infinite apologies
I was too busy adapting to life in space while I should have been busy folding wormholes. I'm supposed to be smarter then to experience weightlessness and think I was free from gravity, now I know I was just orbiting a new, brighter star.

Burning one
I have been at the junction of science and spirit for some time, my bus has yet to come. As a student of relativity, I know a scientific instrument may be true only, as per it's place in space time. This also applies to perspective and reality.
To simplify, a mirror reflects a past moment in time, much like a photograph. It takes time for your image to reach the mirror and time for your ocular system to register the reflection, making the mirror a window to the past... a very near past.
Any obsessive, over-thinker will quickly cut the mirror out of the equation and still find it takes time for the eyes/brain to decode what we see. Then it's only a short hop to substituting sight with all their other senses. Before they know it they realize they are living in the past... and by 'they' I mean, 'I'..
That along with all the other shit on my plate, has me happier then hell and confused as fuck. I enjoy it though.

Seeds
Coffee grinds in the mug remind me of my inability to filter my thoughts in transition from my mind to my mouth. The product, as different as it may be, still shows remnants of the seed. The seed, dry roasted and fragmented, brewed and diluted then run through a fine screen, perhaps not fine enough. They appear there daily, never allowing the bean to escape my acknowledgment.
Yes bean, you've served me well. Your epic descent from the misty mountains was not in vain, nor was your time gathering the potential energy I'm so desperately dependent on. Once I've used up your essence, you will still live on to fertilize future sprouts of organic greens. The dynamics you display are seemingly endless, the effects linger on me for hours. With that said, I thank you bean.
As I rush to the commode, I realize just how long the effects linger. I have a unrelenting urge to defecate and I'm held hostage on the smallest room in the house. The time spent as a P.O.W. leaves me pondering these thoughts I'm now typing. My own seeds of potential energy being poorly processed and filtered, it's come full circle.
My mental spotlight is now pointed at the journey of the plant fibers I wrap around my hand. They once filled the air with oxygen and now their service to mankind has taken a shitty turn.
The same goes for this train(wreck) of thought...
As I look in the mirror while washing, I notice a coffee grind caught betwixt my two front teeth. Thanks again bean.

The con to my own verse
A Lover and a fighter
who makes it rain by crushing spiders
I daydream of nightmares
while they seem to fight theirs
silver clouds with black lining
giver of doubts, of bad timing
torrents of fear pinning it down
a pining for depth escaping in sound
soft voice stuttering
no choice, body shuddering
nerves, it can't be
get's worse, I can't breathe
gone missing and not turning back
no sir, not me, I'll draw a new map
and forge on in confusion
through doors of my delusions
looking for something I have never seen
Perhaps I've passed it, but what does it mean?
there was no forks in the path
no light, no signs, no one to ask
just the sound of a heart pushing blood
pushing harder and faster a vascular flood
cut from the inside, forming it's plot
slow and sluggish hoping it clots
It never does and I never die
I love it more as it's covered in lies
it's that crushed spider
it's that damn rain
I thought I was a fighter
I thought I was sane
I though I had it right
but I'm wrong just the same.

Write, right?
Myself and a few others have my Scorpio's passion pointed at writing a book of rants, ridiculous ideas, theories and short stories. I write all the time, and I tell a mean story, so why not cash in? My girlfriend's brother wrote a book a few years back and published then sold it all through a crazy ass website, that apparently makes tons of money for you. I want my tons...
I hate to be a braggart but I'm very intelligent. I won't disgust you with my IQ cause you probably have an overwhelming amount of debt due to a college education, and I never finished eleventh grade. Slacking due to a lack of stimulation and interest. I never fit the atmosphere, the method or the curriculum though I never stopped my quest for knowledge. I continued to absorb(spell check Ami) input from all of my senses, it was like I had destroyed the formal learning format within myself and became a magnet for information. In this opened flow of information came a tuned intuition and an ability to simply understand, understand too much, too much everything. It makes for an interesting life.
I have so many things to share with you, quite a bit more then a book. It'll be a hodgepodge of meandering thoughts from an opened student of the neo transcendentalistic quantum comedies. Actually, that sounds like a hell of a title, so don't use that without permission. I am looking for a good proof reader. Visions of punctuation never seem to come to me...
I'm going to start by combing the chronicles of Mas for some freebies for this endeavor.

Stimulate this...
As Obama threatens the senate to pass the stimulus, lets take a few minutes and see how the 900 billion will come into existence. This will be the fourth stimulus within the year. Mind your our debt to the FED in the last year alone towers in the trillions, which the taxpayers owes back with interest. Is it worth the $600-1600 you'll get in June? In effect it will cost you double that in taxes for years to come.
If you're not sure how this whole money thing works here ya go:
And now for your featured presentation:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Wednesday the recession will turn into "a catastrophe" if the economic stimulus is not passed quickly, lobbying anew for the plan as its price tag climbed above $900 billion and drew more criticism.
The president rejected several complaints about the plan, including arguments that tax cuts alone would solve the problem or that longer-term goals such as energy independence and health care reform should wait. Obama opposed such piecemeal approaches.
Instead, he argued that recalcitrant lawmakers need to get behind him, saying the American people embraced his ideas when they elected him president in November.
While urging members of Congress to act swiftly, he also promised to make changes to the legislation, which has been criticized as larded with spending that won't have an immediate impact on the economy.
"No plan is perfect, and we should work to make it stronger," Obama told reporters at the White House. "Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the essential. Let's show people all over our country who are looking for leadership in this difficult time that we are equal to the task.
"
Obama has sought each day to ratchet up the pressure on lawmakers, bringing different supportive groups to the White House, scheduling a series of TV interviews, even traveling to a charter school to tout one portion of the bill.
"A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession, a less robust recovery, and a more uncertain future," he said. "That's why I feel such a sense of urgency about the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan.
"
The Senate added money to its version of the bill for medical research and tax breaks for car purchases. The price tag could go yet higher Wednesday if a tax break for homebuyers is made more generous, even as centrists in both parties promise to clear away spending items that won't jump-start the economy immediately.
In an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Obama signaled a willingness to drop items that "may not really stimulate the economy right now." He also signaled he'll try to remove "buy American" provisions in the legislation to avoid a possible trade war.
In a victory for auto manufacturers and dealers, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., won a 71-26 vote to allow most car buyers to claim an income tax deduction for sales taxes paid on new autos and interest payments on car loans. The break would cost $11 billion over the coming decade but could mean savings of $1,500 on a $25,000 car.
"Just as we need to get the housing market going, we need to get auto sales going," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.
Wednesday's session could produce even more generous savings for homebuyers.
Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., is pressing for a tax credit of up to $15,000 for everyone who buys a home this year, at a cost of $18.5 billion. The pending measure would award a $7,500 tax credit only to first-time homebuyers.
At the same time, centrist senators, including Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, are seeking to cut tens of billions of dollars from the legislation. They're operating with the blessing of Democratic leaders, who hope a successful effort could attract some GOP votes for Obama's plan.
Obama summoned Collins to a White House meeting Wednesday afternoon, a Collins aide said.
Democratic leaders conceded they may soon be obliged to cut billions of dollars from the measure. "It goes without saying if it's going to pass in the Senate, it has to be bipartisan," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democratic leader, adding that rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties want to reduce the cost of the bill.
In a series of skirmishes Tuesday, the Senate turned back a proposal to add $25 billion for public works projects and voted to remove a $246 million tax break for movie producers. Both moves were engineered by Republicans who are critical of the bill's size and voice skepticism of its ability to create jobs.
But several hours later, GOP conservatives didn't contest approval of a $6.5 billion increase in research funding for the politically popular National Institutes of Health. That amendment, by Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, drove the price tag of Obama's plan just above $900 billion.
Democratic leaders have pledged to have the bill ready for Obama's signature by mid-month.
