The Life and Times of Jim |
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog! This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting. |

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does there a sound? For most of my life, I thought that was a stupid question. Of course there is a sound. I didn't realize the depth of that question. My answer now is, "No, it does not make a sound". Without perception, the universe does not exists. Thought, as it turns out, is reality. Dimensions exist within thoughts and without thought, nothing matters. There was no time before the big bang. There was no space. I can see it now. There was nothing. I think it was a thought that created this universe. And when we die, our universe will cease to exist. In a very real sense, this universe exists because we are here. And it just may be, if you wish there is a heaven to go to when you die, that is where you will go, and that may be another illusion. I'd like to hang around. To discover the universe is to discover the dreams of the creator. Perhaps God did create you in his own image. Perhaps you are here to discover the beauty this creation. I got this from a dream. In my dream, the spirit of death wasn't a separate entity. Now that I think about it, I realize it was me. When he told me to come, I told him no. I told him I'd like to stay here. This creation is my heaven, complete with beauty, magnificense, awe, happiness, sorry, horror and delight. Ane even in an eternity wouldn't be enough time to understand all that there is out there. |

I lay down to sleep, and dreamed I that died in my sleep. I was in a city and the angel of death came to me. I didn't like his voice or his personality. He said "You have to come with me". I said, "I think I'm just going to hang out here, and watch the animals, plants, and sky. I won't bother anything". Then he changed the world into fire and said "You must come". I said, "I think the fire is beautiful, I'd like to stay here if that's okay". Then he changed the world to empty space, and said "This will be your eternity" And I said, "This is wonderful, all of those solar systems with planets like ours. Please, I'd like to stay here". And he said, "You Must Come". And I said, "I'm staying here". I remember feeling fear about going with him. He was going to take me to a place that I didn't understand. Then I woke up in my bed with a smile. I love this life. I love my dreams. |

Scary Movies - I gotta see 2012. I love scary movies. I love the previews, with the earthquakes and all. Course, none of that makes sense. I'd think we'd either get a really nasty suntan, run out of breathable air for 10 minutes, or something not nearly as dramatic as bridges and buildings falling down. And that is why I love scary movies. They're aren't possible. Dramas scare me for just the opposite reason Because they are possible. Divorce, unemployment, heart attack, car accident, hunger, disease...those are the real monsters. They're horrifying! I'll take a horror movie any day over a drama. |
