First off, let me tell you why I use twitter.  I use twitter because it allows me to communicate with the maximum number of people with shared interests.  These interests vary greatly, and would take more than this simple post to expound upon.

Okay, so you and I both use twitter.  I follow you.  You don’t follow back for whatever reason.  Soon you are gone.  My timeline is for conversation.  conversation requires two people.  If you are not returning my follow, you are not seeing what I am saying, and thus not actively participating in the conversation.  You’re off my list, fast as possible.  I’m not going to waste my time or yours on a one sided conversation.  End of story.

Okay, so you use twitter.  You follow me.  I don’t follow you back.  Why?  Many reasons.  First thing is to ask yourself if you ever actually talk.  I don’t follow people that only link to their other sites.  Secondly, you should look at your follower to followee ration.  If you follow 4,000 people, and only 300 people follow you, I’m not gonna be one of them.  You can only listen to so many people and give a damn and any given time.  Another reason.  Are all of your posts about free give aways or making money online?  I’m not interested.  I get enough spam to my gmail, thanks.  And the final reason.  You have not posted any tweets.  How can i decide if I want to follow you without seeing what you have to say?

How do I keep up?  I use qwitter and friendorfollow.

All things balance. If you wish to be ‘reborn’ you have to die first.

“Ask and you will receive.” Pretty common quote. Apply that to your thoughts for this class. The first step to finding the religion that is inside you is to ask for it.

Think about your past. Is it a bit murky? We lose memories everyday. That’s why you have to try so hard to make new ones.

Just felt like that needed to be said by someone. That’s today’s Lesson.

If you don’t like it, don’t believe it.

The humans are too silly, and they don’t seem to last like his family. But he can’t just take over a spot in the family. Not even if he wanted to. Cousin Crow laughs a lot, works on instinct than brains though. Brother Eagle takes himself way too seriously. Father Roc has been missing lately, but he wouldn’t want that role either. Sister Seagull? Raven had never really liked fish. Sure, he could call to his land Cousins, be Tiger for a while, or maybe Wolf. Old Man Coyote is completely mad they say. But Raven had a peculiar appetite for knowledge.

The silly humans might be the idea, they seemed to appreciate knowledge.

Raven knew many things and many people. He was Hugin and Munin, after all. Old Odin would know what he should do to become a human. Odin knows everything.

Raven went to Odin. “Oh, Odin, All-Father, what might Raven do to become human for a while? I have brought you much knowledge, and my question is within reason of an answer”

Odin laughed for a very long time. If Raven had any strength at all, it was patience.

When Odin stopped laughing, he grabbed Raven by the wings. Odin threw Raven at the ground with all of his strength, which is pretty hard, even for an old god like Odin. Raven’s eyelids closed for the first time ever.

Raven felt the impact and a strange pain. Raven stood up! STOOD! He was human!

And then… Some other stuff.

Car wreck, pick up, beer is good. Never trust a fucking hippy. People that I love. Drama, sleepless nights, love, hate, confusion, games people play, Dreaming in circles. Walnut Street Bridge. Drive a car off the edge, soon.

Chris LeDoux was a golden man. God bless Chris LeDoux and all the men like him. There are so few.

Rodeos and bucking bulls, marijuana, telephones, sweet amphetamine. Ryan Adams does that things with writing that every one else wishes they could do, except of course, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty, because they do that kind of writing.

Help your heart go solo and forget about your cares. I draw close to Japanese pop music at 7AM on a Monday, and things start to turn a little scary.

George W. Bush once said “We having a saying in Texas..” followed by some dumb shit that didn’t make since. Mambo #5.

Strawberry cocaine, Camel cigarettes, and a pocket full of Valium. I might be doing alright today. Have you ever seen the last remaining pieces of the Berlin Wall? It’s probably the most beautiful thing in the world. It’s a testament to the kindness and the brutality of mankind all at the same time. I’ll have to find a picture.

No links in this post. Not yet. Add later. 2012. Mayan calender. It’s said their calender was more accurate than our current Gregorian calender. I don’t doubt this. We screwed up our calender so bad we have to add an extra day every four years. I’ve been told February 29th is the unofficial Robert Anton Wilson Day. I’ll drink to that.

2012. The last year on that calender. Cataclysm and all that mess. Right, whatever. Bring it on. I’m ready for rapture, whether I go or not, atleast we’d all get some straight answers.

To end this, for everyone who’s ever told me to make a market for myself, to find my niche, NO. I’ll write what I want, when I want, and fuck all else. If someone likes it, great. I didn’t write this for you, I wrote this, and everything else for me.

Just wake up.
