Joint At The Hip

oh ironic

drugs increasingly coming in

to high demand luractive markets

because laws focus on symptoms

of addiction and abuse

never the causes of dependence

high prices just compound issues

and reward the people you're trying to stop

laws making them illegal

only increase the street value

shouldn't we let market forces decide

and not interfere in the market

by placing restrictions (e.g. bans)

on products

but ohhh i forgot you can only

use market forces as a justification

of proverty, starvation and price-gouging

not for aguing that although

drugs cause many problems

making them totally illegal and unregulated

is obviously not helping

I would like to see studies that

compare periods of prohibition

to other times when items are legal

just to see if people actually

use contraband more

when it is deemed

outside the law

ban sale and importation of certain narcotics

but sell liquor at the local shop

and target the youth demographic

dope the masses, only with taxable evils

the gangs will sort the rest

if the demand still exists and not confronted

then what use trying to restrict supply?

sorry we can only use that argument in regards to fossil fuels...

Every now and then I do this:

Time for some more quotes, repetition cut and paste, etc.

But if some one else already said it better then why not copy them?

They are quite interesting some of them, hopefully all of them...

Warning: Maybe slightly controversial too, for the rigid of thought.

• "The Old World buckles under its weight of statues: callous bishops, oily statesmen, lucky generals, all now attended only by pigeons." - Joe Bennett
• "We're all in this alone." - Lily Tomlin.
• "God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was quite the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilisation." - Christopher Hitchens.
• "We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people." -Arthur Schopenhauer.
• "We differ from dogs partly because of our vanity; we assume that what happens to us matters. And partly because of our emotions: we are the only beasts that laugh or cry. And partly because we have a sense of time. Like all creatures, we can live only in the here and now, but unlike them we hold on tight to the past." -Joe Bennett
• "A blog is not writing. It's graffiti with punctuation." -Unconfirmed source.

• "Art is science made clear." -Jean Cocteau.
• "The world abounds in ruined places of worship. Consider the great slabs of Stonehenge, the jungle-shrouded temples of the Incas, the towering columns of the Parthenon. All were built to gods we've no longer got, gods created by people to explain the mysteries of the world. Gods begin, in other words as bad science. In time they are institutionalised and are used as tools of government." - Joe Bennett.

A synopsis/analysis/literal translation of the song:

'Regulate' by Warren G and Nate Dogg

On a cool, clear night (typical to Southern California) Warren G travels through his neighborhood, searching for women with whom he might (snuggle). He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.

Nate Dogg, having just arrived in Long Beach, seeks Warren. On his way to find Warren, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. Regardless, he insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.

Warren makes a left turn at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, in the East Hill/Salt Lake neighborhood, where he sees a group of young men enjoying a game of dice together. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chagrin, he discovers they intend to relieve him of his material possessions. Once the hopeful robbers reveal their firearms, Warren realizes he is in a less than favorable predicament.

Meanwhile, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Warren. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Warren G, being held up by the young miscreants.

Warren, unaware that Nate is surreptitiously observing the scene unfold, is in disbelief that he is being robbed. The perpetrators have taken jewelry and a name brand designer watch from Warren, who is so incredulous that he asks what else the robbers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhetorical question.

Observing these unfortunate proceedings, Nate realizes that he may have to use his firearm to deliver his friend from harm.

The tension crescendos as the robbers point their guns to Warren's head. Warren senses the gravity of his situation. He cannot believe the events unfolding could happen in his own neighborhood. As he imagines himself making a fantastical escape, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Nate.

Nate has seventeen cartridges (sixteen residing in the pistol's magazine, with a solitary round placed in the chamber and ready to be fired) to expend on the group of robbers. Afterward, he generously shares the credit for neutralizing the situation with Warren, though it is clear that Nate did all of the difficult work. Putting congratulations aside, Nate quickly reminds himself that he has committed multiple homicides to save Warren before letting his friend know that there are females nearby if he wishes to fornicate with them.

Warren recalls that it was the promise of copulation that coaxed him away from his previous activities, and is thankful that Nate knows a way to satisfy these urges. Nate quickly finds the women who earlier crashed their car on Nate's account. He remarks to one that he is fond of her physical appeal. The woman, impressed by Nate's singing ability, asks that he and Warren allow her and her friends to share transportation. Soon, both friends are driving with automobiles full of women to the East Side Motel, presumably to consummate their flirtation in an orgy.

The third verse is more expository, with Warren and Nate explaining their G Funk musical style. Warren displays his bravado by daring anyone to approach the style. There follows a brief discussion of the genre's musicological features, with special care taken to point out that in said milieu the rhythm is not in fact the rhythm, as one might assume, but actually the bass. Similarly the bass serves a purpose closer to that which the treble would in more traditional musical forms. Nate displays his bravado by claiming that individuals with equivalent knowledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyrical mastery. Nate goes on to note that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find themselves in a state of intoxication almost daily (from Nate's other works, it can be inferred that the substance referenced is marijuana[8]). Nate concludes his delineation of the night by issuing a threat to "busters," suggesting that he and Warren will further "regulate" any potential incidents in the future (presumably by engaging their antagonists with small arms fire).

Ok so we all have decent enough internet connections these days, that me putting a bunch-o-pics on here, is not gonna mean you have to sit there for half an hour waiting for the hourglass to stop spinning? Is it? Agreed! Yay! I like consensus. Democracies are sooooooo messy, all that compromise and debate, then no one gets what they want... Whereas dictatorships have brilliant uniforms, trains that run on time with precision efficiency and a big stick to clobber any complaining weasels with dissenting opinions that aren't on board for the big win. Leaving only one over-arching, non-rhetorical, anti-conformist question remaining; hoovering like a bad smell or insect, above the elephant in the room... "When did you become a nut-bar?" The cries rang out, as machine-gun fire pierced the air in celebration, mixing sports, politics, warfare and prejudice into several imaginary allegories of moral confusion and disconnection from the natural environment. That we had learnt so much about from our time in windowless buildings full of other disenchanted homo sapiens. Boredom is a symptom of time, like life is a symptom of death. More details to follow, that will surely confirm what you had previously thought was nonsense, but never the missing link that barely matters either way.

Silent Analysis

Time for me to try something new?

Or just copy, copy, copy??

I just want to put the lyrics of two songs here and not make any comment at all, except for people to drawn their own conclusions, based on their own feelings and experience.

Just read them and see how you might think they are related.

I may have an opinion or bias, but you will have to guess it your self.

Go Outside - The Cults:

I really want to go out

I really want to go outside and stop to see your day

You really want to hole up

You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

I really want to go out

I really want to go outside and make it light all day

You really want to hole up

You really want to stay inside and not care where you lay

Well I know what's good

Exactly cause I have been there before

Yeah I know what's good

Exactly those things night cannot behold

I really want to go out

I really want to go outside and stop to see your day

You really want to hole up

You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

I think it's good to go out

cause if you don't you'll never make a memory that will stay

I think that you should wake up

I think I want to live my life and you're just in my way

Baby Said - Hot Chip

my baby said she wanted some action

i said baby, i can't give you that

like children my mind is filled with playtime

but why must i go out into the cold?

my life is inside, we're safe, we can hide

NB: I could give you a few questions/ideas to consider, but I would feel too much like I'm spoon-feeding you and trust me you would get sick of that. Isn't it better to have a mystery to solve yourself? You can't cheat in the maze of life, oh wait yes you can...

p.s It's ALL psychological.

Constant Conflict

Want to entertain, as that is what interests

But in a meaningful way that will stand the test of time

Give the people what they want but also what they need

A way to express and to cope without letting it win

In time determination will triumph over novelty

Aspiring for variety but achieving mediocrity

Get the basics right and the rest will follow

Mixing things that interest me with the odd new idea

Spreading the message of enlightened critique

Enthusiasm for the unknown or non-existent

Would you sell-out if you could?

What about if you had to?

The General Specific (I'm Invisible)

Making sense of it all yet?

Cos I'm still kind of confused and finding out that

the more I know, the less I really know...

I mean ya think one thing is certain

and then it goes and changes on ya

No one is really right! Right?

cos there is far too much stuff for us to ever know

like tidal waves of avalanches of untamed knowledge

that has lasted over the years and only grown

larger and more accessible in the internet age

if that is indeed a term that anyone will use

a hundred years from now

I'm not trying to confuse you further (or am I?)

but I just don't think I will work it all out, any time soon

if at all, but I just like taking heaps of wild guesses

and see if I can get one right, but there's always an exception

everything is Just too big really isn't it Toto...

One man's obscure reference, is another's cliché

variety is the spice of different stuff

but if you find what you like, don't pull it apart

unless you are really good at putting it back together

and as long as pulling it apart won't wreck it

temporary portable virtual jargon holistic nonsense

sorry I drifted into buzzwords there for a moment

I am just saying that I can't sum it up into words

but if you put it all together and then forget it again

your almost halfway there...

Where is your spirit going when you die?

who is to say it's not there now?

why would something so existential as a spirit be limited by physics?

does it have to be attached to you?

could it not be infinite?

are our dreams a preview of the afterlife?

will we get to play in our own minds/memories for all eternity?

I should probably not try to work this weird stuff out

but I've got a bit of time to think, so I really can't help it...

The joke isn't:

I have far more questions than answers

and none of them are easy

hope this doesn't sound the least bit tragic

cos I am someone who likes thinking about oddities

I guess I would like some answers too

I mean, who wouldn't want some of those??

but am getting better at accepting

that they don't always exist, to my knowledge

if your happy, your in heaven already...

deeper than than the sea

wider than the universe

and like that! He's gone...

Not To Be Taken Literally Or Orally

"Desiderata" - Max Ehrmann

Desiderata. Desiderata. Desiderata.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender,
Be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others -
Even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons - they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career -
However humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is.
Many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love.
For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
It is as perenial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years,
Gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune,
But do not distress yourself with imaginings -
Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe.
No less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
Keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy.

(But wait there's more...)

"Deteriorata" - National Lampoon

You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.
Deteriorata. Deteriorata.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
Take heart in the bedeepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up*!

Ok so pretty sure now it is/was the indoor weather-station thingy (WST) causing the image mangling. I did the bottom two pics with it on, then turned off (took out the batteries) the WST to do the others, it slowly came right...

Starting to Suck Now

I'm starting to get sick of what is happening to these pics

and I have a new theory...

I think my wireless connection has been disturbed/distorted

since Xmas day, when we set up an indoor weather station

with outdoor remote sensor, I think that must be interfering

with the wireless signal somehow, does that sound likely?

damn it , I was just getting used to knowing the humidity levels
