I am not going too screech for impeachment on Sept.1 like many sites will be doing. Not that I wouldn’t approve of it, just that I don’t see it happening, so I’m going to carry on with my usual carrying on. But I love you all for trying, and I thank you for trying.
Impeachment wouldn’t get rid of the idiot anyway, I respectfully suggest that you drill the son of a bitch into the ground with an airplane, yup, I think that might do it. :-) BBC

Evening post
Something of interest I found on the web.
Native Americans considered all living beings as brothers and sisters that had much to teach including squirrels. These small creatures taught them to work in harmony with the cycles of nature by conserving for the winter months during times when food was plentiful. In our modern world, squirrels remind us to set aside a portion of our most precious resources as an investment in the future. Though food and money certainly fall into this category, they are only some of the ways our energy is manifested. We can conserve this most valuable asset by being aware of the choices we make and choosing only those that nurture and sustain us. This extends to the natural resources of our planet as well, using what we need wisely with the future in mind.
Saving and conservation are not acts of fear but rather affirmations of abundance yet to come. Squirrels accept life's cycles, allowing them to face winters with the faith that spring will come again. Knowing that change is part of life, we can create a safe space, both spiritually and physically, that will support us in the present and sustain us in the future. This means not filling our space with things, or thoughts, that don't serve us. Without hoarding more than we need, we keep ourselves in the cyclical flow of life when we donate our unwanted items to someone who can use them best. This allows for more abundance to enter our lives, because even squirrels know a life of abundance involves more than just survival.
Squirrels use their quick, nervous energy to enjoy life's adventure. They are great communicators, and by helping each other watch for danger, they do not allow worry to drain them. Instead, they allow their curious nature to lead the way, staying alert to opportunities and learning as they play. Following the example set by our squirrel friends, we are reminded to enjoy the journey of life's cycles as we plan and prepare for a wonderful future, taking time to learn and play along the way.

Mrs. Gods Country
http://www.nps.gov/olym/
I live next to a large national park. I can see some of the mountains from my place, there are wonderful hot springs in the area and the sound to explore on. The weather here is mild year around and it’s green all the time. Rain, yes, but not so much where I live, just enough to keep things pretty. Seldom is there snow in town, but there can be a lot on the mountains. Yup, I live in Mrs. Gods country.

God is great
Hi there !! Good morning !! So hell in the hell are you today?
These kittens are a hoot. They think that I’m God. I’m big, I’m loving and take care of them, I’m full of magic, I must be God. Their food dish is empty and I fill it, the water dish is low so I fill it as they watch me, it is so magical to them.
They watch me and say "Oh God you are so great, but we’re going to fuck with you anyway." Cats put everything in perspective.
And kittens, they are trying to figure everything out. To a kitten I’m about fifteen stories high, but they’ve gotten used to it. If I lay on the floor at their level it kind of freaks them out. But I’m sure they will get over it and have me for lunch one day.

Oh, I’m sure you have Hon, you just don’t recall it is all. We learned lots of things as children that we have mostly forgotten. Go back in time to before the ‘enlightened’ people gave you their stupid gods and you see Goddess, or Mrs. God all over the place.
So I don’t see myself as living in God’s country, but Mrs. Gods country. Part of her is Mother Nature, she created all this, not God. God just lives here is all, but it isn’t mine, she can take me out in a heartbeat. Call it Pagan if you like, but that works for me. New Age is just Old Age better understood. And the ‘enlightened’ people can go to hell as they are tearing this world apart.
Hey, you’re more a part of Goddess than I am, why don’t you look deep within yourself and tell me about it. I miss Cleopatra, now there was a Goddess. A modern age one would not be the same as her, but in her time she was a pretty decent Goddess that took good care of her people.
Cyndy Lu…… Oh Cyndy Lu….. We sure would like to see you …. With a blog. :-)
Or….. Being as I Googled your handle, are you Female, 31 years old, in East Orange, NEW JERSEY, United States?
Coming soon to a blog near you, The Village Idiot, like the one in your village. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures of God, the idiot that knows an even bigger idiot.
Remember everyone, dance like tomorrow will never come, and love like it will never hurt.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
This guy's wife had recently died and she was being buried. The man was sobbing and was being consoled by his friends. "Don't worry, Pal, in time you will meet a beautiful lady who will make you happy." "I know, I know," he replied, "But what am I gonna do tonight?"

What the heck
I can do two, or ten posts, if I want to.
Soft food
The last time I stopped by to visit with Jan for a bit the sweetie-pie gave me some real funky looking potatoes. They are all twisted and knotted and such, I mashed some up yesterday, and made some soft scrambled eggs. Not bad for just a few days after having my teeth pulled, and much better than canned soup and pudding. But I still haven't gotten any requests for gumming nipples. LOL. Not that I want to gum just any nipples you know.
The dentist said that the stitches me put in my mouth would self dissolve in about ten days. Yeah, or I would pull the irritating bastards out in four.
As I was a motivating over the hill I spotted Maybeline in a coupe de ville. Cadillac rolling on the open road but nothing el’ out run my V-8 Ford. ........
O’ hum. I’m just keeping you idiots busy so that you’re not out screwing something else up. LOL

Just jokes today
Jesus & the Redneck
An Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?"The waitress nodded "yes," so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him.
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the Waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?"The waitress nodded, so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there, sweet thang How's about getting me acold glass of Coke! !" He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that God's boy over there?"The waitress once more nodded, so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke, "On my bill."
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Irishman, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Irishman felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus also passed by the Englishman, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Englishman felt his back straightening up, and he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door.Then Jesus walked towards the Redneck. The Redneck jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me...I'm drawin' disability."
After several months of ill-health, an old man finally musters up the courage to see his doctor for a complete check-up. He gets to the doctor's office, after which, the doctor runs a number of standard tests. After a couple of hours, the doctor comes back, and just barely able to look the old man in the eye, he says: "I'm afraid I have some very bad news...you're dying, and you don't have much time left."
"That's terrible!" says the man. "'How bad is it, Doc? How long have I got?" "Ten," the doctor replies, shaking his head. "Ten?" the man asks. "Ten what? Months? Weeks? What do you mean?" The doctor looks at him sadly. Then he looks at his watch. "Nine."

Mr. & Mrs. God loves chickens
http://minou-in-france.blogspot.com/
She gets it, understands that she is Goddess in evolution. Doesn’t understand the nuts and bolts of it all, but at least she gets it. Being Goddess and God, that must be hard for a woman to figure out and work through. All men have to ponder on is the God part. Good thing, men shouldn’t try to ponder on more than one thing at a time, what with them being short a few brain cells. I have to get in touch with my feminine side to understand it all better.
In her recent post she talks about her chickens. God loves chicken’s, so does Mrs. God. They know their place here and they don’t go off screwing other things up. Well, they may not know that many of them might become buffalo wings at an NFL game, or tasty treats at a picnic, but maybe that is for the best. If they knew, they would stay far away from humans.
Chickens do exactly what they are here to do, hardwired to do. Survive, procreate, be a part of the food chain. Well, maybe they don’t like that part so much, but I don’t think they spend a lot of time thinking about it.
But they really dig the procreate and sex part, chickens get it. I’m talking about farm chickens here, not those poor caged birds. That old rooster, he struts around the chicken yard looking for a hen to jump on, and when he spies her he just jumps right on. They must really dig all that, the whole yard cheers it all on.
That old rooster, he just struts around crowing "I poked her, I poked her." And she’s a cackling "I got poked, I got poked." And much of the rest of the flock join in with things like "Oh joy !! He got a poke, she got poked, what fun, this sex thing is fun." They don’t have hang-ups and worry about morals in a chicken coop do they?
And all the younger chickens are bouncing around saying "This is fun, this is fun, when is our turn?" Yeah, chickens get it.
When humans started naming things maybe they should have called chickens pussy’s, and cats assholes, they even sound like assholes when sexing, or something like that. Yup, Mr. and Mrs. God really like those itsy bitsy parts of themselves. Chickens get it. :-)

Dear Gods
I’m making an evening post because, well, because I can. :-)
Dear:
Christian God (s)
Allah (or who ever in the hell you are)
Buddha (you freak)
And the rest of you nut cases.
We do not wish to show you any disrespect but we have an isty bitsy request for you. Your nonsense is still spreading insanities through the lands and we would like it to stop. So here is our simple request that we hope you will honor. Please remove your goddamn selves the hell off our planet.
We don’t care how you do it, slit your throats, jump off of high buildings, shoot each other (but leave the rest of us alone), blow yourselves up if you wish. But just do it. Or we will start laughing you off the planet, and mocking you at every turn.
YOU ARE DISTURBING THE FUCKIN’ CHICKENS !!!
Thank you.
Love and Peace.

Caution/Beware
Caution….. Beware….. Avoid the humans at all costs….. Be afraid….. Very afraid.
Huge post
I know that not all of you may struggle to the end of this long post, but a few of you might. The fun stuff is mixed in with the serious stuff.
Two deep comics to mull over today.
http://news.yahoo.com/comics/9chickweedlane
http://news.yahoo.com/comics/candorville
Did you know that many non-living things have a gender? For example:
1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it and, of course, there's the hot air component.
5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.
7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight can shift to the bottom.
9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
10) Remote Control -- Female. Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
Jews
In yesterday’s post I linked to a site where Anonymous said... "Bassem, after reading some of these nutcase Jews responding to your blog, I know more than ever that the Jews are the scum of history.
Ramses II, the Romans, the Arabs of the Conquest, Western Christians from the spread of Christianity to Europe through the Renaissance, Martin Luther, (read his On the Jews and their Lies), Hitler, the Palestinians--all knew what what evil these people bear in their birth.
The Jews are a human virus. Wherever they go, whatever they do--they are despised, and rightly so. They covet. Their recent acquisition of the United States will, hopefully, be its downfall.
I ask the Jew: why are you so hated? It is because you are so good? So misunderstood? So loved by humanity in different times and different peoples? You are hated because you covet. That you killed Jesus is perhaps your only redeeming grace.
Jew, do you think you are liked in America? Does the glutton Jerry Falwell love you because you are god's people? And Hagee, another glutton, the same. Pat Robertson, the senile soldier of Israel, loves you as much as these other dimwit flatearther evangelicals.
They will delight when your flesh burns off your bones. That they have changed their tune about the Jew in the past few decades means they can adapt.
But, Jew, Palestine will indeed be returned to the Palestinians, and Hizbullah, did not, as the Jew of the Holocaust, open the doors of the trains to enter. Hizbullah fought, fought valiantly, and won just as excellently.
History has not come to an end, but you, Jew, you will be the victims of history, lo it takes centuries to end you and your coveting ways."
Interesting, I haven’t studied the Jewish religion all that much, and I’m not going to start now as I see no point in studying religions that clearly have insanity’s in them. But I think that the man that posted that comment is a might confused. There are many that are greedy and covet, not just Jews. I doubt that there are anymore Jews in America (per population) practicing capitalism and greed than there are Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, and Agnostics. Greed and coveting knows no boundaries, it’s a human condition. I think Capitalists is a more appropriate term than Jew.
A young American tourist goes on a guided tour of a creepy old castle. At the end of the tour the guide asks her how she enjoyed it. She admits to being a bit worried about seeing a ghost in some of the dark cobwebby rooms and passages.
"Don't worry" says the guide, "I've never seen a ghost all the time I've been here."
"How long is that?" asks the girl.
"About three hundred years."
Itsy Bitsy God
Itsy bitsy god, pretty much describes what each of you are. It’s also a blog handle, she is an athiest, her itsy bitsy god is her little dog. Cute blog.
http://itsybitsygod.blogspot.com/
I left the following comment there.
BBC said...
Yeah, I'm here. But I'm just as itsybitsy as you are. Sad, but that is how things are on this planet. You don't have to believe in me, but I still believe in you. BBC
A buddy of mine was telling me about his recent trip to confession.
"It was surreal," he said. "I went into the confessional and said, 'forgive me father for I have sinned. It's been two weeks since my last confession and in that time I've been impatient with my wife and children.'
The priest issued a penance of 5 Our Fathers and absolved me. I was so shocked," he said, "that I blurted, 'Wow, Father, that's a nice, light penance.' The priest said, "Well, it's not like you were butt-fucking."
Vices/Virtues
The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.
What luck for rulers that men do not think.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
How to spook a woman
It’s easy to spook a woman, just tell you love her. Not long after you meet her, it really freaks them out. Believe me, I’ve experienced this a lot. Too many women have a sort of sickness in them. They don’t want to talk about love until they have been to bed with you, and then they get this sick attachment to you that they think must be love.
The people who vote decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. - Josef Stalin. (It seems that some folks in America think this is still true, it might be)

I haven’t tried this with glycerine yet, found it on the web at, http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/playing/bubblerecipe.html
Try this recipe for soap bubbles 1/2 cup Joy or Dawn liquid detergent; 5 cups water and 2 tablespoons glycerine (from the pharmacy; it makes the bubbles stronger).
I do know this, I have some Joy here so I mixed up some and it makes wonderful bubbles. And this, warm bubble soap works better than cold bubble soap. The kittens are a bit confused by them so it’s fun to tease them with them. I’ve mentioned this before but the record for keeping a soap bubble alive is 341 days.
You know, I often get more and better wisdom, love, insights, and such, out of the comics than I do out of the news.
Positive
There is one positive thing about me, and you, being on the Internet so much. We aren’t harming the planet in other ways.
Most say U.S. isn't ready for disaster
WASHINGTON - Their confidence shaken by Katrina, most Americans don't believe the nation is ready for another major disaster, a new AP-Ipsos poll finds.
So? Why depend on others to be ready. Have you done everything you can do to get through a major disaster the best you can? I’m sure I could be better prepared, but I’m better prepared than many folks. I keep a few hundred gallons of water handy, plenty of food, camping gear, propane, firewood. A solar panel and some twelve vote lights, things like that. And I live in an area that isn’t prone to natural disasters, people that live on the coasts where mother nature needs the areas to make this planet work right are just asking for her too kick their butts. New Orleans should just be moved, they where told not to build there back when they started building that city. Why should taxpayers pay for their stupidity? Help can only get to people so fast, prepare yourself and you won’t have many worries.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.
Interesting study, so why do I know so many stupid tall people? There must be many exceptions as I know some pretty smart short people. I’m 5’ 9", I don’t consider that tall, or short, but I think I’m smart enough in some ways. Studies like this are a waste of time.
Bob Vale
I went to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday. They did a tribute to Bob Vale, he died last year. I know that you didn’t know Bob Vale, but I’m sure that you know someone like him. Bob was one of those folks that just loved people more, and did more for the common good than others do. I filled one of the vacant spaces Bob left (and he left many), but I don’t think for a moment that I ever made a pimple on Bob’s butt. He was involved in quite a few of the church programs here, and had articles in the religious section in the local rag at times. But he wasn’t religious, as in supporting a Christian or Muslim belief. He was just spiritual is all.
There isn’t a day goes by but what I don’t think about all the killing on this planet. Not a week goes by but what I don’t think about a lady that ate her baby so that she could keep living. That is what bothers me about the Unitarian Universalists, they don’t work on these things hard enough. And don’t get me started on their seven principles. What seems important to most of them (to me) is that they have really nice homes, cars, places of congregation, money for frivolous trips, fancy meals, and things like that. Then maybe if they have a little extra money they might send it to help others. They act like ecologists but they really are pretty hard on the planet. They don’t believe in much of anything, preferring to always be seeking instead, they have been doing that for thousands of years.
The president of the local chapter of The Insane Chicks Society that I keep mentioning was at both the Peace Rally on Saturday, and at the UU Fellowship I attended on Sunday. I was busy making soap bubbles at the rally, but she did come over and talk to me a little. About nothing heavy or personal, just bullshit is all. She can’t talk to me on a complex personal level, I’m way over her head. She doesn’t get warmth and affection, and god forbid that we would talk about sex. A sixty-four old woman that can’t talk about sex? This girl has problems. And she isn’t spiritual, just keeps saying things like "I don’t know."
At the Fellowship she didn’t speak to me as we didn’t sit together, she did look my way a few times and smiled real big. I didn’t stick around after the service for coffee or she might have spoke to me then, or not. She told me one day that she doesn’t get into anything that she can’t have control over, as in make to be the way she wants it to be. Okay sweetie-pie, take your best shot. Life is about lessons, pay attention now, I’m not your average lesson.
It doesn’t matter though, she is going back to California for six months soon, to work as a probation officer, telling other men what to do I suppose. And will be joining a local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society there.
Love it or leave it?
We all hear this at times, if you don’t love America, leave it. Why in the hell should I? I was born here. Our ancestors left the country’s they didn’t love and came here and messed this country up. There is the whole problem in a nutshell, they should have stayed where they where and fixed those country’s. I’m not frigging leaving just because some right wing Christian or patriotic idiot thinks I should. I’ll stay here and do what I can to fix things. So there you crackpots, I’m not the problem, you are, fuck you.
Politics
Being a liberal is no better than being a right wing conservative, they are just two extremes. Too be moderate is best, and that is what I strive to be. But as long as there are right wing conservatives there has to be liberals to create a balance of moderation.
Lot’s of folks try to fix things through politics, quite a few of the blogs I visit are political in nature. But I contend that we cannot fix things through politics until we get a lot more spiritual. We keep voting in Christians for one thing, how is this supposed to fix things when they have an insanity in them?
http://no-thinking.blogspot.com/
Made the statement "Damn, why do I pay attention to such political nonsense."
Well, because you think that you can help fix things through politics? Good luck with that considering the choices you get to vote for. If you want to fix this country, this world, go to a Salvation Army soup kitchen line and pull out some of the Mensa members there that society has knocked down. Put them in office, they will do a much better job.
Over at Swiftspeech ‘Wednesday’ posted that Bush likes to tell fart jokes.
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/
So G. W. Bush likes to tell fart jokes, I could care less what jokes he likes, or who he screws. I don’t have any problem with that at all. My problem with him is that as one of the world’s leaders he is a fucking idiot.
I’m not sure
I’m not sure that we should strive to be all that intelligent or educated. I get around a lot, and I meet a lot of different people. It just seems to me that not so bright people are often more happy than the rest of us. So maybe we should just relax and enjoy each other?
If we're growing we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.
With the rest of my upper teeth being removed the other day, I’m limited as to what I can eat for a while. Sunday morning I sucked down a can of tomato soup. Then on the way home in the afternoon after going to the UU Fellowship and doing some painting at George’s I stopped at a C-store and got a bottle of chocolate milk and a pint of chocolate ice-cream. So guess what my poop looks like. LOL
Hard Days
We all have days that seem endlessly difficult and hard. On these days, it is as if the odds are stacked against us and we just can't get a break as one challenging situation follows another. We may feel like we're standing in the ocean getting hit by wave after wave, never able to get a full breath. Sometimes it's necessary or worth it to stay in the fray and work our way through. Other times, the best idea is to go home and take the breath we need in order to carry on.
If the only choice is to get through it, a hard day can be a great teacher. It will eventually end and we can look back on it, taking pride in the stamina, courage, and ingenuity it took to hold our ground. We may also look back and see how we could have done things differently. This knowledge will be valuable when we face hard days in the future. Trust your gut as you're deciding whether to work through it, and know that sometimes a timely retreat is the best way to ensure a positive outcome. Getting space can remind us that external circumstances are not the whole picture. Once we catch our breath and re-center ourselves, we will be able to determine our next move. With a little perspective, we may even find the inner resources to change our attitude about what's happening. We may begin to see that what we saw as hardships are actually opportunities. As our attitude changes for the better, our actions and the circumstances will follow suit.
Sometimes all that's needed is a good night's sleep. No one is immune to having a hard day and these are usually the times we can learn the most. If we can find it in our hearts to examine the day, and maybe make one small change in perception, we can ease our pain and greet the next day that much wiser.
Some people are like Slinkies...
Not really good for anything......
But they still bring a smile to your face
When you push them down a flight of stairs.
Yup, some people are just on this planet to entertain the rest of us. :-)
Oh man, I have way too much stuff around here, I can’t find the things I want because they are buried under other things. I think I will just get rid of a lot of this stuff. I’ll put a table on the other side of my fence and fill it up, with a free sign on the fence.
If any of you see my mind wandering around out there, would you please tell it to get its ass home before it gets dark?
SPEAK OUT BECAUSE SILENCE = COMPLICITY!
And damn it !!! Stop missing the fact that I say that WE are God in evolution. Well, maybe not the rest of those idiots.
So, did you make it to the end of this? BBC
Huge post
I know that not all of you may struggle to the end of this long post, but a few of you might. The fun stuff is mixed in with the serious stuff.
Two deep comics to mull over today.
http://news.yahoo.com/comics/9chickweedlane
http://news.yahoo.com/comics/candorville
Did you know that many non-living things have a gender? For example:
1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.
2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.
4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it and, of course, there's the hot air component.
5) Sponges -- Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.
6) Web Page -- Female, because it's always getting hit on.
7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight can shift to the bottom.
9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.
10) Remote Control -- Female. Ha! You thought it'd be male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
Jews
In yesterday’s post I linked to a site where Anonymous said... "Bassem, after reading some of these nutcase Jews responding to your blog, I know more than ever that the Jews are the scum of history.
Ramses II, the Romans, the Arabs of the Conquest, Western Christians from the spread of Christianity to Europe through the Renaissance, Martin Luther, (read his On the Jews and their Lies), Hitler, the Palestinians--all knew what what evil these people bear in their birth.
The Jews are a human virus. Wherever they go, whatever they do--they are despised, and rightly so. They covet. Their recent acquisition of the United States will, hopefully, be its downfall.
I ask the Jew: why are you so hated? It is because you are so good? So misunderstood? So loved by humanity in different times and different peoples? You are hated because you covet. That you killed Jesus is perhaps your only redeeming grace.
Jew, do you think you are liked in America? Does the glutton Jerry Falwell love you because you are god's people? And Hagee, another glutton, the same. Pat Robertson, the senile soldier of Israel, loves you as much as these other dimwit flatearther evangelicals.
They will delight when your flesh burns off your bones. That they have changed their tune about the Jew in the past few decades means they can adapt.
But, Jew, Palestine will indeed be returned to the Palestinians, and Hizbullah, did not, as the Jew of the Holocaust, open the doors of the trains to enter. Hizbullah fought, fought valiantly, and won just as excellently.
History has not come to an end, but you, Jew, you will be the victims of history, lo it takes centuries to end you and your coveting ways."
Interesting, I haven’t studied the Jewish religion all that much, and I’m not going to start now as I see no point in studying religions that clearly have insanity’s in them. But I think that the man that posted that comment is a might confused. There are many that are greedy and covet, not just Jews. I doubt that there are anymore Jews in America (per population) practicing capitalism and greed than there are Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, and Agnostics. Greed and coveting knows no boundaries, it’s a human condition. I think Capitalists is a more appropriate term than Jew.
A young American tourist goes on a guided tour of a creepy old castle. At the end of the tour the guide asks her how she enjoyed it. She admits to being a bit worried about seeing a ghost in some of the dark cobwebby rooms and passages.
"Don't worry" says the guide, "I've never seen a ghost all the time I've been here."
"How long is that?" asks the girl.
"About three hundred years."
Itsy Bitsy God
Itsy bitsy god, pretty much describes what each of you are. It’s also a blog handle, she is an athiest, her itsy bitsy god is her little dog. Cute blog.
http://itsybitsygod.blogspot.com/
I left the following comment there.
BBC said...
Yeah, I'm here. But I'm just as itsybitsy as you are. Sad, but that is how things are on this planet. You don't have to believe in me, but I still believe in you. BBC
A buddy of mine was telling me about his recent trip to confession.
"It was surreal," he said. "I went into the confessional and said, 'forgive me father for I have sinned. It's been two weeks since my last confession and in that time I've been impatient with my wife and children.'
The priest issued a penance of 5 Our Fathers and absolved me. I was so shocked," he said, "that I blurted, 'Wow, Father, that's a nice, light penance.' The priest said, "Well, it's not like you were butt-fucking."
Vices/Virtues
The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.
What luck for rulers that men do not think.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
How to spook a woman
It’s easy to spook a woman, just tell you love her. Not long after you meet her, it really freaks them out. Believe me, I’ve experienced this a lot. Too many women have a sort of sickness in them. They don’t want to talk about love until they have been to bed with you, and then they get this sick attachment to you that they think must be love.
The people who vote decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. - Josef Stalin. (It seems that some folks in America think this is still true, it might be)
Rabble, n. In a republic, those who exercise a supreme authority tempered by fraudulent elections. -Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
I haven’t tried this with glycerine yet, found it on the web at, http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/playing/bubblerecipe.html
Try this recipe for soap bubbles 1/2 cup Joy or Dawn liquid detergent; 5 cups water and 2 tablespoons glycerine (from the pharmacy; it makes the bubbles stronger).
I do know this, I have some Joy here so I mixed up some and it makes wonderful bubbles. And this, warm bubble soap works better than cold bubble soap. The kittens are a bit confused by them so it’s fun to tease them with them. I’ve mentioned this before but the record for keeping a soap bubble alive is 341 days.
You know, I often get more and better wisdom, love, insights, and such, out of the comics than I do out of the news.
Positive
There is one positive thing about me, and you, being on the Internet so much. We aren’t harming the planet in other ways.
Most say U.S. isn't ready for disaster
WASHINGTON - Their confidence shaken by Katrina, most Americans don't believe the nation is ready for another major disaster, a new AP-Ipsos poll finds.
So? Why depend on others to be ready. Have you done everything you can do to get through a major disaster the best you can? I’m sure I could be better prepared, but I’m better prepared than many folks. I keep a few hundred gallons of water handy, plenty of food, camping gear, propane, firewood. A solar panel and some twelve vote lights, things like that. And I live in an area that isn’t prone to natural disasters, people that live on the coasts where mother nature needs the areas to make this planet work right are just asking for her too kick their butts. New Orleans should just be moved, they where told not to build there back when they started building that city. Why should taxpayers pay for their stupidity? Help can only get to people so fast, prepare yourself and you won’t have many worries.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.
Interesting study, so why do I know so many stupid tall people? There must be many exceptions as I know some pretty smart short people. I’m 5’ 9", I don’t consider that tall, or short, but I think I’m smart enough in some ways. Studies like this are a waste of time.
Bob Vale
I went to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday. They did a tribute to Bob Vale, he died last year. I know that you didn’t know Bob Vale, but I’m sure that you know someone like him. Bob was one of those folks that just loved people more, and did more for the common good than others do. I filled one of the vacant spaces Bob left (and he left many), but I don’t think for a moment that I ever made a pimple on Bob’s butt. He was involved in quite a few of the church programs here, and had articles in the religious section in the local rag at times. But he wasn’t religious, as in supporting a Christian or Muslim belief. He was just spiritual is all.
There isn’t a day goes by but what I don’t think about all the killing on this planet. Not a week goes by but what I don’t think about a lady that ate her baby so that she could keep living. That is what bothers me about the Unitarian Universalists, they don’t work on these things hard enough. And don’t get me started on their seven principles.

Honored
Consumer alert
The soap bubble bottles sold in the Dollar Store is crap, even the wand is crap, don’t waste your buck.
Slow me
Slow me, I just noticed that there are six contributors to the Swiftspeech blog.
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/
Look for the ‘Struggle’ post by Stella at
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/
What an honor that Stella spoke so much of me there, that girl is deep and getting deeper. I’ll bet she tolerates idiots about as well as I do some days. I love you Stella. Yeah, I know, it freaks out women when you tell them you love them when you barely know them, or don’t really know them at all except for on the Internet. But you will just have to get over it, or not. I want to remind you of something I said earlier in my blog in case you missed it.
I loved you before I met you,
I can always love you more,
But I will never love you less,
Than a one.
If everyone believed as I do, that we are God in evolution. That we are all spiritual beings, spiritual brothers and sisters, I think the world would be a more peaceful place.
Stella said "I do strive to give credit to the original source." Look Hon, a lot of what is flowing around is so old that it would be impossible to figure out who said it first. Some of the words just get changed a bit is all. The Proverbs below have all been around for ages, and many things flowing around today simply mirror what is very old. So I don’t spend much time about the ‘original’ source.
Even what is being said and trying to be done at the political level is thousands of years old. It’s all been said and done before for the most part. It shows me that we haven’t evolved much. Well not all things, I’m not sure they had bubble soap a few thousand years ago. Yesterday at the peace protest/rally I rigged up a blower and made a lot of soap bubbles, many more than I can blow with just my mouth. Everyone likes soap bubbles. Next week I will try to have a real bubble machine worked up.
Bumper sticker: It’s not illegal to be a biker. (No it isn’t, as long as you are not a trouble making asshole)
The good and bad of Global Warming.
We can no longer hide from the fact that mankind is harming the planet and causing global warming. Make it too warm here and this planet won’t be able to support many of the things that allow us to survive here. I would hate to see that day come, humans are interesting and I’m not all that interested in just being a bug again. A lady at the peace rally yesterday said that humans will be gone from this planet in fifty years, she may be right. That really sucks when you have been omnipresent for millions of years.
But it has been a beautiful warm summer here, the best since I moved here. The trade off is that as I look out over the landscape I see a lot more smog, or haze, or whatever it is. In some parts of the world I know that many people are really suffering because of global warming, and it’s only going to get worse unless everyone gets a lot wiser.
Are Americans getting dumber? That was a news story in the Seattle P.I. I just skimmed over it but it was a story about politics and the political choices we make. We? Don’t look at me, I don’t know if American’s are getting any dumber, but they sure are not getting any smarter.
Proverbs
When you have given nothing, ask for nothing.
Good habits result from resisting temptation.
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Do not remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man to fish and he will spend all day in a boat drinking beer, and not be bothering you in the kitchen. (Okay, so this one isn’t so old)
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
Question everything, even me, our thoughts may change tomorrow as we climb to a higher awareness.
The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
The palest ink is better than the best memory. (Record those thoughts)
Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.
Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. (I love all you idiots, :-)
A country can be judged by the quality of its proverbs.
First secure an independent income, then practice virtue.
Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured. (Think G. W. Bush and cronies)
You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
If you believe everything you read, better not read.
He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good.
If God lived on earth, people would break his windows. (Or kill him/her, that happens everyday)
What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth. (When I see you, I see God, in evolution)
Never give a child a sword. (Or a gun, or let him fight someone else’s battles for them)
Hold a true friend with both hands.
Go often to the house of thy friend; for weeds soon choke up the unused path.
Better be ill spoken of by one before all than by all before one.
If you want to be respected, you must respect yourself.
If you wish to know what a man is, place him in authority. (Well you found out what Bush is)
The time not to become a father is eighteen years before a war. (But it seems like there are always wars)
The soap bubble bottles sold in the Dollar Store is crap, even the wand is crap, don’t waste your buck.

Some of the words just get changed a bit is all. The Proverbs below have all been around for ages, and many things flowing around today simply mirror what is very old. So I don’t spend much time about the ‘original’ source.
Even what is being said and trying to be done at the political level is thousands of years old. It’s all been said and done before for the most part. It shows me that we haven’t evolved much. Well not all things, I’m not sure they had bubble soap a few thousand years ago. Yesterday at the peace protest/rally I rigged up a blower and made a lot of soap bubbles, many more than I can blow with just my mouth. Everyone likes soap bubbles. Next week I will try to have a real bubble machine worked up.
Bumper sticker: It’s not illegal to be a biker. (No it isn’t, as long as you are not a trouble making asshole)
The good and bad of Global Warming.
We can no longer hide from the fact that mankind is harming the planet and causing global warming. Make it too warm here and this planet won’t be able to support many of the things that allow us to survive here. I would hate to see that day come, humans are interesting and I’m not all that interested in just being a bug again. A lady at the peace rally yesterday said that humans will be gone from this planet in fifty years, she may be right. That really sucks when you have been omnipresent for millions of years.
But it has been a beautiful warm summer here, the best since I moved here. The trade off is that as I look out over the landscape I see a lot more smog, or haze, or whatever it is. In some parts of the world I know that many people are really suffering because of global warming, and it’s only going to get worse unless everyone gets a lot wiser.
Are Americans getting dumber? That was a news story in the Seattle P.I. I just skimmed over it but it was a story about politics and the political choices we make. We? Don’t look at me, I don’t know if American’s are getting any dumber, but they sure are not getting any smarter.
Proverbs
When you have given nothing, ask for nothing.
Good habits result from resisting temptation.
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
Do not remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man to fish and he will spend all day in a boat drinking beer, and not be bothering you in the kitchen. (Okay, so this one isn’t so old)
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
Question everything, even me, our thoughts may change tomorrow as we climb to a higher awareness.
The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
The palest ink is better than the best memory. (Record those thoughts)
Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.
Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present. (I love all you idiots, :-)
A country can be judged by the quality of its proverbs.
First secure an independent income, then practice virtue.
Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured. (Think G. W. Bush and cronies)
You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
If you believe everything you read, better not read.
He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good.
If God lived on earth, people would break his windows. (Or kill him/her, that happens everyday)
What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth. (When I see you, I see God, in evolution)
Never give a child a sword. (Or a gun, or let him fight someone else’s battles for them)
Hold a true friend with both hands.
Go often to the house of thy friend; for weeds soon choke up the unused path.
Better be ill spoken of by one before all than by all before one.
If you want to be respected, you must respect yourself.
If you wish to know what a man is, place him in authority. (Well you found out what Bush is)
The time not to become a father is eighteen years before a war. (But it seems like there are always wars)

Three posts today !!!
This cartoonist is great, comes up with great comics. Worth looking at most days.

Two posts again
My dental appoint yesterday wasn’t until three PM. So yesterday morning I went over to Laurel Ann’s and replaced some of the rotten railing caps on the handicapped ramp. I also got them and some other items painted.
She (bless her little heart) made me a big tuna fish sandwich to eat on the way to the dentist, it was the last good solid food I will be able to eat for a while. I was given a prescription for pain medicine but I didn’t get it filled, and I feel no pain, I’m full of Peppermint Schnapps, LOL. Bob came in just before I left and thanked me for doing the work, he said something like, "You are the best craftsman around here", I replied with, "Yes I am!!". Well, sometimes it’s just hard to be humble. :-) Though I hardly think that I’m the best craftsman in the area, just good at some of the things I do.
Here is a link to an interesting cartoon, though you would have to have seen some of the previous ones to appreciate it.

Today's fun event
Today’s fun event
Borrow a friends or neighbors pickup. Tell em you have to move something. Now….. Drive it like ya stole it…… Return it all dinged up with an empty fuel tank. As a consolation to the owner leave a half case of warm Old Milwaukee on the seat. Toss your empties in the bed. Yes, life is good.
Toothless
I had seven teeth pulled yesterday, I’m now toothless on top, in about a month I can get a denture. It’s great to have that crap gone, I’m a happy camper. And I can still whistle, I knew this one young man that couldn’t, even with all his teeth. When he saw a pretty girl he would holler whit-woo, whit-woo.
Billy B for Pres-nut
In the next election write in Billy B Cook for Pres-nut. Just kidding, I would not want to be Pres-nut of the United States of America. There is nothing united about it and it has an insanity in it. It’s full of Christians, thieves, cons and crackpots. And that is just the ones in government offices.
I see that I have astounded and overwhelmed everyone so much that they are at a lost for words for posting comments. LOL
I need to explain consciousness and higher consciousness and omnipresence better, but not today. I need to do laundry this morning, go to the peace protest at noon, and work this afternoon.
The all
If you are not part of the ALL, then you are part of the problem, not the solution. If this is so, get the fuck off my planet. Just kidding, you are after all just a product of a lot of loonies that raised you and taught you a lot of stupid things and most of you are in the process of un-brainwashing yourselves. Just as I had to un-brainwash myself.
What are you? You are sexual debris. A product of the sexual energies of the cosmos that creates everything. Or do I need to explain that better also?
"Forbes magazine may not be known for its relationship tips, but the business publication is getting a lot of attention right now for an article about finding a wife. Editor Michael Noer has written an editorial titled "Don't Marry a Career Woman" in which he outlines the pitfalls he says men will face if they defy that advice. He bases his theory on a batch of recent studies that claim career women are more likely to cheat on their husbands and get divorced. And they'll also want fewer children. "If they do have kids, they're more likely to be unhappy about it. ... The more successful she is, the more likely she is to grow dissatisfied with you," he writes."
Interesting news story, and while some women disagree with it, I pretty much agree with the story based on my experiences with career women. They just get attitudes that I don’t want to deal with because there isn’t much give and take with them.
Try these words on for size with someone today…. "I love you," OR "I forgive you (or will you forgive me)."

What a hoot.
Hey, you will love the cartoon posted at Sinfest today, what a hoot.
http://www.sinfest.net/
http://www.sinfest.net/
Beer and Nipples
Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.
I'm getting the rest of my upper teeth pulled today at 3:00. Won’t be able to eat much, I'll just have to drink beer and gum nipples for a few days. Now ladies, stop thinking about that. :-)
Question
Question, why did the Germans sell two German-made Dolphin submarines capable of carrying nuclear warheads to Israel?
A nail
A nail, in a roof, is a frigging leak. A nail anywhere is a frigging leak. Laurel Ann, (and her cranky husband) a sweet lady I’ve known since shortly after moving here that I’ve done a lot of work for over the years has me over there yet again for some painting and other work. I wasn’t available to them at the time so they had someone else replace the deck on the handicapped ramp to the front door.
In the first place it didn’t need to be replaced as the original materials were high quality materials, it just need some repairs in a few places and it would have lasted another ten to twenty years. But that isn’t what happened, the ramp cover (the part you walk on) was removed and plain plywood replaced it. And to make matters worse, they put rolled roofing material on top of it. Rolled roofing is wonderful for traction in bad weather but it’s the dumbest thing to put on wood that has the edges exposed so that water might seep under it.
The ramp is about a foot wider than the roofing, so there are six inches on each side that is exposed wood, still following me? Rainwater sets on the wood, seeps under the roofing, and starts rotting the wood under it. And they attached the roofing to the ramp with nails, frigging nails !! In time the nails work a little loose, water starts working its way in, and you start getting these little rotten spots in the wood everywhere there is a nail. After a while you just have another rotten ramp deck.
If people are going to use rolled roofing on a deck or ramp they should glue it down and use not nails at all. He should have at least put a good seal coat on it before putting the roofing down. My roof on my building is rolled roofing, I didn’t use any nails on it, I glued it down. Screw nails, nails are leaks.
And when the man put the decking down he used drywall screws, he should have used deck screws, they last much longer, even if water seeps in. I could have done some repairs on the original deck and it would have lasted as long as this new material is going to last. Oh well, it’s a done deal, screw it. It will last as long as they are going to I suppose.
This is the place
This is the place !! Yes !! You can find pretty much anything here. Worry, wit, wisdom, insults, sorrow, joy, fun, and pure silliness. Leave any comment you like and share anything you like, vent if you need to, got a good joke to share with the rest of us? Pretty cool place hey? This is a hell of a lot more fun than being a Buddhist. Or a Christian, or a Muslim, or a …… Complete brainwashed idiot like they are.
And it’s my parade, those that don’t like my parade can go get in another one.
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
Many others
So many others that I have been meeting through blogs are doing such a great job at picking at and fussing at how things and our leaders are that I don’t have too. God is like that, God delegates serious work to others to do. :-)
Stuff flows to me
As I’ve said before, stuff flows to me, I mentioned to a friend that I needed a motorcycle helmet. A few days later I stopped at his shop and someone that he had mentioned it to had dropped off a very nice full face helmet for me. It’s bright orange, should make this country bumpkin look like a pumpkin.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
niCk (Mem Beth) Said on his Blog, "Why are so many people preoccupation with existence of G-d?. Look, it's even happening to me, but it's because I read it in so many blogs. It is because evolution has developed the human mind for survival. We have an internal instinct to want to survive, even after death. The survival instinct is strong, so many people obsess about it and create fantasies so they can believe that even after their death, their consciousness will continue."
Well Sir…. What makes you think that your consciousness won't continue? Once you figure out that there is no Christian or Muslim, or any other religious God, yet you still sense that there is something there, you have to figure out what it is. Once you figure out that it is a collective consciousness only, and not a single being, and you accept it, that you are God, or at least a part of God, of the all, in evolution. Then you can just relax and be a part of it all and have some fun with it. God is nothing anyway, Mrs. God can still stomp your ass. Keep it simple stupid.
I don’t know what got into me, I got out the Kirby and vacuumed yesterday.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
Big tits? I went into the VFW in Richland, Wa. One evening with a member of the Insane Chicks Society, she was a washed up model on her way to getting three drunk driving tickets in as many days. My Mother and Grandmother where there, it was a Friday evening and there was music and dancing. My Grandmother was an old lady by then but she still had these really big knockers.
The insane chick spent the whole evening staring at her and saying "She sure has big tits." Envy I suppose. Gotta run, have a good day everyone. BBC
Ever ask God, or whoever, whatever, why this world is so messed up? What answer might you expect to get back? How about "YOU go about YOUR business of doing MY business or it’s going to stay messed up."

Bill's Robe
Okay, I resized the picture to be under 100 kb and then was able to post it here. So if any of you folks are not having any luck posting pictures on your blog resize them to be under 100 kb and then you should be able to post them.
I can’t seem to find the right page on Blogspot where my images are stored. I’m sure I have a few on their server that isn’t required and I would like to delete them. On the other hand, maybe it doesn’t matter.
Clicking on the image makes it bigger of course, if you are new to blogging. I’m pretty new, don’t know all the ins and outs of using Blogspot. But it’s clear that any idiot can at least make a simple blog, I’m living proof of that. :-)

Poor Pussy
We now have a pussy that isn’t ever going to get any pussy. I took the kitten, I’ve named her Honey, to the vet to have her spayed. The poor thing, she thought that I and the lady next door where the only big weird frigging things on this planet and she had gotten used to us, even came to love our attention. And then this weird thing puts her in a cat carrier and takes her to a place that has big weird things all over the frigging place. I hope it didn’t freak her out too much. But most of those big weird things at the vets are cute and smell good, female units you know, I wanted to get in a cage with one of them myself. But, she is probably the vice president of the local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society. Sigh…….
Interesting blog by Glenda, I’m just amazed that she can keep four blogs going, that is more than I even have time to keep track of, so I’m just going to watch this one.
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/
Scott Adam’s got a new suit. Billy got a new, well, nothing. Billy’s ego doesn’t need a new suit so he can fly around the country making speeches and acting important. Scott confuses Billy, he acts like an ecologist and human that cares at times, but then blows it with all his trips and acting important. I think that he is interesting, but I do not think that he is important.
Besides, Billy should not be allowed loose in stores to buy clothes for himself. Billy is a clothes-shopping idiot. Billy shops in thrift stores for everything except undies and socks and shoes. But I seldom shop for clothes, when I moved here it was with the assumption that the cosmos would provide what I need, and that works very well for me so things just keep flowing to me. So many things at times that I have to pass them on or I would have way too much stuff here.
Billy’s favorite ‘suit’ is a ‘robe’ that Ellen gave me, I don’t know what to call it, folks have given me different names for it. I use it when I’m doing weddings, at the peace rallies, and feeling spiritual. Most folks like it, I get a lot of comments on it, I’m looking for more like it. Would like a lighter one for warm days, and a shorter one for when I hike to the hot springs to be at one with the cosmos. I’ll post a picture of it at the end of this post.
Buddhist bullshit
I feel like picking on Buddhists today, I’ll pick on Christian’s and Muslim’s another day. I’m all about fair play, I’ll pick on all idiots and religions, um, all religious idiots that is.
"Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the Buddha...Using the mind to look for reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation."
Bah, frigging Buddhists, empty minds my butt, their heads are full of grapes. We are here to tackle things, fix things, not run from them, and too make the world a better place. Running and hiding from the mind is for frigging cowards. I don’t know many Buddhists, but the ones I do know don’t have any ‘Zen’, they have frigging grapes in their heads, that apparently have fermented and made them as loopy as hell. The only thing more weird than a Buddhist is two Buddhists, they often can’t even stand each other. They are about as much fun to be around as watching grapes ferment. Boooooring. Avoid the Buddhists, they will put you to sleep, or drive you to blow your brains out just to get away from them. Fuck it, sing and dance, make some noise, lots of it. And give someone a hug, Buddhists are terrible at hugs and love, they are so distant, and I like them distant, about two thousand miles away from me is just about right. :-)
"If you come upon Buddha on the road, kill him." I wouldn’t go as far as that, but I’m sure not going to party with the idiot. They think that we are here to suffer, and to that I say……. BULLSHIT !! Really, we’re just here to be happy and piss off the Buddhists. LOL
Zen, I’ll tell you what Zen is, a beer and some good sex with a spiritual Goddess. But I can’t find her, sigh. Now that I’m thinking about that I’ll have to have an out of body experience with the president of the local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society. That’s masturbation for you slow witted readers. :-)
Okay, I’m back, where were we? Wait, cover for me, going in for seconds, I’ll be right back. LOL
People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact
on history. - Dan Quayle (Raise your hand if you are as weird as I am)
Violence as a way of gaining power...is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security. - Alfred Adler
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Here is an interesting link. I’ll gladly steal anything I come across that I think might be profound, meaningful, touching, heartfelt, or help change the world in some little way. Or just give us something to laugh about, it’s all about balance you know. Copyrights are for technical manuals, everything else is fair game to all of us. Just because someone writes something and thinks it is an original thought to them doesn’t mean it is. So I encourage all of you too take anything off the web that you like and think might make the world a better place, and pass it on. Those that want to make money trying to make the world a better place, bah on them. I’ve always said that truth and wisdom should be free to all, and they can’t sue all of us.
http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/plagiarism/
Correction niCk (Mem Beth): They are not voices in your head, they are things that are trying to flow through you. Well, they may be in your head, but that isn’t where they want to stay, they want to move on, flow through you. Following me? So share all your useful love and wisdom and worries with others, it’s what our journey and evolution is about.
So when I took the kitten to the vets the other day, Helen (the cat-loving lady next door) went with me, and then invited me to have breakfast out with her. I seldom eat out other than at fast food joints where I can get a turd for a buck, I prefer to eat at home where food is dirt cheap. So we went to the Cornerhouse Café, my favorite place to go if eating out at a sit down place.
It’s been remodeled after a fire a few years back and is clean and friendly and the prices are reasonable, I’m only willing to pay so much for another turd. A thirty-dollar lobster is still just another turd at the end of the day. I’m a simple man and an easy keeper and I don’t eat much, it doesn’t take a lot to keep a hundred and sixty-five pounds of bullshit going. But I’m still pissed that I have to pay sales tax on beer, doesn’t pouring it over your corn flakes at breakfast make it a food item?
Hell, when I go to the liquor store for Rum to inject in my chicken thighs and breasts I don’t have to pay sales tax, this is not fair. Oh, oh, I just said thighs and breasts didn’t I? Don’t go away, I’ll be right back.
Anyway, I ordered the three-meat, three-egg scramble that was the breakfast special for $6.25. When the waitress brought it I looked at it and said, "Holy Christ, that is enough food to feed an army." It was on a big oval platter with a large pile of scrambled eggs and meat on one end, a huge pile of hash browns in the middle, and two slices of toast on the other end.
As I sat there eating I was thinking about the fact that thirty thousand people on this planet would starve to death today, that mothers would have to watch their children die because she had nothing to feed them. That she might have to eat her first born in order that she might continue to live for another day, that does happen. Yup, I was thinking what a screwed up world this is. I took some of it home for breakfast the next day. Two turds for $6.25, not a bad deal at all I guess, but at home I can make a turd for fifty cents. I can feed a person for a crummy quarter a day by giving to The World Food Bank.
My knees are getting old, having spent so much time on them begging for sex. Well, that is more funny than saying that I wore them out working, and trying to shove my leg up my butt with a motorcycle. The house I’m painting in is two stories, all those stairs and going up ladders a lot is showing me my age.
Another correction: You can’t glue a plastic carburetor float back together with a glue gun like I mentioned earlier, it falls apart again. Glue guns are wonderful for some things, but not so wonderful for other things. You can’t build birdhouses with them either, they will fall apart in the rain and all the little eggs tumble out.
Balance folks, it’s all about balance. Balance the things that are wrong with humor, don’t let it all drive you insane, crazy is okay, insane is an ugly thing.
I am the all, you are the all, we are the all. Ah shit, we are so screwed. But hey, be cheerful and carefree, sing and dance, let the Buddhists do the suffering for us. LOL
Update: Honey, the kitten is back home and doing fine, I take her back in thirty days for a shot. I’m thinking of having an identification chip put in her. Then I’ll have, you know, a chippy pussy.
Hum, I can't get the picture of me in my robe to load to Blogspot this morning. Will try another time.
Interesting blog by Glenda, I’m just amazed that she can keep four blogs going, that is more than I even have time to keep track of, so I’m just going to watch this one.
http://swiftspeech.blogspot.com/
Scott Adam’s got a new suit. Billy got a new, well, nothing. Billy’s ego doesn’t need a new suit so he can fly around the country making speeches and acting important. Scott confuses Billy, he acts like an ecologist and human that cares at times, but then blows it with all his trips and acting important. I think that he is interesting, but I do not think that he is important.
Besides, Billy should not be allowed loose in stores to buy clothes for himself. Billy is a clothes-shopping idiot. Billy shops in thrift stores for everything except undies and socks and shoes. But I seldom shop for clothes, when I moved here it was with the assumption that the cosmos would provide what I need, and that works very well for me so things just keep flowing to me. So many things at times that I have to pass them on or I would have way too much stuff here.
Billy’s favorite ‘suit’ is a ‘robe’ that Ellen gave me, I don’t know what to call it, folks have given me different names for it. I use it when I’m doing weddings, at the peace rallies, and feeling spiritual. Most folks like it, I get a lot of comments on it, I’m looking for more like it. Would like a lighter one for warm days, and a shorter one for when I hike to the hot springs to be at one with the cosmos. I’ll post a picture of it at the end of this post.
Buddhist bullshit
I feel like picking on Buddhists today, I’ll pick on Christian’s and Muslim’s another day. I’m all about fair play, I’ll pick on all idiots and religions, um, all religious idiots that is.
"Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the Buddha...Using the mind to look for reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation."
Bah, frigging Buddhists, empty minds my butt, their heads are full of grapes. We are here to tackle things, fix things, not run from them, and too make the world a better place. Running and hiding from the mind is for frigging cowards. I don’t know many Buddhists, but the ones I do know don’t have any ‘Zen’, they have frigging grapes in their heads, that apparently have fermented and made them as loopy as hell. The only thing more weird than a Buddhist is two Buddhists, they often can’t even stand each other. They are about as much fun to be around as watching grapes ferment. Boooooring. Avoid the Buddhists, they will put you to sleep, or drive you to blow your brains out just to get away from them. Fuck it, sing and dance, make some noise, lots of it. And give someone a hug, Buddhists are terrible at hugs and love, they are so distant, and I like them distant, about two thousand miles away from me is just about right. :-)
"If you come upon Buddha on the road, kill him." I wouldn’t go as far as that, but I’m sure not going to party with the idiot. They think that we are here to suffer, and to that I say……. BULLSHIT !! Really, we’re just here to be happy and piss off the Buddhists. LOL
Zen, I’ll tell you what Zen is, a beer and some good sex with a spiritual Goddess. But I can’t find her, sigh. Now that I’m thinking about that I’ll have to have an out of body experience with the president of the local chapter of the Insane Chicks Society. That’s masturbation for you slow witted readers. :-)
Okay, I’m back, where were we? Wait, cover for me, going in for seconds, I’ll be right back. LOL
People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact
on history. - Dan Quayle (Raise your hand if you are as weird as I am)
Violence as a way of gaining power...is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security. - Alfred Adler
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Here is an interesting link. I’ll gladly steal anything I come across that I think might be profound, meaningful, touching, heartfelt, or help change the world in some little way. Or just give us something to laugh about, it’s all about balance you know. Copyrights are for technical manuals, everything else is fair game to all of us. Just because someone writes something and thinks it is an original thought to them doesn’t mean it is. So I encourage all of you too take anything off the web that you like and think might make the world a better place, and pass it on. Those that want to make money trying to make the world a better place, bah on them. I’ve always said that truth and wisdom should be free to all, and they can’t sue all of us.

Correction niCk (Mem Beth): They are not voices in your head, they are things that are trying to flow through you. Well, they may be in your head, but that isn’t where they want to stay, they want to move on, flow through you. Following me? So share all your useful love and wisdom and worries with others, it’s what our journey and evolution is about.
So when I took the kitten to the vets the other day, Helen (the cat-loving lady next door) went with me, and then invited me to have breakfast out with her. I seldom eat out other than at fast food joints where I can get a turd for a buck, I prefer to eat at home where food is dirt cheap. So we went to the Cornerhouse Café, my favorite place to go if eating out at a sit down place.
It’s been remodeled after a fire a few years back and is clean and friendly and the prices are reasonable, I’m only willing to pay so much for another turd. A thirty-dollar lobster is still just another turd at the end of the day. I’m a simple man and an easy keeper and I don’t eat much, it doesn’t take a lot to keep a hundred and sixty-five pounds of bullshit going. But I’m still pissed that I have to pay sales tax on beer, doesn’t pouring it over your corn flakes at breakfast make it a food item?
Hell, when I go to the liquor store for Rum to inject in my chicken thighs and breasts I don’t have to pay sales tax, this is not fair. Oh, oh, I just said thighs and breasts didn’t I? Don’t go away, I’ll be right back.

Glenda !!
Glenda !! How in the world can you keep four blogs running? I barely have time for one. And of course you can use anything on my blog that you like, I swipe a lot of it anyway. And even the words that I do write, they are not my words, they are just words that flow through me. Just as the words that you write are words that flow through you. Go back far enough in time and you will see that none of us are having any original thoughts when it comes to war, love, sex, greed, respect for mother earth, and many other things like that.

Two posts again
Well aren't I just the little post bitch? LOL
Mouse Story ...
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.
"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray, be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse, I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- Like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife, the farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another. One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

Piss on money?
So I just went back and reread the rant that Sharona put on my blog on 8/18/2006. I’m going to address one thing she said.
"You say "piss on money," but it comes in pretty fuckin' handy when you have a kid, bub. It also comes in handy TO PAY *YOUR* SOCIAL SECURITY. Stop collecting *MY* money and do something useful like WORK if you truly "piss on money". YOU go work the shitty job. But you won't do that, because you don't walk the walk--you only talk the talk."
Well, the thing is sweetie-pie, it’s true that we need money, it’s what makes the world go around, all I’m saying is that we don’t need more, because having more won’t make us any more happy. So what I’m saying is "piss on more money". I know a lot of rich people that are not happy, I work for them all the time, and I don’t like working for them. I’ve made a lot of money in the past, lived in nice homes and all that, it was a pain in the butt trying to keep up with every other idiot that wanted to put on aires.
As for my working, I guess you haven’t read much of my blog or you would know that I worked hard all my life. That I’ve never asked or expected anyone to do something I wouldn’t do. I did and still do all the shitty work that no one else wanted to do, so you don’t know what in the fuck you are talking about. I’ve been a janitor for myself in my own businesses, and for others that think they are too fuckin’ good to do such work. As a service manager in dealerships I’ve managed up to twenty mechanics and trained them, and still cleaned up messes behind them.
I still get on steep roofs and clean out gutters, clean toilets, build things, fix things, do my share of volunteer work, and cook breakfast for the old lady next door everyday. I clean everything but my place. LOL. Not long ago I crawled under a house through millions of spiders and cobwebs and over old shit from a broken sewer line to replace thirty feet of wire for a dying lady so that she can keep warm. Black shit came out of my nose for three days. I’ll willing to guess that I do more honest work in a day than you do in a week you spoiled American brat, and I have the dirty fingernails to prove it. Unless your husband has a low paying trade or job you have all your real needs taken care of. Go ahead, feel free to comment on this, will I allow the post so you can rant at me? You bet, I don’t monitor my posts, you get instant mouthing off to the rest of the world, so go ahead and show them what you are.
Good chicks
Sure, I like to fuss about the screwed up women on this planet, why shouldn’t I? I have to live around them. But thankfully there are also some good chicks on this planet. Although I’ve just recently discovered their blogs I like what I see on them, and I would like to like to honor two of them. I thank the cosmos for ladies like these, I’m sure they are fine women, gals like this rock, because they frigging care about more than just themselves.

And I will give honorable mention to this one, even though she does think that I’m a crazy old fuck, a point I won’t argue. It would be like Einstein and I sitting here arguing about which one of us was the most crazy. It wouldn’t matter, we would both know it and be okay with it.
http://adventuresindisaster.blogspot.com/
Hey, I just want things to be right on this planet. It’s a beautiful physical place were we can have these beautiful experiences. Drink a little booze, smoke a little dope, enjoy music and dance. Oh, and sex, not that I get any from all the insane needy chicks around here. Things like that. All this greed and fighting and destruction of the planet really bothers me. Many people here don’t get that decent basic life.
All I’ve wanted all my life is to have a basic simple life that is affordable, and now that I have it I’m not letting an overly needy woman tell me that we need more. Been there, done that, they are never happy, just always want more. Others might think I’m crazy because I send money to try to help make other folks lives better, but I don’t much care what others think, they are a part of me, I want to try to help make their lives better also, at least get a little food in their guts.
I fuss about all the fighting and greed of course, but God is busy with other things and hasn’t got the time to spend on all problems. God in human form is as limited as everyone else. That is why I turn those worries over to others. Badtux does a much better job of fussing about the wars than I have the time for.

And a lady that lives in France
http://minou-in-france.blogspot.com/
That reads my blog commented about me on her blog.
She said "I have been reading this blog for a while now, http://bbc98362.blogspot.com/ and I would like to say that it echoes pretty much my own attitude to life, the world and everything. We all need to laugh a little at the absurdities of life, as well as not take ourselves too seriously - we are just a speck of dust in the entire universe after all."
Well, I do take a lot of things seriously and do a lot of fussing and bitching, but why should I take myself seriously? Hell, no one else does. God is omnipresent, not omnipotent, there are all kinds of shit here that I can’t make right, so I balance it out with humor and accepting that I’m an idiot in evolution. That because you are all part of the all, that you are all idiots in evolution. Some of us are just better idiots is all.
And what is the true skinny on kissing? Not that it will stop me from kissing.

On writing
On Scott Adam’s blog the other day he asked "If aliens landed in your backyard and gave you one minute to describe everything there is to know about human behavior, what would you say?"
I think my answer was okay but maybe the most honest and funniest one was posted by Robert.
Alien: You have one minute to describe the totality of Human behavior!
Human: Fuck you.
Love this DOCTOR!!!! (This is silly, but kind of fun, and the last part is true)
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need gain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"
On writing
I always wrote with the idea that what I put out there is going to stay there. Once I publish something, it has been published. I've never deleted more than one or two posts from my site.

All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things. - Bobby Knight
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them. - Charles Caleb Colton
Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly
You ask me why I do not write something. I think one's feelings waste themselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results. - Florence Nightingale
The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and all time. - George Bernard Shaw
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. - Henry David Thoreau (Don’t look at me, I’ve lived it and have the wear and tear to show it)
Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it. - Jesse Stuart
The way you define yourself as a writer is that you write every time you have a free minute. If you didn't behave that way you would never do anything. - John Irving
Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money. - Jules Renard (I’ve never written for money)
There's always something to write about. If there's not then you need to live life more aggressively. - Min Kim

I do not write because I want to, I write because I’m driven to. – Billy B Cook
I don’t recall the exact quote even though I know I have it on one of my documents on this computer. But it goes something like "If you are trying to fix the world, it’s because you are trying to fix yourself." So lets look at some quotes with the word ‘world’ in them, but later, maybe in my next post.

I think my answer was okay but maybe the most honest and funniest one was posted by Robert.
Alien: You have one minute to describe the totality of Human behavior!
Human: Fuck you.
Love this DOCTOR!!!! (This is silly, but kind of fun, and the last part is true)
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need gain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"
On writing
I always wrote with the idea that what I put out there is going to stay there. Once I publish something, it has been published. I've never deleted more than one or two posts from my site. I don't think that there are take backs. I don't feel right about it. - Alison Headley, Digital Preservation and Blogs, SXSW 2006

I'm so stupid
I’m so stupid
A friend talked me into doing a little touch up painting for him, to get a home ready for sale as they have moved into another one in town. He assured me that it was just a little work. Oh sure, when I got there yesterday it turned into five rooms and some of the ceilings.
Well, no point in whineing about it, I’ll just get them done as soon as possible. Everyone keeps complaining that they can’t find workers, where in the hell is everyone? Off writing books? Doesn’t anyone believe in honest labor and craftsmanship anymore? Why am I constantly turning down work? Aren’t I supposed to be retired? They keep making more people, there should be plenty of workers, has everyone gotten lazy? I see that I have more questions than I have answers.
I was at a meeting about four years ago and a man said that in twenty years a carpenter was going to cost about four hundred dollars an hour, if you could find one. Seems like it will be true, isn’t that interesting?
On advice
It is very difficult to live among people you love and hold back from offering them advice. - Anne Tyler
Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it. - Gordon R. Dickson
There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise. - Gore Vidal
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right. - Hannah Whitall Smith
Many receive advice, few profit by it. - Publilius Syrus (100 BC)
In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend. - Solon (638 BC - 559 BC)
I went to the peace rally at noon yesterday, there where about twenty people there, only twenty, sad isn't it? And many of the people driving by give us the 'fuck you' finger. What a sick country I live in. But at least it's not war torn, yet.
An interesting book
When I was in the library a few days ago I scanned the new books section and noticed "it’s NOT me, it’s YOU" Subtitle "the ultimate BREAKUP book." So of course I checked it out, it’s an interesting book. The authors are Anna Jane Grossman and Flint Wainess. I have some great quotes on breakups but don’t have time to look for them right now.
And I have a great picture of revenge, but I’m not going to post it here. Don’t want pictures taking up my allotted blogger space. It is a picture of what appears to be a lot of folks at an outdoor concert, an airplane is flying overhead trailing a banner that says "Scott Kelly has a small dick." I’m sure you can picture that in your minds.
New World Order
Rose sent me a pdf document with scary information about the New World order some are trying to build. I haven’t read it all yet as it is long.
The problem isn't that a New World order is a bad idea, because it isn't. It's just that it's trying to be done improperly. I have no problem with a one-world government and getting rid of nationalism and patriotism and things like that. But the current New World order they are trying to create is being created by capitalists and idiots that like power. A proper New World order would be done spirituality.
I swiped this story off of the web because I think that it’s worth sharing.
The Wisdom Of Sharing
Stone Soup
There are many variations on the story of stone soup, but they all involve a traveler coming into a town beset by famine. The inhabitants try to discourage the traveler from staying, fearing he wants them to give him food. They tell him in no uncertain terms that there's no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explains that he doesn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watch suspiciously as he builds a fire and fills a cauldron with water. With great ceremony, he pulls a stone from a bag, dropping the stone into the pot of water. He sniffs the brew extravagantly and exclaims how delicious stone soup is. As the villagers begin to show interest, he mentions how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brings out a cabbage to share. This episode repeats itself until the soup has cabbage, carrots, onions, and beets-indeed, a substantial soup that feeds everyone in the village.
This story addresses the human tendency to hoard in times of deprivation. When resources are scarce, we pull back and put all of our energy into self-preservation. We isolate ourselves and shut out others. As the story of stone soup reveals, in doing so, we often deprive ourselves and everyone else of a feast. This metaphor plays out beyond the realm of food. We hoard ideas, love, and energy, thinking we will be richer if we keep to them to ourselves, when in truth we make the world, and ourselves, poorer whenever we greedily stockpile our reserves. The traveler was able to see that the villagers were holding back, and he had the genius to draw them out and inspire them to give, thus creating a spread that none of them could have created alone.
Are you like one of the villagers, holding back? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will inspire others to do the same. The reward is a banquet that can nourish many.
Ever ask God, or whoever, whatever, why this world is so messed up? What answer might you expect to get back? How about "YOU go about YOUR business of doing MY business or it’s going to stay messed up." BBC

First a good joke
A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human beings are the only animals that stutter", she says.
A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered", she volunteered. The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.
"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the rottweiler, who lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard! "That must've been scary", said the teacher.
"It sure was", said the little girl. "My kitty went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'...and before he could say "Fuck," the rottweiler killed him!"
I’m honored
I’m truly honored that Sharona read my blog yesterday and choose to leave a comment, even if she doesn’t like a mirror held up before her. I didn’t even know she bothered to read my blog. For someone that stated a while back that she doesn’t care what others think of her she sure seems to have gotten riled up. Ha, ha, ha. I like to piss off spoiled American women that are never happy with what they have. And Sharona, I earned my retirement, it won’t cost you a penny so don’t worry about it. I’m sure that I’ve pissed away more money than you will ever make. :-)
It’s interesting to note that needy people always hate ecologists, what do they care if this world goes to hell so long as they can spoil themselves. Are never happy with what they have and always want more, and still aren’t happy. I have no use for people that don’t care about the planet and it’s future and I make that pretty clear. Being as she deleted my comments there is no record of what I said, but it’s interesting to note that she ranted at me a lot more than the wisdom I was trying to give her. Damn, I am just so honored that a renowned author choose to leave a rant on my blog, it made my day!!!! It was better than having a tooth pulled and I always enjoy that. Yes, life is good.
Interesting quote
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now... only much, much better.
Well, the reason is because others screwed up needs, greed’s, and realities are always getting in my way, or this would be more like a paradise to me.
Count me in as being a dissenter: The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself. - Archibald MacLeish, poet and librarian (1892-1982)
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. - George Bernard Shaw
And as Albert Einstein said. Nationalism is an infantile disease.
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. - Will Rogers
Oh dear, did I gossip about Sharona? I sure did, I hope everyone else enjoyed it even if she didn’t. And her rant is interesting, tells me a lot about her.
Until you make peace with who you are you'll never be content with what you have. - Doris Mortman
I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday. If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out. - Pamela Anderson
I wonder if she ever thinks about having to pack those big boobs around when she gets older.
That reminds me of an old song. Jumped for the saddle, the saddle wasn’t there, rammed nine inches up the old gray mare. Come a tie my pecker to a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.
The first time I saw her she was standing in the door and the nipples on her titties hung clean to the floor. Come a tie my pecker to a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.
The last time I saw her, haven’t seen her since, she was jacking off a nigger through a barbed wire fence. Come a tie my pecker too a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.
Boy, can you tell I was raised in a mining town? LOL. And don’t take offence at the word nigger, it’s just a word in a song, it isn’t like I have anything against those folks. I judge people by what they are, not what bloodline they are.
What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost; but what I gave away will be mine forever. - Ethel Percy Andrus
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again. - Maya Angelou
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. - Maya Angelou
A silly poem
My wife woke up this morning
She was feeling very ill.
I don't know what caused it,
She isn't on the pill,
I had to help her down the stairs,
Her legs were so unsteady,
I had to help her to the kitchen,
To get my breakfast ready!

It’s interesting to note that needy people always hate ecologists, what do they care if this world goes to hell so long as they can spoil themselves. Are never happy with what they have and always want more, and still aren’t happy. I have no use for people that don’t care about the planet and it’s future and I make that pretty clear. Being as she deleted my comments there is no record of what I said, but it’s interesting to note that she ranted at me a lot more than the wisdom I was trying to give her. Damn, I am just so honored that a renowned author choose to leave a rant on my blog, it made my day!!!! It was better than having a tooth pulled and I always enjoy that. Yes, life is good.
Interesting quote
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now... only much, much better.
Well, the reason is because others screwed up needs, greed’s, and realities are always getting in my way, or this would be more like a paradise to me.
Count me in as being a dissenter: The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself. - Archibald MacLeish, poet and librarian (1892-1982)
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. - George Bernard Shaw
And as Albert Einstein said. Nationalism is an infantile disease.
The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. - Will Rogers
Oh dear, did I gossip about Sharona? I sure did, I hope everyone else enjoyed it even if she didn’t. And her rant is interesting, tells me a lot about her.
Until you make peace with who you are you'll never be content with what you have. - Doris Mortman
I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday. If I think too much, it kind of freaks me out. - Pamela Anderson
I wonder if she ever thinks about having to pack those big boobs around when she gets older.
That reminds me of an old song. Jumped for the saddle, the saddle wasn’t there, rammed nine inches up the old gray mare. Come a tie my pecker to a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.
The first time I saw her she was standing in the door and the nipples on her titties hung clean to the floor. Come a tie my pecker to a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.
The last time I saw her, haven’t seen her since, she was jacking off a nigger through a barbed wire fence. Come a tie my pecker too a tree, to a tree, come a tie my picker to a tree.
Boy, can you tell I was raised in a mining town? LOL. And don’t take offence at the word nigger, it’s just a word in a song, it isn’t like I have anything against those folks. I judge people by what they are, not what bloodline they are.
What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost; but what I gave away will be mine forever. - Ethel Percy Andrus
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again. - Maya Angelou
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. - Maya Angelou
A silly poem
My wife woke up this morning
She was feeling very ill.
I don't know what caused it,
She isn't on the pill,
I had to help her down the stairs,
Her legs were so unsteady,
I had to help her to the kitchen,
To get my breakfast ready!

Most interesting blogs.
Most interesting blogs.
While I find Scott Adam’s blog to be entertaining, and even educational at times. I think the three most interesting blogs on the web are Alabama Buzz and Badtux, and of course mine. We all share a strange journey together on the way to a higher enlightenment, at least that is the way I see it. So I’m adding Badtux to my list on the right. When he’s writing satire it’s hard to follow him at times, but when he’s hammering at the truth he is generally right spot on, I think. And he finds some very interesting information and sites to share with us. Blog’s will help change the world socially one day.

Sharona at
http://www.sharonanelson.blogspot.com/
Complained that she is having trouble writing her love stories. Gotta write love stories to make a living I guess, in her mind anyway. I suggested that she get a real job and then just write for the love of it. Or as I said to her, you don’t need more money, all you have is all you need. People always think they need more money, bullshit. I put two comments on her blog that she approved, then I sent two more, she not only didn’t approve them, she deleted the first two. Small people do that, he, he, he.
And I’ll never read one of her books, they are fiction, made up. I like first person love stories, like Richard Bach’s "The Bridge Across Forever." I’ve read it two times, it’s the only love story I’ll ever have to read. Or "I Take Thee Serenity." That was a very good love story also. If she writes a first person love story about her and her husband maybe I will read it. But I suspect that she doesn’t live the stories she writes, that she is just another American woman that is needy and wants more than she has. Why can’t people just go with the age-old wisdom of "All I have is all I need." ???? Really, if you have a roof over your head, food in the cupboard, someone to share life with, what more do you need? Believe me, I’m not going to ask Sharona.
I’m having two teeth pulled today, getting rid of these teeth is like a gift. I’d rather have teeth pulled than get a new car. Seven more to go and I can get a plate.

That's odd
Since I started allowing comments I have not had one person tell me that I’m an idiot. I’m sure that someone must think so though. On the other hand maybe it’s because I only have about three readers? Could be, I don’t know how many people read this blog. And I’ve noticed that on Scott’s blog that we don’t call each other idiots as much as we used too. Guess we’ve figured out that we are all idiots, and decided to be okay with it.
Hindu Women
For centuries, Hindu women have worn a spot on their foreheads. We have always naively thought that it had something to do with their religion. The true story has recently been revealed by the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. When one of these beautiful women gets married, she brings a dowry. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the spot to see if he has won either a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop or a motel in the United States. Just thought you would like to know. :-)
A cold start solenoid for the Honda scooter is sixty bucks, I’m not spending that much just to get it to start when cold, I’ll fix up my own system, that’s why I’m a master mechanic. Then while working on it the carburetor fell off of the work area and broke the float (If you’re not fucking up some it’s because you’re not doing anything). So it was back to the Honda shop, they wanted almost forty bucks for a silly little plastic float. What a rip-off. So I got out the glue gun and put it back together. And there is no way to adjust the float, the service manual says that if it isn’t in specs to install a new float. How in the hell would that help if they are all the same. So I shimmed it with a little piece of metal.

The Insane Chicks Society
A woman, no matter how old she is, that is screwed up in how she thinks about relationships, men, love and sex, can have immature ways of thinking. For example, #$&@! kept fussing about how many emails I sent her, and they all wasn't personal ones, some were jokes and other things, like I send others. She kept complaining that I wasn't respecting her 'email boundary’. I finely told her that she hadn't defined it, how many a day was acceptable? One? Two? Three? Never once did she reply to that. What she did instead was change her email address so I couldn't send her any more at all. That is very immature, something a fourteen year old would do. I could also make some other examples of how she is immature also.
And many books on the subject isn't helping them any, they tell them to 'control' the situation. That is the dumbest fucking advice in the world. I think at levels way above her, there is no way she could ever control our situation in the ways she tries to, and women like that complain that you are trying to control them. My advice to guys is that if they are dealing with a woman like that, it’s best to just move on and look for someone more mature.
So lets take that up another notch in thinking and see where it takes us. She, and most women, can't grasp the difference between spirit and human brain. Her spirit loves me, but her mixed up human brain interferes with that. Her spirit wants to hold my hand, but her mixed up human brain interferes with that. Her spirit wants me to kiss her breasts and make them happy, but her human brain gets in the way of that. Still following me?
The bottom line is that she has to get that brain squared away or she is never going to have a decent relationship with any man. I don't know what books she reads about relationships but they are not helping her. She needs to back up and take a good look at John Gray. And read 'I'm Ok, Your Ok' about three times.
Still, get a complex man like me, and a scatter brain like her together and it sure does get interesting. Gives me things to write about.
I've helped a few women, we didn't stay together, but at least they went on to have decent relationships with other men. And some are just so stupid that they can never be helped. One that I tried to help, and spent a lot of money in the process, is headed to jail, for the third time. I'm pretty sure that no one is ever going to be able to help her.
A flight to San Diego had such a remarkably smooth landing that the passengers broke into a spontaneous applause. Upon hearing of their delight, the Captain made this announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand you are pleased with our landing. I'd like to take credit for it, but it was actually our co-pilot who is in training that landed the plane. As soon as he is sufficiently trained, I am sure that will not happen again."
In 1951, Red Skelton and a party of friends flew to Europe, where Skelton was to appear at the London Palladium. As they were flying over the Swiss Alps, three of the airplane's engines failed. The situation looked very grave and the passengers began to pray. Skelton went into one of his best comic routines to distract them from the emergency as the plane lost altitude, coming closer and closer to the ominous-looking mountains. At the last moment, the pilot spied a large field among the precipitous slopes and made a perfect landing. Skelton broke the relieved silence by saying, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may return to all the evil habits you gave up twenty minutes ago."
I start each day intent on changing the world and having one hell of a good time, sometimes this makes planing the day difficult. BBC
