type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;For those of us who are repeatedly kidnapped in our sleep and coerced into doing things without our conscious approval, the consequences to some may seem unimportant because of the induction of selective amnesia for the events that happen during those most certainly lurid times.&amp;nbsp; However, just because a person is unconscious during and has no memory afterwards does not make it alright to use a person for any reason without their consent.&amp;nbsp; The malfeasance of such a criminal act is even further exacerbated when the subjects are not only excluded from any financial compensation for their trouble, but in many ways driven into debt both fiduciary and socially on account of the circumstances surrounding such an unreasonable procedure.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; It seems that throughout our lives, and even perhaps prior even to our conception, the persons at fault conspire without proper disclosure the thoroughly intricate plans to condition us in such a way as to render us little more than&amp;nbsp; porcelain dolls with which they might exact their overly officious willpower to unjustly attain monopolies on money or power or simply undue self satisfaction that might arise as the result of having such unhealthy control over another human being.&amp;nbsp; There even seems to be collaborations between the persons at fault and the very authorities who are there to prevent such grave infractions against every ethical, moral, legislative, and even judicious spirit that exists to maintain a tolerable quality of life for everyone.&amp;nbsp; These authorities include the police department, the court systems, and even religious establishments over the course of our lifetimes.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Often the allegation against us is that we are volunteers for these sordid occasions of what amounts to more crime than is probably able to be recorded on one criminal record.&amp;nbsp; The fact is, though, that no one can or would volunteer for such an occupation without even knowing that it occurs at all until far too many instances have come to pass to salvage any dignity from the matter.&amp;nbsp; The only actions we can take now are those that steer such a mutinous fleet into safe harbors somewhere if that is even possible so these injustices do not affect anyone else ever again.&amp;nbsp; Even now as we sense another lull in consciousness approaching, there is the almost subliminal anxiety and worry about what awful episodes we might have to endure without even a sparkle of our own consciousness included in the whole melodrama.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Another excuse perhaps often given for the matter by those eager to succumb yet again to such unnecessary temptations is that it is all good for everyone involved.&amp;nbsp; Yet that very goodness is simultaneously negated by the fact that the most sacred parts of the affected lives are compromised and corrupted by the very deal itself leaving any good that might come about because of it inevitably useless because of the spiritual significance of such a loss of innately provident livelihood.&amp;nbsp; Furthermore, no excuse or reason of any kind is even applicable to such an unreasonable and inexcusable affront to all that is humane.&amp;nbsp; To hijack a person during the time allocated for dreaming, and steal those precious moments for what ultimately amounts to unspeakably selfish means is irrefutably unforgivable.&amp;nbsp; There is no substitute for the right to experience the invaluable priceless resources found while spending a decent night uninterrupted by the plague of psychological assault that is robbing innocent people of such an experience that no one should be denied.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Since the supposed popularity of these devious practices is so great, there would seem to be a sort of inescapable inertia attached to the propagation of their existence due to the effects of what psychologists once called mob mentality.&amp;nbsp; That is to say that if enough people believe earnestly that certain circumstances should come to pass, then the individual constitutions of an afflicted minority that are contrary to those of a group that significantly outnumber them are presumed insignificant and effectually ignored.&amp;nbsp; This gross oversight towards the universally respected inalienable rights of even a small number of worthy individuals is utterly despicable at the least, and if brought before an uncompromising judiciary body is certainly punishable to the fullest extent of the laws regarding human rights as put forth not only in The Constitution of the United States of America but also in very specific articles drafted by The United Nations to apply to similar circumstances around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

through restaurant loud speaker squawks.&amp;nbsp; The birds sing.&amp;nbsp; The traffic noise surges, and the police sirens wail, and perhaps an auto trumpets.&amp;nbsp; Then I hear the ancient elevator from down the hall through my locked door, and the faucet of my neighbor downstairs. begins to squeal it seems like every five or ten minutes.&amp;nbsp; It is all very annoying, mainly because there is nothing that I can do to prevent any of it; and also because these events seem to coincide with my waking only to dissipate later.&amp;nbsp; Consequently, I start the day feeling tired, frustrated, and disgusted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To ease the discomfort, I soak for as long as possible in a warm bath to open and flush the pores followed by a period for singing heartfelt songs, and then a cool shower to rinse off any perspiration that might have lingered.&amp;nbsp; I then mind any accumulated housework that might require attention or study whatever literature might be at hand, and when I feel able, it is well to perform some physical conditioning such as stretching, yoga, or maybe a walk outside (weather permitting).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was great fortune today in that fresh lettuce from the garden was ready for consumption, and I did just that with great joy and gratitude for such a blessing inconceivably fruitful.&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;In some undisclosed locations [possibilities below],&amp;nbsp; there are persons being held against their will.&amp;nbsp; There are possibly impostors or decoys making their ordinary lives seem uninterrupted by this fact.&amp;nbsp; Their friends and families know nothing of&amp;nbsp; the secret incarceration possibly due to the proliferation of inauthentic communications like email, text messaging, and cell phones.&amp;nbsp; A lot of us do not realize how easy it is -- especially for life long secret criminals -- to impersonate a character.&amp;nbsp; Whether it be written or spoken, a lot of us living sheltered lives go easily unaware of the accuracy of these impersonators who sometimes literally stand in for people that we have known forever and make us think they are safe when they are really in horrible misery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Think of how little effort it would take for a small group -- or even one depravedly gifted person -- to find or create a hidden location impossible to both find and escape.&amp;nbsp; Furthermore, it is not impossible either for good people to lose contact with their social network under the guise of preoccupation elsewhere -- therefore making long periods gone by without communicating virtually unnoticed.&amp;nbsp; A pertinent moral for this story needs to be addressed right here at this very moment so that anyone who is just reading this without time to finish the whole thing sees it, and it is this:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: white;"&gt;Keep In Personal Touch With The People You Love!&amp;nbsp; Do Not Settle For Petty Texts And Emails Which Could Easily Be Forged By Impostors.&amp;nbsp; Demand Positive Identification As Often As Possible.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;For those able to read further, pay close attention to these words, as I feel there are many people dangerously suffering even at this very moment.&amp;nbsp; Until we work together to offer every conceivable effort possible -- no matter how outlandishly improbable it may seem -- to safely and carefully infiltrate these deceptive 'anonymous islands' where arbitrarily disliked souls are tortured and suffer miserably without the possibility of their voices being heard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;This is only a circumspect possibility and not meant to encourage the existing of such or similar circumstances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;I have juggled these possibilities around briefly and the ball drops on 'not woodsy' 'too wet' 'not urban' and 'Washington - Oregon [read Lake Waterloo, Northern Saskatchewan Canada 24 August 2009]'&amp;nbsp; The only reason that I considered Washington and Oregon [or Lake Waterloo] is because I was watching a weather satellite map c. 24 July 2009 [and 24 August 2009] and noticed a curious shaped disturbance rotating one half clockwise, and the other counter clockwise against each other yet still connected.&amp;nbsp; When I juggled the Washington and Oregon balls this was the only pair where one did not fall before the other and I grew weary of them.&amp;nbsp; An unidentified voice confirms, "It is the secluded island beach (house) [still relevant 24 August 2009]."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;Also consider locations most thought of as in plain sight like airports, shopping malls less urgent.&amp;nbsp; Where people get used to seeing the same routine over and over again and grow disaffected by false appearances and do not know that people are trapped not only by schemes and black-mail type situations but also&amp;nbsp; hypnotic devices like&amp;nbsp; rhythmic and musical trances which can lend a range of conditions&amp;nbsp; between totally numb and extreme pain while also including ill conceived though often highly effective but unjust forms of psychological conditioning.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: white;" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;I live in a state subsidized one bedroom flat in a generic looking five level building that as such stands out like a sore thumb in this otherwise cozy residential inner city neighborhood.&amp;nbsp; The facade of the building all around is composed of pale uniform brick masonry, and the design is so flat, so plain, so square, that it is at first rather difficult even to identify the entrance as it blends in with the overall boxy unremarkable shape of the&amp;nbsp; structure itself.&amp;nbsp; I survive on the bare essential assistance provided to me by government welfare agencies for the mundane duties that I perform as a professionally invalid lunatic.&amp;nbsp; There is no reason to fear that I may at any given moment become immediately harmful or even disruptive, as I have been conditioned through behavioral, institutional, and even pharmaceutical methods to adamantly confide in the infallibility of obedience to those motivations that inspire a quite mediocre and tame disposition.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="color: white;"&gt;It also often goes without saying that financial limitations&amp;nbsp; keep a very short leash upon any notions that I might pursue that include anything more than localized, weak, and censored&amp;nbsp; efforts to express myself creatively to what must at most (according to available statistics) be a completely invisible and silent psychic audience who remain as yet formally unidentified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am informed only of that which is necessary to survive, and poorly so at that.&amp;nbsp; I significantly lack the common sense required to make any headway towards both a better life for myself and for those around me, assuming that such a dream is effectively possible.&amp;nbsp; My financial obligations to establishments that have and continue to loan funds towards my plight remain untended leaving my ability to borrow effectively extinct.&amp;nbsp; Therein is an example of a deficiency in my increasingly becoming transparent character which further confirms the already firm grounds for my status as mentally defective.&amp;nbsp; It is also further evidence of the behavioral controls under which I operate on a daily basis.&amp;nbsp; In the case that I should mismanage the tentative at best fiduciary means that are available to me, I am treated to an emotional guilt trip, so to speak, because I do not happen to be blessed with an infallible ability to consistently account for myself economically.&amp;nbsp; Thus, presumably as many others, I struggle to cultivate a life of freedom regardless of the diligent efforts to impede such an aim by the conventional system of trade in essential resources whose inertia over the evolution of civilization continues to be an almost inescapable force working against those, including myself, who wish to achieve the Utopian, albeit difficult in this space time continuum, goal of consciously and spiritually living a life immune to the frequent drawbacks of seemingly unnecessary complications along the way to a naturally simple as well as emotionally wealthy existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one tentatively hypothetical informal solution theorizes, an inexhaustible resource is reportedly always available to every one in need.&amp;nbsp; That of course is the obviously invaluable assistance of other properly qualified individuals who are lacking in what others have while having in turn exactly what it is that those lack.&amp;nbsp; Upon initial analysis this may seem like an easily resolvable issue on account of the copious quantities of human beings on the planet.&amp;nbsp; However, there seems to be an ongoing subliminal scheme to keep exactly the parties whose immediate association would create an amazingly comfortable relief in and for the good of everyone around separated.&amp;nbsp; This plan seems to have begun long ago with so much foresight and attention to detail that it can not in any simple way be altered out of the bounds of its previously allotted providences that lend such a helpless predicament to those so inexcusably involved,&amp;nbsp; partially aware, and yet unable to make any effective shorter term alterations without upsetting the tenets of what is now only vaguely conceivable to such unjustly&amp;nbsp; under informed players of a plot outline whose effectiveness seems to be all the more powerful because of the relative obscurity of its intricate impropriety and consequential inequity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>Unidentified Silent Mediation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somewhere between creation and application there seems to be a chasm inhabited by skeptically stubborn unsolicited criticism.&amp;nbsp; From where this abyss of unauthorized frustration arises remains as of yet indefinite.&amp;nbsp; There is neither formal announcement of its arrival nor such&amp;nbsp; indication of its sustained presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It often attempts to communicate only through unpredictably inconsistent latent telepathy which is probably as considerable an affront to certain amateur contentions as attempting to transmit anything to toward near or around it without the appropriate yet obscure provenance that is at best almost apparent though still impossibly required.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The existence of such is not surprising in a society where anomie seems to increase when censured in its auspiciousness consequently elsewhere in an admittedly frustrating obfuscate manner.&amp;nbsp; Such an increasingly becoming more covert and from one perspective certainly irrational manner may lead ones so affected to question the verity of their entire existence altogether.&amp;nbsp; Especially for those who rely on feedback from other individuals presumably left stranded without the benefit of the material held &lt;i&gt;incommunicado&lt;/i&gt; by this mysterious and lingering impediment that so confounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examples include but are not limited to modifications to proprietary content without approval,&amp;nbsp; refusal to disclose original content to a general audience in a manner portended to be available and potently functional, and social subterfuge on the level of such legislative offenses as slander and libel.&amp;nbsp; The nature of these offenses also reach so far as to include invading the privacy of a United States citizen.&amp;nbsp; However, the nature of these aforementioned resistances also preclude any means of properly charging any guilty parties or even informally disclosing their existence as their identities remain occluded, and any other evidence besides perhaps this document of illegal behavior is extinct or at least effectively obscured by some sort of stealthy encryption technique inordinately beyond the ability of their subjects to decipher alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

without praise or even recognition for that matter.&amp;nbsp; For, if these truly selfless individuals were to either accept financial compensation or notoriety for their beneficence, that very result might render their heroic acts null and void.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another realization might follow that takes into account the fact that a naive few observe lots of apparently worthless and erstwhile behaviors without the access to further information that may enlighten them to the essential nature of tasks that may seem on first impression to be invalid, but that upon further review of

type='text'></title><content type='html'>Spirite Incognite&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are sitting pleasantly on a smooth hard cold dense metal bus stop bench in the center of an urban metropolis.&amp;nbsp; The hour is midnight, and the terribly hot hellishly humid harsh summer day has given way to the cool, dark, and airy oasis of a peaceful evening. Within the gray concrete stillness of sidewalks and office towers that reach so high above our heads that we must cautiously lift our chins to the extent of their abilities in order to see the pinnacles of these gigantic, grave, dense monoliths dimly lit only by sparse lingering interior lights that have been left on against the serene darkness of the clearest night all season; our presence is yet the one element of prescient life evident here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The welcome gentle breezes speak to us with playful dialogs that dance a comforting ballet against our exposed skin without a scent.&amp;nbsp; The intemperate glow of ultramodern precision lighting lends an ethereal ambiance to this idyllic setting.&amp;nbsp; We can naught but glow telepathically within as the moonlight reflects in and amongst the eerily still surfaces from so far away that the source of it can not even be seen at all.&amp;nbsp; Now we are primed to muse effortlessly in a sort of psychically lucid dream of which only we can have an integral experience.&amp;nbsp; It consists of aesthetic modifications of the articulate migration that will soon come to pass in, near, and around this place.&amp;nbsp; Our thoughts are respectfully and properly addressed by a mentally harmonic computational interface at an undisclosed location immune to all threats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The office towers are now almost filled to their ultimate capacity with a solid cast iron alloy that is so dense that special measures must be taken to prevent the gravitational pull alone of it from impeding the endeavor.&amp;nbsp; Upon completely filling every cubic millimeter of empty interior space in this massive downtown area, an electromagnetic charge matrix will be applied to the entire complex rendering it an attractive coefficient so irresistible that&amp;nbsp; any affected life form within the programmable distance coordinates will be inevitably drawn to a specific position amongst the now desolate towers.&amp;nbsp; The individual positions will depend strictly upon genetic compatibility with details related to a current theory of everything and just compatibility with the space time continuum at each specific place and moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now, though, residue from the nuclear fission of stars both distant and near gracefully reaches our souls as yet under privileged by the convention until the inception of it in our consciousnesses.&amp;nbsp; The effect of such cosmic interception is like the memory of seeing a meteor shower that is possibly remarkable all at once and also arises occasionally at times years, decades, and even lifetimes later (if their span is so definite).&amp;nbsp; The immediate consensus is that the communion between the astronomical entities and us is congenial at least, and certainly furthermore informative.&amp;nbsp; So, we meditate intellectually on the complex influx of metaphysical material associated with such a transaction and&amp;nbsp; genuinely feel the pleasantly desirably emotions simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for our whereabouts during the approaching institution of the aforementioned gravitational adjustments, we will be safe in a dutifully controlled environment of our own volition supervising the holistic welfare of those involved with the procedures.&amp;nbsp; Our mission is to maintain an equilibrium between the functionality of the project and the quality of life for the participants.&amp;nbsp; Instances from tonight are currently imprinting into our psyches in order to maintain tranquil and effective conditions throughout this permutational effort both for us while we see to the commodities, and in them as well while they are being seen to by us with what can at best be described as an unfamiliar experience in relation to the mostly blind perspective that many may have in approaching such an apparent anomaly in everyday life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-6984932897747442037?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/6984932897747442037/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/09/spirite-incognite-we-are-sitting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/6984932897747442037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/6984932897747442037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/09/spirite-incognite-we-are-sitting.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-8788770813799358053</id><published>2009-08-24T01:30:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-08-24T01:31:54.717-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Thanks to no one responding to my request for assistance, I found the time to complete the task myself.

He so enjoyed the respectful distance that they kept from him that he learned even to tolerate the annoyingly torturous irregular and inordinate audible interruptions that they sent to him through various means aside from direct conversation.  He was especially apathetic though to the opportunities that they presented to him to eaves drop on irrelevant conversations that concerned neither him nor anything of value towards improving life for those for whom it was possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a slightly more disheartening note however, he yet indeed felt trapped by the devotees in that they were incredibly prescient to his every move.  As a consequence to his ability to develop the discipline of moving in harmony with the previously disconcerting urban environment in which they all lived, the devotees also developed the ability to move ahead of him and arrange for a relatively harmless yet emotionally abusive social circumstance to frustrate him, and it became a regularly predictable occurrence, the details of which he was never aware and always suffered great spiritual injury on account of their inaccessibility.  The spiritual injuries became so great and so often that their presence became a constant part of his entire continence and greatly hindered any opportunities for either progress or escape that could now most definitely never even approach conceivability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He developed a great longing to no longer be trapped in this harmfully lonely urban social incarceration, yet the severity and complexity of the conditions imposed upon him by the stubborn followers gradually ground his once jubilant hopes of alternative lifestyles from the great harvest that it once was into a fine powder that the inappropriate and uncomfortable winds swiftly eliminated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surrepititiously, they successfully marketed the video recordings of his misadventures as a comedy so that multitudes could enjoy what they were irresistably encouraged to appreciate as humour at the expense of the individual of focus in this entry as his psychic sensitivities to such an affliction were quite delicate as was indicated by the previously mentioned genetic information.  The resulting profit from the sale and distribution of the films was so great that those who reaped the benefits had more than they could ever use, and destroyed the unused portion which was never to be available again.  This also troubled the pantaloon in question for he had detailed compassionate plans to heal those in the world that were still suffering in other perhaps unmentionable ways maybe like him, but probably not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As time passed, the culprits of his holistic degeneration grew increasingly crafty, clever, and more difficult to identify, though their devastatingly ridiculous mischief continued at a sustainably maddening rate.  The disheartened spiritual traveller never grew accustomed to the continually updated ways devised to thwart him at every turn, he never resorted to violence or even raising his voice.  In fact, he resolved that even if he encountered them or exposed their apparently maleficent mission, he would dismiss their every sortie with sincere forgiveness which he had already whole heartedly cultivated to its fullest extent in his every living moment.  The presumed misfits were privy to this possibility, and incorporated the parameters necessary to induce this type of acceptance in their thorough methods of cognitive behavioural conditioning.  They also indirectly encouraged him to write about his predicament and to accept all of the blame for everything that happened to him because they knew that no one would ever see that side of the story.  They even controlled his computer with remote infra red controls in what turned out to be a vain attempt at impairing his mentality even more.  To be perfectly honest, all of their attempts at his sanity failed.  For, eventually reached a point of total acceptance of the fact that  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;his &lt;/span&gt;life would continue there after miserably while his nemises would prosper and live abundantly if for no other reason than to rub it in his face allegorically from strategically unpleasant moment to strategically unpleasant moment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-3086328967568847082?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/3086328967568847082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/04/while-postponing-urination-spiritual.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/3086328967568847082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/3086328967568847082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/04/while-postponing-urination-spiritual.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-6923084353845066630</id><published>2009-04-01T18:29:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T18:33:20.148-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>On Alternative Fabrics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that all the clothes available are made from incorrigibly flimsy materials. So, I got to thinking . . .what if clothes were made from sturdier materials like, hmm, i don't know let's say KEVLAR! I googled a few variations and found a company that collects and recycles kevlar scraps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.harmonyrecycling.com/" onmousedown="'return" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.harmonyrecyclin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;g.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also found a company that makes hoodies and tees lined with kevlar-like 'aramid' fabric for protection from cutting and tearing that is located in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bladerunner.tv/" onmousedown="'return" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.bladerunner.tv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to get a hold of some, and put together a couple of outfits (I don't mean just bulletproof vests, either, i'm talking about a full line of stuff you can wear comfortably everyday for both style and durability) but, I don't have the right capital with which to acquire the raw materials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I found an article in Wired magazine (citation lost) that covered the use of non woven fabrics by a group in Manhattan called Design Development Concepts U.S.A. that was also interesting and relevant because these non woven fabrics are usually incorporated for disposable use applications, but the idea is to give them longer life by incorporating them into more sustainable arenas like couture, but controlling interests have up until now rejected such advancements except as noted in the article located behind the following link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.techexchange.com/thelibrary/nonwovenfabrics.html" onmousedown="'return" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.techexchange.co&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;m/thelibrary/nonwovenfabri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;cs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their non woven nature, however lends them at least a fresh feel versus the traditional fabrics like cotton that are widely over-used (like a lot of songs on the classic rock radio stations for example). And they are cheaper and less time consuming to produce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's what was going on for a while today.   &lt;span class="action_links_bottom"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>Acquiring Psychic Media Reception Abilities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people currently depend on materially visible technologies to provide themselves and others with various forms of entertainment, education, efficiency -- for instance stereos, computers and their periphery, televisions and the list goes on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps some do not realise their inherent ability to acquire and share these same valuable resources directly without the use of technological devices through psychic reception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose there are as many forms of this ability as there are people alive, and perhaps more to the imaginatively gifted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I will give one option to start one on a path towards the enlightening world of psychic media acquisition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first step, if you are not already there, is to excessively detoxify the body in order to provide the associated etheric forces with a figurative clean slate, so to speak, with which to configure compatible possibilities for future interaction without too much interference from the presumably mercurial influences that some unwanted substances may cause by their presence in the body of one on the path towards psychic media acquisitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not to say that the physical body per se is the sine qua non for psychic performance. However, as long as one is still collaborating with the afore mentioned organic entity, it remains an important factor to consider when approaching self improvement projects of this caliber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step is to adopt both a regular routine of sitting (zazen) meditation during which one supposedly clears the mind of all residual influences from the most recent life past, stresses of the preceding day or night, or perhaps just to drop the guilt trip that some people feel because of their alleged apocalyptic carbon footprint; and a spontaneously irregular 'routine' of (kinha) active/moving yet still respectfully mindful exercises wherein one may ascertain or discover certain locations, wardrobes, behavioural sequences, and/or combinations of the above with each other or with additional options that might come to mind to a practitioner before, during, or after the above pair of options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, listen to the often ignored or avoided sounds and influences in the everyday life and observe opportunities for these to be incorporated harmoniously into the potentially paranormal influence that one might soon welcome respectfully into the mix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have gleaned all that is necessary for you to continue from these suggestions (only you know what is right for you in other words) feel free to open your metaphysical senses to the beautiful and uniquely customised stream of psychic material that is available to all who are compatible with this precious practice of exercising our freedom to be without having to trade our hard earned currency for what will soon become superfluous miscellanea that is no longer necessary for those who acquire psychic media reception abilities in their everyday lives.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-7434028609039798209?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/7434028609039798209/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/04/acquiring-psychic-media-reception.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/7434028609039798209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/7434028609039798209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/04/acquiring-psychic-media-reception.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-7092345270404710905</id><published>2009-04-01T01:30:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T19:47:35.914-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>May First Nineteen Ninety&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a newly fed twelve year old boy lay sleeping, and wrapped in an almost paralytic unconsciousness while he dreamt unmemorable dreams; a coven of contemporary sorceresses descended upon his domicile in auto mobiles so finely tuned to both the occupants, the weather, and every other minute detail ever imaginable that not even a quark stirred unusually anywhere in the neighbourhood.  In fact, their whole operation was so precisely accurate that the nearer they became to the boy, the closer he came to ejaculation -- that is -- nocturnal emission in the very sexual though still unconsciously orgasmic sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having this knowledge well in hand due to their psychically prescient clairvoyant abilities if not also due to some extremely clever planning ahead in advance of their one now known covert operation of the evening, they were not only well prepared for the aforementioned event, they were expecting it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they entered the residence under a conveniently impeccably subliminally stealthy cloak of darkness, they found everything just as they had planned.  Faster than any defence mechanism could detect, they entered his bedroom with perfect timing and harvested the very first specimen of sperm laden semen ever to escape his body, and he did not feel a thing -- much less even awake until they had deposited the sample in an ultra modern preservation device that fit perfectly in the thermodynamic docking station in their vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their exit was as faultless as their entry, and for the rest of the night and any other time they required for that matter, the roads were theirs.  For their mission was absolutely beyond reproach.  They sought vulnerably innocent anonymous donors of both the human egg and sperm with which to fertilize a new breed of astrologically perfect individuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their next conquest of the evening was to gather a complimentary sample from a similarly conducive sleeping female.  This proved an equally facile task as they not only had authority over all of the electro magnetic radiation available, they knew how to use it to both anesthetize  their subjects, and heighten their own sensibilities at the same time.  They also used said same E. M. R. to dictate and control the dreams of those who were susceptible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, upon completing the task of gathering their specimens, they immediately began the fertilisation process as both timing &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; continuity of sequence and behaviour were important.  From that point forward, there was naught to do but wait for a while until the time came to impregnate the surrogate female who had been chosen over time for her appropriately consumate character and disposition.  No one would suspect a thing.  She was the perfect candidate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire operation was so flawless that no one even knew of their existence which quite possibly had  no beginning and consequently no end either.  They possessed intellect, technology, intuition, and discipline unimaginable to those who remained limited by other concerns.  Sometimes rumours surfaced briefly that they were born of another planet or even an alternate dimension beyond the realms of mere mortals, but these intimations quickly dissipated without even a trace of their existence in memory or on record anywhere.  They spent all of their time in an existential vacuum both entirely wary of psychic warfare, and impervious to every sortie aimed at their discovery.   They were holistically sovereign  in their paradigm yet void of presumably innate human qualities like emotion and sensitivity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February Fifteenth Nineteen Ninety One&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The properly chosen surrogate mother who had carried for over nine months in her ideal womb a child of origins uncertain to her, lay at rest.  As she ponderously mused and reflected on all the time she had spent with child so far, she herself fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She awoke to find her long full belly removed of its precious contents, and in that place was left only a heartfelt sense of satisfaction and no worry whatsoever as to the whereabouts or well being of the child which she had come to think of as sacred, holy, and even divine.  Mourning was the most distant thing from her mind as every moment up to this one and including it was totally and completely free of even the slightest uneasiness as would be the case with everyone whosoever even came to think of this indefatigable creation the likes of which the world had never before conceived and may never again repeat consciously in a temporally linear reality foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February Fifteenth Two Thousand Twenty One&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now thirty years later, our ideal man's apartment was spartan yet well decorated, the rooms were clean, the pillows straight, and the dishes done in a nearly spotless kitchen.  There were some dry goods on the counter, some compost and recycling in a bin together, yet separated with a tiny bag of refuse adjacent in one of the smaller filmy plastic bags that one might receive from a corner store.  There was a quart sized stainless steel saucepan and a twelve inch skillet on two of the four eyes on the inactive electric range which did have a couple of spots on it, only just from being shared with friends.  On the counter also with the dry goods, there were a kahve grinder and drip kahve maker as well.  Further inside the half kitchen opened into a drawing room, though one must navigate around an assortment of deliberate and partially bold papers arranged on a low solid wood table consisting of the main table with a pair of sneakers resting upon a slightly more obscure shelf below with no space between it and the worn down dirty stained and throw rugged soil brown (but swept and deodorised) carpet.  On top of the papers was a book of graphic penmanship, and as one walked around the table in the drawing room, one passed to the right of a small coat closet halfway ajar would have been the door with a couple of light blazers hanging over the full length one fold accordion  style door that was about two feet wide and seven feet tall.  through the drawing room a visitor might have relaxed on a special small couch built for two whose threshold lay at about knee level and was covered in broken-in vinyl, and so worn down with gentle use, the cushions took on a  personality of their own amongst each other though they were all originally the same colour, there was an absolutely opposite coloured flat square pillow resting there as well.  between that whole thing and a similarly decorated recliner was a half card desk for writing and shaping with a small maquette resembling a spaceship, a small rectangular black cardboard box full of baseball cards, a jar of white paint, a tall cylindrical woven container for brushes -- also black -- and a lamp with a flexible neck of reflective metal and expressing lucidity with a hard moulded and frosted semi opaque plastic flare.  Beneath there was a foot locker with a navy blue tone addressed by a small AM/FM/Cassette/CD/Stereo surrounded evenly by a new soft cover novel, a partially filled ash glass, another soft cover novel on a different subject than the first, and a poem in ink on a single leaf of office paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the recliner he sat writing in his notebook all dressed in ragged black trouser, boxer briefs, socks, shoes, belt, a t-shirt, a long sleeved t-shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt with a pocket on the front and frayed cuffs on the sleeves.  They were slightly pulled back to reveal powerful fore arms, and hands of a tough and soft complexion that radiated precise warmth.  One foot lay crossed underneath his left thigh between it and the seat cushion area.  he was sitting up right, holding a notebook bound spirally and filled with standard horizontal blue lines and more of his writing and drawing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was an automated variant drone unit with a memo signal emerging from within his left biggest toe reminding him that if he sat like this for much longer, he might not deactivate the signal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wrote with and looked at his amber pencil made of wood and labeled number two.  He stopped writing, put down the pencil and paper, and rose walking over to the kitchen for a bite.  He then returned through the drawing room, picked up his pencil and paper and fell into the small couch to write some more.  the fading light of a day progressed toward darkness and his visuals began to decline in their ability to detect text on paper any more, so he also turned on the light before beginning to write again with the mainframe interface station clearly visible to him across the square room every time he looked up from the current page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was coated with black plastic and had two each audio and video conditioners, as well as a digitally manual adjustment signal receiver processing entity.  Between that and the recliner (which was to the left) were now two small yet hard plastic shelves about the same height of the couch both flat against the wall surrounding a metallic cylinder with a wire frame lamp on top that had shredder teeth hanging from a middle ring in threes balanced one each to a half of the ring opposing each other and dangling sometimes with the rare but not unexpected jostle by the occasional rogue wave of energy passing through toward upon and past the sculpture which also had a wire frame shade above the ray of light emitting from the relatively proportionate base and that overlooked those same two shelves.  The one to the viewer's right supported an appropriately sized again metallic Hindu avatar flanked and halfway facing an allotment of media and a peripheral of the mainframe interface station which had an identical shelf much like the two previously mentioned only placed perpindicular and flat up against and parallel to the wall behind it, and only holding the other mainframe interface system peripheral, some more media, and a coloured and frosted glass representation of an incarnation of Vishnu riding a dragon inscribed in the mould in Chinese must have been the words Help Me Help Me because the form of their characters rose from a free place on the figurine and were plated in gold polish.  The shelf on the other side of the lamp was a platform for a toy plastic figurine of a grayish white horse with a black elastic ring around its neck, no mane or tail, a black capital letter A with a circle around it written on both sides of the rib cage in marker, zebra stripes tattooed on its hind quarters, and a metal beaded pull chain from an electric light draped in balance across the curve of its back; one end on each side dangling at equal lengths from its centre which intersected the spine which seemed to just barely rise like a ridge out of the horse's ideal back region.  There was also a dainty touch sensitive lamp at equal distance as the plastic horse was from one edge of the shelf to the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the automated variant drone unit continued to write, his thought sensors received and processed every possible stimulus and response combination possible many times per nanosecond  and the sum result accumulated upon the page before him in the parlance of the times legibly, and of altogether good form from theoretical algorithms to heart wrenching melodramas, he pencilled  in the inevitable futures that were deliberately bound to happen from the very sub-fraction of  a nanosecond they met incarnation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was awareness of every combination of moments in time altogether possible, inconceivable, improbable, and impossible.  It warmed him inside as he collaborated with each one simultaneously satisfying his requirement to uphold observances and their obsession with such behaviour in turn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The white walls held black ornamentation but they looked pale and yellow in the natural light that came from the lamp.  The blinds drew thin white lines across the windows that were black from the awakening night and shone with the lights of nearby towers outside them.  he concentrated briefly on the noise of the units nearby that occasionally arose apparently in no particular order while sounding like vocalisation calibration assessment tests or audio adjustment material to his expert sensory devices.  Regardless, he knew what he was supposed to do at this moment in time; that was write; and write he did.  He also heard transports from outside as they silently moved past emitting only thoughtful psychic exhaust for the automated variant drone unit to gather, and regurgitate mechanically with synthetic yet persuasive emotional servers and expression technique programmed into his behavioural codecs.  the rest of its communication technology indicated no approaching changes in behavioural coordination were detected until its perambulation executives were well adjusted and true enough to function again and disturb his creative expression parried comfortably recumbent there on the small couch in a storage division here at level five sector four with relevant visual stimulation at a balanced position for indefinite storage periods . . .by the time this one was over, it would be on for his next upgrade session at the mainframe interface station for the latest updates to his operating system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿Upon completing and receiving updates and orders from the mainframe interface station, the automated variant drone strode standardly across the floor and exited the door which opened before him and closed securely behind him.  As its procedural fiber optic processor finalised the detailed specifications. coordinates, style of gait, and personality adjustments it proceeded (emerged from) out of the storage facility systematically prepared to ornament the swiftly becoming lively urban market which was populated by both humans and other drones both variant and uniform in their relative parameter sequences.  Automatic variant drone Version 0.T-⁜3(i) was unique in that it had the ability to process animated behavioural algorithms that included many complex functions including irrational and imaginary dynamics which made it appear realistically human from the right distance because of the fluidity and balance expressed by these and other intricate inclusions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Automated variant drone Version 0.T-⁜3(i) enjoyed synchronising with the different weathers and following behavioural clues that auto corrected its relevant flaws in development from local infra red sensor converters placed strategically throughout the current course.  Often it encountered other inhabitants of the market place who were in need of all kinds of appropriate treatment, and if the automated variant drone Version 0.T-⁜3(i) couldn't perform such, it found unequivocal substitutes.  The substance of the occasional interactions were indescribable compilations consisting of incomparable relevance and precision of forms holding fast to the most thorough, yet efficient standards of relationship compatibilities.  Sometimes the outcome lead to prolonged procedures in proximity to automated variant drone Version 0.T-⁜3(i) which it was well prepared to accommodate with mutual benefice.  An interior usage monitor accounted for the many types of sojourns it made in the company of others, and carrying wanted beverages was the highest in frequency of occurrence.  So the case happened to be this occasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon acquiring the wanted beverages the automated variant drone Version 0.T-⁜3(i)  joined the collection of beverage bearing figures on their way to 1401 Josephine Street Suite Five Hundred Four in Denver Colorado without interruption or delay, for that is the concurrent result of sound programming.  Upon arriving thus, automated variant drone Version 0.T-⁜3(i) delivers aural signals to the media processing security force within.  Upon receiving spontaneous entry vectors, they entered the veranda.  Its sweeping everything stimuli refreshed the transitional sequences to which they were affected by the insane coordinate parameters that were improvisationally (without planning) updating a perceptions database cross referencing crawler and application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They remained satisfactorily silent while what amounts to the equivalent of psychic euphoria drew them into a courtyard library.  There, they sampled different literary rhetoric codecs from ages passed while their insides almost ached from compatible psychosomatic thermodynamic emotional perception goals transcendent and satisfactory as well.  A positional directive transformer assisted the detailed aims of stopping on an apparently meaningless coordinate before proceeding to a final set in the sustained defaults previously mentioned yet in a slightly less grave location, relatively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hall representation was persuasive, convincing, and almost seductive in its institutional draw.  The  impression of late twentieth century gaseous lighting somehow gripped them in a sort of permanence attained indefinitely but with momentum comfortably still with what amounts to digging the cyclic streaming full conscious inside out many phased pleasant massage input data.  Their individual security regulations inhibited system corruption overloads, yet the relevantly insubstantial attempts proved to be nothing more than transitionally decorative favourable contacts.    &lt;br /&gt;They appeared in offset formats to lean in to the vicinity of their social directive membrane interface parameter until the relative levels of symbiosis were reached.  The security force within acknowledged the scheduled invasion interval, and performed adequate procedures to thoroughly decode this anomaly. Upon completing encryption extraction operations, the detected plurality proved generic and harmless yet potentially beneficial.  The security force recognised the aural identification variable and opened the communication channels.  The three were now interfacing through a narrowly specific sub category of inter-dimensional relativity coordinations.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There would certainly be diversely assorted libations inside to enjoy with conversations, music, dancing, or literature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were usually a

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Name of the Young Man Was Don Julio Juan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;     His father was a priest at the cathedral in the center of the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mismo&lt;/span&gt; hill top village.  He was a sort of liberal priest who allowed dance parties at the cathedral.  The villagers loved &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;la&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;salsa, el meringue &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;el tango&lt;/span&gt; as&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;well as some &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sympatico &lt;/span&gt;improvisational indigenous choreography.  A family friend had come to visit young Julio Juan soon after his birth and affectionately nick named him 'Don' Julio Juan which every one almost 'fecetiously' accepted.  Don Julio Juan however did not dance -- ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  It was not that he did not approve; he just did not feel like the sort of person to participate.  He almost considered it too primitive and/or out of place in time, but he tolerated it well enough.  In fact, he enjoyed watching the people in motion, so rhythmic, that sometimes he entered a partial trance himself and time would just fly by as if he were really having fun to the beat of the latest popular local band into the early morning hours of a perfect night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  His mother was always either awake or immediately awoke when he returned home; for she wanted dearly to learn the news of the evening.  She always hoped that he would bring home another &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;novia&lt;/span&gt; to meet her like he had so many times in the past.  His father was always sleeping contentedly, though, only letting out the occasional subconscious grunt or snore.  These humble explitives happened so seldom, however, that it rarely bothered his only wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Don Julio Juan was not their only child, though.  He was the younger brother by two years of an older sister.  They were both smart, budding, young, innocent intellectuals; and academics came easily to them.  In fact, they were almost completely bored with the ordinary curriculum that the village school offered.   Don Julio Juan also excelled at atheletics -- especially &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;el futbol&lt;/span&gt;.  His sister, meanwhile, studied dance and longed to one day join a magnificent international company while playing the piano classically calmed her through especially on rainy days when it was not feasible to travel the journey of a difficult mile to dance rehearsals.  Her artistic endeavors paled, however, in comparison with the love she had for her parents and her little &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;hermano&lt;/span&gt; with whom she shared so much in common, yet at the same times so little as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  So, Don Julio Juan was blessed and cursed with a mother that suffocatingly smothered him eventually to the point of madness with protection, attention, and nourishment while his father never strayed from his work aside from giving the rest of the family an occasional indoctrination on behalf of the beloved yet  oppressive &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;iglesia&lt;/span&gt;.    &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La madrecita&lt;/span&gt;, however, began to take illness and spent many weeks in the infirmary.  The marriage faltered, and she soon died an agonizingly painful death over the period of a few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  In the precious few moments that Don Julio Juan had with her immediately before her death, he brought to her a remarkable stone that he collected from the summit of the highest mountain around.  He thought that it would show to her how much she really meant to him and possibly absolve him from all of the times that he misbehaved (as children often did there).  He left the stone with her, as he could not bear to see her go.  He never encountered that stone again, though; but he could not forget it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The funeral came and went all too uneventfully for Don Julio Juan to even notice in the gentle haze of a newly wrought grief.  He began to abuse illicit substances and to be quite popular among the local gangs of ill repute in the area because of the importance of his father and absence of his mother.  He fell out of favor with the education and athletic potential that once seemed promising to such a  life that was previously so full of optimistic opportunities.  In his best attempt to fulfill what he gathered were his dearly departed mother's wishes for his life, he turned to music as a last resort in his feeble -- approaching invalid -- attempts to keep hope for her earnest, albeit informal &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;noblesse oblige&lt;/span&gt; alive.  He found insufficient sustenance there to even peremptorily maintain any kind of dignity in the face of what was even to him a dark and unexpectedly tragic turn in the melodrama that had become his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  As a result of these and many more failed attempts at 'saving face,' Don Julio Juan became not only disheartened, but he lost touch with &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;every&lt;/span&gt; beneficent faculty that had once so thoroughly graced his yet to be consciously fruitful character.  His one remaining hope was with the prayer within him that &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt; ceased.  On the verge of seriously attempting to end his own immature existence in the gravest of manners, he began to feel that very prayer swelling up ever so gently within him.  It brought comfort and relief to what the experts were calling his 'mental diseases' and to his unsolicited &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;y &lt;/span&gt;introverted over exertions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Where his gaze had long been fixated far below the usual even keel that the village had come to expect from him in earlier days, he began to see glimpses of a new, yet somehow familiar ray of light softly, gently illuminating at first tiny points in the dark abyss of his heretofore neglected period of grief.  They seemed even in their apparent insignificance to win him over with their playful persistance, and even the meekest of their nevertheless peculiar behaviours could do naught but enlighten his heaviest predicament.  As their efforts began to prove even the slightest bit effective, he began to notice the points grow in to lines --  as if the gods themselves were leading him on, ahead, and forward to a place he had never imagined -- much less conceived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Don Julio Juan was embarking upon a journey that he had never studied about in school, heard about from his father, or seen in the lifestyles of the people that he admired in town.  Though, he could feel a great part of him balk in cautious hesitation to the nuance of such an addictively clever and seductively lucid transcendence, the only words that he could muster were, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'milagro de los milagros!'  &lt;/span&gt;He became a new person altogether but somehow without abandoning all the important lessons that he recollected from previous days and nights that he had spent with the prayer that had been with him all along, though he may never have noticed.  All the while, thereafter too, the prayer was there with him -- comforting him when he felt uneasy, relieving him of the torments from his past that occasioned to haunt him, and protecting him from further nefariousness &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;et cetera et alii&lt;/span&gt; that he might encounter in his soon to be universally respectful and nevertheless brilliant while at the same time being indefinitely sustainable future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:arial;" &gt;Alternate Excerpt:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; As Don Julio Juan began to gracefully navigate the transition between what was left of his family life and the society of the neighborhood streets, he began to hear stories of dissent towards what he thought was a just government that gradually changed his mind and political position towards the ruling class of authority.  His father being a well respected member of the clergy, he often associated himself with the class of aristocrats who currently ran the country's affairs.  But now that he was among the less privileged people who ran the streets.  His mind began to change from general satisfaction into a whirlwind of questions to the authorities that he had once just admired.  This mutation of his personal constitution eventually manifested itself in the form of open dissent for the status quo poverty was growing among the population as the smallest percentage of people gained control of the majority of the otherwise poor country's wealth and consequently bought more and more influence in the affairs of the allegedly impartial fledgeling government which was creating a snowball effect that could only lead to a society so partial, unjust, and disharmonious that Don Julio Juan began to despair for the future and he swore never to think of bringing children into such a systematically declining state of affairs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:arial;" &gt;Eventually, the authority learned of Don Julio Juan's growing distrust for their arguably corrupt policies, and they were well aware of his potentially powerful position in society.  So they committed him to the state hospital for the mentally ill consequently destroying any chance he might have had to awaken the throngs of zombies in the streets who were clueless about politics, and who would perhaps now never trust Don Julio Juan who was temporarily considered psychologically unfit to persuade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-1244752304399872985?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/1244752304399872985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/01/name-of-young-man-was-don-julio-juan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/1244752304399872985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/1244752304399872985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/01/name-of-young-man-was-don-julio-juan.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-556833073298598420</id><published>2009-01-11T14:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T14:50:12.980-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ye Plan of Ole&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going to a café&lt;br /&gt;At dusk&lt;br /&gt;Near the end of summer&lt;br /&gt;Not knowing what to expect&lt;br /&gt;Except the possibility of&lt;br /&gt;Resuscitating a comatose book&lt;br /&gt;From the shelves there&lt;br /&gt;With which to endure&lt;br /&gt;The night&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-556833073298598420?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/556833073298598420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/01/ye-plan-of-ole-going-to-caf-at-dusk.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/556833073298598420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/556833073298598420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2009/01/ye-plan-of-ole-going-to-caf-at-dusk.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-4158140962914606900</id><published>2009-01-10T22:10:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T20:44:37.407-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I found this draft of a four and a half year old message of mine saved on my yahoo account that I don't even know whether or not I sent at all:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 17:57:45 -0700 (PDT)&lt;br /&gt;From: nonanticipation@yahoo.com&lt;br /&gt;Subject: Poetry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are the poems I've written in the past couple of days.

They were doing what looked to me like some improvisational rehearsing on a relatively empty stage in warm up type threads.  And it struck me that everything we do is dancing to the open mind.  Every breath, blink, and heart beat is a part of the grand choreography of the cosmos.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too many people hear the word 'dance' and think of a classification like ballet, ballroom, et cetera.  They miss the circumstances in which even the most apparently insignificant motions and seemingly inconsequential actions have a role on the universal stage, and are in all honest regards dances in the freest sense of the idea!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dance is no longer confined to the designated floors and stages.  There are improvisations to make in the least likely of places.  Perhaps awkward, maybe vulgar, possibly inconceivable moves are nevertheless important contributions to the canon of all actions ever attributed to the cosmic dance of eternity that has neither beginning nor end!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, do whatever it is that you do!  Your life is important!  Your moves are essential!  There is room for you on the unlimited dance floor of eternity!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-5646961208290557022?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/5646961208290557022/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-just-saw-decent-video-of-dance-trio.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/5646961208290557022'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/5646961208290557022'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-just-saw-decent-video-of-dance-trio.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-8435167471395307342</id><published>2008-12-06T19:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-06T20:01:45.677-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>When I think about all that leads up to this moment,&lt;br /&gt;It's overwhelming to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than three decades of preparation for this moment,&lt;br /&gt;And what is there to show, but these words!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, though painfully begotten in part,&lt;br /&gt;Words themselves are not entirely invaluable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major religions started with perhaps just a word,&lt;br /&gt;However, this result is not my intention at the moment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon reading much further in the archive,&lt;br /&gt;One may find that I am far from such complications!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I suppose it is my wish to simply caress the eyes&lt;br /&gt;With a thoughtful idea, a carefree verse, or an intriguing concept!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, what faculty of life would there be&lt;br /&gt;Without the persistence of analogous ramifications!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea, many are still bound to the dichotomous hypotheses&lt;br /&gt;Of a suppressive school of thought!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there are yet factions reiterating the diverse possibilities&lt;br /&gt;Inherent to the potential of infinite posthumous alternatives!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in weeping--let us weep abundantly,&lt;br /&gt;Not bowing to petty grievences of an obsolete epoch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In loving, may we love--in our own way--honestly,&lt;br /&gt;With no regard for systems of conformity projected towards us by invalid figureheads!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in parting, may we part in glory,&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that the space between us is as valuable--in its own way--as our proximity to eachother!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-8435167471395307342?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/8435167471395307342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/12/when-i-think-about-all-that-leads-up-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/8435167471395307342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/8435167471395307342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/12/when-i-think-about-all-that-leads-up-to.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-8570863974300124815</id><published>2008-11-29T08:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T08:28:40.753-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>When it occurs to us that there may be some who are trapped in neglected isolation; who are quite possibly either unaware of their own mistreatment or unable to communicate this knowledge to those who will help alleviate such afflictions.  Let our eternal prayers go out to them and ourselves with sincere hopes that somehow injustice can be addressed and concurrently dissolved in good time.&lt;br /&gt;If there is even the slightest uneasiness about in anyone's life, may it be resolved in the timeliest of manners.  If we think that we are powerless in such inconceivable duress, remember that we can take respectful action and pray that some miraculous concept will immediately reach them whenever they might be suffering at the hands of a fate fit for no one.  Let there be an appropriate angel there to comfort them when there is little else to feel, and even  when everything all comes at them at once.  For, in our minds, we can know that whatever afflicts our beloved, and even our enemies has an antidote and a resolution fit for application to the given moments with grace, mercy, and compassion of  the beneficent powers that await the charges of concerned persons that long to share the good will and accommodation that might seem to have come easily to themselves, but that also confounds in essence the others who apparently also deserve such attentions in these awkward times.&lt;br /&gt;Often people feel the need to travel great distances to address these concerns, but in earnest, I beseech thee to in stillness be vigilant towards the matters that lurk in great proximity to our nearest locales and first appropriate their justice reasonably and do not doubt the powers of simplicity of thought and deed where a great journey only leaves the most imminent dangers free to persist in their vulgarity without the righteous influence of their inherent propriety that often leaves them in search of an inequitable and quite possibly even depraved concept too foreign for even our humblest means to impress.  I leave us this day with the highest regards of kindness and divine love and understanding, entrusting the most important missions to intangible, but omnipotent powers that can and will ably address our most pressing concerns more efficiently without the interference of our human imperfections.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>Saint Augustine&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To ease the bickering, Joe and Mary decided to take a short sojourn into the forest for a few days. They were growing diseased with urban plagues that used their tentacles to massage a couple of brains with intermittent annoyances and debits. In the woods, they could champion the infestations that urban living and debt had afforded them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They each packed one carry on suitcase, loaded them in the car, and left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way, they managed a comfortable silence between them; only interrupted by the music and talk coming from the satellite radio sound system. Mary's one distraction was the i-phone as it often respectfully interrupted her from the pleasant hypnosis of the journey into nature. She would only leave it behind when the car stopped out in the wilderness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.After a long day of driving together, they gracefully slid into an inter-dimensional time warp and began to mobb aliens that had taken over the planet twenty centuries into the future.&lt;br /&gt;2.The car never stopped. In fact, it is still driving to this day, and Mary's i-phone just kept interrupting.&lt;br /&gt;3.Eventually she discovered an asana in which she could comfortably operate the phone without injuring herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, when they arrived, they smoked a joint together and their spirits rose as they walked underneath the canopy of the rain forest. They heard birds and avoided stepping on bugs as they continued into the damp coolness that began to flood them with refreshment. They felt small next to the uncut oaks and poplars whose massive trunks towered between the forest ceiling and the soil which was dark, moist, and spongy beneath them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One particular bird flew right up next to them and perched on a head high shrub in front of them. Their hearts almost disintegrated when the bird suddenly deanimated and fell the the earth dead. They both instantly began to weep together on each other's shoulders in eachother's arms sobbing. If only Mary had brought her i=phone, she could have run a veterinary lifesaving application and revived the bird in seconds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe and Mary were now enjoying a completely ruined expedition—or so they thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of a hovering bank of fog that had accumulated nearby, materialized the specter of St. Augustine translucent radiant relaxing. They began to fall asleep until he gently raised his hand and began to speak. Their chests pulsated as he said Wassup homies? Don't get bummed 'cause the bird died. Be grateful for this valuable lesson that could forge a brilliant character within you if you chose to accept that it is for the good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Augustine then disappeared, leaving the couple feeling redeemed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instantly, they both knew that they needed to find some skinny jeans to try on. Everyone was wearing them, and it would be a shame if they didn't find out what they look like in them. Plus, after this trip through the woods, it would have been too long between shopping trips. Tom knew of a sale at one store and Mary had a gift card from the same store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They felt very hungry all of a sudden and decided to build a fire and cook and eat the bird that would have rotted if they just left it there. After they eat, they cleaned the bones and made jewelry out of them and put them in their piercings, chanted out to God and fell asleep. They both woke up and squirted all over their clothes, so they rinsed off in a nearby stream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the grey pre dawn myst, they walke back to the transportation and left. As Mary drove them back to the city, Joe fell back asleep and dreamed of metal eagles and antique weapons and when he woke he remembered nothing but they arrived at their warehouse in the city. The parking lot was right next to the train tracks and looked like old cracking black top with faded lines and lots of loose rocks and weeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside, it was well insulated and they instantly felt very cozy. The custom home sound system detected their presence and mood before selecting music to compliment that information. Mary checked the email, and Joe checked the voice mail but the cat's meow interrupted them and they really loved that cat. So, they gave it food and water and affection. Damn, they loved that cat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe found a message for Mary and Mary found an email for Joe. They shared a lot in their lives together. They loved to take walks. So, after they responded to all the communications, the took a walk. They were such fans of perambulation, that they made sure to have some every business day. They saved many tokens by choosing this free form of occupation. They could have saved more tokens by replacing the cat with a smaller animal perhaps a rodent or insect, and definitely a turtle, but they loved the cat too much. They have plenty of tokens. They were good at the token economy level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On their walk, they had been comfortably silent together for way too long and they began to mentally drift apart, but they were still walking together physically. They liked to walk together physically, mentally and spiritually, but sometimes circumstances left their control useless. They remembered what St. Augustine had said and they obeyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They planned a tobacco ceremony, but they couldn't find a qualified shaman on as short a notice as they wanted. Astrology was very important to them, and they new that it was more auspicious to have it soon, before the cosmos transformed into an incompatible paradigm. They saved tokens by not having this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their tokens seemed less important though than reuniting mentally after their recent mental drift apart. They had had these before, but that was a different paradigm. They new it would pass, and they remembered the skinny jeans again and they had to have them. They went online and ordered them to be delivered next day air. They could wait one day, but no longer. This was crucial. Mary wanted to try some that showed her coin slot. Joe wanted to put tokens in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skinny jeans had reintroduced them to mental unity by way of the memory of St. Augustine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They decided to spend the evening in the shop building furniture. They felt guilty for using all the furniture they had without contributing some of their own. They built tables and chairs and shelves and cabinets. They relieved their furniture guilt in no time. Then they felt very pious before bed. They slept like babies together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they woke up, they each drank a half gallon of wheat grass juice and bounced around the room very spiritually expecting their skinny jeans to arrive later. They were sure that St. Augustine would love to see how they looked. Who knew, they might just wear them once and send them back for someone else to enjoy. They did that a lot and they were sure it had happened to them before, positive!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-4033246556464801579?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/4033246556464801579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/10/st-augustine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/4033246556464801579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/4033246556464801579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/10/st-augustine.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-3342641266394947865</id><published>2008-10-22T18:17:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T03:08:41.207-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I do not think much about the hallucinations anymore. That stuff gets me down and I have moved on. I am different! I am free to put in the time I need to develop the creative process in this life. It is moving very slowly right now. It is steady though. I am toughening up my image by summoning darker adornments. It was very cool today and overcast as well, but it did not rain. It misted steadily last night. It was nice. I also caught a mouse temporarily! From across the room, I heard the trap close, but by the time I got over there, the mouse was gone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the past two days I have noticed a cool chair out on the porch of a distal neighbor when I exited the city bus. It seemed to beckon me to run away with it, but as I grew near, the semblance faded. That episode ended serenely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night in the mist, the downtown skyline was not visible and Denver looked like it could have been anywhere. Of course, I was at least a mile high!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I changed from a coaxial cable between the satellite receiver and the standard television to an 'S-Video' with the RCA cables, and now the sound and picture are remarkably different. I also have a better perspective now that I cleared the space in the middle of the drawing room and pushed all the furniture out against the walls. It is much more open now (good for greatness). I have been working more efficiently if you will. I seem to have created a post modern pagan death punk living space. I decided not to illuminate the string of blue lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A moth just flew in the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 September 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I think about something before I do it, and other times there is a difference. Sometimes, I apparently act without thinking. There I think is evidence of a relationship between thought and the interaction of individuals with themselves and the environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I think there must be something to that. The odds are against it, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it possible to plan a simple activity beforehand then carry it out in the universe and other times it is necessary to act spontaneously?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am informed that reality is a sort of function of probability. I might then assume that planning simply adjusts the probability of certain event(s); therefore altering reality somewhat, but does that explain the spontaneous event(s)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the probability of spontaneous events more significant because they are planned without our knowledge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, our environment must be elastic in a way in order to accommodate these different activities. For instance, one person might plan a walk around the block for an hour beforehand while another simply bolts(idiom?) out the door seemingly unforseeably(new word?). Yet both most likely will enjoy similar conditions on this hypothetical walk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In either case, where does the idea or catalyst for these (re)actions originate? Furthermore, it is my experience that these notions themselves tend to come in the form of language—in particular—English. (Later I intend to transform them into more realistic pictures instead of words, but my early development conditioned quite a different scenario). That raises the question of reconditioning our brains to submit to a different set of parameters. Suppose there is a force that governs action today that has always governed action throughout history--a “thought source” if the term is copacetic. The role of our genes for example is simply to interpret this wellspring of life. Then again arises the question of what it is that governs the interaction of these different interpretations with each other in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it seperate from the “thought source?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are they the same thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they are different, then are they connected?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they are connected, are they then harmoniously balanced?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps I seek to uncover specific universal authorities that create the random probability of reality. Maybe it is not as random as I think!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where does all this shit come from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, these words are English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us discover what influences their order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it what we see?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it what we smell?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it what we hear?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it what we touch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it what we taste?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it is a just combination of everything—a gestalt force—that does not simply regurgitate the information available, but that instead combines all that into an original stream of consciousness. So, I am concentrating on the brain area that assimilates all of the stimulating data and converts it into 'thoughts' and/or 'actions.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so the brain collects data from/through all of the different avenues and then distributes it carefully through others. Thoughts seem to be products and/or indicators of the brain communicating with itself fruitfully. What if these linguistic thoughts were eliminated and thus allowed the brain to function more efficiently?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Broca's area really even necessary?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presumably, there are people who do not think verbally as much as others and certainly many include other languages than their native one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I should learn another language; the sensually holistic one. The one that concurrently plans a life that occurs seamlessly within both the universe and harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What constitutes a choice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, the brain actually produces multiple options from which it chooses one course of action to pursue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How specifically does this happen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What neurons are involved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which neurotransmitters are active?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are hormones affected?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does the mind maintain one train of thought throughout a nonspecific environment?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should all this be instinct?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What else is there anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If instinct does not in fact determine us, then what (actually) does?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What precisely is instinct?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is intuition and from where does it arise?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the difference, if any, between instinct, intuition, and impulse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When did humans begin to think, plan, and organize; and why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do most of us only remember certain things and not others?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why remember at all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presume that forethought and spontaneity are functions of the same equation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe a random symphony of cosmic events contributes to these circumstances and this also might account for forethought—it being basically a slower manifestation of these variables of probability that might be subject to the ego and/or subconscious operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing this actually helps to organize and develop a form of expression while acting to create the illusion of time passing more quickly. It is also fascinating because it is sort of an Anglicized translation of the effect the universe is having on me at this moment. I am contemplating also the subconscious and I am searching for a suitable moniker that combines subconscious and conscious into one holistic system that is not really separate one from the other. I temporarily call it the soul for lack of an eclectic term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not like to differentiate between conscious and subconscious because I think of them as one complete system. However, I digress and it only goes to imply that the subconscious v. subconscious issue does not in fact factor into this equation since there really is no boundary between them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the harmonious cultivation of reflective communications we can not only make our own life better but also in so doing contribute to the copacetic evolution of others and our environments as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, it has become no big secret that intentions (bi-products of communal sensory perceptions?) can to a certain extent determine our relative success and/or failure. It seems imperative to consider an infinite array of possibilities, and to form our own intentions that are also copacetic with any number of random combinations of such circumstances. This might require ill formed, terminal, yet flexible intentions and an observant and comfortably thorough outlook throughout a mindful life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally and currently, being a predominately verbal thinker, I aspire to develop these intentions in a more sustainable asceticism. Therefore, not limiting any source code at any given time to one language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I actually think that it would be a step backward to unlearn a native tongue, but it is possible to sustainably save any acquired knowledge in balance with any forthcoming amendments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look at a chair&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not always think “chair”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listening to instrumental music actually causes or at least encourages a brain to engage in a linguistic thought process cognitively mapping what those sounds would look like, I challenge myself with the relief I find through completely unrelated topics somehow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to some extent we may chose our own compatible course in life. Contrarily, there currently are entities beyond our control, but they seem to be a beneficent consensus of the voices in our heads right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why are they voices instead of pictures, music, or scents?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Presently, I would say that is because of my aging conditions).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~changing environments alters consciousness~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if thought itself is actually controlled by an extra terrestrial or inter-dimensional source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never mind that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects on earth of inter-dimensional or extra-terrestrial entities is not significant enough to be a factor. I know it is true! I heard it from the television!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in the vastly unexplained and as yet immeasurably large universe, there is a speck called earth where a species of complex life is producing Anglicized thought that often leads to action in coincidence with a collaboration of seemingly random variables in the local environments. Often they can relate and even astonishingly agree with each other, often and possibly much more likely—they do not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I think text of a sort is of some sort of foreign and inappropriate entity. It just seems too out of place in this universe. Maybe this is why I consider verbal thinking such a impediment as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times has something unfortunate happened due to thoughtless word choices?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All too often it seems to continue. I guess, though, that the benefits outweigh the consequences overall. Otherwise, life would be different and this manuscript would not exist as such! So maybe verbal skills are a successful survival adaptation in a collectively human organism. Words are now a necessary bi-product of cognition that we use to communicate with each other and ourselves. That is not even the issue though. I am happy to say. I guess what I am saying is that within the brain there is an area dedicated to converting stimuli into verbal response. To me this is a useful accessory but not altogether necessary for ubiquitous survival. As an accessory, though, it allows one the ability to prolong, suspend, personalize, customize, and otherwise tweak existence among other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our intentions often materialize as a consequence of speech as well. We should be very careful in that if we allow them to exist only in words, this could limit our opportunity to capitalize on them if there are non-verbal clues to these opportunities and we cursorily ignore them based on the verbal information that is available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I am saying that it is possible to get so caught up in the language that we can lose sight of the ultimate goals or the 'big picture.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, hmm . . . does that mean that the language produced in the brain somehow can touch the nerves that produce action?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am again drawn to the 'soul' issue that effused earlier. What I am now saying is that the words are always there, but a person is not conscious of them until they crystallize in the mind. When they crystallize in the mind, they are then CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS until they either interrupt or transform into action[.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not think of the subconscious like Freud and/or Jung. I simply see it as the autonomic processes of the body. The ones that 'we' do not 'control,' but that are necessary for survival. Why is survival so important anyway? The end of life on earth in the scope of this monstrous universe is really not even significant on a universal scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cogito&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, nothing that goes on here even has a significant affect on our nearest star—a slightly bigger, but still ultimately insignificant in the exponential gigantic nature of the known universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 September 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I find myself revising and editing my thoughts and waiting until they are well manicured before submitting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the past decade, I have gradually noticed the nostalgic memories of the crazy lustful loves of youth degrading over time and I wonder if I will ever even love someone else maybe not in the same way, but at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a relief though not to be burdened with thoughts of and old love so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning to let go is the beginning of a long process—long but sustainably rewarding at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Greenwich Meantimes, I have gotten into organizing things differently. I have actually learned to appropriate cleanliness and order to and extent that I never did before, but not obsessively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that I always desired that, but it has only been lately that I have had the circumstances available that are also conducive enough for such endeavors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If everything in the universe is made up of sub-atomic particles, particles, nuclei, atoms, molecules, et cetera ad nauseum; then to me it seems that people are no more or less significant than rocks or trees or whatever else—just different organisms of the building blocks that shape existence. Then there is dark matter. I will maybe have more to say about that when the Large Hadron Collider officially becomes operational near Switzerland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, the known specifications are too vague and/or theoretical to consider. All I know is that dark matter is what makes up the largest part of the known universe and it might be what is left when nothing else is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 October 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Density Gradient&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Synthetic Fusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know the routine and I'm good at it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thermodynamic Ashtrays&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the nicest people on the bus are blazed out of their minds!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am just writing because I am on camera, and I need something else to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that is prolly gist 'bout NUFF SED!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-3342641266394947865?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/3342641266394947865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/10/september-2008.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/3342641266394947865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/3342641266394947865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/10/september-2008.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-7801540381280737483</id><published>2008-10-22T16:37:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T03:09:31.310-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>22 October 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been in Denver now for three years. Hard to believe, but not so much so in relation to the more than a decade that slipt by under the guise of education. Too bad I can't remember a damn bit of it. My guess is that if I could remember it all, it might just be too overwhelming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So should I be thankful that I am completely oblivious to almost everything in my past?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, it is possible that all that experience sort of consolidates itself into a sort of subliminal network of learned behaviors that require no accompanying memories to apply them. They might just get in the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I've been noticing certain signs. I recently set a stone tile into a tabletop. When I walked through downtown, I heard a street musician singing, “Now, my heart is made of stone.” It made me think that my table might be the soul of that singer, and by dropping a tile of stone into it, I had hardened his heart. Furthermore, I've been noticing some effects of artwork that goes beyond simply being a beautiful sight. I found a sort of black plywood canvas in an alley and I cut a blue ripple 2x4 out of a magazine and glued it to the black plywood 48x48. Later, as I sat meditating with it hanging on the wall I noticed that I was feeling very black for a while, then in the middle of all of it, I felt a sort of rippling blue tranquility like the small blue ripple in a large field of black that still hangs there on the wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When, I walked to the bus stop I felt an amazing gravitas pull me into the shelter. It seemed to be coming from the guy who was already standing in there. I waited there on one end of the shelter for a minute, and it went away. For the sake of caution, I waited for a while on the bench nearby. While I was waiting, my homeboy walked up. “Amazing,” I thought. If I hadn't been drawn into the shelter for that minute, I would have jumped on the bus and been gone without ever seeing my friend. I found it almost chilling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even with all this happening, I feel doomed at times. Doomed to either be trapped by my own warped logic, or controlled by someone else's. I've been saying that I'm not interested in making money, and that I'd rather have intangible rewards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that a load of horse shit or what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really, though, I guess what I'm saying is there are certain things that money just can't buy. I know it might sound weak to some, but just trust me, okay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wind is absolutely howling outside the windows, and it is very cold this morning. Soon, the snow will fall, and we will see snow cover the mountains again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a relief!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope my heater starts heating soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4723613484128682515-7801540381280737483?l=thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/feeds/7801540381280737483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/10/22-october-2008.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/7801540381280737483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4723613484128682515/posts/default/7801540381280737483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thomasmcwhorter.blogspot.com/2008/10/22-october-2008.html' title=''/><author><name>Thomas Nelson McWhorter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02145235395651530160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rgQirFcno8s/SaDDcNQVK7I/AAAAAAAAADA/cKJZ6ZYhHoQ/S220/Z.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723613484128682515.post-3687755953161394376</id><published>2008-10-21T18:03:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-11-23T03:10:28.892-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>The Misfortune of Beginning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I accidentally enabled transliteration on my first entry and consequently lost all that data trying to undo it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I am sitting here in a cafe in Denver enjoying a 'dirty chai' that is a chai (this one happens to be a local brew that is heavy on the ginger &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;tres bien&lt;/span&gt;) with a shot of espresso.
