Is the universe infinite, or just very large? Is it everlasting or just long lasting? Did time itself have a beginning and will it ever end? Reality and imagination weave together in an erratic ensemble of the absurd. In the next dimension so far unknown to the living anything is possible. In the fifth dimension, no rules of logic or reasoning apply, your creativity and imagination is all you have.

The Olympic's, The Worlds Past Time?

The Olympics are virtually as old as time itself, OK, that's a vast exaggeration, but Olympic athletes from 13 to over 200 countries have been competing with each other for at least 1300 years, despite a 1500 year lay-off from the games. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-modern-olympic-games  / http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-modern-olympic-games

In 776 B.C. the first Olympic games were held in honor of the Greek gods Zeus and his goddess wife Hera. Some historians claim the games started even 500 years earlier. For next the 1200 years, the Olympic games continued until 393 A.D., that same year Roman Emperor Theodosius I ended the games claiming them to be UN Christian, thus the Olympics did not resume until April 6, 1896. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-modern-olympic-games

During Olympic games, wars were halted to allow visitors to travel safely to Olympia Greece to watch the 16 day festivities. It's safe to say the Greeks invented the word 'truce." http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/Olympics/truce.html / 

The tradition of the Olympic truce dates back to the 9th century B.C., in Ancient Greece.
During the Truce period, the athletes, their families and ordinary people, could travel in total safety to participate in or attend the Olympic Games, then return home safely.

"Fierce Five," as Sports Illustrated dubbed them, the USA women's gymnastic team became the first U.S. gymnastic team to win back to back Olympic team gold medals, doing so in the 2012 London Games and this year's Rio Games. Twenty-two-year-old Aly Raisman is the oldest one on the team and often called the grandma of the team. Raisman and Gabby Douglas are the two women returning from the 2012 Olympic team.

Simone Biles, 19-years-old was too young to be on the 2012 Olympic team. She has been a dominate champion from 2013 to present and her four individual gold medals and one bronze in this years Olympics has solidified her as one of the greatest athletes of all time.

Just watching Biles day one trails is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWeecKjJb6s She glides through the air as effortlessly as a politician lies. Laurie Hernandez, 16-years-old is the youngest of the Fierce Five, won a silver medal in the women's balance beam competition and favorite Simone Biles slipped during her routine and took the bronze. Madison Kocian, 19-years-old has both Olympic gold and silver individual medals to her name. She is the uneven bar baron on the team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9npbGI_Hcw 

American swimmer Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian ever with 28 Olympic medals, 23 of them are gold. http://www.foxsports.com/olympics/gallery/28-incredible-facts-about-michael-phelps-28-olympic-medals-23-golds-count-how-many-081316

Phelps counter part on the men's Olympic swimming team, Ryan Lochte tarnished his career with drunken lies and debauchery. Lochte claimed on August 14 that he was robbed at gun point in Rio during the Summer Olympics by four men dressed up as police officers. Rio police proved Lochte’s story wrong, citing surveillance video and witness testimony. Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers (not Phelps) vandalized a Rio gas station restroom in a drunken stupor, and have all since paid for the damages.   http://www.wruf.com/headlines/2016/08/22/former-gator-ryan-lochte-under-fire-after-rio-incident/

The most creative writers in the history of time itself could not come up with a better last name for a record holding gold medal sprinter then Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. Bolt is the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100-meter and 200-meter races in record times. Bolt has dominated his sport since 2008 by winning  the gold in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, 2012 in London and this year's Summer Games in Rio, giving him nine gold medals. http://www.biography.com/people/usain-bolt-20702091

The American women are currently the most dominant team in women's rowing. They have not lost an Olympic or world rowing championship in 10 years. Sports Illustrated headlined the rowing team as "The Unbeatables.'' The rowing team won their third consecutive gold medal at this Summer Game and their fourth overall. http://www.espn.com/olympics/rowing/story/_/id/17293862/2016-rio-olympics-united-states-women-3rd-straight-rowing-win-new-gold-standard-coxed-8

"Sport alone cannot enforce or maintain peace. But it has a vital role to play in building a better and more peaceful world," Dr Jacques Rogge, International Olympic Committee President said on October 2007. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2007-10-31-2612545205_x.htm 

Pathetic Pawn (me) Point of View

Where do we go from here? Abandoned by God or the gods, just look around, why are little ones born only to suffer?

Hungry children in the dessert and the flies that clouds their eyes, I get these intense feelings of sadness and anger that too often fester into dark venting. I'm powerless, a nobody in this heartless world.

The extremely rich only care about themselves and the poor can't help the poorest, the U.K., China, Japan, North, South Korea, Russia, the U.S. and all the other countries with rich world leaders do absolutely nothing for those in dire straights. The men who hold high places must be the ones who start to mold a new reality, but those soulless bastards are forever engulfed in the mighty dollar.

So many tribes over run and undermined, might makes right, just look at us white folk and the Mexicans in recent history. The Mexicans started the slaughter of the Indians and the white man finished the job by stealing California, Texas, Oregon, and other states the Mexicans took from the Indians.

In the more than a 190,000 years of Homo sapiens history, great civilizations like the Greece and Roman empire slaughtered tens of millions of women and children so quote, unquote civilized people could have running water, live in way over priced housing and drive ridiculously pricey vehicles.

Currently the U.S. is killing dozens if not hundreds or even thousands of Middle Eastern innocent women and children with drones, drones fly, children die. Selfish folk like myself  drive our oil and gasoline fueled vehicles to our slave ridden jobs to pay our crazy bills that only benefit the extremely wealthy who always manage to brain wash the poor into going to pointless wars.

Too Weird To Live, Too Unique to Die

Hunter S. Thompson was indeed right about the likes of me; too weird to live, too unique to die.

Feelings of love and lust must be buried in the black hole of dead emotions. Solitude is my solace, nature, words, books and photography are my unobtrusive companions.

No matter what age, there will always be worshipers at beauties shrine.

Buster Keaton

Unfortunately for me, I'm still human with useless wants of a females touch. Not successful or handsome enough for the one I want, so 'deal with it' I convince myself and move on.

Our quest for discover fuels our creativity for all things; science, religion, superstition and fantasy. To dwell in the fifth dimension where literally anything is possible. To live in a world where all children are safe, marvelous nature is just a few footsteps outside every door, war just a twisted nightmare, money is obsolete, no leaders or followers  and a lovers wings carry the loving to a tangible paradise.

Two Movies, A Blitzkrieg of Bizarre

Both the R rated movies "The Lobster" and "High Rise," released Aug. 2 on DVD are odysseys into the odd to say the least.

"High-Rise" starring Tom Hiddleston is an apocalyptic montage of chaos, confusion and intrigue. Dr. Robert Laing, (Hiddleston) is the newest resident  of a luxurious apartment complex which soon becomes a battle ground for the extremely stuck-up and down to Earth, yet very bizarre people including Hiddleston.

One of my favorite scenes in "High Rise" is when Richard Wilder, extremely well acted by Luke Evans brings down about 20 children, maybe 10 and 11-years-old to the buildings swimming pool where the snobby adults are having one of their drab gatherings. This is the beginning of the suburbia war between the self titled elite and the unconceited souls.

Wild sex between adults and graphic violence weave there way into the plot, leaving a trail of dead bodies and mass destruction to the building.

"High Rise" is a war of clashing minds on an uncharted whelm of 5th dimension fantasy. Hiddleston shows off his no stranger to a gym physique while sleeping completely naked on his porch with only a book covering his daddy maker. The sexy single mom  directly on the floor above Hiddleston (Sienna Miller) invites him to a party she is having later that evening and this is the introduction to many friendships, no matter how weird they fester into.

No rating for "High Rise," you make the call. The story is too weird to truly summarize but the acting is fantastic.

"Lobster," also released Aug. 2 on DVD is arguably the weirdest movie ever made. Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is the mystery mind behind "Lobster," and his first English language movie and hopefully his last.

I relish dialogue and equally outside the box thinking and production on screen, but "Lobster" was lousy to say the least. Each and every character including the star Colin Farrell as David was mundane and self centered.

The characters in "Lobster" are exiled to a hotel . Marriage in this world, gay or straight is extremely enforced by the law. When divorce happens, the man or woman without a lover is forced to live in a twisted and lame hotel for 45 days. If no lover is found within that time, the person is transformed into an animal of their choice.

David, (Farrell) chooses to be a lobster in he cannot find a woman in 45 days. His reasoning is that lobsters live for about 100 years and are fertile their entire lives. Main characters are sadistically treated and some even killed, yet not one person in "Lobster" was more interesting then a filthy penny in the dirtiest part of a poorly kept land-fill.

Button line, as I watched this movie, I didn't care who lived, died or was unwilling transformed into an animal. Let the old jokes soar when talking about the film "Lobster."

"I've seen better film on teeth." / "I  would have walked away from this movie without a parachute on an airplane." Minus infinite stars for this horrible flick.      

Wage Slaves Are Blinded by The Media Messiah.

"Let's build a better tomorrow for our beloved children and our beloved country and when we do America will be greater than ever," Hillary Clinton said on national TV when she officially accepted the democrat presidential nomination.

Hope and change for a better future is idle talk and the lies that presidential nominees and presidents have been jabbering for centuries now is insulting to real thinkers.  The political system has always been geared for the rich and that will never change.

George Carlin, bless his immortal whimsical soul summed up America best, or any world power for that matter. America, Carlin said is divided into three classes; the rich who do very little work and pay even fewer taxes, the middle class who pays all of the taxes and does all of the work and the poor who are there just to scare the s*** out of the middle class, keep them showing up at those jobs.

Education, housing and cars are way over priced. Clinton and Donald Trump both talked about a fair shake for the working class, such as low cost college, but both candidates are in the presidential race for themselves. When they talk about a better future, they mean for themselves and the rest of the rich.

Both Clinton and Trump are supporters of war, neither candidate or any candidate ever that I know of has talked or made and effort for world peace, ending world hunger, implementing a plan for all solar instead letting the PG & E rape its customers with outrages prices.

'The men who hold high places, must be the ones who start, to mold a new reality', Talbot wrote for the band Rush in the band's 1977 song "Closer To The Heart."

"There Is a Solution For World Hunger," a July 11, 2013 blog " I wrote illustrates how world hunger can end, but way too many people are caught up in government lies and keep going to wars for these heartless leaders who send other peoples children to die for the almighty dollar.

In a real democracy, Americans would have dozens if not hundreds of legitimate candidates to vote for as president, yet every year we only get two choices and each year neither choice is much different then the other. Gasoline and oil are so primitive, and yet we continue to not allow the sun to provide all our electrical and vehicle needs. The rich get richer and blah blah blah...    

My Farewell Words, For Now, Can't Write When Your Dead

Caught in the triangle of politics, religion, science and superstition, aware of so many things, uncertain about everything.

A soaring spirit hurling through a tunnel of stars on a life long journey into the unknown.
Time limits the flesh and all its possessions. The uncool learn to detach and dream of a universe fit for them, one that embraces creativity and welcomes the wacky. The currency of laughter exists beyond Earth's insanity. Death's dreams seem more delightful than life's nightmares of famine, violent crime, poverty and greed.

At the dusk of middle age, dying is indeed easy, comedy is hard. Toward the end, I tried to do some good things such as donating blood, plasma, platelets and red blood cells for those physically less fortunate then myself.

Thus far, thank all the powers that be, myself, Eddie and Linda still inhabit the Earth. Besides myself, Eddie and Linda, both older then me are the last of the Schurr direct blood line. The countdown to Schurr extinction is well underway in the grand scheme of things. Why neither my brother Eddie or sister Linda had children is beyond me. Eddie and Linda, unlike myself are both successful, married and socially well adjusted.  

After my ashes have been dispensed into the frequent wavy waters of any ocean, (hint, hint!) reveal in the company of good friends and family and laugh long and often. Be as creative as possible. Remember, creativity is limited only to ones imagination.

Be creative in the kitchen when preparing and cooking a meal, continue to engage in happy hobbies, explore new ones. Realize art dwells in countless forms; writing, photography, hunting, gardening, cooking, sewing, drawing, painting and countless other things.

Before it's your time, travel a lot, even if it's to the same place every year. If you ever think about me when I'm gone, just remember in my world, ball games and barbecues will be the norm as I dwell in eternal youth under the stars and on the sands overlooking fabulous foliage and water falls with my lady, a true woman, passion pure, primitive lure.

My lady and I will argue about which parents we visit on Thanksgiving and Christmas while our five preschool aged daughters dominate on the basketball court and on stage acting and playing music. Yes, all five of my daughters will be adept at theater arts, writing and playing musical instruments.

Hours after the sun has set, our daughters are asleep and I've read another book, my luscious lover garbed in sexy sleep wear will enter our sleeping den. Seconds later our youngest daughter, the only one in paradise who has nightmares will insist on sleeping with us. Soon after I've left the bed, my wife and my daughter will be sound asleep side by side while I find a cold patch of the ocean to dive into while the starlit moon surrounded by transparent clouds smiles down on me.

Her, Again...

Love's eternal flame has once again lit my fuse of desire. Delicious desires that dissolve into the rivers of time and flow amidst the eternal stars where immortal dreams dance alongside copulating lovers. Her hair cascades down her bare beautiful breasts as she bites into natures candy often called fruit. Our bodies collided in ecstasy near the tropical water falls of paradise where babies are created. Her infectious laugh and alluring smile seep into my heart only to display kindness, beauty and truth. The fires of love she started singe the wings of heaven and bleed into eternity...
