“What whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for”
~Irish Proverb
 
“Children ask better questions than adults. "May I have a cookie?" "Why is the sky blue?" and "What does a cow say?" are far more likely to elicit a cheerful response than "Where's your manuscript?" Why haven't you called?" and "Who's your lawyer?"” ~Fran Lebowitz |

Merry Christmas Everyone |

My dream was vivid last night. She gave me a book, I read it or tried to read it so, I wanted to take with me, and she scolded me for wanting to take it with me, “ it cannot be that way, I’ll get in trouble for giving it to you, stop being selfish ”.
"Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin" ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams
One, cannot read in a dream, this is why I cannot remember what I was reading in that book, let alone trying to read; this is why I wanted to take it with me, to wide-awake land, so I can read it. How can one bring a dream book from dreamland to awake land? You cannot, so you just have to take what little you remember of it and what you learned from it with you.
"It's surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time" ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams
I woke up to the aroma of pernil, (roasted pig). There’s a bird next to the pig, Warner brothers meets Sesame Street, and I’m going to eat-em later. I’m going to the movies, cause I heard that’s what some people do on Christmas day, they go to the movies. After the movies Ill check out Jae’s cookies down town. 12/25/08 5:55pm. |

In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' ~Dave Barry

12/25/08 1:46am : The aroma of freshly baked pumpkin pies, lingered for hours in the air of my home. My aunt came over to borrow my oven and bake three, not one not two but three pumpkin pies for her holiday at home, there was something wrong with her oven at home I guess, I didnt ask, so she used mine, and its okay, still, not leaving at least one pie behind kind of made me sad.
Im not complaining about not getting the pie, Im always eating sweets, ether Im offered or bakers like Gina is stuffing something in my mouth even before I know what it is, still, I'm getting ready for bed, and the aroma of pumpkin pie crust reaches the back of my apartment like there gonna be a treat for me in the morning...so annoyed, so watering at the mouth, so knowing Im not going to eat freshly baked pumpkin pie for christmas morning; whatev...
|
Im not being that gloomy-doomy-holiday bluesy guy, the cliche that it is for some of us, but, I just want to mention, when my nephew said to me, at about 12:45 am this morning when it was silent thru out my house, when nothing was stirring, not even my drunken mouth, but-instead, watching adult swim and playing gears of war. "I wish this holiday would be over already", hearing that, coming from my nephew, even in my holiday drunken state, my emotional adrenaline kicked in and knocked my John Jameson Irish whiskey blood flow right the f@ck out of my system. I had to follow up after that and say things like, "Christmas is like this sometimes, its great one year, it's blah-blah the next". He seemed okay, hes pretty smart and open minded like his uncle; I'm lucky. Christmas 08 is okay, I've had worse, I've had better, but at least I've had. Im gonna eat rosted pork 2morrow, and hopefuly Jae made oatmeal cookies for her party-job-thingy Im going to, maybe.
Today though, on the eve, my mothers cooking was good, and I still got a bottle to my self and Im getting massive text Messages from all my peeps whom I love dearly, even some I only see once in a blue, so I'm not sad, I just am. Its rainning outside right now, no snow, and Im okay with that.
Have a merry rest of the year. 12/25/08 2:54am

"Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves" ~ Joseph P. Thompson |
|
|
Contrary to popular misconception, karma has nothing to do with punishment and reward. It exists as part of our holographic universe’s binary or dualistic operating system only to teach us responsibility for our creations—and all things we experience are our creations. ~
Sol Luckman |
... |
As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma. ~ Sri Guru Granth Sahib |
... |
| You must acknowledge and experience this part of the universe. Karma is intricate, too vast. You would, with your limited human senses, consider it too unfair. But you have tools to really, truly love. Loving the children is very important. But love everyone as you would love your children. ~ Kuan Yin |

"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours" ~ Wayne Dyer" |
|
I’m being taken for granted, I set myself up for it though, I was looking to get something, maybe; it’s a trade off, maybe, on some super-duper-sublevel, maybe. Frankenstein, has been the theme for the last few months of my life, what you create comes back to hunt you, we are what we have eaten, served, as we get older its get more of a reflection, digestion of that. I have been scared lately, not of me but for me. I have to be very careful with my choice of words and how not to relish in karma; ya-know, that, “I saw it coming but I didn’t warn you”, there is something irresponsible about it, about not warning the villain; no reward to help the bad guy, except, preventing burning in there fire in the end. |

I get drunk to escape, to deal with the stupidly and sadness that awaits me sometimes. I get drunk to keep me warm in the cold. A formula for character gets diluted with a big natural inheritance of liberation. Preprogramming gets washed out with a well developed sense of independence. I’m very lucky I was stirred with the right amalgamation, a little bit of him, her, them, and… a big influence from my hero. My impulse is to strike but my heart is to let things fall were they might. It sucks when the one who took your milk money back in grade school is now living with an iron lung. It sucks when you were a casualty to a victim and now your victim is a victim. I’m not a victim, I never was, thank the snow, the cold, and a cup of hot tea on those winter moments of nostalgia standing at your door. |
" The person whose mind is always free from attachment, who has subdued the mind and senses, and who is free from desires, attains the supreme perfection of freedom from Karma through renunciation" ~Bhagavad Gita |

HAPPY
|
|
|
Little child you were who desired to be nurtured, cared for, and loved. This child still resides within you as an adult.
Free spirit, pixie, and elf you have tamed and controlled, yet who resides within you.
Emotional and sensitive you whom you have channeled, controlled, and silenced and who is still living within you.
Creative, imaginative, and artistic you who has been molded, structured, and organized; who still resides in you and is needing to be set free.
Hurt, pained, neglected, frustrated, abused, and ignored you whom you have masked, hidden from view, and denied the existence of. This child is always just below the surface, causing you to be anxious, worried, and fearful of mistreatment.
Fun loving, happy, frivolous, joyful, humorous you when you were young and unsophisticated; that person you have replaced with a sophisticated, mature, serious, task oriented demeanor.
Childhood you have lost or forgotten; yet it still resides in you, dwelling in your subconscious.
Person who knows how to have fun and play for play's sake; who can help you prevent burnout and manage the stress in your life.
Person you could be as an adult if you lightened up, let go of your seriousness, overcame your fears, and accepted flexibility and change in your life.
Person within you who needs healing, support, and reinforcement through a variety of Tools for Coping activities. Through this you can be given new life, health, and a chance for personal growth. |

Inner child #1 My little Red Star |
|
"A grownup is a child with layers on" ~Woody Harrelson
"Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence" ~Norman Podhoretz
"We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times" ~Friedrich Nietzsche
|
"So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us" ~Gaston Bachelard
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up" ~Pablo Picasso
"The reluctance to put away childish things may be a requirement of genius" ~Rebecca Pepper Sinkler
"Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination" ~Robert Fulghum
"In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play" ~Friedrich Nietzsche
"I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things.... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind" ~Leo Buscaglia
"My childhood may be over, but that doesn't mean playtime is" ~Ron Olson

"Im sure the parts you miss are the parts you put there in the first place, if you take those away (the parts you put there), then would you still miss the rest of it?" ~me
Bonds with some people are forever and bonds with some other people are just moments for future opportunity. We all have a choice, we all make our own choices, today I made a choice and when I stuck to it, I got unexpected results but not surprised about it. Instinct and desire, those are two elements in the human spirit that are in a constant state of race, inside, your heart, your head and your soul.

Very recently, every were I turn or go, there seems to be communication issues going on; I hope its transitory and just me being to observant and not minding my own business; my A.D.D… I’m usually just standing there and watching for a brief moment. Sometimes it pisses me off, for just a moment, only a moment, just one moment please, sometimes, I need to act accordingly to keep it even and at a distance. Most time, I just make sure and even more times, I remind myself, I’m not really a part of what’s going on-on-any real permanent level, at least not too permanent and not for very long. I keep my cool and just feel a little thankful that I am capable of making a choice that is not influenced by my own natural impulse, that I can choose and make decision outside of my own temperament; some poor people out there are victims of there own self inflicted disposition. My grandmother, a very strong woman, made sure of that and has made me the person I am today. As far as interacting with people goes, one of the most important elements of congregation is, knowing who the people and family are around you, beware of those who are, for lack of a better word 'have shortcoming in there influence's' around you, they are not really your friends all the time, sad to say, (one moment please) they are not to be trusted all the time, (just another moment) but you can still be civil and show commiseration and a municipal understanding along with feeling grateful (without being condescending or arrogant) that you are not an unfortunate social degenerate dumb-cluck; remember, do not turn your back on anyone always keep your eyes open and on everyone around you, mind your surroundings. Be strong for those inflicting themselves on you, and do what is right and help them on there way if need be, for the security of you and even more important those who matter most to you. |

"If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, and your team, your character will take care of itself.
Character is a by-product, and any man or woman who devotes himself or herself to its cultivation in his/hers own case will become a selfish pig"
