Piece of mind

I want to build on this piece of ground I found that lies somewhere between the profound and the profane

Being Herd

Shhh Be very, very quiet in here and remember--- Pushing the ENTER key is the loudest noise you can possibly make.

I'm trying to do for Social Media what Tom Waits did for Optometry and Lawn Mowers.

After years of ball busting toil , I think I have succeeded. It is going to be a good 2019 after all.

Since taking probiotics, the bathroom has become a sensory deprivation chamber where I have become a disciple of the teachings of late, great G.I. Gurdjieff.

Any bathroom will do. Could be your bathroom, could be my bathroom.

I don't know.

Like Magic

I've worked my ass off
I've thought my ass off.
I've practiced my ass off.
I've drove my ass off.
         All for nothing ?....but wait. 
I need suspenders because I have NO ASS. Be very careful with your words and actions. You will get what you strive for.

A war is over before the fighting

Sabers rattle loudly but how many can hear? It's much like a dog whistle, the early onslaught...   it happens on so many seemingly imperceivable fronts, and it walks slowly to your gates and just strolls in. Blood is spilled eventually. One side screams "it is war". Another side screams "it is change". But all see the same monster too late.

Future is so bright I gotta wear hades

In a few years we will have affordable home DNA splicing and home 3D printers. I asked myself what I would build first and only one thing came to mind. I am going to make a car with chameleon Venus flytraps built in on the hood and around the windshield to keep the bugs off. You wont be able to see them but know they are there.    Of course, we will still have air -in- the -tires technology cause the Jetsons flying car is too farfetched.
