b128 (10.10-1.2025): my doggy's poop don't stink

my doggy’s poop don’t stink
by anna owner   
 
my doggy’s poop don’t stink
my doggy’s growl (just fine)
my doggy does no wrong because my little doggy (mine)
____________________
 
·       i just left the bar/restaurant, where the bartender/waitress informed us that her neighbors were “assholes” because they complained about her dogs.

·       her little babies that sleep with her:
  o   4 great danes
  o   6 pit bulls
  o   two other “rescues”
    §  one of which who “sometimes” jumps over the neighbor’s fence and “pisses on things” but “doesn’t bother anyone.”
 

bitch, are you out of your vulcan mind?

 
you are the white trash that neighbors (of course) hate, because you can’t train your 12 dogs, goats, chickens, horses, etc. 
 
you are the problem, not the “asshole” neighbors.

* sometimes i wonder...

...if we aren't (already) living in a simulation: video-game performers who are kept alive by the gamer -- giving us the illusion of a potentially-better next moment.

some Superintelligent-een -- playing on its own simulated laptop (in his holographic-basement), creating and destroying worlds the way we (you-mans) think we do (in movies, in Plays)...

 game-ing.

if this is a sim-within-a-sim, and if i do have some sense of control over my destiny, then:

1. i might as well In-Joy it, 

2. i might as well get lost in the Play, and

3. i might as well bartend tonight, grateful for be-ing created (and played).

b128 (10.6-1.2025): when i was a queen

when i was a queen
by a. former queen   
 
when i was miss georgia
bikini and tight jeans
i won wet t-shirt contests, oh!
when i was in my teens
 
now i’m eighty-seven and i smile at way-back-when
what i’d give to have a chance to do it all again
____________________
 
·       i met miss gaston college (and her 80-something year-old husband) the other night, outside at the restaurant/bar. she noticed my t-shirt and said: “i was miss gaston college in 1967!”

·       they were ‘happily’ married, and more than happy to share the challenges of married life over the course of decades.

·       beyond her wrinkles, you could get a sense of her younger self: commanding attention, living the dream, and (of course) getting her man.

·       i hope that she was able to live her life to the fullest (with no regrets).

·       i promised to try to find her a throwback version of the college t-shirt, and i’ve found 2 for her.
 

😃

if humans are still around in 10-20 years, i wonder what i’ll be like in my 70s & 80s.

* update: i found two throwback-shirts (a his and a hers), and presented the t-shits to them at JR Cash's (outside, along the river) in typical lenny fashion. 

* depth charts

alternative title: the cagey vet

it doesn't matter where one is on the depth chart. the goal is to get into the game. the (societal) goal is to be the star-ter (or maybe even the closer).

my role has always been middle-relief: bring in the righty when things get tough for the starter. 

joal can give you a couple of good innings. he's got junk: fastball, slider, curveball, change-up... and a splitter. he's not a young-buck, anymore, but he can ball. he's cagey. he's experienced. he's a veteran.

he's not as good as he once was, but he's as good (once) as he all-ways was. [1]

the middle-reliever doesn't get the glory. he doesn't get the trophy-wife. he doesn't get the front-page reviews... but... he does get his perks (and his behind-the-scenes adoration).

he's moved-around on the depth chart, nowadays. there is always another young-buck, climbing the charts (baseball, football, rock stardumb)... but the cagey vet just balls. you can count on him.

someday, he will retire: with a confident smile, a nod to the sparce crowd, and self-respect.

...and "there's only one more big event after retirement." [2]

b128 (10.5-1.2025): who am i when...?

who am i when everything has been taken from me?
by moi    
 
who then am i (when)?
how am i (not) where?
what am i? (if something)
why am i (Now) Here?
____________________
 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TZ0HvNfVkA

in the (above) video, orion taraban mused that “who we are” is that which is left -- when everything that can be taken-away is taken-away. 

so:

 what can be taken from me?
·       home, cars, jobs, friends, family, country, limbs, life…
·       sight, sound, touch (e.g. physical senses)
·       reputation (ouch)
 
…but what does this leave, basil?
 
·       a sense of self (until ego-death, upon which it could be a “sense of All”)
·       gratitude (for great memories/experiences [e.g. education, travel, friendships])
·       gratitude… learning (from bad memories/experiences [e.g. guilt, regret, etc.])
 
so… if my sense-of-self can see beyond the veil (and into the connection with the All in the Big Play), then (in Reality), i am nowhere & nothing but gratitude -- for being allowed into this theater.

b128 (10.4-2.2025): what is toxic, really?

what is toxic, really?
by shesa toxic    
 
what is toxic, really?
what is toxic, blame
what is toxic, surely
what is toxic, shame
____________________
 
·       it is quite likely that your ‘masculine’ behavior is natural, and the shaming & blaming of you (for being natural) is toxic.
 
when toxicity is in the eye of the bee-holder, anyone can label any behavior of y/ours as ‘toxic’ if they feel that it is toxic – to them.  if they get stung, the problem, my brothers, is you.
 
to me, if a woman wears seductive clothing and acts in a seductive manner (with the intention of getting something/anything other than seduced), she is being toxic.
 
to me, if anyone shames you for being a man who behaves like a natural man (e.g. adventurous, attracted to women, aggressive, strong, muscular, passionate, driven, etc., etc.)…
 
…if anyone shames you for that, then the shamer is being toxic.

by ima all wet

i get off (on Pristine)

* live NOW

ladies and gentlemen:

it really doesn't matter if we are living in a simulation or if our world is about to implode from ASI, G5, Climate Change, Thermonuclear War, Nanobots, or a Mega-Pandemic of epic proportions.

live NOW.

all we have is now. even planning for the future takes place in the now. 

breathe. walk. slow-down. Love. connect. sense. immerse. detach. 

bite the apple in such a way as to taste its glory and glean its nutrients without needing more, without devouring, without consuming its seeds (its golden eggs), and without attachment.

kiss. touch. Love. experience.

do not fear the after-life.

live NOW.

b128 (9.30-1.2025): why can't we get along?

why can’t we get along?
by  t. hem iddle    
 
why can’t we get along?
in sport or bird or song
in politics (right/wrong)
why can’t we get along?
____________________
 
·       in relative worlds, differentiality is a given.
·       given differentiality, there must be apparent oppositicality.
·       oppositicality tends to dual.
 
duality battles/dances as us v. them, seminoles v. gators, right v. left, sun v. moon, etc.
 
the fights of the hummingbird prepares the species for the flight.  
 
from a Higher Perspective, seminoles v. gators = game. light v. dark = rotation (as does summer v. winter). right v. left = whole, or (in politics), the same team: laughing all the way to the pension-bank.
 
maybe we are all getting along & dancing, while the relativity of it appears (at this level) as conflict.

b128 (9.28-1.2025): game

games
by i. m. game    

alternative titles: 

game

she's got game

she plays games

 

she said “i don’t play games” i countered “babe, what’s in a name?”

shaming, taming, blaming, gaming

she: "oh!" 

she... plays

 games

____________________
 
·       her saying “i don’t play games” is part of her game!

·       when a being has unlimited suitors, and when that being is seeking the best suitor, s/he can either:
  a. sift through the masses, searching for that needle in a haystack, or
  b. convince the lesser-thans to eliminate themselves, hence thinning the pack.

---------------------------------

gentlemen... 

(ahem):

she is an expert at game. she has been playing the game since birth:
…since she wrapped daddy around her little finger, as an infant.
   …since she realized that her breasts had super-power.
      … since she first applied lipstick.
         … since her lip-bite-smile first made a man weak at the knees.

(okay, okay... it was above the knees)

            … since she first slipped into a tight pair of jeans, assessing her behind.
 

she …is (and has all-ways been)

 the expert, at game.

 

if she convinces you "not to play games," she just eliminated you from the field. 

you will become invisible. 

you will be (at most) "just a friend." 

your mission (should you choose to accept it) is: 

(1) to understand game, and 

(2) to become the master of yours.*

* (3) it goes without saying... to not believe everything she is saying.

• the cool thing to note... is that she is (maybe) being honest (sometimes) when she says that she "doesn't play games". 

like a fish might not be actively conscious of water, 

she might not be aware of the fact that 

her very existence is game!

last night (the flavor/savor)

you please her (then you crave her), that’s just how it goes

last night
____________________
 
rules (e.g. bed-time on a school night) are sometimes broken for a more significant rule (e.g. intimacy).
 
·       the average neophyte can get caught-up in expectations, turning a once-in-a-million experience into a need for another (or the chase of the next, even better moment).

·       the master, however, savors. s/he appreciates. s/he immerses he/r-self in gratitude.
 
i appreciate last night. the touch, the exploration, the dance of lightness & power, the conversation, the candidness, the double-trouble, the flavors …and the sensual favors.
 
intimacy: when two people can be themselves (open, honest, vulnerable, passionate) in the presence of acceptance, allowing, understanding, caring and sharing.
 
that’s just how it goes…
 

last night.

·       as humans mass-debate about how an advanced, superintelligent evolution might treat us… simply project yourself into how we consider the lives & times of mosquitos & pantry moths.

·       have humans eliminated species? have we hunted, for game? have we farmed other beings, for food? have we invented ways to mindlessly kill colonies of fire-ants?

·       do we bat-an-eye in regard to the plight of the pantry moth as we set-up traps in the kitchen? far from it.
