It’ll Make You Slap Somebody…
now it needs a loud, annoying trance tune to go with it.
someday I might even figure out why I took the time…
right-click and click on “Play” to make it stop.
a random mammal
this little guy fell from a tree in our backyard, we brought him in thinking maybe he got hurt in the fall.
just sitting there:
I have her attention:
and now she’s screaming/growling at me (cute as hell, but I’m sure it’s very intimidating to other tiny mammals):
she’s starting sh*t with something 225 (rough guess) times her mass, I think she’ll be just fine.
after several calls a “qualified someone” was found and we left to deliver the animal, my daughter holding the cage.
and delivered her safe and sound. apparently there is at least one other squirrel in the “qualified someone”’s care, so she won’t be lonely.
I like happy endings.
Pagans…
The Pagan Hierarchy, version 5…
“Wiccans who Self-Initiated after Watching The Craft” only ever so slightly below “Crystal Healers”, but “Ayn Randroids” just above “Drunks” and “Stoners”.
I love it.

historical ignorance
I was watching family guy (I think) and dozed off, and when I woke up there was a stand up comedy show on. dave chappel I think, but one of his rants went on about george washington “writing the constitution”, so there’s me at some random time in the morning yelling at the tv about how madison wrote the constitution, and jefferson wrote the declaration of independance.
I hope nobody heard that.
flawed
we seemed to have been born knowing the dark underworld,
the slow moving current with vicious riptides and random whirlpools.
we know and see the grunting, seeking, pleading desperation of most who don’t, won’t, can’t see it in themselves.
but it’s not within us, never within us, cover that thought right up. stuff it into a canvas bag with a brick and let it sink.
standing still amid the flurry of activity, the currents of humanity, the unfocused river, wondering how in the hell someone can muster that level of frantic aimless energy when it’s all we can do to simply summon the will to create a reason to move.
yes, ms. shamaya, perfectly flawed…
Johnny Depp -> Kevin Bacon
Johnny Depp -> Kevin Bacon
Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeny Todd) ->
Helena Bonham Carter, Kenneth Branagh (Theory of Flight) ->
Kenneth Branagh, Denzel Washington (Much Ado About Nothing) ->
Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie (The Bone Collector) ->
Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) ->
Brad Pitt, Kevin Bacon (Sleepers)
now was that ever a waste of 15 or so minutes on imdb.com or what?
“we”
the “we” of the bitter and broken,
the “we” that know the universe to be a cold and empty place.
the “we” that know that the only hope and love and compassion and joy that will ever exist is that which we make and share.
the way “we” must think in order to survive is a baby step in the direction that all of humanity must learn to think in order to progress.
The Ballad Of The Monkeys
Start with a large cage.
In the cage, put a large staircase. At the top of the staircase, hang a banana on a string.
Now put five monkeys in the cage.
Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkey with high-volume cold water from a fire hose, but be careful to not spray the monkey on the staircase.
Replace the banana.
After a while, another monkey will make an attempt to climb the stairs with the same result, all the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.
Turn off the water and put away the hose.
Now if any monkey tries to climb the staircase, the others will make every attempt to prevent it, even though no water sprays them, they anticipate it.
Now, remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new ape sees the banana and begins to climb the staircase. To his horror, all of the other monkey beat the crap out of it. After a very few such attempts, it will know that if it tries to climb the staircase, it will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original monkeys and replace it with a new one.
The process repeats, the newcomer goes to the staircase and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm, it is no longer unsure of the expected behavior.
Again, replace a third original monkey with a new one. The process repeats.
Remember, two of the four monkeys that are beating the shit out of it have no idea why they are not permitted to climb the staircase or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkey, all the apes which have been sprayed with the hose have been replaced, nevertheless, no monkey will ever approach the stairs.
And why is this so?
“Because that’s the way it’s always been around here.”
