Still A. R. Ammons, 1926 – 2001 I said I will find what is lowly and put the roots of my identity down there: each day I’ll wake up and find the lowly nearby, a handy focus and reminder, a ready measure of my significance, the voice by which I would be heard, the wills, the kinds of selfishness I could freely adopt as my own: but though I have looked everywhere, I can find nothing to give myself to: everything is magnificent with existence, is in surfeit of glory: nothing is diminished, nothing has been diminished ...

My morning was lit by the New Yorker evisceration of the privileged white male everyone needs to mock.  Ben Affleck, easily the absolute apotheosis of desire when it comes to gifts of the flesh and spirit is bumbling around looking disconsolate.  Tortured by the people-of-color gossip sites, abandoning his wife, Jennifer Garner who is loved by movie-going soccer moms everywhere, addicted to gambling, addicted to drinking, and no doubt cocaine and pot, Affleck was also ...

This is an amazing speech.  I would imagine that everyone in the media will largely ignore it, other than shouting about ‘lies’.  What he’s talking about is business.  Good business.  How to create wealth that everyone experiences.  I worked in the media for more than 25 years.  I did not meet one single journo who understood how business worked.  I met a lot who could burble impressively about economics.  But they were too often  wrong.  No ...

Jesus wept: “Hence, his life remains incessantly infused with her identity-infidelity, and her abhorrent ascensions to those constant salacious sessions of sexual solitaire she’d seen as self-regard.” ― page 11 “Whenever he felt these collisions of incubus and succubus, he punched his way out of the proletariat with the purposeful inputting of covert codes, thereby drawing distraction through Scottsdale deployments, dodging the ambush of innocents astray, evading the viscount vogue of Viagratic assaults on virtual vaginas, or ...

And moussaka.  So not a complete waste. I can get fatter.

Jordan Peterson, who admits he is now living in a state of terror, so suddenly is he a target, explains something that has puzzled me for a long long long time.  Why are many of the women I know either miserable or crazy at least some of the time?  This is so true as to be never mentioned in common congress but accepted as a truism.  A shared misery is the accepted temperature of many ...

Morning latte:  almond milk, fo ti, ashwagandha, maca, reishi, mucuna puriens, lion’s mane, alkaline protein powder, coconut oil, almond butter. Came to the dire conclusion that everything in my diet must change.  If Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a precursor of cancer, which it is, then the relapse is a strong strong signal.  Cancer is relatively easy to beat back the first time, harder the second and the third, well, the prognosis is not good.  Therefore no ...

I was raised by an army colonel – he retired as Colonel of his regiment – the Victoria Rifles – after the Second War.  He enlisted and went to officer school in 1938, was rescued at Dunkirk, landed on Juno Beach on D-Day.  His company, C Company – went further into enemy territory than any other company that day.  He was put in charge of a Nazi work camp, and that changed him forever. He didn’t ...
