b123 (5.5-1.2025): "let jesus take the wheel"

       let jesus take the wheel [i]
 by ima believah
 
it jesus take the wheel
(except on 95)
(except when on my boat)
(except when my kids drive)
 
let jesus take the wheel
(except, well, every day)
let jesus take the wheel
it’s just some sh-- we say
________________________________
 
·       christians wear shirts and post signs that say lots of silly sh-- at others.

·       would you want to drive on a busy highway if believers really believed that they could just “let jesus take the wheel”?

·       god knows (that you know) that the last thing you’d want to do is sit-back, close your eyes, and ‘trust’ that you’ll be ‘saved’.

hypergamy is real [i]
by e. goic
 
hypergamy is rampant (it’s just part of the deal)
hypergamy (enchantment)
hypergamy is real
________________________________
 
·       the manosphere tends to poo-poo ‘female’ hypergamy as if it is some type of horrific behavior…  while failing to re-cognize that male egos do the exact, same thing!

·       Truth is… every living ego is hypergamous.

·       any sentient being (including ASI) with options -- is going to seek-out and pursue those options in order to confer its own best survival/thrival.

      * cooking, eating, hummingbirding, walking, exercise, etc., etc., etc., etc. 

* high-t frequency

lately, my testosterone has been sky-high.

i've had more aggression, more road-rage desires, and less patience (with apparent idiots).

i need to analyze why... and take corrective action.

fake science on the airwaves [i]
by a. yogi & n. ott  
 
fake science on the airwaves
fake science in the news
fake pseudo-science doctors who pay pseudo-science dues
fake money-making sponges, who prey on thoughtless minds
fake science on the airwaves
fake science is unkind

·       don’t lie to people by telling them that pseudo-scientific b.s. can cure cancer, end aging, and ‘channel’ beings who know what the Universe is thinking or how it is aligning or/and what we should do to benefit from the Universal Energy.
 
·       don’t bullsh-- gullible people!
 
on the other hand, maybe gullible people should be gullied.  more to follow, once i channel my inner-Universal Child’s past lives, energetic vortices, and quantum-reiki-cosmic-qi.

b123 (5.1-1.2025): marriage

marriage [i]

by ioutta b. committed    

 

the reasons for marriage are many, and many of those reasons are flawed.

 

1.     love

  a.     love is possible (even more likely) without marriage.

2.     companionship

  a.     companionship (usually in the form of cohabitation) is possible without marriage.

  b.     the person with fewer assets will benefit more from cohabitation.

  c.      the person with less physical security will benefit more from cohabitation.

3.     economics

  a.     the person with less a$$ets will benefit more from legal union.

  b.     there may actually be economic benefits to divorce.

4.     children

  a.     it is believed that children are better-off when raised in a stable family with two, married adult parents.

  b.     children will (usually) have the same last names as their parents.

5.     the party

  a.     the wedding ceremony is a chance to show-off that one actually has successfully gotten someone else to make a lifelong promise.

  b.     friends & family unite… or at least come together in celebration.

6.     ownership

  a.     often a subliminal reason for marriage. 

  b.     the idea that one person can possess another’s love, intentions, and even thoughts.

7.     promise of forever

  a.     a leap of faith often made without really thinking the process through.

8.     sex

  a.     more, better sex was (maybe) a reason (for some, in the past).

  b.     the truth is that the best sex is probably experienced outside of marriage (for most).

  c.      sex often wanes with familiarity, life-proximity, stress, responsibilities, children, etc.

9.     fidelity

  a.     even though this is implied (overtly & covertly), many break this overt/covert promise physically, mentally and emotionally.

10.  security

  a.     ask everyone who has ever gotten married if marriage made them feel more secure.

  b.     ask the 50% who divorced, the 25% who are miserable, and the large percentage who cheat.

 

 

reasons to avoid marriage:

 

1.     divorce

  a.     in truth, many (women) benefit from divorce law.

  b.     many, many a man has “lost half of his s---” via divorce.

2.     relationship hell

  a.     relationships often devolve.  especially those that are built on promises made due to passion, needs, and insecurities.

3.     love

  a.     most people can’t even define love, let alone depend upon it.

  b.     romantic love (often) wanes.

  c.      broken love is one of the most hurtful things that one will experience.

4.     companionship

  a.     marriage is more like bondage than companionship.

  b.     if you have to be a companion (because of a law or promise), it often feels more like a forced-togetherness… which is a recipe for relationship hell.

5.     economics

  a.     most men lose resources in relationships, and especially in marriage.

6.     children

  a.     children are a huge undertaking.

  b.     children are a huge responsibility.

  c.      children are a huge financial burden.

  d.     children are a huge heartbreak.

  e.     children are a huge stressor.

  f.       while (good) children can be one of life’s greatest experiences, one bad child can be one of life’s worst nighmares.

  g.     even if children are “good kids,” there are numerous reasons why life is easier without children.

7.     the party

  a.     a waste of $$$.

  b.     could be done much more economically, without marriage.

  c.      a huge stressor.

  d.     usually all about the female-energy.

8.     ownership

  a.     the unspoken side-effect of legally sanctioned vague & unrealistic promises.

9.     promise of forever

  a.     most can’t even promise tomorrow.

10.  loss of freedom

  a.     the elimination of options (mostly for the man) for the person who is most likely to value options.

11.  responsibilities

  a.     marriage invites an unending, relentless supply of responsibilities.

12.  end of competition

  a.     another fake benefit (for the man) that actually results in less respect, less passion, and less sex.

13.  sexlessness

  a.     the very antithesis of why most men marry.

b123 (4.30-1.2025): i don't care...

i don’t care to be first-tier [i]

by seco n. d. tier    
 
Beta-plus-plus (happy)
Beta-plus-plus (ease)
Beta-plus-plus (single)
Beta-plus-plus (please!)
Beta-plus-plus isn’t biggest fish in the small pond
Beta-plus-plus (happy)
 
yes, it’s time to spawn
______________
 
 
·       Alpha is the king.  he is the leader.  as the “biggest fish in the pond” he attracts the 9s-10s, but:
  o   Alpha has the leadership responsibilities, leading to less fun.
  o   Alpha has Alpha-minuses, waiting to take his spot.
    §  the Alpha-minuses are sooooo focused on usurping the Alpha -- that they are often no fun at all.
  o   the 9s-10s (supermodel-level) are (often) the highest maintenance.
    §  the 9s-10s also set the social tone for other 9s-10s.
    §  some of Alpha’s harem want a more fun fish and will often swim on over to one with fewer ‘responsibilities’.

·       notice the second-tier B++ (who is not seeking to be king):
  o   he still has a harem (of 5-8s… who are much, much more fun than the 9s-10s).
    §  since he has a harem, others will want to be a part of that harem.
  o   he has little responsibility and flies under the radar.
  o   he lives a very, very, very, VERY happy life, growing old gracefully  & smiling (at ease).
 
in the final analysis, Alphas (and the 9s & 10s) are going to hit their walls.  if they haven’t cultivated personality, they (in the pack) will be left behind, unwanted and growing-old unhappily.
 
B++ will have made many happy, will have avoided empty-commitments, will have experienced less stress, and will have had options... for life.  at a minimum, he will be happy -- be-ing himself.
 
i don’t care to be first-tier.

b123 (4.29-2.2025): downward-facing dog

      downward dog [i]
by a. yogi & n. ott  
 
as if, at once, i was one:
a whirlpool in the fog
a graveyard-spiral (plus 1)
a yogic, downward, dog
________________________________
 
·       born a male/dog, i howled.

·       i learned the love languages, the active listening, the “what a girl wants,” etc.

·       time after time, the downward spiral of a relationship pointed to the fact that i was a dog, and not as yogic as i’d tried to be.

·       is it possible that we (both men and women) are all… just downward facing dogs?

      * a "graveyard spiral" is a tragic attempt (by a pilot who is lost in his own clouds) to correct (while over-correcting).  no visual, dependence upon human proprioception, and a failure to pay attention to the instruments.

b123 (4.28-1.2025): when anger rules the day

when anger rules the day [i]
by ima angry
 
when anger rules the day
there is no end in sight
there is no come what may
when anger rules the night
 
when anger rules, it just refuels (reciprocal/repay)
when anger rules the night, alright:
when anger rules the day
________________________________
 
·       why do i get so angry? 

·       is my anger stronger than most other humans?

·       is my love deeper than other humans?  why do i care so much?
 
one thing is for certain: unleashing anger will invite reciprocation, which will be a bad thing.

* i'm glad...

 ...that i don't know the names of the latest celebrities, that i don't know the newest shows, and that i don't have a clue as to what is going-on (in the media).

it's been over 30 years (without tv), and i simply don't care to know what everybody else knows.

i don't even care. 

b123 (4.27-1.2025): why [why should i care]?

 
why (why should i care)? [i]
by ima n. o. caring
 
why?  why should i care?
about the time, or day
about the rhythm, rhyme
about the act (or Play)
about the next event
about the truth (or dare)
about the word: prevent
why?  why should i care?
________________________________
 
·       when there is nothing you can do about the inevitable, why care?

·       when the universe is created in your mine[d], however, caring paves the way for future experiences.

·       caring matters.

* shift

 so... for the better part of my life, i've believed that the ultimate high was to be with a woman.  what i'm re-cognizing, Now, is that the Ultimate -- is to be with myself (writing, contemplating, Be-ing). 

b123 (4.26-1.2025): gonna die: two hours

 
gonna die (2 hours) [i]
by ima gonna die
 
gonna die (2 hours)
not a lot to say
wish i had more time to be with you, right here, today
________________________________ 
 
·       when you are about to die, the only thing you will want is to be with what/whom you love, Now.

·       the question (prior to that moment) becomes:
  o   what do i love, Now?
  o   who do i love, Now?
  o   how can i give something that might be remembered… Now?
