Survival Guide

No matter how old you are,

it helps to be young

when you’re coming to life,

to be unfinished, a mysterious statement,

a journey from star to star.

So break out a box of Crayolas

and draw your family

looking uncomfortably away

from the you you’ve exchanged

for the mannequin

they named. You should

help clean up, but you’re so busy being afraid

to love or not

you're missing the fun of clothing yourself

in the embarrassment of life.

Frost your lids with midnight;

lid your heart with frost;

rub them all over, the hormones that regulate

the production of love

from karmic garbage dumps.

Turn yourself into

the real you

you can only discover

by being other.

Voila! You’re free.

Learn to love the awkward silence

you are going to be.

"A life is worth it! It's worth smiling, it's worth loving It's worth kissing, it's worth hugging. It's worth what I see and what I just feel. It's worth living, it's worth infinity!"🤍🤍

This is a contrapoints style communist video essay.

I don't want to draw attention to it in the comments because no one is talking about but the second costume for the character Chad Marx at about one and a half minutes.

Is. Is this like horrifically anti semstic or somthing else? Again. If it is I think its a dog whistle and talking about it in the video comments would just make the it worse but also I liked the video and would prefer to be wrong. But also like I dont see what else it could be.

diannaagron Closing out our run tonight. It's been a privilege and an honor to play alongside these musical heroes of mine. I love what we've discovered night after night and I'm excited to give this show one last spin this evening. 💫

One time I watched a 9/11 documentary with the final calls of the victims in the planes and towers. People were just trying to get through their jobs. People jumped to their deaths rather than die in the fire. In the days following, people were waiting for survivors to be uncovered from the rubble. That moment never really came. First responder fire fighters are still dealing with lung issues today. I personally know someone who is going through this. I think there’s a difference between joking about something and just straight up being malicious. I don’t mean to get holier than thou but if you’re an American, it’s probably worth knowing what really happened; the actual human destruction that occurred. Also fuck osama bin ladin

After a very long period of time, I'm finally here!

Although I could take pictures of my study environment, my depressive mood didn't allow me to do what I really desire, which is running a blog with my bestie in a regular manner.

These are very fresh photos from today and yesterday. My new and last term at university has started but I can barely start to study. The daisies were given me by my cutie friend and the reason why I took the specific photo of one of them is that every other daisies are white and surprisingly this was yellow! I really like rare things in life so I wanted to share this with you.

Have a good day everyone!

Black Pears Journal

 Monday 10/25/2004 Just past 6am. still dark.Black Pearls Journal

Quotes from the National Best Seller “Black Pearls."

ANGER;  “ When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand, nor can your hand pick up anything.' Alex Haley from “Roots”

On this day, I…..ponder existence, 

Monday’s true spelling is anger.  The heart stops at 9am. Denny and Margie here. Intense, Burt fun. They sleep.

Think I’ll take the afternoon off. Call in sick. Vacation.Day Off. Lu day. Day to detail. Note. Notice. Collect. Appreciate. feel. To be. Huge effort. To get. To here. Take the day off. Off. Off what? Off the hook? Off means “In”.   In. Joy. Meant. I like goofing off more than Money. From Alan Watts book.

End of entry

Note:

I’d seen a little squib on CNN the day before I wrote the above entry. I believe that it said most heart attacks in the USA are at 9am Monday or on Saturday. It also said that 20% of US workers call in sick  because they just don’t feel like working. I think it was 20%.

As you can see from above and from the photo of this page I will post after I post this entry, at 9:30am 10/25/2004, fellow attorney Gene Trimble called to tell me that Superior Court Judge Wray Ladine died of a heart attack in the court house earlier that morning!

When I interviewed for a DA job in Modesto in The Spring of 1984, Wray Ladine, then a Deputy District Attorney, was one of two Da’s to interview me. I had also applied to work at the Stanislaus County Public Defender’s office. The Da’s office didn’t hire me. But, thg Public Defender’s office did.

 Wray Ladine died in the courtt house 10/25/2004.  What I heard was, the weekend before his death, an ambulance had been called to judge Ladine’s  house, but, he sent it away. He only had one case on in his Department, Department 8 that morning. He wasn’t supposed to be in that day,

At around 8:20am, before the case was called at 8:30am, he was sitting in a chair outside of his chamber’s by the bailiff’s desk. A Deputy District Attorney, and a Female probation  officer were in the area. 

They heard the judge’s pencil drop. They turned to watch  him collapse to the floor, dead. The court house community was horrified. For me, Department 8 has never been the same. 

So, kind of uncanny that I wrote about Monday morning heart attacks at 6am that morning. 

At 5:03pm, I noted that the #2 story on KCRA 3 TV News out of Sacramento was about Judge Ladine “Died in his chambers” A judge from 2000-2004.

Margie and Denny were my partner Jim’s mother and older brother.

They lived in San Luis Obispo County, a 4 or 5 hour drive from our house in Modesto.

They left for home that day, October 25, 2004..

It was the last time that we saw Margie in person before her death in April 2005.

Black Pearls Journal was a journal book I bought at a yard sale. It had not been written in. Each page contained  a quote from the book Black Pearls and the prompt “On this day, I…” followed by a blank space for you to write your thoughts.
