of the million people who read your erotic thriller – this is alright, people need fun, entertainment, - they need You!
Well, no! No!
Every writer must know – this is not the right, eligible literature, which keeps people awake in the brain!
Or do we allow the walk towards stupidity when we continue with such best sellers? I am afraid we already face the stupidity and ignorance... It is bad! But not bad for powerful people who like to move their direction the uneducated, dull people... Hm...
Writers, poets, artists our occupation, our goal is to change the thinking and change the spirit!
YOU MUST AWAKE people, because they have fallen assleep with the bestsellers like erotic thrillers etc...
POETS, WRITERS, KEEP THE 99% AWAKE!!
FIGHT AGAINST THE SPREADING STUPIDITY, CONFORMITY, AGONY AND LETHARGY!!
Take care about our world, take care about the world around you!!
Use the power of your words!!
Express yourself!
Express the pain, express the loss of the lost people, of the 99%!
We show the light out of the tunnel, we are here for the 99%, to show them how to wake up!!
Don´t serve daily the 1%!
Be awake! Be here! Be more!
PROTEST!
Our words, writers, poets, must quake people!!
Our words, writers, poets, must shake the dead cells of the brain!
Our words must be more powerful than the power of the powerful people, the 1%.
Our words must motivate, not to fall asleep into ignorance and agony, again, or forever!
Writer, poet we call upon you, do more for people, not only for your ego!
Do more for our planet!
Do more for your selfconciousness, you are not alone here!
Move your ass!
Move your brain!
Move sleepy people – the right direction to change the world for better!!
Give people power through your words!!
Give people a new hope!
Give people your education!
Give people the clarity about our world!
Writers, poets, be more than the best seller!!
Writers, poets, creative people start now to manifest the new change for our planet, for our world!
It is our – maybe last – chance to change the old, outworn, bored society, don´t slack off, don´t fall asleep !
NOTICE – REFLECT – DO NOT COMPROMISE – HOLD ONTO THE INNER STRENGtH - EMPOWER YOURSELF AND THE OTHERS AND TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE CHANGE!!
Do it now!
Manifest! PROSTEST!
I am a writer not a fucking best seller and I want to create and care about our world!
Be a writer, not a fucking best seller - who counts money, „likes“, „friends“ and fame andbe a creative mind who loves to spread the message!!
We must care about our world, planet and our life here!
NOW!!
This is our protest manifesto and you who agree with us, please send it further, spread the word and give us a sign, you agree…

June 24th we, Topalante.es /see his homepage http://topalante.es/ and me left Jeff´s House, it is like a home, with very kind people around, Jeff and Rebeka, the owner were there to help us, to leave safe and without worries NYC. More people were there with us. They were excited with us!! I was very excited, also a bit nervous... I haven´t so much experience on a motorbike, but I am a traveler. And as a child I loved it when my father took me to the Stara Paka´s Hill on his motorcycle, sitting in front of him... OK, now I am older but the child remains in me!! From Queens Village we headed through the rest of Queens, Bronx, passed the wonderful Washington bridge... and direction Pennsylvania! Topalante, the rider crossed the whole Europe, Russia till the South Korea, and then USA - from San Diego to New York City, from NYC to Key West. He knows driving very well... I can rely on him, he can also on me, I don´t give up, even it is quite though to sit behind too... but it is also somehow a joy I want to share with him.
We arrived to Pensylvania! William Penn came 1671 into the SILVANUS- in Latin: Forest and "founded" the countrx...! It is the state of independence - the state of Amish People -about them you can read on my blog here )in German) - Appalachian Mountains, Battle of Gettysburg, Pittsburg, beautiful lake areas...etcetera.
