I think a lot of time has passed such that i can alert any and all readers if there are any. some folks may occasionally check up on me here and if they do they can at least note that Maverick is no longer an issue in my life. He has made it an unqualified effort to make certain I never hear from him again. So that takes care of that issue
Other areas of my life remain disasterously full. I have twice been arrested. I have legal fees and other costs in abundance where as my income has diminished. I feel that I might begin to write again and this note is evidence of the fact. I still have maintained 3 friends that I consider good friends. I hope I can hold on to these friends because i have come to learn that maintaining good friends is of paramount importance. Bill, Harley, and Tracey. I have other aquaintances but real friends are hard to find. And, if even 1 of these people remain in the category of REAL friends I will still be blessed.
Pray for me if you are out there and still consider yourself one of my friends. Even my stepchildren for whom I gave up a huge portion of my life, all 6 of them have abandoned me. I try to forget if i can. But, I won't because I still love them all very much and wonder how they are and what has become of them. If you are still out there you know this blog is hear. Send me a message. If you wish to call my # is 14798838743.

Egypt: Opening of the Mouth Ritual, A Feature Tour Egypt Story
The effect of the ritual was to animate the recipient (or, in the case of a deceased individual, to re-animate it). The ritual allowed the mummy, statue, or temple, to eat, breathe, see, hear and enjoy the offerings and provisions performed by the priests and officiants, thus to sustain the ka.
. The Egyptian terms for the ceremony are wpt-r and wn-r, both translating literally to "opening of the mouth." The verb wpi denotes an opening that entails splitting, dividing or separating, and is used to describe the separation of two combatants, the dividing of time or even a determination of the truth. The verb wn emphasizes accessibility and exposure, used in contexts such as wn-hr, literally "open the face", but more correctly meaning "see" or "be seen".

American Meltdown
A shattering moment in America's fall from powerThe global financial crisis will see the US falter in the same way the Soviet Union did when the Berlin Wall came down. The era of American dominance is overAll comments (437)
John Gray The Observer, Sunday September 28 2008 Article historyOur gaze might be on the markets melting down, but the upheaval we are experiencing is more than a financial crisis, however large. Here is a historic geopolitical shift, in which the balance of power in the world is being altered irrevocably. The era of American global leadership, reaching back to the Second World War, is over.
You can see it in the way America's dominion has slipped away in its own backyard, with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez taunting and ridiculing the superpower with impunity. Yet the setback of America's standing at the global level is even more striking. With the nationalisation of crucial parts of the financial system, the American free-market creed has self-destructed while countries that retained overall control of markets have been vindicated. In a change as far-reaching in its implications as the fall of the Soviet Union, an entire model of government and the economy has collapsed.
Ever since the end of the Cold War, successive American administrations have lectured other countries on the necessity of sound finance. Indonesia, Thailand, Argentina and several African states endured severe cuts in spending and deep recessions as the price of aid from the International Monetary Fund, which enforced the American orthodoxy. China in particular was hectored relentlessly on the weakness of its banking system. But China's success has been based on its consistent contempt for Western advice and it is not Chinese banks that are currently going bust. How symbolic yesterday that Chinese astronauts take a spacewalk while the US Treasury Secretary is on his knees.
Despite incessantly urging other countries to adopt its way of doing business, America has always had one economic policy for itself and another for the rest of the world. Throughout the years in which the US was punishing countries that departed from fiscal prudence, it was borrowing on a colossal scale to finance tax cuts and fund its over-stretched military commitments. Now, with federal finances critically dependent on continuing large inflows of foreign capital, it will be the countries that spurned the American model of capitalism that will shape America's economic future.
Which version of the bail out of American financial institutions cobbled up by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is finally adopted is less important than what the bail out means for America's position in the world. The populist rant about greedy banks that is being loudly ventilated in Congress is a distraction from the true causes of the crisis. The dire condition of America's financial markets is the result of American banks operating in a free-for-all environment that these same American legislators created. It is America's political class that, by embracing the dangerously simplistic ideology of deregulation, has responsibility for the present mess.
In present circumstances, an unprecedented expansion of government is the only means of averting a market catastrophe. The consequence, however, will be that America will be even more starkly dependent on the world's new rising powers. The federal government is racking up even larger borrowings, which its creditors may rightly fear will never be repaid. It may well be tempted to inflate these debts away in a surge of inflation that would leave foreign investors with hefty losses. In these circumstances, will the governments of countries that buy large quantities of American bonds, China, the Gulf States and Russia, for example, be ready to continue supporting the dollar's role as the world's reserve currency? Or will these countries see this as an opportunity to tilt the balance of economic power further in their favour? Either way, the control of events is no longer in American hands.
The fate of empires is very often sealed by the interaction of war and debt. That was true of the British Empire, whose finances deteriorated from the First World War onwards, and of the Soviet Union. Defeat in Afghanistan and the economic burden of trying to respond to Reagan's technically flawed but politically extremely effective Star Wars programme were vital factors in triggering the Soviet collapse. Despite its insistent exceptionalism, America is no different. The Iraq War and the credit bubble have fatally undermined America's economic primacy. The US will continue to be the world's largest economy for a while longer, but it will be the new rising powers that, once the crisis is over, buy up what remains intact in the wreckage of America's financial system.
There has been a good deal of talk in recent weeks about imminent economic armageddon. In fact, this is far from being the end of capitalism. The frantic scrambling that is going on in Washington marks the passing of only one type of capitalism - the peculiar and highly unstable variety that has existed in America over the last 20 years. This experiment in financial laissez-faire has imploded.While the impact of the collapse will be felt everywhere, the market economies that resisted American-style deregulation will best weather the storm. Britain, which has turned itself into a gigantic hedge fund, but of a kind that lacks the ability to profit from a downturn, is likely to be especially badly hit.
The irony of the post-Cold War period is that the fall of communism was followed by the rise of another utopian ideology. In American and Britain, and to a lesser extent other Western countries, a type of market fundamentalism became the guiding philosophy. The collapse of American power that is underway is the predictable upshot. Like the Soviet collapse, it will have large geopolitical repercussions. An enfeebled economy cannot support America's over-extended military commitments for much longer. Retrenchment is inevitable and it is unlikely to be gradual or well planned.
Meltdowns on the scale we are seeing are not slow-motion events. They are swift and chaotic, with rapidly spreading side-effects. Consider Iraq. The success of the surge, which has been achieved by bribing the Sunnis, while acquiescing in ongoing ethnic cleansing, has produced a condition of relative peace in parts of the country. How long will this last, given that America's current level of expenditure on the war can no longer be sustained?
An American retreat from Iraq will leave Iran the regional victor. How will Saudi Arabia respond? Will military action to forestall Iran acquiring nuclear weapons be less or more likely? China's rulers have so far been silent during the unfolding crisis. Will America's weakness embolden them to assert China's power or will China continue its cautious policy of 'peaceful rise'? At present, none of these questions can be answered with any confidence. What is evident is that power is leaking from the US at an accelerating rate. Georgia showed Russia redrawing the geopolitical map, with America an impotent spectator.
Outside the US, most people have long accepted that the development of new economies that goes with globalisation will undermine America's central position in the world. They imagined that this would be a change in America's comparative standing, taking place incrementally over several decades or generations. Today, that looks an increasingly unrealistic assumption.
Having created the conditions that produced history's biggest bubble, America's political leaders appear unable to grasp the magnitude of the dangers the country now faces. Mired in their rancorous culture wars and squabbling among themselves, they seem oblivious to the fact that American global leadership is fast ebbing away. A new world is coming into being almost unnoticed, where America is only one of several great powers, facing an uncertain future it can no longer shape.

John Gray The Observer, Sunday September 28 2008 Article historyOur gaze might be on the markets melting down, but the upheaval we are experiencing is more than a financial crisis, however large. Here is a historic geopolitical shift, in which the balance of power in the world is being altered irrevocably. The era of American global leadership, reaching back to the Second World War, is over.
You can see it in the way America's dominion has slipped away in its own backyard, with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez taunting and ridiculing the superpower with impunity. Yet the setback of America's standing at the global level is even more striking. With the nationalisation of crucial parts of the financial system, the American free-market creed has self-destructed while countries that retained overall control of markets have been vindicated. In a change as far-reaching in its implications as the fall of the Soviet Union, an entire model of government and the economy has collapsed.
Ever since the end of the Cold War, successive American administrations have lectured other countries on the necessity of sound finance. Indonesia, Thailand, Argentina and several African states endured severe cuts in spending and deep recessions as the price of aid from the International Monetary Fund, which enforced the American orthodoxy. China in particular was hectored relentlessly on the weakness of its banking system. But China's success has been based on its consistent contempt for Western advice and it is not Chinese banks that are currently going bust. How symbolic yesterday that Chinese astronauts take a spacewalk while the US Treasury Secretary is on his knees.
Despite incessantly urging other countries to adopt its way of doing business, America has always had one economic policy for itself and another for the rest of the world.

STRAIGHT BOY ... GOOD SPORT.
Guess what..... I got laid about 10 days ago! Well, sort of. It was fun for what I'm used to which is usually nothing. I won't mention any names cause he's straight. I know that sounds like an oxymoron or a conflict of definition in terms, but It's more frequent than you would imagine. He is 20 about 6'2" about 170, very thin. extrordinarily excitable. So much so, that that's the less than fun part. I was nervous and had to do most of the work and he was to eager for me to keep up with. So its not like I got to savor the experience. But usually straight guys don't want it to be very memorable. After that he couldn't think of an excuse fast enough to not want to ever talk to me again. I was pretty sure before it happened that I would pretty much be giving up the friendship. So I was prepared for anything. If things had been different I would have been willing to take care of him... thats the only part that smarts a little. I did care. Given a couple of days, however, I managed to do something mildly annoying enough to give him an excuse to blow up and yell, "You did this!" You did this!! " So in a way I guess I sure did!! If he wanted to be that big an asshole I suppose I dont feel so bad about disturbing his mental balance.... which, I'm certain now, that I did. Being Straight I suppose I should be grateful. Not many 47 year olds get to sample up 20 year old tail!!let alone STRAIGHT!!!!! I won't go into the gory details about how I can know he's straight but there are ways to know. And I do. Had all the hallmarks of the kind of guy who gets himself into such situations..."Damn it what was I thinking?" ha ha ha. Well I know exactly what I was thinking.... As for him bet I can guess. But that's enough of that for now. Don't worry if your out there guy. I'll never tell a soul even if you did act an ASS!! Besides not enough people read my blog. And if you're wondering... despite the selfishness you displayed, it was all good for me... even better latter on in the week.

Intersting article about plants and ecosystem health
Posted by David Pescovitz, September 19, 2008 10:47 AM | permalink
When plants are stressed out, they generate aspirin-like chemicals. The aspirin isn't used to reduce headaches, primarily because plants don't have heads. Scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research detected significant quantities of methyl salicyate, a chemical form of aspirin, above a forest canopy. The capability of plants to emit the chemical had been known previously but only observed in a laboratory setting. From a press release:
(Lead researcher Thomas) Karl and his colleagues speculate that the methyl salicylate has two functions. One of these is to stimulate plants to begin a process known as systemic acquired resistance, which is analogous to an immune response in an animal. This helps a plant to both resist and recover from disease.
The methyl salicylate also may be a mechanism whereby a stressed plant communicates to neighboring plants, warning them of the threat. Researchers in laboratories have demonstrated that a plant may build up its defenses if it is linked in some way to another plant that is emitting the chemical. Now that the NCAR team has demonstrated that methyl salicylate can build up in the atmosphere above a stressed forest, scientists are speculating that plants may use the chemical to activate an ecosystem-wide immune response...
The discovery raises the possibility that farmers, forest managers, and others may eventually be able to start monitoring plants for early signs of a disease, an insect infestation, or other types of stress. At present, they often do not know if an ecosystem is unhealthy until there are visible indicators, such as dead leaves.
"A chemical signal is a very sensitive way to detect plant stress, and it can be an order of magnitude more effective than using visual inspections," Karl says.

Celibate SEXUALITY and The Beautiful Mind
Sunday, April 24, 2005
this has been done I think .... I meant to send this to "CELEBATEMIND" hee hee hee...
Seeing the Human Race naked at a young age prevents incests among its members. This is why it is best for a large group of us to remain absent from the human race at a young age. This way ordinary procreative sex will take place. It is then best we not see all of us as one big happy family lest we depopulate and become extinct..... you know, that's not a bad idea.

Cannot find server
Cannot find server Many may find this a peculiar title for this website, however, it is more than it appears. It is a doorway to Swans..... an inocuous sounding website that generally blasts away at current culture Americana and Politica Americana via stories, myth, metaphor and various forms of literary types, From the outright obvious to the satirical, ironic, sardonic, sarcastic, pontificatious, poetic, cartoon, ...... well just about any form of transmission of human (or extraterrestrial to those who don't understand it.) To provide platform and scaffold for predication of analysis of our Modern Morass of Inhumanity to Man and our amazingly Zombified and Anesthetized reactions to it all, As it all goes on before our very eyes in the most blatant , In Your Face manner that the super powerful, ruthlessly tear to pieces before our very eyes all things sacred. Meanwhile the lazy and corrupted now power owned and infiltrated press pull off smoke screens, and sleight of hand tricks so poorly done that a 5 year old could see past it. But...... We ..Be .......Zombies........I have a SUV. Wanna See it?? Just Click on Cannot find server. OK? you'll see.

Late, But Timely...:
Hello everyone, though many do not read it is nice to have an occacional marker to refer to that is ordered to some extent for my own use. I did think at one time due to the intellectual content of much of my scribbles, that nerds and metaphysicists of all sorts would come bounding out of there cubicals giving me feedback at least occasionally enough to add more compunction to my punctuality and consistency. Nevertheless, It's not like I expected to be a big blog hit with offers to serialize and commercialize my site. I don't have that much talent or computer knowledge to make my site visually appealing nor am I politically provocative. Not because I am insane but more likely because my views are to arcane or diverse as well as extradisciplinary, and not one minded. I knew I wouldn't be a Wonkette or Instapundit, but occasional comments I thought might come my way by browsers looking for someone who could write about a variety of topics might buy me 2 or 3 regular readers a week. Not too high an aim. Didn't happen. Comments I have had were from illiterates and one or two passerbys for a total of maybe 4 in approximately 8 months. I started posting more than a post a day and then sometimes very long ones a week or so apart. Now it has ground to about a once a month whim. I am planning to start back as I have been doing an enormous amount of writing in my journal. I have written close to 100 pages on small ruled notebook paper in about 3 months, much of it in 5 to 10 page segments in irregular time frames. But productivity and value have for me been much improved. Somehow I think I can't write my most serious growth in the blog for fear of losing it. I need to find a way to download this thing I guess. Maybe I should just print it all out as I write on here so I can feel no dread of impermenancy that could be clogging my creative spouts. I will print this one out and see if that can't happen. It is certain that my note book has no photos or drawings yet. But much of my older writing is obviously immature although I have saved a lot of art with it. More of my saved writing has been sorted as well, and neither does it contain any of the breezy daily dialoges of the type I have through out my blog that reads so tacky in places. It's not that I don't mean much of whatI have written in my blogs so much as my manner of expression seems to conceal a more ruminating broodish attitude that I did not intend to reflect. Yet Boo!! There it is. Is it my uncounscious spilling through? I don't know how. Because what is reflected when I write I think is only a state of mind that comes adrift in consequence with moments that writing is paired up with states of mind of the sort I maybe did not recognize as being a commonality with the push to write. Similarly at this moment I am in a state of economic desertification caused much by my own attitude of narcisistic neglect for my own whims to be delimited by uninteresting work with low pay combined with health problems that employers seem to force you to reveal to the point of telling the story of your life. It is a slow process where one answer or revelation unearths more questions furthering more curiosity to the point of what I simply consider unethical. Similarly lack of interest in the job I had been doing, although the pay is good by other standards in this meager economic state called Arkansas, To continue with out interest is also unethical. Many in that field find that to be no impediment. I do not think a person can do work as a Nursing Assistant without a strong moral imperative and the ability to maintain it with emotive conviction. Thus many are in the hands of the disinterested, dispassionant, pretenders who shortcut their work for a cigarette break or just more free time to gossip about who's fucking who, and probing for info to see who they can backstab to get over on. Likewise they are also ( many of them ) Highschool drop outs. Low class people have found a way to make a bigger buck by doing a job many wouldn't or couldn't do for reasons already described by virtue of paltry home training brought about in some occasions by poverty of parents or grandparents where by the have been forced to care for a family member that is disabled in some form brought about by neglect, drug abuse, child abuse, alcholism, cigarette smoking, malnutrition and a poverty of education that could serve to dislodge them from certain inherent non-nutritive lifestyle spirals that remain entrenched due to policies invite learned helplessness. Add to this the number of families battling to stay afloat economically in a country of increasing upper class wealth and cynical leaders having no vision for any change for the better by any avenue of the multiple potential streaming of the information flood where by novelty is a natural emergent phenomena preached by the pantheon doctrinare of the world bank and all evolutionary sociologist new age pundits. This is not what is happening. Yet if we stay the course gold is at the end of the rainbow. In the mean time, Mom and Dad Work 50 hr. weeks their children see them only when they are spent, tired, and irritable. Only to be blessed by layoffs, retraining for another thankless job where they again will not be valued after 10 years of loyalty. They may find pension funds shrunken, packages for early retirement to trim the fat and eventually move operations to indonesia. We constantly fighting cell phone fraud propagators in which we are tied by contract with no binding arbitration clauses. If not them It's spam, ID theft, or misfiled, misbilled, Bill collectors for the wrong person with the same name.
See the bitterness in my vitriole. well. I can't work. Bills are piling up. Mom and Dad are not gonna be a pliable as when I paid them back via loans they have carried between 4 and 28 thousand dollars for 16 years. Since at the present they see my health problems to threaten my ability to find gainful employment Bankruptcy may be my only choice. In rolls the dark clouds of indeterminancy.
Who might believe that actually I stay mainly happy through all of it! Truth is life is but a long class in every subject and I like to learn even now. Wish I could go back to school and get a Masters and Doctorate. Keep striving to learn and you will soon notice you are a miracle and when the natural becomes Miraculous....! you know who you are. and you know that you know little, but it matters only that you keep learning marvels to come... you then invite it.... all of it.

ABORTION FOR BACON AND DECARTE!!!!!!
Me thinks that in the days of old around the 1500 to 1600 a couple of well knowns in the formation of modern epistemology and thought, should best have been aborted such that the future could have taken a different tact. I refer here to the two overly rated and much revered Francis Bacon and Rene Decarte. Ms. Decarte helped us to find our selves with the supposition that we did not know where we were, or even if we existed for that matter.... (What irony). He did ultimately have his "eureka" Moment where he discovered cogito ergo sum Satisfied that because he thought he must exist. Although wholey original in thought for it's time....., the idea is just another ideosycracy of the the human faculties limitation with regard to the sensibilities of time and space. But it was, Oh..so trendy an idea and oh so satifying to the budding ego of the era of the Renaissance And hence wholey sensible to my idea of abortion for he and his previously "Reborn" coetaneous cohort Francis Bacon. Where as Decarte only discovered he existed (in a rather fatuous way) and where we and he were and could be found as if we needed to be.... Francis Bacon did a lot of arm chair psychobable of his own. He wasn't a scientist. He did no pioneering research or work for that matter in any field whatsoever that we know of. He was spoken of by his peers as to not have even had a proper grasp of the methods of scientific investigation of his own time,...Yet he had the gall to to pride himself in being the archetect of a revolutionary advance in the scientific method. (Popper had quite a bit to comment about in this area). Nevertheless these two were born and for some reason whether aptly accoladed or not, are thought to bear the sumptuous gift of reason and progress,.... and having brought man from a place along side other creatures in nature to a grand pedestal of importance and,.... the ontologically understood gradiosity of a being whose birthright (pun intended) was to go about building and progressing for the bettering and further enriching of mankind to whit.... with such a bulwork of "Steam Load Ahead", that, all the rest of creation be left to wither, if necessary in the process!! "All Else Be Damned for The Furtherance of Man." This could well have been there theme and Motto.
Allowing that history does have a tendency to get somewhat distorted; and, being that historians are persistently (via such is the ontology apriori.)looking for causes, and sources of ideas, firsts, and lasts, orders, and heirarchies. It is certainly possible that their roll might be very minimal in the foothold of such ideological changes in the evolution of thought in all of man and woman kind. For they must have had mothers no doubt, and it has been the nature of man for time in memorial to look to the parents as having a roll in the outcome and notieriety of their progeny.
All that having been said in finality there is not much to be said for the quest for a time travel to have the aformentioned men aborted. After all the quest to do it would be in the interest, enrichment, and betterment of all mankind. thus, even my own thoughts are infected by this ideological meme.
Such so, that now all aims of the betterment of mankind seem somehow to lie at the feet of this ontology of thought, Apriori, it is said, via the writings and thoughs of Bacon and Descarte. Around the circle I have traveled,.. yet have I found my self or the origin of my thought... is it really me? such that cogito ergo sum .?... and such an odd idea; for it has no place in Bacon's Revolution of the Scientific Method. For it has very little validation as a possible hypothesis and virtually no means of testing it with out predjudice. Variables cannot be isolated and the logic is circular.
But if Decarte be the culprit, what has been reeped in the long run is the triumph of Ego in man, and this if any theory of history hold true, the human race and civilization as we know it must undergo radical ideological change of some sort, back or forth, a new something or old; but a replacement of this mentality of separate self, least greed, and the disolution of the whole of civilization in a war of brands and corporations and a new genocide to come..... even as to this very day mankind thinks he has progressed so far. Today however millions die in war, starvation, disease and slavery. So in what nation do we erect our monument to acheivement? Rawanda? Sudan? Afghanistan? North Korea? The western coasts of Malaysia and the eastern of Sri Lanka and India? Maybe the outlands of Siberia? The Economies of South America Stolen and enslaved to the International Monetary Fund?? Maybe we Should build that symbol of progress where it once in reality stood on those acres of the TWIN TOWERS OF TRADE in New York.

Allowing that history does have a tendency to get somewhat distorted; and, being that historians are persistently (via such is the ontology apriori.)looking for causes, and sources of ideas, firsts, and lasts, orders, and heirarchies. It is certainly possible that their roll might be very minimal in the foothold of such ideological changes in the evolution of thought in all of man and woman kind. For they must have had mothers no doubt, and it has been the nature of man for time in memorial to look to the parents as having a roll in the outcome and notieriety of their progeny.
All that having been said in finality there is not much to be said for the quest for a time travel to have the aformentioned men aborted. After all the quest to do it would be in the interest, enrichment, and betterment of all mankind. thus, even my own thoughts are infected by this ideological meme.
Such so, that now all aims of the betterment of mankind seem somehow to lie at the feet of this ontology of thought, Apriori, it is said, via the writings and thoughs of Bacon and Descarte. Around the circle I have traveled,.. yet have I found my self or the origin of my thought... is it really me? such that cogito ergo sum .?... and such an odd idea; for it has no place in Bacon's Revolution of the Scientific Method. For it has very little validation as a possible hypothesis and virtually no means of testing it with out predjudice. Variables cannot be isolated and the logic is circular.
But if Decarte be the culprit, what has been reeped in the long run is the triumph of Ego in man, and this if any theory of history hold true, the human race and civilization as we know it must undergo radical ideological change of some sort, back or forth, a new something or old; but a replacement of this mentality of separate self, least greed, and the disolution of the whole of civilization in a war of brands and corporations and a new genocide to come..... even as to this very day mankind thinks he has progressed so far. Today however millions die in war, starvation, disease and slavery. So in what nation do we erect our monument to acheivement? Rawanda? Sudan? Afghanistan? North Korea? The western coasts of Malaysia and the eastern of Sri Lanka and India? Maybe the outlands of Siberia? The Economies of South America Stolen and enslaved to the International Monetary Fund?? Maybe we Should build that symbol of progress where it once in reality stood on those acres of the TWIN TOWERS OF TRADE in New York. We must return to a time where we lose the SELF of MAYA and Live From the Self OF the great Unmanifested, THE self of the WHOLE, of all of man in unity, as he really is... but cannot see because of the illusion created from the misperception out of the sensibilities of time and space.

Partical Import and Terror of Dawn
But, at what point are we terrorized?
At what point confused?
Emotions....? From what pool do they emerge?
And what currents move those waters?
Is it possible to drown therein? What blaze of Sun upon the open spaces enlightens the soul, but simultaneously and Now most certainly Scientifically supports the sustenance of our very existence.. through the myriad and countless pathways of chemical bonding and unbonding.
For all to flourish the earth must be selectively struck by an infinite range of electromagnetic waves and particles. IT DOES not really matter what we call them. They act as they act, be they particles or waves. They display the properties of both. And I cry and I laugh.

OUTLAW BURN MY NAME BURN MY NUMBER GIVE A CHANCE TO SWEEP IT UNDER !
OUTLAW BURN MY NAME BURN MY NUMBER GIVE A CHANCE TO SWEEP IT UNDER !
I shouldn't watch television it is too upseting;... It reminds me that my past no matter how mundane or minor ( credit problems... an arrest record (no prosecution) bad back, narcolepsy) I will never find a job in the mainstream working for anyone else ever make a living. My last chance was my last job... they downsized; I was gone and I have never come back to anything near what I made then or before nor do I expect to in this techno wonder and techno incest. It provides that I talk across the globe with ease yet provides the information that allows me to become a statistic in these databases with no end. I have to make a new me out of me and work for myself and sell what I do have to provide to whoever wants what I have. I am going to write. Soon I will put some of my put away "shorts" on the web and then see where they go...........>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
two to too..comments and a comment...
Thank you for your comment anonymous. I feel no ill will toward what you say. appreciate the remark you made. I don't get the feed back I thought I would on here anyway ( not that i expectd a magazine readership or anything close) There are so many blogs on the web these days there are thousands to encounter and no matter how unusual unless they strike some special public chord.
I however ( on another note) am outraged at the sentencing of a 12 year old for killing his grandparents. No on in this society had any sense. If I question my own sensibilities here to suppose I may be wrong and do not know what is right....( which many times I am certain to think ) But, if I do so in this situation I must abandon all possibility of knowing what contains or demonstrates any virtue of any kind. Because,... I think this is one of the grossest perversions of justice I have ever entertained. Throw into the mix a 12 yr old and high powered psychoactive chemicals administered against the advice of the FDA as stated for its uses (paxil) and ask is there reasonable doubt that there was some mental impairment. God ... Yes enough that he couldn't get a drivers license, Couldn't vote, Couldn't drink. Couldn't sign up for the Army... Not mentally competent enough to do those things OR TAKE THAT DRUG..... and yet he was deemed to be guilty and emprisoned for 30 years!!! Fully reponsible and as irretreivably mentally matured to Adult status suddenly that his life may as well be canceled out with the life of those he killed. Why submit him to the torture and mental anguish he will most certainly experience or the demonic nature if not budding in him as a youth will fully bloom by the time of his release. God let this Society as we know it ( not for this reason alone, but for the many other examples and reasons of which seem uncountable and infinite) be Damned!!!!!!!!

Godel Escher Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid
Tis a book by Douglas R. Hofstadter. Excellent book . It is a book not for the masses only for those who like to ponder why life is like it is and why peculiarity and novelty hold so many clues to the universal, the raison de etre for why and how our universe is like it is and why we "might" be here. This book ponders such undeniable and strange curiosities like almost no other I've read. Try to dicispline your mind, for it is the one tool that can draws sustenance from, and that is not to suggest to use it for only thought, but to allow it to remain empty,... for in its empty moments it gains it's greater strength. Love is a mystery and so is the Universe yet love is seldom studied. Neither less than the other in depth or infinity. Life is a strange loop.
