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. |

06/16/2006 12:44:28 Jim The man with the healing eyes - from dad. | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
Rollie Hillesland. Call 1-701-306-2525, pay him $500, and he'll heal all your ailments. He bumped his head in an accident. Now he can cure people. Thats funny, cause I usually have to resort to hitting something to make it work. Take my TV for instance, well one of my old ones, hitting it usually clears up the picture. Forget about all those confusing knobs and dial thingies. Just hit it! See now...my dog is jumping on my leg barking, wanting to play. I can just hit him, and he'll do the right thing and lie down. But, Rollie can now make body's heal through a frequencies, like the ones used by Royal Raymond Rife (who invented the worlds most powerful microscope, the univeral microscope, in 1932, and could heal things with light frequencies). But lets talk about this Royal Raymond Rife guy and his amazing cure all machine. It was supposed to cure ALL ailments, cancer included. However, the American Medical Association came in, destroyed the machine and all of his notes, cuz they are SO STUPID. They didn't, like, aim it at themselves before axing it to pieces, cuz they are SO STUPID. They didn't save it. They didn't copy his notes. Nope, those guys want to die painful deaths, knowing they destroyed the cure for their sicknesses. That's because they, not the story about Rife, are SO STUPID. The world is a very mystical place to some people, I guess. I'm amazed at the beautiful simplicity of this universe and I often wonder why other people don't see what I see. Shucks, I'm still awestruck by a blade of grass. I wonder why people think the pyramids were built by UFO's. |

06/09/2006 23:10:12 Jim Great lightning show! | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
Did you like that last night babe? I really enjoyed it. I love that ozony air smell. |
06/09/2006 00:08:24 Jim Roberts DMV test | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
Going to the Class A |
06/08/2006 18:21:35 Jim Bought a camera - Olympus Stylus 710 | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
Nice little camera. I don't know much about it yet, but it takes great indoor shots without a flash. It also does stitching, but, I need a web reader to display it decently. Also bought Underworld Evolution. It was pretty good. |
06/06/2006 19:11:53 Jim Bought an Olympus Stylus 710 today | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
Its a very nice little camera with a great price. I like it's low light sensitivity. Also, picked up Underworld-Evolution. It was good. The plot seemed kind of thin, but there was lots of action. Nevada Power never showed up. |
06/06/2006 12:10:09 Jim Nevada Power is coming out to calibrate my meter | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
I called 367-5555x1x6 on 5/19/2006 to arrange for this. They'll look at the meter, and if there it is miscalibrated, then they'll take it in for recalibration. |
06/05/2006 20:33:10 Jim Talked to Beckys people today. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
Renee Talked for a minute, but she had to cook dinner. When she came back on later, she said she ran out of things to say. Dustin Said he liked the San Diego Zoo. He liked the Gorilla a lot, but he got his ball stuck under a rock. Jennifer She's doing GREAT in school. Guess thats why she's being pulled out for home school. GMa She's curious about how we're doing, but still has never asked for our address. I don't think any of them have. |
06/04/2006 03:03:32 Jim If God is both white and black, then we are gray | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
If love is good and hate is bad, then neither is worse. I am living and I cast shadows. I am life. I create fire Lay me down for my last day and end it, but today, I will make light or I will cast a shadow. I will move matter, I will make a small ripple in a pond as big as the sun and it will make a difference. Life is kill or be killed. Eat death, or die. The rules are simple. What kind of god is this? To watch our lives with joy. To gain entainment from suffering. To be like us. From birth to slaughter, god is the inventor. By design we are all doomed. We think a chicken is just an animal that doesn't complain in English of its suffering. So it doesn't suffer. What is it, when a man circles the world to kill who he finds? Riches offer another man's time for selfish pleasure. The rich wrap themselves in a cocoon and think think they are better. Pleasures don't last. Memories don't last. Nothing but the rules, by design, lasts. The end, is always the beginning of something. We have never seen a true circle. A circle has no beginning or end. Yet all we've seen ends. If a person sees Jesus, they are saved. If they see Hitler, they are insane, if they see the sun, they go blind. Science obeys god's rules, and his rules are cause and effect. Everything else is a myth. Stupid Bible Stories We've all seen rivers part by a man holding a stick. We've all seen damns part the river, because we built them. We's all seen someone walking across the waters. We've all seen ice skaters. |
06/04/2006 03:01:39 Jim Cleared out a truck load of cactus from the condo. | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
It was nasty work, partly because I decided to use the rotten fencing from back yard to cover the truck bed with. My asthma is almost back. I've been doing some terrible things to provoke it. Silly me. |
06/03/2006 07:42:16 Jim GMornin. Thanks for all your help! | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Hehe...I liked what Renee keeps putting into myspace... Hey...we can do that too!!! Yeehaaaa. |
06/02/2006 18:39:18 Jim So, what are we doing? | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
What was that master plan again? The idea was to create fall back, for you, me and Sonny. Now, Sonny already had it made, living in the condo for free. On the other hand, we didn't. So, I got Sonny to move in here, while we fixed up the condo for rent. The idea being, the condo pays for the house. |
05/30/2006 20:17:04 Jim Put up an 8x6 foot shed | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
It took about 3 hours all-in-all, from chosing, purchasing, transport and construction. It looks like a decent unit for $500. |
05/30/2006 00:45:06 Jim Ate at the HaufBrowHause | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
It was okay German food. Pricey. Located on Harmon and Paradise. Robert and Joy came over. JC, Roberts friend that lived two apartments down died. He had sleep apnea and was taking Vicadone for his back. We went to the condo. Robert said he thought it would rent between $800 and $1,000. |
05/29/2006 10:12:31 Jim Memorial Day | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
So far, still drained. Hoping my body will perk up. Got hot shits and drowsiness. |
05/29/2006 10:08:22 Jim Yesterday was a dead day. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
We accomplished nothing. Becky slept until 2pm. lol I felt tired all day. Something about the trip drained me. |
05/29/2006 00:00:00 Jim Memorial Day | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
BBQ! |
05/27/2006 22:58:39 Jim For those who lost their childhood sweetheart. | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Apples peaches pumpkin pie. Who's afraid to holler I? That's a game we used to play. Hide and seek was its name. READY OR NOT, HERE I COME. Oh that game was so much fun! I always used to find your hiding place. My how times have really changed. You found a place where I can't go. Now my love you'll never know. Just how much that you meant to me. You've found a place where I can't be. Her name was Laura. And we used to ride her pony and she would laugh and smile a lot. One day, while riding, the saddle came loose, we both bounced off. When I went to help her, she was on the ground laughing so hard. The saddle was hanging upside down on the pony. Anyway, that Kentucky winter was cold and cloudy. I lost Laura. But I'll always remember those times, holding her hand and riding that pony. Ready or not, here I come. Now no one knows where you have gone. Time has passed, I'm old and gray. But I remember to this day. Ready or not. Here I come. Girl that game was so much fun. |
05/25/2006 19:56:10 Jim Another interesting day at the condo | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
I was going to hang one of the bedroom doors when... I discovered who ever took them down, took the screws someplace else. I was enraged. So, after going to the store, and finding out the new screws I bought for $5 were wrong, we went back to the store. I hung the door. THEN, when wanting to hang the other door, I discovered whoever, took the hinges....WHY!!! Anyway, thats another run to the store. Then I went to fix the kitchen sink. It had a hose on it, 5' long, corked with a broom handle, inserted where you'd put a dishwasher connection. This place has had some very strange things done to it. I removed the hose and filled the connection. I also hung a shelf, part of which was in the garage, the other part in a bedroom. We've lost a lot of time due to needless stupidity. I also discovered we need to paint the air intake register. It has written on the outside, the size of the filter. Phew!!!! |
05/24/2006 23:20:30 Jim Robert and Joy came over | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Robert needed me to use my credit card to get his phone turned on. |
05/24/2006 23:18:24 Jim Sonnys car...according to the Sinclair station | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Has everything wrong with it. Nevermind, they just replaced the fuel pump and what was running right, now wasn't. Now they say he needs new O2 sensors, spark plugs, and injectors. But it ran fine before they replaced the fuel pump. It just didn't start. They're fucking with his wallet. |

05/23/2006 23:15:12 Jim Bought a cell phone | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
I thought I'd lost my phone. We looked everywhere twice. Anyway, I ended up buying a new one, with now contract. The one I thought I'd lost was selling retail for less than what I paid with a contract. In other words, you always get screwed somehow with the cell phone people. We searched the stores for a door 29 3/4" bye 79". Nothing. We'd have to special order one. All the doors at my house are that size, so they must have changed the Standards again. |
05/22/2006 20:36:42 Jim Hung the front door at the condo today. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
I had bought the wrong door, and had to return the thing. We also got a viewport for the door. It all looks GREAT! Hauled off the old door and the old garage door openner. I bought the wrong size bedroom door though. Dangit!!! Meanwhile, Sonny almost completed the kitchen sink. |
05/20/2006 20:39:10 Jim Hung the garage door openner. | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
It was HOT inside that garage, and the project took about 7 hours. We got my tire replaced from me popping it on a median the night before. While it was getting replaced, we went to the atrium at Sam's Town. Its great!!! And the margaritas were great too! Meanwhile, Sonny got his fuel pump replaced. |
05/19/2006 12:09:25 Jim Called Nevada Power @ 367-5555 x 1 x 6 | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
They're coming out on June 6th to calibrate my meter. |
05/19/2006 00:15:18 Jim Hey ROBERT!!! | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
Its great to have my health back. We hung 2 closets, installed a vanity sink, hauled two loads of trash, and moved our bed, that HUGE bed from one wall to another! HEALTH IS COOL!!! Man, and not only just four days ago, I thought I was dying or something. Hey, three months ago, you thought you were dying. Wow! Things change fast, don't they pal. Once again, thanks for going out of your way to pay me back those $. I never forget things like that. |
05/18/2006 19:24:58 Jim Condomese | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
That is Condo-mese: Language of the Condo...haha. Sonny lost his car keys And he didn't have a spare SO...that threw a wrench in things. However, he did put in an outlet box in the garage. Becky and I: - hooked up the lavoratory's sink, (1 hour) - hung two closet doors, (1 hour) - hung the sliding glass door blinds. (1 hour) - Hauled two loads to the dumpster. Not bad for a day's worth of work. All thats left now is the: - Garage door opener. (2 hours) - Replacing the kitchen sink (2 hours) - Replacing the front door. (4 hours) - Replacing the sliding glass door locks with keyed entry. (4 hours) - Sanding and painting. (1 day) |
05/18/2006 01:12:48 Jim .dumb labels lol | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
On a bottle of 100% pure water, Orange flavored. If that's true, then couldn't 7-Up 100% pure water, Carbonated with Sugar flavoring. Couldn't 100% pure orange juice be called 100% pure water, with orange participates added... LOL. |
05/17/2006 13:55:08 Jim Talked to Dad today | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
He was like I thought he would be. He likes to put others down. I guess we all do. He was all worried that I am going to end up broke. My questions are: - Why do I want to get rich? - Does wealth help comfort anyone in their declining years? - Dave's life support cost $8,000 a day to keep him alive for a month while in a coma. Did he enjoy that before he died.? I can't explain to him that I'd rather die all used up and broke, than to die rich and healthy. But explaining to him my views on investments and life are waisted. He's old. I wish he would spend his what is left of his thinking power on where he's headed next. I tried to tell him how stock price to earnings can be manipulated. I believe price to earnings can be manipulated by corporations, simply by invested or liquidating holdings in a dummy corporation. If they can be, then that number is useless as a guauge to determining a stocks viability. He said he knew all about that. But he said you could get rich in a couple of years by analysing price to earnings. In other words, he is just not listening. So, what can I do? I wish I could get it through to him that the point of life isn't to win, it is to exist. Everything we do makes a difference. There is no way to tell what the consequences of our actions are going to be. For example: If we fed all of the overpopulated countries in Africa, we would end up having to kill them. They are overpopulated because they are way out of control. If we fed them, they will multiply and more will starve. |
