Weapons of Mass Retardation (The ‘Chosen’ People Delusion that Supported the Iraq Massacre)
Why are we not allowed to talk about this stuff? The Zionist/American Exceptionalist reasons for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, that is. It was never (obviously) about 9/11 or “weapons of mass destruction.” But of course, the morons populating the planet believed that shit. Observing the Judaistic (that includes Christianity as a sect of the…

I’m finally going to record my album.
Was thinking a lot about time, and music, out on my run today. Listened to Fall Out Boy’s new album, and thought it was funny how they’ve become tempered with age, and now so much of their emo angst seems balanced by “Dad Wisdom,” if you will. We’re about the same age. One of the…

Plum Blossoms in Niigata, Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo — Out for a Run in New Shoes
Did a slower-paced, relaxed run today with hills, and listened to Haruka Nakamura’s album “Twilight” along the way. I say slow and relaxed, but I’m still not back in the zone cardio-wise, so it was a bear. But a necessary one, and enjoyable all the same. The plum blossoms have popped out here in Niigata,…
