Disneyland

 My first experience with Disneyland was when I was but a toddler (I was born in Anaheim). I remember the picnic tents and the Matterhorn mountain. It was fun.

As I grew up I realized I loved that place (my thoughts have changed in the interim). I grew up in the 60s and every year my family would go to Disneyland. It was a magical place. I had nothing to escape from, but I became part of a dream. I could go to a place where my thoughts were real and I could live in a different world. 

My father loved to tease us and once he realized I was scared to death of "Snow White" he would make a point of taking us on this ride every year (I would close my eyes through the whole ride and he seemed to enjoy that.) Fantasyland was awesome in spite of my trepidation. Sleeping Beauty's castle has alway made me happy. There used to be a food place where they served tuna sandwiches called "Captain Hooks" on a pirate ship in this wonderful land.  They would put plastic swords in the sandwiches and it was part of the dream. We would ride the "Tea Cups", fly with "Dumbo", and tour "The Matterhorn". This is part of the dream.

Tomorrowland was wondrous. Cars that kids could drive, a spectacle of future living (Carousel of Progress), and Moon flights. I especially loved the submarine ride and the rocket ships. As I grew older I enjoyed their band stand, "People Mover", and "America, the Beautiful" experience in 360 degree wonder. Good times.

My mother loved the "Tiki Hut" (she loved "It's a Small World" too, but I hated it.) and so did I. Adventureland was an experience I have always loved. We would travel to the "Jungle Cruise" and I would revel in the fear and wonder of Africa. We would climb the tree house and walk and do things. The "Mark Twain" was a nice distraction. 

I eventually came to love this place because of the added land of "New Orleans Square". Two rides dominated my fantasy at this juncture. "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Haunted Mansion. Words cannot express my joy and wonder while experiencing these attractions. Once I was old enough to go on my own I would head to this place first.

Disneyland was a magical place and forever ingrained in my mind.

I am disappointed


in what it has become.

I, Idiot


Become nothing,

Renounce everything.

Laughing and playing,

We become...


Something more,

or less.

I am an idiot,

You are not.


Become something,

Praise everything.

Something less,

or more.


This world shuns us,

I am an idiot.

A thinking world becomes what we fear,

Of this fear, you are not.


Faith gives me little hope,

Charity becomes my only hope.

I am an idiot,

You are not.


Faith, hope, and charity become sins,

When we forget.

I am an idiot,

You are not.

It is time to burn this bridge.


I can only look forward to this country getting worse as long as rich fucks rule.

Incubation


Image result for perpetual love

I awoke one day,
And on this day it spawned.
I wanted the world to be forever,
And it wasn't..

Life makes me what I am.
Despite my hates.
Despite my wants.

I fell asleep one day,
And on this day it perished.
I needed a world of love,
And it failed...

Hope makes me what I am,
With all my hates,
With all my needs.

I walk through the world today,
And find a people wanting.
Needing,
Sleep as part of death...

Police and the Lies we Hold to be Truth



We have lived in a world where we have had smoke pumped up our ass for so long that we accept it as normal.

Here is a tidbit of truth...

There is no objective Media. (money is the crux of their existence).

What will it take to have a person in AUTHORITY say that this shit is wrong?

There must be a moral cop somewhere?

I had a person come up to me and say that cops don't like corruption and they treat "bad" cops worse than criminals. If this were true then we (the public) should be hearing about this because our faith in law enforcement is going down the crapper. Why is this a secret and who the fuck is telling you that it should be.

Police State: police state is a country in which the government controls people's freedom by means of the police, especially secret police. The FBI and the CIA have haunted us since the post WW1 (FBI) and WW2 (CIA) years. These are secret police. If you study the history of regular police in the US then you have studied the ways and means of the elites (1%) and their facility to control.

Control is the key word and if we look at the elites who lost the Civil War we see a unique use of control. For a thorough look at the elites who won this war we only have to look at our faces in the mirror. The US became rich and the majority of its people failed and became poor.

In the Southern states the development of American policing followed a different path. The genesis of the modern police organization in the South is the "Slave Patrol." The first formal slave patrol was created in the Carolina colonies in 1704. Slave patrols had three primary functions: (1) to chase down, apprehend, and return to their owners, runaway slaves; (2) to provide a form of organized terror to deter slave revolts; and, (3) to maintain a form of discipline for slave-workers who were subject to summary justice, outside of the law, if they violated any plantation rules. Following the Civil War, these vigilante-style organizations evolved in modern Southern police departments primarily as a means of controlling freed slaves who were now laborers working in an agricultural caste system, and enforcing "Jim Crow" segregation laws, designed to deny freed slaves equal rights and access to the political system.

My point is that of all the multitude of people in authority in this fucked up country there must be a few strong and intelligent people who see what our "leaders" are doing to US.

I am not holding my breath...

Blinded by Science




      All present life must end in order to replenish future life.

     We are stardust; a twinkle gathered and redistributed at a point in time and space.

     We shine with both the fire of the sun and the reflective glow of the moon.

     Treat each other well for this is the best we can do.
