(A follow-up to “Poor Judgment”)
“I am prepared for Judgment day”.
Wow, cool, someone taking responsibility for themselves. Regardless of how silly, that may seem. However, it gives pause to consider the difference between that, and “ARE YOU PREPARED FOR JUDGEMENT DAY??”
Holy Shit, it is even in the dictionary. WTF?
“Judgment Day : The day of God’s judgment of humankind at the end of the world, according to various theologies.”
– M-W.com
(Such an undefinable definition based on nothing but eons of indoctrinations.)
Trouble is, there are not any calendars with this date notated. Like Valentine’s Day, or Buy Extra Shit Day, due to Presidents, Veterans, Labor, Memories, and the big one…Christmas.
Still “I am prepared for Judgment day”, leads to an entire different thought experiment. (Since, one is not very likely to speak with the person presenting this parable).
Starting with what does either mean? “I am prepared” ……hmmm. How? Is there an objective course, one could take to prepare? Or specific printed graphic novel type instructions to assemble a desk? Or a bike?
Hint: the Bible is not an instruction manual, when information like the following is in it.
Ezekiel 23:20
“20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”
Kind of like “The Fly” episode in “Breaking Bad” it didn’t need to be there….at all. Not for content, context or continuity.
Next question. Why? Nothing exists without observation and perception anyway. What happens with all that preparation, since it is subjective? One could have all the tools to build a desk or bike, but without either “materials”, one can do nothing but wait.
Same goes for “The Judgement Day” when it has all the protocol of being able to be kicked like a can down the road infinitely, there is no longer a day to prepare for.
Yet, if one can attach their perceived modified behavior to a slogan, that I understand am all for it. Each word, is all a derivative of the WORD/GOD. Like each individual is a spark of the divine.
What one does as a spark, with words, can only bring them closer to the all encompassing divine WORD.

To words
Ingesting them through
My ears and eyes
Altering my consciousness
Rails of sentences
Bumps of two-bit words
Lines of lyrics
Kilos of quotes
Cracks of comedians
Always looking for
New words for a new high
Triggering brain cells
Altering reality through
Perception and projection
Inferences and implications
Inflections and intentions
Based on the purity
Of the sources
Do they come from loose lips
Or researched reports
Context elevates their effect

“I Want A New Drug”
(The following was chopped up for content)
“Yeah-eah!
I want a new drug
One that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new drug
One that won’t hurt my head
One that won’t make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
//
I want a new drug
One that won’t spill
One that don’t cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new drug
One that won’t go away
One that won’t keep me up all night
One that won’t make me sleep all day
//
I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won’t make me feel too bad
One that won’t make me feel too good
I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won’t make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do”
– Huey Lewis and The News (With apologies)
Attention plus identity equals: Attentidentity
On one hand I am all for it, in the quest to pick your own pronoun. You go for it, they.
On the other hand ,shaving one’s head and wearing androgynous clothing, merely puts one’s self in a leaderless group for the sake of individual uniqueness when its existence negates its intent.
“I don’t want to belong to any group that would have me as a member.”
– Groucho Marx (attributed)
I am securely insecure enough in my own skin, that any label is unnecessary. Mostly because “I don’t want to belong to any group that would have me as a member.” – Me
Here is something to ponder.
Why does this type of attention seeking, involve only the genitals? Hmmm?
Because sex sells, and for the most part people are afraid of their bodies in the first place. Since they have been indoctrinated to be out of touch with them themselves, as they are. Exploring might make one go blind.
Out of touch. (A little accidental humor).
What feels good, being socially told to deny those urges usually by religion and bad parents. Till it serves the purpose of creating consumers and making movable targets.
Speaking of religion, wasn’t that the first group to start with genital mutilation by using the barbaric surgery of circumcision as an identifier to prove who was God’s people.
Ummm, since God is omniscient and all seeing, wouldn’t “he” know who his people are? Plus, wouldn’t everyone be God’s people????? Right?
(Forgive me if I do not know the whole story or the “correct” story, because it is an illogical story written by many people who could not get their facts straight.)(That is another rant for another time.)
Later picked up by the state as a good idea, for “health” reasons…..because mutilation is much easier to perform than guiding or teaching individuals on how to clean their gun, without it “accidentally” “going off”. Therefore, mutilation overrides evolution.
One of my less than desirable characteristics is being a poor listener. My modus operandi is to presume what I think the other person is going to say, so I can prepare something intelligent to say, even before they have actually said anything.
Since I miss out on all the pertinent content and context, the fault falls to the conclusion that the problem is with the ears.
The surface solution would be then to have a Joseph Mengele type surgeon attach some elephant ears. Sure it would hurt, but then I would be self forced to listen. Not because of the large ears. But rather so I wouldn’t have to admit that the problem was between the ears in the first place.
But then…..I’d be the poster boy for husband’s everywhere who could now explain away why they have trouble listening to their wives. It’s the ears, man.
On a positive note, perhaps the bipedal earthling artists are transitioning into a greater awareness of who they are, by individually exploring new avenues.
We are all one of one consciousness.
I suspect though, since deformation surgeries are mostly non-lethal, it is a legal cash cow.
Because…..if individuals started attentidentitifying as quadriplegics and “felt” they were in a body, that was not meant to have limbs, not many surgeons would be lining up to cut off arms and legs…think?
Or killing elephants for their ears, would be frowned upon, since they would lose their survive in the wild defense mechanism.
As I wrote, am a horrific communicator, but am not about to have my tongue removed or my fingers chopped off, since the problem would still exist between my newly added elephant ears.
“Now let’s repeat the non-conformists’ oath:
I promise to be different!
(SHOUT) I promise to be different!
I promise to be unique!

(SHOUT) I promise not….
Good!”

How about “I promise not to mutilate my self in any way”
So as not to constantly follow which way the wind blows. By thinking more things out with reversible thought experiments. That explore alternatives without costing a dime.

Of every voting meme, crafted comment, subtle suggestion, intense inference, effusive elusion, angry rant, delicate discourse, new ways to tally and track each vote, on uncorruptible machines, certified by certified biases. Is…that your vote counts.
When we know….
“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”
― Mark Twain
I vote we don’t vote, just work, act, start, understand, and move towards the goal that all are housed and fed. The rest will take care of itself. No one crafting the loose and legalese of who gets to marry who or what an individual does what to their own body. How many guns you have the “right” to own.
“Democracy is the worst kind, I am sorry, but it is. We get to pick our leaders..well…
What if I don’t want a leader? Where does that vote go? I do good on my own, I don’t want to be “led”. Is that freedom?”

How can all the votes be counted with any specific purpose anyway to verify a single determination?
Most people vote with their pocketbook.
“It’s the economy, stupid.”
– James Carville
Some people allegedly vote their consciousness, some people vote on a isolated issue. (As long as I get to keep my guns, I don’t care what else “my” candidate does.) Some people vote along party lines, some people vote, due to…..get this…..”name” recognition. (Seems to me, is how we got the last guy. Ooopsie.)
So we vote, we play the game, mostly so that with a vague notion, we can declare we voted, when someone asks if we vote. It is cute and a fun distraction to participate in, but ultimately if you do not “get” what or who you voted for, then guess what…your vote doesn’t “count”.
Not to mention, there is no accountability to the voter, on the promises they made to get elected. When the corrupt K street lobbyists, sit in their offices and sell (euphemism:bribe) them into something the corporations wanted in the first place.
“Because if it’s really just the fault of these politicians then where are all the other bright people of conscience?
Where are all the bright, honest, inteligent americans ready to step in and save the Nation and lead the way?
We don’t have people like that in this country; everybody’s at the mall, scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking his credit card out of his fanny pack and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them!
So I have solved this little political dilemma for myself in a very simple way:
On election day… I stay home. I don’t vote. Fuck’em, fuck’em! I don’t vote.
Two reasons, two reasons I don’t vote: First of all, is meaningless.
This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. The shit they shuffle around every 4 years, *pfff* doesn’t mean a fucking thing.
And secondly I don’t vote because I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain.
People like to twist that around, I know. They say: “Well, if you don’t vote, you have no right to complain”; but where’s the logic in that?
If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people and they get into office and screw everything up… well, you are responsible for what they have done.
You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain.
I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain as long as I want about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.
So I know that a little later on this year you’re going to have another of those really swell presidential (mid-term) elections that you like so much, you enjoy yourselves it’ll be alot of fun.
I’m sure that as soon as the election is over your country will improve immediately.
As for me, I’ll be home that day doing essentially the same thing as you. The only difference is, when I get finished masturbating I’m gonna have a little something to show for it folks. .
Thank you very much.”

No wonder George Carlin was awarded the Mark Twain Prize For American Humor.
“Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he’ll be a mile away and barefoot.”
Jack Handy
But what if instead, one actually put on those shoes, at least metaphorically. Especially when it comes to racism, genocide, sexism and discrimination.
This has come about after briefly listening to a talking head, rattle on about a something being an other than a “white” person problem. Dismissing it, for that very reason.
Which alone isn’t very objective for an alleged facts only newscaster, rather an opinionater. Regurgitated ad nauseam bestowed upon them as okay, by their false (45) profit. (An intentional misspelling)
“Undivided”
“And when we gonna learn to try on Someone’s shoes sometimes? (That’s right)
When we gonna start to see
From someone else’s eyes?
I think it’s time to come together,
You and I can make a change
Maybe we can make a difference,
Make the world a better place
Look around and love somebody,
We’ve been hateful long enough”
Tim McGraw / Tyler Hubbard
I was going to put on a black person’s shoes, but when I reached down to put them on, instead, felt the cold steel, shackled to my wrists and ankles. Trying to rub the pain away, under the scars and calluses.
Next, put on a pair of moccasins, only to find my self ready to cry a river, that would still not wash away the trail of tears.
Then I put on a pair of high heeled pumps, wondering why I would deform my spine to conform to some sexist societal standard. While bearing the weight of the world and children.
If I briefly walk tiptoed, I get irritated.
Finally, put on a gay/transgender person’s shoes only to wonder why anyone would concern themselves, with what I did with the rest of my body to share it consensually with whomever I chose or felt so inclined.
Reluctantly I offered up my shoes, but everyone refused, for the shoes have been used to trample the downtrodden, kick the innocent, step over dead bodies, while climbing the ladder of success and worn out for running away from too many problems.

Life is as precious or expendable as the state deems necessary. So then, the federal “supreme” court, did not relinquish their power, to the states.
It was enhanced as another tool of mass distraction to keep the masses fighting amongst themselves. As it was creeping towards its irrelevance and dissolution.
We are () this close to evolving, if we could keep awake long enough not to be distracted.
At this point, the state doesn’t even have to declare it has been violated, (like it did to initiate the Iraq war) to its willing financial backers (tax payers) for sympathy, justification and rallying around a flag.
“Look, look, the alleged assaulter is over there in Afghanistan, we just first have to stop by Iraq to pickup “our” oil first. Ta-da. Distraction Accomplished.” – GWB
The “state”* gets to decide willy-nilly which out of the womb fully formed fetuses it wants to kill.
* (By the way…..ummm, “WE” are the “state”)
Like sending money and equipment to Ukraine to remove and bury, other countries out of the womb fetuses. Till it decides to get its camouflage lab jackets dirty, or smugly wipe the blood of its sterile nitrile gloved hands.
But for some reason, if the fetus is in a placenta pool or a half baked bun in an oven, it is off limits. Oh yeah……

Leaving sort of a bloodied hands off, blind eye turned approach to school and other mass shootings because people have a right to defend their possessions, they’ve slaved so hard to acquire.
Though most of the victims weren’t looking for possessions in the first place. Just random targets of men projecting their feelings of being unloved, into a combination character of Charles Whitman, John Wayne and Dirty Harry, that can solve their problems with a gun.
Forget the Trilateral commission, the Deep state or the Illuminati, it is a conspiracy by the conglomeration of casket makers and backhoe operators to sell more caskets and dig more holes.
To feed the corporate government ouroboros snake on a diet of death and consumption.
On a planet where we could all be loving, fun-ing, understanding and evolving, instead of filling, killing, burying, replacing and devolving.

Violent murders can not be undone
The stench is vile from the corpse
And still the NRA has yet to show remorse
School Day, Bloody School Day

Too soon? The police won’t enter the room
Blue thin. Line’s dim
Going in hot, means “they” might get shot
School Day, Bloody School Day

School Day, Bloody School Day

Kids didn’t want to die
Planted seeds in haste
Such a tragic waste
Simply ran out of days

Wednesday, Bloody School Day, oh
Thursday, Bloody School Day
Friday, Bloody School Day, oh

And it’s true, we are immune

Along my various routes
Hangs a big billboard
That suggests in all caps
“THERE IS EVIDENCE OF GOD”
With the corporate Christian logo
Shadowed on the bottom left
A Bible passage on the bottom right
Acts 1:3
Hmmmm…..opted to look that up.
I want to know what is claimed as proof.
Acts 1:3
“After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.”
– NIV
That is not proof of God, those are words on paper or digitally pixilated on a screen.
That is proof of a revised and rewritten reference book as a tool of mind manipulation.
The actual proof of God exists in the overall awareness of everything and nothing. From the subjective perception, starting with the eyes in their socket moving rapidly, watching the road and surrounding traffic, peripherally catching a message that distracts ones attention.
Transfers that visual, through a not so empty gap of invisible air, filled with radio waves, gamma rays, infrared and ultraviolet light plus cellular technology. Invert it into the cerebral cortex, reinvert it for cranial comprehension.
Instantly recognize it as a learned language, ponder its meaning and intention. All the while proceeding forth, utilizing the hands on the ends of the arms to maneuver the steering wheel. Manipulating the feet at the ends of the legs to control the speed.
Through a central nervous system that can not be duplicated, via a heart pumping life giving blood by a couple of expanding and contracting air sacs converting oxygen into carbon dioxide.
In a vehicle processing food for fuel. In a vehicle combusting fuel for speed. On a rock, spinning on a tilted axis, hurling through a vacuum of space without any accelerent. Warmed by a star nearly a billion miles away, illuminating a sign, not worth reading in the first place.
Trouble with that realization of God, is that there is no way to make money off it. If one can grasp, that everything is made up and held together by a God energy. Buying into a notion that there is an omnipotent invisible dude pulling puppet strings is a hard pill to swallow.
“Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.
And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!.
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! “

Without all those manly
Man-made distractions
(Billboards to sell you something
That is what billboards are for)
One could easily get in touch
With the infinite intelligence
The universal mind
Nature and the nature of existence
It is all energy and energy (Like God)
Cannot be created or destroyed
But that is a hard sell to suggest
There is no death of anything
Just transference of energy
From one form to another
In dimensions we can not see
Let alone comprehend or touch
Knowing the man-made man God
Abdicates the responsibility of free will
Putting the onus on “him” always or easily
That no matter (there is no matter)
How “good” or “bad” one behaves
At any given point in the course of a day
“He” can pull the rug out from underneath you
Or simply forgive you upon your request
For dastardly dirty deeds you may have done
“Pretty neat deal, huh? You know how we got it? We made the whole fucking thing up!

“We claim, you know, that [God] is us, and that’s probably the best way to get at it, okay?
Most of the major religions have said, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, love yourself,’ and then, without saying it, they meant,
‘Because basically, they’re the same guy!’ …
Even if you don’t tell the truck driver, right out, that he’s a flower and that he’s a tree and you’re him, you know he could believe it if someone else told him.”
– George Carlin
In all likelihood I am wrong, and am okay with that. For unlike the billboard ad, I have nothing to sell. That and nothing is provable anyway. If beliefs had proof, they would not be beliefs…..they’d be proofs.
“All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”

Of three different people
Inhaling what seems to be their passion
Yet, exhaling their own contradictions
Against their alleged expression
First up someone very upset about the overturning of Roe v Wade. Using FB posts and memes. Passionate dialog…
Then using the same platforms to show off their red, white and blue homemade decorations of fireworks and slogans.
“Home of the free, because of the brave.”
Which should have been images of red and white, caps and gowns for new handmaids.
Stating a more accurate saying “Home of the subjugated, because of the slave owners.”
Carrying on as if double-think doesn’t exist.
Not only that, are sending their money to China, to waste money celebrating artificial freedom.
Second up: a conversation with a person who likes to show off, what he doesn’t realize that Faux news infiltrated his mind with.
A semi – loose-lipped comment projecting his pondering that he’s not sure if “this” country can handle all the influx of immigrants.
(Usually, keep my mouth shut, knowing nothing said will make any difference.)
Offering up a polite point, that he objects to people coming over a (man made / or imaginary) border…..
1.5 million migrants minus 1 million expulsions, netting 1/2 million immigrants.
That he has a problem with…..
But doesn’t seem to mind the 4.5 million immigrants that arrive from a different dimension pushing through the uterine wall to get here……that’s okay?????
Plus, based on previous religious revalations (one could assume) “he” agrees with the overturning of Roe v Wade, wants to make sure another seven hundred thousand make it through to “this” country.
I wanted to interrupt his two-minutes hate with a recitation of Doug Stanhope’s bit.
“Immigration”
“There’s too many people in this fucking country. But I think if you’re gonna focus on keeping people out, you gotta focus on the people who don’t contribute to society. That’s an old brainer but…
And there’s a specific group of over four million people that come into this country every year and don’t contribute a fucking thing. And everyone knows who I’m talking about. But no one wants to say it cause it’s politically incorrect, but fuck that.
You know who I’m talking about… // You know who I’m talking about? Who am I talking…? Babies! That’s who I’m talking about. Babies!
They come out of your hole, they come into this country, they don’t speak the language, they don’t wanna work. They just take, and they take… And they cause a ruckus, and they waste all of our natural resources. I say put the border patrol agent at the foot of your uterus.
Anything comes out without a visa you kick it back in the hole. “What’s your name? You’re not on the list. Get back behind the velvet rope.” “The club is overfull. We’ll call you when we need you.”
– Doug Stanhope
But poor cell service (thankfully) terminated that conversation, whew saved by the cell.
Last one…..for now.
Saw on FB someone posted a simple ALL CAPS MEME, without explanation
BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY
(Like all, are supposed to understand the inference)
Hmmmm, seems to me the same person recently posted a reference “he” was in theoretical agreement with the overturning of Roe v Wade.
But instead of “commenting” in his empty comments section, (saved them for here).
Why would you support the death penalty when you recently expressed that it was okay to stop it, with the overturning of Roe v Wade.
Some fetuses grow up to be people you think need to be killed, post natal abortions so to speak. What kind of sadist are you.
Am I the only one seeing the contradictions here, the double-think and the hyperbolic hypocrisy.
