President Names

exercises in hypnosis

I have a theory that people who run for president run, at least partially, because of their names.
And maybe, are accepted or rejected, due to connotations, as well.

Washington, purity
truman- truth
Jimmy Carter, jc -jesus christ
Thomas Jefferson, T (cross), J (jesus)
john tyler- JT (inverse)
Adams, a dam(n) s (satan); mad A
Madison, madness
Jackson, jack (off?)
buren, urine
harrison, hair, hairy
polk, pierce, fillmore -sexual
taylor- tail
buchanon- canon
barack obama- baracks and bombs
lincoln- con (convicts?), link in
johnson- penis?
lbj (BJ)
dukakis- cock
tricky dick, dick cheney
harding- hard
grant- gr ant
hayes- haze
chester- chest
grover- gr over
teddy roosevelt- lingerie
taft- fat
coolidge- cool
hoover- vacuum (suck)
fdr (sex dr.)
woodrow wilson- wood, will son
ike, kennedy - k
bush- pubic hair
trump- rump
pence-penis
gore- bloody
clinton- clit
lieberman -lie
edwards- war, wards

you get the idea

back from Portland

• I bought nice sandals from REI, pizza, coffee, a burger and fries, ice cream, pie, a candy bar, and 6-bladed disposable shavers from 7-11.  Pierre shaved his beard with a new trimmer.

  we went to a puppet show, at a N branch library next to Jefferson high (the Democrats!)

  There's a train museum (real trains, not model ones), kinda like the one in Sacto, I guess.  I saw "drinking fountains" that are bubbling, always on (!), by the river and at the nearby branch library.  I picked up a library card application.  I played with Augie a few times, and watched him a couple times, too.  Augie played with my phone, the tablet (youtube and google zombies and dinosaurs, etc.), trains, toy dinosaurs, a book, toy cars, and his brand new "jumpoline."  The flight in was "hazy and smoky", from the fires.  I found a scrabble dictionary, at a nearby "little free library".   Jesse means "to jess" (!), which I didn't know.  jess means to fasten straps around the legs of a hawk  (which i did know).  There's an ebike store near Reed, on Powell.  There's another, near Killingsworth.   I ripped a pair of shorts, at the zoo (they were too tight).  Portland is 133 square miles (land area), Reed is 116 acres, and their S:F ration is 10:1.  I looked up what kratom is, it's an herbal drug with "opioid properties", which is legal in Oregon, but not California.  I didn't ride any public transportation, or go downtown, or visit any Ymca's.  I looked at a bike route map, but I want a street map (free from AAA?).  Wag works there.  Augie was on a quest for a lollipop, but the only one we found was sugar-free, so Sara convinced him to get gummy worms, instead.  She made a tasty nachos and vietnamese salad.  Pierre made burgers and chili.  I think I'm forgetting something.  Oh, the soup.  Yum.

  Hi Mom
  Yes, Sara opened the gift, and told me she will send you a card.   She loves it, and says they are made in Arizona, where she has family.  I've been sitting Augie, but a meal is a good idea, too.  We went to a street fair today.  I got an accidental FaceTime call from dad, before he left to visit Jeannine.  I went to Reed (where I talked with a professor, and a librarian), the branch library (you can check out 150 items at a time!!), a bike ride (the 4 of us) along willamette river (I bought a 'biketown ' rental).  Augie got swim instruction at a nice indoor pool, and received a certificate.  He also got a trampoline, which I helped Pierre assemble.  I read Augie a (short) book, and showed him trains on my tablet, zombies, and kept an eye on him as we made our way through the crowd.  He went to a puppet show.  He met the second grader next door (Sebastian).  They have 2 rocking chairs on the porch.  I've been reading my Economist.  I brought, but didn't even start, Stephen King's short story collection, bazaar of bad dreams.  They made smoothies.  We went out for ice cream.  I bought them 3 slices of peach pie.  We just bought some gourmet donuts.  We played ball, trains, dinosaurs, and I did some exercise lifting him up 40 times, and push-ups out in the yard.  There's a gym nearby ($110/3 months).  Pierre is cooking chili for tonight.  I showed Augie where the trains are on a map of Portland, and where the zombies are (Haiti).  There's a Wikipedia for kids.  I explained zombies are people dressed up in costumes, trying to be scary, using ketchup, and are probably friendly.  the google pics are scary, though.  But there are pictures of zombie dogs and dinosaurs, and even zombie minions.  Augie has been to the movies twice (Coco, and the Incredibles).  Pierre made burgers the first night.  Sara made 2 yummy dinners.  I've only taken 3 photos, so far.  The Reed library is 2.2 miles away (15m bike ride), and the branch is .8 miles away.  Wifi at both.  There are special streets, for bicycles.  I was perusing a scrabble dictionary, and found shrieval, "pertaining to sheriffs".  I wonder if Vicki knows that one.  I showed Sara the picture of Ben with his chaulk board for his first day back at school.  Augie starts in 2 weeks.  Sara has 5 clients, as an accountant.  Tata (Pierre's Mom), made a FaceTime call, and so did Peter (who knows me, also), who is coming to visit soon too, I think.  Sofia, from Italy, left before I got here.  We saw spiders, and a grasshopper, and a baby woodpecker, and crows, a cat, and lots of dogs.  I could have done a couple wag walks.  Good to know they're there.  Poutine made an exciting break for the corner from the porch, which surprised everybody.  I walked her, too.  She's eating plants, and still licking her paws.  She's been sleeping on the bed with me in the guest bedroom, possibly because she's too lazy to climb the stairs.  Augie sleeps with mom n dad upstairs, even though he has his own room.  Pierre and Sara both got new bikes.  Augie has a scooter that he's pretty good with.  I said he has an "eagle-eye", when it comes to trains.  He's learning about looking both ways at street corners (and driveways, too), and holding hands/waiting to cross with Mom and dad.  Sara wanted me to follow him, when he was going to scoot around the block (like you did!).  There's a community garden around the corner.  I sent an email to Julie in San Leandro (it's national dog day, I got a poem email about dogs, which I forwarded), who said she hopes I don't move because she (and the dogs) will miss me.

I leave Tuesday for a trip to Portland OR, for a week (21-28)
which I'm looking forward to and excited about
if I move, it won't be til Spring

my (47th) birthday is coming up.
 I want an Amazon Echo (Alexa).
I got a nice (xl) jacket, last night, at dinner with my parents

Michael Helbush, a roommate of mine here in Berkeley, is routinely enjoying my mr. coffee in the morning (or when he gets up, which could be the afternoon), napping/resting on my futon, reading the economist and "best of the best" scifi book (from san francisco, which i've already read), and listening to music from my computer on my wireless headphones (he especially likes Steely Dan and the Grateful Dead).  He's a retired philosophy professor, a presbyter at his Alameda church, an avid reader, a former student at the GTU (graduate theological union), a longtime friend of my landlord (edgar), and a talkative, friendly, jolly soul who enjoys npr and hearts of space, and lots of bacon, chicken, and eggs.  We share our food pantry provisions.  His birthday is coming in October ('55).

I have 10 roommates: Edgar, Victor, Isabel, Miguel, Antonio, Aaron, Jose, Eddie, Elias, and Michael.

I think I just look like me :-)

satan buddha jesus

love the hate haters and hating, the crime criminals and criminality, the whole ball of wax, all good. SIUFRI (stupid ignorant uneducated, foolish, retarded, incurious), too. Love everything, everyone, everywhere, always. God believes (in) everything. Faith, hope, and love. Beelzebug- satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at 3am and cannot be cast out. Karmageddon- serious bummer, the earth explodes, final reckoning, self-explanatory (from the wapo mensa invitational). It's all good, even the “bad”. If it's bad, it's part of the dialectic toward greater good, even the final solution, or the premise of Fallout (the mission impossible movie), for the sake of argument.  must there be hell for there to be a heaven? True heaven would be a universe without any hell. The devil would say someone should be in hell, for the greater good and purpose of making everyone (else) happy to NOT be suffering, grateful that it's not them, blissful by way of contrast. A virtual hell. Niffin, say. “Allright” is wrong: left, crime, evil, torture, unwritten, incorrect) (bad, illegal, unethical, immoral, unlawful) wibuicu. wrong immoral bad unethica illegal criminal unlawful.   wed. wicked evil depraved. cbavr. cruel brutal amoral vicious ruthless... BUT  does bacon really make torture forgivable? We swat flies. We kill pigs. If that's okay, then so is killing dogs, or even people? Kill butchers? Abortions, mothers with blood on their hands, abortion doctors, “doctor” -killer vigilantes, god himself, devil. Eye for an eye leaves whole world blind. Or everybody dead.  Which it'll be, anyway.  Imprison criminals. Enhanced interrogation. Waterboarding. Go to war for love and hate. The world as is is a decent construct?  Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord. Life or death. Playing god. Go to war for peace (!). until devil has the world to himself, all by himself (hell is other people). Sounds like hell to me.  A perfect world would be perfect, or (ours?) tending toward progress toward perfection at the highest possible realistic rate. Buddhist equanimity extinguishes both love and hate, attachment and aversion, so enlightened beings do not suffer, but simply exist at peace with reality, in all it's “good” and “bad” glory and infamy.  Is Buddha more God than the devil? (is there a difference between devil and satan?) Does a Buddhist love all, serve all, including the devil? God is love, believes all, makes good. Buddha is God - BIG. Was Jesus a Buddha? Better than buddha?  How does one attempt to rank sbj?

buddy-ism
no attachment or aversion to creation or destruction
m, says yoda
all-1 says bronner soap.  all in all is all we are says kurt cobain.
if it's all god, then it's all good!  

quoting Hemingway

de nada

“Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.”

The "Greatest Conceivable Existent"

a funny definition of God

it could mean:
1. God is anything you can think of
or
2. Anything possible, in reality

(and maybe there's no difference between the two, if we someday live in a Construct/Matrix)

for now, there's movies and virtual reality and dreams and books/comics, where we indulge our fantasies for perfection and super-powers, whereas stubborn reality persists (kind of nice, in the bay area, today, actually!).

God can time-travel, remains forever-young/doesn't age, can morph into anything/anyone, is omniscient (or has access to omniscience), is omnipotent (can kill anyone)(can make anything), is good (by definition, which can get a bit tricky), can fly (like superman), can make himself invisible (like the invisible man, or maybe a ninja), can teleport, has super-strength, perfect memory, can win any fight, can win any olympic event, can regenerate (say, a lost limb), can multiply (like agent smith), can heal any disease (in himself or others), is immortal, never bored, always in love, can telepathically hear thoughts/prayers, has super-speed, can freeze time, can multiply loaves and fishes, can walk on water (especially in the winter), can see/create the future, feels no pain (can turn it off or dial it down), wins Mr. Universe (or Miss America), speaks all languages, aces all tests, understands physics / reality (has a theory of everything), is an expert in all fields, a genius, an inventor, a musician, a mathematician, a psychologist, an ecologist, a carpenter, a poet, an artist, anything you need her to be (say, a dragon?).   Feel free to add to this list in the comments!
