There he is, injecting himself in the problems of others, in this case, a Spanish Revolution. In the end, he lays there, broken leg, facing death, a soldier to the end in a cause not his, while the countries occupants, who have a real stake in the war's outcome, offer to shoot him but then just take off on their horses. He like a good soldier, sacrifices even a good clean suicide death, to wait there, in howling pain, to kill an officer and give the countrymen rebels more time to escape. <br /><br />That's me I see in him, injecting myself to help others, well, I'm going to bed. The bell is tolling, but it's my alarm I'm hearing already.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-87020730674422884552011-07-22T00:28:31.589-07:002011-07-22T00:28:31.589-07:00Yes, Snow, I am one of the worst of the worst out ...Yes, Snow, I am one of the worst of the worst out there.<br /><br />Of course I made up the shit in the second story and I know it's a cleaner version than the Bible.

Surely, one of the worst. This is NOT funny. NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT. Well, okay, maybe a little.<br /><br />Jeez, Strayer. You made all that shit in your second response up, right? I mean, I've read the Bible, and I think the story it gives goes a little differently, something about a river instead of a tank and a snake instead of a fish. Of course, the tank owner (or river owner) does get really, really mad in the Bible story, and would have smashed the tank if not for his friendship with Noah, the drunkard who screwed his own daughters. Your story is at least a lot cleaner.<br /><br />Kay said: "I've seen 'the white light' that so many people report when they've had a near death experience and I found it comforting but don't ask me why..."<br /><br />I had what I would call a near death experience, but mine was on morphine, and, like yours, it comforted me.

Fish tank owners disagrees, says, let me prove it, installs a video cam so all in the other dimension can watch our shenanigans here, in the fish tank, and laugh, like a reality show in a way. We're supposed to be proving worthy, like fish tanker owner thinks we are. However, we are proving worthy as entertainment value, but the decree is holding and when the show is over, fish tank gets drained, smashed, end of story. Our story that is.

Pot often intensifies them temporarily, but it also enables me to look at them from unaccustomed angles.

It drew in a lot of people in the '80s, and was very much about how worldwide paradigm shifts could place overnight if critical mass was reached. Too bad that the conclusions he made based upon real research on monkeys was unrelated to the conclusions of the actual researchers.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23830899.post-22462324792751289802011-07-18T16:33:00.333-07:002011-07-18T16:33:00.333-07:00A little existential angst and dread thrown in the...A little existential angst and dread thrown in the mix.
