Quote of the WeekScience without religion is lame; religion without science is blind--Albert Einstein8:45 AM - 8/29/2008 - comments {0} - post commentWould you like some pot with that shakeIs it just me, or has anyone else noticed there seems to be a growing trend in fast food joints, seeming to advertise primairly to stooners in thier commericals? So many of these commercials seem to be featuring the establishment exmpahasising just how much later they are going to be open. Now in all honestly, isn't it pretty much a given, ezactly who is going to be ordering a burger and fries at one in the morning. And there was a while back, one, I cannot remember which, where it seemed like the people in the commerical were blatently stoners.
Than I just saw the newest Toco Bell commericals, now, once again, who else but a stonner would be rapping about a drive threw menue while they are in the drive threw getting ready to order. 10:24 PM - 8/25/2008 - comments {2} - post commentDeal or No DealBeilive it or not, it is true, that I acutally did use to enjoy the show Deal Or No Deal. But now, it seems they are so despeerate, feeling like they have to fianlly give someone the million dollars away that the show is really just geting to be a bit boring and redundent. I mean really it seems they have done everything short of just making all 26 cases having a million dollars in them. And they are like despearetely trying to do all these different stupid stunts that they think will get more people to watch, but it is just making me not to watch anymore. I use to enjoy but now it is just like ok enough already.8:09 PM - 8/25/2008 - comments {0} - post commentTangled Up in MeThis is an exceert from an article I read. The article is called Tangled Up In Me by Joseph Hart and I read it in Utne, it is about the boomer generation, and well this passage just really struck me.
Such misty-eyed sessions of "those-were-the-days" tend to dominate the landscape of aging boomer culture, as does a sort of innocent grandiosity. Al Gore more or less cliaming to have invented the Interenet is just one item on a long list of willful superimposistions: The Beatles as if there were no Elvis, free love as if there were no Emma Goldman, utopian communes as if there were no American Trancendetalists; student movements as if there were no Latin America; LSD as if there were no laudanum. 11:43 AM - 8/25/2008 - comments {0} - post commentSpeachlessI really do not know what to say. I have just heard something that just leaves me speeachless and makes me want to go and bang my head against a brick wall a few dozen times.
There is this place in Indonesia where for centuries the people who live there had found a way to live in harmony with the Komodo Dragon's who also live in the area. And for 1000s of years, the people have coexisisted with these creatures in a way in which both parties were happy more or less. The dragons never harressed the people, and the people revered the dragon's as being sacred and never hunt them or hurt them.
What the people do, is when they go out on deer hunts they would leave offerings of parts of the deer out for the dragons, and on occassion they would sacrifice a goat to the dragons. They would take one of thier goats and leave it out there for the dragons. Which I know becasue the people are seen as being more "primitive" or tribal, people will have a tendency to think that sounds so barbaric and horrible. But it is no different from when I go to the reptile store and buy a live mouse to sacrifice to my snake to eat.
The people also keep dogs as pets, and the barking of the dogs, does help to warn away the dragons if they do come too close to the people's homes.
So anyway, so far so good.
But than this group of Enviromentalists come along and of course they think they have a better idea than the one which has been working for more than 100 years. Becasue they are "civilized" and "educated" they have a better system.
So the enviromentlest come in and say. "First of all you cannot go on deer hunts anymore, becasue we can't have you killing the dear, and goat sacrifices are inumane, so you cannot do that anymore, and dogs are not a native speicies to this area, so you have to get rid of your dogs.
And guess what happend after this brilliant plan was implimented?
Komodo Dragon's started attacking people, which has never happend before.
I just want to scream after that, it is so frustrating and just arrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!
I am left completely speachless. 9:52 AM - 8/25/2008 - comments {0} - post commentLate Night SpecialSince there is never anything on Sunday's I was flipping through the channles to try and find something at least somewhat tolerable to put upon the tv while I sit here at the computer and I happend upon PBS, though I usually never whatch that channel, I stumbled upon this rather odd, quirky looking movie. The sort of thing which I probably normally would not really pay any attention but I am here all by myself with nothing else to do, so I thought it could be kind of fun to watch, and it is quite amusing.
I have no idea what it is. It was already started when I first turnedit on, but in some ways in reminds me of the19th century style Gothic Novels. Though the moive I think is acutally set in the 40's based on the clothing and such, and it takes place in England.
There are these two old ladies, and one of them becomes convinced she saw a murder upon a train but no one will take her seriously becasue there is no proof of anything, so she gets her frineds to help her try and uncover the mystery. And there is this old man who lives in this estate that looks like a Castle almost, and his wife had died, and now he is bitter tword his sons. 9:36 PM - 8/24/2008 - comments {2} - post commentWitcheryWitchery
4:20 PM - 8/24/2008 - comments {0} - post commentGood idea gone wrongSometimes you get an idea, that you think at first will be a good idea, but you don't really think too far ahead, and than when you acutally go to do it, it turns out to be not such a good idea. And by than it is usually too late to go back.
Well I had come acorss this list called 1001 Books to Read Before You Die. And I love book lists so I thought it could be interesting, and I was looking through the list noting all the books upon the list I already read, or many books that I had wanted to read anyway.
So at first I think it will be fun to print this list out. Because I have an obcession with having lists, and well I love checking things off of lists. Though I was not nesscairly planning on trying to acutally read all of the books on the list, I thought it would be fun to check off the ones I have read, and see which ones I wish to read and check those off as I do, and such.
I go to print out the list not really thinking about it, and well as it truns out. 1001 books, makes for a lot of paper and printing, I do not know what to exepct, but I hadn't thought of that, but I did not want to stop after I was already in the middle of printing and waste what I just printed, so I printed the whole thing out but well it turned out to be a very fat list. Because on the website there were a total of 21 pages, which was not so bad, so I thought when I printed it out it would print like it was on the site.
But I did not think, that it there would be more books on a page on the website than could fit on a peice of paper, so for each one of those 21 pages on the website it printed 5 pages. But I have it now. 9:08 PM - 8/23/2008 - comments {0} - post commentWake No MoreWake No More

It is this sort of art-deco looking woman, very sleek, wearing a black dress, and elegant looking, and she is walking a pair of either Russian wolfhounds, or afghan hounds (Both look quite similar particularly in profile) And it is very simple, not a lot of minute details. I think it is a fairly well known artwork because I know I have seen it several times before. If anyone can actually tell me the name of it, or a link where I can see it online, it would be much appreciated. I need a physical visual of the work for something I am working on. 11:38 AM - 8/22/2008 - comments {0} - post commentMy life as a horror filmI was taking a bath this morning, when I think I was moementarily entered into a Japaneese horror film. I was sitting in the tub while the water was filling up, when all of the sudden I saw this large dark object, or shadow, or something wash out of the faucet with the water, and than it was gone in like a second.
So I was sitting there thinking what it could have been. Could some hair possible have gotton in there somehow? Was there a bug in there that got flushed out. Than for some reason I thought of a dead rat, though I do not know if that would even be possible.
So I reach over to turn the waters off and I look in the tub and there is no sign of anything at all in the water. But I know just what I saw. 8:52 AM - 8/22/2008 - comments {0} - post commentQuote of the WeekI thought this one was great

What a woman says to her ardent lover should be written in wind and running water--Galius Valerius Catullus 8:50 AM - 8/22/2008 - comments {0} - post commentNew WordsMy sister sent this to me and I just had to post becasue I thought it was hillarious
4:44 PM - 8/20/2008 - comments {1} - post commentWhat is the world coming too?I have recently joined up with this new book related website called Goodreads. A place where you can keep track of your books, read and write book reviews and join book discussion groups.
So I was bored and skimming through the different message board groups, and there are a ton of them for Twiligyt, and Stephenie Myers, I do not know how many of you have heard of her, but it is all the rage now. And they are books aimed at a teenage audiance.
And than I came across a book called Daylight, and it was a collection of pople that do not apporve of the Twilight series, and well I had mixed feelings about the group, becasue I agreed with them, but not for the same reasons.
What I mean is, well the Twilight books are all about vampires and this mortal woman who is in love with a vampire. So most the people in this group seemed very Christiny and not liking the books becasue of its dark aspects.
Now it goes without saying, that obviously that part of the books I have no problem with. What I do have a problem with is when I was a teenager and in highschool I was reading Anne Rice.
Though I have not read any of Meyers books, from what I have heard of them, well I can say with good confidence that the writing of those books is no where near up to par with the writing of Anne Rice. Whatever you might think of her books and her, she was a good quality, talented skilled writer.
So I am against the popularity of the Twilight books becasue they are cheeseball crap. Becasue they are not good writing. I would say that her skill level of wirting is probably something I would have read in like middle school. But not up to the level of the things I read in highschool.
If I were to attempt to read her books, it would be like my attemtps to read Harry Potter, and I know a lot of older people enjoy the Potter books and I do not mean to put them down, only that you have to admit that the writing level is a bit simplistic becasue the books were written for younger people.
So I am against the populartiy of the Twilight books becasue I think teenagers should be reading things of a higher quality of writing. 4:04 PM - 8/20/2008 - comments {0} - post commentThe Pale Horse RidesThe Pale Horse Rides There comes the pale horse across the glittering snow a sea of white, where ghost prints leave no trails. A shadow of a figure mounted upon its back undisturbed by winds despair it seems to glide as the pale horse rides. There is no escape when the faceless shadow extends a hand, a whisper lost to the souls come and ride away upon the pale horse Moved, quaking inside only coldness is the touch but there is no denying the draw to the darkness. To be swept away upon the pale horse and ride forever into the light of the moon come and ride away upon the pale horse There echoes softly in the still air not a sound heard, not a sound made you know the time is here. The time to ride into the darkness and sing the chorus of souls come and ride away upon the pale horse. 3:35 PM - 8/19/2008 - comments {0} - post commentTake the Bad with the Good or None At AllThe whole debate about God's gender is an age old one. Feminist, and women in general complaining about the fact that God is always portrayed in the masculine and referred to as "he" and philosophical essays, about God as a woman, or what gender God truly is, if God can have any true gender at all.
But the one thing you don't hear anyone complaining about is Death, The Grim Reaper, another popular figure who is always cast with a masculine identify. You do not hear any one trying to argue for the feminist version of The Grim Reaper, or questioning his gender. The feminists are perfectly content to let men have all the credit on that one. In fact if someone did try and create a feminized version of the Grim Reaper, that would probably cause outrage among women and be seen as anti-woman in some way. But if women truly were concerned with equality than shouldn't they be as equally upset about the fact that the personification of death is always in the masculine. Does not the idea of trying vouch for a female God, while rejecting the idea that there should also be a female Grim Reaper, only further stereotypes about women? 11:53 AM - 8/17/2008 - comments {0} - post commentCode of EthicsYes I am judgmental and have very rigid principles about certain things, and though I do not expect anyone to be perfect there are some things of which I find unforgivable and thus try and distance myself from and not be associated with in anyway. On the few things I do have principles about, I am very unyielding.
So where is this all going? Well I happened to be reading this blog, and debating if I should comment upon of their entries. The reason it was a debate was because I remember her blog and someone else's I use to get mixed up with each other. I think there was something similar in their blogs title, or usernames, or something, I cannot remember, but I just know I would get the two confused with each other. And so the reason why this even mattered, is because I remembered one of the blogs was this woman, who was prone to discuss in her blog various illicit liaisons which she endeavored in. And unfaithfulness is one thing of which I cannot abide by. So I refused to leave any sort of comment upon the blog if it was the hussy. So before I would comment on the blog I began to skim through past posts, and well though I did not read every single past entry, I am pretty sure, it was the other blog. So I decided that it would be safe for me to comment. 9:38 PM - 8/16/2008 - comments {0} - post commentBut if our love be dyingBut if our love be dying by Michael Field {Pen name of Englishwomen Katherine Harris Bradley (1846 - 1914) and her niece Edith Emma Cooper (1862 - 1913)}

Close to you
I feel your breath
warm; tantalizing
The scent of you
lingers in the air
the touch of you
a caress in the darkness
Your fingers lead me through
trusted wholly to you
flesh upon flesh
set aquiver and afire
The taste of you
upon my lips; my tongue
skin upon skin
you find all the right places
Falling into you
your thighs
hold me still
your heat radiates
Thrills ripple through my body
you know just where to kiss
each stroke
of tongue and fingers
awakening
My love, my lust
set me free
in the ways of love
Your body instructing mine
naked in sin
naked in innocence
Limbs wrapped up in each other
hushed words, whispered names
rhythm of two bodies
friction; heat; sweat
body to body
yours and mine.
