V. Viscusi

"But follow only if ye are men of valour. For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a monster, a creature so foul and cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair ... therefore sweet knights if you may doubt your strength or courage come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty pointy teeth."

 

A good read I am involed with right now...
"Every person,
all the events of your life
are there because you have
drawn them there.
What you choose
to do with them is
up to you..."

The Celestine Prophecy
The Celestine Prophecy is the title of a novel by James Redfield. The novel is seen as a spiritual guide for the New Age. One devotee describes it this way.


This book is very simply about how we get and use energy. When we get enough energy, in the right ways, we can "raise our vibration." With a higher vibration we are better able to tap into our psychic and intuitive skills, and thus are better able to discover and live our true purpose in life.

In the novel, the meaning of life is revealed in an ancient Peruvian manuscript written in Aramaic. It predicts a massive spiritual transformation of society in the late twentieth century. We will finally grasp the secrets of the universe, the mysteries of existence, the meaning of life. The real meaning and purpose of life won't be found in religion and it won't be found in material wealth, but rather in things like auras . The manuscript is full of insights like this and these insights are the way to the transformation. How do we know this? Just look at the restlessness all around you. That's the key. The dissatisfaction and restlessness we feel is the key. We're like caterpillars ready to metamorphosize into butterflies, to burst forth together into the New Age. After all, you can't seek fulfillment if you're fulfilled! Do you think it is a coincidence that coincidences are happening more and more frequently?
...the Manuscript says the number of people who are conscious of such coincidences would begin to grow dramatically in the sixth decade of the twentieth century. He said that this growth would continue until sometime near the beginning of the following century, when we would reach a specific level of such individuals--a level I think of as a critical mass.

 

Thursday 8 26 04 caught myself

The first time
This has never happened to me before
But it does not feel good
When you are going to do something nice for someone
And then right in the middle of it
You stop doing it
Cause you know it’s a waist of time.

It's easier than you think to become a human lie detector.
Look for Suspicious Behaviors by Marty Nemko Who works for BLUE LUE BOIL


By themselves, each of these behaviors can just be signs of stress, or even a person's natural mannerisms. One can occur by chance, but when two or more of these behaviors suddenly appear at a moment when lying could be expedient. For example, when you ask a salesman how reliable that used car is, it suggests he's lying.
Here's the top eight list of suspicious behaviors: there are more but these are the top eight; so far.


1. A change in the voice's pitch.
2. A change in the rate of speech.
3. A sudden increase in the number of "ums" and "ahs."
4. A change in eye contact. Normally, one makes eye contact one-quarter to one-half of the time. If suddenly, at the convenient moment to lie, he's staring at you or looking away, beware.
5. Turning his body away from you, even if just slightly.
6. Suddenly being able to see the white on the top and bottom of a person's eyes, not just the sides.
7. A hand reaching, even if momentarily, to cover part of the face, especially the mouth.
8. Nervous movement of feet or legs.


Of course, in order to notice a change, you need a baseline. So you must first watch the person when talking about innocuous issues.


A Mixed Signal
Also look for mixed signals. When someone's telling the truth, her words, her face and her body language are all congruent. For example, if a person is honestly saying that she likes you, her face is usually relaxed, offering a gentle smile and warm eyes. Her body is calm and open. But when she's lying, something is usually inconsistent. In the most obvious case, she may be saying she likes you, but she's not smiling. She may even have a clenched fist. Better liars can muster a smile, but it doesn't look natural. Even better liars can put on a convincing smile, but their eyes aren't smiling. Still better liars can control their entire face, but their bodies seem closed or cold. Look for mismatches between words and body language.


When you've gotten a signal -- a change in body language or a mixed signal that the person may be lying -- ask for more information about the same topic. Are those same lying signs apparent? That can confirm your suspicion.


Of course, there's no foolproof way to detect lying. Some people are terrific at covering themselves up, especially if they are naturally emotionally flat or have practiced their lying skills over many years -- certain political leaders come to mind. But if you look for behavior changes and mixed signals at lying-expedient moments, you will improve your BS detector.

 

Sunday August 22 2004 -Pam's last day...Going away to school.. She'll be back...
I went to the Katz for a sandwich, before I tell you the story let me say, when ya go there-of-course you are expecting the best sandwich ever. The Katz’s restaurant has been there for 112 years. I go there with my buddy for dinner and of course I got the new guy to make me a sandwich instead of one of the veterans sandwich makers. The sandwich sucked. My night was almost shot. My adxxxxxe to you. Make sure you get one of the old guys to make you a sandwich not a skinny new kid by the grill. I don’t ask for much in life, I am a simple man; one of the things I look forward to in my daily life is a good sandwich from the Katz’s.

 

Fri/Sat August 20/21 strange fruit

Attention Deficit Disorder Overview (ADHD/ADD)

Contrary to many people's belief, attention deficit disorder or ADHD/ADD is not the results of "bad parenting" or that you or your child simply has problems controlling attitude, and people that would suggest such a notion are downright wrong!
Attention Deficit (and its many forms: ADD/ADHD/LD) is a dysfunction of the Central Nervous System (CNS), most specifically the Reticular Activating System, which results in difficulties of maintaining attention and concentration, learning and memory, as well as involving an inability to process and sort out incoming information or stimulus from both an individual's inner (subjective) and outer (objective) worlds.
In most cases ADHD or ADD is seen in children in adolescence and earlier. In most cases it is out grown, maybe.

The following are some signs to look for:
Hyperactivity, fidgeting, squirming in seat, or moving constantly, wandering, may leave the seat in the classroom when expected to stay, has trouble participating in "quiet" activities such as reading, talks excessively or is impulsive (may blurt out answers before questions have been completed), has difficulty awaiting turn, interrupts others, has problems sleeping, is not able to delay gratification, can be social outcasts or loners (possible inability to play in groups, but may perform in one-on-one situation), has apparent disregard for own safety, behavior not usually modified by reward or punishment, may have other specific learning disabilities, and failure to meet normal intellectual developmental milestones.

For give the Rant but it’s still bugging me a little. Feeling blue...
From level two too seven yet everybody is even on the ego part of the team. I am on a Tuesday team that is way in first place and there is only six of us playing, and each of likes the hell out of each other. I hope this time it will work for us on Monday this coming season? I bug’s me that the team’s I put together in the past always has somebody or some bodies that doesn’t want to play ball with the whole team, only half or maybe most but not all, it wont work if it is not all. I am not going to be fighting with anybody on my team every Monday this coming season just for the sake of the entertainment for the rest of the team or certain individuals of the team; I don’t need to put up with that I have spent three years already trying to put together a killer team only to come up short in the end because of the same shit character conflicts, no shows, alcoholics, arrogant, immaturity and so forth you have lots of the most unlikely teams going to the winners circle not because they have player like Mike and Martine, Douglas and George. Ya got regular people going; why? Because of something I have not done yet. I want to be with company I enjoy and that same company enjoying me as company, I really don’t care for that “ I don’t care if he’s around or I don’t care if she’s around” attitude ether. it is still negative energy even when you surpress it with ' we dont have to like each other to work well together" thing. If you don’t like me, stay the hell away from me. And if I don’t like you I am going to keep away from you. But you’re not going to come into my home and look at me with contempt or dislike; I don’t even want that “I am pretending you’re not around” attitude. Just keep away if you feel I am not the company you prefer. I am already going to have my hands full with George I don’t need two, three, four or more Georges on my team. Sorry my regular readers, that is just the way I had to do it. Do you know anybody who wants to be on my team with out a problem with me.

August 17 2004 Tuesday afternoon
I just been informed the reason why there was a little attitude toward me from certain others who are no longer a matter was because of the coin toss, and the fact that I told the opposing team they put up first. I was not going to do it but as I was walking out to smoke a stogie some one yelled out form my team “William the coin toss!” I did not look who it was that yelled out for me to do it but I did it I wasn’t going to do it. But I was asked to do it…that’s when the attitude began. This is a perfect example of miss communication. Oh well whata-ya-gona-do?
*
One thing…
That’s Ok As far as I am concerned the senior players on the team have say so no matter what anyway xxxxx Douglas and William no particular order. But I will not tolerate disrespect or insubordination from anyone on my team toward any of my senior and new players including myself. Sorry we are all grown ups here.

August 17 2004 Tuesday night fart
I farted when I was talking to xxxxx on the phone today and she heard it, wow. I farted during my match today and somebody heard it, they said, “William, did you just fart?”
*
August 18 2004 WED Afternoon
I made xxxxx captain of the team for the summer season and she made Rachel co captain. Huh? Any way, Rachel toward the end of the season started to give me attitude and disrespect, why? I don’t know. I put Rachel on my team even when her recent record was not up to par. I still believed in her even after she left her Tuesday team under the circumstances she was in. I went to xxxxx and asked why is the co captain giving me attitude? Can you do something about this? I mean what can I do she is the co captain I am just a player I don’t seem to have any leverage for changing anything on the team for the season, if she wants to give me lip and attitude then she can. xxxxxtories reply was, “it is between you and her William deal with it.” I told xxxxx the circumstances and she still said, “Deal with it.” So I did. Bye co captain. xxxxx could have easily just said to her co captain “hey co captain William is a season player here” he put the team together and made me captain lets show him a little respect, just a little. Being I made xxxxx captain and she did say plenty of times “I don’t want to be Captain” you would think she would at least make some effort to find out what the problem was. But noooooo she did not want to do that that would be the smart thing to do, the nice thing to do, the kind of thing a friend would do for a friend, the kind of grown up thing to do. The Captain thing to do, her solution was “deal with it William” if Rachel does not want to give you some respect then deal with it. So I did. What else was I suppose to do. Sit back and watch my team go down the drain by some selfish Captain who is entertained with pettiness.
*
Oh well the team goes on
I think whats her face is Captain of the wrong kind of team. That’s my fault. When one desires to become a captain of a APA pool team, one has goals to excel forward for the big win, in order to do that, you must put a team together and make sure it is the right chemistry. Everybody has rolls and positions on the ship. On my ship, every body must get along or we just wont have smooth sailings. Issues come up and they need to be dealt with. So it is the Captains job to make sure that problems or issues among or around the crew it dealt with properly and appropriately. I want everybody to get along. If I see two member of my crew not getting along, it is the Captain’s job to see to it they do get along as quick and as smooth as possible or the rest of the team will pay for it when there is a critical storm. I just called Rachel and told her she is not on my team next season so find another team to join. I hated to do that. But xxxxx left me no choice, xxxxx was giving Rachel this impression that I was not the important to her, that we are not that close, just a part time friends, a friend she can do without. Why the hell would I give my captainship to some one I could not really trust? Because I thought that she would be in my corner when problems arose around or about the team. Oops, a problem was rising and the only person there to fix it was I. Rachel was giving me attitude and disrespect. How can you give the one person who gave you power lip and attitude? xxxxx told me to deal with it. xxxxx said she does not want co captain the team next season, Infact xxxxx told me plenty of times she did not want to ever to be captain at all, this whole thing might have been my fault. I just needed a break and I ended breaking a piece of my team. I should have given my captain status for the summer to someone I can trust, not someone who has a changeable attitude with me from day to day. I should of pick a friend. Maybe Rachel can help me co captain my team next season, I think I might give her a call and ask and see if she is interested in the job.

The religion of William
William's Eight (so far) deadly Sins of pool

But arent these all the things that make it great?

1. Arrogance: overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors
2. Selfishness: stinginess resulting from a concern for your own welfare and a disregard of others.
3. Fear: The point at which the mind stops denying reality. The emotion of the ego, contrasted with love, the emotion given us by the all mighty; originates in the expected punishment for our seven deadly acts, which our guilt demands; the resulting terror over what we believe we deserve leads us -- through the dynamics of denial and projection -- to defend ourselves by attacking others, which merely reinforces our sense of vulnerability and fear, establishing a xxxxxious circle of fear and defense.
4. Anger: a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance
5. Cheater: someone who leads you to believe something that is not true.
6. Lying: the deliberate act of deviating from the truth. A false statement (in an academic matter) made with the conscious intent to mislead others.
7. Denial: Inability to acknowledge something apparent to others. It can be an involuntary coping strategy. a process of automatically blocking out awareness of painful realities, thoughts, or feelings in order to protect oneself from emotional distress
8. Opinionated: obstinate in your opinions.
