  Can't keep eyes off crap on telly

  right now it is early morning hours, the house is still, i'm in a half-trance and on the telly is the after-midnight "estate and new jewelry show" that is as hypnotic as heck.

  most of it is sparkling jewelry spinning around on a rack to some really bad music that in my normal mind would be not worth a second of synapse resources, but in the sizzling sleep-deprived wide-eyed state it just draws me in.... i guess that's why they show this crap so late at night.

  sometimes i dream while awake when i stay up all night, and this is the sort of thing that stirs the unconscious in some vague way...though it's a piece of shyte..... i know it's not just me.

  I know it's not just me. I've seen other ppl inexplicably drawn in to late-night infomercials. So is it subliminal or does the mind just rot during the middle of the night?

  i have seen many threads about avatars, here is another one:.

  i have had this avatar for some time on another board.

  i was going to put a picture of myself in there, but decided against it, as i realized this picture has some symbolism to me.

  Homey, the guy from Columbo looks just like Roddy McDowell.

  A ha! I was right....see I do have a good memory.

  From the "Columbo Episode Guide":

  Short Fuse (1/19/72)

  Young inventor (Roddy McDowall) about to be forced out of the family chemical business uses exploding cigar box to kill his uncle and his detective/chauffer. Columbo claims the cigar box never exploded, and produces it while in a tram with the murderer, who panics.

  Yup....dat's da one! :)

  All About The Trinity

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when jesus was about to die, he showed who his superior was by praying: "father, if you wish, remove this cup from me.

  the one god is eternal (has always existed and always will), immortal (his divine nature cannot die), omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (he is everywhere at the same time), god is the only one who can read human hearts and minds, god cannot sin and cannot lie, god does not change his morals or his nature.

  the trinity is not one person revealed three different ways (this is what "oneness pentecostals" believe).

  elderwho.....Man, that's full-blown 21st-century Sabellianism and Patripassionism...very interesting!

  I should also say, knowing a bit about Canaanite and Akkadian (i.e. Babylonian mythology), the so-called Babylonian trinity of Nimrod-Tammuz-Semiramis is utterly nonexistent (being an erroneous, made-up concept invented by a certain 19th-century anti-Catholic writer), and the "Backsliden Israel" trinity and the other "Babylonian" trinity are simply lumpings together of deities worshipped in Israel and Babylon -- in no sense do these represent at all a three-in-one trinity concept, nor do these form triads of a male deity, his consort, and son; in Israel Tammuz was an Akkadian import parallel partly with Dagan and partly with Baal himself, and Asherah (Ashoreth?) was the mother of Baal -- not his consort. Neither was she analogous to Babylonian Ishtar; Athtart/Astarte was. And Ishtar was the consort of Tammuz -- not his mother (Sirdu, also spelled Sidur or Durdur, was Dumuzi's mother).

  In short, it's BS.

  frankie....I appreciate your comment very much, thank you. I guess you get both sides of me in the two avatars. The old avatar was more rugged but also sweet, and I really liked how it humanized the unfamiliar. The new avatar is elegant and expresses my love for things from the belle epoch. The only thing tho is that I don't like how the face is in shadow....so I might find a substitute pic sometime....

  Here is the full picture:

  gotmyfortyhomey.....I think I recall that guy...I'm a Colombo fan so I've seen most of them. Was that the guy who killed with a bomb in a cigar and he totally freaked when Colombo nabbed him in the ski lift? He had some funny accent, I think??
