Asinine

I've tried to think of it in several different ways, but in the end the only words I can think of are "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Did you post that comment and then go off and chortle about what a bitch you are. Are your friends proud of you and pat you on the back? Have you emailed people who've never seen my blog before to show them how asinine and sophomoric your humor can be. I want to be sure that the agility of your wit won't be over looked, so I'm reposting your comments.

Man-Erg

The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him move.
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping
in the quiet of his room,
but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;
he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
Yes the killer lives.
Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...
Their presence strokes
and soothes the tempest in my mind
and their love can heal the wounds
that I have wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall
- well, I know I shall be caught,
while the angels live.

How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?

But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes
of gloom
and Death's Head throws his cloak into
the corner of my room
and I am doomed...
But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters
of my youth
and solemn, waiting Old Man
in the gables of the roof:
he tells me truth...

And I too, live inside me and very often
don't know who I am:
I know I'm not a hero, but
I hope that I'll not die.
I'm just a man, and killers, angels,
are all me:
Dictator, saviour, refugee in war and peace
as long as Man lives...

I'm just a man, and killers, angels,
are all me:
Dictator, saviour, refugee

Hopefully, you won't leave it at this, because this has always been a kind of fantasy of mine. I'd like to hear your reasoning behind your post. How have you come to the conclusion that its all in my head? Before you post your reply, and I don't think you will, I'll share something with you. You, and people like you are the only proof that any of the words in your second post are true. If the world were only made up of people like you then it would be easy to believe that life is the hallow, sickening agony that your song describes. So you've been able to scrape enough wit to come to that conclusion and now you should take the second step. The more people like you stop being so hopelessly shallow and full of themselves the less chaotic and desperate life will seem for everyone involved. Yes, clever girl, life seems illusory and bogus. It doesn't have to be that way, and we don't have to wait another generation for things to change. They can change right now. You start. Life isn't a work of art that we stand back and admire, or search for meaning. Life is an action like walking to the store. The meaning of life comes from what you do while you're walking. I know it sounds like another of my desperate delusions, but its far from an original thought, although one that you don't seem to have come across yet. You're welcome.

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Stupid Arrogance

If you're new here and even if your not I need to make one thing clear; I have never told anyone anywhere in any manner, or form that I have schizophrenia or any other mental illness. Anyone who says anything otherwise is lying.

You know the problem with my stalkers? They're always on the same trip. No matter what happens its all my fault. They drug the food, and I can tell so I don't eat it. Then I'm as ass for wasting food. They drug the butter and cooking oil, and spices, and I'm an ass for not cooking for myself. I'm an ass for not believing their lies. I'm weak for needing contact with other people. I'm weak because their insults make me angry. I'm insecure because their lies make me nervous. I'm stupid because I can't tell they care in spite of the lies and obvious pain and profound physical discomfort I feel on a daily basis. To them any objection I make to the death threats or insults is just pure arrogance, and they never ever stop laughing. They always want to say everything just short of "I know everything you do on your computer, and have a camera in your room," I don't really have to guess about a lot of things because they're really not very subtle. Its clear that they think I'm a habitual murderer, and rapist. What I don't get is how I can be accused and punished for a crime, without a trial, or even being told about it. Its clear that they think I'm schizophrenic. What I don't get is how you can label someone as a schizophrenic and treat them against their will, without ever telling them about it.

Who are these people? What could have possibly happened in their clearly limited, sheltered little lives to lead them to expect that from me? And why are they so amused with the fact that I clearly expect them to stop. Not only do I expect them to stop, but I expect a full explanation, and I'm never going to settle for anything less. So you can exploit my isolation for all its worth, but I'm telling you now, no matter what the consequences this isn't going to rest until I know the crimes I'm accused of and am completely exonerated, and someone is held accountable for the years of my life wasted in this, and the torture I've endured.

So yeah, I have totally fallen for this whole "I love you, Al" game. Its what I need to hear and there are some really good liars out there. Thank god your fucking uncontrollable, ignorant pig laughter always tips me off. You think I'm not beating your fat ass because I'm scared of you, but there are other reasons. One of them is that my stalkers call you their cum faced whore behind your back, so I think they're fooling you a lot more than they're fooling me. Its possible that you actually like being their cum faced whore, in which case that's just another reason not to beat your fat ass. My reasons for not beating your fat ass are a lot better than your reasons for drugging me and playing the inside man to this bullshit, but I know that you can't tell the difference, and that's another good reason. I have a lot, but I am not afraid of you. One of us is definitely stupid and arrogant, but I don't think its me. You've probably never even seen this blog. I bet you count on them to tell you everything. Smart.

Hangover Nine

I am forgetting about you at least twice a day
I am falling face down into a bloody stoop
And I?m seeing ghost in every dead bottle
And I?m wasting time like Don Knots
I am emptier than yesterdays raincoats
I am crushing grapes, and midwives, and rent-a-cars
I am burning Cubans with the spooky Presidents
And I am the shit that you call understanding

And yes I?ll have another one
I?ll have another one
Yes, I?ll have another one
I?ll have another one
Yes, I?ll have another one
I?ll have another one
You want some more?

And I have been saved if you don?t count last night.
And I am better than you will ever be so get used to it
And I?m hanging up now, because you bore me

And yes, I?ll have another one
I?ll have another one
Yes, I?ll have another one
Hell yes, another one
Yes, I?ll have another one
I?ll have another one
You want some more?

Oh my God

And where are my keys?
And where are my keys?
And where are my keys?
And where are my keys?
And where are my keys?
Has anybody seen my keys?

Oh my God
I?ll never do this again
You want some more?

The other day I posted a wallpaper form the Chocolate Genius Inc. website. If you don't know what Chocolate Genius is, you should. Last night somone asked me about music and I started to Google some Chocolate Genius lyrics for them, only to find that there are none on the internet. That seems really odd for the internet. It might be because Chocolate Genius doesn't want his song lyrics online. If that's the reason he's gonna be contacting me soon. I'll probably be posting more. If you already know about Chocolate Genius, your welcome in advance.

Here's what the judge thinks. Thats what we pay them for, to judge.

Former top judge says US risks edging near to dictatorship

· Sandra Day O'Connor warns of rightwing attacks
· Lawyers 'must speak up' to protect judiciary

Julian Borger in Washington
Monday March 13, 2006

Guardian

Sandra Day O'Connor, a Republican-appointed judge who retired last month after 24 years on the supreme court, has said the US is in danger of edging towards dictatorship if the party's rightwingers continue to attack the judiciary.

In a strongly worded speech at Georgetown University, reported by National Public Radio and the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, Ms O'Connor took aim at Republican leaders whose repeated denunciations of the courts for alleged liberal bias could, she said, be contributing to a climate of violence against judges.

Ms O'Connor, nominated by Ronald Reagan as the first woman supreme court justice, declared: "We must be ever-vigilant against those who would strong-arm the judiciary."

She pointed to autocracies in the developing world and former Communist countries as lessons on where interference with the judiciary might lead. "It takes a lot of degeneration before a country falls into dictatorship, but we should avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings."

In her address to an audience of corporate lawyers on Thursday, Ms O'Connor singled out a warning to the judiciary issued last year by Tom DeLay, the former Republican leader in the House of Representatives, over a court ruling in a controversial "right to die" case.

After the decision last March that ordered a brain-dead woman in Florida, Terri Schiavo, removed from life support, Mr DeLay said: "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behaviour."

Mr DeLay later called for the impeachment of judges involved in the Schiavo case, and called for more scrutiny of "an arrogant, out-of-control, unaccountable judiciary that thumbed their nose at Congress and the president".

Such threats, Ms O'Connor said, "pose a direct threat to our constitutional freedom", and she told the lawyers in her audience: "I want you to tune your ears to these attacks ... You have an obligation to speak up.

"Statutes and constitutions do not protect judicial independence - people do," the retired supreme court justice said.

She noted death threats against judges were on the rise and added that the situation was not helped by a senior senator's suggestion that there might be a connection between the violence against judges and the decisions they make.

The senator she was referring to was John Cornyn, a Bush loyalist from Texas, who made his remarks last April, soon after a judge was shot dead in an Atlanta courtroom and the family of a federal judge was murdered in Illinois [and here].

Senator Cornyn said: "I don't know if there is a cause and effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country ... And I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters, on some occasions, where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in violence."

Although appointed by a Republican, Ms O'Connor voted with the supreme court's liberals on some divisive issues, including abortion, making her a frequent target for criticism from the right. After announcing that she intended to retire last year at the age of 75, she was replaced in February this year by Samuel Alito, who is generally regarded as being more consistently conservative.

In her speech, Ms O'Connor said that if the courts did not occasionally make politicians mad they would not be doing their jobs, and their effectiveness "is premised on the notion that we won't be subject to retaliation for our judicial acts".

What am I doing? I'm reading other peoples blogs and blogging things I find interesting.. For those of you who know I've been reading your blog, I usually comment when I have something to say. Me, the day I commented on your blog was the first time I ever saw it. Sorry, I'm not your lurker. I have been lurking since then though, so that's something :).

I haven't been blogging much because I don't have much more to say. As I've told several people who've instant messaged me, after you've used so many words to talk about a subject you start to wonder what's the point. The general impression seems to be that its possible that I'm mistaken, and I might only have food poisoning. There is no comment about the stalkers online and off, so I have to assume that people think I'm delusional. The only thing writing about it has accomplished is giving my stalkers a good laugh and some pointers on how to tell better lies. Offline it has been suggested that perhaps I have diabetes, and very directly indirectly implied that I have a tendancey toward exaggeration. So here I am writing about why I'm not writing about it.

Ok the subject is Fascism. This is a great list. Fascism always looks the same. What do you think?

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.He asks one of his new students to stand and?..

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
Student is silent.

Prof: You can?t answer, can you? Let?s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From?God?

Prof: That?s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
Student does not answer.

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don?t they?
Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
Student has no answer.

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son?Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, and smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I?m afraid I haven?t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
The lecture theater becomes very quiet with this turn of events.
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don?t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can?t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You?re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light?. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can?t even explain a thought.It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
The class is in uproar.

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor?s brain?
The class! breaks out into laughter.

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor?s brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.

Prof: I guess you?ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Now guess who the student is ?

True Friendship*

Are you tired of all those sissy-ass "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks to true friendship:

1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
   
2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
   
3. When you smile - I will know you finally got laid
4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
6. When you are confused - I will use little words.
7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath...I pledge it till the end. "Why?" you may ask, because you are my friend.

*Stolen from a 360 blog. When I was a kid all of these things used to be absurd jokes. Now they're so funny because they're so true.

None of These Jokes is Funny

YOU GOTTA LOVE CHICAGO WOMEN!!*

A woman from Chicago and another from the East coast were seated side-by-side on an airplane. The woman from Chicago, being friendly and all, said:

"So, where are you from?"

The East coast woman said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence."

The woman from Chicago sat quietly for a few moments and then replied: "So, where are you from, bitch?"

Addition and Deduction

Maybe I changed the settings on my blog. I decided to do some reading and found the place to put the "Edit HTML" option back, and low and behold it worked. Good thing because I'm looking for things that work today. Its a good thing I didn't let on how frustrated I was getting.

I've been surfing blogs in search of some fresh reading matter. Things on this side of the monitor are getting more and more bizarre, so I need more distraction, and I lost some good ones this week. I found a few things of interest. You'll have to remember I'm fairly new to the blog world as a reader and writer. It takes a lot of time to find things worth reading in blogs. I admit it, I'm picky, but its not really in a snobbish sort of way. Just like the first rule of Journalism, if you don't grab my attention right away I'm probably not going to go rooting around through your blog looking for something interesting.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about Bored Housewife I like reading her blog. She actually got me started on the search for blogs that I might like to visit more than once. She has a feature called "Braless Tuesdays" which is kind of funny and innocent, but definitely Braless so its not false advertising at all. I came across referer.org on her site. I might have heard of it before, but I can't recall, but today I'm adding their service to the blog. If you don't know what it is feel free to click the link, it won't take you anywhere that can hurt your computer or tell either of us anything about each other that we don't already know. I used to work with a woman who was really into the web, and web design. She used to say that adding counters and services like referer.org to a site or blog like mine only made it look more pathetic. She was beautiful, talented, intelligent, and as shallow as a dime. Catherine, I'm adding this for you *wink.

I guess I'm also updating the template today. I've mentioned a lot of blogs that I've never added to my links list. I'm particularly concerned about A few drops of rain... . A great poet, and writer, but his last few poems seemed to be saying he was terribly depressed and would commit suicide on February 28th. Since his profile says he lives in India, I'm not sure what to do about that, but mentioning it here might help.

If you're into books Bibliolitry is a very charming blog by a school teacher. Its basically book reviews. She's also a member of the same webring my Geocities is on, which was supposed to bring lots of traffic to my web pages but has failed to do so. Another great reason to link to her.

Green Chameleon: I don't know that I "believe in" those test, but I do find that some are a lot more accurate than others, kind of like horoscopes. I prefer Blogger over Yahoo too.

Testing with a Love Test

OK lets try something.

Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy: Your propensity for monogamy is medium. In general, you prefer to have only one love interest. But it's hard for you to stay devoted for too long! There's too much eye candy to keep you from wandering. Experience Level: Your experience level is high. You've loved, lost, and loved again. You have had a wide range of love experiences. And when the real thing comes along, you know it! Dominance: Your dominance is medium. You tend to be the one with more power. You aren't a total control freak in relationships.. But of course you don't mind getting you way! Cynicism: Your cynicism is low. You are an eternal optimist when it comes to love and romance. No matter how many times you've been hurt - you're never bitter. You believe in one true love, your perfect soulmate. And if you haven't found true love yet, you know you will soon. Independence: Your independence is low. This doesn't mean you're dependent in relationships.. It does mean that you don't have any problem sharing your life. In your opinion, the best part of being in love is being together.

The Five Variable Love Test

Hmmmmmm it looks like Blogger has just changed their format. You can post HTML in your blogs if you can figure out how. This is only my second try so I still have to pretend that I'm not really frustrated and angry. I hate that.

I know its corny, but think of the alternative ;) 

Well.....

Blogger seems to have removed the ability to insert HTML into your post.

That's pretty much a drag. I'll probably find another blog spot now. I hope someone from Blogger reads this.

That's gonna leave a mark

Crazy Love, Vol. II Lyrics

Fat Charlie the Archangel
Sloped into the room
He said I have no opinion about this
And I have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, boys
And I don't seem to be happy about that
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love

She says she knows about jokes
This time the joke is on me
Well, I have no opinion about that
And I have no opinion about me

Somebody could walk into this room
And say your life is on fire
It's all over the evening news
All about the fire in your life
On the evening news

I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love

Fat Charlie the Archangel
Files for divorce
He says well this will eat up a year of my life
And then there's all that weight to be lost
She says the joke is on me
I say the joke is on her
I said I have no opinion about that
Well, we'll just have to wait and confer

I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
