i'm not pushin' 'tics, just bouncin' off the buzz
he's doing
nothing
but hurting
every
thing
he
wants to help
he's drawing
a dividing
line
that
in
MOST
cases
has
all
ready
been
erased.
moron.
one with Dora: ode to Cheerwine
Alan Watts

"You cannot force yourself into this frame of mind any more than you can smooth disturbed water with your hand. But let's say that our starting point is that we forget what we know, or think we know. And, that we suspend judgment about practically everything, returning to what we were when we were babies - before we learned the names or the language. In such a state although we have extremely sensitive bodies and very alive senses, we have no means of making an intellectual or verbal commentary on what is going on."
Kierkegaard and i have a shared humor

he claimed that he was an author to achieve fame YET he published his works pseudonymously. nice. he thought that serious work should stand on its own, without deriving any arbitrary force from the presumed authority of its creator. he published pseudonymously while making flighty public appearances.
thank you philosophy pages.
thank you philosophy pages.
time in a bottle... j/k
...and, i too can argue that time is a perception. and, the only reason we progress is because we start where we left off the night before we slept...
age and numbers

age and numbers
when i was 25 years old, my mother was 50 years old. she was exactly twice my age. 25 x 2 = 50. i am 26 now and she is 51. 26 x 2 = 52. when i am 50, she will be 75. she went from being twice my age to only being 1 1/2 times my age.
our idea of time is violated. numbers work, but our ideas attached to them contain fallacies.
sure, she was 25 when she had me, so you add 25 years to my age to always find her age. i'm talking about ratios here. why are ratios not a constant? why does this only occur when i become the age she was when she had me?

stream of consciousness turned poem
Music is manifestation
for your every sensation
to silently release
It's an ultimate relaxation
the pace has no option
but to cease
Someone else -
a stranger
understands
with No Commands
just singing to your pains
For your pains
your joys;
your everything.
With no more complications
you exhale.
Peace.
being alone
with my soul
It lets me be
anything
everything
nothing.
The music of my soul
sings
screams
whispers
Relax --------
Exhale -------
Inhale---------
The door opens and closes
it swings back and forth
RELAX!
Please
don't turn that bottle up
just---
just listen
talk to me
Be who you're supposed to be
Don't you here my cries?
my plea?
I can't close my eyes
anymore
what is all this for?
what is your life for?
Please
make some sense
just a little sense
You look really familiar
but I don't know you
I should know you
but I have no idea
You think you know me
but you know NOTHING
There's the singing
or, is it screaming?
I don't know
I can't tell
Oh please -sing
sing for my soul
sing for your soul
Just --- sing.
poem
Soap Scum begs the question
Soap Scum begs the question...
mood: inquisitive Why does soap have scum?I know this is not the best way to kick off a philosophical discussion, but, what the heck? It is Friday. Seriously, think about it. Why does soap have scum? I guess the real question here is: How did we, as a civilized society, become convinced that it is absolutely necessary (to be civilized) to bathe ourselves ritually with a substance whose ingredients separately will burn a hole in anything that is not a cast iron cauldron, ingredients from the fats of animals (I know you have seen Fight Club), and when combined, ingredients that leave SCUM - the very thing we are washing off?
