is all witchcraft done by witches?  is all evil demonic, and done by demons?  is all virtue of God?  Is absolutely everything neutral?   It is what it is?  

not listening doesn't care not responding.        (you are boring / trivial, I am doing something important/ interesting.    Or you're annoying, and I'm ignoring.   Maybe I'm even punishing you.)

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).

warm worms, punky pink/ punky monks, flower power, slobbery strawberry, bike for bucks, surgeon performing surgery on sturgeon, runt stunt, beaver with fever, I told the golden oldie about boldly removing the mold, but he coldly just said something about being sold folded gold. 

I can't grasp the complexity of a single mind, much less the mass psychology of millions!  (but you can treat the microcosm as a macrocosm, an individual as the entire global society).    Endearment, affection, love, compatibility, attraction, pleasure, enjoyment, respect, gratitude, appreciation, trust, awe, satisfaction, fun, play...   Positivity, kindness, compassion, mutuality, synergy, sharing, shared interests, smiles, laughter, birds of a feather.    Sex, massage, intimacy, touch, ecstasy, bliss, rapture.   Goodness, sacredness, holiness, virtue.    Commitment, hard work, effort, discipline, focus, clarity, curiosity, engagement.

cops need submission, deference, and respect (vs. hostility, confrontation, and disobedient, noncompliant, uncooperative recalcitrance)....  but you can say, excuse my French, fuck that, and be froward, recusant, insubordinate, pertinacious, contumacious, and refractory!  you subversive renegade!   fight the power!  (but cops are people too, and they have bad days, and you don't know what they've just been through).

a chip on your shoulder vs. CHIPS (California highway patrol), a chip off the old block, the paint chip, chips and salsa, fish and chips, chip shot / cheap shot, and chipper chipmunks.

insane from brain pain, and not having a choice whether to hear a voice, and mad from mom and dad, and the anger from hunger, the rage from a cage, the hate from fate.

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.

(physical therapist, walk dogs together, yoga and stretches and exercises, look good (model?)). (I can organize rooms and papers and do budgets like crazy).   I like to just toss a frisbee around.  

 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 :-)

Little Stories

 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!

D.  Vampire Hunter D.  Deception, death, darkness, decay, depravity, the depths of despair, depression, disillusionment, dread, demons, devils, disease, disaster, destruction, dirty deeds, damnation, desperation, distance, and debility.    A decision to be a dumb dim dork, duh.   A desire for delight, and digital destiny.  A donkey named Don Quixote?   Ding-dong.   It's Dave.   Get over the devil, G.O.D.      OH my God.   Only Human.   Dads just die and disappear.  

Ontological Nihilism is the position that nothing actually exists, at all.   I think, therefore I am.  I don't think.... "poof!"  (God disappears).    Presto, reappearance:   a flapper that claps and snaps! (for a dapper lapper, before they both take a nap, says the rapper zapper.   Yup).

What is a real Christian?

Good question!   

A follower of Christ?  Or.. baptized?   Or just a good person? Maybe someone named Christian?  Anyone who identifies as such, no matter who?   Someone in a personal relationship with Jesus who publicly accepts Jesus Christ as their lord and savior? 

1.Some Christians are into prosperity, while others think it is harder to enter the kingdom of heaven if you are rich than to pass through the eye of a needle (or something - is there a camel involved?).

2. Jesus is Heyzeus.  Christ is short for Christopher.  Christopher Jesse.   ChrisJess.   Zeus Topher.  Words.   A word game.  Whatever.   Anything to anybody.  Christine and Ian.

3. They will know we are Christians by our love.   Anyone who loves, in love.   Devotion and delight.  God is love.  Love is agape, philia, eros.  Affection, intimacy, sex, respect…. Yada yada.  Xoxo.

4. There’s a vampire named Christian.  Maybe he feeds on Antichrists.  Who the fuck knows.   (I’m talking about a guy in the vampire subculture, in a book about it I read).   Presumably he drinks real blood.    Of course, Christians drink the blood of Christ (wine or grape juice).   There’s discussion about what’s a real vampire, too.  

Prayer

I used to think prayer aloud was a way of getting into people's heads, or dominance, or performance.   Now I think of it as a way to be more serious and solemn than conversation, and relate your values and morals and desires to those around you.   Thought, meditation, conversation, prayer, writing - it's all kind of the same thing (to me).  It's mind-maintenance, a method of purity, the light of the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...   Putting it out into the universe.  Talking to yourself, God to God.   Communication with the divine.   It can make you feel good, and empowered, and heard, and not alone, and hopeful.   Demons pray for prey.   Predators pray for prey.  It's a rare prayer, but bloody good?  'Sed' is thirst, in spanish (acronym for Sin, Evil, Depravity).  No one has to pray, in my book.   God, if He exists, knows it all (already).  And privacy as a constitutional right is an absolute farce.   There are telepaths in your head that can hear your every thought, and God is the Big Kahuna of telepaths, who hears everything.  Maybe God in heaven is a computer in the system, these days, but call it whatever you want - you are heard, not alone, and nothing is private or secret, because God is omniscient, and every hair on your head is counted, every thought noted, and every action a part of greater awareness, Higher Mind, like Santa knowing who's naughty or nice.  I call myself God, but I am not hyper-aware like that, if indeed anyone really is, in fact.   What is real and what is hypnosis?

Who is Jesus?

He's dead.   He may have survived the crucifixion, but he ain't alive now.   They found his coffin (maybe).  He lives on, in his words and ideas and people ("body of Christ").  Jesus doesn't love you.  He loved you.  Christians love you, maybe.  Hopefully.   I mean, they say They will know we are Christians by our love.  Sometimes people say one thing, and mean another.  No one knows who Jesus was, really.  He lived 2000 years ago.  People say a lot of contradictory stuff.  A magician, of course.   You can't walk on water (unless it's ice).  He shriveled a fig tree?  Whatever.  I have a bridge to sell you.  Don't let the right hand know what the left is doing?  Weird.   I am not an octopus.  I am a walrus, lol.  Turn the other cheek?  Well, if they're shooting at you, shoot back, don't sacrifice yourself!  3:16?  so that you can have eternal life?  Well, quality matters as much as quantity!! An eternity of hell isn't much of a reward for believing in Jesus.    People can be good without being Christians.  If there IS a heaven, you don't have to believe in it to go there.  Jesus loves me, this I know?   No.  Dust loves me?   Well, okay, why not.   I don't have much of a fulfilling relationship with dust, I have to say.  Cigarettes to ashes, and Dustin to dust.  I like Dustin.   Not sure about Justin.   I could just say I like everyone, in some theoretical, philosophical sense.   But honestly, practically, I probably don't.  Sometimes I think I hate everyone.  But it's not that bad.  People are people.  There is goodness in everyone.   But it's hard to be kind, sometimes.

The 2 thing

Apathy and disenchantment vs. love and passion.    Incurious vs. engaged.    Alive! vs. zombie.  It takes 2 to tango.   One is the loneliest number.  2 kids, for replacement.  Cum again?
