outside of a small circle of readers

Post by jackofnightmares » October 20th, 2021, 8:38 pm

I am a stranger to myself
to mine own self to be true
I lean on a small circle of freinds
life is good for me these withering days
"Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect" Santayana The Idea of Christ in the Gospels

Wow interesting! Thine self is true
Cannot lose your soul
I have certainly tried that..

I dunno what there is to say or not say about politics
War and marriage- the topics are liable to get me in trouble
Fuck war fuck political agendas
Fuck lunatics
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

i am going to the crossroad to sell my soul to the devil

Pretty soon I am going to have to decide whether I have a soul or not
when I was one and 20 I did not have a soul
I was not aware of my soul

aah the Kitty Genovese psychology......our small group here at S8 would never fall prey to the "bystander effect"

I just reintroduced myself to that whole episode in history....quite a complex story it was......

another OCD song
Where am I?
— She kept asking.
Me being the straight forward linear kind of guy that I am answered her "we are standing here on Conneticut Avenue." But she still kept asking where she was!

That was close to 50 years ago. Today I finaly understtod how she felt. :lol:

Dylan Asked Phil Ochs if he wanted a cookie. 8)

The keeper of the blame, even if it did not happen it is a major bummer.
I need a de-myth routine to clean all the crap I seen on TV.
what was it the hipsters used to say about the even if it did not happen...?
that is why I spend too much time here studio eight is like thaumaturgical jitterbug keyboard, de-mythtafacation machine
