    The last dream I had before I just woke up...is as followed...


    I guess the last sequence in it could be catigorized as suspensful or scary...

    I was leaving a ranch...walking down the front road passage way...you could tell it was in the SE somewhere...with the desert mountainy terrian...

    The driveway had trees on either side and a troff or fence to the left...

    [​IMG]

    In this fence was a black bull....I thought it was friendly...so I stuck my head in the corral gate like fence and said 'hello'....

    It wasn't friendly, instead it was very competitave...and took offense to me invading it's territory...

    So it started working on getting out of the cage...the bull was violent and big like a rodeo bull...

    [​IMG]


    It was like a bull, but had the personality of a man with a large ego...

    I knew I had made it mad and even smarted off a bit...
    As it was coming around...I worked my way threw the fence up a deserty incline...and the black bull came a' charging...

    I ran and ran...and it came saying, or I should say the song 'Trojan man' kept playing in the background...

    The only place I could find shelter in was a semi truck that happened to be parked in the middle of this field...

    in the dream the truck looked humungous, so I climbed abord on passenger side and rolled up the windows, locked doors and sat there...

    No one was in the truck, but interior lights were on...as I could still here the song 'Trojan man' being played...

    Very odd song, very odd dream...

    And I do believe Trojans were like Romans, in that they were ancient fighters...or warriors...
    Just thought it odd to be hearing the song playing in the background as this big black bull was in persute...


    I like to share dreams while they're fresh in my mind, before they fade out of memory...and I was dealing with latinos earlier in the dream sequence...and people who could weld..and in a theater...

    And other stuff that I can't make sense enough to write about...

    Oh, i miss my little snug home here...I bounce around so much now...everyplace has such a different feel...

    [​IMG]

    Like going from one town to another...in this case it would be forums or social sites ect ect...

    It's late...listening to Coast to Coast...
    Just heard Ashton K is getting a divorce from Demi Moore...

    I kind of wish President Obama would just settle upon one term..
    If it were me...I wouldn't put my family through four more years of that crp...

    I really wouldn't wish that seat on anyone right now, whether R or D...

    It's a no win seat now...a no win seat...

    Anyhow...not much going on...

    I a glad though, that I'm not up in the cold states right now...
    I've driven through many winters, icy roads, but sooner or later your luck runs out...

    I don't need that kind of excitement anymore...
    Goodnight...

    Oh one more thing...I do think it's cool, and long over do, that they allow people with concealed carry permits to cross state lines...like with automoble licenses...
    I just wonder what took them so long...
    I don't carry...but for those who do and who are responsible...it makes it a lot more convient for them...danger doesn't stop just cause you cross a state line...

    Evil always seeks out good...

    That's how you can tell the difference...

    It will always come to you...

    All you have to do is exist...and it will arrive...

    they always say go with your first gut feeling...
    And something don't feel right....

    I could probably write the script, the lies, and the characters...

    The Government should hire me to be a remote viewer...

    Cause I see and feel things that others can't...cause I deal in light and honesty...
    Don't ever let the outter cover fool you, it will cause the stupid to trip....

    If I was their supervisor, I would fire them for being so obvious and sloppy...

    Or at least send them back for more training...

    anyways...goodnight...well actually it's morning now...

    First off...

    Wall Street Protesters...

    [​IMG]

    Because I don't support either party...It allows me to be a lot more honest with my evaluations...

    I know it's not 'Capitolism' you all are protesting...the way Sean Hannity repeats to his dense audience...

    It's corruption on Wall street that your protesting....duh....

    But again because I'm not on anyones campaign group...it's easier for me to be honest...

    The chaos that has insued over the last few weeks at the locations really has nothing to do with your original sentiment...

    It's corruption in the financial markets that your against...and rightly so.

    Why Sean and Rush feel they must defend corruption, while dogging you protesters out is very telling...

    You weren't wrong in your intial inclines...and instead of Rush and all the other paid for and in the pockets of talk show hosts helping to bring clarity to your original cause,...they instead result to name calling, and smearing...which they always do to people who aren't in line with them....

    They've tried to align your group with 'Democrats'....again, more intellectual dishonesty...

    I listen, I hear, and you tried to express in the beggining how your group was not politically motivated.

    Not everything, or issue under the sun can be framed in the left vs right box....

    An honest person presents the facts, and lets audience decied...trusts their auidence to come to right conclusion...

    Sean Hannity does just the opposite...they deliberatly distort information and news, present it to your, and are in fear you'll find out the truth...

    But they make a lot of money doing that, so why should they change...
    (money is the mark of the beast)....

    Anyways...just thought I'd say hello real quick...

    People who lie and use deception in any form or practice, really annoy me...

    Whether it's talk show hosts, polititions, TV adds...or just every day people...

    Confirm facts...study both sides of everything first...don't allow your bias to effect your opinion...it makes you weak and sloppy when you do...

    And remember, not likeing someone, doesn't make that person 'bad'...

    Intent, is what makes you bad...

    Being jelious of someone, or not agreeing with their style, or religion, doesn't make someone 'bad'...

    Cruel spirits linger...and Eve is the mother of them all...

    Eve decieved Adam into 'sinning'...

    And modern day Eves, continue to decieve modern day Adams, and make modern day Adams do their bidding for them...

    Very very dishonest...and cunning...but so recognizable...

    'Stay out the kitchen or.....'

    Right now I feel like i'm in one of those Albert Hitchcock movies or Twilight Zone episodes...

    Where your like wondering through an amuesmant park late at night...and everythings spinning around and around and around...

    And you don't know what's real or fake...

    And no...it's not from the effects of weed...

    I can't do weed, or I'd never get hired anywhere...cause drug tests are manditory...and I'm wierd enough on my own as it is...I'd hate to see what I'd be like if I were on weed or the kind of self portraits I'd might create...

    Periodically I leave links to my portraits...my stunning portraits...

    On award winning photo sites, many of those portaits are coveted, prized...and are actually quite tame compared to others...

    Often times photo contest are created from different catigories...

    This community here though, is not really into Pacaso type abstract art...this is art to many on here...

    [​IMG]
    Ok...this is art to the conisuars on here...

    Now if I knew what all those valves did, and pipes and belts and knobs...I'd be ok...but I don't...I don't understand metal or pipes and injectors and cams...but I do know that's a air filter on top...

    Now if I could make myself look like an engine..maybe more would like me...hmmm...now that's an idea...


    [​IMG]

    Me next to a gigantic engine...


    Anyways...lifes long and tough...I try not to let others steal my joy...my essence, my spirit...

    I'm honest and forthwright and always examining my feelings and emotions...it's what allows me to write so much...

    Anyone who thinks I'm bad is 'duranged'....and can only come at me through deceit...

    I have nothing to hide, that's why I'm hear every day...duh...

    Being honest with yourself is like taking out the garbadge every day...

    There's many ways you can define bad...but one of those ways I define 'bad' is...

    1. anyone who delibertly seeks to hurt or harm someone else who has done nothing to you.

    2. People who persuade others through lies and inuendos, exagerations and speculation...cause they know the plain ole fashion truth could be rather bland and boreing...

    In other words if you yell 'fire'!...the fire deptment will show up immediatly...

    But if you say 'Oh...there might be a fire in that room over there, cause Jasons in that room, and I don't like Jason'...
    Then no one would respond...so we lie and exagerate to get other people to respond...emotional manipulation...

    Some are crafty at doing it, others are good at allowing themselves to be used like that...

    Egos are something else...

    Anyways...be safe out there and have a decent night...

    Boy that Tim Tebow is something else...

    Every site is so different...

    I go to photo sites like flicker.com

    Where people take and post 10's of 1000s of photos of themselves every single day...

    In different catigories like 'weird' 'goth' 'dark' 'feet' 'alleys' 'stray dogs' ect ect ect...'portraits', 'sci-fi'...ect ect...

    sites like flickr encourage their users to be creative in portraits very...it's a public site...one of the larger ones...some of the photos there would make mine look very very tame...

    But people there view in 'context'...that context being art and creativity...

    But here...it's like that kind of spirit is missing....

    there's no 'context'...

    it's what happens when you isolate yourself from the world...

    Everything takes on a 'grey' tone...

    And that's what I often felt while out on the road...everything became grey after a while...

    [​IMG]

    There was no color...it felt like being at a work camp, where they feed you food with minimal nutrients, just enough to keep you alive to work the next day...
    And that's how it felt out there...and how it feels on here at times...

    Unless you fit within this very small tight niche...forget about it...

    That's why so many come, and then fade away...

    I find it sad....

    And so very un American...

    Some people form grudges against you, not do to anything you have done to them, but do to their own hardened heart or perspective, and their opinion will never ever change of you...

    But I don't care..cause I have 'perspective'....

    I see it for what it is...the powers that be...the whole power template...

    I know how it works...

    But unless someone can walk on water or has the ability to wipe away another persons sins...than who are they in the end??

    Anyways...I'd rather focus on more positive stuff...

    And maybe I'll do that in the next post...

    I'm beautiful and sexy in my photo/art/portraits/abstract...

    And if that annoys some, makes a few jelious...there's nothing I can do about it...

    Some should work on being beautiful on the inside, that's what really counts...that's what will resignate more than anything else...
