Doing Well…Nice to Say

Comment | by

Exercise has been near nill since the Kidney Stones. Two weeks ago I started doing Wii Fit yoga twice a week. This week I brought my Yoga dvd with me so I could do something. Besides swimming, hiking and walking…I manged three sessions of yoga at 1/4 modified. I feel pretty good.

I’m eating well even on vacation, but I’ve decided to tweak my diet a bit more. More fruit, and instead of processed protein, I’m going to include some pre-cooked chicken instead. The kidney stones played complete havoc on my diet. I went downhill a lot. But it was much easier to get back on track since. Even on this vacation I’ve been fairly good. Lavender Creme Brulee not withstanding.

So that’s were I’m at. Feeling good. I’ll check my weight went I get back. I expect gain…but we’ll see.

Otherwise I’m working on learning astrology. I’ve been consolidating my book of shadows from the random sprawl I’ve long kept to organized books. I’m almost done…that pretty exciting to have all my work at my fingertips. Now if I can just get that wallpaper down.

So that’s me right now…feeling good, doing better. All is good.

Remembering

Comment | by

So it’s veterans day and the day we remember those that fell.

I think it is also a time to remember to be vigilante.

A Christian group is using Fox News to go after Asatru. It’s disturbing the amount of misinformation. The two woman were honest and thoughtful…but the Nazi angle is untrue.

Apparently creationists are trying to get around laws against teaching religion in schools by using cdesign proponentsists instead of Creationist. They got caught.

The house passed the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, lets hope the Senate comes to their senses and doesn’t let it pass. It’s scary. Take this passage for example:

`(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization’ means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change.

Who decides that? The bill puts together a committee to analyze these things then decide what to do about. It could make anyone who disagrees with the government a criminal. All the reps from Colorado voted for it. Write to them and write to the senators.

And finally in news of the stupid: Taking photographs in the US is getting iffy:

War on Photography

Digital Cameras caught on because parents didn’t want to be thrown in jail for taking photos of their kids. You laugh? It was a real concern in the late 90′s. Folks barely could use a computer buy them.

Sigh.

Permission to Reincarnate Sir! or Insanity seems to follow me around in large quantities.

はじめまして！

I got my car back! Yeah! It’s all shiney again…and will be more so once I get the windshield replaced. D’oh! The insurance companies are still trying to sort through the mess. I don’t know when I’ll hear anything.

Last night a man came to our door and told me to do something about our dogs..that they bark at all hours. I told him he was mistaken…it’s not our dogs…they are not left out when we are not home or when we are sleeping. He then threatened me by saying that if we didn’t do something he would and that he does this all the time. I told him that he can’t threaten us. This happened on 8-7-2007. Considering every house on that side as at least 1 dog but most have more and the family with 4 dogs leaves them out all night and they all bark…I think he’s picking on us because we are the only house that has a fence you can see though. Yes the dog was barking when he showed up…Dagny is trained to bark when a stranger comes to the door. Whinnie just gives in to peer pressure.

China now requires that a person ask permission to reincarnate. The is mainly directed at the Dali Lama…but damn…since when did they go back to Emperor as God? That’s so 1910.

As far as Senators and Reps go for Colorado…I want them all fired except for Udall and DeGette. They at least had the balls to vote against FISA. We need to to get Allard and Salazar out of the Senate. The fools.

Speaking of fools there is this wonderful take of a white man so afraid of black men that he offered the first random one he found $20 and a blow job to leave him alone. Too bad the black man was an undercover cop and the white man was Florida state Legislator Bob Allen. I think we can all agree that Bob Allen is officially insane.

Wiccan Doesn’t Equal Pagan All The Time

Comment | by

I don’t think of the word Pagan as something that has been imposed on me. It’s what I am.

So when the occasional dialog of whether or not Wicca is the end all of Paganism comes up and you get a few who don’t understand, a few who want to argue that paganism is an umbrella term and a few who play the party line of labels are from the man and we must all get along robohippies.

I find that I believe that paganism is. You know when you are, you know when you are not. You can’t define it for some one like you can Wicca. Wicca is a pagan path…yes. But a lot of us aren’t Wiccan. We are just pagans. It goes for other definable paths.

Paganism Is.

Of Borders and Weddles and Witches and Brews…

The woman who hit my new car is claiming that I left the scene of the accident. Her insurance company is taking her side. Sigh. Why do people have to be evil? Even though the police and the fire department came to the scene. This really blows.

I headed out to 46th and Sheridan last night to check out Witches Brew. Let me say they have kick ass meeting space and parking! Their drink selection is small right now as are their pagan goodies. I’m sure it will grow. As long as that annoying kid isn’t a feature…I almost smacked him.

I’ve been working on character sketches for an old comic idea M. and I had. Ideas are unfolding in my head as I speak. It’ll work. Don’t freak M. I’m bringing it up tonight.

Aia has been asking for Junie B. Jones books. I just got the refund from the screwy not-so-wine-rackish wine rack I ordered so I’m getting her the first 4 books. That should be a good welcome home present.

I’ve been reading through Without Honor. I’ve done some more cutting and reorganizing…I even wrote some words in that evil chapter. Woot!

Demons are Everywhere!

Comment | by

I was looking up some Paisley patterns because…I love Paisley. I really do.

Let me just introduce you to Demon Buster!. This person sees demons everywhere…and Paisley is linked to all these things that cause? demons:

CATHOLICS
THE COUNTRY OF INDIA (WITH ALL THEIR GODS)
GOAT HAIR (GOAT IS THE SYMBOL FOR THE DEVIL)
MUSLIMS
PRAYER RUGS
JESUITS
CULTS
SEERS
MAGICIANS
OCCULT

Personally I think the best part is the link at the bottom of each page which leads to and advertisement for makeup sales from your own home!

To be fair, this person doesn’t like anything that charges money as “Deliverance should be free” which is an admirable truth…however this is a little extreme in regards to everyday objects and those of other faiths.

Things like Candles are demon hosts but batteries are okay. Don’t forget that incense causes stomach virus. Destroy birth stones (that might be fun to watch). Dungeons and Dragons is a demon to be cast out but then so are Rockerfellers, and Rothchilds. It goes on.

Diabetes is really a horde of squid demons. All diseases especially gall bladder disease are caused by demons.

For a site that likens demon deliverance to washing the dishes really good…it’s hard to take it seriously. Okay, I’m being kind, you can’t make this shit up.

I can’t image the children of these folks are happy…dolls and stuff animals are out. Their reason?

Exodus 20:4 You shall not make yourself any graven image
OR
ANY likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Well, at least I know my Cuthulu plushie is okay to have.

Gotta watch those puppets though. My dog is up on that…Whinnie the pug is afraid of puppets.

If you have trouble viewing the site or printing out any of the content…it must be demons in you electronics. They have instructions on how to get rid of Boyce and Boice.

But don’t do exorcisms…they are cause demon infestations….I can’t even laugh…the pages are pink. Remember it’s against the bible to eat badger. You have to guard against invisible sex attacks and anything some did in the apartment before you got there. Lucifer and fireflies are okay. They make happy light.

Don’t worry, I’m going to hell. It’s that mocking thing.

Child not potty trained? You need to deliver him. Like music? You need to be delivered. Tattoos, having your picture taken, ear piercing, Rebecca Brown! Deliverance!

And how do you cast out demons? You use a box.

Are you laughing? Cause that’s a demon too.

-Dear Lord, Deliver Me From Your Idiots-

A few things…in which I stop talking about myself…

Comment | by

I’m sure people are tired hearing about my stress. Still I saw the new floor last night in J.’s house…it’s very pretty.

We’ve just about filled the storage area. The house looks more empty…my garage more full.

Creation museum…

There’s a brand new science fiction museum run by idiots who think is all true. If you do decide to visit be sure to ignore the religious nut-jobs who are telling you this really happened…cause it’s all stupid but makes for a nice tribute to those early movies about curvaceous cave girl models a la Raquel Welch. You might need to read a book on Darwin to cleanse your mind after going.

Cheney’s own office
In case you thought you never had anything to fear from Cheney, you poor, poor fools…just remember he’s his own branch of office now. Silly Americans…of course we have four branches of government…the Judicial, the Executive, and the Legislative. New in 2007 we bring you the Cheney-really-runs-the-white-house puppet master branch.

Okay I’ll be nice…he says he’s not under executive orders because he’s part of the legislative branch as President of the Senate. I wonder what he’ll be when the Demo’s start to tell him they own his ass. We should make constitution, bill of rights and the declaration mandatory memorization for public office. If you can’t memorize it you can’t run.

Considering we’ve been joking for years that Cheney hides in the bushes to tell Bush what to say…this isn’t funny:

Hindu prayer in U.S. Senate draws religious protesters

What assholes….they should be made to publicly apologize. That was rude and stupid. Just…stupid.

But in case you thought that Pagans were safe:

Think about Rita Moran. This insane Christian Group is trying to destroy her based on the fact she’s a pagan.

Where do these people get off? Denver is a mostly tolerant place. Oh we have intolerance but not on the scale of some of these other places. Focus on the Family is in Colorado Springs and right now they are too busy the rest of the nation to worry about Colorado…besides they have their own silly problems.

This world is too fucked up.

It’s not that I don’t want to…

Sigh.

If you’ve noticed…I’ve absorbed my articles and recipes into this blog. I’ve got some formating left to got…then some painting and the new site will be all.

Of course all creative efforts are at a standstill until after I move. No painting, no writing (except module writing) no sewing, no meditation, no real exercise, no tarot readings…

Suck.

The overwhelmed feeling is not going away. We still don’t have J.’s house cleaned as much as I would like. We are going to have to clean out from under his bead and vacuum. The down stairs is going to require that we stack stuff around the bar…

And my house is barely packed. I’ve managed to bring over my nightstands, one of Aia’s chairs and her tv stuff. All my linen is at J.’s now.

And yet…

I’m struggling with where to put stuff. The living room is easy…the hall, easy…the bedroom is not so much. I have a need to put my pagan stuff up but where…

sigh. This shouldn’t be so hard, but I’m moving fast because I have help now…I won’t have help later. Not that my friends wouldn’t help but their schedules were long set before I decided to move and I can’t expect them to rearrange for me. You’ve all offered when you can, I’m eternally grateful for that, but don’t worry if you can’t. I just expect you all to show to the Halloween party. ;)

I’m worried about J. His back has gotten worse over the last two years. Recently he hurt it worse and it is not getting better. I don’t resent that he can’t and shouldn’t help with the heavy stuff. I just wish I could help him.

I’m sure you’re all getting tired of the whining. If there is one thing about me you should know is that I have to talk everything out. Every detail otherwise I: a)forget, b)can’t sleep at night. So if it is continuously coming out of my mouth…I don’t do it to annoy people or to garner sympathy but because I have to get it out of me.

It’s like psychic puking only not so much.
