Thinking about the plane that crashed in the Hudson River and the one that crashed near Bufalo.

Trucking emergencies always so two dimensional.

Flying is a wholeother diemension.

"This is our conviction: we confess it before all the world, we live and die for it." I have heard that sort of thing even out of the mouths of antisemites. On the contrary, gentlemen. An antisemite certainly is not any more decent because he lies as a matter of principle. (Nietzsche, Antichrist, 55) Introduction In the 1954 editor's preface to Nietzsche's Antichrist (1888), the late scholar and translator of Nietzsche's works in English, Walter Kaufmann, writes that the title of the book could actually mean "The Antichristian." He also says that although Nietzsche's attitude toward antisemitism in this book is at first glance "puzzling," it is plain from this and other works that Nietzsche "is as opposed to antisemitism as ever." Kaufmann further contends that one of the Antichrist's main themes "is the reversal [emphasis mine] of the traditional appraisal of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism -- an appraisal that had reached an extreme form in the self-styled 'Christian' antisemitism of those days." Although Kaufmann rightly notes that Nietzsche does...

A Goy Reads Nietzsche
Joyce and Nietzsche
From: Cambridge University Press | By: Neil R. Davison

EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION | Whether it's the "death of god" or the predominance of the Ubermensch (superman), the philosophical works of Friedrich Nietzsche have influenced twentieth-century thought in a manner not always regarded as beneficial. Like many of his generation, however, James Joyce would appear to have found a soul mate in Nietzsche. Neil Davison of Oregon State University traces the historical and literary connections between the two men.



n The Origins of Totalitarianism (New York, 1973, p. 23) Hannah Arendt asserts that Nietzsche was one of a handful of modern thinkers who recognized the pivotal role played by the Jews in the progress of Europe. Explaining that emancipated Jewry was an "inter-European, non-national element in a world of growing or existing nations," Arendt claims that along with Diderot and von Humboldt, Nietzsche understood "the grandeur of this consistently 'European' existence." She concludes that "Nietzsche, who out of disgust with Bismarck's German Reich coined the word 'good European' ... [made] his correct estimate of the significant role of 'the Jews in European history, and saved him[self] from falling into the pitfalls of cheap philosemitism or patronizing 'progressive' attitudes." Writing in the post-Holocaust era, Arendt had the advantage of looking back in time at the foreboding movements of nineteenth-century anti-Semitism. Reconsidering his own assumptions about Jews during the Dreyfus era, Joyce had no such advantage. Yet long before Arendt made her claim, Joyce was affected by Nietzsche's insights into the role of European Jewry.

The Nietzsche that emerges here is a tragic prophet of the spiritual vacuum that produced the twentieth century's totalitarian movements, the thinker who best diagnosed the pathologies of fin-de-siècle European culture. Nietzsche dared to look into the abyss of modern nihilism. This book tells us what he found.

For a long time I imagined nietzsche was my co driver.
That was after my jesus freak period

Then they were both there
Hanging onto each ear

Did I mention that I have done a lot drugs?


Not there when I am stoned

I think so too ... and the things we could all do without, well, everyone holds on so tight to their fears...may God hasten the day when all that disappears.

By a lie I mean: wishing not to see something that one does see; wishing not to see something as one sees it . . . the party man becomes a liar
not seeing, sometimes I am grateful that I am not a rugged individualist, that I was born to follow. it is a lonely feeling out on the tale ends of the bell curve.

I want to be happy well adjusted, warm and cozy in the midst of the heard.

The driver knows me better than I know myself, sometimes I think I am the driver, or maybe he is me, part of my physiology, a corner of my brain he lurks in, I wish I was half the man he is.

The Driver never runs out of road.

a reason to drive
tomorrow I will find one

every turn of the wheel is a prayer
every word every breath

If only I could remember what the first breath I ever drew felt like


Like Steve Jobs saying "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow."?

I read somewhere on studio eight that one should pay special attention animal dreams.

Have you ever dreamed something so frightening that it woke you up?

Made me ashamed to realize I was afraid of my dreams. Now they are all good.

I miss the monster dreams. It was funny stuff once I went along with it.

Why monkeys? I was looking for an image not so monkey like as ape like. Thought I saw the demon/s face in there somewhere.

yeah, i had a dream not that long ago where a child who had the same kind of face as the pod people in the "Dark Crystal" - he was choking me from behind -
I didn't think i was gonna get out of there - the little sucker was serious and wouldn't let go - i woke up alright with sweat from the effort. I went back in there to track that little monster but he lost me in the wilds. i'm sure he'll be back around in one form or another, he ain't finished the business. i know it in the bones. Not that i want to see him again, more like i have to.

I can't remember Dark Crystal was that the muppets?

My demons looked like they came out of a grade b science fiction flick, some great hairy demon with a single great horn sticking up out of his forehead. He just jumped out of the darkness into my dream field of vision. He snorted and grunted and growled at me, I snorted back so loudly it woke me, I went back to sleep and picked up the dream again, turns out it was a gorilla wearing one of those conical party hats, he just wanted to dance. Or maybe it was a she I dont know.

The ones I am trying to bring back from dream world looked like something I saw in a Chinese mythology, fierce looking demons, but nice guys once you got to know them.

It is night now
a long day's journey into sleep now.

I hardly ever dream about crazy mike,
the last couple were pretty good
I felt his love for me
If I asked him for a fish would he give me a stone

"god is not mocked except by believers"

what can I say
so many lost dreams I have
seldom dream about Vietnam, I have a couple of times. The worst nightmares were the ones that I woke from to realize that I was still in the nightmare even after I awoke. The last one was about twenty years ago when I was a guest at the Atoka Oklahoma county drunk tank. What a fine establishment that jail was. Right out of the old west. I kept dreaming I was out of jail back in my truck running down the road only to wake up back in jail again. Clay was in a couple of my jail dreams.
Hope I dont have no more like that, but it could happen again I suppose.
