H





King Heroin is my shepherd, I shall always want. He maketh me to lie down in the gutters. He leadeth me beside the troubled waters. He destroyeth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of wickedness for the effort’s sake. Yea, I shall walk through the valley of poverty and will fear all evil for thou, Heroin, art with me. Thy Needle and capsule try to comfort me. Thou strippest the table of groceries in the presence of my family. Thou robbest my head of reason. My cup of sorrow runneth over. Surely heroin addiction shall stalk me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Damned forever.

Author unknown, “The Psalm of the Addict.”—Congressional Record, July 31, 1971, vol. 117, p. 28511.

A newspaper clipping of this was found with the body of a young woman suicide in Rockingham County, North Carolina, and it was subsequently reprinted in an editorial in the Morganton, North Carolina, News-Herald, May 12, 1971.

A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke



If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the



discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for



opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism. The dead drug



leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house.

What is porn?

And why eRt isn't porn?

Verbal or visual material or acts that embody violence, coercion, discrimination, force or brutality on women, men, children, or animals in sexual acts, and represent them in a degrading position.



Pornography sometimes shortened to porn or porno, is the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity with the goal of sexual arousal. It is similar to, but distinct from erotica, which is the use of sexually arousing imagery used for artistic purposes only




Sexually explicit material: films, magazines, writings, photographs, or other materials that are sexually explicit and intended to cause sexual arousal




I think that Justice Stewart (of the U.S. Supreme Court) that said something like "I can't define porn but I know it when I see it."

Really?

Sleep with the Fishes


We sail in a ship and the timbers are weak
Through the storm clouds the rainbows the rainbows we seek

We sail for horizons that one day will end
To sleep with the fishes on that we depend



We sail in a ship and the timbers are weak
Through the storm clouds the rainbows the rainbows we seek

We sail for horizons that one day will end
To sleep with the fishes on that we depend



The storm when it breaks we shiver with fear
In our bowels we do know we'll face no new year

We sail for horizons that one day will end
To sleep with the fishes on that we depend



The sea rips us open like a vice cracks a nut
Like a bum is cut down by a left upper cut

We sail for horizons that one day will end
To sleep with the fishes on that we depend

Project P

These good-natured pets are big. Caring for them requires space and a mellow attitude about the lawn and home.






Provide a warm, dry, draft-free environment such as a large doghouse, with plenty of blankets and straw, if your pig is kept outdoors. The more blankets, the happier the pig.




Provide your pig with a child's swimming pool filled with water for cooling down when it's hot. Apply sunscreen (the type used on humans) if your pig often gets sunburned ' pig hair doesn't offer much protection.


Fingers


Thy fingers make early flowers of
all things.
thy hair mostly the hours love:
a smoothness which
sings,saying
(though love be a day)
do not fear, we will go amaying.


thy whitest feet crisply are straying.
Always
thy moist eyes are at kisses playing,
whose strangeness much
says;singing
(though love be a day)
for which girl art thou flowers bringing?


To be thy lips is a sweet thing
and small.
Death,Thee i call rich beyond wishing
if this thou catch,
else missing.
(though love be a day
and life be nothing, it shall not stop kissing).

The Logical Conclusion

Zeus as a Lion

WE BELIEVE THAT

Inspiration cannot be invented; it comes from God through nature. The true artist works primarily for the God he believes in, secondly for himself, simply doing what he feels he must do.

The artist must learn to allow his hand to do as his soul commands without letting his brain get in the way.

He must live to paint not paint to live. His purpose is to permanently enrich the world.

The Artist is the tool of the God in which he believes; his purpose is to help others see the incredible beauty that is bestowed upon us.

True Artists are the luckiest and richest people alive, having been given the gift of sight and vision; their Art is the sharing of that gift.
