Perhaps it is just me, but doesn’t that sound like they do not wash the sheets and towels?
Especially after being barraged with the litany of reading material posted in any given hotel room.

“Double Speak” by Professor William Lutz
A “Jeopardy” answer to the following.
The previous medical term to the body part Dr. Colon discovered.
Under the category “Exhausted” for $400.
Double Jeopardy
What is a “Whistle Blower”
The previous name for the sphincter.
Declaration of independence
Sounds so powerful.
Declaration.
Beginning with the warm resonate Dee sound, like deep, determined, depth, then with a short pause before jumping in with those aggressive Kay sounds, crunch, crash, kill, completing it out with the settling sound like relaxation or completion.
Independence.
Starting off, with an I, may be a soft I, still you get I am, I can, I will, to depend, I can depend on I, then dence, as in confidence, reassurance.
Without going through the whole rigmarole on the break down of the meaning, to get to its base level is not much more than a say-so of an illusion.
Can’t sell fireworks, excessive amouts of beer and “American” flags” Made in Malaysia” regardless of how much it could be hyped to sell the celebration of a say-so of an illusion.
Wonder what would have happened if the forefathers (or rather land holding, slave owning, indigenous culture destroying, caucasian predecessors ) would have tried to work non – violently towards a resolution.
After all, if you do not want to pay a tax on tea. DON’T BUY ANY FUCKING TEA. Make your own, and all the other “stuff” that keeps getting bought that is taxed. See, still dependant on consumption.
Declaring independence, while still being dependant is like a teenager stating how he / she is their own person and can do whatever they want, but still needs money for gas to put in the car they are borrowing.
Instead of declaring indepedence, could have tried to masterfully manifest loving interdependence.
I suppose it is a “right of passage”, but really, where has it gotten us as an intelligent species?
Consider the soapbox one needed to stand on to declare independence.
With that, an awareness comes over you as independence is an illusion. Because of the overwhelming realization that hits you.
That nature made the tree, that was cut down by a logger, sent off to a mill to be cut into squared pieces.
Purchased by a carpenter, who had to get nails from someone else to put it together.
Sent off to the “Soapbox store”, where the clerk is employed to be there in place for a person to buy the soapbox.
All so someone can declare their independence, while being so dependant on so many other factors, it is incalculable.
The above was “strangely” inspired after listening to “Founding Faith” by Steven Waldman
They say, (you know, those proverbial “theys”) that in this life, you get two chances at families, the one you are born into, and the one you choose.
Leading to the notion, regarding, that if these people (bio mom and dad) were not your “parents” you would have nothing to do with them.
Transforming to the realization that ironically my non biological children actually want to be around their mom and me.
Got to appreciate that, right. Who knows, maybe it is just their mom and I get the benefits.
The thought police divisions of the CIA, FBI, ATF, US Marshalls, have been reassigned.
Turns out, they ran out of thoughts to monitor as so few are THINKING anymore.
Not to worry, everyone will stay employed in the new division of Pavlovian Proletariat Police.
So now when segments of the population turn like a school of fish en masse but not in the direction that was intended.
They will simply dial up the news organizations to report a different story to distract them from realizing how little they are in control of their own lives.
Can’t get much more Pavlovian than that.
To sum up, the following is from
Christopher Titus ‘ s CD Neverlution.
Let’s define terrorist organization. A terrorist organization is an organization that scares you on a daily basis and makes you change your behavior.
What does CNN, FOX News and MSNBC do on a daily basis? // We scare ourselves on a daily basis. The news is the terrorism….
I’m sure this is my longest written roller coaster thus far, enjoy the ride. Keep your head back, arms and feet inside the car as there are tangent twists and bifurcation bends. Enter at your own risk and please exit safely.
Praise Words
John 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind’s greatest achievements have come about by talking and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn’t have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.
-Stephen Hawking
As best presented by the intro to Pink Floyd ‘ s “Keep Talking” from the “Division Bell” (sound and context exquisitely presented to have a more forceful impact). “Keep Talking” is most excellent as well.
Now for a visual.
Here’s what God looks like to me.
WORD
Why, because words are the manifestations of thought. An expression of the divine. Thoughts (god head) create words (god),
Perhaps, the bi-pedal species learned to talk, because it’s eyes weren’t quite open yet, and although they are now, the connection is not solidified, because we are not yet doing, what we see and know we should be doing.
It’s not so much that the homosedentarians have the idea of creationism as being wrong, but rather backwards. It’s not god that made man, it’s man that made god.
See, the whole God thing got out of hand. (We humans, when are we going to have a meeting, we got out of hand again.)(We took the God thing, and ran off the goddamn end of the earth with it). We got this God notion, its a good notion, it’s probably a right notion.// Generally speaking we have been rather self centered about our attitudes with God.
In fact we created him, in our own image and likeness. // He never started and he’s never going to end, can you dig it.// First of all we claim that he is us, and that is probably the best way to get at it.
Most of the major religions have said, Love your God, love your neighbor, love yourself, // because basically it’s the same guy.// So if God is you and me, and we’re God, he’s not perfect, cause we are pretty far from it. How could he be perfect…….? He’s not, it shows in his work.// And everything he makes….dies.//
It’s like the caterpillar builds the cocoon and the butterfly gets all the reviews.
George Carlin “God” from “Toledo Window Box”
Again, I’m not looking to be right, but be understood.
Think of the personal power you would have, if even for just a fleeting moment, that you are God.
For starters, you would LOVE, everything you created, and never bring any harm to your creations. After all, everything is
your creation. Energy only changes form.
Jesus Christ, I hope this isn’t blasphemous.
On some level, and on occasion, (it happens more often, than nought ) that responsibility, runs through my head.
For example, it occurs to me that this post, might offend someone, (probably shouldn’t post it) and for that, I apologize.
Others might be enlightened by it, (and is a shame, it was not posted earlier ) I’m putting this out as quickly as I can.
That’s when I become slightly aware, that responsibility is the responsibility of the individual.
If I could find the switch in my brain to turn off these thoughts I just might, yet some “feel” like they come from the heart, and I’m aware of what happens when the plug is pulled on that appliance.
As for god just arbitrarily putting stars in the sky, just because, simply doesn’t work anymore, we’ve evolved past that bs story.
Soon, it won’t matter, since there are so many lights, emanating from this little, blue green ball, we won’t be able to see the stars anymore anyway. Stars, nice story, if you are a child and can accept a simple answer, however it’s not true, and if you get very deep inside your “being”…………see it, feel it, know it. The stars have just always been there and always will be.
Genesis 1:16
God made two great lights–the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
That bible verse will soon be obsolete, when a kid or anyone looks into the “night” sky and can only see an illuminated haze off the smog and pollution we are gradually choking ourselves off with.
Ever think of the lost inspiration and wonder of who we are, is going missing, because our place in the galaxy is obscured by our need to shine lights on things that aren’t worth looking at?
That, or maybe we are simply too afraid of the dark.
Regarding the star thing, know it’s not true, and is a deeply imbeded meme, that needs to be stripped from our consciousness so we can evolve.
Based on the biblical notion of god, here is what i got from a Tommy Barnett “quote” from “A power of a half hour “
“Align your values with gods values.”
Basically that states, if you don’t like how your kids turned out with the minimal effort you put into them. Drown them.
That is one of the messages conveyed in the “Noah” story.
If you tell the story of Noah and the ark to an 8 year old retarded boy, he’s going to have some questions. //
Well Bobby, once upon a time, God was angry at all the people of the world, and instead of telling them what they were doing wrong and offering guidance, he decided to go and drown everyone.
He only told one man, a random man named Noah. // He wasn’t a special man, in fact he was 600 years old and a drunk……Anyway, God told Noah to build a great boat, and he and his family would be the only people to survive the flood.
Because, apparently all the other people with boats, their shit didn’t work. Noah magically got two of each animal to come to him on foot from all over the world and willingly boarded the boat and got into cages.
They sailed away for 40 days and 40 nights….civilisation began anew.
8 year old retarded boy is going to go, ahhh, there’s a lot of holes in that story.
Joe Rogan from “I was raised a Catholic / in search of Noah’s ark”
As for the tree of life? Did it have annual rings ? 1 week old, hmm? Plus you would think that if it was a tree of “life” it would still be here and “alive”.
Ironically the slow evolution will be the exponential over breeding that gets us to the same point as if we could collectively, by slowing down and working towards enlightenment, by making this a better world for children to come to.
“Childbirth isn’t natural…..I’ll let that sink in. Childbirth isn’t natural. We’re not supposed to give birth. We’re not supposed to age or die. Did you know that? We’re supposed to live forever. We’re supposed to be in a garden, right now, leaning against a tree, naming animals, and the fact that you don’t know the name of every animal in the world, tells me something. You know what it tells me. We left the garden too soon.
What’s that?
I don’t know.
It’s a Wombat. Shut up and go back to the garden.
No rutting till you name all the animals.
We have to have a beutiful world where children can come to.
Ok. That would be knowing your world. Ok. //
I don’t know with all the margaritas we buy we can afford a child, honey. // “
(Of course, this all stems from the Doug Stanhope “selfish” notion that I don’t feel like I belong here in the first place.)
My only contribution is my lack of contribution. That and verbally finagling ideas to convey a message that at the core of what most people complain about is that there are too many incarnates here at the same time.
Like an over loaded life raft, being too full defeats its purpose, and is in danger of capsizing..
Geez, that’s along way from describing God as words. I think this ride skipped the tracks.
This dichotomous system we are living in, may be the only one we know. However it is not the only one.
Good guys and the bad guys, some things never change, there’s Sheriffs in New York and Outlaws on the range.// I’m in jail with no bail, that old boys gone free, that’s how my sad story ends. We both broke the law, but its me who took the fall, seems the judge and him were fishing friends.
John Durill
A behavior that would be fair to eliminate, less of course you are friends with the “judge”. So not only is justice blind, seems rather corrupt, or at least corruptible.
It doesn’t have to be like this. all we have to do is make sure that we keep talking.
Stephen Hawking
I only say this because I can’t seem to stop looking at things from both sides .
My grandpa Al is from who I learned to understand both sides, he would tell “jokes” and instead of using “stereotypes” he would tell the same jokes using people from states.
For example, did you hear the Californians started a war with Oregon by throwing a grenade across the border?
Do you know what the Oregonian ‘ s did? They pulled the pin and threw it back.
Yet, being a hypersensitive little kid, thought that made the Californians sound not so smart, he simply explained that the Californians were telling the same joke in reverse. Ah, ha, so the point is to laugh because someone else is telling the same joke.
So, after that I assumed every one knew the same “rule” therefore nothing that is perceived offensive is, because it is a matter of context and content.
Recontextualize what may offend. 5FM
I would also learn that most people do not understand that rule and fail to have a sense of humor about themselves.
“Folks, it’s time to evolve. That’s why we’re troubled.
You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything’s failing?
It’s because, um – they’re no longer relevant. We’re supposed to keep evolving.
Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs.
You do know that, right?”
Bill Hicks
It may have been our nature to be brutal and violent however, with enlightened evolution, it doesn’t have to be.
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself.

Here Now?
Who’s to say we are?
What is to say when?
Where are we what?
What are we how?
Where is here?
When is now?
How are we where?
When is to say how?
How are we who?
Why are we when?
Who are we how?
The breakdown.
Here Now?
Here? Either in location? As in Earth? Or would that be “on” Earth ? Could that be the “here”?, or “here” as in “this” “moment” ?
Which would be gone already, both by location, as in a micro-millisecond (the planet is moving), can’t tell, though, can we?
Wait………, stop, for a second,………(oh shit, that’s impossible)……..make it a moment……, it’s / its coming……damn, it is gone now.
Well, for just that moment, I “felt” being in a place, for the indescribable micro mini moment of a being, while being in a place, in a building, on the ground and partially in the ground, above more ground, filled with all kinds of living, dying, birthing and decaying “Earth” stuff, (shit, I guess, it is all Earth ‘stuff”) above some hot molten other stuff, all the way to the other side of the sphere, to more solid stuff, discovering rather, “instantly”, (hahahaha)(yeah right)(where’d that go?), moving un calcuabaly fast through “space”.
Where did that moment go? It was here, just a moment ago.
No wonder, we can’t answer that question “Why are we here?” The answer is gone before it gets here……
I was going to “play” with breaking down all the rest of those questioning questions, but my head is ready to explode. Actually I did, but that moment went by waaaay to quickly for me to type it all out.
Enjoy your “moments”.
When nature and nurture have circumstantially taught you to tolerate the intolerable, how do you know or feel what or when not to tolerate?
Is it our fate
To tolerate the hate
Or just too late
To contemplate
*
If there was just a rule
Which would be so cool
Only the wise, or maybe a fool
Knows what’s intolerable
*
Oh faddle fiddle
Of write do I diddle
Can’t answer the riddle
I’m in the middle
Convenient Culpability
Twisted tie in
Must be some deep seated unconscious need to elevate ones self importance by merely psychological attachments.
Either in your “team” or your “candidate”
Ever notice that if the above team or candidate is either winning or leading in the polls, you get to exclaim “we’re winning ” if not, you get to say the “team name here” did horrible on Sunday, or “candidate name here” did horrible at the debate.
Come on, step up and if you can accept being apart of something “winning” or a “championship” surely you can accept “failure” or for lack of a better term “losership”.
I do it all the time, it makes you work harder to improve your being instead of shirking responsibility by using words and language to abdicate responsibility.
Which is why I have neither a “team” nor a “candidate”. My “sport” is improving my mind and my “politics” is being my own leader.
