Devils Advocate

Ok, I feel the need to play the devils advocate on something.  I have been watching and biting my tongue on the middle east and nuclear development.  Here is my take on it.  Netanyahu asked the UN to place a "red line' for when the world will step in to stop nuclear development in Iran.  Why?  As a soverign nation does Iran not have the right to develop and maintain a nuclear program that might well entail nuclear weapons.  We never asked for permission when the Manhattan Project went into full swing and neither did Russia after WWII.  In this day and age where the USA is the sole super power in the world save for China why must we force our beliefs and rules on nations that are emerging as soverign powers. 

The recent uprisings in the areas have led to much debate as to how we as Americans actually view the stereotypical middle easterner.  It is a sad state of affairs that we resort to stereo typing every muslim as a radical and view the Christian world as peaceful.  Think again folks Christianity has been responsible for more death and war than anything.  Although, I wouldn't mind Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition's comfy chair right about now.  How many legends were born out of the crusades, Robin Hood and Etc. 

Now that I have moved to the right from the topic I'll get back.  In "Redemtion Songs" Bob Marley said we should have no fear of atomic energy but now we have evidence that shows that maybe we should be afraid (Fukushima).  We all know that nuclear power and weapons can be extremely dangerous and I would never want to live through a nuclear winter, but to enforce sanctions against a nation that is simply evolving along the same lines that we have, and yes I said evolving.  Evolution is not a theory it is a process in which things change over a period of time, Iran is evolving as a nation and it should be allowed to develop it's own infrastructure.  In the same breath I should also say that I believe that we must have a good defense against such a horrific possibilty, which we already have.   So in the end what does it come down to a David vs. Goliath scenario in which many of the smaller countries are going to side with the former and lead us into something we don't really want to deal with. 

Just my insane ramblings and take on the world these comments are not supported by purina puppy chow or it's associates.

Hello Mr. blue sky

Thankfully, the weather changed and the sun is beaming it's energy upon us.  It is a good day today. I woke up late and walked into town and got on the 'puter at the library.  Nice people all the way around. Chatted with some very nice folks and recieved a nice little care package from an angel at my campsite. 

I watchd the hunger games and now I want to read the series, Ethan is 2 books ahead of me, but I need to finish this star trek book that is nagging at me.  All in all today I feel Happy, My finger hurts but I am happy.

I wish the world a night of peace and prosperity, just one night.

Much love to you all,

Jesus is Pissed.

I went into town last week to sell some comics and I totatlly jipped by the store that bought them.  It was my own damn fault because I don't like to haggle and I screwed.  Fuck you Bosco's but well played I must say.  while walking by the bus transit center I saw a guy with a sign that said "Jesus is pissed" and I said to my friend he knows what he is talking about.   Then we spent the money on food and got back in to palmer.  then fastforward to Mom leaving and being sent out to the airport in limousine, The local cab only costs 75 bucks to run into anchorage so you save the limo for real sakes Mom's an old sourdough, but I hope she enjoyed her self. 

I am pissed right now because my so called"spraind" finger is FUCKING Broken.  I am going to Sue the shit out of Mat-su Regional Hospital.  and my fucking toes hurt so there I need to calm down and relax a bit right now becuase right now I am seeing RED.

I know today is the primaries but you know what whatever candidate you  put in We have to remember that this is a government by the people and for the people. 

My finger hurts.

Meine Familie sind nüsse

Ok, My family is far from functional in the most strangest of ways.  For some reason on my Mom's side there is this need for litigation.  It must be the German/Irish in them feeling that they deserve something that in real honesty they don't.  My cousin's fought over their inheritance from their parent's and left a rift almost deeper than the Grand Canyon.  I can understand that in a large family there is going to be in fighting.  My dad's family had 3 brothers that didn't always see eye to eye but instead of dragging the courts into it they worked it out themselves.  My Mom sued her brother along with her sister for their inheritance, I hate to say it but her other brother was probably lucky to have died and be spared most of it. 

I have only ever sued one company and that was a satellite dealer in TUS who sold me a bum dish for AK and he wouldn't take it back and I ended up spending more just to get the stupid satellite to work.  I am the type of person that likes to be eye to eye with a person.  If you have something to say, say it to me and let's take care of it, If I screwed up and said something out of turn bring it to me and we will work it out.  Honesty has and always will be my best policy.  If you ask me a question directly I will give you the God's honest truth even if it screws me over or you.  It is one thing that I learned from my dad, I am thankful for that.

So, today I had to go to court against my own Mom.  She had taken out a restraining order that was rather full of falicies.  I honoured it until we could make the court day.  She wanted to expand it to indefinetly.  Now as most of you know I have been taking care of her for a while now.  She can be rather combative if she thinks she is right and you are wrong.  ei, ei, ei, ei!!!  My cousin(The one I had to block for going around my back) out in Philly wanted Mom to move out there a while back when she and her husband were struggling to keep their house because they are on disability and on way to many prescription drugs if you were to ask me.  Mom told them "No" and that she would stay up here.  But now things have changed dramatically with what Mom wants to do and even how she wants to be buried(Coercion if you ask me).  I have General Power of Attorney and medical power as well.  I hate to have had to us it but I did today. 

Mom spoke her peace and then I countered and ultimately the judge sided with me.  The People that want to buy her house are hanging around quite a lot like they already own the place and it was my understanding that they were living there already.  I have only met them once and she has spoken to them via phone and in person a few times over the past months.  Not that they are bad people but I don't know them from Adam.  So right now I can go to the house with her permission (even though I have the Power of Attorney) and get my stuff and hopefully get a shower. 

If I have learned anything from this whole performance it is that Drama sucks,  I feel like I am in a Goddamned soap opera.  I hope that Mom and I can sit down and have a civil conversation.  I think I might give her a few days to settle down and see how she is on Friday .

Other than that what should I rant about...The folks that I am hanging with right now have their own problems as well.  I think if you don't have some problems and fight as a family to a certain point it is not a healthy situation.  My ex and I had some Knock down drag outs where she would scream at the top of her lungs and then she got physical which was to much for me.  I guess we as humans just need a better way to communicate our anger to others around us subtlety is good but some people need to be told straight to their faces "you are being an asshole, stop it"  I am probably one of them.  I think that is why I use comedy so much as a defense mechanism and it seems to work.  I feel for those who have no sense of humour. 

OK that's enough, except for this I saw on CNN that the GOP are whinnig little babies in this campaign.  I would tend to agree with that.  Obama is playing "Chicago-politics"  where do you think he is from????  I wish that HST had hung around for a little bit longer to see the Dems back in control.  The game is afoot and the arena are the campaigns.  Who are the gladiator's and who are the weak little one's coming to the slaughter.  It is just heating up there is a lot more to come.

Peace out,

The trials of life.

Had a little run in with the law and went back to set my camp up and Police came asked if Iwas taking my tent down and I said no I am putting up they said ok and left.  And earlier my C-pap machine came backto me from some nice folks who found it in the forest after some un mentionables had ransacked my gear.  So there I was settling down to work at getting my tent torn down after I just put it up and I hear "ChickenMan" the teens in the park call me Chicken man because I once offered to share my roasted chicken with them, they were all hanging out and skating, which is never a crime!!!  So these two young ladies appear and ask if they could talk to me I said sure And we just talked about being homeless right now and how it sucks and How I do want to get my certificate back to teach.  Turns out they are girls from the local high school so you never know I might get my substitute cert back and see them again.  They left it was a nice conversation I was journaling and writing lyrics like always...I have to damned random thoughts running through my head at any given time, I thik I know Einstein felt.

Act two:
The popo return dadadummmmmmm!!!!  Mr.Chamberlin we went back and researched our ordinances and you can't camp here.  OK, so where can I camp.  They told me about a place down the old glenn across the river that I could take all of my stuff to and set up camp there. (Divine intervention here)  Well, all of my stuff is like a tent one big suicase a duffle bag and my food and back pack and abunch of other stuff and that is about a 2 miles away.  OH HAPPY DAY SWEET JESUS LOVES ME I GET WALK ON BLISTERED FEET ALL THE WAY DOWN THEIR, is what I thought.  But as sat there contemplating my next move the two young ladies returned with a meal fro Mcdonald's for me?????  Can you believe it!!!!   There is goodness and compassion in this world.  So they were able to give me a lift with all of my junk down to the river park where I hooked up with the folks from earlier in the day who gave me back my C-pap machine and we had a rip-roarin good time lastnight.

The is a power in this universe you may call it God, Buddha, Zeus or Jupiter or Wkan Tanka or maybe just universal Karma.  You never know.

On a more Bummer note I lost my cellphone I can't find it and when I had it last it wasn't really working anyway so until I get a new one somehow I will be only available via Face book and e-mail gordychamberlin@gmail.com,

I writing on borrowed time my battery is slowly dwindling as I write this.  My charger ist Kaput so I had to borrow to get this precious juice.

My night was an experience like ahab against his whale tent poles snapped waves of great crashing water fell down drowning most my stuff  But it will dry today seems like a nice break in the weather. Other than that I hoping to catch a ride with some one today over to the medical joint and see about my finger:

The swelling is getting worse and hurst likes a Motherfucker (Yeah I said, I never said this blog was G rated.)   I am taking alleve to no avail so something has got to be wrong.

I f anybody is in the palmer area and could give me a lift to the mat-su health sevices I would appreciate it.

A comedy of errors

So last night was truly a test of patience.  I received a welcomed gift of a tent and began my night of wetness.  As I put up the tent one of the poles broke( I fixed with some good tape) and I ended up getting confused on the sleeves that you put the rods through.  eventually, I got it up in perfect Three Stooges fashion ate my supper of beef ravioli and set the night to sleep the rain came.  Some how the rod came undone and the tent deflated letting the water run in so in hindsight which is always 20/20 I should have put the rain cover on it, oh well.

I think I need to go back to doctor's my middle finger is swelling up bigger and bigger.  I really think they miseed something.  It might need to be reset but it hurts like the dickens and it's got a click in it.  Not good juju.  For thos who like good investment tips I think you should look into Insight100 A new technology that scans fluids for their content, where as most x-ray machines only see fluid not what type it is.

That's all for now, have great day!!!!
