Seasons Greetings

Fact - Santa Claus didn’t come down the chimney, ride flying reindeer, have magical powers, or say ho ho ho or dole out coal …. He was a catholic priest who inherited a small fortune from his parents he gave the fortune away to poor children by putting A gold coin in there shoes (which were left by the front door each night) the ledged comes from the fact that he gave the money anonymously and when he died other good standing people in the community would once a year on the anniversary of Their saviour place coins in poor children’s shoes and say it was the work of saint Nicholas which was translated in to other languages including Dutch where his name became Sinterklaas which then got translated in to the English Santa Claus his feast day is the 5th of December and his relics were translated on may 9th he is the patron saint of sailors merchants pawnbrokers archer children students in Greece Belgium Romania Bulgaria Georgia Russia the republic of Macedonia Slovakia Serbia and Montenegro saint of Barranquilla Bari Amsterdam Beit Jala Siggiewi Liverpool and New York he died December 6th 364 AD in Myra, Lycia

And calling him Santa is the incorrect salutation because the rough translation of Santa is saint so when saying “come on kids lets go visit Santa” your actually saying “ come on kids lets go visit saint”
Also saint Nicholas never judged people as naught or nice he practiced the Christian belief of charity to all (as long as your Christian)

Chanukah on the other hand which is 166 years older than Jesus contains what my people believe to be an actual miracle
The word on the street (and among academic scholars ) is that in 200 BCE Israel was an autonomous kingdom with in the Syrian empire
In 175 BCE Antiochus (anti-ock-us) IV (4) Epiphanes (epifan-ees) ascended to the throne of the Syrian empire he looted the temple in Jerusalem and the Jews were massacred and Judaism was almost outlawed
Then in 167 BCE Antiochus ordered that alters of Zeus be made in all the temples through out Judea (Israel) along with busts of himself and that Hellenistic practices take place in the temples (sacrificing goats pigs and sheep to Greek gods)
It was at this time that a rabbi named Mattathias and his five sons Jochanan Simeon Eleazar Jonathan and Judah led a rebellion
By 166 BCE Mattathias had died and his son Judah took his place as leader of the rebellion he was known as Judah Maccabee (Judah the hammer)
In 165 BCE the Jews had won and the temple was liberated and rededicated Chanukah or Hunnaka was instituted by Judah to celebrate this only then did a “miracle” occur
When the temple was rededicated they had to relight the eternal lamp (a symbol of gods eternal presence) which had burnt out during the rebellion
They only had enough oil for the lamp for one day then when lit the lamp burnt for eight days while they made more oil

If you ask me this is one of the more believable miracles that has happened notice how it’s believable there is no defying the laws of physics (walking on water) reanimation of the dead (Lazarus) or shooting laser beams from the eyes (I’m joking)

THE BALLAD OF

HART GRAVES

PART ONE

THE HEAT

AND THE HEART

Chapter one

Hart stood in a field of wheat. Wheat which was pale yellow white and bright and almost an element of air and warmed by the sun which was not distant and yellow it was close and was orange and red it was glowed in the sky not shining and warmed the wheat and Hart. Hart took a deep breath and looked off in the distance along the horizon where the wheat kept going on with no sign of stoping till it vanished from sight into a petrol fuel haze of heat it was a severe heat that pressed all around him hugging him licking at his flesh making beads of sweat form on his fore head and on his neck he could feel the drops of warm sweat roll down his back and get lost in to the fabric of his shirt

there was no breeze of which to speak that could have cool him no wind to move his hair at all it was still there in the wheat there was no movement at all in the air the wheat was still each and every stalk stood motionlessly waiting. Hart held out his hands and brushed the top of the wheat his fingers danced over the wheat and the small bristles tickled his palms it was relaxing and he breathed deep and with every deep breathe he took hot air filled his lungs and relaxed him a tiny bit more

It was quiet in the wheat the only sound he could hear was the humming noise that heat makes and the distant ticking over of a sprinkler, which was not insight

It was beautiful where Hart stood the sky was shades of orange pink and red as the fiery sun sank slowly over a horizon of wheat that seemed so close yet so faraway

Then quite suddenly from across the field of wheat in a place he couldn’t see he herd someone call his name it sounded like an echo in reverse it started softly and got louder he turned to look again but the field that stretched far beyond he could see was empty he heard it again louder this time and more clearly it was a gentle voice and a strong voice then hart felt someone’s hand on his shoulder

Hart sat bolt up right at his desk banging his knees on the underside his school uniform was sticking to his back from the sweat he felt a little groggy and it took him a second to realise where he was he remembered most of the dream he recalled the wheat and the sun and the air and how it was peaceful

Mr Townsend his teacher was crouched in front of him his sparkling blue eyes examining Harts face he looked in to Harts eyes especially hart could tell he was thinking making notes about him but Hart could tell but he could not tell what they were or even if they were good or bad

“I’m leaving now, you have to leave too,” he said his voice was gentle and nice

of all the teachers at his school Mr Townsend was the nicest teacher hart had come across Mr Townsend let his students learn at there own pace instead of forcing them to learn things they weren’t ready for Mr Townsend was a fair man and a kind man and Hart didn’t know one person that thought otherwise

“Its three?” asked Hart “did I fall asleep?”

“At about one thirty I didn’t know my classes were that boring,” said Mr Townsend he had a wide bright smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye

“Sorry sir I had a late night last night and I don’t sleep very well anyways and I had a busy day and it is Friday,” said Hart hoping to explain his behaviour

“If I were angry Hart I would have woken you besides you know everything we covered today” said Mr Townsend he taught English and history and Hart was well schooled in both because he had Mr Townsend for both

It made Harts week a little more bearable to have a cool teacher like that especially on Fridays when Hart had him in lessons right after the first break in the morning for history and right before home time in the afternoon for English

“what time is it?” asked Hart looking out the window the sun was low a large part of it had sunk below the horizon he would have to walk home and that would be no short trip it would be pitch dark before he got there

“Twenty to six” said Mr Townsend checking his watch

Hart let out a long groan then started packing away the things he had gotten out to use during the lesson

“What’s wrong?” asked Mr Townsend as he watched hart hurriedly pack his school bag

“I have to walk home I live out on the far end of Cavendish road” said Hart

“Ouch” said Mr Townsend “I live on Huber street and I thought I lived a long way out If you want I can drop you home”

“That’s ok sir I’ll walk,” said hart

“Are you sure it’s not problem” said Mr Townsend

Hart looked out the window there was no breeze it was still and sticky and he did not relish having to walk home

“Ok but you can just drop me at your house I’ll walk from there I don’t want you to have to go out of your way” said Hart

“suit your self” said Mr Townsend and he pointed at the door there was a cleaning lady waiting she didn’t look impressed Hart got up and walked with mr townsend out of the class room

Mr townsend was tall very tall Hart was only just six foot tall and mr townsend towered over him mr townsend neared six foot six in height and his was solidly built too it was muscle he could have given the P.E teachers a run for there money if he had wanted to he had short cut dark blond hair and he drove a very stylish Lexus that was fully loaded which Hart felt bad about sitting in the seats were suede and he was all sweaty so as he lowered him self in the car he sat with his back arched so only his shoulder blades touched the seat mr townsend folded him self in to the car he seemed entirely to long to fit in to the car but he managed it and looked quite comfortable sitting there

Before he pulled out of the parking lot his pressed a button, the roof folded itself away in the back, and he drove off as they passed out of the gates of the school Mr Townsend turned and look at Hart and smiled

“I’m Archer,” he said and he held out his hand

“Pardon” asked Hart

“We’re not in school now you can call me Archer,” said Mr Townsend/Archer

“Ok” said Hart and he took his hand and shook it

They drove off the heat had driven everyone in doors so the roads were clear it was still a long way and half way there Archer started to talk

“You live such a long way out and you walk home?”

“Its exercise it takes me a good hour and a half to get home”

“Even in the heat?”

“Longer in the heat it’s fine tho” said hart “I guess well I mean my folks are real busy all the time so it’s walking or nothing”

“Oh” said Archer he was thinking hard “are you going to be in very much trouble that you’re this late home?”

“Nah truth be told they won’t notice I’m gone unless I miss Monday morning breakfast”

“Really?”

“Yeah mum and dad have a sort of open door policy my brothers and sisters and I are free to come and go as we please we can also bring people home for as long as there’s no boy/girl sleeping arrangements or boy/boy in my Brother Eden’s case”

“That’s very liberal of them”

“yeah there great” said hart with a sigh as the words came out he realised just how much sarcasm he had heaped in them he smiled and changed the subject

“So you live on Huber Street I thought that was all farms”

“It is all farms I live in one of the farm houses we rent our farm land off to our neighbours”

“Oh wow,” said Hart it was a brilliant idea

“yes I have wheat growing on one side and potatoes, strawberries and corn on the other side its very quiet at my house wheat and corn and potatoes don’t really need a lot of tending too” Archer chuckled “I asked the farmers for quiet crops”

Hart wondered how far he could go what he could ask he couldn’t think of anything to ask that was light and congenial the only questions he could think of were invasive Archer turned his head and smiled at him then looked at the road Hart was usually good at reading people but Archer was a complete mystery an open book written in a language Hart couldn’t read

With in five minuets Mr Townsend pulled the car up out side an old style house it reminded Hart of something iconic something classic but he could not make up his mind as to what

The house was two stories and white, there was a peeling white picket fence, it had a big veranda and all the doors and windows stood open there was funky music coming form the house that made Harts foot tap

the front yard was quite big and made Hart think there would be no back yard it was a thin parcel of land with the side fences only three or four meters from the edge of the veranda

In the front garden there was a large tree with a swing and large brick barbeque facing each other there was an old stump with an axe sticking out of it and gardens beds around the edges of the slightly raised veranda it was a beautiful place and subtly iconic

“Wow” said Hart “very nice house”

“Thanks” said Archer he sat still for a second and looked at Hart “you hungry?”

“I’m seventeen,” said Hart Archer looked at him funnily “I’m always hungry I could eat sheet metal”

“Would you like to stay for dinner?” asked Archer he smiled again

“Umm” Hart paused thinking would it be incredibly uncomfortable to eat at his teacher’s house and what would they talk about Hart looked at Archer whose smile warmer “ok” said Hart not wanting to offend Archer

“I mean as long as your folks are ok with it?” said Archer noticing Harts uneasiness

“it’s fine there fine with it if there worried they’ll call me” said Hart more confidently Archer nodded and got out of the car surprisingly gracefully the house was quite isolated the nearest house was up the street five maybe even six hundred meters the isolation in the middle of the rural suburbia was some how refreshing the other farm houses usually sat in pairs with neighbours across the road this house sat by itself

Farmlands them selves weren’t that unusual for the area they lived in there suburb was a pleasant mix of suburban and rural and all just a hour and an a half train ride from the city Archer walked through the gate and up the path first followed by Hart

“Families home” called a woman’s voice from inside the house as Archer reached the front steps

Updated !!!!

i totally updated my blogger account so i can totally copy and past stuff from my lap top to my blog ... something I’ve wanted to do for a while now


you shouldn't assume that i know what im doing with computers because i have a blog 

things i think

here are a few things i think about life the universe popular culture and fashion

i promise i won't be a downer this post

1. Usb stick memory card do-dads can be a fashionable accessory when worn right
2. a comfortable couch that you can sleep on is very very valuable
3. Jonathan Adler is a genius . . . i can't afford anything he makes but he is a genius
4. spending a night drinking and reading tarot cards is fun
5. finding the perfect combo of incense is important
6. you should never smoke so much pot that you can't get stoned from two joints
7. cool little tchotchkes, empty airplane bottles and funky little things are awesome to have and to look at especially when placed on shelves in front of books or dvd
8. down loading music is tacky unless you can help it buy the hole CD you get the cool insert sleeve and the correct songs
9. making your own art weather it be painting music or writing is so so so important even if its not good (remember your mum will like any thing you do as long as its not too disturbing)
10. your family is not just the people you're related to
11. there is no such thing as the 'spelling police' ... its ok to make mistakes
12. you should fall in love ever opportunity you get
13. not having pictures and things on your walls denotes a lack of courage, inspiration and imagination (and i don't mean family photos i mean movie posters and maps and inspiring pictures, lists, old scratched CD(that catch light and are kind sweet) )
14. buy random things from Ebay they should be things you've allway wanted or think are cool
15. cool rings (for your fingers) are cool
16. every one should keep a scrap book of cool and inspiring pictures
17. post-it notes are so handy especially when combined with a mirror theres nothing better than fixing your hair and being able to jot down an important thought
18. never buy shampoo or conditioner that smells to strongly cos you can give your self a headache
19. classic movies are classic for a reason don't be so dense as to think that just because its in black and white or 90% of the actors in the movie died of old age the movie isn't good
20. create your own style of dress because no one wants to see thirty guys wearing the same exact clothes (also fluro clothing is ugly)
21. be a lone wolf instead of a sheep
22. don't believe in anything that can't be seen unless it's at least 5 thousand years old
23. anime is cool people who say it isn't have other A: never seen it B: have preconceived misconceptions or C: are douche bags
24. your sexual preference has nothing to do with your fashion sense or style
25. once upon a time people dressed up to go to the cinema its a shame to see people go super casually (i personally all ways dress a little up)
26. sex is fun don't wait to do it but when you do do it do it safely
27. don't just read what every one else is reading this makes for boring conversation read something none of your friends have read before (and just because you read all the twilight books dose not make you a Rhodes scholar of literature )
28. don't let your friends decide what your favourite things are
29. listen to as many different types of music as you can you can find something you like in every genre
30. don't be afriaid
31. a friend once said she wouldn't watch a tv show because too many people watch it .... that's silly and stupid don't do that
32. being a movie buff means you watch and own movies of all genres if you refuse to watch certain movies then your NOT a movie buff/ movie aficionado or movie critic you are a movie watcher
33. not playing or watching sports is just fine (you don't have to exercise just because everyone else dose the gym is a cult)
34. just because you've been to university and you have a degree doesn't mean you can gloat (gloating and lauding your degree over others makes you seem petty and like a loser and it will cost you friends and loved ones)
35. feminism is about equal rights not men bashing (women who claim that women are better than men are do more harm than good )
36. religion is a private and personal thing don't try to convert others imagine how you would feel if someone tried to convert you (and don't try to convert people if you don't know about there religion or enough about your own)
37. Shakespeare retellings are a great way for new audiences to see great work (this goes for any classic retelling)
38. signing a petition will take 2 minuets out of your life and might help someone in need its the least you can do
39. don't be scared of who you are ('what you are is defined entirely by who you are' by Tony Kushner - paraphrased)
40. write a blog (and read other peoples)

these are my opinions and are subject to change by me alone they are right in my view and you can do a thing about it

my theory of time travel

the story book theory

The story book theory works on the premise that the time traveller becomes all knowing of his own lives events in the past

As he changes the events of the past as he knew them and time changes he retains the original memory of how events occur as well as the new memories allowing him to stay a head of the time flux

He would be partially excluded from the time flux because he isn't in his present to be changed but still is affected because he now lived differently allowing him to know a possible future that once was the actual future

Eg john stole his cousins girl friend and they eventually married which led the cousins to never be friends and they grew in to adults who hate each other john goes back in time and stops him self from stealing the girl friend he would retain the memory of hating his cousin and marrying the girlfriend but also the memory or growing up as best friends with his cousin and marrying a different woman both futures are correct in his mind

He has gained ultimate knowledge up to the point where he went back in time he is able to know all the events that happened in both times

The grandfather paradox is solved with my supplemental theory called the uncle theory

If john goes back in time and kills his grandfather he creates partially voids his own existence how ever he is proven to exist thus a secondary figure becomes his grandfather for example johns grandfathers brother this man then becomes johns grandfather in this johns physiology and even his name may change how ever this slightly altered person "James" retains all the knowledge of his dead grandfather and the new knowledge of his grandfathers brother being his grandfather

lets talk about Vampires

My life is currently hijacked by vampires and a waitress by the name of sookie stackhouse Charlane Harris has me by the balls and she’s not letting go by that I mean the southern vampire mysteries (which was made in to the tv show True blood) I’m loving them although be warned of two things 1 the books are Very different to the show and 2 the books are like heroin read on and your hooked
What I’m about to say next will cause me to cop a lot of flak there better than the twilight series … a lot better
Let my put it another way twilight is romantic drivel that goes on and on … and on there vampires and werewolves and telepaths in twilight but there all so angst and love Lorne and (I’m now fearing for my life) but Edward is a bit of a chauvinist and he’s kind of rude and Jacob comes across as a bit of a hick (and sort of paedophilic)
Where as the southern vampire mysteries the vampires hold more true to legends for the most part there more action there’s more sex the characters are better and more believable and every one speaks in a southern accent seriously as you read the words you hear the drawl in there voices
There not very long books but then again there aren’t pages and pages about how one of the characters skin sparkles or about how the characters feel yes the southern vampire mysteries touch on those things but it’s more like “Sookie felt sad” period not eight pages about how she felt sad and what it could be compared to and what it might be like to feel sad in the future
I read twilight and I liked it but the southern vampire mysteries are better
There are lots of little nagging things wrong with twilight that aren’t in southern vamps the diversity issue for starters there are full on hard core differences in the people there are straight gay lesbian bisexual and pansexual there are Asians Africans African-Americans Caucasians native Americans Scandinavians the works in the southern vamps
In twilight there are some native Americans and an Asian kid that’s it.
There’s sex and drugs and rock and roll there’s dating and guns and fist fights in the southern vamps In twilight there’s a day at the beach a baseball game and a trip to Italy
There are telepaths and vampires and shape shifters and were wolfs and a maenad and fairies and witches and Elvis in the southern vampires
In twilight there’s shape changers in to wolf (which isn‘t technically being a werewolf WTF) and vampires
The twilight books are just very limited
And even though the book is different to the screen in both cases true blood with it’s independent story line from the books is still super interesting
Twilight annoyed the shit out of me with it’s book trimming for god sake they cut out funny cool moments and left Bella moping it was two hours of moping a car chase and a very short fight that’s it.
True blood is all sexy and cool and there are levels too it some people just like cos it’s got a chest blond in it and numerous boob shots others watch it for the myths and others still for the hot guys and yet still others for the politics of it
I watch it cos it’s funny and cool and it’s not insulting like twilight
In closing do your selves a favour go out right now and buy the southern vampire mysteries novels you will not be disappointed I promise

Art and the act of censorship

i just got a note saying my picture iLust needs a mature content warning and too right its a naked woman with an iPod for a vagina they (deviantART) changed it for me and they have every right too
but when i was changing iLust nano another piece of art which is an actual closer up of the vagina/iPod i noticed that one of the maturity warnings is nudity .... i can under stand the other warnings sexual themes violence strong language but nudity? really? this is an art web site life modelling and modelling nude have gone hand in hand with art since cave men drew on walls
i just wondered why that’s so why nudity in art is censurable ?
i don't seem to be able to understand why the naked body is so offensive I can see how bad language violence and some and I repeat some acts of sex (rape child molestation etc ) can be offensive on the most part the human body is a beautiful machine
If I felt more beautiful about myself I would wear less clothes and share my beauty as much as I could with out being vein and by that I mean I would donate my time to a art class or something I wouldn’t just walk around top less striking a pose
Arts censorship is something that really gets me hot under the collar I can’t stand to see art censored because art is a pure form expression and how can expression be bad?

The problems with superman

Is it just me or did any one else ever want superman to just die?
I don’t want to sound super villain-ish but the amount of times he was exposed to deadly doses of kryptonite he should be dead
Another thing that always up set me about superman is the massive inconsistence with his powers one time he’s barely able to lift a school bus then another time he has no problems lifting several nuclear missiles and throwing them in to space
Lets do some math
One school bus + a load of eleven year olds = 11 to 14 tons
The average weight of a nuclear missile = 500 lbs X lets say five missiles from each of the first world countries so that’s 5 X 23 + lets say 20 from those countries able to produce nuclear weapons (5X23+20) X 500 = 67 500 lbs
So that’s 67.5 tons verses 14 tons
Dose any one see a hole in superman’s abilities ?? I know I do you don’t even want to get me started on his other abilities
He has too many powers to be taken seriously and what seems to be endless amounts of power vast vats of strength and stamina and were to believe that he gets it all from the sun ? the only good thing I can say about him is that he has a clear quantifiable weakness kryptonite … lets examine that for a second he susceptible to the radiation from eradiated chunks of his home planet that doesn’t quite seem fair dose it ? The flash can be shot in the head batman strangled to death you can club hawk girl in the head stab wonder woman burn the Martian man hunter but what can you do to the man in blue? You can search the earth finding chunks of eradiated krypton and give him a full course of radiation therapy you kill superman by destroying his T cells that’s awesome if superman was real (Yes I know he‘s not real) I would not support him I’d support the other members of the justice league the ones that can be easily killed but not him he could (if superheros were real) take over the planet
No good can come of a super hero with that much power
I am anti superman there you have it readers down in black and white over the inter internet to read I am anti superman
Am I saying he is a bad creation … yes I am a hero who is faultless and pure is not good again I know that sounds villain-ish but superhe

roes like real people need weaknesses
Any kryptonians superman super girl super man krypto the super dog there all the same they all have the same loop holes in there powers there all badly written and there all bad role models

I say that because no role model should be able to do everything no role model should be able to run faster than a speeding bullet leap tall buildings in a single bound or be more powerful than a locomotive
All that says to me is you can’t be this good so don’t even try
You want a role model superhero? You look at bat man you look at the flash you look at the green lantern
Don’t be victim to the cult of superman

my teeth

I was brushing my teeth and was thinking back to all the times I’ve been to the dentist and I thought about what they had said to me about my unusual teeth . . . 　

Notice anything?
I was born with out permanent lateral incisors It’s just another one of those things that are amazing and special about me
It doesn’t effect me negatively in any way in fact most people don’t even notice I’m missing teeth but then there are those observant people who notice and comment and parallel my teeth to that of vampires
But I don’t mind I smile any way

when is racism funny?

I don’t think it ever is…

I was sitting having lunch with an acquaintance today this person had already been quite rude to me I wasn’t sure weather it was because I insisted on having MacDonald’s for lunch because it’s cheap instead of what they wanted me to eat or because I got them up too early either way this person was being a bit of a … well not nice is the most diplomatic way I can put it
Any way this person who granted I don’t know very well and is some one I wouldn’t normal associate with was racist not even covertly but out and out racist
Firstly we were in the line at subway and the oriental young woman who served us had a thick Chinese accent she was speaking slowly and I was able to understand her quite clearly if it had been me I would have smiled and enunciated every word but this person I was with fist mumbled there order then when the young woman asked him to repeat it he turned to me rolled his eyes and spoke to er as if she was dirt then as he was at the drink machine getting his drink (diet coke with cherry fanta in it I almost threw up on his shoes) the girl asked him if he wanted salt and pepper while he was still looking at the drink machine he nodded and said ah-hum the girl then asked him again and he shouted YES SALT AND PEPPER thank g-d I had my aviators on so I could look horrified at him as we left the subway he said that was the painful ordering and paying for subway I’ve ever experienced
I said she was a trainee
He said one who doesn’t speak English which makes the process a lot harder
I remained silent till we went to MacDonald’s and I ordered and got my meal and we sat down in the food court and ate
There was an elderly oriental woman in the food court she was walking and stumbled over a badly laid tile and it was funny it’s always funny to see some one trip and recover and pretend they didn’t trip and to this woman’s credit she not only tripped one but then a second time and recovered I was going to chuckle when this person I was with said
Did you see that that F##king G##k almost fell over
And he laughed quite loudly
Being a Jew I find racism to be unacceptable so at hearing this second bout of racism I did what my sisters and I are most known for I pursed my lips slightly raised my eye brows gave a sarcastic smiled and drank some of my drink
I won’t be speaking to this person again let me assure you

A new bible

let me start this most auspicious of blog entries by saying i can smell almost everything

I have had many bibles in my time on this earth and by bible I don’t mean the religious text of first the jews (of whom I am one) and latter the religious text of the Christians I mean the definition of bible numbers 3 and 5

Bible
Bible [bb'l]
(plural Bibles)
n
1. Christian holy book: the sacred book of the Christian religion
2. Jewish holy book: the Hebrew scriptures, the sacred book of the Jewish religion
3. bibleholy book: the holy book of any religion
4. bible (plural bibles) copy of Bible: a copy or edition of the Bible
5. bible (plural bibles) essential book: a book that is considered an authority on a particular subject

Now my bibles in the past have been not the norm most books read by my peers were … well lets just say they weren’t literary master works

My new bible is Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind Before I start telling you why you should go out right now right this second and buy it and read it (and the movie too) I’ll tell you about my other bibles

There is a list catcher in the rye starts the list I read this book and was captivated by it this kid Holden who’s been expelled from school spend a weekend in New York I thought it was going to suck but I read it and I was like wow I was enthralled by his small adventure and his heart

The next two bible’s that hit me were a plays cat on a hot tin roof I had seen the Liz Taylor and Paul Newman film version and thought I’d give the actual play a go I read it in one sitting as you do with plays and loved it I could almost feel the summer heat coming out of it the other play was angels in America I was captivated again by how moving it was and at the same time how funny Harper and Ethel Rosenberg were my fave characters
(after reading AinA I went to an art show it was of Andy Warhol’s work the picture of the electric chair moved me to actual tears (the picture is taken from a newspaper and the image is of the electric chair used to ‘execute’ Ethel and Julius Rosenberg) which is why I was so moved I came to see her as a friend)

The next bible was an odd one it’s called Schott’s original miscellany it’s a book of lists and unusual facts I love it and reference it all the time

The next bible which I read is apart of a ritual I have is dickens a Christmas carol every year I read it then I watch the Muppets Christmas carol then scrooged and any other version I can find I’m sure it’s the most Christian thing I do all year

I’ve read dozens of books many of which have the potential to be bible like : of human bondage, death in Venice, metro, atonement, Mrs Dalloway, Faust and the list gose on but those books are not as interesting to me they don’t hold me the way the ones above hold me (the books above are just a small sample of the bibles I love)

Now on too perfume: a story of a murderer
Concurrently Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is showing me paris on his nose he was born with an amazing olfactory ability I haven’t finished it but I have seen and own the movie and I’m looking forward too it
I’ll probably write an updadte to this post when I’m done

thinking inward

I was thinking trying to put pen to paper or finger to key and my mind wandered to well I guess a medical waste facility in Melbourne sounds weird? I was thinking about adenoids or to be more specific my adenoids

When I was little I was deaf well I was unable to hear there’s a slight difference in my case my ears worked fine that is to say the unit the ear drum and stuff worked fine it was the other stuff around it that was broken I had to have an adenoidectomy which is basically where they scrape away a piece of flesh from the very top of your throat or technically the very bottom of your sinus where the two meet the adenoid is there to stop bacteria being ingested but some times (in my case) the adenoid works too well and it creates a back log of bacteria that travels up to the middle ear and causes infections


That was me chronic ear infections “glue ear” the internet tells me any way they put grommets in my ears which after looking it up on line is both cool and creepy grommets go in the ear drum to drain fluid puss and blood and to let air into the middle ear



I wasn’t actually sure what a grommet was but I now know it’s a little plastic tube thing I now know what my mum means when she said “Roberts grommets fell out” I used to think grommets were something like ear wax I don’t know why I just did


Any way all those thoughts got me thinking about my medical history I’ve been under the knife only a few times I had my adenoids out and grommets put in I was circumcised I had a wedge resection and a full nail bed removal on my right big toe and that’s really it as far a surgery goes other wise physically I’m healthy as a horse

why windmills?

Why did I choose to name my blog the windmill factory?

Well it all started with the Thomas Crown affair and it theme song windmills of the mind I love that song and from that song I sort of used windmills as a logo for the imagination they became a beacon for new ideas and thought

A windmill is a symbol and symbols are very important to me the windmill is a symbol I will eventually get tattooed on it’s that important to me

I think that it’s important for people to have a symbol like my windmill a symbol that represents there spirit in a away

The windmill isn’t the only symbol I hold too there are others and all of them mean something too me
There’s the star of David because I’m Jewish
There’s the alchemic symbol of phosphorous to give me faith for something brighter
There’s the symbol of Aquarius because I am one
There’s the moon which is a symbol not only of when I’m most active but when I’m most creative

the first crank of the windmill

Hello my names Robert,

And you are reading my blog congrats this is my first post so bear with me

I set up the windmill factory because I have lots of ideas and notions and thoughts bubbling away in my brain and I thought this would be a great way to get rid of a few

I’m in my early 20’s and I find this world to be both terrifying and interesting and in this blog I’m going to share with you my thoughts on ethics, random rants, pomes, pics when I can manage it and anything else I can manage to bring up

I’m going to be talking about my friends and my family but to protect them I’m going to give them super cool nicknames

I’m also going to talk about my personal history and just my general view point

So I really hope you like it

Enjoy
