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.

 Jim  Went to Epcot Center
Very mild compared to other mega resorts, but it had its strong points.
Future World seemed outdated, but International World was very nice.
At the parks closing, they gave a spectacular fireworks display.
A 20 foot earth with a TV screen around it floated in the lake.
It showed people singing on it, then it opened up.
It was awesome!!!

 Jim  Insightfullness and Marketting
5.5" x 11" door knob fliers cost 4c each, in lots of 20,000 = $800.
Advertising door-to-door, its possible to hang 330 per hour per person. 660 for 2 people.
20,000 would take 60 hours to hang...or 30 hours for 2 people to hang.

 Jim  Sitting up, late this night.
Thinking about coming back to Vegas. Thinking about all of the favors I've done there. 
One good deed every day can add up to the thousands after years go by.
I'm saddened that I'm not worth a free phone call during the holidays.
Some think this planet might be another planets hell.
This planet is simple and beautiful. People make it hell for each other.
John Lennon couldn't spread the truth with his song (Imagine).
People just keep blowing each other up, stealing, politicing land away from others.
If only people could see, the harm they do others hurts themselves. 
We only think we are individuals. We can't see that we are components of a single life force.

 Jim  Another Christmas has come and gone

I've spent a lot of the day on the phone, feeling like ET phoning home.
ET PHONE HOME...ET phone home.
At any rate, I have no home, and this planet will do just fine. None the less, I'm homeless.

 Jim  About this life --- continued ---
I've used this time to discover this thing called life and I have come to the following conclusion:
If the Earth has existed 11 billion years, and dinosaurs existed 80 million years, and humans have existed 60,000 years, and the average human lives 76 years, and the average smoker lives 70 years, and I have lived 47 years and I smoke, but my best friend quit smoking after living 38 years and died anyway after living 47 years, then tell me what is the point of this sentence.

 Jim  About this life

For a long time, I felt like an ant who has spent his entire life moving the colony's hill over 2 feet.

A bicycle will run over the colony's hill anyway, so what's the point? 
It's nice to leave the colony and see beyond the hill.
Some day, I'm gonna build a bigger hill, with better walls, more queens and more aphids.


Then they'll all see!
Yup.
