  1. Ever See The Movie Contact?

    in Cultural Arts Archive

    Posted

    What would I say to an ET if they came by? "Got a sister?" :ph34r:

    At one point in the movie a bad guy suggests that the alien message received were blueprints for building a machine which would blow up and destroy whoever was naive enough to build one. What if that were true? What if the received alien message was a cosmic crank call by some adolescent alien? So be careful. You never know what kids will do nowadays.

    - I

    Got a copy of those plans? I've been itching to build me a new project.... :kimmy:

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME by Vernon Howard.

    1. You are as stubborn as a mule, but I am loyal to my noble beliefs.

    2. You are a blabbermouth, but I am endlessly generous in contributing my wisdom to others.

    3. You are pushy, but I take constructive initiative.

    4. You are a shameless glutton, but I am a daring explorer in the world of food and drink.

    5. You have cunning greed, but I have admirable ambition.

    6. You express childish anger, but I firmly denounce all forms of injustice.

    7. You are rude, but I am not afraid to say what I think.

    8. You indulge in petty gossip, but I discuss other people in order to sympathize and help them.

    9. You are lazy, but I possess relaxed patience.

    10. You think the world owes you a living, but I wish only my rightful rewards so richly deserved.

    11. You have an evil lust for power, but I have a natural talent for social leadership.

    12. You nervously run from one foolishness to another, but I happily pursue many meaningful activities.

  7. "reality Is Merely An Illusion

    ~ True, we are confined by 5 simple senses. We may strive to create sensors to understand what we can't physically know, but they are basically ways to enhance what we already have.

    To actually know reality beyond what we are capable of comprehending...

    Well, maybe before birth &/or after death, don't know.

    "The essential purport of the world-famous monologue in Hamlet is, in condensed form, that our state is so wretched that complete non-existence would be decidedly preferable to it. Now if suicide actually offered us this, so that the alternative "to be or not to be" lay before us in the full sense of the words, it could be chosen unconditionally as a highly desirable termination ("a consummation devoutly to be wish'd" [Act III, Sc.I.]). There is something in us, however, which tells us that this is not so, that this is not the end of things, that death is not an absolute annihilation." -- German philosopher Schopenhauer

  10. One Of Them

    in Creative Expression & Cultural Arts

    Posted

    Here is something I have been working on. Please let me know what you think.

    One Of Them

    The towns Folk start to panic. They sense the sounds of our arrival.

    They see our bright colors, and hear our music and laughter off in the distance.

    Bring in your foolish old Ladies, hide the children. Nail down anything that moves!

    Hmmm.

    *I* like bright colors.

    *I* like your style of music. Generally.

    *I* enjoy laughter. Generally.

    They call us the "Autum People", Gypsies", "Freaks"' and many other names.

    We are known as the "Traveling People". We come and go with the wind and shadows.

    Here one minute, gone the next, without a trace.

    If you had any idea what they call me.... Generally. lol!

    *I* am also a "gypsy" as I move frequently. "here one minute, gone the next".

    Why do they fear us so? What about our eyes that dance with merryment,

    our songs that are sad or sing of life scares them so?

    Is it that we come and go as we please?

    Who cares?

    As I walk Downtown, I hear a Woman say to her friend, behind a hand.

    "Don't look at her, She's one of them."

    "I hear they steal and eat babies, dance naked in the moonlight, and sleep with the Devil."

    *GASP!!!!!*

    I think babies are cute. I dance naked in the moonlight. Sleep with the devil? Nah, not married any longer, so not sleeping with the devil's sister any longer. (giggle)

    I hold my head up high, and walk without fear. I know why the caged bird sings.

    They live in darkness and never see the light. Life has left them.

    They have forgotten the sun. The dance no longer sings to them.

    You're welcome in MY town. Common sense has since fled, so screw the comon folk. You're cool in my book.

    I feel the rythem of the dance, I know the sound of life.

    To live, to love, to feel passion in all things.

    I am free. I am "One Of Them."

    This is dedicated to all of the Rennies and Faire Folk out there. And to all "of Them."

    May the light never leave your eyes. May the music always play for you. May you live, love and laugh with passion!

    Bright Blessings,

    Flower

    Don't worry, be happy! And come on down to Leadville anytime!

  16. Seeking Assistance Or Advice....

    Posted · Edited by Preacher Bob

    I had problems at a place I rented once, and I was very spiritual then. Had these evil spirits giving me a lot of trouble, so I had a cross in the backyard and lit it on fire. I ordered the spirits out in the name of Jesus. Interesting both my neighbors moved in a week. Unsure of the coincidence, but so did the evil spirits.

  17. Native Americans

    The prejudice IS there, but it's not solely white man at fault.

    White man has his faults I agree. But the NA shouldn't be going around full of anger and hatred and bitterness blaming whiteman for everything. I lived near several indian reservations, and I have seen all this anger and hatred they have for us, saying we're ripping them off, when lots of times they allow themselves to be ripped off.

    At the Navajo indian reservation in SE Utah, a number of Navajo claimed to be ripped off by the oil companies that drilled there. Only a few bucks is all they get. BUT, as found out when investiagted, they aren't mentioning that they also said they didn't want money as much as "other stuff". Other stuff like getting a home built to the design they want, where they want, water wells drilled, and if no water is available, water gets trucked in at company expense. Electric is brought in, at compay expense. Everything they want is paid for, including nice cars or trucks and even paying for their kidsand grandkids college. Yeah, they get a lot of scholarships for being NA, but if you saw the mountain of paper work, you'd understand. So then the companies throw their hands in the air saying "What more could they want? We gave them everything they wanted!", which is true. In some cases they got a lot more than a white family would have gotten.

    I have mentioned this before, here and elsewhere, about a man and his father. Both Navajos, and they live like their ancestors. So many times I have heard the NA scream about how it's all white man's fault they can't like like their ancestors. Funny, because as Certificate of Indian Blood card holders, they can. Not only on the reservation, but in BLM & USFS land. That man and his father, they do that. They have a few horses, and in a few places they have Hogans set up for living in. They live just like their ancestors do. Nothing stops the complaining NA from doing it, except it's far easier to go hit up Burger King for a meal than kill a deer and prep it. Being lazy has it's draw backs.

    I have gotten fed up with being inslted by indians because I'm white.

    I remember when the jews were complaining about Mel Gibson's flic on Jesus. I figure if they don't like it, they don't have to watch it. No one's holding a gun to their head.

    The film you refer to is called "The Passion". As a jew, I remember receiving the letter telling me I was supposed to complain about it.

    For a fairly even handed description of the turmoil surrounding the release of this film, you could go here'

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/980753/posts.

    Or not. After all, no one is holding a gun to your head.

    I didn't look at the link you provided, maybe later though. I recall a bunch of jews had problems with The Passion and one of the excuses is because it was supposedly building hate against jews (or something like that). To me it was nonsense. I saw jews watching The Passion, I watched The Passion. A lot of people did. It didnb't build or create any hate. It was a good movie. I don't see how anyone can build or create hate if it isn't already there.

  22. Why I Became Ordained By The Ulc

    Well I can say this. I became ordained through ULC because:

    10. The best reason why I became an ordained minister. Why my name is The Evil Wicked Cardinal of Evil. The Clergy Shirt gets me a new girlfriend in my bed every week. God Bless Us Ministers.

    And I can say this...with that statement any shred of respect that I was beginning to have for you just went out the door.

    But I'm sure that doesn't matter.....

    That's ok, Brother Taylor. He still has to account to Jesus for this. We must forgive, God has the right to choose.

    And I concur with you- he earned my respect alrighty- and then it went right down the crapper. <flush>

    Havn't seen the new one but from I have seen of how they remake the old flicks, I won't even bother. Man, no one can out do the old Samantha and the twitchin' of her nose! Oh, and that old hag she called her mother. And the nutcase Roger....lol!

    They destroyed Battlestar Galactica. They murdered Spiderman. They trashed Wild Wild West (hey now! Artemus Gordon has class in the old flick, thank you very much!). So much destroyed....sad.
