my careless contagion

Save Your Tears by The Weeknd was a popular pop song a few years ago. Can't say I know much about the artist, other than he probably sold his soul to the devil, but, hey, that's how you do business in show business. Digressing far too early. It's the weekend. So let's listen to The Weeknd!  This song is a typical "love" song where love isn't involved at all, obscuring true love and substituting a vile replacement. It's a heartbreak song. It's a lost-something song. Maybe it was love but probably not. Anyway, it's gone. I just like the music. The lyrics are bleak. That's one thing about popular music. The music and lyrics don't agree, carrying two different experiences. Maybe that's why I often make up my own damn lyrics. Y'all be putting poison in your songs.  This video is preferred to the official because it isn't grotesque. It's just some cars doing some choreography while the the singer sings his hit song.

Lewis Carroll photographed with a bevy of young children. Lewis Carroll is the pen name of a man named Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known most for writing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass . He died in 1898, so why is he still relevant? Is what he wrote that important? What is his legacy? Unfortunately, his legacy is a dark one.  This is not going to be an exhaustive account of the man's legacy. It is simply my thoughts on why he is still relevant today. Much has been written about the man and his legacy, and I don't intend to add another tome. However, as I was watching a movie last night (considered a horror film, which wasn't scary), this man's legacy reared its ugly head yet again. In the film, there was a ghost by the name of Alice, and her father's ghost's name was Henry. This was too much of a coincidence. As anyone who knows anything about Carroll and his Alice in Wonderland, there was a real-life girl named Alice. A...

I'm going to do something I rarely do, which is recommend those still reading this blog watch the above documentary called " Out of Shadows ," which runs about an hour and 20 minutes. This video has been put in front of me three times recently (it's making the rounds, apparently), which made me take notice, as my spirit halted me. Regardless of my convictions, though, decide for yourself whether or not the video is worth watching. It ends on a hopeful note, which is important because there is always hope. Nothing here is shocking to me. It talks about the following themes: CIA and NSA (US government in general) disinformation campaigns, occultism, Hollywood, mind control, politics, various so-called conspiracies such as Operation Paperclip, etc. Most of this information is extremely dated, as I've been aware of much of it most of my life. However, it is packaged well and is a good introduction to walk in a new awareness of reality. The subject matter is so br...
