July 13 finely feeling age. been wanting to do some heavy blogging but nod out as i prepare or don't seems to have it any longer.
this isn't a sniffle, just a fact of old age/actually that is a good topic but a catch 22. lol October 31 Quote what is rodeo sex
Q.What is a Rodeo Sex? A.Enter in ur Girlfriend from Back, Hold her Hair, give a Good Thrust and Whisper in her ear "Ur Sister is Better than U in Bed." Now try 2 hold for 8 Seconds May 26 Remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last
night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to
cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments
with her children.
Remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who
can't make change correctly is a worried 19- year-old college student, balancing
his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans
for next semester.
And, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot
every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can
only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through
the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this! moment ,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be
the last year that they go shopping together.
Remind yourself each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the
greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold
dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all
humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy
and love.
Remember that you remembered to do this without the help of some god someone else thought up for you to follow-- you did it on your own, but, to each his own, or, c'iet la vie.
If you send this to 5 people, then you have a chance to touch 5 peopl The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered in another race and it won again.
The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in any more races.
The next day the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES THE PASTOR'S ASS.
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline: NUN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN.
The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farmer for $10.
The next day the headlines read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.
This was really too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the high plains where it could run free.
The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.
Alas .... the Bishop was buried the next day.
MORAL OF THE STORY???
Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery, even shorten your life. So, be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and you'll live longer. May 24 A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the
Stranger turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights
go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and
said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"
Oh, I don't know", said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you
a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass, the same
stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a
flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you
suppose that is?"
The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to
discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?" May 20 Vanity

For other meanings of vanity, see vanity (disambiguation). For the Wikipedia page about so-called "vanity articles", see WP:COI.
The Narcissus myth, as portrayed by Waterhouse, is a reflection on the nature of intimacy and vanity.
In conventional parlance, vanity is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others. In some religious preachings, vanity is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects God for the sake of one's own image, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of God. The stories of Lucifer and Narcissus (who gave us the term narcissism), and others, attend to a pernicious aspect of vanity.
Philosophically-speaking, vanity may refer to a broader sense of egoism and pride. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality."[1] One of Mason Cooley's aphorisms is "Vanity well fed is benevolent. Vanity hungry is spiteful."[2]
In early Christian teachings vanity is considered an example of pride, one of the seven deadly sins.
[edit]
The symbolism of vanity
"All Is Vanity" by C. Allan Gilbert, suggesting an intertwinement between life and death.
In Western art, vanity was often symbolized by a peacock, and in Biblical terms, by the Whore of Babylon. In secular allegory, vanity was considered one of the minor vices. During the Renaissance, vanity was invariably represented as a naked woman, sometimes seated or reclining on a couch. She attends to her hair with comb and mirror. The mirror is sometimes held by a demon or a putto.
Other symbols of vanity include jewels, gold coins, a purse, and often by the figure of death himself. Often we find an inscription on a scroll that reads Omnia Vanitas ("All is Vanity"), a quote from the Book of Ecclesiastes.[1] "The artist invites us to pay lip-service to condemning her," writes Edwin Mullins, "while offering us full permission to drool over her. She admires herself in the glass, while we treat the picture that purports to incriminate her as another kind of glass—a window—through which we peer and secretly desire her."[2] The theme of the recumbent woman often merged artistically with the non-allegorical one of a reclining Venus.
In his table of the Seven Deadly Sins, Hieronymus Bosch depicts a bourgeois woman admiring herself in a mirror held up by a devil. Behind her is an open jewelry box. A painting attributed to Nicolas Tournier, which hangs in the Ashmolean Museum, is An Allegory of Justice and Vanity. A young woman holds a balance, symbolizing justice; she does not look at the mirror or the skull on the table before her. Vermeer's famous painting Woman with a Pearl Necklace is sometimes believed to depict the sin of vanity, as the young girl has adorned herself before a glass without further positive allegorical attributes. [3] All is Vanity, by Charles Allan Gilbert (1873-1929), carries on this theme. An optical illusion, the painting depicts what appears to be a large grinning skull. Upon closer examination, it reveals itself to be a young woman gazing at her reflection in the mirror.
Such artistic works served to warn viewers of the ephemeral nature of youthful beauty, as well as the brevity of human life and the inevitability of death.
May 05 Two zoo keepers notice that katie the female Ape is experiencing some kind of depression lately since the release of her mate, a week ago.After trying to find another male Ape for weeks they come up empty handed.Tired of trying one day they decide to meet at a bar and discuss the problem.After drinking several beers, they notice a huge biker that looks like a gorilla .The two zoo keepers look at eachother, and say are you thinking what Im thinking?Well they confront the biker and offer him 500.00 dollars if he will sleep for one evening with the Ape.He agrees and the two keepers tell the biker the ape will have to wear a bag on her head so she wont recognise and possibly hurt him.He understands and later that evening enters the cage .The sheApe immediately smells the biker runs over throws the biker to the ground and starts banging him .The biker starts yelling to the keepers Please git it off!! Get it off !! So they start to pull the Ape off when the biker said No! I mean the bag !Take the bag off CAUSE I WANT TO KISS THAT April 21 My God
I am my own god and so are u. Why is it so strange to our mind set for us to
realize this fact? Could it be that we have an invisible wall created
by or common societies mores? Break down that wall only if u can handle
a different way, an open way, of thinking and living.
We’re
taught two things – regardless of where or when we’re born – and they
are: 1) there is a god and 2) we’re not it. This is put into our little
brains and bodies, day after day, often backed up with
emotional (shame/humiliation) and physical pain (beatings). That this god is often
punitive; that we don’t measure up;
and that we must be sure to please him and be sure not to annoy him is
a way found by others to control us cheaply.
Know what he wants and just comply is all that God want according to
those who want us to follow what they say, and they say, very openly,
"Give me your money." God needs it.
Yet,
this god seems to have done alright before money was ever invented!!
Open your eyes, cast down that invisible wall in enjoy your godlyness,
your life.
Our training is to live
always seeking some authority outside of ourselves: parents, teacher,
doctor, priest/minister, etc. Someone to ensure that we pause…and look
for a leader, before daring to take a step or wrap our hand around
anything or engage any self expression of life. Not daring to move
without
first checking with an authority an external reference to be sure
that it’s ok. Doing this ingrains in us (during a time in our lives
when we are totally dependent on those training us into this world
view) not to question this god or it will punish us surely. Ours is not
to ask
questions , ours is to follow instructions; to seek outside of
ourselves for the rules and the what and how to proceed. In this way,
we are
trained to appropriate behaviour in a homogenized society.
We
are also taught that there is only one. That means that the job is
taken. That means that the best we will ever be is less than that one
god. The deal is: serve and follow the direction, or die
(emotionally/physically/spiritually).
Creating
this notion of
the ‘one god’ necessitates and demands personification. Doing so then
teaches us to be amenable to following the direction of ‘one’ in
‘authority’. Without giving it this sense of a unique and powerful
being, there is nothing for us to identify with. As much as we’re
taught that this god is not like us, we make it so , and in that way
make it easier to follow political leaders blindly. It's all related.
Like something put in motion eons ago,
long forgotten by its originators and having simply become habit to all
that followed, this intergenerational habit now has a life of its own.
It will never stop….. most of it outside any kind of
conscious thought or selection. It's a one god habit, at least the ancients like the Hindus have more that one.
It's a massive
charade we play. It seems essential
to the world that we’ve created; this recognition of the need to defer to an external,
superior force. Terrified
by there theats? Such nasty consequences
if we dare to consider ourselves to be our own god. We're so
propagandized that we have an auto (Pavlonian) respnse, fear of this
punishing god, and, "if he's not punishing then he will be if I think
like this"
It is so ingrained that it is virtually
impossible for us to question our conditioning; to recognize what
indeed, lives inside us, making it impossible for us to wake up and see
who we are. And so we struggle in our lives looking for "HIM" to guide us..
From
one
conversation to the next; from one person to the next, I see the waste
that iI went though before coming to myself and
believing in ME. That we are only an animal, helpless from natural disasters is only a
greater reason to believe in ones self. We need, and
have the power, to grow The degree to which we refuse to
consider anything else as our leader is the degree to which we grow and our greatest growth stopper.
Most
of us have eyes and minds with which to see. If I keep my eyes closed,
along with my mind i live in darkness as they have done in the dark
ages. You cannot explain to me how to
do that; nor can you do it for me. I must simply choose and open my
eyes, along with my mind.
I prefer to live my life without leaving things to a fantasy god. No, I'll take the consequences for my actions and deal with what i have to. I refuse to "leave it to god" i leave it to me and am much happier for it. I don't dodge guilt or run from consequences. My health and wellness are the winners.
I live with open eyes, so I know where I'm going!Straight to hell! lol lol Look out Devil, I'm going to take over you wimp.

Go
to GoodSearch.com, put in holographic model, then click "The
Holographic Universe-Crystalinks" and after uall read as much as use
mind can take go to the bottom and click on "creation index" for all u
may want to know (and probably didn't want to know) about creation
meths and especially where they originated.
After that, in the
same bottom of page, click Alphabetical index of all files to really
find more than u may ever thought existed in the field of the
holographic principle and much, much more.
Good luck and here's to the broadening of the mind
I
may look stupid, and act same, but trying hard to smarten up, while now
listening to "Know One Told Me About Her" the slow version from "Kill

6:55 PM - religion/politics
Current mood:  sleepy
Category: why? Life
As
many average americans either went to school to learn to get a job, eat
lunch (history is taught so boringly in school, who can blame them.) or
are to busy now providing for their families, or just don't care after
a hard days work (actually, usually a husband and wives hard days work)
their views on the world politic can be strange indeed. Usually a
combination of the wide eyed view we are taught in grade school and
what they hear on the right wing radio talk shows. As proof that lack
of knowledge can be bliss for that person but hell on the rest of the
world. i'd like to know who could ever get the idea that Israel, other
than a few from the "American" jewish community, have helped built this
country. Israel is there to build itself, control the middle east and
keep it unstable for american oil money and the high priced oil that
comes from that. And we, the tax payer, pay a high price for our
private Israeli mercenaries, and our arms industry thanks u. No, US, no
Israel; and that is leaving out the Arabs. They have never been able to
make it on their own. It is one of the biggest propaganda lies of the
world.
Now I'll be called a anti semite. Most use that word to
refer to jews. WRONG. The Arabs are just, and even more semite than
Jews. But, too many people are conditioned to scream, "anti-semite jew
hater at the first negative comment directed at the Jews. Israel is a
master at deception. I, for one, admire their spin. Their greatest is
the "terrorists"(there were no greater "terrorist" than the jews
through out their history not just before independence, and since)
phrase; bushy, or his thinkers, have push that to the limits and taken
away most of our freedoms, that we once held sancrosant, with the
faintest of protest. We pay the price for lack of diligence.
I'll
just give u a very small piece of history-it would be of benefit to u
to check my facts out, about those terrible killers from Islam.
When
Islam took over the middle east and North Africa in the 7th & 8th
centuries the people were under such a repressive christian empire that
any other religion and all other christian religions not under
Constantine's idea of christianity, were a death sentence. And, taxed
to poverty. Islam allowed all religions and though they taxed only
people that were not of there faith there taxes were lower than before.
Jews, Christians, Moslem and others had their religious buildings side
by side. And glad to be out from under the repressive Christians- they
were to busy killing more of each other, for their riches, than they
did other religions.
It was not until the around 1000AD that a
Christian religious fanatic bishop from Egypt(?) declared Islam the
worship of the devil and destroyed a mosque in Jerusalem (for its
wealth) that the trouble started with the crusades etc.
One of
my blogs (actually many) have disappeared. Like the one were I talk
about how our industrial build-up along with the railroads to open the
west was payed for by money from the opium trade. We always, in those
days, followed the British. The BIG cattle ranches of the west were
owned and financed by the British and their opium money. that's where
they got the capital for so fast an industrial revolution.
My
favorite, President Roosevelt (died on my birthday 4-12-45) came from a
big monied family; money made in the opium trade in China. One of the
things u will not learn in our schools, and because of that, and the
naive belief that we are so pure, , and the negative consequences
allows so much unchallenged corruption in our otherwise great way of
government.
Government are not "good" as they are a repressive
institution by nature. Our form is one of the few that allows these
repression by electing people who do it for their own needs and fool us
into thinking the opposite. Bushy and friends, like Imus and Rush on
right wing talk radio, care nothing for America, just their own
pockets. They are the ultimate lyres. Remember Rush saying, 'THEY
SHOULD EXECUTE ALL DRUG USERS?" This, as he was sending his maid out to
get illegal drugs for himself. He knows what brings in the ratings,
lies, for his big money. He needs to be fired as much as Imus along
with the rest of their type, but the media doesn't want any other side
to reveal the truth about what's happening with these illegal wars and
gas prices. Remember, it is easy to figure out, leave ur heart where it
belongs and use ur mind. It's the money honey. Follow the money as deep
throat once uttered.

I have one thing u might like to see;
"Iraq for Sale" the war profiteers
Brave New Films;
Robert Greefald (?)
It's in the library under call #DVD 956.70
U can asked reference desk to order it.
It shows a little of what this war is doing to our troops and how they are being used for the profit of others -well u judge.
this
will show a little about the way i feel about the war. But some people
think that if u critique bushys war u are against our soldiers, when
the opposite is true.
There are no good wars and the last one we needed to be in was WWII.
Because
we've started so many and back tyrants we are now getting what the CIA
calls "blow back" in fact there is a documentary on the CIA that talks
about blow back but i can't remember the title. Very good though for
thinking people; any one out there know the title?

4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much
worse it could be and to quit whining.
6. When you are confused - I will use little words.

again. I don't want whatever you have.

4:15 PM - thinking about Robin
Current mood:  tired
Category: Life
Been
doing a lot of thinking (yes, I have that capacity, sometimes) lately
because of all the friends who died this month. Only one was old
enough,72, and she died of a blood infection. The others were young in
comparison, 45 & 43. My woman was 45 and died after a car accident.
We had decided to break up as so as I went back to LA. Then there was
Robin whos death is the only one that really bothered me at all- sort
of cold, huh? That's me. Anyway, I came back from New Mexico and was to
be with her, but I was tired and didn't want to drive across town so
got a motel alone instead of with her. We talked alot that last night
on the phone, and I never saw her again. She didn't call the day, and
didn't answer her phone-then her friend called me and said she was in
this fucked up hospital, known for people never coming out alive, and
died.
Now death rarely bothers me, but she was strong, vibrant,
beautiful (she didn't look a day over 25- it set me back when she told
me) and always there if I needed her. In short, good people, and full
of love, with a little girl that I hadn't seen for a couple of months.
At the services she came up to and ask if I remembered her. I said,
"How could I forget my favorite." Then she put her little arms around
me, and told me how much she missed me, and now she sure did miss her
mom. I haven't felt emotion like that since 1986, another bad day.
Anyway, it's strange how I've been without deep feelings for so long.
Things that I see upset others just role off my shoulders.
Sex is about the longest lasting emotion I have, and that doesn't last long without a special love.
Other
than that I can't seem to get started. Missed 3 interviews for reading
monologs- that's bad, and tired all the time so I had AIDS test-
negative. Just getting old I guess.
Shooter was a good action movie. De Caprio was great in Blood Diamonds, but he's always good.
Hell, sorry, I got nothing to say- read below about the ass and the bishop for a word to the wise.
