Poem: Grounded

If anyone knew how many times I've been knocked down

They'd be amazed to see me not splattered on the ground 

My heart has been hamburger served for lunch. 

But my spirit stands strong and it keeps walking on. 

All I know of my destiny is one day the earth will swallow me.  I'm only here if I breathe and it's not because I believe!

My bones have all broke from the weight of the sea.

The waves rain down, on top of me they pound. 

Your judgement is lost when found, sticks to the ground. 

Find me in the trees because this is where I am free to be. 

Let there always be never ending Light!

Trump uses basic psychology tactics to spread propaganda

ON ADOLF HITLER:
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."*

ALL TRUMP DOES IS REPEAT HIS LIES A MIN OF THREE TIMES AND THEN DEFLECT THE BLAME ONTO HILARY OR OBAMA. THIS IS HOW THE HOLOCAUST WAS PERPETRATED. ALSO HOW DESERT STORM OR OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AKA THE IRAQ WAR WAS BEGAN BY GEORGE W BUSH THIS WAY AS WELL BY REPEATING THE WORDS "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" UNTIL ALL OF CONGRESS BELIEVED IT. OBAMA AND CLINTON DID NOT COMMIT 9/11 ANYMORE THAN IRAQ HAD NUCLEAR ARMS BUT INSTALLING THAT FEAR MADE EVERYONE GO ALONG WITH THE PLAN. WHY? BECAUSE THEY REPEATED IT ENOUGH THAT NOBODY QUESTIONED IT ANYMORE. THIS IS WHY TRUMP HABITUALLY REITERATES EVERY LIE HE SAYS OVER AND OVER BANKING ON YOU BEING TOO DUMB TO NOTICE IT AND JUST BELIEVE HIM OR BETTER YET START REPEATING IT AS WELL. HE MANEUVERED THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION THIS WAY BY REPEATEDLY CLAIMING HE WAS AHEAD IN THE POLLS. THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPAL USE IN PREDICTING STOCK MARKET TRENDS AND HOW BILLIONAIRES MAKE MILLIONS ON A DAILY BASIS. SPOOK THE PUBLIC INTO SELLING AND BUY LOW THEN FLIP IT BY BROADCASTING BIG SALES AT WHICH POINT YOU SELL IT RIGHT BACK TO THEM AT HIGHER PRICES. ITS CALLED HERD MENTALITY ~

Herd mentality, or mob mentality, describes how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors. Examples of the herd mentality include stock market trends, superstition and home décor. Social psychologists study the related topics of group intelligence, crowd wisdom, and decentralized decision making.

Get off my lawn!

  Sitting on my patio after a good meal, just cracked open a superbly chilled beer, I flash backed to Burning Man. There's so many parties around me all with windows wide open, it reminded me of when I just got done working an 8 hour dispatch shift back at the depot. No fanfare there. Just Emery walking in the door saying' "You're free! Go party!"

  I growled or snarled and issued multiple expletives at the notion and said that all I want is an ice cold beer and to turn my goddamn radio off. "OutLaw clear and off com.. no wait, Simon. Simon. Will you come pick me up in the Temple of Golf Cart? NOW, please! Clear.. an off com."

  After Simon torturing me, like only he could do so well.. and a run in with Washoe County Sheriffs Dept pulling us.. making us stop because we were for doing doughnuts in the middle of the ghetto and I had an "open container" in a golf cart which is, we were reminded, a motor vehicle. I had to pour out my cold Sierra Nevada for which I was displeased. That was a long 10 mph drive, with traffic 5 mph, trip down 5:30 and to the other side of Center Camp (behind First Camp) with me maniacally switching back and forth between cursing the alcohol/girl abuse and laughing at the idiocracy of being pulled over in the Temple of Golf Cart. 

  We arrived back to an abandoned Bunnywood/Bollywood (i.e. Raspa and Lady Bee's Art Dept grouping also secret home of the Junior Staff Meeting) and I grasped another cold Pale Ale and flipped the cap off and... in walked a pile of ridiculously dressed in holographic panties with pink and purple fur coats and nothing else even though it's 40-50 degrees raver hippies announcing themselves with "IM A BUUNNNIIIIIIEEEE!!"

  That was the comment. I wished for that moment I had a pistol at least because, we were surrounded! "Arrgh.. go home ya damn hippies." They left and I remembered I work for this rave party thing and that's annoyingly the coolest thing ever. Some things never change...

Addiction is a chronic disease because the recovery is invisible

Addiction is a chronic disease because the recovery is time is longer than mending broken bones, while the brain healing process of recovery is completely invisible. People think of recovery as just the detox process and afterwards you're "normal" again but what they don't realize is you're only half normal, without the drug you are now only capable of thinking as fast as a tired, cranky teen and your body keeps walking into walls and can't keep up with you. This is why rehabs are so long but they are also very isolating, this damages patients ability to form community bonds which they will have to later rely on. Having a network of support is critical to successful recover, this everyone agrees upon so why is building an understanding & aware community of the science on recovery seem to be a missing step or branch of this tree? Replaced by stigmatism and further isolation as AA is suppose to be the healthy community support while it brain washes people into societal class submissions of "addicts" and "normies", which serves no purpose but to dehumanize victims of the pandemic to never gain functional recovery as connection to community is once agin crucial to effective recovery. Addicts are taught to be invisible so they fester together like lepers instead of encouraged to integrate towards a more positive surrounding of companions and possibilities.  

The opposite of addiction is connection. I think the connection to alcoholism and the blatant denial of stage 4 alcoholism is what gives recovery a death sentence but addicts can recover! Where there's a will there's a way, not to be cliche, but by all means!! 93/93/93
