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

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.

Meditate on

No-self, unsatisfactoriness, impermanence

We’re bodies, which are things, objects, like rocks (with mind)

cultivate virtues, weed out vices

war? what is it good for?

meat is murder


If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be -Yogi Berra


Aridity and disenchantment

impermanence vs. hungry-ghosts (well, which is it?)

Buddhism doesn’t do much for torture, I’m willing to venture

Except that it leads to compassion, and loving-kindness -  

So Buddhists won’t torture, or even become soldiers (right livelihood)

Buddhists have understanding, and want joy and the best for others -

Someone with equanimity and sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings and misfortunes of others, isn’t likely to get tortured, I’d have to say, as well.

So Buddhism does quite a bit for torture, you could also say.

Torture does something for Buddhism (!):  

    Whatever you’re going through,  

    it’s not as bad as you think it is, 

    it could be (a lot) worse

if you're going through hell, keep going


going off on 666:

in chinese, 6 sounds like 'smooth' so 666 means 'may things go smoothly'

family, friendship, forgiveness

fight for freedom

fuck for forest 

family food fight

fast-food french fries

FOX and XXX and OXO and FOO-fighters

OOO, out of order, order of operations, object-oriented ontology

   one on one, out of office, oh! oh! oh! (lol)

000, zero zero zero (emergency phone number, Australia)


pursuing persecution

the conversion conversation

supernatural resurrection (and snatch erection)

lord your god, life or death your love, pro-choice creator(s)

L or D, keep or abort: Lord Kora, Lady Bors

having the power of Brahma or Shiva, creator and destroyer

Brahma is the creator god in hinduism

Brahman is a member of hindu priesthood (highest caste), 

  or the ultimate reality,

      underlying all phenomena (All and Allah?)

debates, arguments, evidence, apologetics

Save Yourself - Stabbing Westward

every single one of us, the devil inside -INXS 

   kill your baby, murder your foetus, terminate your pregnancy

   evacuate your products of conception, flush that shit

   equivalent to a clump of cells, like a steak - no regret

putting the foe in foetus (rape, those pro-abort, or...the pope?)

Aora:  abort or put up for adoption, Aorpufa (!)
