    all of the favorite books i've had at different times but were too much bulk to hang onto many of the times i've had to relocate in my life.
    (most of which are out of print, and the ones i have for reference are mostly out of date)

    more places and things being shown on television without being photobombed by human faces
    (and without being psycho-bombed by christerism when they're not either)

    Word perfect and complete. Believe it or not, this pretty poem for a lovely lady expresses advanced mathematics. :)

    Color My World

    Inner Peace And Joy Accompany Mama’s Sparkling Laughter,
    Echoing out to Infinity and Beyond Eternity in the Empty void!
    Where True Happiness is having no desires for myself.
    When I’m happy just doing whatever it is I’m doing!
    Perfectly content simply to do a Good day’s Work!
    Not a care in the world I surrender to the world!
    No uncertainties, Silly worries or Distractions!
    Finding Gratification simply Being who I am!
    Finding Bliss Acquiescing to what is to come.
    Shadows Dance Delightfully, All Around Me!
    Darkest of all Darkness, yet somehow visible!
    Flickering Invisible Pixies, Without Attitudes.
    Enticing me ever onward, towards my Center!
    Bewitching Silence Dances between the notes!
    Each tiniest gesture compels me ever forward!
    Like a leaf Cast Adrift on the highest of winds;
    Like the Sun Shinning Through, After A Storm.
    Like a Newborn Infant before learning to Smile.
    Like a Wave gently reborn yet again mid-ocean!
    Leaving all my worldly cares on the far horizon!
    Relinquishing all my burdens off in the distance!
    So that I alone may Lay Me Down to Sleep again,
    All my cares fading becoming lost in the distance.
    All my Burdens Vanish as if never having existed!
    All the problems of the world, another bad dream.
    Rejoicing waters of life dance on the gentle breeze!
    Riding Like the Wind, Inside the Great Wide Open!
    Sailing Past Wooden Ships on the Water Very Free.
    Still Rejoicing upon rejoining the land of the living!
    Flying Higher Than The Greatest Eagle Might Soar!
    Where the Moon and her lover Find Solitude at last.
    Higher than Cloud nines will ever manage to attain!
    Rainbows Following them Wherever they might Go.
    Dazzling all who may Look upon them Unprepared.
    Brilliant diamonds all Agleam in Luminous sunlight,
    Heedless of what destination might await them next;
    Their brilliance proclaiming their Overwhelming joy!
    Twinkling stars come to shine down on mother earth.
    To fall to earth or ascend yet higher unto the heavens.
    Reveling on discovering their own Glorious freedom;
    Celebrating their newfound freedom within the void!
    Expressing their gratitude to the Mother of All Voids!
    Expressing gratitude, and amazement, for their grace!
    Expressing their Simple Joy in taking Part in Creation!
    Hypnotic Babbling Of A Brook, As The Surf Comes In,
    The velvet white noise assuages all in complete silence.
    The cool flowing breeze, softly caresses my entire body.
    Like the softer silence, flowing unimpeded through me!
    Like the quiet overhead shade, yet gently appeasing me!
    Music bereft any instruments, and songs bereft all lyrics.
    Languorous intertwining shadows melt into the horizon.
    All my surroundings revealed as sheer poetry in motion!
    Promenading shadow and silence, in each delicious note,
    Each enjoining me, to come celebrate, dancing with them!
    Enthralling me mother nature dances to her own melody!
    Her love blossoming out to infinity, from beyond eternity!
    Laughing she continues to dance delightfully cajoling me!
    Captivating voices of the Universal Choir sing her praises,
    Luxuriating in their personal freedom, on the rock of ages!
    Basking in the light, of Mama And Papa’s bountiful graces,
    The naive grace, of the Smallest Child, dancing delightfully,
    Dancing just because she can’t help but break out in dance!
    Only because, dancing Joyfully is what she was born to do!
    Harmonious awareness Celebrates everything in existence!
    Lengthening shadows race, the still fading light of the sun!
    To sleep to slumber once more perchance dream yet again.
    To dream of Fleeting contours all escaping consciousness!
    To discover in repose, what Escapes us in our daily lives!
    To embrace what solace yet awaits surrendering to fate!
    Who Somehow Remembers, Their Dreams Come True!
    Who somehow summons the dreamer to dream again!
    Who commands all of space and time in their dreams.
    Who would soar higher still than the stars and moon!
    Who can accept what lies beyond all comprehension!
    Who would summon the weary, to dream once again!
    Who eagerly accepts what is to be but pure Fantasy!
    Who may embrace what never has made any sense!
    Whose dreams follow them wherever they may go.
    Who Still Embraces What Never Will Make Sense!
    What Others May Summarily Dismiss As Fiction!
    Within The Greatest Of All Possible Confidence!
    Holding It Nearest and Dearest To Their Heart.
    Knowing Only Their Love, In Such Moments!
    At long last two Lovers embrace once again!
    Their common Desire to Please each other!
    Color my world with hope of loving you.
    (CSNY, Christopher Cross, Chicago)

    The mathematics of love...

    Forever Young



    Each of us, enters into this world knowing!
    Exactly what our love, may mean to us all.
    Love remains True to the unspoken truth!
    Love remains when all else has failed us!
    Love remains, the ultimate authenticity!
    Love never bothers, with justifications!
    Love never bothers, with distinctions!
    Love sucks when there ain’t enough!
    Love stinks, when few ever share it.
    Love is quite often, indiscriminate!
    Love Happens Behind the Bushes!
    Love Makes The World Go Round!
    Love Makes Even The Sun Shine!
    Love Blossoms Forever Young!
    Love leaves us all speechless!
    Love knowing no boundary!
    Love makes anyone grateful!
    Love defies any expectations!
    Love is joy but joy is not love!
    Love is life, but life is not love!
    Love is hot but heat is not love!
    Love is sexy, but sex is not love!
    Love is true but truth is not love!
    Love is two, but two are not love!
    Love is more but more is not love!
    Love is humble but less is not love!
    Love is free but freedom is not love!
    Love abides, but to abide is not love!
    Love asserts, but love is never forced!
    Love is wealth, but riches are not love!
    Love is fun, but amusement is not love!
    Love tempts, but temptation is not love!
    Love is sweet, but sweets are never love!
    Love is all you need but need is not love!
    Love is giving, but generosity is not love!
    Love goes beyond but beyond is not love!
    Love is surprising, but novelty is not love!
    Love is engaging, but attention is not love!
    Love is inspired but inspiration is not love!
    Love lays down but lying down is not love!
    Love is content but contentment is not love!
    Love is enduring, but endurance is not love!
    Love is accepting, but acceptance is not love!
    Love commands but to command is not love!
    Love is thrilling but cheap thrills are not love!
    Love is a dream but our fantasies are not love!
    Love is creative but getting creative is not love!
    Love is priceless but cannot be bought and sold!
    Never Requiring a Reason Love Lends Meaning!
    For Love remains the One Greater Exultant Truth!
    Love is what inspires us all, to live out our dreams!
    Love really is what makes the world go round again!
    In bending the most, the tiniest heart bends time itself,
    In bending the most, the smallest may move mountains!
    Harmoniously embracing, every possible past and future!
    For neither love nor harmony are yet constrained by reason!
    Forever young, wild roses blossom in the cracks of sidewalks!
    Ensuring love springs eternal in the hearts of fools everywhere.
    What more in the name of love? Enough love to move the world!
    Love is never-ending Childhood's End every Child of God comprehends!
    For each Ugly Duckling must rise above themselves and become the swan!
    Discovering the fountain of youth, learning how to love ourselves properly!

    a piece of land where i could build things, or an equivelant access to one, even for everyone to have this as long as they didn't try to do so too close to each other.
    grow things too. mostly things to eat, and season with but also micro-floaral and other small scale plants to make natural scenery for outdoor model trains.

    mostly just to be able to do things, like making miniature shrines and having someplace to put them where people won't come along and destroy them.
    to live in a culture where people don't hate logic and don't want to destroy everything.

    does anybody remember dignity and that it was once desirable. not formality. you don't have to have formality to have dignity, just a certain aesthetic of,
    kind of imagination without it having to be sloppy, which i'm not even sure anyone is seeing in their mind the concept i'm trying to express,

    well at any rate i hanker for it, whether anyone understands, or has the slightest idea what i'm talking about.
    (and please don't say you "understand" emotionally. sorry but that has not a damd thing to do with what i'm talking about either)

    The sad part of that is that some people have no respect for anything.
    I see vandalized history all the time.
    I hanker for preservation

    well some things might be no particular loss, but destruction or disfigurization for the sake of narcisstic ego, don't add anything to an aesthetic of what could be.
    well its culture meaning what's more and less important to people and the statistic of that.
    the real history would be kind of hard to vandalize as it isn't recorded in stone but only past on through generational memory.
    well maybe not entirely.
    like you've got stonehinge and that sort of thing, that people can't be allowed to stand inside of and reinact what they think may have been rituals there thousands of years ago,
    and people can't be allowed or trusted to do that, because some people think it would be more important to carve their own names over the top of it, or spray paint, shudder.

    there are some things i would like to see, not so much preserved as simply not thrown out with the bath water.

    i'd like to see the mail back on the rail, but monuments that ego has erected to itself, like within the past two to five hundred years, i would mostly not miss,
    but that doesn't mean i'd enjoy seeing them all torn up either. it is curious to explore things when you can though,
    yah if people could be allowed to do that themselves, without some of them trying to destroy it for everyone else, yes that would be good,
    and it all comes back to having or not having a culture of dignity and consideration, and ways we could have that without being styflingly formal about it.

    History is one of my passions. But sadly times have changed.
    View my photo thread to see what happens.
    I always try to photo and show.
