Dreams of the Fertile Crescent.

“The difference between a Flower and a Weed is EXACTLY and ONLY this: The Choice of the Gardner” – Vergere

---

Not sure if many people realize this but I am a rather large fan of the Natural Sciences. I enjoy Nature in general terms, its essence, and just to observe it.

Been thinking of actually putting into production some exterior related projects I have been doing some research on.

I feel the need to put some work into my yard lately. I usually just let it grow for a while then cut it down. But you see I perform no maintenance on my yard. I dislike the idea of grass that Floridians devote so many resources and time to.

People don’t like weeds and other native plants. But I find these things actually quite charming. Not to mention they are able to survive the Florida harsh summer with minimal water drain on the total energy system. This is very important. It doesn’t seem like it but Florida’s fresh water resources are rather strained. And the idea of wasting perfectly good potable water on watering a damn lawn is anathema to me. Don’t even get me started on water conservation….but I digress. I know such talk turns some people off. I am a secret environmentalist at heart.

But any way I want to start a few things, a garden, first of all. A spider farm as well (~_^). But that is for another post. What I want to do right now is to start to spruce up my yard. But using mostly local/Florida based plants. Finding sources is not going to be that hard actually. There are many a yard still going untended by our financial collapse. I may have to poach materials from the many foreclosed properties around town. Feeding off of dead men’s dreams as it were (~_^)

But My dream is for my Yard to look like the secret garden. “The secret garden?” You say, “What is that?”

Well the secret garden is a place I found once at work. I was surveying a ladies yard doing an estimate on her house. I needed to get pictures of her exterior of her house. She let me out into the back saying “Please forgive my terrible backyard. It is unkempt. So I expected the worst. What I found as an emerald dream hidden in that worn down neighborhood. It was not the typical backyard of the drone-like “Dad shorts” wearing Sararimen we all become. It was a place of wild growth and beauty. Butterflies and bugs of all types flew about from flower to flower. Bees buzzed about pollinating their charges. (Do you know how rare bees are in our over productized factory yards?) Wild flowers and weeds bloomed everywhere. It spelled incredible too. I told her than she had one of the most beautiful back yards I had ever seen. This poor lady must have thought I was mocking her. (-_-);

That secret garden. This place that exists now only in my picture. Is what I seek to recreate in my own yard.

Grifter's Tip: Planning

I cant stress this enough.

In adittion to your Main plan you must have a Back-up Plan, a Contingency Plan, and an Emergency Plan.

If things are looking really iffy it is also advisable to have GOTH. A Gone to Hell Plan.

Degradation of Systems....

"There is always a prevailing mystique in any civilization. It builds itself as a barrier against change. And this barrier always leaves future generations unprepared for the universes treachery."

The problem is most people don’t distinguish between mystique and their universe.

Look at the most socially constricting Societies, like the Victorians. They created a certain way of life because of the trials and terrors they themselves went through.

But that system eventually degrades and dies. Why?

Because their children were brought up in the system but did not come to it as the parents had. Through trial.

They had been indoctrinated to it.

Thus they never made a choice for themselves they were never prepared to guard their minds against the movement of infinity. Thus the societies children became nothing more than empty figurines. Poorly adaptable to change. And nothing but corrupted copies of what their parents wanted for them.

Think about this when you consider when something is socially “appropriate.” There must always be that Test.

All I want to find is a decent Cape! Is that so hard to ask?

For some time now I have been trying to find a certain garment. A cloak or cape.

No not for Halloween or anything. But to wear about town. You see much like the cowboy hat or scabbard on the belt, I am trying to bring the Cape back into everyday fashion.

The cape is a grand garment, it invokes in a person a sense of dignity, odes to history and a time of honor, and it well just looks fething cool.

Seems strange to see a guy wearing a cape and a cowboy hat? Shit I see people walking around with those stupid ass looking Mohawks now so why is a cape strange? I mean if I had a Mohawk like those guys wear now I would have been laughed out of town in the 90s. Okay so maybe I was, F U C K you high school. Anyway back to the capes.

My problem has been trying to procure the right type of cape. There are many types, the cloak, the cape, different eras to consider, fabric, types of hang to consider. How will it match my clothes….

Ideally I want a Lando Calrissian cape, but the bedoiun styled desert cloak is kind of appealing. Old school Victorian Era? Not sure. I guess I need to procure a nice decorative cane as well.





Procuring a cape/cloak is another HUGE problem. I cant find a decent one to save my life. The ones you get online are iffy at best, I want something of real fabric and nice construction. The costume type stuff on the internet is not going to do. Might have to find a good tailor.

Ideas

A yes bedouin style!


I think we have a winner!


Good design but I might go with a darker color, black or dark blue


Fremen style


Would like to see more of these in Fashion


Now this is pretty damn amazing. The Moorish Prince.


Really would like this one. Pretty good for an upscale kind of look


Okay will keep you posted on the progress of my search.

The million dollar idea!

In my life I have stumbled upon a few ideas that I just know, KNOW will make me rich.

Ah people think of a certain thing when they think of the Million dollar idea. But that is were we differ. Trust me, there are many million dollar ideas out there and many of them can be so mundane that you will consider shooting yourself in the head with rusty hollow point bullets because you didn’t think of it first.

Aye the best million dollar ideas are add-ons or slight mods to shit that already exists.

[]That little turkey baster that you can put in plants and auto water them…. Yep already patented and over a million dollars.

[]Spoon with fork modification, yep patented by some douche and he got super rich off of it,

[]New process for making ketchup bottles and saving 4 seconds in production time. Patented and rich as balls.

[]Dude decided hey lets put a trash can out side the Sonics, Mc Donalds drive through. Million bucks.

[]Hey if you make the beer/soda cans mouth a little wider, it pours better and is easier to drink. SUPER Rich now.

See I am always that guys that sees these things and thinks to myself. Wow that’s a million dollars right effing there. Then I punch my knee hard. Cause it was such a simple idea.

I myself have quite a few ideas that I think might just do it for me. (LOL you really think I am gonna tell you?). Got a few of them too. I actually have even forgotten 3 or 4 million dollar ideas. One of my ideas I though I saw in the “As seen on TVs” aisle at CVS. I almost died a little until I realized that it was, in fact, something that looked like one of my ideas but was total FAIL.

I am still Future Rich Bitch!

Alcoholization: Ferment This Bitch!

Alcohol

One of mankinds oldest and most sweetest of friends.

Folks the old dog has been with us for perhaps as long as civilization. One of the more magnificent of accidental inventions we have discovered.

A little history. Our friends like beer and wine have been produced as far back as 9000 years ago. And was used for more than just recreation. In fact it was more safer to drink fermented drinks than water in certain early civilizations because of the contam factor of the water! Beer and Wine was a part of diet and used medicinally in certain cultures.

Ah but say that to some and their face sours.

True alcohol has a bad rep but like many things with a bad reps its not really the drugs fault no. It’s the fact that we as humans cant handle our own inner drives. Most laws concerning alcohol weren’t developed just by guys sitting around thinking of good laws… hell no. They were invented because Human’s, not alcohol, fucked up big so we had to make sure it didn’t happen too much. (Which when you just think how many people YOU know who get DUIs you realize is a farcical though right there.)

Well shit I ended up ranting.

Okay next time I will look more into the effects of Alcoholization on me.

FIN!
