m i that boy?
or the professor? or the Hollis-shtick wrappers Run (first of the 36 Strategems) and "never Dirty, Mostly Clean"? or the dj jmj*?
in the summer of '83, in the 法国森林school of performing arts, Shiva B taught me who were the Kings of the Rock Box.
Derek's noble attempt to de-shy me through traditional hypnosis would take years to kick in.
The wrestler of the woods and Big Hampton docs took good care of my arm, and two months my cast was removed. Collwyn's friend left me a tape, so that when i started lifting weights to regain my strength,
the Treacherous Three let me Feel the Heartbeat. (Maybe that's how pre-election debates should go :p )
In any case, the winking boy, now a chef in NYC, may soon activ8.

2m-or-2m or 2 hide in anne frank's closet
I am an independent. Yet the bad qi directed at Bush and Republicans ...
After Fatass9/11 came out I was slapped by a French woman, in front the group, at a party, for not hating Bush. But she was cute, and I can't be sure this was not her way of flirting.
Friend J went off and assumed friend A was the Enemy, merely because A did not hate Bush and did not explicity affirm his pro-choice stance. (Duh!) After 9/11 J had climbed aboard a vogon ship... with green hair...and petitioned for peace! A bold move, but ...
not all gestures of peace are well received.

i find it disturbing that more people aren't doing the kind of crazy shit i m. or maybe they r and i'm just out of the loop. that's my optimistic scenario. like it's so f-ing hard for obl to blog all they're doing, with just a few verbally transmitted (or better yet, cultural!) cues for which codes apply where.
and the gang with "4E" tattooed on their headlines is so eager to "win" this war, just as they "won" the Vietnam war with their show of force then, and the assistance of such "reporting for duty" heroes as John Kerry.

Martial Chinese Language Instruction

赵
My First-Year Chinese teacher during my second year at U of C, Professor Chao (but "really" it's Zhao4; he's from a Beijing family that escaped to Taiwan, where he grew up and lived for much of his life), recently retired, did not merely offer some words and patters for YOUR study and review. He did not accept mutual comprehensibility as his standard for learning. He DEMANDED excellent Beijing-style Putonghua from ALL students, even the ones who started off with Chinese backgrouds and mistakenly believed that would mean this would therefor be a breeze of a class. To prosper in his class, you had to enter a Chinese cultural realm, and if you pretended you were in America... those kids tended to find him officious and unbearable. My heart holds a special place for that man, and I hope to have the opportunity to catch up with him one of these months.
Which perhaps contributed to my excessive exhuberance 2 months ago when I found out the woman I was in the midst of a blind date with, who had many other attractive characteristics going for her as well, was a fellow "Zhao disciple" (to the extent that she did not object when I used such strong language)! I said too much, and I think she may have heard some kind of bad rumor, and ... there was no second date. Oh well.

Prof. Mary Carskadon at Brown did a spectacular job mentoring me for my Westinghouse (now Intel) Science Talent Search entry (as did great Stuy teachers like Mr. Farbstein).
She had me compose a questionaire survey on sleep habits and a questionaire survey on physical maturation, and then I got a four schools to have their Jr. Chai students distribute the surveys, and, with the extensive help of my grandmother&mom, compiled the data for statistical analysis, which btw confirmed that physical maturation correlates with eveningness (a propensity to sleep and wake later).
The kids at the religious school where I had attended kindergarten with DW dutifully answered all questions, no problem. The kids at the school that some of my hebrew school (i.e., as a supplement to secular school) classmates came from ... wrote things like "Die Pervert!")
This was while at the Brown HS Summer program (with kinder-yeshiva inner circle member DW, hs classmate MR, other kewl kids J,R,&S,DF,some others, a bodybuilder roommate for/with whom I composed the answering machine jingle "'eh yo I'm Charlie Cho' 'and I'm MattJaaaay...'

COMPEL the Chai to sink low IF ONLY on account of their CHAI!
Let alone a any potential angles of dismerit that may be observed and, by some narrative, connected with the enthusiasm/exhuberance/passion/motivation/fulfillment.
At least an Atheist has vim and vigor.
Of course what's best (compared to the fool who wears the full depth of his beliefs on his necklace) is the humble believer who has taken the infinite into his workaday interaction with the finite, and doesn't even make a big deal about it.
The minhagdim were brimming with merit, and when they were able to chill out their cognitive dissonance, they could accept that it was all 4 da besht.
Some folks train themselves to be more prepared for cognitive dissonance than they might otherwise be.
Such as the possibility that someone you thought was a zombie is actually Living no less than you, and just focused in a different area. Does not mean you do not have issues to resolve with them, and it's a framework for interpretation that facilitates measured, assertive responses rather than passive-aggressive fight or flight (mentally surrender).
And taking this perspective DOES NOT MAKE YOU a fool, a traitor, soft, weak, or anything like that, dumbass... for as the Chinese strategist says:
知己知彼百战百胜
Zhi ji, zhi bi, baizhan baisheng.
Know yourself, know your adversary, and of 100 wars [harsh symbol indeed], 100% will be victories!

Doing without saying is strong.
Not doing is weak.
Saying without doing is piggish.
Doing with saying is holy, not least because the pigs are going to send weak pawns to take you out.
And we all of us manifest each of these at times, and it's hard to SEE what someone's REALLY up to, so let's try not to overgeneralize in our classifications of people.

^D^sire!^ the firE
When I have presented "What is Napoleon Hill Philosophy?" to small groups, I have tended to emphasize the clarity of mind, and procedures and benefits surrounding that. What may merit more explicit clarification is the significance, after the Vision is Observed, of Kindling those few sparks of Observation-meets-Possibility-meets-desired-Objectives (you've INVOLUNTARILY recast u'r minds i and found it's an Op forwards AND backwards, [so you kindle them{being generous with the reader can go too far. that's like the floor dropping out from underyou when you just want to walk across the book...}again you can {hey how did you know...} KINDLE THEM]) into a small flame on the kindling wood (read "index cards", you hipster-PDA holding Getting Things Done afficianados out there), and ... then bringing the baby and then child flame to the bigger sticks of .... Is the Akeda ("sacrifice" of the child) meant to suggest facilitating the child's independent adulthood, and progressively relinquishing parental authority over him? ... a teen then adult project ... through writing up plans, talking to people, raising funds, etc., then hiring, running the biz, perhaps now answerable to a more rationalized board, and perhaps new demands for social conformity? .... and you've got to take those tiny spar ... spermarks ...and not let them drop into a bucket or out ur imagination's (depreciating) drainpipes but rather ... You Want ... to kindle this fire. You'll FIGHT TO DEFEND this fire from those who do not regard it as worth maintaining , and you'll keep yourself constantly on guard at the natural challenges of wind, rain, etc., knowing that the COSTS are going to add up ... perhaps exponentially, as debt, AND ... the most appreciation you'll get for it is "just doing your job" and the least is ... rather less favorable ... and you yet you choose, from that nastily pleasurable spermarktake on this challenge ("no gap").
Yeah and people have a really hard time with someone who's happy and motivated AND has good reasons for being so. Some of your clients and even (especially) prospective partners may tend to take the "kicking the tires" thing rather far! And the way to not let this phenomenon phase you is to (1) expect it, and (2) understand that YOU ARE NO BETTER IN THIS REGARD AND OFTEN WORSE YOU HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL AND JUDGMENTAL WORMDOG, so ... chill... stay focused AND chill and proceed in PMA. And if after all this introspection it is indeed THEM who are wontonly kicking at the tires, recklessly and without respect for the interests of others, what are the most suitable, and then cost-effective, means to bring this matter to a resolution.
And at the same time, you also keep in your mind (by explicitly reminding yourself and giving it at least several seconds of consideration) that you may have an Emergency Situation or a Physical Fight or Flight situation on your hands BOOM out of nowwhere anytime anywhere, and you must train your mind to respond to at least the most predictable forms of emergencies, by Molting into a POSITION of BALANCE (mentally and otherwise) such that you instantly say to yourself "OK, I am in an eMergency: OODAloops-" This is MUCH better than the average person's "Huh?!" or "AAAAH AAAAH!!!" or "Get me out of here!" You should be sure to practise the psychological emergency response for at least a Moment every morning.
And after you get into this habit you will be able to discern who among the people around you is awake and who is more zombielike.

Those piano lessons w/ Ms. Payne were not designed to be annoying but to show how to play your life like a wonderful concert.
*"I have no problem with the notion that the perceived pulse of the battlefield governs ongoing attitudes toward the wisdom of conducting war—only with the denial of that truth. Pericles, after all, was fined after both the plague and Spartans roaming the fields of Attica disabused once zealot supporters that “his” war was going to be short. And a motion for censure of Churchill in July 1942 was discussed when the British were depressed after the fall of France, Singapore, and Tobruk, and knowledge that neither Bomber Command nor British forces in North Africa had done much to check Hitler. In contrast, had the United States had a republic secure and up and running in Baghdad 3 months after the end of the three-week war, at a cost of say, 400, fatalities, missing Weapons of Mass Destruction and all other the other complaints would not have been real issues, as supporters would have pointed to the other 22 writs of war in the October 2002 Congressional resolutions that are as valid now as they were then."

I liked how Requiem for a Dream exploits the notion that true deep introspection into how weak and animalistic our own impulses can sometimes be ... is (1) comparable to looking at your own arm having to get cut off because of decisions YOU made, or to prostituting your lover to satisfy your desires, and (2) a good way to carry out teshuva (in addition to mitzvot, charity, name/city changes, etc.) might be to consider that you are GOING TO GET your Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame, and actually it MAY be rather more than 15 minutes, in fact you may be the star of the Juice show...where the well-coiffed host exposes your dirty laundry on the public stage, gleefully, because that's his job, with the smiling help of his beautiful and not brilliant assistant, and the cheers and whoops of the ccrowd(y). and heaven may be a place where you're either a spectator of the unfolding of the universed as influenced by your actions (and inactions) or you can take a reflective meditative (angelic?) trip on that. and when you trip you are as an angel flying among the living humans and interacting with them, and then you observe it was real, but by then you are back to the spectator position.
The Zombies are spectating; the Living are participating. When Bloomberg came to Hong Kong in '97 he warned of Privacy's loss. The cameras are everywhere. Internet records are everywhere. And only moore-so forward (unless we annihilate ourselves). Can we face the camera? I say we must make a psychological choice to face the camera, to live, to wake up, to desire the fire, and let her warmth and light bring us ever greater peace-in-the-workaday.

(I guess Da Funky Buddha may eventually become their course in Western ways. )
""Peace, peace, to the far and the near" (Isaiah 57:19).
This principle is also reflected by the tradition that when a non-Jew comes to convert, he is initially discouraged (Yevamos 47a). This is a consequence of his distance from holiness. However, the entire purpose of this initial discouragement is only to strengthen his resolve and draw him closer. For if after everything, he says, "I know that I am unworthy," that is, he recognizes his distance from holiness, then he is immediately accepted (Rabbi Noson Sternhartz, Likutei Halachos, Shilu'ach HaKan 5:17). In the Ultimate Future, speech will be perfected. Even the non-Jewish nations will use their power of speech to call out to God, as it is written, "For then I will convert the nations to a pure speech, that they shall all call upon the name of God" (Zephaniah 3:9). Thus, speech will be perfected. At present, speech is lacking and incomplete, for the whole world is not using the power of speech to call out to God. However, in the Ultimate Future, they will all use the power of speech to call out to God, even the non-Jewish nations. Then speech will be perfected. This is the aspect of "a pure speech," since everyone will use speech to call out to God (Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, Likutei Moharan I, 66:3)" xxxxx Just climb into your holirollers, turn on your mp3, deep breathe, stretch, go, pump up the music, swing, sing, dance, perform ... and let's get this party started.

Would you believe that the generic Chinese term of encouragement "Go on!" or "Go for it!" (comparable to Japanese 頑張って"gambatte!" [ok it's technically gaNbatte but why split hitoe])is 加油 jia1 you2, literally "add oil"; the same expression used in reference to cars -- "fill up the fuel tank (with oil)"; the gas station is a jia you zhan4 ("zhan4" means station). The personal expression of encouragement from one individual to another coincides with what we need the politicians to resolve globally. Reminds me of the quotation: If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron. ~ Spider Robinson Some others good ones from the wikiquote page I retrieved that from: Religion is no longer the opiate of the masses. It is the speed of the masses. ~ Akbar Ahmed [Maybe ludeness is the new opiate of the masses. & maybe it's hard to pull. Or maybe it's just Ice.] When a meteorite comes striking the face of Mother Earth, it's not about which religious group representing the world to battle it. Christianity, Buddhism, Islam...none will be able to do that. It is about all mankind and living things holding hand in hand, united in the battle against the 'war'. Religions are mere superstitions, used to explain the unexplainable in the past when people had no idea of what science is. ~ Edwin Mak [Nor will the scientists, pundits, and atheists caught up in their verbal war against religious groups...] A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. ~ Albert Einstein ['Nice job Albert, but next time show your work' (i.e., your unconscious mind that guides your actions, founded as it was upon the teachings of your trans-rational acculturation process)': C+.' :p * A religion that is small enough for our understanding would not be large enough for our needs. ~Arthur James Balfour [Sure but that takes many generations, and the cooperation of many parties, and even if your "true" religion started with "E(m)et", surely a good proportion of the OTHER silly false religions out there started with ... Napoleon-Hill-type missions.] All ... religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest. Test each sect by its best or its worst as you will, by its high-water mark of virtue or its low-water mark of vice. But falsehood begins when you measure the ebb of any other religion against the flood-tide of your own. There is a noble and a base side to every history. ~ Thomas Wentworth Higginson A religion, even if it calls itself a religion of love, must be hard and unloving to those who do not belong to it. ~ Sigmund Freud, Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego (1921) [Be sure to look REALLY far for confirmation of that, ol' Sig. It's not like you ever won any awards or anything...] *All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense. ~ Principia Discordia * Each religion, so dear to those whose life it sanctifies, and fulfilling so necessary a function in the society that has adopted it, necessarily contradicts every other religion, and probably contradicts itself. ~ George Santayana Forgive him, for he believes that the customs of his tribe are the laws of nature! ~ George Bernard Shaw I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. ~ Galileo Galilei I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds. One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it. ~ Bertrand Russell, Why I am not a Christian [Atheism makes men virtuous? If you really believed it were orthogonal, you would be spending this time fishing for math or something.] I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged. ~ Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Mrs. H. Harrison Smith (1816) I prefer rationalism to atheism. The question of God and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don't have to waste your time in either attacking or defending. ~ Isaac Asimov [But perhaps you still have to play your part in couth, diplomacy, enthusiasm, and other trans-rational wave-forms.] I tried to find Him on the Christian cross,but He was not there; I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere. I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the hights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either. I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond thair under-standing. I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that i saw him; he was nowhere else to be found. ~ Jelaluddin Rumi If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. ~ Robert H. Jackson [What of the (ever cheaper and smaller) cameras and (ever expansionist) internet, and the (rather difficult to cool) hot war (wherein even the Cartoon War was already lost!), and will we soon be confronted with the stark choice of whether Privacy merits radical therapy or euthanasia? May G-d help us preserve our constitution and this kewl tradition of heterodoxy!] "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters."

Hello esteemed readers! Perhaps you did not realize we are in the movie biz? Well some pros and intimates know, but this is surely news to some. We will release a high-end Hollywood production, and I will not be disappointed if it takes a few *years* for this, tentatively called “Napoleon Lives”... not about about the diminutive and high-achieving French executive, but rather about the rebirth of Napoleon Hill as a sububerhero “AMm” who will save the world. But as our Chinese friends say “Da Chu Zhuo Yan; Xiao Chu Zhuo Shou ,” which is just their way of saying “Think Globally; Act Locally”*, so we need to grab this year's Ymas season by the jollies, and that's just TWO MONTHS away, so we better get snap crackle and pooping on the emerging global BLOCKbuster (if by Who's in for what? * At a recent party in Shanghai, one guest was honored by another with the “Greatest-Ever Abuse of the Slogan 'Think Globally Act Locally' Award”, after he used it to justify his engagement in frivolous intimacy despite his desire to find a serious long-term relationship, perhaps because his Chinese was too good.

Option 1: We meet up 15 minutes before the start of the new Robin Williams film Man of the Year, and then proceed to walk, eat, or whatever? (Tomorrow's (Monday) 7:00PM showing at AMC Loews Lincoln Square (1998 Broadway)?) Option 2: We meet up at the time and place of your choice, take a walk, perhaps listen to my mp3 tunes together thru my spluniter. Option 3: Your suggestion? I'm kinda shy ... hope you don't hold it against me that I took so long to ask you out :) * From now until I learn of a more suitable method, "| |" marks will connote text editted since original posting, here to protect privacy.

Walid Shoebat's speech having been Columbiated, I was left to work through the rainstorm in Starbucks, seated here two tables from the window. When the gorgeous and classy blonde woman siting alone in front of me at the table facing the window blessed my sneezes, and I asked her if she was enjoying the (foggy window) view, she said it was like looking into the clouds. Since she would not share her personal cloudreadings with me, I just asked her to let me know if she found any messages for the world there, and she made the same request of me. Aha! I went and drew the omloops on the window. She said it looked like a rejected pretzel! (Fantastic!) And when I mentioned the paperclips, she brought up the paperclip guy (the guy who started with one big red paper clip and traded it up until he got a house!), who apparently is getting movie and book deals! Deborah was very sweet in conversation too, and before her partners came, she promised to get in touch with me :)

You may find my concerns peripheral. Or perhaps I am being asked to agree to terms that may be stated a bit too broadly, and you would find surprising harmony in my views if your concerns were expressed in the right terms. Here's the bigger pic, as I can c it: Imho, the NYTimes, CNN, and the Academy need the interventions they are in the process of receiving. In our two-party system it's the Democrats' job to right Republican errors and excesses, and when they had the opportunity, their alternative was a man who opposed Gulf 1, whose position on Iranian nukes was merely that threatening Iran does not help, and who pitched himself as a soldier reporting for duty on the basis of his Vietnam experience while the highlight of such was his public lambasting of his fellow American soldiers as Genghis-Khan-like maniacs. When MMoore's F911 came out, we saw the good people around saying "Aha, got 'em!" who would indulge the lies and innuendos of a fat-white-male-excoriating fat white male who claims "There is No Terrorist Threat" in their eagerness to have it be Bush's fault. (If only!) I still have cool, nice, smart friends coming to me with their partial (or more) belief in the credibility of various 9/11 conspiracy theories, and witness demonstrations for such when I visit my brother in Union Square. I think they need interventions, but they're not getting 'em. [I have had reasonable success sharing Occam's Razor with friends.] Even the US (let alone more Vichy parts of the world) is in a Britain '30s consciousness, awaiting "Peace in Our Time", and shouting down the Churchills among us, as the Brits did. The Enemy is neither "the Muslims" nor "the Nazis"; it is the scumbags I never said Bush IS solving (or can solve!) these problems. I can understand a good deal of frustration with Bush, and the other day I forwarded the NYTimes editorial on Bush's countless failings. Yet with all the hate (I was in NYC for 9/11) and de Nile around, I generally feel more compelled to defend than to cut and run. More than that, however, I feel compelled to tell it like it is, and unify people around better, and non-partisan (third party, even!) solutions to the problems we face together. And imho a spiritual renewal of OUR society (and theirs) is part of the elegant dignified alternative (or complement) to the military solution. This is the kind of thing a good Democratic Party should be aiming for, but their lack of credibility (and ideas) and BDS overwhelm them. Thats why even (gay?) Jewish LibDems like Ed Koch are with me. Are the facts kept secret from him? Is he paranoid because he's a Jew? They would never have let me know in school that the author of "A World Without Jews" was not Hitler ... indeed the book was written in the late 19th century ... by that grandson of rabbis, Karl Marx! The world has a Jewish problem! And now it's in a river in Egypt. And just because we're paranoid doesn't mean we do not have headchopping maniacs (and their intimidated collaborators) after us. Chai I shine into the light, on pain of horrible death if necessary. I will be a happy Jew, and I will strive with all my body, heart, soul, and mind for good solutions ["my Jhead"]. -mD On Tue, 10 Oct 2006, Paris in Springtime wrote: [Hide Quoted Text]

Judaism is not just a set of obscure restrictions that g-d and certain social groups seek to push, but Judaism may be understood as something like a martial art, beginning with (right) actions, emphasizing balance and flexibility of the body (not bad symbols for philosophical balance and flexibility), extending to the rules of graphical, verbal, and physical engagement (including when and how combat is to be engaged, avoided, or flipped), and beyond that, to spiritual principles. Like Napoleon Hill's philosophy, Martial Judaism is about clearing the mind of negative thoughts to focus on your greatest goals and pursue them the right way, with joy and determination. MJ is a formulation that may suggest to more people what personal fulfillment, mental focus, and indeed power and influence (soft power, ideally) the Torah teaches. MJ offers more room for the perplexed naďve adult who does not want to be drawn away from his family and society as he re-connects with and explores the lessons of our heritage. (While some adult Jewish learning institutions may seek to shove the curious prospective Bal Teshuva to black hat married with 12 kids in Israel posthaste, Rabbi Shalom says the Rebbe says that in accordance with the principles outlined by the Bal Shem Tov, the purpose of our activities is not to take you away from your family and society, but to offer a path to greater access to the spirituality and depth available in life and help you be a better Jew wherever you are.) Martial Judaism may help forge new bonds across the bland spectrum of greater-lesser observance, political conservatism-liberalism, etc., and may resonate with a plurality of Jews, as well as with the global philosemite. Some influences that helped Matthew Jacobson find MJ (aside from family, teachers, colleagues, friends, and rabbis): - 10 years in Asia; - Yoga practice and exposure to wrestling and various martial arts; - participation in and exposure to successful entrepreneurial ventures; - Napoleon Hill's brilliant secular exposition on the care, feeding, and aims of spirituality; - a powerful talisman called Omloops; - the facts of the war (even the US still in denial; we already lost the cartoon wars, etc.); - a little-known opportunity to hasten the achievement of a dignified and victorious peace.

It's an oral history.

Until Moses finally gets it down on lambskin. But lambskins wear out, and need to be recopied. Copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of an oral history passed down through 40 generations.
From Hebrew it's translated into Arabic, from Arabic to Latin, from Latin to Greek, from Greek to Russian, from Russian to German, from German to an old form of English that you could not read.

who have been infusing with Naziism the Abrahamic faith of Islam, a religion of peace that Maimonides recognized as part of the divine plan. They are about as subtle about it as the severed Jewish heads they celebrate in their promo videos. And we're so good at that river in Egypt that we managed to quietly lose the cartoon wars (see Southpark). The NYTimes excoriated the Pope for pissing off Muslims in the context of a speech on religious tolerance, etc., etc. There's a reason Noam Chomsky is celebrated as a hero on a fascist website, and shares a scary alignment with the positions of David Duke.
