Notes and Not Much Else

The difference between the Devil and the Republican Party (and the Libertarians if I understand them correctly) is that the Devil doesn't claim that his policy of greed and self interest helps others.

I left the following note to myself a couple of night's ago:

"Okay, so here's the deal. I'm the third person narrator. I'm suppossed to know everything."

The note, written late at night was intended to spark some line of thought in the morning. So far the only thought inspired is, huh? This sort of thing happens on a regular basis, night time epiphanies fading to black by day. If I force wakefulness on my drowsy self and then write a more detailed note, I have difficulty getting to sleep. Sleep, as I've noted before, is to old folks what food or sex is to the young; a strong motivational force. Gotta have it. "Ah well, I tell myself, because I'm a what is, is, kind of a guy, it probably wasn't that good of an idea anyway.

I don't really have a political party although I seem to side with the liberals, be they Democrats, Greenies, Socialists or even Communists in the sense that Jesus was a Communist and not the totalitarian versions that exist on the planet for the moment. I sense that there are larger things happening than politics address and it is these things, call them cosmic or spiritual or merely unexplained science that most attract my interest. I'm drawn to mysteries. Can there truly be a shift in worldwide consciousness? Are there other dimensions? Is time linear and could I take Barack Obama one on one in a game of twenty-one winner's out when I was his age? These are the important questions. The Party that can answer them is the Party I'll join.

Meanwhile, March Madness is coming up. I'll make a note of it.

I wish I could share my sleep with you. I've been getting 9-11 hours every night for weeks now. Hibernating this time of year.

Hello Zendoc,

I'd be interested in your take on my post, "Jesus is a communist."

God bless,

Tom Usher
