Blah Blah Blog...

I make it a habit to always carry a pen with me everywhere I go...

So this year I thought to myself:

What better way to say "Happy Holidays" than with a little clever editing of our favorite "Corporate Coffee Whore”.

And here's a little haiku -- just for fun:

No sugar-coating
'Tis the season to be crude
Santa says: fuck off

Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Peace and Love and all that good stuff,
Amunki

One of my favorite writers. Ambrose Bierce is mostly known for writing "The Devil's Dictionary" (Where he would take words and re-define them in his usual satirical/cynical fashion).

This brilliant man gave us such classics as:

"Acquaintance : A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to".

"Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum: I think that I think, therefore I think that I am".

"Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility".

"Dawn: When men of reason go to bed".

"Edible, adj.: Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm".

"Education, n.: That which discloses the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding".

"Egotist: A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me".

"Faith: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel".

"Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage".

"Philosophy: A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing".

"Pray: To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy".

"Saint: A dead sinner revised and edited".

"Sweater, noun.: A garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly".

"War: God's way of teaching Americans geography".

Listening to: 99.7 -- as some whiny teenagers sing about rebellion

Wearing: Black (head to toe)

Eating: My heart out

Feeling: Blah(ish)

Latest obsession: Krishna

Maybe I should become: A Hare Krishna devotee (or somethin' like that). First, I'd be required to become a vegetarian. So that's healthy. Then, I can get all pimped out in my saffron-colored robe, play my tambourine and chant in a trace-like state on the streets all day. Big up to the K!

The Mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Note:
"Hare"- is a call to his divine energy
Krishna- means "All-attractive"
Rama- means "The highest eternal pleasure"

---Rama Lama Ding Dong Cheech and Chong ---

Wish I was: More centered.

Wish I wasn't: So scattered.

and I will leave you with the quote of the day:

"At times I think and at times I am".
--Paul Valery

Blue skies above me
Relieve me from feeling blue
Somewhere Krishna smiles...

Ok...

So I typed in "Kuwait" on google/image search, and found the following (among many others).

I can't decide if I should be rolling on the floor laughing, or giving every person who agrees with this statement the finger...

Hmmm...

More is to follow on this topic.

Listening to: "I need you tonight" by INXS (Excellent song).

Wearing: A Peacock Blue sweater and feeling fabulous dahling...

Eating: Cookies from Fuddruckers. Yum Yum.

Feeling: C-c-c-old!

Latest obsession: Cupcakes (among other goodies)

Currently reading : "Mostly Harmless" by Douglas Adams (for the 8th time--- Some books just never get old)

Diet Status: I am going into complete relapse! Cannot control confectionary cravings. Damn.

Lately I've been thinking of: Moving to Europe (or something)

Something I want try that I haven't tried yet: Surfing

Song I absolutely HATE: Shania Twain's duet with Mark Mcgrath "Party for Two". It is complete and utter SHITE!!!
No shit, mind you, but "Shite" (which is infinitely worse)

and I will leave you with the quote of the day:

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely fool-proof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools".
--Douglas Adams

Here's something y'all probably didn't know...

The names of the "three wise monkeys" are:

Mikazaru: Hear no evil

Mazaru: Speak no evil

Mizaru: See no evil


Their So-called Origin:

The Nikko Toshogo Shrine (also known as the "Sacred Stable") Japan has a carving of three wise monkeys. Many scholars believe the monkeys were carved as a visual representation of the religious principle:
"If we do not hear, see, or speak evil, we ourselves shall be spared all evil".

Others believe that the saying originated from a Japanese play on words. "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" translated into Japanese is, "mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru".

The Japanese word for monkey is "saru", and sounds very similar to the verb-ending "zaru".
It is easy to see how the saying may have originated from a fun play on words.

The only problem with this explanation is that the three wise monkeys aren’t originally from Japan...

In the 8th century A.D., a Buddhist monk from China introduced the three wise monkeys to Japan. They were associated with a fearsome blue-faced deity called "Vadjra".
It is believed that the monkeys’ gestures were a representation of a command of the deity to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

Whatever the origin and meaning, it is one of the "wisest" phrases and something we should all strive to live by...

(Well, except for the seeing, hearing and speaking part---I mean, can you guys really live without porn, rap music/cussing and gossip?)

Amunki says: "A cupcake is like a hug with icing"!

Sodden
Trodden
I await the binary
To bring a reply
Patience running thin
Dysphoria setting in
I spread myself on too thick
I think...
I wear the idea
Of you
Like galoshes
Stomping
Wherever I please...
Water makes its way
In
Drenching my skin
This constant reminder
Soaks me through and through
Absconding from these notions
I trudge on
Grudge-ridden
The wind blows through my hair
Reminding me of my gender
Bent
Spent
Taking
One sip at a time
Uttering my own name
Saturated
Wet like a wet sock
Cold
At home
In this grey monochrome...
