Happy President's Day!

POW!
(President of the World)

I would rule the planet, making contact with the space-aliens!
(Who should be president of (our chunk of) the universe?)
j/k: leadership isn't necessary, I think. but fun to think about.
I identify with earth more than the USA,
and also with animalia (more than humans, demons, gods, etc)
we're all just animals, like chimps or dolphins, but
with culture, speech/language, bipedalism, big brains, opposable thumbs, technology/tools

I would lead by example, getting strong and quitting vices.
Mr Universe.  Vegetarian.  No smoking.
japanese aikido/indian yoga/tibetan meditation ?
empty the jails and prisons: mass pardon!  set everyone free :-)
(send them all to Australia, again?)
global volunteer work: basic needs met for all.
(clean water, sanitation, food/water/clothing/shelter, healthcare)

reverence for life:
no nukes, no war, no capital punishment, no abortion.
all books available to everyone, in every language (digitally?)
no borders, freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of religion
no laws? make your own justice? no crime.
no militaries, no police, no guns, no gangs

idunno.  i'm crazy.  it looks good on paper (to me, anyway).
president, a brand of cheese
pre/sid/ent: pre- vicious bug!
happy pd!

Pope Francis, I disagree

quote:
“You cannot provoke,” Pope Francis said on Thursday. “You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.”
Though he defended the principle of free expression and paid lip service to the notion that violence is always wrong, he warned “you can’t make a toy out of the religions of others.”
“To kill in the name of God is an aberration,” Francis said. However, he added that it was natural for those who have been insulted to lash out violently.
“In freedom of expression, there are limits, like in regard to my mom,” Francis continued. “If he says a swear word against my mother, he’s going to get a punch in the nose. That’s normal.”

My response
Yes, you can!  Satire, criticism, creatively playing with and redefining religion, is Good and Holy, even!  God is a human construct, Religion is all about Goodness, and is one big Toy to Play with, in the unending quest for improvement, betterment, growth, change, and love, laughter, and happiness.  Pushing people's buttons can be good.  The religious bits on comedy central are usually the best, in my opinion.  The scientologists call it impinging, part of process toward perfection.  You take the best out of every religion, and get closer to Enlightenment, Nirvana, a heavenly society, a utopian world, the Goal, Truth.   But that's just me.  You may now feel free to insult my mom in the comments.

On my mind

Isis and Islam

First off, f you, Isis.  You can all go to hell.  War is hell, so I guess you're already there.  But I wouldn't mind you assholes suffering eternal torment, of the afterlife variety.  Which we all know won't happen.  But it should.  Killing people make you feel big and strong?  I thought your religion respected Jesus.  Did you even give those 21 Coptic Christians you killed in Libya the option to convert?  Allah, the merciful, the beneficent?  How f-ing dare you, you murderous thugs.  You are a stain on your religion, you are not good!  Those weren't soldiers, those were civilians, which makes you mass murderers, serial killers, common criminals.  You should rot in hell, as they say, which would basically be a lifetime in a prison cell, which is what a civilized criminal justice system metes out to losers like you.  Death would be too good for you.  I don't believe in capital punishment.  You should have 80 years of torment!  A lifetime of pain.  Because THAT's what's real-  Not a harem of virgins in paradise.  Maybe big Baghdadi's got some bitches on the side, but that's as close as you'll ever get.  Karma's a bitch, and your stupid Islamic State's days are numbered, just like everybody else on this stupid planet.  Live by the sword, die by the sword.  You want to die?  Keep provoking us.  You guys aren't very smart, it seems to me, suicidally instigating your own demise, trying to stay in the news with sensationalist crucifixions, burnings, mass-beheadings.  Like a bad horror movie.  You can get the same thrill from video games, if that's what you're after.  You don't have to transfer your own personal hell to the world at large, which deserves better.  You don't have to make your issues with powerlessness in a religion that means 'submission' result in an orgy of violence.  You already have power.  You don't have to prove it by victimizing unbelievers.   Justice should be your receiving a miserable, unpleasant lifetime behind bars.  I might have respected you, if you did it right, and weren't barbarians.  God knows Syria and Iraq could use improvement.  Everyone has the right to live.  Every body is at the center of their own universe.  All are God.  Allah is as good a God as Christ, Buddha, Adi Da, or even Shiva, or could be, if you made it all about love, peace, respect, kindness, virtue, happiness, progress...  But although it's probably too late for you punks, I'll pray for you anyway, on the off chance you can make something good out of your "caliphate", and actually make a better world, which I assume you poor misguided "souls" think you are trying to do, anyway.  Everyone has a dark side, but a true religion extinguishes brutality and elevates comfort, peace, health, happiness.   And if you don't step up, I, one of the 7 Billion Gods on this planet right now, will turn my will against you.  I already have, but God is forgiving, right?

Another Mess of Jess

Hello. Hell Oh? Greetings. Gr Eatings? Hi. High? Hey. Hay?

I speak doublespeak. Eye dew. Forked tongue, like a snake. Snakes don't speak. They hiss. Sibilant speech speaks slytherin...I am Jessssse Tessshara. Jesssse Lawrencssssse Tesssshara, to be precssssicssse. Csssertainly not Jessssusss Chrissst.

Like letting air out of tires. Or hissing one's vitriolic disapproval. Or getting attention: pssst! Over here! There's a flow to it, like pissing. Anger, pissed off. Like urine, you're in, and yelling ow, because it's yellow. You're all the rage. On the rag. Like Ragu pasta sauce. Pasta, like a past A in some school of fish. Noodles in your swimming pool. A pool shark at billiards. You've got balls. Maybe you're out in the garage. Openly homosexual in a gay-rage. Listening to Phish, eating phish-food eye scream, or maybe the foo-fighters. Ssssss. I cannot tell a lie. Wait, that's Washington. Dubya told a whopper. Eating president cheese at BK. Drinking the blood of the vine in your VW. The btk killer at BK (without the t). What is the price of t in China? I'd like to buy a vowel, Pat.

Death is hated, rearranged. Head T. If you're mental, you're mad. Cross. Madness is what you think, how you think, the fact that you think, or maybe are always are thinking. The consciousness con. You don't want Hannibal Lecter in your head, as they say. There's someone in your head, but it's not me, sing Pink Floyd. Ping goes the submarine, in the Roger Waters, flo-ing. Mad because they call you insane, a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sane in the membrane! Hugs, not drughs. Just say no. What floats your boat, in the Seine. Thinking about thing ink. Object-oriented program language? Thinking makes you the thing king. We are living in a material world, sings mad material-girl madonna. Through thick and thin. Thick Buddha is happy, they say. Ignorance is bliss. Knowing, biblically, well that can be pleasurable, too. You're mind, the ice, thawing with thought. Break the ice, mining the mind, eventually breaking hearts and causing pain, like a cypher, breaking codes and getting everyone's number. Time's up when it has your number, they say. There's birthday and deathday: what will you have on your Tombstone? Pizza toppings at Infinite Thai (it's a restaurant). Time flows between birth to death, every moment connected by a stream of consciousness, whether inky blackness of sleep, dreaming, prayer, thoughts, speech, writing, or looking out a car window (at one damn thing after another, as they say of history) ad nauseum, or listening to song after song, reading book after book, from door to door, window to window (of opportunity); daily life's process of selection between possibilities, options, choices. Maybe too few, maybe too many, maybe without a guide. Life flows from birthday to birthday, month to month, week to week, day to day, in repetitive routines and of course the fated necessity of dealing with what life throws at you, always doing what you have to do, ofen experienced as a lack of freedom. A dizzying array of too much freedom, and an inability to choose activities, dates, supermarket food choices, whatever, can leave you frozen. Justice, just ice. Global warming and hell and disney's frozen and immigration and customs enforcement and Isis all come to mind, which itself is called ice in Neuromancer, like OJ in concentrate, ponder that. Making waves. There's always a bigger fish.

Authors eat their words with tongue on their forks. Lengua, the mexican burrito of choice. Or maybe alphabet soup. Or maybe the author wrote a cookbook. Don't mind me. Nevermind, says Nirvana. All right, if you ceso. GM: grey matter is no laughing matter, unless the general manager of general motors is a fungi. The church babyroom, quiet room: Shh! I'm growing shrooms! Robert Plant sings to his vegetables, but the tree made no sound when it Fell.
