Welcome!

I, God, welcome you to my blog!

The good book says only God is good, so it seems to me somebody needs to step up.

I hope you enjoy reading this, the Jesse Journal, as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Please feel free to subscribe, write me an email, request that I write about any particular topic you may want my perspective on, send a prayer, click on the charity link, or donate money to my bicycle fund! Have fun!

Your pal, Jess
L-I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 52) who enjoys books, getting out into nature, music, and daily exercise.

(my email is JesseGod@live.com)

F.Y.I. There are about 2200 posts..

Here's a quote from Fyodor Dostoevsky to start things off right: Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

Happy Halloween!

Hell of mean

A spooky, scary night, full of ghosts and goblins, sugar and screams, death and the devil!  The evil one walks among us!  Monsters and demons and criminals and sinners and the depraved, wicked, cruel, and sadistic revel in the darkness and horror.  Vicious beasts prowl about, stalking, hunting, killing, devouring.  The innocent timidly venture onto the doorsteps of the unknown, with the cute and childlike plea for candy, to be distributed with goodwill, and occasionally even with malice.  Who dares disturb the slumber of dreadful dreams, to awaken the villainous ghosts and zombies that inhabit this house of horrors?  Hellions screams are ignored, and the diabolical deeds of death, decay, disease, destruction, despair, disaster, and doom go unforgiven, twisting the souls of the damned.  Satan, laughing, delights in the festivities, the parade of masks, and the fate of fools, his method of madness and malice.   The burning of flesh, the torments of his captives, the satisfying fullness of a fresh meal of warm blood, the unheeded cries for help.  The brutality of his coven, the savagery of his profoundly sick underlings.   Yes, this night of all nights, he is alive.  ALIVE!!

Sleepy Babbling

journalling and current status-

Not the comfy chair!   Trivial pursuit, Terry pratchett, Thomas Pynchon.   Aguaturbia, not trivia (stupid Alexa).   The indian drowned in his tea pee (ha).  Scientology has suppressive persons, I guess I am one (and to Islam, too).   Not good to make so many enemies.  Does my blog make me “open source”?.   I love Arabic calligraphy and the Taj Mahal and listening to Quran recitation.   Christian Science and Scientology and the scientific method.  Is Karen still suicidal?   Addressing prayer to “to whom it may concern”, lol.  Kate is dystopian and revolutionary.  I have apples, oranges, bananas, sunflower seeds, pistachios, cashews, rice, beans, soup.   I have my meds and 3 tubes of toothpaste and 4 bottles of mouthwash and plenty of flossers.   I have my fish oil, multivitamin, and astragalus capsules.  Good stuff.  I’ve reduced sugar intake.   I hope I’m not still prediabetic.  And maybe I’ll escape mental illness.  There’s hope.   I have a large bag of oatmeal, my monthly supply of mushroom coffee.  I bought a new type of GNC protein powder, on the sales guy’s recommendation.  I love chili relleno burritos, pastor tacos, sushi and seaweed salads, and an occasional chipotle burrito, nation’s burger, pizza. I DON’T have any halloween candy this year (actually, I have one See’s sucker).  I didn’t even bother with the Nextdoor Treat Map this year, because NOT ONE person came to my door, last year..   I sat outside for hours, with my almond kisses.  Lesson learned, I guess.  I have 8 books on dogs; I have like a dozen masd books; I have an awesome dictionary and atlas; I have a ton of spanish materials; I have joke books, and Hiaason novels, onion compendiums; I have all the Pynchon, and almost all the DFW.  I have academic, reference books, in psychology, philosophy, general knowledge, and ecology.  I have fun books by Gaiman, Rushdie, Coetzee, Boyle, Foer, Achebe, Oates, Zadie Smith, Tan.  best short stories, big book ofs (graphic novels?), 6 or 7 cookbooks.  I’m rooting for Ukraine and the women of Iran and the Uyghurs and Tibetans and Democrats.  I have The Buddhist Path to Simplicity, A General Theory of Love, Find the Good,  The Happiness Hypothesis, Authentic Happiness, The Happiness Project.  I have 3 copies of the 10,001 songs list (from the 1001 book “you must hear”).  I’m collecting gifts for everybody, come Christmas in 2 months.  I’ll be sitting for Thanksgiving and Christmas, in Benicia maybe.  I don’t have my Kaleb dates for November yet.  I might be walking Snoopy and Shelby on weekends too, if Mimi gives them to me.  My nephews and my brother and his wife are all dressing up Star Wars.  I’m looking forward to seeing their costumes (and my cousin and her husband and 2 daughters, don’t know the theme).  I plan on going to Sausalito next month for Patrick’s ashes going in the bay/cove.  I’m enjoying my new socks and underwear.  I’m listening to psychedelia, from the wikipedia list, in my bookmarks.  I gave a ton of change to the corner store.   You’d think they’d offer me something.  Nope.  I should boycott them.  It’s mostly a liquor store, and almost everything is junk.   The people there can be sketchy, too.  And you always have to ask for a receipt.  I wonder when or if Sara Pierre Augie and Hugo are going to Mexico, again.  I’m playing Andromeda (good fit), I’m beat from shoveling and spreading wood chips all morning.  BART took awhile.  I got off at Fremont, and boarded at South Fremont/Warm Springs.  I left while it was still dark.  I got $30 as reward for volunteering (plus lunch).  Sara doesn’t like me, I think.   She can’t be bothered to text back.  And If I’m not a friend, then why would I consider moving to Portland?  I really hope the Dems retain control of the house and senate.  Really, really, really.   I have a ton of trivia cards to fill the time.  I have several boxes of stuff I’ve written that I should review, incorporate into blog.  I want to publish, too.  Maybe I should be active on twitter.  And write in sentences, not lines.   I have a bunch of bathroom readers.   Not sure if that’s better, worse, or the same as TP!   I’m expecting a trivial pursuit set next month.  One of the last remaining sets for my collection.  I should probably take a shower after all that dirty work at MSJ today.  I like my new JBL speaker.   I like my kalx pocket fm radio (old school).  I wish my phone could stream music away from the house wifi, without eating up roaming or whatever.  I have a ton of email and news I haven’t read.  And a stack of books in my room.  My room is full.   Time to get rid of cassettes, I think, lol.  CD’s too.   Lionel Messi and the messiah and the world to come, and messy cum (anne and  nick?).  The medium is the message, a messy sage, a small medium at large.  Bliss in the abyss.  Colony collapse disorder is not a blessing, although it is less bees.  Abyssinian bliss.  Todd the modern God.   (odd body cod Fahd gaudy lawed Maud nod pod quad rod sod wad, general zod).   yod hey vod hey.  vod, vav, waw.   I dunno.  organismic orgasm spasm.  dreaming about dreams.  everybody thrives, not just survives.  a utopia trope.

Umbrella Tent

What is this?

It’s not Christian.   I don’t believe in heaven.  Jesus is dead.   Souls don’t exist.  He’s not coming back.  And angels don’t exist, either.  Heaven and hell are love-bliss and torture, respectively, both on earth, while alive.  I mean, maybe it’s christian if the Pope agrees with me, or something.  I don’t imagine he does (or would say so, if he did)

It’s not Buddhist.  Buddhists believe in both impermanence and rebirths.  I think they’re confused.  Rebirth, or “born-again” is only when we wake up to a new day, for example, or start a new chapter in our lives, like becoming a parent, getting married, or whatnot  After you die, you’re dead, no hungry ghosts or whatever, okay?  Plus, Buddhist bliss, nirvana, seems to be wrapped up in silence, meditation, and deep realization, which to me stands in opposition to the enlightenment of every day life, going about your business in a messy, loud, surface-level world.   A world that reminds me of pinball, being bounced around from person, activity, thoughts, and ideas as things pop up.  I like both modes, and life is messy, so it’s good to do mind-maintenance by meditating, writing, and reading or listening to scripture.   As well as plunging into the madness of life.  Kind of a yin and yang, I guess.   Monkey mind and tranquility.   Life has its storms and its stillness, both.

    Well, maybe it is Buddhist.   Buddhism is a pretty wide umbrella, big tent.  But maybe I’m creating my own religion, with only one member, me.  That idea makes me happy.  Maybe I’ll find a wife who subscribes to the same tenets.   Not that I’d only marry one who did.   But that would be fun, I think.   I don't believe in karma, either.  There's a lot of undeserved, pointless suffering.

 

It’s not Muslim.   I’m not claiming to be Allah.  I read the Quran, and wasn’t impressed.  Islam is lame.  A little mosque is a mosquito, eh?  I don’t even remember what specifically I disagree with, because it was pretty much everything.  My voice (an attorney) says I’m law.   So maybe I AM ALL LAW.   Ha.  Teshara is close to Sharia.  So there.


It’s definitely not Jewish.  Like I’m a member of God’s chosen people.  With all those silly rules.  As if God would ever separate himself from all but 0.21% of humanity.   Less than 1 percent. And be so god-damn fucking absurd.  Jews think the (real) Messiah will eliminate all disease.   As if that’s even possible.


Am I atheist?  Depends which God I’m supposed to not believe in.  I believe in myself.  Maybe you think that makes me the devil.   Well, I think that makes me God.  And you can do the same thing.  Why would you submit to a ghost?  Or a priest?  Or anyone?  Be good, by your own lights.  Right?  

     I exercise godly degree of self-control in not killing every effing bastard I meet, basically everybody.   So I deserve to be worshipped for grace and mercy, from anyone I have the power to wipe off this god-forsaken planet, which is everyone (speaking for God?).  Okay?  God is the darkest of all.  Why would christians implore god to have mercy, if He wasn’t disgusted by them, didn’t want to kill ‘em all, right?  God is virtuous simply by doing nothing.  I get it.   


A puppet in the pulpit.  Salvation from salivation.  The messiah makes a mess.  The deity is die TY.   Y is christ on the cross (T).  Jesus in spanish is Hey Zeus.  Jess, U.   Jesse in spansh is also Isai.   Isa is Jesus in arabic.   I’m not quite speaking in tongues, but I’m getting there.  I’ve eaten a lengua (tongue) burrito.  And seso (brain).  And a scorpion, in China.  Salty and crispy. And an ant.  It was bitter, gross.  And a bite of a snake (chewy, like clam).  Anyway, have I said everything?  Ha.   I’ll read The Aletheon, by Adi Da, which purports to do just that.  Then I’ll write my bit, and maybe then, I can claim the same.   We’ll see.  (They say he died on the last day of writing it).  Maybe I'm a part of Adidam.


I want to live a thousand years.  Maybe forever (or maybe not, lol).  But 100 is just too few.  Aging sucks.  I want to stop aging.  I’m already losing vision.  Life is fun.  There’s a zillion things I want to do.  I could do the first zillion in my room.  Everyone dies.   Sigh.  Oh well.

What to Know

WOW, words of wisdom

•No one lives forever.   Everyone dies.  Everyone is dying.


•Respect one another.  Be kind.  Be good.  Obey the law.  Stay out of jail, prison.


•Read a lot.  Libraries are free.  Free entertainment, education.  Books, movies, music.


•Variety is the spice of life.  Mix it up.  Keep things fresh.  New people, places, foods, activities.


•Be healthy.  Live long and prosper.  Eat, sleep, exercise, meditate.  Stretch.  Stay clean.  Walk dogs.  Grow plants.  Don’t oversleep.  Take the stairs.  Make your bed.  Brush, floss, rinse.


•Be prepared. Know first aid.  Learn self-defense. Know how to turn off the gas.


•Volunteer, have a hobby, do what you enjoy.   Enjoy life.  


•Make friends, fall in love, be a part of communit(ies)


•Make the world a better place.  Be of service.  Be a leader.  Set an example.


•Keep it simple.  We are animals. We are bodies.  All we are doing is moving stuff around.  We are tubes, like worms, from mouth to anus.  Souls don’t exist.  We are living things.  But we are things, nonetheless.  We are on a rock in space.  Earth is as heavenly as it gets.  We are adapted to earth through evolution.   Reality is all the God there ever is.  The universe is infinite, in both directions.  We are infinitely small, and infinitely big.  We are all in our own skull-sized universes.  Love-bliss is the highest heaven.  All things are impermanent.


•Be good to yourself.  To my way of thinking, you are the master of your own domain.  The God of your own you-niverse.  Be alive!  Engage! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.  And learn from the mistakes of others.  I like to immerse in all religions, all gods, all philosophies.  Life is short.  Ideally, no regrets!
