Skin in the Game

You're a poem with feet
a story with eyes
a song with emotions
and other body parts


checked out highstreetstories ? (mainly for Chch,  NZ peeps)

Cicadas are currently making lots of noise
more than a usual summer amount
there are many around
getting all up on my deck


Is life a practical joke we'll get to appreciate afterward?


Mastermind subjects of choice:
(feel free to ask random queries on these topics or not)

• The Beatles - Post Sgt. Pepper era
• Game of Thrones - Differences btwn books and TV
• Franchised Corporate Fast food - beginnings and marketing to children in 80s and 90s
• Sexiest women on the planet (spoiler alert: you all are!)

Don't give up now, unless you're addicted.

How to P*ss Everyone Off At Once

(I can't actually control things (ok maybe some on a superficial level, but...)
I can control my reaction to things.

I find it really hard to stay in the now...

I keep flicking off to other thoughts, need to learn to be in the present more.

Better stuff is not in the past and future, it's right now.

Only a quiet mind can be in the now)

This next thought won't go anywhere/far
so not sure why I am even giving it oxygen
you'll pretty much hate it and or shout it down
or someone will pay you to do similar activities
but should people with inherited wealth be excluded from taking up public office above a certain level? As they have never really had to deal with reality, have they?
Now I can already see some flaws and exceptions to my own idea, but really all this dynasty, feathering our own nest, spoilt few, sorta shit makes people ignore poverty or just not understand that live is a struggle. But I have to admit the dudes around the bus/train station with their begging signs piss me off too. So I am a complete f*cken hypocrite, just like all of us, but at least I can admit that shit, ya know...


Who would win in a one-on-one weapon-less street fight in real life...
out of Buddha and Christ*  ???
