concussion & trust falls

the dampness of life was before me

dripping over the edges

of the poorly laid gutters encasing the porch

 

i sighed

in rhythm with the drops

falling around me.

 

tomorrow will be icy

i mustn’t walk too fast…

 

to reach Eden requires spills,

falls, embarassment –

if luck walks beside me…

 

i will make it.

Tribute post to da GBFM

da GBFM is a legendary blogger/internet personality in the red pill movement. Sometime in the last few years, WordPress took his website offline for “violating terms of service” – he has always been opinionated but in a way I respect and I value and miss his voice. Today I used the Wayback Machine ( https://archive.org/web/ ) to access his old site so I could read some content (btw: the old site url was http://greatbooksformen.wordpress.com )

 

Here is a repost in full of a song da GBFM wrote, which was cleverly attributed to being authored by Ben Bernanke. Enough said – here’s the original post:

WE CAN’T STOP
by ben ebernake zlzozlzzo
It’s our House (& Senate) we can do what we want
It’s our Fed we can print what we want
It’s our dollar we can bankrupt who we want
We can bailout who we want
We can butthext who we want (2x)

Red commies and sweaty neoconz everywhere
Hands in the air like we don’t care
Cause we came to make so much debt now
And the betas here must pay it all now.

If you’re not ready to go home
Can I get a hell no
Cause we gonna pump all night
Till we see hyperinflation alright

So la da di da di, we like fiat currency
Dancing with Bernanke
Doing whatever we want
This is our Fed
This is our rules
And we can’t stop
And we won’t stop printing
Can’t you see it’s we who own the right
Can’t you see it we who bout’ thug life
And we can’t stop
And we won’t stop
We run things, Things don’t run we
We take everything from everybody

It’s our Fed we can bernankify who we want
It’s our dollar we can print we want
It’s our party we can bomb who we want
We can butthext who we want
We can bankrupt who we want

To my Keynsians here with the big butts
Shaking it like we at a strip club
Remember only Greenspan can judge ya
Forget the haters cause Bernanke loves ya
And everyone in line in the bathroom
Trying to get a line in the bathroom
Inflation so turned up here
Getting turned up, yeah, yeah

So la da di da di, we inflate with glee
Pumping with Bernanke
Doing whatever we want
This is our Fed
This is our rules
And we can’t stop
And we won’t stop
Can’t you see it’s we who own the right
Can’t you see it we who bout’ thug life
And we can’t stop
And we won’t stop
We run things
Betas don’t run we
We take everything from everybody

It’s our Fed we can pump what we want
It’s our dollar we can inflate all we want
It’s our congress we can buy who we want
We can butthext who we want
We can bailout who we want

It’s our Fed we can do what we want to
It’s our House (& Senate) we can butthext who we want to
It’s our country we can quantitiative ease if we want to
It’s your mouth you shall suck when we want you to
Yea, Yea, Yeah

And we can’t stop printing
And we won’t stop inflating
Can’t you see it’s we who own the right
Can’t you see it we who bout’ thug life
And we can’t stop
And we won’t stop
We run things
Betas don’t run we
We take everything from everynody
Yea, Yea, Yea

the shadows of the scent of the light

i remember the scent of cherry blossoms
wafting from the candles
you so delicately placed on the mantle
throwing shadows into the darkest corners
of my heart
behind flickering wisdom from the jester
who is me
where i once was myself
change
    transpose
illuminate
    growth
the path of life weaves and breathes
and shifts beneath our feet
our tracks are proof that we changed the world
as the candle burns it’s last breathes
and the closeness in the moment begins fleeting
do you remember the cherry blossoms too?
tomorrow smells so different
and yet, through changing, i am the same
as my core was
and has been
since before i was born
and after i am gone
a flickering flame
casting my own shadows
returning to the essence
existence. peace. harmony.
your eyes say, as you gaze at me,
this is your world too
surrender

Disc Golf Horse Shoes = Amazing!

So the other day at the place I’ve been staying we had a house party and during the prep we realized we had no lawn games!

Being the stubborn/resourceful person I can be, I decided to invent a game and after examining what we had laying around, and my overwhelming desire to play horseshoes, a new game was born: disc golf horseshoes!

It’s easy to play, easy to set up and take down, and super cheap… and I forgot to mention that it is totally fun!

What you need:
– five gallon buckets (2)
– disc golf discs (minimum 2, preferably 4)

How to set it up:
1. place the two buckets about 20 feet apart (you can change this based on your group’s skill level :-P )
2. fill the buckets 1/3 with water (weighs it down, prevents bouncing out if filled with rocks)

The rules of Disc Golf Horseshoes (DGH) are almost identical to regular horseshoes, with the exception being that in normal horseshoes only the highest scoring team keeps the points but in DGH any throws that score points count.

Ways to score:
Ringer – Get your disc in the bucket – 3 points
Leaner – Lean your disc against the bucket – 2 points
Close Enough – get your disc within 1 disc length from the edge of the bucket – 1 point

Games should be played to 21 or 11 for faster games

Try it out, have a blast and let me know what you think. Please share this with your friends and let’s take the tailgating/bbq lawn games by storm!

quid pro no

it’s not like
you weren’t there
behind the scenes
loving me
all along
without expectations.
a wholesome image
is blank in your mind
where together
we
experience filling your space
with time
between the drip drops
of our leaky faucet
which i still have not fixed.

i see the dreams
you have surrendered
to my essence
but why
can’t i
do that for you?
a simple note
left on a countertop
and your shoes
are
missing from our closet
where there’s
more space on the floor
then i ever knew we had
until you weren’t there…

i am risen

you know how sometimes you just want to sit & stare
listening to rhymes without a thought or care
but it’s not like escape is really what it’s made
out to be, reach out and free – your soul
while you still got slivers of control
watching the energy get poured down this hole
and hardships are largest when you can’t let go
and if you didn’t know, you might as well no-show
cuz you’re trapped in the pack and you starting to attack
the views of the few who still have your back
alone and home grown, seeking out pay phones
throwing dogs bones, you think you’re the zone
but you’re wrong
so you sit and smoke that bong
wondering when the radio will play your song
hopelessly helpless, and relaxed with your past
trying to move fast but you lack the drive
to keep it alive
when it all dies we open up to look inside
and thats when we see the fucking phoenix rise
