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. |

I just bought a HP Photosmart Premium Fax C309a series from Best Buy. It was/is on sale for $199, and it is, by far, the best printer I've ever owned. It has: - Two sided scan and print - Flat bed scanning - Sheet fed scanning - Great Photo printing - Faxing - It prints on CDs - SD card slots - A color LCD display with a very simple menu. No more seeing warning lights, and looking up error numbers. I have a Okidata color laser printer, but, any one of its 4 cartridges costs more than $70, and it sort of looks like Okidata might be losing business badly. They used to be the best. |

He was really great, wasn't he? I loved his acting in Road House, and he was fantastic in Dirty Dancing. Now he is a "Ghost", trapped in the past... or is he? If you could recieve a transmission of Dirty Dancing from the constellation Pleiades (if there is still a Pleaides), you would have to wait another 400 years to see Road House for the first time.

We are standing in a doorway. Behind us is the past where we are dust. Ahead is the future where we are ghosts. We can't go backwards or forwards. And it is only here, in this doorway, that consciousness exists - Jimism |

09/07/2009 06:05:09 jim I think I finally understand existance | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
When we die, we die in the present portion of time. Our parts are recycled for the future. Our past remains fixed in the past. The past and the future are as real as the present. We are not set up to understand them. Our state is set to the present. We won't be in this state ever again, and we have no tools to imagine any other state. But one can imagine that 100 years in the future, we will be dead in present time. We are currenty, the real, living, ghosts of the future. I don't feel like a ghost, and I don't feel like a spirit either. And I don't feel dead. But, I am, one hundred years from now. I believe all existance has already been predetermined. Life is like a movie where you don't know what is going to happen next. There is only one path that could have brought us to the present, and there is only path possible into the future. With that said, nothing is random. Our pain and joy, the decisions that we make, and the paths we take, all of these will have had to happen. Our existance in the present is just a short ride. I think it is like a rollar coaster, where we go in the same circle over and over again. It may be that we get to pick different seats each time around. |

Can't wait to get back to Pittsburgh, my home away from home. So, if working in Pittsburgh is like a dream, then this weekend was like a dream within a dream. We didn't make it to Ocean City, NJ or Atlantic City, like I'd hoped. The traffic was too thick, but we did see some of Delaware. |
