I woke up this morning at 3:30 am and couldn't get back to sleep. I remember when that was how 'woke' was used in a sentence. A little metaphorically, you could say "well that woke me up to such and such...", but it's still in the same grammatical position in the sentence. The first time I heard the term "woke" in its new grammatical usage it was around 10 or 15 years ago and I was ... Read the whole post

Her name was Marzipan Monkey Kitten. She was 17. She was a good kitty.

Apparently it began in a similar manner to Easter, that is, as The Church filling the need to create a holiday on top of the pre-existing "Pagan" holidays of the solar reality so the "Pagans" would stop celebrating the actual return of the days lengthening (in this case, whereas with Easter it was the equinox and fertility rites) in lieu of absolute bullshit. It really worked too... I love the ... Read the whole post

Chonq smelled her as we got out of the Bronco. He immediately began ignoring me and tracking her, then he disappeared into the forest at full speed. He can run about 40 mph through dense forest; apparently she could not, and he was on her in about 200ish yards. I'm even slower than she was, so I heard the commotion for about 5 minutes as I made my way over there through the dense growth, all of ... Read the whole post

Me: Oh shit, dude, put that joint out and eat it - we're getting pulled over. (my brother) Chris: Oh fuck, why? Me: Probably my expired tags. Chris: Damn... (eats half a hooter as I'm stopping) Cop: License, registration and proof of insurance please, sir. Me: (handing him my license) Officer, I'm not gonna lie to you; this piece of crap is unregistered and uninsured. Cop: (shining ... Read the whole post

It was Salmon spawning season, the end of November, and there were dark red Salmon fighting upstream and a red haired guy standing on the riverbank watching them in the red leaf carrying breeze stinking thick of dead Salmon. It’s me and I’m there to watch the Salmon spawn again and I don’t care how bad it smells – the smell is part of it – like the pain of a tattoo. I see thousands upon thousands ... Read the whole post

A tough act to follow: especially after a heart attack: a natural caretaker: government: they made peace with the Indians: it seems all wrong to me: yet each believes his own: a deliberately plain style of living: unmitigated mockery: new evidence has surfaced since then: but it's a secret: how about oil at $2.56 per barrel: the wrong group in society pleased: the superficial pretend ...

Now suppose the term: yet there's still no endearment: existence of past irregularities: no skewing can be produced: whatever else is in the cards, this ain't it: precisely what can be done: some statements entail entailments: drug addicts hang out with petty criminals: it took from them their freedom to choose company with care: most idiotic and lily white with blue eyes: the secret is ...

He seemed very earnest and sure about this assertion. 2) There is one spot in Las Vegas where you can look one direction to see the Eiffel Tower, and the other to see the Great Pyramid (oof! Take that, Big Globe lobby...) 3) Sarah Palin could see Russia from her back yard in Alaska ... Read the whole post

I'm a little under the weather So to speak. Caught a cold methinks... (Or is this Covfefe-19 The novel TrumpVirus again?) Clowns are for children, but Clowns are scary. The Pope is for scared children, but The Pope wears a clown hat. Sometimes clowns are fun. The Pope is never fun. So maybe the Pope is a boring clown, or A sick clown. Or maybe its just the cold and flu medicine ... Read the whole post

...back when I was called Sisyphus, I captured Death and put him in a cage. But for that goddamned rock and that goddamned hill....of course he had to be released. It was the only humane thing to do, giving back the gift of death (you're welcome, Prof. Derrida). (The deeper the water, the bigger the snakes.)

That's the post, the whole post, and nothing but the post on this CraigsList philosophy forum I just recently discovered. I responded thusly... "Darkness within darkness; the gateway to all understanding." ~Tao te Ching Professor Heidegger wrote and dwelled deeply upon, "Why is there an Essent?" Or more commonly asked as, Why is there something, instead of Nothing? I think the Tao's ... Read the whole post
