Whale as "Clean Milkman"

What's a saying or phrase that's never made sense to you?

"Watch out for that big pile of dog turds" is one that has never made sense to me, yet I hear it all the time.

I totally forgot about this blog.

I almost wrote "and it isn't because I have anything better to do than keep up with a blog" but I stopped. Who can say that one thing is a "better" thing to do than another? And I've probably had lots and lots to say, but what is the point of saying these things? Arranging words in some sort of order, either pleasing or not pleasing, does it matter? Is it better than not arranging them?

Lately in my free time I play chess and listen to Alan Watts cds. Before that I was playing San Andreas and listening to Alan Watts. Before that it was old episodes of This American Life and Fresh Air and Democracy Now! And an odd Noam Chomsky recording. But I moved on to Watts and I found this great 12 disc set that I can consume and consume to my heart's content.

I might write more about this later. But first I would have to figure out: What is the "I" that is going to write it? And then, of course: What is the "I" that needs to figure out what the "I" is. And so on and so on.

A snake that eats its own tail.

today i watched stardust memories. i think that might be my hands down all time favorite woody allen movie.

later, i caught the end of back to the future 3, and during that i got into a long phone conversation/argument with Keith Urey about whether doc could have been living in the old west for 8 months and then send a telegram to Marty and have it arrive only minutes after doc left the (then) present.

Urey says that however long doc has been gone (from Marty, i gather) then that's how long he would have been in the old west. so to him it doesn't make sense that the telegram said he had been gone for eight months.

i tried to reason with him that doc obviously could have wrote the telegram whenever he wanted, and then sent it via western union with instructions for it to arrive at any given point in history.

the conceit here is that it is possible to have given western union a message and have them hold on to it for almost 100 years and deliver it (on time) to a person that didn't even exist in the time period it was scheduled to be delivered in. (Marty was in the 50s, about to head back to the 80s, right?).

that and that time travel is possible.

we seriously talked about this for at least an hour.

One of my favorite things about having facial hair is eating something, like toast, with salty whipped butter.

All day long the smell of salty butter stays in the mustache part of the beard. A person could shove some of the hairs up into their nostrils, if they wanted to.

Read this: New Chronology.

I just don't feel like writing about it. Besides the wiki page has plenty of info.  I just think people should check it out. I'd have to read more to know if it's something I could really get behind, but hey, why not? Like Micheal Rooker said in JFK "How do you know who yo daddy is? Cuz yo momma told you so." (I'm paraphrasing of course.)

Where can I get a bat cat ?

What song or lyrics are stuck in your head at the moment?  What album is it from?

Baby
don't understand why we can't just hold on
to each other's hands
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear

I need you so.

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
learn to live so free.
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in.
Take these broken wings -

Baby
I think tonight we can take
what was wrong and make it right.
Baby
it's all I know
that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
need you so.
So take these broken wings . . .

Let us in - let us in -
Baby
it's all I know

That you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole

Yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah!
So take these broken wings . . .
Take these broken wings . .

I'm sure my brother remembers that time at the beach. There was that youth group staying next to our parents. And after they left, in the trash we found the packaging for some bible hero armor stuff. Plastic shields and swords, presumably for hacking apart the heathens?

I tried looking for in on the web and found this: http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/bible_themes_armorofgod.html Don't try right clicking anywhere, the armor of god is protecting those jpegs!

I looked and looked for the same stuff that was in the packaging we saw without much success. I did find this however: http://peggiesplace.gospelcom.net/halloween.htm

I like this little bit:

Simple, innocent "trick-or-treat" days are gone forever from many neighborhoods. What was once a fun-loving, family-participating event has turned into dark occultic activities opposite from the Light-giving God we serve. So, as a Christian, how do you respond? Turn on the lights? Turn off the lights? What to DO??

If anything, wouldn't you say that all these superstitions are getting more and more watered-down every day? I mean, isn't it getting less and less occult? What, kids aren't in it for the candy anymore? They've actually started conjuring demons?

Also, I tried to look up "occultic" and I don't think it's a word.

What books are on your nightstand?

Don't you mean "what books are next to your toilet"?

Currently, the community library consists of:

P. J. O'Rourke "Give War a Chance", Anton Levay "The Satanic Bible",  Paul Bowles "A Hundred Camels in the Courtyard",  two back issues of Playboy, two back issues of Wired, and up until recently, come weird graphic novel called "The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln" or something like that.
