Good is threatening to kidnap me if I don’t at least look busy. …….
I am finally finding some vents for my frustrations cyber/psych/social/spiritual. now that some of my activist/dissent blogs, diatribes have not been taken down. Turns out most of what was logged previously…….needs to be repeated and addressed before leaving. Otherwise, revisiting the subjects involuntarily as history pl…

These were comedian Bill Maher's closing remarks on his show the other night regarding George W. Bush.
Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.
Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished." "Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man?
Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote."
"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes."
"On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airlines, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side."
"So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.'
"While I work I leave my body outside the door, the way Moslems take off their shoes before entering the mosque"...... Pablo Picasso
Wayne Dyer, "I did the same thing when I wrote this book. I left my body out side the room. By that I mean I left outside the world of aches and intrusions which are experienced in form, and allowed only my mind to enter my writing domain. In this world of pure thought there are no limits. What is the limit to your imagination? Part of me that is my thoughts is pure energy allowing the ideas to coalesce in words in my mind, and then in to form on my typewriter. No excuses, no fatigue, no fears, no anguish simply energy that is somehow flowing through me to you without any limitations. As i create i know that these words and ideas are not mine to own That i am a conduit through which they flow, and when i leave my body at the door as Picasso said, I am part of the creative process and the rewards that is related to being awakened.".................intro you'll see it when you believe it.
To keep growing i must give it away....... true? comments?

It is not how old you are but how you are old
Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.
Culture is what's left after you have forgotten everything.
I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn't.
Look for the ridiculous in everything, and you will find it.
If money does not make you happy; give it back.
Writing is the only way to talk without being interrupted.
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
Dying serves no purpose so die now.
The horse is the only animal into which one can bang nails.
We don't understand life any better at forty than at twenty, but we know it and admit it.
I find when I do not think of myself I do not think at all.
Failure is not the only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving an excuse.
Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.
As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more.
I am never bored anywhere; being bored is an insult to oneself…. Pierre-Jules Renard or Jules Renard
