the end of the world jam

[stilltrucking]

I was shocked to learn that the Jews believed in resurrection too. And I always thought I had soaked up Orthodox Judaism from my grandparents. I am still an ignorant child about the religion of my mothers and fathers before me.

Last week I was sitting in a doctors office updating my file for 2014 and I changed my religion from Judaism to the Religious Society of Friends. Not that I know anything more about the Quakers except
I was once one
once upon a time.

These are dark days
I wish I could afford to move to Haiti
cause I don't want to die in a Super 8 motel

a bright spot in my life tonight

It ends
When we cease to jam
Oh it's a comin
No doubt about that
All just a dream within a dream
Jam on ST

[stilltrucking]

thinking a lot about the drugs, was it all about the drugs those blue center lights popping?
how we create our nightmares. how my good intentions come back to bite me in the end. reexamine my life here.

so much worse now then it was when Dean and Sal was on the road. the drugs are so much harsher now.

there is a black cloud over all sucking the oxygen out of lives.

I want to say, run boy run. start a new life far from here.

up against the wall red neck parents
of course I can/t be any better than the worse I recognize.

I watched a bit on the news last night about aid workers in Haiti, what can I do to help, when I think I am helping but I am not.

nothing to do with the beats I guess.
worried about my little rock and roller that's all.

[WIREMAN]

Just saw my little rock n roller
on the train home....Lisa
Coming back from Richmond
Seeing her boyfriend in the band....GWAR
Saw another little beauty I know

All we can do is dedicate to the goddess ST.

ten four on the goddess
She has a lovely smile

[WIREMAN]

Swamp me
Stomp me
Jam me
slam me
Devoured by the goddess
Pockets picked
Heart sunk
Wore out
Where's that bottle of rum?

I used to spend a lot of time worrying about death. Not just death but "A good Death" I wanted to die a good death. To die like the guy in the movie Legends of the Fall who dies fighting a grizzly bear. Or a warrior dying with his boots on. Then I came to my senses and realized it is not ones death that matters, it is the life he has lived.

Navajo Eschatology
Death or, Is Life Worth Leaving?
According to Navajo tradition, when a person is born the principle of life—breath or "wind"—is put in the body by the Holy People. At death, the "wind" emerges from the spirals of the fingertips and becomes a chindi. Infants who die very young and the elderly who have lived a long and full life do not produce chindi. Interestingly, some infants who die very young are "buried" in trees.

St Jack left no chindi to trouble the living blessed be his memory. He left a legacy of beautiful books and poems.

I don't know how much of this is true. He judges St Jack a blasphemer. But I think Jack was a beautiful cat.

He was watching television the morning of October 20, eating tuna fish out of the can, sipping whiskey, and scribbling a note. There was a pain in his stomach. He made it to the bathroom in time to vomit a waterfall of blood. His liver, long cirrhotic, had finally hemorrhaged. The blood filled Jack's chest and welled up into his throat.

"It was a good death..."

I am tired too, I will lay me down and rest awhile and do it again tomorrow.
I am done with women, and they are done with me, but still lust gnaws me.

pickers of bones, I don't want to study on St Jack's death no more.
study on his work in life that matters

[the mingo]

wow i'm not in the right mood to jam this - i'd need to wake a-l-l the way up - or down - gonna go watch some train videos on tubeyou until i do - they always help -

[stilltrucking]

music the only thing that can help me now
is to dance
exercise my demon and jam
exorcism in witting

jam east and west cold and hot
a Buddhist demonology
toleration for Zen saints

Jack walked among the shadows
in the borderland between The Christ and The Buddha
and I think about the persistence of a lie

Adam blamed eve and Eve blamed adam

but the snake did not have a leg to stand on

sign I saw outside the new berlin Lutheran church yesterday

Interpreting Scripture: Medieval Interpretations
Overview
The principles of interpreting the New Testament in this course assume a historical critical perspective. The historical critical method of interpreting a text privileges the intended meaning of the ancient author, the interpretation of a text's original audience, the original language the text was written in, and the avoidance of anachronism. However, for most of the last two thousand years, this has not been the method of interpretation of the Bible. Pre-modern interpreters, such as Origen and Augustine, felt free to allegorize and use the text as they saw fit. It was only through the Reformation and other events in modern history that the historical critical method became the predominant method of interpretation.
