Best line I've heard in a long time:
"Looks like the garbage took out the trash!"
Exactly.
Working on some new site monitors. The usual combination of fun and
frustration. Amazing how many times one can fail to imagine edge
cases even when attempting to solve not too difficult a problem.
Thinking about a new guitar. Always a tough decision, mostly along
the lines of whether it's obsession or genuinely needed.
But, then, what isn't?
I get kind of a kick out of the silence that follows a political
comment. No idea what it's about, but of course negative
interpretations/guesses come to mind more readily than do positive
counterparts.
Really nice day after a somewhat grueling day of preparation
culminating in performance. Playing the accompaniment role to a
handful of newbie performers is more difficult than I'd
anticipated.
The main question is how much longer this body can hold up doing
all the setup and tear down. I suspect I'm soon going to need to
enlist assistance, which I tend to avoid because in my experience
people being helpful has almost never been truly helpful. It
generally introduces more work and inconvenience than just doing
the work alone. But body going wonky/haywire does too, and it's to
the point where unhelpful "help" may be the lesser evil.
Bedtime!

The only thing I hear in peoples' embracing debunked hoaxes is
admission of shit for brains.
I'm also tired of proclamations that X is actually Y. Yawn.
Than includes what constitutes hate. It seems having an opinion
other than what a nexus of insecurity believes it ought be is hate.
It's time to ignore these train wrecks of personhood/individuality
angrily proclaiming such.
I mean, personhood is a train wreck eventually going to happen. But
it can be salved, even remedied. But feeding it guarantees eventual
disaster.
One such remedy is called "Christianity". It seems to work for
those who give it a legitimate, honesty try, and don't give up if
not first - or even Nth time - succeeding. Of *course* imperfect
beings are going to fail a system. To believe that imperfection is
the system's fault is that imperfection's best game.
But Christianity is far from the only.
And of *course* people not genuinely seeking remedy alter and
augmented teachings to lessen their effectiveness, then proclaim
said alterations/augmentations to be the teaching.
Those who are sincere in their practice eventually see through
that.
So, whatever. You don't want remedy from the misery of
selfhood/individuality? Oh well. But your attacking the teaching or
others attempting to genuinely practice is only adds to your
misery.
Good luck with that.

Well... my latest search ("who won the us presidential election")
returned results showing that the Washington Post, the New York
Times, the Associated Press, Reuters, and other "news" sources
saying that Donald Trump one the 2024 US presidential election.
Turns out there still are more adults than whiny, belligerent,
self-harming children in the room. The former simply needed to be
patient while letting the latter have their way for a few years, in
which time they hung themselves in public.
Turns out the implied noose can't get any tighter than incessantly
screaming "Hitler!" and/or "Fascist!". They left themselves no
farther to go in their ridiculousness.
Turns out public tantrums don't sway adults.
Not that their ongoing tantrum will end. Those stupid enough to
self-harm don't magically "see the light". They'll shriek and wail
in other ways.
In fact, they'll do everything but the one thing that works, which
is letting go of their mental illness, starting with their mythical
self/person/individuality.
Self-harm begins with believing in a self, then becoming primarily
self-focused, fanning the flames of said illusion until meltdown is
attained.
It's so simple that only a self couldn't see it....

Of *course* the internet is at odds with peace, because searching
always is, and the main thing to do online is search.
Sometimes writing is part of one's search.
For starters, it requires searching for the right words, otherwise
aiodjjl.vaf;i;ou aklksjo09 dass;difjao;
(See what happens when not searching for the right words when
writing?)
Then, sometimes the goal - whether or not one is aware of it - is
to attract others. One is searching (ha!) for others by essentially
setting traps for others, trying out varieties of word bait. Their
attention constitutes tender vittles.
"Why" doesn't matter. Thinking one needs/wants others is sufficient
reason. If there is a more elaborate reason than that, it'll likely
change anyway, because the activity of searching implies not
finding, so one will try out new reasons to see if whatever one has
pre-defined as not happening or being possessed might happen or
become possessed if a better reason is in place, which of course
means nothing more than repeated a reason to oneself, and then
pretending it's a motive for one's free will that one doesn't have
to begin with.
There are no mysteries in the absence of insisting there are
mysteries.
Rest back behind within and it's all solved.
Got it?

Seeking is by definition not finding/having.
If it's there, it can't be here - those notions being infinitely
opposite.
Ignoring the obvious is necessarily misery.
Thinking about it doesn't change it. It only changed the thinking
about it.
And the thinking about it isn't it.
It's so obvious that only seeking it could miss it.

Happiness is the absence of searching for it.
Ditto on peace.
Fulfillment.
And so on.
This screen was perfect until I felt it needed to be different.
It can be said better, but to try to say it is to miss it.
How did we ever come to believe that aboutness could be better than
isness, aka suchness?
It's very simple, and available at all times by not running from
it, aka searching for it.
