Jungian thoughts

i'm reading an intro book on jung and freud, started with jung...
not comparing myself with them, but something i just read stuck out.

something happened to them, and to others in history, around the age of 35-45.
the term they use is "creative illness", which is kinda funny.
dunno about freud, but jung experienced some phenomena, which i seem to be experiencing too.
not psychic exactly, but a broadened awareness maybe?
i feel things around me, hear things sometimes, all the time lately (past year or so?).

for some reason, i'm thinking this all has to do with a fundamental change in a man's chemistry,
around this time in life. it's well documented that the testosterone levels fall, or begin falling.
perhaps there are other issues with seratonin and other chemistry of the brain?
it would explain alot.

just wanted to make a note of it...

on the cusp of a new year

it has been a quick year, once again.
where does all that time go?
and once again, a contract ends, and a new one begins in the new year...

be safe everyone,

Acting Locally, Thinking...

wow!  i'm luvin it!

the people have spoken - don't listen to us, you get kicked to the curb...
king george and what is left of his crony-crew better be taking notes,
or packing their bags, like rummy...

i hope the dems are listening closely as well, we the people are not just trading players,
we are taking names, and if you don't play for us, we are gonna end your career.

power to the people!
for real.

hoy hoyz!

so, i've been piratical too much lately - i know.
internet addiction, my friend... ahhh dikkk shun!

my name's tee, and i'm an internet addict.

that's how it goes, and that's how it will go.
i'm not stopping... i haven't put on 30 pounds, and i still go to work, and i don't think i've lost anything yet, except maybe some short-term memory. but that can be accomplished in so many ways these days that i'm just not too concerned about it.

being a pirate is good clean fun.
and i'm saving money.
but i don't post.
not so much.

which is ok.
i think.
okay?

grok this...

grok

/grok/, var. /grohk/ vt. [from the novel "Stranger in a
Strange Land", by Robert A. Heinlein, where it is a Martian word
meaning literally `to drink' and metaphorically `to be one with']
The emphatic form is `grok in fullness'. 1. To understand, usually
in a global sense. Connotes intimate and exhaustive knowledge.
Contrast zen, which is similar supernal understanding experienced
as a single brief flash. See also glark. 2. Used of programs,
may connote merely sufficient understanding. "Almost all C
compilers grok the `void' type these days."

an enigma? (harmless not quirky)

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

the issue today...

"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite."
- Thomas Jefferson

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
- Theodore Roosevelt

illimitable superior spirit

grok this:

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit
who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive
with our frail and feeble mind.

NSA Spying Ruled Illegal

[snip] "A federal judge in Detroit struck down the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program yesterday, calling it unconstitutional and an illegal abuse of presidential power."[snip]

Huzzah!!! - and the feds scramble... lol!

BigBro better watch out now, the sharks are in the water, and they have a precedent against the president!

Down with King George and his Cronies!!!

the national mood

this is a quote from an article on the christian science monitor site:
"...the national mood is rising against incumbents, as well as against Congress itself."

i don't generally read that site (it was a link from google news),
but i think that hits the nail nicely.

i like the motto:

suspected serial shooter(s) caught in phx...

so, they appear to have caught the <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0808serial-shooter0808.html">serial shooter(s)</a> here in phx. 
some things i noticed, from the news <i>(an interview clip)</i>, the radio, and some articles:
<ul>
<li>he seemed to be enjoying the attention</li>
<li>they say he's cocky and unapologetic</li>
<li>he made a statement blaming his 'roomate'</li>
<li>on the interview clip, he said "i'd like to see them prove it"</li>
<li>an ex of his <i>(wife or gf, not sure)</i> said he bragged he could get away with killing her</li>
</ul>
so, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profiling">profiling</a> probly puts him in the money, no?

none of that makes him guilty, nor his large amount of guns, including the same type of shotgun used in the shootings.
there was a series of shootings of dogs and horses that were linked to the beginning of this spree.
wonder if this guy had any pets disappear when he was younger?

just thoughts.

word of the day

quip: a short, witty ( often sarcastic ) remark or saying...
( similar to an epigram )

;)

By all means, do not use a hammer.

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.
