as long as man puts the artificial (money, god) about the real (animals, trees) he is heading for an eventual collapse. but I don't think he will learn anything from the collapse. paradise is available in small bits, enjoy the national parks, enjoy landscaping your own home in a natural setting rather than a lawn with hedges.

Am I weird, in that I actually want the world to end?
by free2beme insince leaving the witnesses, i have noticed that i enjoy movies about the world ending.
they might be movies about major disasters killing off the world (deep impact) or maybe movies about a world after civilization has fallen (the postman, waterworld).
i even like those movies that show society falling apart in alien invasions (war of the worlds, independence day).

Orwell, 1984, and the Watchtower
by RichieRich inso my english class just got handed (yesterday) 1984, by george orwell.
its a book i've been wanting to read for a long time, but haven't been able to (i read non stop for english class).. so i was really excited when i got the book.
from what i've heard about it, it seemed like it would be really pertinent for people in the watchtower.. all i can say is wow.

Richie, 1984 is a masterpiece.
But don't just apply it to the Watchtower, apply it to any bureaucracy that seeks your submission and loss
of your individuality and believe me there are a lot of them out there.

Bad Behavior in Field Service
by TallTexan inbeing raised in the 'truth', i obviously spent much of my youth in service.
of course, as we got older, my friends and i would act the fool in service as much as possible.
we used to use the names of popular rap artists with the old farts we called on.

oh my god, great stories. we were boring boring compared to some of you. the worst we would do is introduce ourself and then say the other person had something they wanted to say to you, catching them completely off guard.
but nookie and retarded urinating? not by us goody goody two shoes types.

Taking Life Too Seriously
by joelbear ini've been thinking a lot this week about what has gotten my brain into the mess that it is in.
yes, chemistry plays a part, but i think thoughts affect brain chemistry as much as brain chemistry affects thoughts (especially over a long period of time).
i know that one thing for sure is true, i take life and all the bits and pieces of it way too seriously, allowing my emotions to be swung on a much greater arc that i should.. but just think about witness childhoods.

But just think about witness childhoods. Birthdays were days for murder. Everything is pagan. Saturday mornings were for going out and saving people from destruction. I mean sheesh. We didn't have a chance to go up carefree.
I think part of my personal recovery has to be chilling out and not worrying so much about every detail of my life.

freedom to be more me than i've been before. my artist name is going to be odi (pronounced odd eye), cause i see the world from my own angle and few people share that particular angle which is cool, cause then it won't be crowded from where i am standing.
my next set of pots will be done in a week or so.
i'm loopy for you guys.
hugs

Brokeback Mountain Ang Lee.
Oh man, I am so excited about this movie. I've read the short story by Annie Proulx. It is excellent.
And they aren't dying of AIDS or dressed up in drag, that is so MMI. I only buy movies that deal with
homosexuals outside the stereotypical girlie man or dying man genres. There are about 10 of them.
My favorite homo movies
Maurice
The Bear Cub
The Wedding Banquet
A Beautiful Thing
Trick
now if we can just sign Sean Astin to play me in my life story.

Nowhere else to go
by joelbear inthere is really nowhere else for me to post about what goes on inside me.
i know that my problems aren't all because i was a witness.
the agony in my mind has led me to a psychiatrist.. he has diagnosed me with cyclothymic mood disorder, a milder form.

the agonizing mental distress that started tuesday morning finally ended late last night.
i simply have to get relief from this, i have another psych appt next wednesday.
it does help to post my feelings here, it relieves some of the pressure. it is nice
to have a place where i can say anything about what is going on and still get hugged.
it is appreciated.
