when nothing happens...

when nothing happens… [1]
by jaol
 
in regard to the “january 6^th hearings” saga, the pussified democrats are jumping for joy (at present).  

have they forgotten that the bully-republicans have (again and again and again and Again and AGAIN to the 100,000th power) completely ignored any evidence regarding any behavior (by themselves) that they would completely crush (if the pussified democrats did it)?
 
once again, everyone on the left tunes-in, and they get all excited about “justice.”
 
on the right???  bully-leaders and culted followers watch the foxy newsmakers.
 

the result of all of this… when nothing happens… is the worst-case scenario:

 

the lesson?

 

they can be proven to be responsible for an insurrection/coup of the u.s.a.

they can be proven to be liars…

they can be proven deniers and cover-up artists…

…and they can get away with it.

 
next time… count on it.
 
i should probably just move out of the country now, while it is still possible.

:)

i watch the weather change

i watch the weather change [1]
by anna overcast son
 
i watch the weather change
as day turns into night
as spring turns into summer
as storm approaches (sight)
as cold turns into hot
as night turns into day
as it becomes (it’s not)
i watch the weather change
_________________________________

·       watching the weather change gives me the living, tangible experience of life’s fluidity.

·       weather, animals, people (and therefore, relationships) continually morph… in front of my eyes.

·       it’s strange, in a way, how i’d like the good times and good vibes and good relationship moments to stay the same… ignoring the obvious: they won’t.

·       the in-sight (for me anyway), is to put-in-the-work and to continually observe and to continue to be objective, even when love blows me away.

·       in the end, Love IS. 

·       my mission, here (should i choose to accept it), is to tap into Her, to Know He/r, and to hold my-self up to the highest of standards.

slowly yet powerfully…

healing them.

prime/whole number Heaven
not to be outdone
summon one-eleven
________________________________
 
·       in book 111, I’ll attempt to examine love, Love and Love’s perspective (the ego).

·       it (of course) will be an exercise in futility, since love has never been aptly described in a way that is Universally accepted.

·       the fading and loss of love will also be examined.

the Truth

the Truth...is that a girl/woman in a bikini is one, teeny-tiny bit of cloth/ing away from some serious s---ing and fu---ing.

anyone who might deny that... is simply in denial. 

can't re-lease without catch

“can’t release without catch” [1]
by ima old
 
old man with a fly rod
said he met his match
spoke about his lease-on-life:
“can’t release without catch”
 

can’t release without catch (although straightforward as it seems)

depends upon the bait (and the desire to be seen)

maybe it's alluring to be-get and be attached

not so reassuring:

"can't release without catch" 

 
old man with an old fly rod
said he met his match
caught himself (debating)
“can’t re-lease without catch”
________________________________
 
·       maybe… the thrill of the catch and the thrill of the hunt is innate, or maybe it’s up to us… to mass-debate, relate, and (at some point) accept fate.
 
but then, again, maybe not.

________________________________ 

·       the “you’re” in “you’re non-committal” gives it all away.
·       it is projection.
·       the translation is this: “i am afraid that you won’t (blindly) commit (forever) to my cray-cray.”

if...

if (1) massage chairs could give blowjobs, and if (2) every household could afford one, the ritual of dating would come to a screeching halt.

luckily (for restaurants, flower shops and chocolate factories), that version of the massage robot is not (yet) affordable.
