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
I'm a straight, virgo/boar INTJ (age 53) 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.

Root of David, Ace Young, Blue October

Rodaybo!   My girlfriend calls me these things 

1.Blue October, 

from Houston TX. (there’s also a British band of the same name)

Band of 5.   Named after the morose feeling of the band members in Fall of ’95.

There are 9 other, past, members of the band.

    The 5 are Justin Furstenfeld, Jeremy Furstenfeld, Ryan Delahoussaye, Matt Noveskey, Steve Schiltz.    

   The 9 are Liz Mulally, Bryan Coulter, CB Hudson, Dwayne Casey, Piper Skih, Julian Mandrake, Matthew Ostrander, Will Knaak, Sus Vasquez

They have 13 albums.  Some song/album titles are:

Hate Me, His Name is Crazy, Consent to Treatment, The Feel Again, The Scar, Still Broken, Bleed Out, Fear, Angels in Everything, I hope you’re happy, Fight for Love

   (is she calling me One?  Satan? Is it a political thing?  (blue or red November!),

    or, Justin Furs enfeld?  I remind her of him?  or, maybe, lyrics from something?)


Or, a cloud of possibility:

    numbers: 

2/4/5/6/8 plus 1/2/6/8/10 (1-31)

Blue (blu, 8), (blue, 4), (roygbiv: 5, 5th color), (sad, blew, 6), (2, multiple interpretations)

October (10, tenth month), (6, O, the first letter, or the entire sum), (1-31, any of the 31 days), (8, Octo-), 2 (multiple interpretations), 1 (ten, condensed).

    conceptual:

a color and a month (sort of randomly chosen), sad satan, blew halloween (22, 88, 46)

   46 is forensics, 88 is his holiness, 22 is V for vampire, God is One


2.Ace Young

Singer, AI contestant, from Boulder Colorado

American idol, 5th season, married to another one (Diana DeGarmo), 3rd. 

Brett “Ace” Young ("bay" area)

    ("ace young snake man"  19, S)

ACE (American Council on Exercise), they have an online exercise library

     ace, hard...where?

All Created Equal


     numbers:  Ace (1, 4.0, 9, 10),  Young (7, 10, 53 years young) (!) (ten ten, cross)

spirit fog, ace young, Jesus...


3.Root of David

Revelation 22:16-21

Rod and staff

Pull up the root and set fire to it

And the spirit and the bride say, Come.   And let him that is athirst, come.  And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.   Surely I come quickly.  Amen.  Even so, come Lord Jesus. 

     (Jesse tree reference, Jesse T)


numbers: root (5) of (3) David (4);  ROD (10)  (evil satan?)


So, she's calling me 16 (other) people??

Weird world.

ROD/AY/BO


invasion of the body snatchers, insane bullshit, 

irritable bowel syndrome, ideal body size, Isaac Bashevis Singer 

call in the authorities!!

the "real police", CSI, FBI, DEA, fire department, CIA  

who are the fake police (citizen's arrests?)

    "almost always better to call the police"

MO, Missouri, modus operandi, moral obligation (to act)

how citizen's arrests work:

    Penal Code 837:  a private person may arrest another, 1. for a public offense committed or attempted in his presence., 2. when the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his presence., 3. when a felony has been in fact committed, and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it. 

("private citizens do not enjoy the same immunity from civil liability as police officers do") (for example, on charges of unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, wrongful arrest, or kidnapping) (you can arrest alone, or with help) (you have to inform the person you are arresting, and provide a reason).

   CSI is a part of forensics.  (crime scene investigation).  Police and FBI both do CSI.    It's not a separate organization.   But it also stands for Crime Stoppers International, an organization.  

   DEA is drug enforcement agency (a is for "administration", actually).  They don't force people to take their meds.  They're not the DA (district attorney).   They pursue domestic and international investigations.  They share concurrent jurisdiction with FBI, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection.  They're part of the intelligence community.

    Langley (metonym for CIA), actually has NO law enforcement function, and gathers information primarily from abroad, with only limited collection, domestically.   It has 5 priorities, acc. to: Wikipedia (1. terrorism (counterterrorism), 2. wmd (weapons of mass destruction), 3. policymaker warnings, 4. counterintelligence, 5. cyber intel ).
