honest mistake part II

It turns out that they were following the directions that came with the plant. The directions said in essence, "give the plant a cup of water every day and the plant is gonna die and there's nothing you can do about it." Nothing to do about it? How about not following those devious instructions. Put that plant in a clay pot with drainage, don't over water and I guarantee that the plant won't die. Those marketing bastards.

honest mistake

My Dad bought a rosemary plant that was in the shape and form of a minature christmas tree. Less than a week and the plant is already dead. The container that the plant was in was nice and christmas-y looking, but had absolutely no drainage, and of course everyone knows that plants need water. I'm sure there's a lesson in that somewhere.

just an idea

I have been thinking about the meaning of the word 'spiritual.' And what I have come up with is that it is the "great something else." You want "w" so that you can have, or get somewhere along the line: x, y and z and be happy. But something happens and 'w' never comes or perhaps w comes but it turns out that x, y, and z aren't really that great. Things then are as they are, yet inexplicably you are happy. The spiritual is that "great something else" that is, happiness independent of wants and desires. In the language of the previous posts Heaven is a trainwreck and Hell is a clusterf_ck.

pissing calvin decal

Today, I saw one of those pissing calvin decals the kind that are often on the rear window of pick up trucks only calvin wasn't peeing on a rival brand, say Ford if the driver happened to be in a Dodge. No, calvin was peeing on the name 'Satan' which got me thinking:"What if Satan was a perv and liked being peed on--wouldn't that sort of defeat the whole purpose?" Just something to think about.

Down a corridor I don't belong
I saw the Ouroboros never was
but the shadow of the Dragon's fall
to earth; illusion, coiled symmetry

bad haiku

Alone on the couch
Fear Factor is on but mute
TV-girl eats worms

Scorching desire
lifecycle of the jackpot
never extinguished

I'm 2% angry
at myself for wanting
what I cannot have

Sweet Antarctica,
My love for you is frozen.
So long, frosty bitch.
