Hajime…. Having learned some years ago how difficult it can be to be creative on a consistent basis, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to me when I find myself completely without any connection to the well from which it springs on any particular morning. But, it does, every time, generating the same feelings of panic and dismay, at the thought of having to, once again, cudgel my brain into producing something worth putting down on screen/paper, a process which is by no means consistent, or, comfortable. Apparently, though, the process IS one that works, if only in my dreams of adequacy.
With that being said, I will add, I’m not complaining. I am up early enough to have time to find the proper cudgeling tool, and, in retrospect, did so with some dispatch, if not elegance. You see, it’s done. Well, it’s as done as it’s going to get, anyway. I managed to persuade SB to cough up enough pearls to compose an old-school pearl, found an appropriate poem to accompany the fine poetry pearl I found, and picked out some rather good music, so, the elements are all in place. The only thing lacking is any sort of confidence in what I’ve done. But, confidence isn’t important; chutzpah is, and we’ve got plenty of that on hand.
Since my creative capabilities are somewhat limited today, obviously, I’ll forgo further blather, in favor of moving this along. Or, as we are fond of saying, let’s get this slow on the toad. No fooling around, either; we’re done, and, gone….
Shall we Pearl?….

Rejection
“Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so…”
I’d be crying a river, I thought
if ever such crap I bought.
Sorry if it hurts your sense of style,
but, hypocrisy always gives me bile.
Being lied to accidentally is okay,
but, deliberate lies make me angry, and fey.
Oh, God, hear what I pray!
Keep me from your followers today.
Having to listen to so much that is wrong
makes me puke, before it makes me strong.
I don’t know why it isn’t clear to other folks,
which is alright, you know, different strokes.
But, why should that mean that they must
force me to believe, or fail in trust?
Spare me the lies, and the make-believe,
fairy tales are easier to hear, and to weave.
They give us a lesson which we can feel
but don’t pretend at all to be real.
Reality can scare us, that’s a given fact,
still, met with care it will leave us mostly intact.
Met without fear, standing tall and alone
Life will allow us to make it our own.
Folly beckons, and so many follow
mass delusions seem to me most hollow.
I’ll have to stick to my own chosen way
while so many go so sadly astray.
It’s lonely at times, it may seem sad,
but really isn’t, and I’m quite glad,
that knowledge is always stronger than fear,
year after year, tear after tear…..

Such as it is, there it is. Done. Not only done, but, I’d say, finished, as well. But, then, what do I know? All I know at this point is, the sun is rising, and today’s Pearl is complete. I’ll take it. Not only will I take it, I’ll take it, and run. See y’all tomorrow, ffolkes; I don’t seem to have any choice in the matter….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;

Speaking
of titles..
one song..
two versions..
first one hitting number
one on the Adult Contemporary
Charts in December of 2007
the Christmas
before i
went to
hell
and the
other second
one hitting number
13 on the Adult Contemporary
Charts in December of 2012
the Christmas
before
i got
out of hell..
i never knew that
until a few moments ago..
never the less there is a little
personal magic in this new story
as the magic of synchronicity can
be anything we make it two thousand
years ago or even the same dam thing..
anyway.. bottom line.. Frosty is one snow man
that continues to evolve in the music world and sell..
as all myths do in someways even from 2000 years ago or so..:)

So what is evil..
empty promises
or FucKinG crazy actions
with no promises at all.. hmm..
humans tend to seek order when
scared..
no
surprises
please.. and
the Rovers say..
let’s shake this shit up..
and do something new..
and that sometimes
works in a land
of billionaires
but
as far
as international
diplomacy with
trigger fingers.. crazy F iN
is as crazy FucKinG does..;)

So.. A new
age Jesus
yes.. last year..
is walking from the
parking lot into a bar
to do a Jesus dance with
scores of lovely women who
are also
free..
and he
comes across a
group of bible thumpers
who tale him.. if you do not
recite John 3:16 and confess
that Jesus is the only begotten
son of God who died for your sins..
you are going to an eternal house of
flames
for yes..
really all of
eternity forevemorernow…
little did the bible thumpers
know that Jesus had already gone
to this place for 66 months.. yes.. been
there done it already as Jesus already knew
that he was no more special than the devil
as God condemned
him to that place for
not having Fucking
common sense
enough
to just
say no
and quit
A FucKinG
manmade job
under the illusions
that if he didn’t make money
Jesus’ life would come to A FucKinG
end without the real green black dollar dEvil of today..
anyway.. that was so yesterday.. Jesus had already over
came that.. 66 months of hell and since then he had come
close to taking back all the lies and writing his own FucKinG
Bible soon to approach 3.3 million words in short form and 12
million words in long form all on record of course in a place where
books
are
never
changed
and written
by the original
person.. if the hackers
can’t get in.. hehe.. as
who would read anything longer
than a twitter verse anyway.. haha..
hehe.. makes coming as a thief
in the Bar ParKing lot
on 120th Church street
a FucKinG
Breeze
wRite
in the
open
for everyone
to see hahEhuh.. even
FucKinG naked celebrating
God in King David more vile ways..
including Dancing for close to 6,000 miles
by that date every where in public somewhere
far far away from a place with zero mass communication
to get
an original
ministry of
praise dance
out ON smart phones
that did not exist back
in that desert patch way way
back then.. in fAct.. perhaps..
a new age way is prepared
and this whole
dam Jesus
story
was fabricated
by literally thousands
of folks along the way of
oral tradition in Aramaic amongst
thousands of desert wanderers in
round table way.. smart ass nerd
Greeks choosing bits and parts
of that to write down
and thousands
upon
thousands
of copying
scribes making
written copy mistakes
and changing it to a new
revised version in totally open
source Wiki method then to whatever
fit the flavor of the intuitive or political
breeze of the now back then.. ending up with
both a Good Cop and Bad Cop Jesus to better
reflect then pitfalls of being human along with the
liGht of pro-social emotions that go along with expanding
empires in onward Christian killing indigenous people’s way..
keeping in mind
that the whole
time Jesus
was in
a bar
parking
lot describing
this whole scenario
to a group of bible thumpers..
singing onward Christian soldiers..
in tHeir Merry Way close to Christmas
of last year.. never realizing that Frosty was
in their midst.. and to make an even longer story
shorter..
before
they left
the scene of
new age oral tradition..
they told Jesus that he was
the devil and everyone who read
his new age bible would go to hell..
and Jesus just smiled so big and so bright
that the lead Bible thumper starting yelling a primal
scream to the top of his lungs saying get the Fuck
away from
me.. i
cannot
take IT any
more.. the most
amusing part of this
story is it really happened..
hehe.. and no.. i am not Jesus..
i am
the
real
FucKinG
Frosty the Snowman..
juSt call me.. FReEDman hEha..;)
AnyWay.. as you likely
can imagine.. i am A
Bible ignorant
Thumper’s
worst
nightmare..
as i cannot tale a lie..
only a BEgotten HAiry
tale that has come true..
Moral of the entire
story.. all my life
people
have
underestimated
what i CAN AND WILL DO
AT ALL
COSTS
AND
BENEFITS TOO..
even if i am ‘the only
one’ who returns to a field of dreams..
AND
This story is way too complicated
for the big screen or books..
it takes
A gigoid
to come
close to
understanding
even close to ALL OF what
i am DOinG uPon this Beautiful eArTh..
what’s
stilLL
left of
thaT IS.. here..
anyWay.. noW..:)
AnyWay aGAin… thanks
gigoid.. a very inspiring poem
written by you.. 8 days after i started
this ‘little’
bLog
aDventure..;)
Now back to
the rest of the
pearls as quotes..
as extra long side note ends..;)

“I make my own reality…..”

XLNT! Your side note reminds me of the scene in the movie “Dogma”, when the angel, whose name I forget just now, talks religion with a nun, ending up leaving her weeping to herself, over the loss of her faith… Funny as all get out, in an ironic sense…
These days, I’m trying to stay focused on that very last line; my reality is all I can deal with right now, so, that’s where I’m staying… but, I’m having fun there, so, it’s all good…
Glad you enjoyed the poem…. Today’s is my best, if a bit dark….
See ya, FReEDman…. *grin*
