The Illusion of Allusion and Vice Versa, DoubleSpake

 The rules of Court Jester-ship are simple. 

If you speak too much to certain truths, 

you have to then speak gibberish and make childish remarks 

to ensure you don't develop too much credibility, and 

draw the ire of The King.

Current State of Mind

 Voodoo dolls. 

There must be several in operation at once. 

Understood. 

I had it coming. 

Onion is my favorite food group. Part 1

 Woke up today with waaaayyyy too much energy.

Restless, talkative me is not my best me. 

Took years of bad experiences to catch on to that.

This could easily turn into a stream of consciousness post. 

We could discuss the rampant Hermeticism that goes on the world. 

It hides under the terms ACCEPTED WISDOM, and SOCIAL ENGINEERING.  

If enough people believe something is true, it becomes "true".

You are bombarded by it everywhere.

 Radio, TV, Movies, Computer screens, Billboards, newspapers, magazines, books, classrooms, etc...then it becomes gossip, and circulates until it is culturally accepted as fact. 

Many different agendas manipulate science, education, politics,religion, music and entertainment so much, I doubt there is any original thought out there. We only know what was planted in our heads. Our parents only knew what was planted in theirs. Everyone thinks they are right, and the other guy is wrong. 

I propose we are all wrong, by design. 

I would call this the end of the discussion, but I think I missed the point. 

Some would call this use of media and such as lobbying to get what you want by changing laws by changing peoples minds. 

It's so much more than that.

To be continued on the next episode of Conspiracy Theatre. 

Update to Yesterday

 Decisions, decisions.

Things are slightly better, timewise, than I expected -but not what many would want to hear. 

I have an order of procedures that need to be done, just to get to what needs done, which isn't  a cakewalk or guarantee of any kind.

None of these things are things I want to do. 

Like I said.   Decisions.

Yesterday...

 I briefly posted an update on my activity that turned into a very human, very bitter mess. 

Let me try this again. 

Currently, we are watching Big Trouble in Little China and eating what I hope isn't my last steak- with onions, portobellos, asparagus and potato. Excellent meal, with my wife, on a breezy mid 70 Saturday afternoon with the windows open and the fan on.  

Been a long travel week of 4 doctor appointments. 

Heart surgeon Tuesday to get his opinion on my odds of surviving the surgery.  Then I have my decisions.

And this is why I took most of the month off blogging and social media.

I love John Carpenter movies. 

An update for some. Drama for others. Just facts, to me. I quit being scared of dying a looong time ago. 

People often confuse what I say, with what they think about me. 

Saw some things

Did some things

Failed often 

Succeeded

 now and then

Chased emotion

when I was young

Twas hell Twas fun

but you keep going back 

to START again

Chased knowledge 

down a hole

where everything made sense

everyone was right

Makes me wonder

If I paid my toll

Do I have to walk towards that light

isn't that just START again

What is it I am trying to say

Maybe the only way to win

is to not play

to just walk away

Maps 

that are puzzles

are simply traps
