Take your head out of your ass!

Selling a gig—There are three types or categories of artists: Visual, Sound and Thought. The Visual artists are: painters, sculptors, illustrators, dancers, etc. The Sound artists are: musicians or anything that has to do with sound performance. The Thought artists are: writers. The Visual artists have it the easiest to sell their material compared to the other two forms of artistry. The Sound performers grab the attention of potential buyers with sound through radio broadcast or other forms of listening-media venues. As for writers, they have the most difficult and daunting task to sell their art-work; they do not have a visual canvas nor do they have a musical platform. Potential buyers have to base their reasoning on what they see (Visual) and hear (Sound) from critics; if they do not like what they see or hear and if they cannot relate to the material or subject matter they will not support that specific artist. Writers are their own salesman, marketers and managers, whereas Visual and Sound artists can remain incognito and still be recognized and praised for their works. Take, for instance, the music band Kiss; no one knew their true identity for years. They wore make-up and costumes (Visual) and performed (Sound). People became fixated on the unknown, not simply because they wore make-up and costumes, but because of their stage performance. The unknown became the fascination of what people saw and heard. The consumer did not need to be convinced to further their support of Kiss; their motivation was not Kiss, it was the fascination of what will be. Writers need to convince their audience to become motivated to purchase something that they may or may not like. That is the difference between a Visual/Sound artist and a writer. What would you think of an author who, whenever he sat down to write books, would wear make-up and put on a costume? You would think he’s a freak and needs psychological help. The Visual and Sound artists can work together; the writers remain alone, only being able to use visuals on the cover to catch the publics eye. Less and less people are reading books and more and more people are watching tv, playing videogames and listening to music; which forces the writers of the world to become more creative. As we have all seen, there are pop-up books (Visual) and even books containing sing-a-longs with musical pages (Sound). Whatever happened to simply reading a book? Without writers, history would be lost. Without writers, musicians would be out of business. Without writers, humanity will become extinct. There are countless Art museums as well museums for Musicians. There are even museums for sports! But there are no museums allocated primarily for writers. When you read a book you will experience the full throttle of all artistry combined. Let’s do ourselves a favor and support the writing world by reading a book and enjoy the artistry behind it.

Shit for brains—I had my head up my ass for many years; now that it’s out I am washing it from the ages of concocted shit. Many people have the- wrong perception of what it is to be brainwashed; brainwashing is to first remove your head from your ass then clean the shit that other people have implanted. Far too many people still have their heads way up in their asses, which can be best described as having Shit for brains. It’s time to wash the shit out from our minds and start thinking on our own. Ass nuggets! Be Brain Washed not Brain Warped!!!

Doggy Style—We humanized dogs by way of our speech. We refer to them as he and she and girl or boy whereas we call other animals by it or they. Where’s my boy? Yeeeeeah, there’s my booooy. You’re a good boooooy aren’t you?—With cats it’s more like—Here kitty kitty kitty. Hey Bill where’s your cat? Uh, it’s put away. With dogs it more like. Hey Joe, where’s Duke? Duke is outside playing with the kids. Cats, fish and birds are just for show; low maintenance show-pieces. Dogs are to impress company and use as a babysitter and to be included in the family, especially during holidays. It brings me great joy when dogs disobey and shit in the house or better yet throw up on their owner’s bed. I love it. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, but I prefer cats. I look at it this way. Dogs were used primarily for protection and serving the human-being, now they have become more glamorized; a real dog is an ass biting beast. Men are most commonly called dogs.—All men are dogs! I’m sure you’ve heard that before. My point is this, I prefer cats over dogs for the simple reason being, I don’t need to attempt to show off my masculinity by owning a dog; dog owners are insecure and are too needy, plus dogs are used to replace the children people don’t want or have time for because of their lame ass career. Also, dogs tend to show-off their dick and balls and even hump legs on many occasions. I don’t know about you but I’ve never been humped by a cat. I just can’t allow myself to have a friend who likes to hump my leg and show me his balls; in my eyes, that’s not man’s best friend, it’s more like an annoying neighbor who won’t leave you alone. Getting back to my point, dogs are associated as being more beast-like than cats. To me, owning a dog is like having a very lazy, horny, perverted, disgusting and sloppy roommate. Cats are cleaner, cuter, potty-trained and loyal—everything unlike a dog. So there you have it folks. I like dogs and they do matter in the animal world, but dogs are for women and cats are for men.

Chopsticks—Why are Chopsticks called Chopsticks? It is impossible to chop food with Chopsticks. A more appropriate name should be Poke Sticks or Squeeze Sticks or better yet Pick-up-Sticks.

The Pledge of Allegiance—The American School system refuses to allow teachers to speak about God but they are given permission to preach about Scientology, Evolution and other anti-Godly topics. So why allow the Pledge of Allegiance in the school system? There is no education in it nor does it help with any form of education. All it is is a tool to further control and suppress creative minds. These schools start enforcing this ritual as early as Preschool!! The first thing children learn before the alphabet and numbers and even how to write their own name is pledging allegiance to something other than God. So what’s the big deal you may ask? What’s the harm? There is no reason why anyone living anywhere must be forced to pledge allegiance to the land which they live. Living in a land does not mean that land owns you and you owe the land owners. Besides, the Pledge of Allegiance is just a big joke anyway. Do a little research on the words and you’ll see how much bullshit has been added to it. Happy pledging, nitwits!

Sylvester’s Meatloaf—Although I am not too thrilled for his music, I think Meatloaf is one of the greatest music entertainers of all time. Think about it. He is a Director, a Poet, a Theatrical Performer, an Artist, a Conductor, and the list goes on and on. I have the same appreciation toward Sylvester Stallone. He is the only person who has ever accomplished Writing, Directing and lead-acting in two of the greatest movie Epics of all time (Rocky and Rambo). These two great artists are the types of guys that haven’t had the typical Hollywood syndrome happen to them. We need more artists like them.

Holy Shit—Is there such a thing as unholy Shit? I am not sure if there really is holy shit. What does holy shit smell like? Where does it come from? Does it come out with a hallow around it?

Possessed—It’s interesting how having possessions (stuff) is spelled the same as being possessed.

The Resting Law—The sun brings life wherever it shines. People bring pain when they’re awake. The sun causes calmness at dusk. People cause pain at dawn. I find it kind of interesting that mankind shuts-down with the sun. This is an amazing part of creation that will never be understood. Why can’t people just reverse their habitual practice of rest? Anyone who has ever worked the night-shift will attest that their body never gets used to the hours. In the Qur’an, God says that He has Made the Night as Rest for the Human-beings. He has programmed our bodies to submit to the will of rest; willingly or unwillingly, we cannot refuse it. This is where the human-beings have gone wrong. We try to change every Law that God has set. By doing so our bodies are refusing and acting against our intentions. Without properly submitting to God’s Rest law, our lives become imbalanced and this is where fighting, violence, confusion, war, crime, etc come into play. The world would be better off if we just slept at the prescribed time.

Catching-up—Have you ever tried catching-up on your reading? Is that even possible? I can understand if you have an assignment due or something to read for work, but if you are leisurely reading it is impossible to catch-up on reading simply because there is no end to what there is to read. The same applies to folks who say There aren’t enough hours in the day to finish my job. Even if there were 100 hours in the day our day-to-day tasks will never end. Face it folks, we will never catch-up on what there is to be read nor will we ever catch-up on time. Slow down and relax!

Winners and losers—They’re Alive read the Headline of the Red Eye newspaper on October 22nd 2007. The Headline was directed toward the Chicago Bears football team. The most common interest of the average news-watcher or paper-reader is, winning and losing. People want to hear and read about winners not losers. The more alarming stories that need much attention were masked behind the Headline and front-page glamour of the Bears. Inside this newspaper were stories of—A nun being forced to resign from her position at a monastery due to her ethnicity not being that of White (Caucasian), she was a Philippine in an all White congregation; A man released from jail after being proven innocent; A teacher retired after authorities suspected him of sexual harassing his students; Murder in Darfur; and the stories go on and on. These are all stories indicating losing. People are more interested in winning. The best or easiest way to celebrate winning is through Sporting Events. They’re Alive. Winning is to be alive as failure or defeat or losing is to be dead. People enjoy celebrating victory to mask the reality behind the current decay of civilization. Personally, I cheer when the Bears lose; simply to prove a point. I don’t need a sports team to lift my spirits. Two weeks ago a friend of mine told me he was going to be ill because the Cubs didn’t make it to the World Series. I think I’m going to throw up. He said. Another friend said The only thing I can do now is wash the loss away with whiskey. People fall into depression with defeat as they become energized with victory. It’s the way it has always been but now the priority of winners and losers are set in frivolous paths. People perform better based on their emotional stability. A team competes for stardom and recognition. Winning is no longer about honor. Honor has been replaced by the dollar. Have you ever noticed that college football players try harder than the NFL players? The humor here is that the college players don’t get paid but the NFL players make millions. Perhaps it’s to prove to the scouts that they will do whatever it takes to earn the mighty dollar by prostituting their selves to a franchise. What are your thoughts?

Pennies for dollars—True story. My friend Noe’s daughter was doing a raffle for their local church. She had 200 tickets for sale at $1 a piece. She went door to door selling each ticket. She came to a woman’s home who had said she didn’t have any money. Noe’s daughter said the ticket only costs a dollar. The woman insisted and said that she only had some change. The total amount she had was $.89, so Noe’s daughter gave her the ticket and took the remaining change out of her own pocket. One week later the women received a call from the church but she didn’t answer thinking they wanted more money. The next day Noe’s daughter went to the woman’s house and told her that she won the first prize; $5,000. The woman said that she is a single parent of 4 children and the money brought some hope and ease in her life. I like stories like this.

Sciences for Séances—Why does the Sun sit still? Why is it the only Star that doesn’t move? You believe in a special (unseen) force or imaginary belt that the planets are controlled by and an axis that rotates the planets in precision, but you don’t believe in the Force that designed it. Why? It’s like believing in money but not those who design and print it or even the fact that it is made. How can you explain time, space or even energy? Time and space is endless, yet it is still growing. Think about that. Time and Space is Endless, Yet it is Still Growing. What about the purpose of dreams or illusions or even premonitions? What about the conscience or intuitions? Why does the human body cry from pain? What are emotions, thoughts or even the concept of memory? You believe that people live by chance but not the axis that maintains stability. Why? Ok, so I believe in God and you say I am foolish for doing so. It is interesting to me that those of you who do not believe in God cannot answer the simple questions I just asked. Is it more foolish of me to believe in God than it is for those who cannot answer the simplest questions of that which they believe?

Double-dipping—I need some help figuring out this one. We are taught not to judge people and to ‘forgive and forget’ as those who have wronged us ‘will get their punishment with the Lord.’ Yet, the Bible and other Scriptures tell us the opposite, along with the laws of the land. I admire anyone who overcomes hardship and strives harder thereby becoming a better person. But my question remains: should people be punished in this life as well as the next? If they are left alone in this life and they will get their punishment in the next; what about those who already got their punishment while they were alive? Should we not be merciful to those who served their life in prison for their crime? By far, we don’t. Do you remember back in the day when the electric chair was put in use? Oooooooo we need to bring that back! Think about that one. People actually sat and watched the criminal cook to death. Wow! That takes a lot of nerve. But when you think about it, if we bring it back there would be less crime. Nowadays we just feel more comfortable knowing such people are locked away and we even add I hope that son-of-a-bitch rots in Hell. Isn’t that double-dipping his punishment? Even the court system has a law
