I new a guy that had a car exactly like The General and he even had a driver's license with the blonde guys name and pic on it.

These guys are supposedly the blackest man and the whitest man on Earth.

 

Thank you! I actually wasn't even going to mention that it was my birthday but I was kind of excited about what my wife bought me and wanted to tell someone. It would be kind of hard to mention birthday presents without mentioning my birthday.

 

Going To Alaska

 

That should be a beautiful adventure.

 

Sorry Aeri. It seems the older I get the more I feel the cold and damp in my bones. We will be getting up to the 60's this coming week. Truth is that I have to stay in this weather because I just can't take the heat and humidity of the summers in other climates.

 

Grace (dog) and I saw a skunk like that at the park earlier this week. We kept our distance.

 

I had a cool chat with a vicar about sexuality and the church this morning.
Was refreshing.

 

Saturday morning...


much to do today

 

Good morning

 

Just walked back up the hill from the cafe down the road, it was windy, wet and cold

Reminded me of Wales

 

Here's another opinion from my son. I think I'm happy with how he was raised but at the same time....I don't know if this world view makes your life any better.

I don't live in the past,
But I do make a point of visiting
For the sake of re-living it indirectly.
I want to see what things have
changed since then.
So I'll speak from the present tense,
and hold the image of cleanliness
up for comparison to the mess
we so comfortably live in.
We'll see if we've been given
anything different yet.
We don't like to talk
about oppression.
We don't want to believe
in our leaders' obsessions
with maintaining power.
The lesson here is one we learned
in history classes from the time
that we were eleven.
What was it that brought us out of
the Great Depression?
I'll wait.
If you really remember the answer
you're either senile or
still in the seventh grade,
because we forget things.
Don't we?
History is taught as if to say
that we were the good guys
in the stories,
and the villians were
all but ordinary,
because the things they did
were horrific.
Glory is our our territory
to occupy.
We've earned it, right?
Maybe not quite.
The answer, by the way is war.
Creation of corporate profit
from sacrifices of the marine corps,
army, navy and drafted, unlucky hordes.
Thousands of volunteers
sent off to die in an ugly war.
What did they die for?
Your freedom? Your liberty?
Your rights?
No. They died so that those
with wealth could have some more.
And it's been like that more and more
as the decades passed.
We have the tip of the sword
to our backs and don't even ask
what were being prodded toward.
We've read our text books,
but who can say they've read 1984?
Who's picked up some Thomas More
and seen Utopia?
Thoreau and other naturalists
fucking strewn across the floor,
collecting dust.
The ideas contained, untouched.
We probably all read Bradbury
in school, but it's all to clear
we didn't retain much,
because we're living with the same
kind of shit about which he warned us.
We don't even exist.
We're actually born dust
and we're stirred up on occasion
when people make it tough for us
And challenge our ideas.
A lot of things have happened
on this Earthen crust,
but conquest has definitely
been always continuous.
Look at Nazi Germany in that
Second World War that we won.
Then take a look at us.
Do you still trust your government
despite its obvious breaking
of the worlds trust?
This goes for everyone.
It starts with an act against us,
like a parliament building burning
or two great towers collapsed,
then they blame someone.
They say its foreign hate,
so hate what's foreign
and don't dare cry for them
when they all run for cover.
A system of manipulation
is set in place,
and hidden under that
is Big Brother doing what
he does best:
stepping on other human faces
to stand above the rest.
And we stand in his defense
and support his conquest.
Perpetuating death and
bringing pestilence.
Imperialist ideas masquerade
here as patriotism,
and anything less is left out
of the discussion
like opposition doesn't exist.
You're not a human being if this
doesn't make you fucking sick.
And if you don't know
where you stand,
it's time to get off the fence,
because if you take too long
they will push you over to my side,
and you will land with a broken neck
and never stand again.
You'll be labeled a conspiracy theorist
and your opinions will be discredited.
The world will be led and led again
in the same way that you're set against.
Our history classes
never dared say this,
but we have treated death
as though it is justified
by progress.
We have all been told we're
getting closer and closer to flawless,
but we are led by the same
dishonest, lawless, flawed and
void-of-logic fucking dogs
that chewed on Jewish necks
in the 1940's.
Guess again if you guessed that
we're better than they were then.
What's perpetuated doesn't end
until we are all each other's friends.
There is no good guy in the story,
we are all covered head to toe
in the blood of the people
that have died for national glory.
Again and again, we will
re-write our textbooks to say
the same things about now
that were said about then.
Or we will refuse their decisions
and string the system up by its neck.
Or we will be left for dead,
because they don't care about us.
in the end we're only a source of
wealth for them.

 

my ms pains are way to intense for me to focus on the poem.. sorry, it looks well put together..
we'll see what it looks like after the truck parked on my neck and back departs ..

 

No matter how far the fielders backed up--I could hit a softball over their heads and usually did. Brag-brag.

 

I was on the all-star baseball team for a few years when I was growing up. Shortstop, left field and catcher. I could throw a lazer to throw out runners but couldn't pitch to save my life. I hated playing pitcher.


Had to go look at some work for another company today. You know it's going to be a shit show if they have to call me to do it for them. I guess it's better for them to be safe than sorry though.
