Flowers from Safeway Why can't one change the past? Where did I leave my backpack? Why do I ask such ztupid questions? 040209 ... nomme i think perhaps we can and do change and create the past & future. or at least i've read some good articles on the subject which seem to suggest that feeling. you left your backpack where you last saw it, unless you didn't see it, in which case maybe someone else saw it. what colour is/was it? i like your ztupid questions. 040214 ... for the amusement thankyou) 040214 ... notme change and create / cause 040214 ... Doar What is the true defintion of infinity? 040214 ... blah-ze why do people act like people, and why do i act even more people-ish? and how can i stop? it's beginning to hurt me more and more. 040214 ... pipey just be yourself, blah-ze....maybe your definition of 'people-ish' isnt even remotely close to being that way...and there's nothing wrong in being polite/civil/nice to folks, so relaxshhhhh 040215 ... nomme inifinity is infinite it is eternal endless, without limit for me to define it would take forever and that is my indefinite answer) 040216 ... notme inifinity ifintininy fininintiny of course i meant infinity) 040216 ... notme blah-ze, people act like people because they are people, but if they are not acting like people , yet calling themselves people,.. then yous really gots to stop and wonder if they're actually people or notpeople just pretending to be people. people love people, but people also hate people. people birth people and people kill people. personally, i think it is good to be people. no matter how hard you try, you'll always be a member of the people, unless you're a notperson, in which case you're a member of the notpeople 040216 ... notme and as far as acting people-ish, well perhaps acting people-ish is better than acting notpeople-ish. notpeople are notoriously strange and very unpeople-like, though they often try to conceal their notpeopleness by taking on the disguises of everyday ordinary people. i wouldn't try to stop being a person if i were you, it's like trying to count to infinity, you'll only give yourself a heartache and/or headache. 040216 ... that concludes todays broadcast thankyou questioners) 040216 ...

Winks back ;) oh my, was that a wink? for little ole me? . 041014 ... minnesota_chris are you monadh? What is a monadh? And why isn't your writing as whimsical as monadh's was? Have you lost your whimsy? 041014 ... uow i am monadhsith (spelled monashee in english). i was named after the monashee mountains of bc, which were named long ago by an explorer dude from the scottish highlands. a monadh is a hill, or a mountain (or mountainous/hilly area) in scottish-pictish-gaelic, though it can also be translated as 'moorland' or 'muir' or 'healthy high plateau'. in irish, i've been told, it is 'peat bog'. it is a word found in various placenames and surnames of scotland, such as: monadhliath mountains and clan moncreiffe (monadh craoibhe = hill of the tree). Man (the isle of man) and Mon (anglesey) are said to be etymologically connected to the word monadh. the welsh form of monadh is mynydd, the breton forms are monid and menez. the latin is mons. the english equivalent is basically mountain or mount. was i more whimsical before? have i lost my whimsy? i don't know nothing. thanks for asking. 041014 ... minnesota_chris monadh was pretty high falutin. Nomme says hi a lot. I'm not saying one is better, mind you. 041015 ... mon uow i_used_to_soar 050304 ... mon uow question from oe: "hey nom - who is your favorite composer as far as violin concertos and quartets go? you may have answered this question somewhere else but i retain very little because of my long association with aeresol cans...well of course me..i kid" *nomme thinking* i don't know really, i don't listen to enough 'classical' music to have a favourite,...i like beethoven a lot, vivaldi, bach, and whoever else,...but i'm pretty illiterate. played classical in the strings programme in elementary school,...but i dropped out of it so i could take guitar in grade 8...which ended up being boring 'cause i knew what they were teaching already,...but it ended up okay 'cause i'd get out of that class for field hockey and basketball games anyway so it all worked out fine. i've always liked classical stuff but been drawn more towards folkish/traditional style fiddle (which i can't really play too well either). i always found sheet music confusing, so i gave it up,...but, nonetheless, i do enjoy listening to most classical pieces. 050304 ... mon uow (...even if i can't play them) 050304 ... oldephebe hey..yeah i was just getting ready to ask again until i caught the paste...psychic thread and here is what i said.... now i'll go back and read your response ... 050304 ... oldephebe Cool. You're so honest and natural with what you say... and now for some reason i want to say The Wood(en) Prince and the Mandarin transposed to the key of C#minor and...and guess what an entirely renovated percussion arrangement that alternates between a subtle spanish sultry kind of thing and a missionary martial beat the syncopated parts feature finger cymbals and those clicker things spanish women put on thier fingers as they do that captivating dance with stilletto black patent leather pumps and a really like almost gossamer skirt but you the more fun with frilly hems kind... bartok be a bad mo' fo' god nom you're just so natural with everything, i find that intriguing ... 050304 ... |read| Do you love you as much as we love you? 050305 ...

(z) (when grasses blow and ripple, are the breezes a cause or an effect?) 050308 ... mon uow oe, i googled bartok,...see i told you i was illiterate. i think i must've heard yehudi menuhin play some of his music but i often hear things and don't pay attention to the names of the pieces or composers... anyway, i liked the image you created. and syncopated and syncopation are two of my words of the year so that was neat you used the word syncopated. as far as being natural or honest,... well, i don't know what to say to that. i'm trying to cultivate love. i have always harboured a lot of fear in many ways, which i am trying to overcome. speaking honestly is something i strive for. 050309 ... mon uow |read|, as i was saying above to oe, i am trying to cultivate love. i love. i think we are love,... yet i often have moments of self_hate. and then i wonder how can i love everything and yet still hate myself. how i can hate? i think maybe fear and hate are love confused. i think fear is the root of hate and love is the root of fear. i love the fact that i am me here_and_now. i get caught up on thoughts like "i'm ugly", "i'm stupid", "i'm worthless", etc.,...but then i just have to take a deep breath and chill. when i think back on my life and everything that has happened to/with me,...i sometimes find myself in dark corners screaming at myself,... but i am finding light in those dark places. i think i am learning to accept myself for who i am. and to accept is to love. 050309 ... mon uow blather has shown me much love and encouragement, and i think that has helped me immensely. 050309 ... mon uow stork_daddy, i read you're taking a break, : ( so maybe i should email you my answer but i will write this here anyway. i do think about you. i think about the universe a lot, and you are part of the universe, so i can't help but think about U in that sense. but, i also think about you in the you you you sense a lot. i read a lot of your recent blathes. in fact i tend to read almost every recent blathe. i'll be missing reading you in recent,..and i'll be thinking about you! thanks for thinking about me. 050309 ... mon uow (z), i think that when grasses blow and ripple, the breezes are a cause and an effect. like how without_beans_there_is_no_sky but i could be wrong. i'll think about it some more. 050309 ... nomme saying thank you all for your questions.) 050309 ... no reason dear nomme, will you please write a poem (any length or form you choose) about the ocean? 050309 ...

Have you ever read anything on autism, i think i may have a mild form of autism i mean it's really difficult for me to interpret non-verbal social cues and even some verbally articulated cues... i'm revealing that because when i read your blathes, your responses to peoples questions...they emote, you seem to be totally at ease....I believe that there is something awry in the corticol cytoarhitecture of the hyppocampal formation w/r/t analyzing language and non-verbal cues from the old brain the limbic system and ah the facility for language processing and interpreting the physiological responses to stimuli...i mean i think sometimes that i just don't get it right. Sometimes it's like the persons lips are moving and all i hear is the old charlie brown sound effect...the one that goes waaa waaa, it's actually produced by holding a plunger up to a trombone and sliding the bell desultorily up and down...see? just did it again... you relate so well to other 'skites ... 050310 ... polysyllabic poseur incidentally where could i find some authentic gaelic (scottish) music on the net? 050310 ... RIC neocortex processes language, so is it a neuro-chemical dysfunction or some break down in the interdependancy of various complex systems that are involved in processing and recognizing and making the appropriate connection in order for us to ascribe in some measure of equanimity, meaning to the stimuli wich will in some way be the author of our emotional response? if there is a genetic predisposition toward neuro-chemical dysfunction and perhaps a dysfunction in the interdependant systems that relay the emotions to us...or maybe even something skewed in the cytoarchitecture ..so..wow.. okay so mon one more question...whose your favorite poet? ... 050310 ... for no reason about the ocean there are gulls flying catching ferries to and fro the islands . in the ocean i once swam i was a dolphin my ears bled when i heard the navy sonar scream . when the boats of people dreamed of swimming in the ocean with dolphins i wept and laughed 050312 ... mon uow i had thought of some things i could write about the ocean, but, for some reason, i just decided to write what i did just now. thankyou no_reason. 050312 ... mon uow (z), i noticed someone dotted ask_nomme in who_writes_history_now and i have to say i was amused, because when i first read the title the other other day, i read now as uow,...and indeed uow is, besides being an upside down & backwards mon, a play on now. i even wrote a few blathes under now and not now in red, so that was cool someone dotted ask_nomme and you asked me. as to the question,... um....!?! i was thinking about it (and is it the victors? how is victory defined?) before being directly asked,...but i'm afraid i haven't got a clear enough answer to write yet. i think it's still forming. maybe my answer won't ever be exactly clear but hopefully it'll be intelligible enough to you and others to make some sense. write right now i don't think it would be. so i'm putting this one on hold. thankyou.) 050312 ... mon uow god, at first i read: would you like a smack? heh. i would like a snack but i'll wait till breakfast, thanks. 050312 ... mon uow dot, . 050312 ... mon uow Christine, "...He that questioneth much, shall learn much, and content much; but especially, if he apply his questions to the skill of the persons whom he asketh; for he shall give them occasion, to please themselves in speaking, and himself shall continually gather knowledge. But let his questions not be troublesome; for that is fit for a poser. And let him be sure to leave other men, their turns to speak. Nay, if there be any, that would reign and take up all the time, let him find means to take them off, and to bring others on; as musicians use to do, with those that dance too long galliards. If you dissemble, sometimes, your knowledge of that you are thought to know, you shall be thought, another time, to know that you know not. Speech of a man's self ought to be seldom, and well chosen...Discretion of speech, is more than eloquence; and to speak agreeably to him, with whom we deal, is more than to speak in good words, or in good order. A good continued speech, without a good speech of interlocution, shows slowness: and a good reply or second speech, without a good settled speech, showeth shallowness and weakness. As we see in beasts, that those that are weakest in the course, are yet nimblest in the turn; as it is betwixt the greyhound and the hare. To use too many circumstances, ere one come to the matter, is wearisome; to use none at all, is blunt..." - sir francis bacon, of discourse i think i need to revisit bacon. but on the food side of things,... i really could go for a snack,... some veggie-bacon on toast with mustard and lettuce and sprouts and tomatoes. darn i'm getting hungry. i should just go to sleep...that's what i'll do. 050312 ... mon uow oe, i have read a bit about autism and asperger's,...but not enough to know what i'm talking about if i try to talk about it right now,..so i don't know what to say at the moment. there is one dear little boy in my life who has been diagnosed as being autistic. i need to learn more myself,...so i will be reading more at some point. there is a lot in google,...if you like i can do some searching for you while i'm reading up about it,..but by then you'll probably have done so yourself so maybe my searching for you would be pointless. i'm going to be quite busy with company this next week,... more specifically...i'll be playing with my little niece,...but after that i should have some more time for searching and reading and can email you some info if you like. as to ease,...that reminded me of some comments when i was young on stage in elementary school plays,...people said i was so at ease but in truth i was terrified and just trying not to mess up my lines out of nervousness. i often find it difficult to write because of my cognitive 'problems',...i can get confused easily,...and so i often have to reread and reread things to have them make sense, or semi-sense,...but not always. somethings seem so clear at times when i'm reading,...especially 'poetry',...and sometimes the words i find myself typing just seem to click in my mind...and hopefully sometimes in others'. really i'd like to just do some mindmelding with everyone because, as much as i love words, they don't always, or barely, cut it. i can often do better with reading body language,...tone of voice,..and facial expression,..and just sensing peoples' energies,...as opposed to the intricasies of words written. indeed that is one of the reasons i have often been told i'm too sensitive,...because certain tones can 'make me' cry easily...but certain written words can also make me cry, so...yeah. i sometimes hear the charlie brown sound when i'm tired or overwhelmed in a crowded place with lots of lights and whatnot, but i think maybe that's different from what you were talking about,..or maybe not,..i don't know. i can identify with/relate to a lot of what skites write,...i mean we all share the same universe,...planet...basic emotions,...experiences,...anatomy, or well, mostly... we all come from the same ancient tree(s). and you know really i'm just amazed that we can all be communicating in the fashion(s) we are. i'm amazed that anyone is even asking me questions,... hey i got a sort of strangulation threat the other day so i'm not sure how well that reflects on my ability to communicate or relate to/with others... either i miscommunicated something or the skite just got annoyed with me or randomly selected me for target practice,...i don't know. i'm just yattering now (and then, and again). i'm quite tired so i'll have to tackle the fiddle and poets questions in the noon todaymorrow. 050312 ... tired nomme pardon any typos please oh blatherland. 050312 ... i mean typos and spypos) 050312 ... mon uow fiddle: i meant gaelic music) 050312 ... oldephebe thanx nomme it's wierd i guess..the fact that i've always had this affinity for gaelic music and it's progeny modern day irish and scots folk music. why in the world would anyone want to strangle mon nomme, now and monadh (spelling)? man! i guess some folk take these things here on blather waaaaaaay too seriously, myself included. ... 050312 ... no reason thankYOU nomme, that was lovely 050312 ... mon uow : ) you're welcome no_reason. 050313 ... mon uow i don't know why someone would want to strangle me,...but then,..i don't know why anyone would want to strangle anyone. does anyone really know?
