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  All we see in our barn yard mentality
We don't touch anything. If our atoms touched another atom, it would be castrophic.
Matter is a byproduct of Energy...I believe this is all a show for us.
Life is hard to explain. I've seen it in my mind, and thats where it will stay.
Within all of us, within every cell of our being, is the knowledge of life.
Why we aren't allowed access to it is a mystery to me.
Did you know, that the brain is responsible for most of the construction of our bodies when its forming.
Why doesn't our conscience have access to that knowledge?
:^)

 Jim  I missed having children
I suppose that's some people's view of immortality...to leave distorted genes behind for future generations to copy.
I pondered that thought. The thought that having children could extend your life in some magical way.
However, I don't feel I am anyone but myself.
If I was an incorporation of my relatives, wouldn't I have memories of a their past stored somewhere in my sub conscience.
If so, I don't feel their influences, as far as I am aware of.
I know the universe is young...they say 8 billion years young.
And I know, it may last a trillion times longer than what we see.
So anything is possible. I believe in these possibilities: That we don't die. That we chose to be here for some reason.
It could just be whim. Or is that just a fantasy...a fantasy built within this fantasy.

 Jim  Jack and the Bean Stalk
We were talking about Revelations in the Bible. I mentioned how if you substitute nouns with other nouns, you could make any verse seem like any prediction. These are the tactics of con men. IE-Your preacher.
EG: Jack was the US. The Giant was Russia. The Beans were nuclear weapons. The stalk was communication.
SEE...it it all makes sense now.
He (the US) used the stalk (communcation), advertised the beans (nuclear weapons) and stopped the evil giant (Russia).
yayada...my point is...if you substitute words from an old prediction, you can make them match anything.
It's poetic bullshit.
My advice is, you follow your heart. You are a product of god, not vice versa. You were natures creation. Live with that.
We are neither supreme, or all encompasing.
We, our species is a step to some kind of perfect being...but, unfortunatly, its not us.
It would be great if we simply survive as a species and leave something behind, and not destroy the planet for the next million years.  Life always finds a way. If it isn't on this planet, it will be on another.
I'd rather life survives here.

 Jim  I suppose, if I were a trust fund baby
I'd fight for causes
In the end, I'd drain the trust fund, and end up having my picture on TV for dying causes.
The greenhouse effect, people starving in Africa, missing children...that kind of thing.
These things are going to happen, no matter how much money you throw at them.
Human nature is just like that of any creature on this planet.
Including the 30 trillion cells that make you...you.
They all want to survive. They all have the desire to influence your behaviour.
There's obviously a group of cells in your brain that constitute your soul
Don't you think? All of the neurons report to that group...and they you are, forever changing..with every experience.
I know that is true for myself. I'm not the man I used to be. I'm always changing.
There's a deep message here if you read this and think about it.
I'm saying today...you are you.
Tommorrow, you are a different person.
It all makes you wonder what you've ever stood for, doesn't it. Your solid beliefs are different than what you they were 10 years ago. You've changed.
So, in that vision of Heaven you have, you should include how old you were.

 Jim   *PRIVATE* Sexual Deviance
We were talking about deviant behavior this morning.
It seems to me that deviant behavior happens with the most normal, fit-in kind of people.
I've slept with a lot of women. This is, after all, Las Vegas.
But I've noticed the most deviant behavior comes from the most seemingly innocent kind of girls.
The innocent have slept with animals, the animals (girls) have slept with few people.
If that ain't a paradox, I don't know what is.
Why is it, when we hop in bed with a stranger, we become multi-personalitied?
Is it an underlying force that motivates us? Is this motivation a self-destructive force? hmmm.
Me, I'm just me. I've slept with a lot of people and I don't hide it.
But, I've noticed with others, particularly those innocent housewives, they show a side of themselves that they hide from their spouses. In a sense, they've ripped off their husbands. They show strangers how satisfying they can be.
Its just a curious behavior that I've noticed in this town.

 Jim  Today was a passive day
I just watched TV in the bedroom and on the big screen.
Living a life of leasure is just too easy. Everything becomes simple when you're not struggling.
I like it alot! It may not compare with other people's lives...but its very satisfying.
I didn't rent the condo out. I didn't read all the stuff I should have read. I didn't call anyone. I got self absorbed.
Forgive me lord for saying this, I enjoyed squandering my life today. It is addictive.
I've found I don't always have a purpose and its heaven to me when I don't.
When I die, I hope things will be like this (having purpose, then having none).

 Jim  We went to Monte Lago Village and saw Jazz
We also bought tickets to the Monday night show with America/Chris Cross. Saved a bunch.
Monte Lago Village had:
An outdoor Jazz Festival by the lake (bring your own blanket and cooler). They do it every Friday night.
The Checkmates were playing inside. It was great to see a bunch of grey hairs line dancing to Barry White music.
Two other bands, one at an Irish Pub, the other next to the Ritz Hotel.
Robert called me to tell me about a fire on the northern mountains.
I was surprised, because I'd already noticed it. Matter of fact, I took pictures of it.

 Jim  The man with the healing eyes - from dad.
July 2005 IssueRollie 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.

 Jim  Bought a camera - Olympus Stylus 710
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.
Tue

 Jim  Bought an Olympus Stylus 710 today
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.

 Jim  Nevada Power is coming out to calibrate my meter
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.

 Jim  Talked to Beckys people today.
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.

 Jim  If God is both white and black, then we are gray
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.

 Jim  Cleared out a truck load of cactus from the condo.
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.

 Jim  GMornin. Thanks for all your help!
Hehe...I liked what Renee keeps putting into myspace...
Glitter Graphics,  Myspace Codes,  Myspace Layouts,  Myspace Glitter,  Myspace Graphics,  Dress Up Games,  Cartoon Dolls from Dolliecrave.com
Hey...we can do that too!!! Yeehaaaa.
Fri

 Jim  So, what are we doing?
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.

 Jim  Put up an 8x6 foot shed
It took about 3 hours all-in-all, from chosing, purchasing, transport and construction.
It looks like a decent unit for $500.
