Meet you at the Center of the Earth?

I just saw a “Journey to the Center of the Earth” commercial. How many of these have been made? I know it is science fiction and all, but we are supposed to believe in something basic–like gravity! T Rex or an associate was chasing the explorers with the earth shaking like in Jurassic Park, only the center of the earth is a point more or less.

I doubt if you could breathe anything there. So we have to suspend common sense somewhat, maybe I will have to see the movie, to know what I am talking about. (duh!) But it would be cool it there was this weightless scene at the dead center. Now that would be kinda fun. A center point where everything falls away from. Then the dinosaurs, ancient secret societies, along with various and sundry aliens, or missing stockings, could run upside-down in circles on the ground around it, but if you tried to cut across, you would bounce right back like a yo-yo. Then we could find out who figures out how to catch who before the center of the earth gets filled with stomach juices, or the theater.

As a kid I found Journey to the Center of the Earth movie a surreal alternate reality show. Where does it’s sun light come from? There was a scene with a fantastic surreal sunset at a sea I seem to remember. The water leaks down there somehow? Air holes reach down there from all the tunnels being dug to China?—You know; to bring the starving children your dinner leftovers.

What about the mantle or the molten core? Just throw those out for the sake of mystery? If so, lets just call it SCIFI Channels Stargate, and get the explanation of the planets “surface” at the center of the earth looking and acting like earths surface over with.

So there, big summer blockbuster movie people, take that. Boy. I sure showed them.

What do you mean no one will read this?

Update; Oooh!  I just saw more of a commercial on this movie and something like fireflies were swirling in the  middle of the scene.  Could it be that center point I was referring to?  Perhaps the next commercial will tell.  Keep checking in to find out how little else I know about this movie opening July 11 at a theater next  to the center of the earth near you.

OBAMA, CLINTON, VS. MCCAIN

POLLS

A poll on the news today, has Republicans believing Obama has a near 3 to 1 advantage to Clinton in a contest with John McCain. At least that is what I thought it meant, as I only saw one second of that poll on the screen. Instantly they went to a whole different poll about a different angle on who would win if they were caught balancing a ball on their nose. Might as well have been.

A poll by any other name would smell as sweet?

Now this is a new poll so up to date, it has not been taken yet!

It has just been determined that the election for president is officially over. The winner will be Poll Poll, by a wide enough margin to keep the presidency from now on.

50+ years and I have never been asked.

I took a poll on that. It was determined I do not fit into any worthwhile demographic. So I commissioned another poll that said; Would you put this guy into a polls data base if you were given a dollar after? No. So that poll, which used to be highly reliable, has been determined to have somehow gone berserk.

Then I commissioned a similar one that said; Would you put this guy into your polls data bank if he we gave you one thousand dollars and promised he would say you are the best person there ever was. Well! Jackpot! A whopping 99%, almost as pure as Ivory Soap, said unequivocally; “Heck Yes!

Now I am polled all the time and never have any money. Soon the phone will be cut off.

This story is true! Only it is all a big fat lie.

Well that is yet another lie.  Only the part from the nose balancing down is a fib, or as a focus group suggested; a misstatement.

Thanks for answering our call.

Your check will be in the mail.

Just look into the crystal POLL

BLOG WITH HAT

HAT ON BLOGGER

Sometimes it is necessary to blog with a hat on. Like when you just take a flowers photo, then hurry it onto your blog for some gardener ideas of urgency.

Yeah. That sounds like an explanation that might work on someone.

Actually, I was just out in the sun. Of course.

But, there is now a whole new world of clothing for the do it yourself blogger, the independent blogger, unafraid of what the world thinks of how they look and what they wear. The; I did it my way bloggers. A whole catalog just for these maverick minds of the nether under ether cyber space worlds. Where we blog in the same space but not the same place. Or is that time? Clothes even for those who blog in the nude, or never blog on Sundays. We have got the outfits to make those other independent one of a kind bloggers jealous!

BE THE FIRST ON YOUR BLOG TO BLOG IN STYLE!

Watch your stats soar!

How will that graph portray your billion visits a day? A line to the moon! Alice. (Honeymooner’s reference.)

Who knew that with just the right attire, you could become the penultimate blog?

Not me.

NATIONAL POETRY MOTH

NATIONAL POETRY MOTH

Would it be the moon

or a shimmer of your wing

I come to the light

at the tunnel end of darkness

I come into you

the dream

and I receive pain

the light blinds

but still I persist

your appeal is addiction

I live in resignation

to the fate of attraction

I could not resist

typing into fire

becoming gas and ash

all to be more near

to bring into my eyes

the light that you are

the pain I ignore

for it comes with life

but why must I

live just to die?

Oh?

You said poetry month!

Forget about it.

STUFF WHITE PEOPLE BLAH

YOU KNOW THE FUNNY THING ABOUT THOSE WHITE PEOPLE? THEY BUY…

It might be that I am iconoclastic, but I almost never pay any attention to the top WordPress departments. I guess they go for diversity. I notice the biggest one, as it is on for about two seconds before I am on my way.

I dislike visually that big black RP of whomever. I’m getting old, and it reminds me of the REST IN PEACE initials or something. Another one looks like some kind of demented murderers half image, so I rush away. But all of this is a subjective digression.

I will not be going to the newly famous site bought by Target on WordPress, called; the crap white people stuff their lives with.

What?

I quickly set up accounts with names like; Brown people do this with their money, Italians like to be blank in the afternoon, Lithuanians are full of blank in winter, Yellow is the mellow color to be to buy blank, The most bestest blog there ever like was for…, Did you know, everyone who post on this site has…? etc. I want to get in on the separation-alienation of individual identities action. I hope Wallmart is noticing.

APRIL FOOLS!

What do you mean?

It’s still April isn’t it?

There’s one day?

You have got to be kidding me!

BLACK HOLES AND PARALLEL UNIVERSES; UH, SO.

AVOID GAZING AT IF INEBRIATED

AVOIDING INFINITY SICKNESS

BLACK HOLES, I recommend one a day, unless otherwise prescribed by ones doctor. Parallel universes, however many of them there many be, with their own physics and such, I suggest only having on New Years Eve. (Apply directly on the forehead.)

[I supposedly have what it takes to be a physicist or mathematician, according to an aptitude test. May be why I pay attention to these things.]

Well, I like speculations of many sorts, just check out this blog site, but there is a point of diminishing returns. I occasionally see the self appointed eager spokespersons of astrophysics and nuclear or particle physics, all excited about what mathematical theory may or may not allow. I could see getting all drawn up in the competition to prove or disprove (Ha!) a theory by some allegedly contradictory theories new found “proof”. “I was more right all along! Thank you, I’m more perceptive in the ways of the universe. It’s a gift. What can I say? Thank you very much. It was nothing.”

INFINITY SICKNESS

While the Cosmos may be more grand than we even have proof of. I am not encouraged to think incomprehensible physics exist, virtually in the same space you might, as incomprehensible as you may be. That does not help me focus well on my own life. Exciting to stimulate kids going into math and science, maybe. This is not too unlike saying every one of your dreams are actually a reality somewhere.  Could be who knows?  But heaven help many of the scenarios I have visited.

I personally am biased against a freaky universe that wants to keep changing landmarks or street signs just so I cannot find my way home. And what about when you need to call on your cell phone and its out of range or the battery is dead? Those dream theories being real are bad enough, it does not excite me to think that somewhere I will never be, quarks cannot stay in their place, or there are no sensible elements, or gravity, is that always going to be there? Are you sure? Got water? Something going to stand in for its place? Are there suns? Seems hardly a point going there, so why bother with getting excited about infinite potential parallel universes? Except to pretend to know something questionable because you are the expert.

Instead of inspiring scifi fantasies masquerading as actualities through imagination and mathematical projections, as someones dreams come true, maybe. Makes me a little sea sick to entertain the unfathomable–infinity sickness.

IMMUNITY RESPONSE TO INFINITY SICKNESS

So, I’m speaking for myself, but you might happen to agree with me; do you really want to think of being somewhere where you bread the butter, or put a can into your coffee? Me, not so much. When the next pseudo-Carl Sagan tries to get you all excited by manically talking about parallel universes and unknown laws of physics, do like that blond actress on (Is it MAD TV?) used to do.

The cure is to put your palms over your ears, (or a finger in each one) and chant, NAH, NAH, NAH; NAH, NAH, NAH, or some similar idiotic sound. It may very well preserve your sanity.

YOU ARE THE BESTEST WRITER EVER!!!—NEXT.

ABOUT FORM LETTERS JUST FOR YOUR EGO

I put one poem on-line at a poetry site many years ago. That site went on to send me many invitations to events over the years. Some events had (lets say ex) movie or TV stars (surly paid to be there) who your were invited, as a famous poet, to hob-nob with presumably.

Just one poem may I remind you.

I went on to receive dozens of invitations to award ceremonies and anthologies (which will cost you) because I was such a well known famous poet.  My prise waiting upon my arrival. The invitations would say my name then tell of how familiar they (esteemed poetry judges) were with the body of my work and how respected I was.  Won’t I come to get my famous award for my famous work they were so aware of?—One short not so special poem.

WHY TELL ME ABOUT THIS?

There is a like minded little note that arrives as spam, but is in a form letter, occasionally with a word changed. It goes something like this; I came across your site on such and such, read a few of your post, and am linking you to my whatever RSS or BS feed. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more of your; (me being sarcastic) so famous poetry that I love you for. So won’t you put me on your site as a new best friend?

I guess some think poets are desperately lonely and ego insecure, looking for someone to say they are actually wonderful and recognize their special, extra special expressive gifts. (Not that going to an event with people in the same boat as you might not be a good, but expensive time.) But there seems to be the same assumption that a little flattery on-line will get you to help someone market something.

IT’S WAY BACK! BACK! BACK! IT’S A GRAND SPAM!!!

Your new best on-line friend recognizing your great site and astounding writing skills, may just be using you as a sales ploy.

I say that because I know your work. We all do. You are an incredible resource for humankind, thanks to your site, our lives are much richer. Bless you for all you offer to all of us, and if you would be so kind, would you please check out the adds on my site? I’m sure someone as special as you would find something you could use, being that you have such remarkable discernment. No really. You are so wonderful I cannot believe it!
