143 And A Wake Up.......
So I'm mainly talking to myself. What's the harm in that? I have figured out one of the main reasons why I feel driven to Buring Man. It's because I'm in search of my People.
I have always felt out of place. My friends, many, but fleeting and few lasting. In this large counrty of 300 million people, I can believe that there are only about 50,000 People like me out there and that they got so fed up with society that they decided to have a gathering.
How do I know they are my Poeple? I don't. I'll have to go to figure that out. When I was in college I gathered around me some "followers" that I thought were my People. I named it "The Freebird Society". The idea was that we could be ourselves without any pretense. Of course we cmoked a lot and listened to celtic and jamiacan music. Some of those afternoons were the best ever. I recall a time once where it was my birthday and I was getting a beer out of the fridge and in the background I could hear at least 15 different People talking from all kinds of different backgrounds and they were laughing and saying how it was the best party ever. I thought to myself, "It is the best ever." It doesn't get better than People being themselves to each other in safety and comradship.
Who are "my People"? Just that. People you are safe around. People you can be like when you are around family.
Today Brandy finally read the survival guide and she has a better understanding of what we need to do to prepare for Burning Man. I traded some Marine Corps Institute Training manuals for a khaki, digital training bush cap. I priced some cami-netting for shade, and got closer to my sons. Nuff said. Laters!

144 And a Wake Up.....
Wow! Sometimes the bloggin thing isn't just the simple thing you would think it would be. Sometimes, it feels like work. Anything worth anything does though, doesn't it?
MAN!!!! I have been in PAIN!! We had to move up my teeth extractions up a week. This Friday.. n. At least they will knock me out. Also, we have the $ for one ticket. We are gonna hang on till Tuesday so we can get both at the same time. Mail order. Save us enough money for another box of MRE's.
Things are a bit tense. $ ALWAYS is in a marriage. Built into the contract I think. Wife and I had to work out some issues. Note to self:
"Never offer a piece of yourself aas a punching bag for the release of frustrations. She is ALWAYS stronger than you remember."
I can't wait to get away from the drama and politics at work. Some Egos are so large, they either bump you out of your desk chair when they walk by or threaten to suffocate you by sucking all of the oxygen out of the room and into their combustable personality.
I've got my own personal "Axis of Evil" going on where one person plays North Korea by constantly threatening to drop dama nukes, but won't tell you why, the other talks out of both end of his mouth like an Iranian diplomat (and many American diplomats as well), and the 3rd is like Iraq. Out for money and prestige and willing to sacrifice YOU for it, but NOT make the sacrifices himself. Enough about work! Someone might read this and connect the dots. Talk about my own personal World War 3! It's like dealing with children who are convinced they know better than you and never admit mistakes even when you do.ANYHOO......
Lots more to think about and ponder. We finished another documentary about the 2002 Burning Man. It was informative. Done watching. Time to start doing!!!!

146 And a Wake Up......
Well, the guy buying my scooter didn't quite have the $600 he said he would. More like $150. After stewing on it for a few hours, I thought a better hold amount would be $300. At least ONE ticket can be secured that way.
It's a shame that the event costs anything, but the organizers feel the same way. There is just no way logistically or logically they could pull it off without the kinda of $ they ask for for tickets. Seperates the wheat from the chaff, to borrow an ancient phrase.
Well, news about me. I went to the dentist today. 1st time since 1993. I have to relinquish 5 teeth to the grinning, bearded tooth fairy. Not as difficult a task as I thought I would be tasked with. My two lower wisdom teeth are coming sideways. The top two are growing down like stalagtites to fill the the cavern yawning below them. Finally, I have one tooth where a 1/3 of it decided to take a vacation to Fiji, permanately. The tooth fairly wanted to put me in his vinyle chair this Friday!! I had to take a rain check for the 30th.
Whew! So I type to you now on my anti-anxiety pills, hydro-codone for the pain, and a few, refreashing Widmar Drifter Pale Ales. I wonder how many people are less than normal who do this sort of thing? Falling on your sword and spilling your guts is embarrasing enough on the battlefield, but to do it voluntary on the internet like this is sorta like taking a large kite to the edge of a sea-side cliff in a stiff wind pulling towards the water and seeing if you can keep upright.
What the hell happened to the spell check on this thing? I feel like someone gave me a wedgie and pulkled my pants down in the middle of the hallowed high school hallways typing away like this without a safety net to prove I'm not completely English retarded. Oh well. The music on Pandora is good!
I gotta start thinking about power and how we will provide some personal things for ourselves on the Playa, like music. I would REALLY like to get my hands on some hand drums. There's nothing like beating your sould out across an animal skin puilled taught over a cavern for sound pictures.
Ok, laters!!!

147 And A Wake Up.........
This might be a bit scatter-bained, well see. Not that I'm not usually scatter-brained, just more than usual.
I've been watching a documentary on 2012. Did you know, we are going to have a signiciant changes in our world on 2012? Much like the changes that occured in 2000 with Y2K, and even earlier in 1988 with the 88 Reasons Why Jesus Was Returning in 1988. Take it seriously, because your golden age is at risk here.
Ahh, Netflix, where would I be without you? My soul-mate, my comfort, my tUt-SwEET!!
Anyhoo, I should have my scooter sold tomorrow and then I can get the tickets. After that, it's just planning. I noticed I have gained a follower. To this follower, you know that now, when I command, you can walk on water in my name right? Therefore, WALK! DO!
Seriously, I honestly believe that if YOU believe something completely and totaly you can walk on water. So the gap is the doubt in your faith. Even a gap of a cintimeter is enough of a gap to send you sinking into the water like Peter.
You know, God is cool! When He sees you, He always gives you a hug. The kinda hug you remember getting from your parents when you knew they loved you. Did you know God's favorite game is taking down pride?
There were people there, when I met God in a dream (after asking to meet him 30 years ago), that thought they could do it better. So, God would say, "Ok, now your God." Then we would all sit back and watch (he never had more than 25 from different times and places in the room at any one time). He even did it to me. You know, without the knowledge He has, we all ended up being selfish and botching the game up. Couldn't pull it off. That's because God showed me that there isn't anything, not nailing a nail, not washing a scummy tub, not killing a bug, that He hasn't already done millions of times over. The one thing I know, is that He keeps His promises. He is coming back and has never left.
Why God has me going to Black Rock, I don't know, but it must be a good reason! Laters!!

148 And A Wake Up..........
Kilts. I can't think of anything that would be more comfortable in the desert than a kilt. Check it out: http://www.sportkilt.com/product/1511/USMC-Desert-Digital-Camo.html. Looks comfy, don't it? Ahhhh, but what shirts to wear? Should I wax poetic and get the poet's shirt or do what I'm leaning towards and get Marine brown T's and re-sole my old vintage Marine Corps boots? I think I should do the latter.
Well, I had to stop by and check in with the buyer of my scooter today. 3 Tiers of the tickets have sold out, so that leaves one more tier. He's gonna give me enough to cover the tickets by Wed or I have to run an ad online. Wanna 80cc scooter?
This guy does and GOD LOVE HIM FOR IT!
Ok, short and sweet. Going to bed early. GOD Monday's are harsh and challenging. Can't wait to have a chilled out Monday in August..
WELL!! Early bed almost NEVER works out. HOWVER, I thought this youtube was awesome! check it out!

149 And A Wake Up......tickets
Well, closer every day. Makes you admire the moment more, because if you don't, you go crazy thinking about the future.
We have an art project put together, just working out details with Burning Man on how I need to proceed.
I had to go to the gentleman who is buying the scooter and turn up the heat a little. Since he showed interest, real interest, before I placed an ad, I decided to wait and give him the chance to buy it. I had to give him a deadline of Wed because all three tiers of tickets are already sold out.
Everything I'm talking about is just dust in the wind till I get tickets. Now Tier 2 & 3 are sold out "online" so I'm not sure if that means that they are available through mail order or not, but it would sure help my cause financially if mail order tickets are still available. I admire the theory behind the different tier pricing. It is basically that those who can afford the more expensive ones would buy those and sell those out 1st, but we have been raised in a greed- driven, capitalistic society, so I'm POSITIVE some rich people bought up all of the cheap ones.
Sound philosophy though. Just depends to much on the good-will of mankind. Realistically, it won't happen. Not unless the entire planet suddely learned how to lok out for other 1st, then themselves. "Love thy neighbor" and all that. Such was the downfall of Communism, and will be the downfall of Capitalism in the end.
Well, we have forward movement, and as long as there is movement, there is progress, so with a slight buzz and cheese in the tummy, I bid you farewell, and many happy returns! Laters!!!
