jt's blog: "mad mad world"

Too many subjects to fall into one genre Current mood: awake Category: Life Might I wander through these Fields in Knowledge...Aware...Impressed upon...Spoken to by the Voice which spins these Universes...these many Fields which Move these Revolutions. These Revolutions. May I wander and Wonder in amazement at the Beauty which Surrounds our Simplistic Capabilities. Might I remain humble as I squander this gift among those who may not See. May I be Blessed enough to be given the Audience to which I am received in Honesty. Who might Hear me in Truth...more than simply to the Crowd which Emily Dickinson referred to as "the admiring Bog...Who am I?" Shallow narrowness is so much Easier for the Crowd, is it not? Pass it by. Live in the Box which you yourself have Created. Choose Ignorance...it is a Simpler Path...little or no complication. Effortless and unrequired. No need to Participate. So, I am on my soap box just a preachin' away....but if you stop to Listen...there are Pearls of Wisdom among the rantings of a mad man...they just don't burn us at the stake literally anymore....only in their minds.....hmmmm Currently listening : One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism By Aretha Franklin Release date: By 06 May, 2003

i know you've probably all seen it already...but bickering online is like the Special Olympics...in the end...everyone is still a retard--pardon the offensive terminology...not intended to slight anyone, only a figure of speech to emphasize the level of such behaviors

Saturday, June 02, 2007 Te Acuerdo Category: Writing and Poetry Mi Dulce Acuerdo © Te acuerdo...haunting me with the past....among the Zocolo where we met in Cuernavaca as I look at fotos, mirando las fotos...the cafe where we drank coffee...tomando café. Our final embrace...holding you in my arms as tight as I could, for fear it was goodbye forever. Para siempre. Nuestro abrazo final...el último. And I think of you Still. Todavía. Ya. Eres como un suenyo. And you leave me as easily as you drift in these dreams. Like a piece of my Past that I attempt to excuse. What ever happened? Eres solo mi fantasia del pasado. So where is the Present? In this Search for Something, Someone Real. Alguien Real. So where? Couldn't be in this Box to which I am geographically assigned my Physical presence. This Body is not Limited to such Space. Que puedo decir? Quien sabe? Soy un Poeta…Artista….y voy a vivir Siempre en mis palabras y en las Mentes de mis amigos leales....cualquier grupo eres tu?© Currently listening : I Like It Like That By Tito Nieves

ohhhhhhhh the drain and the strain....SWNSASY...girl, you know what I am talkin 'bout!

April 25, 2007 11:25 pm EST (in Tennessee) It’s weird being here again…seeing the faces that I remember from over ten years ago…those faces that produced so much hate. Those faces that implanted recollections which I now know could never be erased no matter what—merely stashed away in those cobweb-cluttered corners of my mind. Memories hiding amongst the chaos and disorganization of so many more complications, revealing themselves like a new gray hair—waiting to be colored…covered…concealed. The cupboards we fill with essentials and non essentials…the spices that we haven’t used in months…the ones we should throw out, but some strange instinct or learned behavior prompts us to slide them right back and leave them there…Do they provide us with comfort? Is that why we keep them? But, no—memories aren’t like stale herbs in many ways. We don’t have the option of discarding them, only displacing them. So we manage through them, as burned into our psyche as they are; and we learn to laugh amid all the bullshit anyway because there is no other way. Or if there happens to be, I have yet to discover that. Reality can not be avoided; however there are occasions where we must detour. Change the scenery. Eat a whole pie or drink a bottle of wine all to ourselves. That is the harsh reality of the lesson…or the not so harsh reality of the lesson. Detours. Smelling the fucking flowers and rolling around in the grass just to shake off the dust. Despite what “Life” hurls at us, beats us down with or otherwise confounds.

Unfortunately I fear that this incident is not only a reflection of the utter incompetance of current gun regulations and the current administration's ineptness, but also a reflection of what Society is becoming. The world environment on the largest scale right now is unstable...and I ain't even gonna mention the Middle East other than right there, that all I need to say...okay, we all know what a monumental mishap that is. Anyway, Globally--I think consciousness is so befuddled right now and there is no sense of Commonality as a Human Race....I see Devastation on so many levels, starting within those people close to me...and from there it expands to world wide unrest....civil unrest. Though I would not consider myself a Bible thumper, I do believe it has Value and Lessons. And to reiterate, I may not agree entirely with it--but that is my bag...Aside from that, I believe it has immense Prophetic Substance. All this crazy shit going on right now is a reflection of the mess that we humans have become...we don't know how to love, respect and accept each other despite racial, social, intellectual, spiritual, sexual differences and what multitudes of others that I didn't mention. So we have a world filled with Hate...that evil feeds on Hate and grows stronger because we don't bother to unite....and yes, it needs to start with our World Leaders...it is essential that they listen to the Prophets Old and New...begin with example...this firmly is the only solution...Those of us who have the Capacity to be this Aware are required by God to send this message in the way we live....to Live in the ways that produce Positive strength and Energy....and we need to let our leaders know that this is what Peace is...and the only way that we can battle the forces of Darkness that invade our collective ignorance and then manifest themselves in the ugly situation like that in Virginia. This is it, we got to stand or everything is gonna Fall for sure.
