Beautiful Things That Men Made

With the proper amount of money, you may buy beautiful things that men made. Without it, you must settle for the beautiful things that God made.


However, even if you lack the requisite lucre, you may cultivate the fine art of enjoying that which you don't possess, and enjoy both.

You Have A Choice, my Dear Frida

I have not touched on things spiritual very much in this blog (some would say that is understandable since this is, after all, a humor blog, and what does spirituality have to do with humor -- you might be surprised). Ms. Kahlo seems to believe that her death is not the end of her existence, and that she will do what she can to guarantee that she never end up in a body on this planet again.  From what Near Death Experiencers say (and, if one is to take them at their word, who should know better?), we human spirits are not required to incarnate on this Earth -- it is a choice we make in order to test what we have learned "on the Other Side" and to advance ourselves spiritually through pre-planned experiences. It takes a lot of guts, apparently, to come here. It's not for sissies. But not every individual, conscious/sentient energy form decides to take that plunge. So, Frida, you are perfectly within your "rights" never to return. 


But I would take a bet that you do, Sweetheart.


Many Thanks to A 1000 Broken Dreams

Bookmark or Reminder?

The skull of Nostradamus sat comfortably between page 176 and 177 of the tome, blissfully unaware of the peacock quill behind, which Locke used to make annotations. The dead don't care to read, only to repose. Let the living be concerned with the knowledge of this world.


Eternally Grateful to She Walks Slowly

Yeah, Yeah

If you make the SAME FUCKING CHOICES over and over again, Einstein.

Another Day In The Day School At Danzig

Ursi loved her lessons with the idealistic Fraulein Schnauder. She was so wise, so profound, and she had told her that she exchanged letters with the Fuehrer on a weekly basis.
