The New Shadow - JR Tolkien

Tolkien began a fourth book, that was meant to be a successor to the lord of the rings. The book was entitled "The New Shadow" and was not published. According to the record, there was only a few pages of the work ever done, it was a work of the fourth age, which is the age of man. It is telling that Tolkien, in his deference to childhood fantasies, and a perfectionist - chose to stop work rather than look deeply into humanity and the race of men. Tolkien was a master craftsman of lore. And he would have attempted to view a race of people that are by definition imperfect. The real question is, even if he only did 10 pages or so - where would this work be found? In order to separate illusion from reality in Tolkien's work and see beyond the simple fairy tale we have to accept a monstrous bias and work diligently to delete it first from our own lives. It is impossible, for example, to delete the routine of life. But it is not impossible to delete the escapist ...

An Unfinished Life

Image
John F. Kennedy had a painful , and exotic life that ended by an assassins bullet in Texas in 1963. Similiar to Governor Bill Richardson , JFK had pursued international affairs and diplomacy. His graduate thesis was "Appeasement at Munich". The paper studied and disagreed with Neville Chamberlain's decision to meet Hitler at Munich and advocated taking a diplomatic stance against Appeasement, however made the prediction that 1939 England would have rejected war. (cf. for an internal perspective from within Germany, "Letter from Thomas Mann to the Dean of The University" - from Archives. This is the first post that was ever written on this blog. I mean, so what right. But still the idea of appeasement, from both an internal and external perspective was ill received by Mann and his letter serves as a guidepost for collecting oneself in the face of institutionalized corruption). John Kennedy was the worlds fastest public speaker. He was clocked by the G...

Suffer Well - Depeche Mode [Tron]

Pain in human life can be a given. Childbirth. Death. Loss of a spouse. Loss of a child. Loss of employment. Employment . Children. Spouse. Half-life. ... But suffering is always a choice . Machines give us greater range to allow us explore existence, and even nothingness , as long as it leaves the faintest particle. Do we stop , at only what our finite senses and consciousness blindly tell us - is real. Do we pretend to be able to sense the different worlds. Deus Ex Machina A.M.D.G.

Waiting for a Miracle - Leonard Cohen [Evolution]

My friend and I spoke of evolution last night. He said that Pius XII in his Humani Generis laid out a kind of map for how evolution fits into things. He said that - he said that the idea is that the body or the animal element of us, is straightforwardly studied as part of an evolutionary chain, but that the rational soul - that is the part of us that is rational and above the animals - not just toolmaking, because birds weave nests, but maybe when we first made an equilateral triangle or drew something cool on a cave wall. I guess maybe you could call it , when we first had a unique understanding of abstract objects. Catechism 390 says "The account of the fall in Genesis 3 uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event that took place at the beginning of the history of man ". The Original happiness of Adam and Eve, in a state of justice, integrity and immortality, the command of obedience, the sin and fall from the state of innocence and the promise of t...

Penguin, How would you know?

A male and a female penguin exchange work, raising their young. The male spends four months without food standing in sub zero temperature. When at last winter comes, the antartic penguin exchanges the egg with the female, or the new hatchling one. Both still fit neatly into the male penguin's breeding pouch. Neglect here between parents, given the conditions - is defined as - being unable to exchange the egg from one parent to another, in less than 15 to 20 seconds. There are other factors. But roughly, the parents have to make sure the egg is protected at all costs. There are known instances of the male not wishing to yield the hatchling to the female. The male will walk away, chick in pouch. In these instances the female always carefully and patiently pursues the male until the male finally transfers the chick to the female and breakfast time ensues. And the male can eat for the first time since overwinter. While the males wait for the females to return, they random...

Double overhead from the back

Most people who are now reading my blog ( another 100% increase from last biweekly - thank you everybody) - most of you don't know me. This isn't supposed to be about my personal life. This is a shrine to Noam Chomsky and the Goddess Kali. The goddess of dissolution of desire. And her Lover. So I am curious if any of you ever guessed what I did when I was younger. Here's a hint.: Yes that could have been me. I was a big wave surfer. Mostly tracked hurricanes and surfed them. A wave like this, you measure it from the back.(eh, brah da kine wahini h'ui o' he'e nalu bra) This wave is Triple Overhead from the Back. I've done a Double, about 2/3 the size of this one. When I paddled into the wave, it broke on a point and wrapped around the island. I remember the board. A red Barry Kan'a'pu'ani gun. Walked down onto the beach and the ground was shaking. Tornadoes had spun all the seaweed onshore into tight little balls. The ride down the fac...

The story about Friday

Ok, my friday was messed up. The highlight of it was that I installed a wireless network and it went well. >:) So I am heading over to the stables afterward, and Its a nice friday evening so I'm running with the horse down the pasture and then across the road, all hell breaks loose. Sirens. Cop cars. Fire engines. Fine. So for whatever reason, I ignore this and I decide at that point, somewhere in the middle of the pasture - that the horse needs to get a bath. I am washing off the horse, on a hill by a lake where we have the ties set up - and then from across the lake I hear this unearthly wail, a woman's cry. It was both angry and sad at the same time, very unsettling. I sight through the trees - and I half-catch a view of three or four people at the edge of the lake. She sounds like she is freaking out, but not being hurt. Then, from around the corner, comes the rest of the county contingent. - I finish off the horse and set her into her stall and then I he...

Eros Tense

Eros tense is the verb conjugation which refers to a combination of three tenses - past, present and future. I've thought about it since I'm getting ready to write a wikipedia article on it, and the best possible idea I can convey about this kind of a tense (which was used extensively in the bible) is that this is the present, but with recursion. So for example, you can describe the state of say, someone planting a kiss on someone. You can say "She is kissing that wolf man on his furry forehead". So Eros tense, think of it like the fractal sense (?) , will be that kiss with recursion. Lets say.. "She (is/was/willbe) kissing that wolf man on his furry forehead." Does this make sense at all? A person I know in SL that is a GT professor IRL said that it is common to find words in ancient text to be conjugated without tense, that is, the word "IS" for example simply being the only verb that exists in the finite vocabulary of the primitive...
