oh Sunday morning, why must you taunt me so? Jesus rose from the dead early on sunday morning to prove a point about getting to work on time. why do we have the day off? isn't that why the week ends on saturday? because the weekend is at the weeks end! i am baffled that we take two days off. lazy society mine. and yet a biblical work ethic demands that we toil everyday, for was it not Christ who said that: "the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath"? ... but i rant. i am quite sure that since the curse of the garden rested on all men thru adam that "by the sweat of your brow you shall work" and since Christ indeed redeemed us from that curse, then we can honestly say that we are free indeed as it does in galatians. free to serve one another in love. and yet... we take two days off. shameful. almost as bad as that whole "tithe" philosophy, when Jesus made it plain that we are to come wholly an completly His... and to give of ourselves freely and fully. when the rich young ruler asked what He must do to inherit eternal life, Christ told him to sell it all and give it to the poor. Christ condems us all to fiscal irresponsibility in these thoughts that He says how hard it is for the rich man to enter in to the kingdom of heaven and how hard it will be for him to gain eternal life. bah. i just woke up. these are the mutterings of a wizard and a fool.

jennifer is reading original winnie the pooh (edward bear) stories to me by a.a. milne. my favorite one is where winnie rolls around in the mud and then gets a balloon to fly up to deceive the bees into thinking that he was a cloud. he even gets christopher robin into walking underneath him and say "tut, tut, i think it's going to rain". but it gets epic when winnie wants down. he asks christopher robin to shoot the balloon with his gun so that he will be able to come down. christopher robin just wants winnie to let go. well... winnie talks christopher to pull out his gun... and... christopher accidently shoots winnie instead. but it's all ok because he shot again and the balloon was punctured and winnie was escorted safely to the ground. no big deal right?

Does Mt. Dew lower sperm count? YES.
Don't believe the anti-hype.
Why is this?
Because it lowers your zinc levels.
When you eat things with Yellow 5, you lose zinc through your urine and saliva. If you have ADHD, you lose it even faster than someone without ADHD (Ward 1990, 1997). Zinc, an essential trace mineral, is required by hundreds of your body's enzymes involved with the metabolism of protein, carbohydrate, fat and alcohol. Zinc is also critical for wound healing, sense of taste and smell, immune system function, bone strength, thyroid function, blood clotting, cognitive functions, prenatal development, and sperm production. Even a mild deficiency can produce a wide range of physical and mental problems.
(Ward 1990, 1997)

i believe in complete meritocracy. a system where the system rewards the talented and able rather than first appearances or nepotism.

it's a little bit odd, not having a job.
i might eat some corn, right off of the cob.
or maybe clean house. as quick as a mouse.
it is a little bit strange, now that i've rearranged.

"Oh a fucking hero huh?"
was what he said to me as he turned his lights on
speeding forward one hundred feet to block in the remaining travellers
there had been twelve more that i had released
around fifty that i told to go the other way
safety vest strapped on my chest reflectors in hand
that i had found in a dumpster months before
and came in handy that night
only to be degraded by the local police
for doing their job.

it creeps me out how google and youtube are linked together. in other news: i am not as pretentious as i come off. i watched a video of myself recently and realized that i seem like a bully or a know-it-all quite often. odd. if you could step into my brain you would see one of those guys spinning plates on sticks and realize that i have no idea what to say to people most of the time but i just try anyway. most of the frustrations and manipulations of my past have been from deep-seeded needs that i didn't even know that i possessed.

Flash Point was a really awesome movie about how Donnie Yen kicks the Triad in the teeth and avenges his undercover partner. flashpoint was a really awesome movie about two texas border patrol officers who find a buttload of cash. Flashpoint is really awesome TV show about a Canadian bomb squad unit that usually spoils the whole episode at the beginning two minutes.

antiporn
I tender harsh megabites
Relinquishing my sovereign rights
To shame my face in all disgrace
I shall objectify no more.
Mental anguish torment fraught
The late night battle often fought
The naked gleaming sultry steaming
I shall objectify no more
Late night when all are tight in bed
In darkest places i am led
To scary women in dark dens
I shall objectify no more
And yet my shame is made so plain
When demons haunt my heart so vain
My lust: It's rust from all mistrust
I shall objectify no more
Confess to wife, cry while I lay
I make mistakes but then I say
Lead me my lover into your covers
I shall objectify no more
And so the mind drug washes clean
With wife and my new self-esteem
The psychopathic pornographic
I shall objectify no more
Ten years later I still fight
With dreams that often come at night
But I am friend with truths own end
I shall objectify no more

ran into a former friend on the road the day after having a dream that i ran into him. things were different in real life than the dream. here, in real life, i just turned and went the other way and did not strike up a conversation with him. i think that this was for the best. i am no tool nor fool to be used.

What is good?—Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man.
What is evil?—Whatever springs from weakness.
What is happiness?—The feeling that power increases—that resistance is overcome.
Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war; not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense, virtu, virtue free of moral acid).
The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it.
What is more harmful than any vice?—Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak—Christianity....

being part of the family guy online closed beta test is not really the wonderful thing i thought it would be. while i enjoy the basic concept of the show... the reality of the show is vulgar, crass and a complete waste of morality. my goal in participating in the beta was primarily for the feedback forms so that i might be that small voice saying that maybe "this" went too far, or "that" was over the line... alas my solitary call was met with the comeback: "that's why we have T and M ratings: deal with it" wow. thanks macfarlaneites for your honesty. so, now, i have come to believe that when seth writes stewie in for all his parts, he is actually writing about himself. and remember, stewie was born with strategical plans to take over europe instead of a placenta.

one of the reasons that the price of cotton spiked in feb 11, was that china did bulk buying and hurt the market... now, just recently india has decided to place a ban on their export of cotton. as you may or may not know, cotton grows in very arid land, which india has plenty enough of. with the last spike on cotton reaching insane amounts http://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2012/3/8/saupload_Cotton.png we were lead to believe that it would be the beginning of the end of the levis love and the start of a bamboo trend amongst weavers and producers of cloth... but cotton went down again after china had enough of the free markets cotton to choke a bear. http://farmpolicy.typepad.com/files/nasscottonnovsnapshot-2009-11-10-16-24-21.jpg so will this see-saw effect happen again next harvest season? who knows? all i know is that if cotton keeps going up along with crude oil, then the cost of having any clothing shipped to any stores will be harsh on the pocket-book. start taking care of the clothes you have now and don't worry about that latest trend! part of the ignorance of the western world is that inability of women and metrosexual and fashion-conscious men to deny their better judgement and buy things that OTHERS think they should have. remember what I peter says: "Don't be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes." seems like good advice. i find my wife beautiful without makeup... why can't we all?

repentance for past mistakes in prayer this morning has led me to appologize to the world for wasting their time with things that are solely in self-centered interest and not more accutly involved with their own worlds in the realm of dynamic importance.
often i do not think of the ramifications before i post nonsense. sometimes i really feel it is important what i post. for your time that i have mis-spent, i am sorry.

Ten very important verses from two books of religion.
You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too. If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile,carry it two miles. Give to those who ask, and don't turn away from those who want to borrow. You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends,t how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Freedom from obligation is proclaimed from Allah and His messenger toward those of the idolaters with whom ye made a treaty. Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye have a treaty, and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported anyone against you. Fulfill their treaty to them till their term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty. And a proclamation from Allah and His messenger to all men on the day of the Greater Pilgrimage that Allah is free from obligation to the idolaters, and His messenger. So, if ye repent, it will be better for you; but if ye are averse, then know that ye cannot escape Allah. Give tidings of a painful doom to those who disbelieve, Travel freely in the land four months, and know that ye cannot escape Allah and that Allah will confound the disbelievers. Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. And if anyone of the idolaters seeks thy protection, then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not. How can there be a treaty with Allah and with His messenger for the idolaters save those with whom ye made a treaty at the Inviolable Place of Worship ? So long as they are true to you, be true to them. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty."How can there be any treaty for the others?" Don't make treaties with non-Muslims. They are all evildoers and should not be trusted. How when, if they have the upper hand of you, they regard not pact nor honour in respect of you? They satisfy you with their mouths the while their hearts refuse. And most of them are wrongdoers. They have purchased with the revelations of Allah a little gain, so they debar from His way. Lo! evil is that which they are wont to do. And they observe toward a believer neither pact nor honour. These are they who are transgressors.
i prefer the first one. you don't have to kill anyone in the first one... even though the first part of the first one was a bit eye-for-eye, the completion of the first one is pretty frikkin cool. i will just have to say that i love Jesus Christ i think mohhomad needed counseling.
