I Would Hang Out With Each Of These People...

This has got be one of my favorite photographs of all time. It offers up so much, from the half-tones, b&w treatments, texture, composition, detail, color theory, and contrast, that I could spend days just meditating on it, absorbing it all.

Fanart and fanfic are still in the works… Just terribly stressed and busy.

From my urban adventure the other day… A fun view that always gives me mild vertigo.

Make no mistake, citizens. There is a vast scheme at work in this country to topple our Constitution and inflate the central government to a level where we all become subjugated to the whims of elitists and corrupt heads of State. It is rampant, this campaign against the people, and it is functioning on a global scale, with players from all corners working in congress (pun fully fucking intended there...) to pull apart freedoms and liberties given those of us in the United States. The US has dirt on its hands to be sure, but those things that have sullied the intentions and hopes for an independent nation, as prescribed and drafted by our founders, have come from agents provocateur, agents who have been deployed by those threatened by what our forefathers and foremothers wanted for posterity. The end game, as I see and interpret it, is to destabilize every aspect of normal life-- be it economic, religious, moralistic, educational, or basic human rights-- to the point that the populace will drop to its knees and defer to despots, groveling, supplicating, and bowing down to self-appointed gods. If we, the People, allow that to happen or-- God forbid-- passively fall into line, then we have really just given ourselves over to enslavement. From there, all hope is dashed upon jagged rocks upon one placid shores.

What disturbs me most is that these conspirators have alighted upon what some would label fringe society: the loners, those displaced from any kind of community, those whose perceived abnormalities invoke ostracism and soft exile, those who think they are ignored and disavowed: to sell those people false promises, false hope, and false security, so as to lather the presumed disenfranchised to become unwitting for soldiers, pawn infantry members whose sole purpose is to portray the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has been denied them by those who fight against the bigger threat. That bigger threat being persins of reason, persons of faith and foresight, persons who are alert to and aware of the raiding wolves (disguised as saviors, salvationists who are really slavering mongers of power, control, wealth and tyranny. These elements use and usurp power and influence wherever they can, and subordinates, like most of what is labeled the "free press", form the chorus for the opera of the tyrants.

Examples:

1. Gay Pride used to bear meaning, genuine meaning. [Author's Note: Personally, I think Gay Unity would have been a better choice as slogan, as the 'Pride' part always struck me as simehow LESS, as if one's sexuality was the epicenter of their existence, rather than the intellect, the love, the heart, the fierceness and passion for being human, the art, the individualist, the uniqueness, and the humanity of each person. Human beings are quite possibly the most complex, diverse, confusing and frustrating of all species that have ever occupied Mother Earth, but that is what makes our world so fascinating and energizing. (Hey, it's probably the biggest reason why so many UFOs and their occupants have reportedly visited us; I mean, damn! Earth is the best zoo in this part of the Universe. It's better than Australia or the Galápagos Islands in terms of WTF.)

But now Gay Pride has become a commercial and political tool designed and deployed by large corporations (ummm, they're the evil capitalists that have been decried as enemies of humanity... or am I missing something here?...🤔) to drain money from the very members of the LGBT+ crowd that sells validation and recognition. Sorry folks, but buying shoes, food, services or anything, really, from a company that prints

2. Capitalism

There comes a point in life when you just have to accept that shit is pervasive and persistent... I'm there now...

Idaho grizzly bear still loose after nighttime raids on livestock

Idaho Fish and Game is hoping to trap and possibly relocate a grizzly bear that has killed livestock at the same Naples-area ranch on two ni

Llamas, the preferred meat choice of hungry b'ars... although it should be noted that Hungry Man did take a sheep dish to go...

I think that the ranchers in the future, in an effort to manage food cost and inventory control, just put in drive-thrus for their ursine customers...

I love this woman's work. She deftly captured the fiery, beautiful essence of the Highland sprawl of my family's ancestral roots, the Isle of Skye, in glorious Scotland.

My entire existence, for the past 20+ years or so, has been built upon this same premise...

This whole blog is just a conversation I am having with myself

This HAS to be in California.

There couldn't possibly be any way a virus could be transmitted through an act of spreading one's legs, could there? Perish the thought...

I have a discussion place in the Loathing lobe of my brain for people who come up with garbage like this...

Is it just me, or is this simulation that I share with everybody (or, perhaps nobody) really just zooming out of fucking bounds? I mean, c'mon, baby, how can a tree be a snake, or a snake a tree?

Please tell me you see the same fucking fucked up image. Don't indulge me if you don't see it ['cuz we'll still be cordial and upright], but if you do, please fucking sound off!
