This is a place where I will write about things. Things that I like. Things that I like to write about. These things may be, but are not limited to: Gnosis, comedy, my adventures as a high school teacher in a large U.S. city, god, music, film, society, culture, communication, and lentils. And sports. Some sports too.

Slough off the useless paradigmatic nightmare
At this point in history, anyone still thinking about the world in terms of “Jew”, “Muslim”, “Christian”, “American”, “Palestinian”, “Israeli”, “Democrat”, “Republican”, “British”, “German”…. and all other variations of “Us” and “Them”… anyone STILL thinking in those terms is living in a sad sad matrix. All of these mental constructions that equate to semantic distinctions, variances in inherited belief systems, and arbitrary lines on a map are sick sad destructive illusions.
Turn on the news and watch horrible people doing horrible things for bullshit ideas. People lobbing rockets at others for bullshit. People destroying woman and children for bullshit. Israel, Palestine, Nigeria, Syria, Tibet, Ukraine, Takeyourpickestan, and the United Whateveryouwanttocallit. It’s all bullshit. It’s a game we made up at some point in history and somewhere in this thousands-year game of telephone we forgot that we could change the rules whenever we want.
Israelis, Palestinians, Whites, Blacks, Mexican, Texan… fuck it. Just live. Find something more constructive to care about.
