(golden lady, #2)
Time will wither
Time will trap
Time will break the binds that wrap
around us but not yet fully
Enveloping us in light and dark;
The edging eclipse, the solar arc.
We must walk apace then
Just you and I
Up gutterpipes and through
Fogged windows reaching finally
and truthfully
What we have come to seek;
The answers of The Keep.
Rustling in your sleep For you have promises to keep That night is not so deep.
Rise, child, and breathe.
Tumble, fall, circle, swirl Nightmares and dreams a’whirl The night doth thame, the night doth scare But always you remain aware of the light.
And I with not much to say Not much to ease you on your way But mere words, and I cannot allow This to continue, anyhow.
And yet it moves.
Ah, well. Here are two roses I picked up tonight. One is for my mother, and one is for a tiny little accountant very far away whom I miss speaking to very, very much. Although my mother gets both. But the thought is there…miss ya…
Two roses and a multitude of memories.
Why, oh why, did you have to dress like Batman and choke yourself to get off? Sigh.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank someone randomly. For a little nudge. It was greatly appreciated. That is all.
…so I won’t. Fuck you. 🙂
I would prefer not to.
Pardon my blog being a bit sporadic at the moment; I’m still steering the boat through the waters after my dad’s triple bypass and my mom’s cancer procedure. Lots of follow ups. Plus I have got to find some work. I believe my resume is still up at https://kiplange.com/resume.html. Yeah, I know, it’s cruddy, but I’ve been contracting for a good long while now, portfolio and references available, etc. Anyway, I have to try to harness some of random energy I dump onto the Internet and turn it into more cash. I am working on that, trust me. And I don’t need much. Just some breathing room, that’s all. God *damned* crap economy. Thank you, POTUS and The Keynesian Kops. I’ll get there despite you.
P.S. Address on the resume is messed up. Will fix it at some point. Hasn’t gotten me anything in years, anyway. *shrug*
Well, there. It seems increasingly evident that the current White House administration is, at best, completely incompetent in using power. Or — isn’t so subtle misusing it. This is the sort of thing that is birthed by Obama’s perpetual campaign mode…The Neverending Charm Offensive, if you will.
But, so far, the administration has been able to come out somewhat weakened but still on top. I don’t know about this one. And by “this one” I mean the combo of IRS and Benghazi. Benghazi is a long-leaking affair that simmers; the IRS scandal, however, has gone whacko the first couple of days. At the very least, you have to say things have gone south for the Obama administration this week. And for Obama himself. They clearly don’t have a handle on this.
The thing about the IRS, Mr. President, is that the IRS pisses everybody off, and you decide to let it oversee Obamacare…and then this breaks? Hey, Obama, “your” idol Lincoln (cough *Republican* cough) used to say — you can fool some o’ the people all o’ the time, all of them some o’ the time, but not all o’ them all o’ the time. Shame on you!
This noxious cloud you have created is the very antithesis of “transparency” in government, Mr. President, I am sorry to say. And fairness. We, the people, are not allowed to fuck with the IRS. They can seriously screw our lives over. I faithfully do not fuck with the IRS. And now, you’re telling me that I might be under closer scrutiny because I donated to the GOP presidential candidate?
That, my friend, is an “enemies list”.
Nobody likes an “enemies” list except total assholes. And frankly, I should be under less scrutiny, because, according to my political beliefs, you render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. I’ll give you my money. I will abide by the law. I don’t think I even have a speeding ticket, okay? Or parking ticket. I’m not kidding. In return, I ask that you not pry into affairs or opinions that are my own and that in no way harm anyone. Is that too much to ask? You know, the general, “I’ll be over here doing my own thing, not bothering you, if I am, just tap me on the shoulder and mention it politely” philosophy?
The one where I keep my nose clean, because, unlike you people, if I don’t — I can’t PLEAD STUPID?
Okay, I don’t have a ton of time here, so let’s keep it brief.
We’ve got the AP, IRS, and Benghazi scandals breaking (well, Benghazi was around, but the media, ‘cept Fox, swept it under the carpet obediently — now they can’t ignore it). See, my friends? Sometimes patience is a virtue. This is a President who is misusing power. His entire administration. You think they give a rat’s ass about you? Little old middle-class you? I’m not saying Mitt Romney would have actively cared more (I happen to think he would have, but that’s just me), but, I mean, let’s take a look at a very good piece originally from National Review talking about how Obama is screwing young people with the Affordable Care Act:
And Obamacare is pretty much all I need to know about Obama. He knew public sentiment on the issue. He knew the public was saying, “Okay, we elected you, but we expected that some of that stuff you were talking about was bullshit. Like grabbing 1/6-1/7th of the U.S. economy and making a brand spanking new entitlement program. Hold up…”. They even went so far as to pry Ted Kennedy’s seat away in Massachussetts from the claws of the Dems with Brown touting himself as the “51st vote against” Obamacare. Thus supposedly stopping him. No, instead, the POTUS, aided by other hard-left ideologues, used arcane budget procedures NEVER intended for this sort of huge legislation to ram the damn mess through.
I warned you before he was elected; I warned you last election; I will continue to warn you. Obama is a hard-left ideologue. I don’t want to stick a stupid label like “Socialist” on him, as the umbrage of the word is simply too large, but yes he has some socialist tendencies. He also has some capitalist tendencies — believe it or not. But he is a hard-left ideologue who believes he is better than you at running your own life (which is sort of redundant).
The point I’m trying to make is, the scandals come to bear on that. This is an arrogant man. A man Sarkozy (France) described as “arrogant and naive”. Now, naivety is one thing. But couple with arrogance? It means you’re naive — and you’ll never learn. The scandals are the outpouring of this admin’s attitude — its “demons from the id”, if you want to go Freudian/Forbidden Planet — towards the country.
Um, what else? Can’t think of anything. Feral Cortex out.
(dark lady 2)
Gracefully tensed and
easy under pressure she moves
So slow as to assuredly
…but no, we must
Catch our breath, or hurriedly
Feel the tension of her dreams
drowning us as we
drowning me as I
…attempt to capture the moment,
and preserve it for it serves to
nullify my identity;
And am I her and she me
Through eons unutterably, unshakably
the same for the place that starts
as you toss headlong your heart
the rhythm continues;
For She is Mercy;
And for that, she shall be mine.
