What?...exactly.

Way down at the center of the Earth, the core as it is called, the pull is intense. The rest of it, what I see every day, endlessly revolves, but down there it is all held in tight. I want to be that close, leave the cycle, become random. I am a part of the pattern and I know that is why I feel this way. So much of it is polluted.

There is the challenge.

I tried to dig it up once. I wanted to know if it would pull my soul out and then would it also find a place in rotation? Follow me around batting at the back of my head? But, my palms blistered before I made it. I would like to say I did not give up, but I did.

Yesterday, I read in the news that someone had finally reached it. Once they arrived, they made legal claim of the core of the Earth. Stuck a flag in it and gave it a proper name, in a proper way...I hate proper. So, now I want it even more. The rest of it can float off for all I care.

Well, not all of it.

I will try again. This time, a bigger shovel and a pair of gloves might do the trick, save my hands. I will not quit; it is worthy work. When I get there, I will release it. I no longer wish to be a part of its rotation. Instead, I wish for the whole of it to become the rest of it.


p.s. each day the same way and then look at it again if its there, focus.

So, now I want it even more. The rest of it can float off for all I care.

Okay, so this one upon, ehhem, further inspection, kind of seems flip-floppy. Kind of like weighing some issues.

The outside things, the ones we see everyday, the things that we notice, the things we take for granted, the rest, seem to not have as much value, right?

So, now I want it (the inside) even more.

Somebody got to it, now I want some of it, too. It's valuable. It has meaning.

Well, not all of it.

If we lost some of our outside, we wouldn't be us. We'd be unrecognizable, and half the time, no one gives a flying fuck about what's on the inside, so we would be pretty useless. So, we can't let all of it go.

When I get there, I will release it. I no longer wish to be a part of its rotation.

And this confuses me, because throughout the post, he's striving to reach the core, the inside. But, the tables get turned, and now we're back in the rest.

So, when he gets to the rest though we were just talking about getting to the core, he decides he doesn't want to be there, but that he'd like for the inside to just become the outside.

Mustard,

Brilliant!

Don't we spend most of our time, well, I know you and I do, searching for that it....the thing, the reason, the purpose, that which makes me, me and you, you.

The outside....those differences are apparent...and damn it sucks sometimes...wishing you looked like her, had her life, etc. And you wonder, what the fuck is her secret? Besides the outside part, oh she's a beauty, but she's happy.

WTF???? What the fuck makes some people get it and others not? Why do people like me and you spend our whole lives searching? And others just seem to be born knowing what it is?

Am I babbling yet?

sdock10 said...

The outside part, the part that seems like bullshit, is still a very important part because that's the face we present to the world. That's the first thing people see. Most can't be bothered to get past the first layer if they don't like what they see.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, exactly.

And I would say that nine times out of ten, outward appearances are only good for first impressions.

Imagine if our insides were our outsides. We'd probably scare people off, even though that's the more important part in my opinion.

Even though the insides are golden, it probably be too much for us to handle.

Get me?

But Mustard, why do some people just seem to get it? They got this shit all figured out? Do they really?

Or are they good at pretending?

Does anyone really have their shit together?

So, maybe it's a double-edge sword.

I guess it's all about deciding which face to put on in the morning.

My insides are pretty effin scary on some days. Ya know?

But maybe that's just because I haven't figured out how to merge the inside with the outside?

That would mean being completely honest with myself. Myself doesn't like me most of the time.

No; I disagree. Everyone's got some issues, but I know plenty of people who aren't a whole big bag of issues putting on a false face of happiness. I've got my things going on for sure, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that I "don't have it together." I mean there are some days when I don't but, you know.

In short, I certainly don't suffer and I know loads of people who don't. People who, even younger than I, have it totally together, and it's not an act.

Hello Star! ^_^

Anonymous said...

STAR!

Hey!

Anonymous said...

Okay, I'm going to post it now. It's geeky though.

New research suggests that time might have existed before the Big Bang.

The discovery comes from studying the cosmic microwave background (CMB), light emitted when the Universe was just 400,000 years old....

The CMB is relic radiation that fills the entire Universe and is regarded as the most conclusive evidence for the Big Bang.

Although this microwave background is mostly smooth, the Cobe satellite in 1992 discovered small fluctuations that were believed to be the seeds from which the galaxy clusters we see in today's Universe grew.


Dr Adrienne Erickcek, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and colleagues now believe these fluctuations contain hints that our Universe "bubbled off" from a previous one.


Okay, first of all, the universe "bubbled off" from a previous one? Like asexual reproduction mother-daughter colonies? Holy crap! If there was another universe before this one, WTF happened in it? Was I there?

Secondly, and kind of importantly to me, this is sort of soothing to think that there was Time before The Big Bang. It's always totally gotten me all twisted up inside to think that there might not have been. Because for all that I can smugly say "Oh yes, why of course Time only exists in our perception blah blah blah" in a snotty tone, the idea of there being no time doesn't fit into my head. I can fit the lack of other dimensions in, but not the fourth. Nuh-uh.

PJ wanted me to pass this along to everyone:



Hi, i will try to get online tomorrow or the next day.

I wanted you all to know i see the Hi Pj's.
And i smile every time and it really makes me want to cry but in the good way.

I know it's such a small thing, but if all of you knew how i smile when i see it, you would know how much a word from home means to me right now, i know i have said that before, but i do mean it.

And i see the anons have been around too much lately, but remember not one of them can tare us apart, we are Mayo's little family now.

And i know each and everyone of you can tare a anon, a new ass hole
if they mess with you.

But some do get offended by what a
anon might say, even if this is just a blog, people have feelings and they know this and try to use it to get to you.

To them that do get mad and offended, stay strong,
ignore them.
pass on by them.
Do not respond.

Cause if no one talks back then it is useless for them to keep going and they give up and go away.
As they say....don't fan the fire!

And i don't mean to included the good anons! Hi! I know you don't know me but Hi!


I love this blog, and all of you, believe it or not, you are all in my thoughts and as close to my heart as any friend might be.


---->""" MAYO """,<----

DO YOU SEE THIS!!
IM TALKING TO YOU!!!

Sorry i just never talk to you much and i wanted you to at least read this.

Thank you for all theses amazing people that can touch the heart of someone who has no one.

You brought me a small family of friends i thought i would never have, and i just wanted you to know how it has touched me to know they are here when i need them and how when i am sad and want to cry, i can come here and just talk shit.

They make me smile and laugh.
Yet never knowing before i signed on how depressed i am on the other side of this screen, only that i signed off happy, it's such a good feeling.

And I was just wondering if you feel it also.
And No! This is not to get you to respond to me, cause you know I'm not that way.
It was just a thought i had...i get one every now ant then...lol

My hear to yours!

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.


and if I use my other favourite colour

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Hell In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.

This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground

Then baked into cakes which are passed around.

Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.

Now the D and the A and the M
and the N and the A
And the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame
Hell

What are we really looking for? What's there to find and do we even know how to find it?

Maybe all of this is just a means to another mean, or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Maybe all it is that we want is some understanding. Not from others, but of ourselves. Just for a day to get it, to be okay, to know what it's all about.

Everybody needs something different. It's pretty much what makes this world go 'round.

Night, dude. Good luck.


EhsEhs
Whatareyoudoing?! Better run for your life, or someone will make you eat sour shit you probably don't want. ;) Muwhaha.

Here's hoping you're okay and that everything is wonderful in your world.

Later, gator.

I hope you're safe and sound!

Mayo,

How are you? I hope you are happy tonight. I hope you are so fucking happy that you just sit there and shake your head and think to yourself, "damn, I have never been this happy in my whole fucking life."

Yeah, that would kick ass!

Tonight, Mustard and I had such a great time going back into your post and digging around. I love looking at it from all sides and then tearing it apart and putting it back together. Fun, fun, fun! Thanks for that. I don't think you could even begin to imagine how much I value your words.

I also kicked the speakers up to 11 tonight and you know what? It still wasn't loud enough. I swear there are some nights I can't get my ear close enough. I want to crawl inside the song and be....

Feel me?

Mayo, just wishing you lots of happiness, because everyone deserves to be happy.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Who? Me?

Just sayin....


G'nite and pleasant dreams to you, my dancing friend!


Always,

hi anon, how are you?

Actually before I go I have to tell you guys: It just got really windy and hazy out here. It smells like: ocean, swamp-rose, ozone, wet earth, heat, and a hint of smoke.

I wish I could bottle it and let you all have a whiff.

Anonymous said...

I don't mean nasty cigarette smoke, I mean smoke like someone made a bonfire or a beach fire earlier in the night, that kind of smoke.

ergoproxy said...

well that's a shame the guy has privated his whole blog, oh well I suppose he'd be getting a whole lot of unwelcome attention now, especially if it was linked at BN or INO or LJ and here, enough people would either see it as a place to post masses of fan messages or to give opinions of Gerard and LynZ which as far as I'm concerned is nothing to do with that guy or his blog, he isn't part of their band or crew, and it's a shame that a really interesting look at life on the road is now unavailable to read.

hahaha. Tired, but I'm ok ergo. How are you?

ergoproxy said...

I'm ok thanks anon

I hadn't heard of the band but I thought it could be that

I have though heard of Ludo they seem really good

toujours said...

hey everyone. :)

i took the tarot test (how could i not?).

You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.


i can live with that. *grin*

The poor guy probably got his ass reamed out. I hope he didn't get fired over it. I haven't been to his page. I would have liked to read it. Too late now.

toujours said...

oh, and it's also kind of interesting that i got that particular card, as my real name means "bright star".

tarot knows all, i'm tellin' ya!

hi TJ!

anon I hope he doesn't get in strife over it as well, It was really about his band anyway there were barely even any mentions of MSI
If he hadn't said anything about the stupid monkey noone would have been the slightest bit interested, unless like me you found the story of the behind the scenes tour stuff really fascinating.

Anonymous said...

Hello Tj

toujours said...

just back-reading, and i'm disappointed about that tour blog! i was just reading it this morning and really liked it - i felt a little foolish clicking over, but i'm glad i did. it was so cool to see what life on the road is really like. i was getting little flashbacks, too, from my own trip, even though i was just travelling around on my own.

i wanted to keep reading it. it was fueling my adult-version run-away-and-join-the-circus fantasy. fooey.

poor guy. :(

ergoproxy said...

TJ the star sounds lovely, and very appropriate

hey anon me too!
(I really cannot decide on one fave colour)


how was your day TJ?

toujours said...

hello ergo, hello there anon. :)

i liked the behind-the-scenes stuff. i guess everyone who ends up going to a lot of concerts like i did probably wonders what it would be like to get paid to be there. i was very curious to read along for the whole tour.

anima said...

This is not something I really feel comfortable doing, but I do need your help, if you can...

Amazing, so fucking talented band and all around great guys.... I want to help them, because they deserve it. I believe in them so much. If you can help, if you want, I would totally appreciate it. If you don't want to, no big thing.

I am just looking for some votes for a band that absolutely deserves it.



Final Drive. Lollapaloza08


---Back to working on stuff...

toujours said...

my day was pretty good, ergo, but i'm feeling a bit low tonight, for some reason.

how are you?

and has anyone heard from elena? i badgered her a bit today via text messaging, but she never responded. i'm getting worried.

anima said...

TJ, I left her a message about an hour ago. Haven't heard back. Now I'm worried. :(

ergoproxy said...

no I haven't TJ perhaps she's gotten busy today
Have there been storms there again?


I voted for them anima, I trust if you like them they must deserve it

Anonymous said...

Close your eyes, my love
Feel my embrace
Never doubt that you are
My treasure
My happiest surprise
My strongest hero

My everything

When others slice you open
With their words
Their actions
Know that they have no power
Over you
They do not –
Cannot –
Love you

But I do

Everything you are
All that you do
Is love

Anonymous said...

I felt your touch, as gentle as an
Ocean breeze,
Against my cheek late
Last night.
The tips of your fingers traced
A path along
My skin,
Down to my throat,
Where they danced to
The beat of my pulse.
One lone finger found its way
To my lips,
Light as a teardrop,
Sweet as a kiss.

Then the sun’s rays brought me to wakefulness
And I realized
I could feel the teardrops, because
I could not feel the kiss.

ergoproxy said...

hello "you"

nice sentiments


Tj has she another phone no?
I know my mobile phone has died :(
(I need to get a new one, and luckily my contract is up so it's no drama)

so if anyone tries to call me I can't get the messages

toujours said...

i hope she's just busy. she was feeling down this morning.

hello "you", i saw your comment earlier (i peeked in at the ned of the day from work). why is it that every time we have an interestingly mysterious poster of poems/songs, etc., we also get someone claiming to be their "special someone"?

can't we just have the mysterious posts for once?

*feeling peevish*

toujours said...

*reluctant sigh*

not that i don't like what you've posted,"you". they're beautiful, and sad.

especially the last part of that second one, about the tears.




*feeling lonely*

It's nice, but no blood. That is why no kiss was felt. No? It was a lifeless, bloodless one

toujours said...

ergo, she does have another phone -- i just haven't thought about calling it. i don't even know if i have it, actually.

it's probably nothing -- but i worry that maybe there's a bad storm, or that something has happened with her kids, or her mom, or her husband, or her...

she doesn't usually not respond to my texts...








hey, ergo, when you get a new cell phone, i wonder if i could call you? i don't know how they work that much...can i text australia?

Anonymous said...

Oh, Ergo! I was a Pirate Master fan (and was uber pissed when it got cancelled and I had to watch it on the computer) so I was summarily impressed by your famous relatives!

anima said...

Ergo, thank you so much! They do deserve it. I promise.

I bet Elena has been busy and with the storms...I hope she is okay. I got a message from her last night, but haven't talked to her today. Hoping everything is okay.

Kapunua, from way earlier, I do have a strange 'unmarried name'. I got made fun of a lot growing up. I will tell you mine in secret. ;) Your family name is so classic. I want to hear more!

Okay, I should go...yet again...

Thanks you guys...I'm sure the band won't get the votes they deserve...listening to the top voted, it's okay...and kind of the same. Lallapalooza from what I remember was revolutionary in ways...even more on the side stages...I'm not impressed by those that are succeeding. Oh well.

Thank you Ergo! Much love.

Nite once again everyone! ♥

anima said...

Kapunua, you are sweet for what you said about me. I forgot to say that earlier. ♥ You too babe.

goodnight and sweet dreams anima


thanks anon, they are a distant branch, my great great (great?) grandfather was a Daddo, so I have never met them or anything, but it's still cool :)
A second cousin played cricket for Australia too

TJ you can try I don't know about texting, if I send you my current no, send a text and I'll try turning it on in a couple of hours
(it turns on and works for a few minutes then the screen freezes ad it turns itself off (and even Motorola don't know why! lol)

ergoproxy said...

emailed you to the other one,TJ not gmail

ergoproxy said...

sorry BC I had a phone call

HI!

toujours said...

ok, let me check!

and hi there bc. :)

toujours said...

aw, shoot, ergo. i sent you a text and it got bumped back to me as an invalid number. :(

that would've been cool.

Anonymous said...

Hi Ergo, TJ.

That's okay Ergo, I was checking out some sites anyways. Hello anons

ergoproxy said...

damn TJ

when I change phones I'll ask them, perhaps you need a country code or something first

ergoproxy said...

TJ I found this:

Hi and welcome to whirlpool.

If they are taking there Aurstralian mobile over there you just sms as normal...


if they have an american mobile you will need to put that number in ie: 0242555824 is the usa mobile you would sms +1242555824 (to get the + it is usually if you press and hold the 0 key or the * key)

if they want to sms you they will always need to do this eg your mobile 0400123123 from the usa it will be +61400123123

this also goes when you want to do a voice call... except you put 0011 from here in Aust to USA... unless your calling an australian mobile (you call it normally)

i hope this helps

ergoproxy said...

damn I bolded the wrong bit

I think you need to put +6 in front and get rid of the first 0

toujours said...

all those numbers, ergo? your number plus some? whew.

Also, I have ringworm.

you're confusing me, ergo. but i'll try again.

just, don't text me back in a couple of hours, okay? i'll be asleep, and i keep the phone by my bed (it's my alarm clock, too). you'll wake me up!

HAHAHAHA!

Right, nice way to start off a new page, self. :P

Amyranth said...

Actually, I do have ring worm. A small one on my foot.

Apparently, even if you wear all sorts of protective gear when you're treating sick animals, it still clings to your clothes and attacks you when you least expect it.

2 weeks and one tube of $15 creme later.. :P
