10 Illusions

2010-09-03T18:11:00.002-06:00

1. God has an agenda (need exists)
2. The outcome of life is in doubt (failure exists)
3. You are separate from God (disunity exists)
4. There is not enough (insufficiency exists)
5. There is something you have to do (requirement exists)
6. If you don't do it, you'll be punished (judgment exists)
7. The punishment is everlasting (condemnation exists)
8. Love is therefore conditional (conditionality exists)
9. Knowing and meeting the requirements renders you superior
(superiority exists)
10. You do not know that these are illusions (ignorance exists).

During the last heatwave, while standing with my head in the freezer, I discovered a can of Bacardi Margarita mix, hidden away forEVER. I had no Bacardi, no tequila but had enough Crown Royal for half a can, threw in the rest of my Mt Dew and filled rest of the blender to the top with ice. Holy Green Squishie Homer! Totally worth the brain freeze.

Saddam Hussein has been executed by hanging shortly before 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Saturday 12/30/06. Saddam Hussein called on Iraqis not to hate the U.S.-led forces that invaded Iraq in 2003 in a farewell letter posted on a Web site Wednesday. "I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking," the letter said.

He should know.

The company IT guy came through town last month and downloaded some cd's from his cell phone to my PC. I listened to this at work all day then bought it that night. If you haven't heard it yet, go sample it and buy it. It's inspiring, very moving and has a great groove to it.

January 12, 2006 Big Head Todd and the Monsters at the Boulder Theater in Boulder CO, a sold out show. They played for hours! Great rock and soul and blues. Hazel Miller appeared as a guest vocalist with the band and just amazed everyone. The first concert of the year and it's off to a great start. After playing for hours, then they came out after the show and signed whatever you brought or bought. A very laidback and friendly band.

Favorite moment: during the song Circle when everyone in the audience yelled back the Yeah Yeah Yeah! part of the chorus. You could FEEL the energy there.

Favorite encore song: cover of Sly and the Family Stone's Everyday People.

I don't write all night
like I used to
and it worries me;

the less I have to say,
the more the guy
down the hall

appeals to me, the way
soul eyed tough guys
always have

sent me back to writing.
I am a parasite
sucking the marrow

from a heartache
I've already agreed upon;
anticipating

all that will precede it
and the fallout from which
there is no shelter.

TODAY'S FORECAST:Bitter, dangerous cold today as an arctic cold front slides in from the north. Tonight in Denver look for cloudy and very cold conditions with light snow... 1-3" and winds out of the northeast 10-15 mph. Lows near -3. Windchill values have already been well below zero and expect dangerous windchill values tonight and tomorrow. Wednesday will be even colder if you can believe that! Partly cloudy, bitter cold, light northeast winds and highs near 9 degrees! Wednesday night clearing and very cold with lows near -6!

did you know
if you fold a twenty dollar bill
just so
you can see the twin towers burning?

the new art museum is designed
to appear as if it fell down already
always conjures up that sickening day
who can even pray anymore

remember
they jumped hand in hand
kicking, unbelieving, turning one last time
one last look at blue sky

even shoeless children
are not spared from this
the absence of God
or is this the greatness? I get them confused

suicide bomber
be sure to meet them all
be sure to explain again
you signed up for a different kind of heaven
