Home of Extraneous Stuff
Well, I figure I have a short biography (self written) on Jim Morrison, a poem about my ex, and a list of my favorite movies. Hows that for meaningful, enjoy your rummaging through my drawer.

A depressing little bit...
Oh what a tenuous hold on life we hold, on sanity, on control. But the smallest weight could throw our balance awry and send us from the tightrope to the hard ground below.
There is no sure thing for me, for anyone, no safety from the terribly storm. Thus, we must stand outside dodging the raindrops and pretending that they do not hurt. We must pretend that we care, or pretend in our apathy.
We put on shields and masks to fool the world.
We fool ourselves, of course.
And everyone else finds us to be a joke, nothing more, nothing less.
We find that we are found to be funnymen, important but replaceable.
What sort of life is this then? Why is human nature so ironic in its cruelty?
Everywhere is WE, because to each his own is his own alone. We come into this world isolated and crying, we can hope to leave it in solitary dignity and nothing more.
There is nothing great to do, and it hurts that life is just so. But it is always a comfort to know that there is no room to grow.
I am a fool for all that I have said, for every profound exclamation of my own unimportance or inadequacy. For every time I have said that I am nothing I have twice thought myself a king amongst men. And for everytime I have done this, I have ten times thought myself worthy of my own dementia. |

Bullet fired from 6.5 mm Italian rifle used as evidence was off by three inches at 15 yards, at the 100+ range to the Depository, it would have been several feet off of target and because of barrel damage observed by range testers during the Warren Commision, it would have been dangerously inconsistent to boot. The only saving grace is that the bullet might have gone sabot because of the poor rifling and quality of ammunition. This would explain the larger than should have been wounds and the strange path of the bullet if it had been tumbling in the air. The odds of this are between 1 in a million to 1 in Infinity according to Gunnery Srg in charge of checking the gun for admittance.

For the Romantically Minded
A piece I put together recently, not too bad, and it fills the space. |

For the Abnormally Violent
Green Cloud Reflection
Ever shuffling by
while I eat my barley and rye
Ever shuffling by
as I sit here and cry
Green Clouds rising
in a piercing blue sky
Green Clouds rising
coming from murders in My Lai
The Horizon is blurring
in Berlin and Beijing
The Horizon is blurring
and my freedom is in it
I can see a man with a six gun
he is coming for me
He is riding through the green cloud
he is coming for me
Something is breaking through a silk screen
I can hear it, my death is free
Tremendous power within
I can hear it, my death is free
Semi-automatic malaise is liberated
the old men around me call it Milagro
French courage reciprocated
the old men around me call it Milagro
