Well, here I am, at 11pm on 7/10, having just finished a 'swing' shift at work, and trying to enjoy a cup of coffee and a... bad habit... as I contemplate the day, and the things that I would like to say, or have said today, and the things that happened... or should have... and among those things is the nagging thought that I ought to post something today... again... just like I did yesterday... and didn't. So many days seem to pass just that way... but I didn't mean for it to happen that way. Not at all. To begin with, I began a really great post this morning, before I had to get ready for work, having to do with da Vinci and John the Baptist, which I am going to get to later, but the point is that just as I was digging up the painting from my 'photobucket,' the computer decided to spontaneously re-start for updates, and I lost the entire post. This was at a point at which I did not have the time necessary to retype the entire post, add the artwork, and get it posted in time for you to read it while I was gone. I was disappointed, to say the least, and I wondered why... why now? I mean, why at all, but why NOW? Well, whatever... here I am... without the post... and tired. So tired. We're covering 'vacation' time, as well as running the usual it-seems-always-short-staffed, and I just finished working 23 days, which included a whopping 4 days off (which is to say that out of a total of 27 days, 23 were work days)... one of which followed a graveyard shift. My own 'vacation' time will be late, since the calendar seems to have been 'lost,' and subsequently, the days that I requested were not scheduled, and then, re-scheduled (and by this I mean 'at all,') at my insistence, for two weeks later than I asked for, but they're coming. I hope I make it. I have times in which I am not sure what to say, if anything, and so... I keep my silence. At other times, it seems that I am practically bursting with things that I want to say, but circumstance seems to prevent me, at those times, from saying anything at all... and I can't help wondering sometimes. Actually, I wonder most of the time... and try to laugh, although, the truth is that many times, laughter is far, far from me... and most surely, I have wept the tears of a clown. This place is terrible, indeed... and terribly wonderful, as well. Like most of the people that I know... Now, it used to be that I felt as if I had all the time in the world, but I am beginning to feel a sense of 'timeliness' in regard to what it is that I have to say, and so... I really need to get on with it. In a way, I am most anxious for you to review my 'thesis,' and in another way, I can't help being uncertain as to its reception, but... I really feel as if I have no choice. Certain things really just seem to cry out for it... and just maybe, some of you will understand. In fact, I know that you Will... Frankly... I think the lid should be blown off of both the catsup and the mustard... thereby creating what passes elsewhere for Art... and leaving a clear path for the 'horsey sauce.' This in reference to a really woo-woo story on the radio that I heard the other day... and try not to laugh. 'They' own the satellites, and your 'facebook'... bwahahaha... Now, that really is just crazy... Otherwise... mostly I contemplate what Will Be, and dream of Paradise... I'm really hoping to see you there. I'll be wearing the flower...

All right... I'm going to try this again; I picked blackberries yesterday, and subsequently made a cobbler, which I should be doing again this afternoon, before the 'blackberry season' passes... without me and another helping of cobbler. You've got to move fast around here to beat the bears' time... no kidding... lol... Anyway, I got up this morning and turned on the radio, and what do you know...? They really were playing my song... so, I laughed... and then, I knew... that I should be posting while I have some time; I really do have some things that I need to get on with. That 'my song' was followed by at least a half-dozen more of 'my songs,' topped off by a great Led Zeppelin tune that featured a garden and some houses of the holy... I'm still dreaming of Paradise, I guess. And this would be a good time to say 'thank you' to Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page (in particular), for giving us all so much 'Magic' in their music... another light that I've used to help find my way here. Thank you... And one more... because my horse loves 'golden apples'... Now, back to 'my song'... I don't expect that there is anybody here following these little 'conversations,' but the other night, my Friend asked me if 'my song' was My Name is Mudd, by Primus, and then 'ducked' an imaginary frying-pan, or some such implement of destruction (kitchen tool), and I said, 'No'... (insert wry grimace here)... it was better than that. So, this morning, I turn on the radio and it was 'my song,' which I am happy enough to 'own,' by the way... so, here's the video... needless to say, I danced... and, look closely now,- it's 'pearls before a swine.' Lolol... How do you like that? Is there a message in all of this? What do I know...? I've got a funny pair of glasses... Sometimes I still have to smile... in spite of it all... and I suppose that you can go ahead and pass the barbecue sauce; I'm not sure yet what happened to the catsup and mustard, but it looks fairly certain there's a 'pork bone' around here somewhere... Don't make me check your pockets... Baaaahahaha... Hey-o, let's go...!!!

ooops... shucks... double-post... So, I wasn't going to mention it, but since there seems to be a place for it (opportunely, eh?), I might as well throw in the 'kicker'... Or, at least, just One Good One... Like I said. But on another subject, the idea of stringing pearls reminds me of a passage in my copy of the Sefir Yetzirah that tells of the way that the letters of the alphabet are 'strung,' in a similar way, I would imagine... And here, you all thought that I meant... What I think you meant... Let's just go on, shall we...?

And speaking of 'messages,' I just ran out to pick up some lunch and, as a matter of course, ran by the church building with the 'messageboard' that I sometimes like to quote from, and you'll never guess which song 'they' chose to play on the radio (personally, I like to 'blame' (H)AL... I wasn't on KBOB this time... speaking of knee-slapping, and all)... The cover version of Signs by Tesla... Oh, dear... lolol... Now, the 'message' that I got out of that was this: "Goldilocks, you can't move fast enough to beat the bears' time... bwahahaha... etc, etc..." But, as this particular "trick pony," 'The Counting Horse,' would probably tell you: I wouldn't count on that...I understand that there may be a little 'Meet & Greet' with the 'Tesla' bandmembers after their concert at the Fair here... there's another video here where they teach the horse to 'shake;' I could do that... I won't say I'll take any 'prizes' at it... *snork* And, if not, there's the 'Eddie Money' method... yeah.... I think I've got this one down...

Grillin' hard in my smoky joe cooking like Flo-Jo with the mojo Hell I'll even roast Cujo in a Peugeot and still have time for my Uzo ... LOL *smooches* Now you're playing my song... Beautiful. I'd like to leave some 'hot links,' but I'll have a trail of dogs drooling for miles... And 'God' knows I've got my hands full with the one talking ass... Lolol...

And now, on a seemingly more random note, I'd just like to make a quick statement in regard to recent conversations having to do with 'contractual agreements' of a certain nature... for those of you who live in 'fear' of somehow 'selling your soul' by means of a 'Contract' of 'Law':
The Truth is, just as I've always said...
The 'Devil' wouldn't have most of you on the end of someone else's 10-foot-pole, much less by 'contractual agreement.' That would be 'binding,' such as a yoke, say, and dust is mostly best shaken from One's feet... this, I assume, would be more to his 'point.' You will give yourselves away, first... and He will laugh. Mostly. In that regard, you are all quite vain, really...
I would prefer to think of these things as more of a 'Covenant'... which is also a mutually binding agreement, of a different Nature. It is possible, I suppose, that you are unable to perceive the difference.
In which case... you must certainly be excused.
As you like it, after all...

Well, I have several things that I'd like to cover today... or, at least, open for 'discussion.' I say that, because I never really get to 'discuss' anything with anybody here... as you can see... I mostly talk, and you all mostly just read. I guess that's all right... I just feel the need to say these things, and then, I feel that having said them, I've done what I can/should do. And that's enough... The rest, as 'they' say, is 'His-story'... and what are we, after all, but the Voice that tells it? And that's enough... On a happier note, I really came to this particular thread, to drop this little bit of 'news,' since I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it, off-hand... Remember the post that I made the other day, in regard to the local thunderstorms and large-ish hail that the Weather Service announced? I said that we were only short a few coals of fire... lol... Last night, I took my 15-minute break outside and (as usual) watched the sky, because I always ask for just one falling star... just because it makes me happy, I guess (I think they're beautiful), and the happy part is that I always get one; within those few minutes, something always appears. So, last night, my time was up, and I said 'Well, that's a shame... I have to go now. Maybe later...' and just as I looked down, I saw a 'flash' above me, and as I looked up, there passed a HUGE ball of flame, complete with a fiery tail, which shot by, and then disappeared. 'Wow' I said... 'We have our coals of fire.' And so, we continue... Ezekiel 3330: Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
31And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness
32And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. Just sayin'... I'm happy you could be here.

Oh, Goodness... you boys really are a 'hoot,' you know; I really am entertained, and I suppose that's worth it's weight in... whatever... The 'good news' (and you just know there is some), is that that 'breach' in 'communication' has been bridged, so to speak; I told you you should have saved up for that secret de-coder ring, didn't I? But nooooo... lolol... it's more of a 'signet' ring, anyway, but never mind... it Works. That's the 'good news.' Now, I'm going to dust off that 'stairwell to heaven' you all keep going on about... if I'm really lucky, I'll polish off Jenny's phone number, which is evidently still up there on the wall somewhere... and as far as that goes, I've got an Absolutely Rock-in' version of one of my all-time favorite tunes for you... You're going to love this... I did... And believe me when I tell you, these boys are 'dead' Sirius... Feel free to slap your knees on this one; I Will... Oh, here we go... for old time's sake, eh? Baaaahahaha... The devil made me do it... Lololol...

But, brother 'Steve'... That's not 'plopping poop' I see on your logo, is it? I believe that it is... and that's just... Od... But, still, I really did enjoy the 'cover.' And, just so you know, riding mowers are a lot of fun.

I have to work again tonight, so posting will necessarily be brief, but I felt the need to make an equally brief statement as to my posting habits, and the poster names that I have, or do, currently use... to come to the point, it has been pointed out that other posters on other forums have taken certain of my 'personal appellations' to themselves recently, for reasons that I can't say that I understand. It wouldn't matter really, except that I don't wish for anyone to be misled in that regard... I do not now, nor have I for a long time, posted on any other forums. Period. Not as 'Pooky' (which I DO actually resent, for personal reasons... you understand), nor as 'black sheep' (which if you feel like a 'black sheep,' too, I understand, but come on with the avatar, already...), nor as 'Goldenfleeced,' so you can get on with your 'Miss Fleeced' business, too... it isn't me. I decided to remove myself from the subversive energies that are present on the forums currently, and preach on my own street corner... only... ever. You can come if you like... come as you are... you can speak, if you like, or not... which seems more likely, but on the other hand, if you read here and don't comment 'to my face,' as it were, please forbear from the comments addressed to me, that I will never hear, because you never spoke to me. You might have... and always I wish that someone would,- for better or worse... So... I don't need to 'hide' behind any other 'skirts,' unlike some people that I 'know'... and shame on you that do. Everything that is hidden will be revealed... and that includes all of 'you.' I look forward to it... I have taken a liking to the poster name 'Hermethena,' which I may dust off for my own use, so if I see any more of those trudging around, well... Whatever...

Okay, so let's try this post again... As I was saying, just prior to my 'webpage expiring' in the middle of my post, which doesn't necessarily surprise me, either, I just want to give a 'nod' (and a wink, eh?) to one of my local 'powerstations,' and a 'thank you' for the tunes... for better or worse... They have a website, and I could listen that way, but I guess I just like the idea of 'radio waves,' so I hang with the FM... but either way... 'thanks.' It's great bands like this one that keep me on my feet, and they're also... quite inspiring. For instance, AC/DC... alternating current and direct current... I can think of several interesting applications for that concept... and have... And none of them have anything to do with 'that'...

Now, this is a Good One... and quite appropriate to the subjects 'at hand,' if you Will... How about another 'nod' and 'wink' and 'thank you' to the video poster 'mirorfloydka' who took their time to put this one up... Here, I have something for you that I'm sure you're going to 'like,' with another 'nod' and 'wink' and 'thank you' to the 'entity?' known as 'Cosmic Oneness'... You know who you are... even if we don't... Well, I'm afraid my 'page will expire' before I can get that graphic up... and that would be a shame, too. I should give linkies... I mean, 'credit where credit is due,' isn't that right? If I have to, I suppose that I could offer you a 'hot potato' badge... Okay, here we go... although, in 'retrospect,' I do wish that I'd grabbed the 'Kermit the Frog' graphic... so... appropriate... I have a feeling that 'cosmic oneness' means that it's all one poster... more or less... And they're 'lion'... Lololol...

How about a nod to the Youtube poster known as Mirrororo... which reminds me of another old 'friend' of mine... Astrozorro... I wonder what ever happened to him? And that graphic above reminds me of another Youtube poster, TrixxyKatt... cool shades, cat... It really is a good playlist... you should check it out. I feel as if it really is a time for 'new beginnings'... it's in the air, if you ask me... Don't mind if I do... and speaking of Quicksilver Messenger Service, here's something from the book of 'Abraham the Jew'... I wonder what it means?
