Colorless Green Ideas

Spring to summer Summer to fall Everything Win or lose Is at least in part The first woman The first fruit The man who fell to earth Where do we go when we die? How do we know we are really alive? We are born blind We listen to her heart And we begin The normal arc of life Birth. School. Work. Death. The most beautiful thing a man will ever see is the woman who will be his wife The most beautiful thing she will ever see is her firstborn son A path to spring that will turn to summer and summer to fall the cold like a cat toying with a mouse plays with the leaves on the trees and tears them down But something survives There is a Book in Alexandria and deep within the fire Something comes forth lashing into the world the last thing I saw The last thing I heard We are never coming home

We meet in college and play games wearing T shirts that say things like time flies like an arrow fruit flies like a banana We sleep alone horniness pervading the quiet room To close our eyes and implode into nothing In dream come slumber enshroud in thy purple cloak a mending wall for all the tears in the fabric of time made out of hydrogen lines Who are you? Nature, or grace? Why does nature vy with itself? Are there two powers in nature, and not one? Does nature have some avenging power within itself? Where do you like to be touched, on your breast? When the universe began the band was playing our song on instruments out of tune you were unborn I dream about you and I coming together all is fair in love and war space married time at the altar At the fall of her wedding dress an old flower comes alive from 32,000 years before Christ and blooms white against  russian snow

Some grow young .. Some grow cold.. I woke up in between a memory and a dream

Getting up to splash my face.. Wanting just to stay awake.. Wondering how much I can take... Should I try to do some more?

We're going to get a rally on Wall Street Today, but it's not going to look like what you think it's going to look like. So what will it look like? Well. The first thing you want to do, is to go ahead and check what sort of stocks were selling well last week - about this time. The idea behind the rally today is , putatively - the removal of the downward pressure that Greece was putting on the markets. The Euro has so far saved alot of headaches and cash for the EU, and improved international trade and parity with the US Dollar and the Chinese. This has been very good for the EU, and its the reason why Germany held on. We're buying Volkswagens, Porsches and Mercedes. They're selling them. The only responsible country in the EU decided it's better to try to work out the differences inside the Eurozone and keep the Euro, than it was to trash it and go back to a fragmented currency. That's the bottom line. But what happened in Greece, was theft on a hi

First. You. Nearly 40% of America no longer identifies as belonging to the Republican party. You call yourself independent. Maybe you are. Then. Identity. It's part of who you are. You don't like to pay taxes. Who does? You're not into bigger, or less effecient bureaucracy. Who would be? This isn't the plot to a bad science fiction movie. This is your identity, you - your life. You need to be known for what you've accomplished. Whom you love. Where your loyalties lie. You're wearing the shirt. You are someone, and that person has beliefs, values - and allegience. You identify yourself carefully. The Republican party cannot identify itself. Bush was not a conservative. The increase in spending , under his watch - was astronomical. The Bush Republicans held on firmly to their power base. As a result, there are factions within the party that hold allegiance far away from you , and more and more towards the special interest. Admitting non conservative, evan

At last count, Rick Santorum was at or near GOP primary front runner status - having won the Iowa caucus (on recount), three contests in a row at polling before last, and is now leading in the polls. This is where we can begin to understand the disintegration of the Republican in a more complete way. Rick Santorum's rise to power indicates that within the Republican Party - there are factions that are moving to break it apart. Santorum has risen to power by the votes of the minority. He is , by all accounts, a Theocrat. He has publicly stated that he does not believe birth control works, and that sex is bad for society. His view of Christianity is bound to his views of governance, and this does not disqualify him a priori from holding the highest office - however - he is at heart a prude - and although he wears his Christianity on his sleeve, he is in actually a character actor. He is well known for hot button issues, however he has not spent alot of time standing up fo

The Republican Primary continues to deliver a message, and you should listen to it. It starts off with a quiet voice at first - and then , gradually - you become aware. The Republican Party is dying. The process of death is multistage -and given that we tend to live in a Society of the Spectacle - Death , whether in Video Game, in a film, or elsewhere - is usually considered to be something that can be commutated but past a certain point, it is irreversible. Our bodies and those of other living things have a strange code within them that tells them when to die, and once that process begins it cannot stop. That is where the Republican party has found itself. Consider the differences between the four that are left. Paul, Romney, Gingrich - and Santorum. These men represent such radically divergent views on Foreign Policy, Space Exploration, Social Conservatism. Consider the gap between libertarian and theological conservative. One stands for freedom, and the other stands for le

Life has a funny way of ending The illusion everything we see or seem but a dream within a dream But hard reality crashing like the elements to change solute from solvent dissolving us What is the nature of the whole? What does it mean, to change? The only wealth you will keep forever Is the wealth you give away And part of you lives when all of you are gone

GJ667Cc is a planet in a triple star system about 22 light years away from us. Last week, a paper was published the findings that this planet is found safely in the triple point band where water can be found in liquid, solid, and gaseous form (triple point). GJ667Cc orbits a red dwarf - planet is about 5 times bigger than earth, and its entire orbit takes 28 days. The picture below is an artistss rendition of its sister planet, GJ667Cb which is about 6 times the size of earth. The paper that will publish greater detail about its sister planet, will come out later this month. Science is explored by the arts. The Art of Creation is explored by Science.

I got a letter today from someone who could write checks for north of 100k a piece, and I looked inside and saw a check waiting inside - and I suddenly felt sick. For some reason, I didn't want to see money. I felt as if getting a big check from out of nowhere would somehow be a distraction. My mind flashed to what I might do with the check, leaving the letter more or less unopened. I finally concluded that I would play the game to my own rules. That if there was any money in the envelope, it would go to people that I loved but not myself. I opened the letter and then deposited the money in the bank, and plan on spending the money to buy stock for those people. But then it occurred to me, that perhaps that was the point of how I had been raised. I don't think we should feel good about , say - winning the lottery. To have, in your hand - any amount of money on that scale is to suddenly upend your financial picture and most are ill prepared to deal with the consequences.
