My Deepest Apologies to My Grandchildren, My Great Grandchildren and Maybe, Just Maybe, My Great, Great Grandchildren. I’m Sorry I Didn’t Fight Hard Enough. I Tried, I Tried So Hard. But The Greed And Ignorance By My Own Generation Defeated Those Of Us Who Fought. I’m Sorry.
Translations Below:
معذرت خواهی میکنم من به نوه من ، نوه بزرگ من و شاید، فقط شاید ، بزرگ ، نوه بزرگ من . من متاسفم من به اندازه کافی سخت مبارزه نیست. من سعی کردم ، من سعی کردم تا سخت . اما حرص و آز و جهل توسط نسل خود من شکست خورده کسانی از ما که جنگیدند. متاسفم.
Le mie più profonde scuse per i miei nipoti , i miei pronipoti e forse, solo forse , il mio grande , pronipoti . Mi dispiace che non ha combattuto abbastanza duro . Ci ho provato, ho provato così difficile . Ma l’avidità e l’ignoranza By My Own Generation Sconfitto quelli di noi che hanno combattuto . Mi dispiace.
Mes plus sincères excuses à mes petits-enfants , mes petits-enfants et peut-être , juste peut-être , mon grand , arrière petits-enfants . Je suis désolé de ne pas lutter assez dur . Je ai essayé, je ai essayé tant de mal . Mais l’avidité et l’ignorance par ma propre génération Défait ceux d’entre nous qui se sont battus . Je suis désolé.
我最深切的道歉，以我的孙子，我的大孙子，也许，只是也许，我的大，大孙子。对不起，我没打够硬。我试过，我那么努力。但贪婪和无知，被我自己代击败那些我们谁打。对不起。
Wǒ zuì shēnqiè de dàoqiàn, yǐ wǒ de sūnzi, wǒ de dà sūnzi, yěxǔ, zhǐshì yěxǔ, wǒ de dà, dà sūnzi. Duìbùqǐ, wǒ méi dǎ gòu yìng. Wǒ shìguò, wǒ nàme nǔlì. Dàn tānlán hé wúzhī, bèi wǒ zìjǐ dài jíbài nàxiē wǒmen shuí dǎ. Duìbùqǐ.
Mis más profundas disculpas a mis nietos , mis bisnietos y tal vez , sólo tal vez, mis grandes , bisnietos. Lo siento, no luchó lo suficiente . Lo intenté , me esforcé mucho . Pero la codicia y la ignorancia por mi propia generación derrotados aquellos de nosotros que luchó . Lo siento.

Cross WalkIt is a planned space that exists outdoors or indoors and is set aside for display. It is where cultivation can happen in rain or shine. The garden of humanity combines the souls of different heights, colors, textures, and fragrances to create interesting and at times delight the senses. The garden can bring enjoyment,sadness and surprise and in-spite of the manure that life throws at some, still the garden grows.

Michael Jackson Impersonator (1 of 1)While flipping burgers at McDonald’s in the early 90’s, Edward Moss was repeatedly told by co-workers and customers of his strong resemblance to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Edward likeness became his asset  leading him from the business of cardboard hamburgers to show business on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One of Edward’s first appearances as “The Gloved One” was at the old Hollywood Wax Museum. Standing at the entrance of the museum as living statue of Michael Jackson. Curious tourist would stop to take a gander at what they thought was a wax figure. As the vacationers gather for a closer look on cue a track of music would blast from the museum speakers. Startled by the music and movement, Edward would start dancing across the polished entrance of the museum to the surprise and amusement of his audience. For the Hollywood Wax Museum they sold tickets and for Edward it was the beginning to a career as a Michael Jackson impersonator.
