New Points of Failure
Take a bite from the apple, my dear. The taste of knowledge will open up for you a whole new world, you’ll see. The juices will flow from lips down your cheek as it searches out your soul. Take a byte from the Apple, my dear. Worlds will be c

Today, during my meditation, I had a strange experience, I noticed an idle thought dancing before me like a feminine roué, Strange, I thought, I’m in my serious, delightful and rejuvenating daily meditation, so why this distraction? After asking f

I am often plagued by a very existential question: Am I doing what I should be doing, or have I been led astray from my destiny? Don’t laugh, things like that bother some of us…, Am I living in the right place, Am I in the right profession? Am I
Psychology
Got tired of being busted by what was interpreted rather than what I said. That's one reason why today I am freeatlast.
How To Treat Women
Watched a documentary Domestic Violence. One of the more memorable quotes came from a little girl who said, "If my dad dies, I wouldn't cry." The theme seemed to be that there are a lot of guys out there that don't love themselves, because if they did there wouldn't be all this horrible crap done to women.
Connectivity is not what it promises to be...
people are more isolated now amidst all these technology...virtual connection is really not necessarily a positive human experience...the only good thing I get out of it is the fact that it shows us who's really interested in making us a part of their lives. It's been the best measure of loyalty and support I have known by far...

Whispered Freedom
Emancipation was the key to the Promised Land, a sweeter, brighter, a more blissful life stretched out over time. The thoughts of freedom and freedoms came fearful like a powerful wave of sea water; a steadily crashing movement moving more away that

Deafening Silence
This is not based on any actual event, however there are many instances like this on the news where drunk driver have killed people and basically got off with a slap on the wrist ... I called it 'Deafening Silence' because this seems to be happening more and more yet there seems to be silence on this subject ... a silence that is deafening

Car Repairs
I knew if I called this mechanic he wouldn't say he was sorry or offer any apology, but I had to at least let him know it really ticked me off that they would treat me so shabbily. I don't know much about cars, but I learned this one from a neighbor who works on cars, if it makes noise when you turn, check the steering fluid, and don't overfill it or underfill it, or you will hear a squeaky noise.

Just pondering where people live and where they move to. We have certainly had our influx of new people in my small town, I can't say it is for the better.

Neighbors (part 1)
This song (poem) I wrote 1-18-11 should be easy to understand. It's about my neighbor and politics at that time and place; but, a few changes in my writing to fit into today. I once had a neighbor who claimed he was abducted by aliens and the way he spoke sounded actually just like Carl from Sling Blade. At that time Obama was president. This song is comedy.
You're Still Beautiful To Me
I dont see how people can buy into this bull , not even worthy of bathroom material and a waste on my cable bill for sure. I ordered HBO not hiphop abs. Love yourself be yourself. Make the change you need or want but for yourself, or a loved one, something better than because somebody somewhere said so. Might as well play a record backwards then kill someone and say the devil made you do it. It worked in the 80's or did that fail too...Cheers
