Word of God

And the word is... 'Pershnoodle-zip' 

Every book in any library is All Entirely the Word of God, if you ask me

cosmically comic antics of astral Astrid caused Mick to kill ants and ticks!   I bought some smack and crack and cognac, put them in my backpack, and went back to Jack (in the box), for some meat that tastes like yak and quack.  G-D?   God Damn.   Pre and Post - Judgment Demons.  Pure, unrepentant psychopathic monster demons.    Profane and profound professor is my profitable profession!  Homage to the mage.  Heidi Klum eats clams with Clem in any clime.   Do you grasp that I wake up gasping?  You're supposed to sleep in cold dark and quiet, not this old riot!   Electricity cost money in this funny city.   Wyatt's diet consists of what he spies at Hyatt, like pie he buys with rye, or (sigh, why) sly fly guys like Kai or Jai.   Mai oh my.   Zane says he has Hanes in his veins.

Brain Pain make me Insane!!!   Insane, like rain down the drain in vain, miss Jane and mister Lane Caine.   It waxes and wanes, like the cranes on the plains of Spain, you Dane.  But they say, no pain, no gain.   That is All-so SO insane.  The bane of my brain is tainted rain, Mr. Wayne from Maine.   In Seine in the membrane.   I AM fain to say, insanity is not always insane.  Sanity is like the vanity of a manatee.   I like manatees;  the manatee likes me;  we like ourselves.   Me, myself, and I and we done caught ourselves a varmint and No-Self.   Machine elves and all my selves :-).   Self, I sez, you is right kindly, I says to myself.  The author puts himself on the shelf.   Like the libra section of the library.  Or the non-fiction section, where the facts are in the stacks.   God refers to Himself as a We.    Lots of roles, minimal fixed identity, and Fluid Psyche in a Changing Body.   All the Universe is a Stage.   Only God is good.  Reality is all the God there ever is.  It's all good?   

Do all acts merit any response?  Ignoring people or actively involved, hate or love, everything from horrific vengeance of righteous anger to kindly forgiveness, mercy, and friendly affection?   Are consequences and judgment and fairness basically irrelevant?  I think everyone should be free.   I believe in freedom.   Free your mind.    The whole world should be able to go anywhere, think say do anything.   Wait, no.   I don't believe this.  No law?   I like private property.  So you can't go some places.  It WOULD be nice if everyone shared everything, though.   DO anything?   I like mutual respect and kindness, so all the law and justice against criminality basically still stands.  The freedom to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose.  Actually, if you give someone a heart attack, you're liable, right? 

IF

If you're a Buddha, love everyone unconditionally with kindness, compassion, cheer, and gratitude.

If you're a pos, flush yourself

If you're a garbageman, take out the trash

If you're an exterminator, squash them like bugs

If you're God, be Good

If you're the Devil, Repent!

If you wanna ride - ride the white horse! (I'm told 'the white horse' is cocaine; sorry. - it's a 1983 song by Laid Back) 

If you wanna be my lover - Spice Girls

If, then is Basic programming.   Conditions.   Heal thyself.

 Good Gawd man! God's good guide goaded you to get geysers of geezer's gay guy goo?!?

Anal sex horndogs like the old Blue Diamond commercial ("A Can a week is all we ask").

hot dogs are neither dogs nor cooked cock, but they are delicious.

Take another little pizza my heart now, baby.    

The Rock was listening to rock music, while watching the rocket from his rocker;   The genial genius genie chose Jean and Gene's genes, to wear in his jeans (in the lamp);  The genie became a meanie because his lamp was damp, and he couldn't change his home on the range;  A profusion of confessions and a confusion of professions;   concupiscent concubine, relieved to relive, moments and pop-ents, with intense interns, and a wrecked rector;   I don't understand the word 'overstand'; rheumatism and house-autism, analgesic laxative diuretics and oralgesic strictative livuretics.   Can wolves cry?  Do crying wolves cry wolf?  The (vicious and malicious) vampire used vials because guile was her style, to avoid trials and piles of files.   I wandered the aisles for miles and wondered what Simone Biles and Noah Wyles ate, if it isn't too late, or if it's just pathetic to try to be athletic.   Dianetics recommends diuretics (to Diana).  I broke all records for breaking vinyl.  I miss that mass of mess.  Zingo, LaRoche, and Snickerdoodle are my 3 spirit-dogs.   

Most crime in our minds is imaginary, I believe (especially if it's heartbreaking and heinous acts of hardened criminals performing acts of violent abuse of children, force-rape, murder, cannibalism, etc.), but there's the occasional psycho that goes off the rails, and even good people can get crazy.  Life is good, and for the most part we do not live in some kind of hellish wasteland of injustice, slavery, captivity, torture, and beatings.  But alter-egos, name changes, multiple personalities, variable roles and circumstances, and things like drugs or hypnosis can change people (radically).  Food, relationships, manipulation, and things like new jobs or being in jail/prison or something, all change identities and behavior and personality.   Traumas need to be heard, understood, and perpetrators dealt with and forgiven, so victims can move on with their lives and grow.   Imaginary traumas can seem as bad as real ones, if we think we're seeing them in our minds for some troubling reason, or if we think they're real.   Personally, I think telepaths like to fuck with us.  It's usually about money.  I even suspect most Real heinous crime is performed for understandable and even forgivable reasons, if you grasp the totality of the situation.   The outrage is still merited.

G and B

Good and Bad

God and Devil, Sin and Virtue, Heaven and Hell

G-D is just a symbolic representation of Good (the creator of, the source of, Good embodied)

Devil is, likewise, Evil (d is the 4th letter, so I think of "for evil")

Heaven is Bliss, Happiness, Contentment, neutral (non-suffering).   It can be a State or a Place.

Hell is Pain and Suffering, Torture and Torment, Discontent and Misery and Depression.   Things like agony and nausea and bother and anguish and hopeless despair.   Feeling troubled, anxious, frustrated, powerless.  Grief, disgust, futility, meaninglessness, pointlessness, emptiness, defeated.

Heaven and Hell are different "neighborhoods" of the same place (Earth, The Universe).

If you're in heaven you're not in hell (you're happy not miserable, resentful, angry), and vice versa.

They say hell can be heaven, and heaven hell: it's all in your head.

Sin is crime, vice, immorality, bad (breaking God's law, the UTM, universal theistic morality).  VICKI, (vice illegality crime killing immorality) (vile insane cruel kidnapping ignoramus) (valuable impressive  compassionate kind intelligent).

Good is Health, Happiness*, Pleasure, Virtue, Truth, Beauty, Love, Peace, Prosperity, Comfort, Kindness, Mercy, Forgiveness, Justice, Fairness, Safety and Security, Trustworthiness, Loyalty, Helpfulness/Service, Friendliness, Courtesy, Obedience, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, Reverent, Contentment, Satisfaction, Equanimity, Compassion, Patience, Gentleness, Forbearance...  (loyalty, obedience, and reverence are ranked last on my list, though).    Unity, community, teamwork, cooperation, togetherness, family.  Goods are good, services too, capitalism and a well-oiled economy of hard-working, altruistic, non-greedy workers as well, but the profit-motive works wonders, and to be rich is glorious, and wealth and prosperity are well and proper!   

What pairs well with being rich?  Spending well, not hoarding.   Generosity, charity, selflessness, sacrifice, service, giving, good will, concern, beneficence, benevolence, magnanimity, hospitality, grace, geniality.   Most bang for buck, most happiness/dollar.    Bliss/buck, delight/dollar, pleasure per penny, most merriment for your money, you could say.   Maximized mirth.  Greatest glee for your gold.   The most gladness for your green.    The most cheer for your change.   Warmth and wellness for your wealth!

Factors of Omniscience: Truth, Science, Facts, Curiosity, Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Engagement, Research, Reflection, Enlightenment.

Some think it's all good.  With realization, acceptance, understanding.  Without attachments, aversion.

Joy, Happiness, Bliss, Ecstasy, Cheer, Contentment, Satisfaction, Comfort, Well-fed, Healthy, Secure, Basic Needs met (food, shelter, clothing, bedding, warmth, hygiene), Ease, Love, Appreciation, Gratitude, Community, Friendship, Pleasure, Merriment, Elation, Delight, Euphoria, Glee, Jovial, Frolic, Felicity, Jollity, Mirth, Glad, Gay, Jocund, Laughing, Smiling, Rejoicing, Exultant, Riant, Pleased, Gratified, Positive, Optimistic, Fortunate, Successful, Victorious, Untroubled, Peaceful, Fulfilled.

You are your own You-phoric You-niverse!   (Eureka, cries Euclid;    The You-nity of eu/ you/ yoo/ u/ yu/ yiu/ yeu/ and yew!  Y'all).    Yahweh and Allah, y'all.    YAYOG.   You are your own god.    I realize this may sound absurd.   I mean, you probably didn't create the Eternal Heavens, eh?   But you DO have agency over your mind and experience, and world.   You are the principal architect of your own Good Life.

.. drinking a yoo-hoo under a yew tree in Utah during Yule, listening to a euphonic ukulele, governed by eudemonia.    I'm euchred! said Yuri, after attempting to explain the difference between eugenics and euphenics.    The priest administered the eucharist under the eucalyptus tree in Yuma, after the eulogy.   Euphemisms and Me-phemisms!   For example, e.g., ISMs could be euphemistic for Insane Stupid Monsters.  Monster could be an acronym for Merciless Onerous Nasty Stupid Tormenting Evil Radge!  'Britney Spears' is an anagram for 'Presbyterians.'   POS-ISM, piece of shit, insane stupid monster.  IT-IV, incubus terror, ignorant villain.   (Positivism is the philosophy of believing only assertions backed by LAMP, logical and mathematical proof, or scientifically verifiable (through observation and reason) fact).   It's not about being giddy, overjoyed, or perky.   A positivist can be gloomy, actually.  Gloom-Doom isn't considered good, usually, but not everyone is the same.    Some seem the same, but defer to the different.   Like those in a queer choir.   Or Avalokiteshvara marrying Kali.   

Gratified Optimistic Pleased      and    Delighted Ecstatic Merry :-)

you are NOT what you THOUGHT

I'm caught on a yacht I bought (and sought) with a hot daughter in the water.     I've been taught (since I was a tot) to jot a lot of rot.   I sought pot with my dippin' dots to get higher than a guy on pie.    Why, sigh, is the end nigh, Jai?  Because we all must die (!), said the guy in the sky!!!  But life goes on, from dusk to dawn, even after you're gone, said John (yawn).  Prawns aren't pawns in oceanic chess, but ling cod are king Gods!  Lord swordfish and holy mackerel!  Perch at church.  Frogs and hogs at synagogue.  Oscar at the mosque.   Pearls before swine?  Pearls are just rocks and swine are god's holy creatures, just like you and I!   PBS.   Viewers like you.  I'm glad they do.   Bots ought to be taught thought.  

I enjoy the process of writing this, and I'm glad it's out there (being read), and monetizing it would be icing on the cake, as they say.   Writing is fun, brings clarity, shares ideas, and stimulates thought.  Writing is right.  It's a daily rite.   

rude food.  tasty waste.  poison in the hoi sin sauce.  damned ham, lamb, and jam.  the witch ate something rich.  the piece of shit enjoyed a piece of pie.   the lowlife enjoyed a high life.   the scumbag enjoyed his dime bag.  a loser with a laser was a boozer, and the offender went on a bender, and the wrongdoer used a bong.  the jerk enjoyed his jerky.  is the rotten not written?   the shithead bit and was fed.  the snake ate his cake.  eat your stupid soup.  the thief ate some beef.   the bully ate bull. the burglar ate a burger.  the bug had a mug.  the doer of vice had a bowl of rice.  women'll get criminal.  steal her purse, and get accursed.  the killin' villain ate her fill of dill.  the sinner ate dinner, and the felon ate a melon, and the delinquent something piquant.   those with malice still drink from the chalice.  the corrupt drink from the cup.  rapists eat papists.  yes, sir, I ate the transgressor.   His precious flesh was delish.   Chewing on cheaters and child abusers, eatin' Satan, devouring the devil, and munching on the occasional mensch.    Fugu ain't necessarily goo foo (good food).   Foo Fighters and food fighters.

Allen the alien, birthing an earthling, says space is the place, for his son Yun, who belongs in Heaven #7.   Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary...   amenorrhea, amen!   Allah, hallelujah!  Jose, hosanna!   PLT, praise the lord!  GT, good times!   Jack found a jacket at Jack in the box, when he went to Wendy's.   Trump at McDonald's, Don T reads Dante.  Carl's Jr.  snarls at Petunia.   Burgers are for burghers.  Sandwiches are for witches on the beach.   And pizza can't be beat, says Pete, who goes to eat the heated meat, at his own seat.  I ache for a steak, said Jake.

War Angels

 agents of God's protection and vengeance

Have swords of fire, and are ferocious fighters and rescuers, and swoop down from above with the element of surprise, and defend heaven, take out evil entities, and smite the wicked to Oblivion (kills bugs dead).   They do things like defeat dragons, and hellions, and demons, and monsters, and sinful cruel ruthless evil wicked depraved ee's.   Praise God!  Allahu Akbar!    

mom, what does hard-hearted mean?  well, it doesn't mean eating fatty foods, although that does make your heart literally harder, I think.   It means keeping yourself from feeling.   If you prevent yourself from having emotions, you are hard-hearted.   There are 2 songs I think of about this: Harden my heart, by Quarterflash.   And Murder by Numbers, by The Police ("first you make a stone of your heart").   Both are rock songs.   That is my perhaps dour treatment of this topic.   Ahem.    Okay, google says: Heart calcification can happen by normal aging, diabetes, kidney disease, or even physical trauma to the chest.   But the exact hardening mechanism is still largely unknown.   Do murderers really have harder hearts?  Once you die, of course, the entire body hardens in a process called rigor mortis, which means 'stiffness of death' in latin.  A heart surgeon might think your heart is hard to operate on if it is abnormal or something.   Heart is a band, and some songs are probably harder to play than others.   Maybe some animal's hearts are really hard, compared to a jellyfish heart or something.   You can make your heart work "hard".  And finally, there's Gary Hart and hard like having an erection and rocks in the shape of hearts and times when it is hard to be compassionate.   

why didn't we go to service this morning?   the spirit moved us to stay in bed!   the new mattress is a black hole of comfort, plus sleepiness, and cold and rain, and a desire to do other things instead, like breakfast or blogging or lazy waking up without the rush and pressure and chaos and stress :-)  Plus I'm my own religion, and I've thought about all that stuff already, and I don't need people trying to make me join their church, and maybe I don't agree with their beliefs anyway.   Church can be an aggravation.  Amen to that.

old school beauty and fashion, retro styling, classic sensibility, and vintage aesthetics

seer, sister christian, anointed bride of christ, daughter of god, vessel-body, high holy priestess, mother of the eternal, beyond a god in heaven, already in heaven, a member of the heavenly host, "in my heaven."

heaven is a state of bliss (anywhere).   Or, some dimension, some plane of existence, some dream-world.   Where God lives.   The (shared) mind of couples in love.    Astral plane?  Paradise, California?  Hell, Norway?  Home is where the heart is.  Heaven vs. Hell vs. Earth - it's all Earth! (unless you're an astronaut).  The "heavens" (more than one blissful experience, more than one person in bliss, more than one happy place).  Which side of the predator-prey equation are you on?  If you're a sadist, a dungeon could be heavenly, not just Disneyland.  "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens" - Talking Heads.   Heaven is not being in hell.   Some say it's all in your head, it's an attitude, it's pleasure, or it's space (the "heavens").  I say heaven, as conventionally understood, is wishful-thinking delusion, because eternal bliss is impossible (no-one lives forever), space is a dark cold boring vast hellhole, and souls don't even exist in the first place.  So enjoy life and make it heavenly.   Appreciate the one life you've got / been given.  One man's hell is another's heaven.  Live in your own heaven!   Make your head a fun place to be.  Stay out of hell.   Torment, torture, torah, and torque?  Anyway, nothing lasts forever.   Hell is a wishful-thinking delusion, too.  But sure as hell, pain and suffering exist, and things CAN get worse.   I don't think anybody should be fantasizing about hell (for anyone).   Wish the world well, and karma spits back good vibes, good will, good times.   Amen.  (but the concept of hell serves its purpose).

Some may never live, but the crazy never die - Hunter S. Thompson

why are people 5150'd and medicated?   because they're different, and "need" to conform (they have weird behavior, strange beliefs, unusual appearance, or abnormal ideation);  because it's a crazy world; because they're a danger to self or others (or perceived as threatening);  or, they are sick, i.e. mentally ill (that is to say, psychotic (having psychosis), which is hallucinations and/or delusions (is everybody crazy?).   Hallucinations are false perceptions, and delusions are false beliefs.   So not in touch with Reality.  "reality".   Some think everything is true.   the Bible states only God is good, and that God is love, and also love believes all things.   SO...

different systems:  "beast-system: (predator and prey?  Nature red in tooth and claw?) and in-love (in God).    Devouring meat and making love.   Same system.   Sister system.   STEM, space time energy matter / science technology engineering math.    brain stem.   (does the devil say we're living in God's cartoon?  animated by virtue!) anima, soul.   Your soul is whatever animates you??  okay, I believe.

Speaking of Reality.   Is Time forever?  Is existence itself eternal?   Is the good book telling us to believe any and all and each and every assertion ever made?? (!) If life is a game, is happiness zero-sum?  If there is the Good Life, is there also a Better Life, or a Best Life?   Who has lived the best life possible?  Blippy? lol.

I ain't gonna use no double negative, two wrongs don't make a right, redundant repetitive pleonasm, evil and wicked, sin and crime, all eternity, now and forever (it's always now), forever and always, forever and ever, the heavens and the universe.

"Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms" -kid song.  (well, we're all wormfood; the worms are going to eat you, too).  her-bivores and his-bivores!  carnivores eat cars.  America is Erica.  Now she only eats guitars! get up!  gooey tar, baby.  devil lived, and dog god and rat tar.   snake snack.  a mouse in the house.   eat my seat, Pete.   I'd rather eat meat, or wheat.   chow on a chow-chow.  a fluffer.  eucharistic dogmeat.   you a christ. dogma.  catma.  a catholic dog.  a dogmatic cat.  a holy hologram.  a wicked candle.  an unholy goal.  blessed bliss.  sacred ache.  seeking sick psych for sex sake?   happy hippies and miserable misers and depressed journalists and overjoyed Rover!   rhyme time.   rhyme crime?  murdering birds and killing bill and the cannibal that ate Gates.   I'm rhyme!  De-husk Musk!  There is happiness in authenticity.   But also, medication, if necessary.

Best way to spend money for happiness?  Save the world (warming, pollution, sickness - planetary survival).   Save individuals (homeless, starving, diseased and dying).   Save yourself (variety, food and drugs, humor, love, your body, entertainment, service, hobby/passion).   Look within, and love life.  Do what you gotta do, and do what you want, and do what you should.   

Supreme Being is Somebody is (any) Sentient Being (we All want good);   everything is interconnected, and all in all is all we are, and, as Dr. Bronner likes to say, All-1!    (unified system, shared planet, ecosystem, United Nations, goods money services people diseases, one world is enough for all of us), humankind and kindness and community and communion and one giant corporate entity, like an ant colony, with shared mind and goals.

God has furious anger of righteous judgment, visiting vengeance upon thee, oh wicked Babylon!  (Babylon is a place devoted to materialism and sensual pleasure); the mind, the spiritual, the internal, you could say is as or more important to Happiness as things.   Evil sinners (criminals) go to jail and prison.   People who deserve punishment but get away with it?  THEY receive eternal hellfire judgment.    Sometimes the punishment is worse than the crime.  And therefore a type of crime, itself.  Sometimes crimes are forgiven or understood or turned a blind eye to, because they are just(ice).   Sometimes psy war is all you can do.  

life is messy; so maybe disorganized thought and speech is therefore rational.   I think you need to clean up the mess in your head, myself.  Says the spotted hyena with the spotless mind, according to Messy Jesse.  Zombies like word salad and brain stew.   Chuy + Stu eating Wendy + Jack.   You can't dance the polka without wearing polka-dots?   lol, they are unrelated, except for the fact they were both popular at the same time.   Ahmed?  Medicate, meditate, and a trip to the Mediterranean!

if your power goes out, leave the breakers alone, says one source on internet.   Also, if you overload a circuit, and a breaker flips, and you lose (partial) power, then only flip individual breakers if you suspect a specific circuit is causing the outage;  (unnecessary flipping of breakers can be damaging and is not recommended).  So only flip necessary breakers. 

12 full moons, one a month, each with its own name (one a month, on average; sometimes there are more than 12 in a year, because the calendar year is not perfectly aligned with the moon cycle):   January (Wolf moon), February (Snow moon), March (Worm moon), April (Pink moon), May (Flower moon), June (Strawberry moon), July (Buck moon), August (Sturgeon moon), September (Corn/Harvest moon), October (Hunter moon), November (Beaver moon), December (Cold moon).

What's the difference between an Idea and a Concept?

Eye Sea, aqueous humour, haha

An idea is a basic, often vague, thought or mental impression, while a "concept" is a more developed and structured understanding of an idea, usually involving a more well-defined set of characteristics and relationships, making it a more concrete representation of something;  essentially, an idea is an initial spark, while a concept is the refined version that has been more carefully thought out and developed.

-google

idea from intuition, inspiration;  concept from analysis (CIA?  conceptual idea analysis!)

funny humours and liquidity:  blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile (a laugh riot);  a "liquid" asset can be turned to cash easily (like blood donations?  sperm donations? water and wine/ oil and coke/ perfume and cologne/ etc. ).  I know, I know.    A liquid asset doesn't have to be a liquid.   It can be a solid or gas, lol.

 I want to have a hobby as a blogger (different blog than this) of day-by-day history and news (starting I guess 1/01/2026), drawing on the daily news, this day in history (history channel book/wikipedia page), the grim reaper's book of days, the day's poem (poetry foundation), and my page-a-day calendar.

Like everybody else, I like sex, sleep, reading, eating, exercise, music, and meditation... plus writing and research.   (read the same book together (aloud?), and discuss)

About Humanity

Bipedal Monkeys who Talk

 Humans are animals.  Naked apes.   Our scientific name is homo sapiens sapiens.   This means 'wise man'.     Homo means 'man', not gay.   Homo means 'same', also.   Man is from latin, and same is from greek (different roots).  We are the only species of homo now living.   There were 8 other (now non-existent) species living along side us 300,000 years ago (homo neanderthalensis, homo erectus, homo heidelbergensis, homo floresiansis, homo naledi, homo rhodensiensus, homo luzonensis, and The Denisovans).  The Smithsonian recognizes at least 21 species of homo (human).   There's a rudolfensis, for example.   Everybody is derived/evolved from Australopithecus.   You can buy a 'bone clone' (osteological reproduction) of an Australopithecus skull ('Lucy'), I saw, online, for $336.   The cradle of all humanity is scientifically understood to be in Africa.   So we're all Africans.   Even the whites.   (In fact, modern Africans include whites, such as the South Africans).   There's also N. African Arabs as well as the melting pot situations of the many immigrants into Africa, too.   The motto of the African Union is in fact, "U.S.A."  (A United and Strong Africa).   The etymology of the word 'Africa/Afrika' by the way, is Afru-ika (egyptian for 'motherland'), aphrike (greek for 'without cold'), and aprica (latin for 'sunny').   Afrique is the French, if you wanna get freaky :-)

 How did the oceans get salty?   The whales wailed, and filled the seas with their tears.  Big as a wail.    Although the Blue Oyster Cult says it was the oysters.  People say a whale of a time and as happy as a clam, but they have feelings and are multidimensional.  I'm skeptical of the clam claim.  The weeping willows dripped into the streams, which emptied into the rivers, and then the ocean, of course.  But mostly the cries of the animals being eaten and hunted and slaughtered and dying have filled the air with the rain clouds that have poured down upon the earth and seas, providing us all with water to drink and a place for fish!

Why is the sky blue? The sky is blue because God has blue eyes and the water from his tears are blue, and the blue iris flower sprouted from the drops of his tears, when he mourned and cried over the death of His water-daughter, Keli Jean of Heaven, and drank Skyy vodka to drown His sorrows, and his weeping and anguish inundated the earth and seas and skies, leaving the world stained blue.

Why is the world round?  The world is round because the Goddess likes music, and She has a large record collection, and She wanted a planet to keep it all on, so She decided her planet should be a gigantic spinning record, full of music to fill the air, vibrant with song and tunes and dance and singing and clapping and merry-making, night and day.   The Goddess wanted to be the belle of the ball, so she made her planet a huge giant orb, with a Song Dynasty and everything happening in concert.

Why are people mean?  People are mean because people are animals, and come from the trees, and everything in Nature is connected.  We have pets, and dogs chase cats and bark at other dogs, cats toy with mice, and mice eat insects.   Humans are carnivores, and we are at the top of the food chain.   Dominance and power come with cruelty and force, and the humans who rule are often the beasts who are most cruel.  Our hundreds of thousands of years of history have made dominating societies conquer other, less brutal ones, with guns and steel.  People are full of spite, hatreds, resentment, and malice for personal and historical perceived injustices, real and imagined.  God has inflicted terrible fates, such as disease and famine and war, upon civilized and mostly harmless peoples.   Life is unfair.   People want blood.   People need justice and revenge and payback.  People are mean because of culture, chemicals, traumas, and triggers.  Life is a shit-show, full of ignorance and incompetence and misery and poverty and suffering and sadness and grief.  If people are mean to you, it is difficult for you not to be mean to others.  It is self-perpetuating.  You have an evil wolf inside of you that devours everyone, and you have a gentle lamb, too... which one takes over your personality?  answer: the one you feed!  When all of Nature is eating each other, the real question is why are some people kind? 

Why do dogs have tails?  So they can wag, of course!  But why do they wag?   They can't talk!   And dogs are notoriously flatulent!   They need to scatter their farts around, so their owners won't kick them out, and so other dogs far and wide can smell their brethren, which is their way of communicating, along with pee-mail, and duping the stupid puppies with goopy poop.   Woop woop!   It throws them for a loop.   Poop is like rupees to Snoopy!  But farts are the finest smell in the dog kingdom, and wagging spreads the love, spreads the joy, and spreads the gas.   The next time your dog wags, he's diminishing his scent for you, and scattering his odor to the ends of the earth to stay in touch (in smell, you could say) with his or her dog-buddies, whose sense of smell far surpASSes ours.   Dogs without tails have the finest farts, and its concentrated essence is sublime.   Remember, to a dog, farts are like perfume!   Poop is like a fine piece of art.    And pee is the nectar of the gods, splattered down from on high!  Woof!

I had a vision in prison, while dizzy and diseased, that Christ is risen!, said Liz from the mizzenmast (but Liz in prison is risible).   A pacing person with passion was pissin' poison in prison.

Does the Bible apply to everyone?   No,  child.   It's whatever you believe.  Nothing applies to anyone!   The world is chock-full of spells, and some people believe some things, and others others.    Why do people believe what they believe?   It's whatever sticks!   There are libraries full of ideas, and some are stickier than others.    It's a big, messy, sticky world!!   You can write your own bible :-).  the Bible says only God is good, God is love, and love believes all things.   That's one crazy spell, no?!

Why do we eat pigs but have dogs as pets?  Well, son, pigs, while intelligent and clean, are basically too delicious not to eat.   If humans tasted like pigs, the whole world would be cannibals, and everyone would be busy eating each other.  Dogs, on the other hand, are ideal pets, who guard and defend, play and give us exercise, snuggle and keep us warm, perform tricks and entertain, and are, as they say, man's best friends.  And they taste like shit.  

Why is the moon sometimes big and sometimes little, waxing and waning?  Sometimes the Moon is a circle and sometimes a crescent because, as everyone knows, the Moon is made of cheese, and God loves cheese, so he takes bites out of the moon every month.   This ball of cheese is like a beach ball, and God inflates it back up every time he gets hungry.   The Moon is like a cheese soufflé that puffs up and gets eaten, every so often.   Why are there so few astronauts going to the moon?  The cheese industry has a lock on aerospace, and keeps a tight lid on the secret of the vast planet of delicious cheese lurking in our sky.   If the secret got out, the whole world would be feasting on cheap delicious godly cheese, and your supermarket cheese section would become completely unprofitable.   If you love cheese, become an astronaut!   But tell no one, or the cheese goons will come get you!

God's will is inscrutable.   Do you really believe the universe is orchestrated by a loving God?   That everything makes sense?   Or is life unfair, random, unkind, and even meaningless?   Or....does God want life to be meaningless?!?  Different lives are radically divergent, and everyone plays the hands they are dealt.   Life is beautiful.   Life is a shit-show.   Life is a beautiful shit-show.   Amen.

Why are there colors?  Actually, there are no colors.  Everything is purple.   Human eyes are weird, and our big brains turn every shade of purple into what we call the rainbow (or the box of crayola crayons).    Black is purple.  White is non-purple.   What is purple?   Purple! 

Personal Rhymes, done Right

 If you want something done right, do it yourself  - Napoleon Bonaparte.  Well, I guess I'm doing Everything, then...   dominate everybody and submit to no one?  well, no, not exactly.   Put it all out there, and let the universe take care of the rest.   I'm a Teshara that shares.  Not a guy with guile, like Kyle, smile.  State my case, explain my values, and let Reality rearrange, with whatever sticks! 

In heaven, the bread is leavened (unless you like un-), and at Kelli's deli they have free jelly-bellies!   Kelli's cellie Nelly, however, was helly with zealous smelly yelling!  (In the cell-hell of prison, zealous Nelly exclaimed, "Christ is Risen!", but this was intolerable hollering, recalled Kelli, who preferred silent solitude with a telly, to a yelly and smelly cellie named Nelly).

(Unlike Bess, Hess, and Tess) Dressy Jesse, who can be messy, (JessT if you jest), passes tests and all the rest, because "JessT has zest in his quest (to be/for) the best!"  Jess confesses stress from obsessing about -guess- this infestation (yes) of incest, and other things, like, I guess, being a lessee, or Plessy vs. Ferguson, or fleshy and vests (and vestments and investments).   The essence of Jesse is press lessons about  blessings taken from this western cesspool of a mess that we all must address, yes?

The Teshara-era and Harrah's (car collection) and (Ethiopian) injera and a pair a' rare Teshara's and verities about where-uh (a lair?) they care and scare and dare and faire and do their hair and Nair and use aloe vera.  Tesharas share about Yogi Berra and Cher and Kara and Farrah and Larry and Mare and Sara(h) and Tara.  : "The pair of Teshara's ate injera, and then used nair on their hair where they wanted to be bare, because they care and want to scare the demonic bears, and enjoy the state faire, if they dare, or truth! (veritably)."

Brainstorming, mind mapping, and prewriting!  Boo-ya!
