All the Right Angles In All the Wrong Turns

Life so shamelessly angers me...because everyone around does not seem to comprehend it

It's Tuesday morning on my calander and my clock reads roughly a quarter to eleven.  Nothing to do, nothing to say...no place to go and no person to see. Like a blind bat I play fiddle with words, knitting them together to bring a thought before your eyes....and it is your eyes that I am coming to see...for it's the bridge to your mind...an endless mind of eternal hope and doubt.  Where would we be if it weren't for our dreams? For...there is where...you will find the purest of aspirations brimming with a naive confidence and an undivided ambition for the ultimate degree of successful expectation....all for this life's transient yet luxurious desires...Vibrant with fight, angrier than any rooster and more violent than a violin...
We
as in you and I
As Well As
Everyone We have come to know
Fall victim to this "paradox" of taking everything you can and destroying whatever you can't have
All in the name of a better, safer tomorrow...

How self centered of us

Humans are the epitome of a virus
Spreading an uncontrollable greed to all reaches of humanity
Creating Gods only to disbelief in their existance...
This arrogant greed will swallow this world whole in a deluge of distinguished entitlement....
After All
man is the center of this world
At least according to him, her and everyone else...

The Human Condition
Our flesh is our prison
Our knowledge creates our principles, morals and ideals
and
Our prejudice sets our limits
...
Our arrogance blinds us
yet our hunger drives us
and our thirst WILL drown us
If there's a God...we can all use the help
But you can't help those that don't want to be helped...


I wish, with all my heart that I can live long enough to see the change that I am hoping for

Monday Monday

It's only Monday...and I feel as if I can barely recall this past weekend...
As Well As, a long ways away from this upcoming event filled weekend.
But hey, at least I have The Mermaid Parade on Saturday in Coney Island and the Pirate Festival in West Sayville...plus the Strawberry Festival out in Mattituck this entire weekend.
If I make it out of here, I will make it to there.
See Ya

roots grow to where there is water

In general terms, Samskara is the ancient Indian philosophy of how our (past and current) experiences root themselves deeply within us and subsequently create the basis of the subconscious mind to lay the ground work for our expectations, behaviors, emotions and memories.
This "imprint", in essence, manifastates itself anywhere from our instincts, impulses, impressions, disposition...all the way to our own self worth.
Hence, how this value system impacts our created memories...and in turn define our sense of happiness or suffering...and in my case, my lack of contentness with how Things Are.
Some people might even call that Karma...
and Karma is what Karma was...and What Karma will be...
(quick aside, Karma is the belief that our past actions affect our fate)

Interesting study that I came across.
The behavior/mood of approximately 250 senoirs living in an assisted facility.
Prior to the start of the study, a baseline test determined depression levels of the seniors living at the facility.
A high volume of them were moderately depressed, and understandably so.
Then a campaign was introduced to them...a Hugging Campaign.
That's right, Hugs...
The Theory was that if they had more physical contact, it would enhance their mood.
So...to kick off the festivities there was a flash mob to the song Macarena

With the Entire staff of the assisted living facility.
Hug Me buttons were given out.
There were contest prizes award to high volume huggers.
Before you knew it, the grumpy old guys in their walkers were asking for hugs....
The seniors went as far as to create their own flash mob.
Net result: seemingly all borderline depressed seniors tested the second time around in the happy to be here range.
The Human Touch
The Human Experience
Samskara

You can decide for yourself.

born more of light than heat

It was A most pleasant surprise to be Resolute in my own true way
With no confusion and without any outside interference
I am in the midst of converging thought with action
On this beautiful road where desire meets heartbreak
against the headwinds of accepted wisdom and logic
come truths riddled with limitations and disappointments

My Wealth
is rooted somewhere between
My Heart
and
My Mind

in the wake of this difficult birth
unfolds a wonderous life
Without question
Yours and Yours to decide
Amongst a savage society that masquerades with class, order and sophistication
The only thing sophisticated I can witness is the machinery constructed to facilitate our own demise
Our own cruelity comes with great creativity
A creativity that instinctually alienates anything foreign to our reflection
Principles fostered by greed, sloth, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and Pride
Hate is our mental byproduct
Anger is our escalulated motivator
Destruction is our net result
Burning our forest when we can't see the blue in our sky....only to char the fruits that nourish our being
and sheer our flesh with the naked sun
Destruction, unfortunately is our main primal reflex that has buried our past beneath acres of ash

How can humanity lift from this arrogance and ignorance?
And evolve in a positive direction
Where meaning has substance
and
We can all value each other
Love needs to be our highest value
understanding and accepting are the tools in achieving the goal
of Global Unity

Otherwise in a thousand years, no one will know that we ever existed....

Black Widow Baby


"Black Widow"

(feat. Rita Ora)


[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby


[Iggy Azalea:]

This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
We went from nothing to something, liking to loving
It was us against the world and now we just fucking
It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
Might, might be me believing what you say that you never mean
Like it'll last forever but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing


[Pre-Hook — Rita Ora:]

You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)


[Hook — Rita Ora:]

I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what show 'em what)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

Black, black widow, baby


[Iggy Azalea:]

I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
You've never met nobody
That'll do you how I do ya
That will bring you to your knees
Praise Jesus hallelujah
I'm-a make you beg for it, plead for it
Till you feel like you breathe for it
Till you do any and everything for it
I want you to fiend for it
Wake up and dream for it
Till it's got you gasping for air
And you lean for it
'Till they have a CAT scan and check on your mind
And it's nothing but me, on it (on it, on it, on it)
Now it's me-time believe that
If it's yours when you want it
I wouldn't promise I need that
Till I'm everywhere that you be at
I can't fall back go quick

Cause this here a fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit


[Pre-Hook — Rita Ora:]

You used to be thirsty for me (Right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)


[Hook — Rita Ora:]

I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what show 'em what)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

Bl-bl-bla-black widow, baby

Humble and Kind

Look at you looking forward to snacking and schmoozing with plates and painters...no tables, completely openly delicious indeed!
Yum has two ems...one for you and the other for me.
Yummy Yumm Yumm 
Ho Humm
Let's have some
Dim Sum

I saw a psychic medium (actually there were two, as in sisters) this past Sunday...
And Gosh darn it
I still think that they are hokey pokey
(Especially when they turn themselves around)
That's what it's all about

The things that Psychics start with remind me of inkblots
And it's within our human nature to structure, organize and place in order things that we see and hear.
Once that starts, they hone in with specifics that apply to the situation
Before you know it, there is a rehash of an old story
My favorite disclaimer that they had was
"No stealing other people's dead relatives"
Cause if you do, you'll start a lot of trouble with other people...whether you can see them or not.
Most times I see things that others can't hear
and I often can't hear what other people say anyways
So...either way, something is out of sync but intact and out of whack!
Wha Ba Boom
Bada Bing
Ta Ta!!
It's supernatural magic at its most Glorious showing
But hey
Is for farmers and horses
We can't all have our beer and nuts at the ball game
i really enjoy our morning talks on Thursday mornings
Well, considering that it's almost Friday
and Who doesn't like Friday's?
The love for Friday's inspired a restaurant chain
and that's where you can have your beer and nuts while watching the game
Any Game
But that doesn't include game on the menu
Or does it?
Geez, I really don't like eating out in restaurants that use microwaves 
Ocean is the only place with waves that I like
And radios are the only things with waves that I use
Kinda Sorta somewhat almost
But hey...farmers and horses aside
I am still allowed the privilege of ignorance
It's the only defense mechanism that I have for this world's gutless viscousness and abundant stupidity
Ex Why Z marks my spot
Thanks god for giving me the peace of mind
To play my tic tac toe in solitude

Meet Fellow Blogger Jeff Roberts

He's write in righting of how we are at the mercy of corporations...and anything opposed to them often becomes an endangered species.  We are our own victims in this world, chasing ideas imbedded in our minds through what we see (which is how we get influenced).  I have stated how this world needs to find and press the reset button...because it's well out of whack.

Think for yourself
and
Think beyond your self
