philosophy lurks where?

2-11journal-collage.jpgI said I’d be back…I decided not to look for anything else to anagram, since I already had used this comic in the collage, I went for the anagram I saw in it.

The text, “And when we return, we’ll find out exactly who our anthropomorphic sun-mascot thingy thinks he’s winking at” translated one time to reveal, “WWW heard philosophy can lurk in comic text…we thank holy mountain water, it’s strengthening us…we found horn.”

Oh, I know I wrote something controversial, but it has meaning to me…maybe to someone else out there. Have you ever heard to beware ”philosophy”. I just report what I see, and sometimes change it.

The white death cleared the grocery store shelves today downtown. My friend Darlene was kind enough to drive me on some errands today, and Walmart was on the list for her, so I asked if she minded taking me to pick up some things. I cleared a few leftovers out of the fridge and realized I was out of most things, so why not do the weekly shopping. I didn’t realize the white death thing applied here, so that everyone and their grandmother would be out clearing the shelves. Not a problem really, but interesting.

I also discovered that Walmart’s lighting system gives me a migraine aura. My dentist’s office is the only other place I have that problem. I guess there is something in the bulb makeup that sets me off. I have the problem every time I go there. I know I am senstive to some things but …hmmm, I think I saw that in a cartoon someplace today…

Also while in Walmart, my friend (Darlene) and I happened to find a lane with no wait, go figure, and so we merrily went about our way; I asked her to go before me, then I put my things up on the conveyor. The woman behind me did not use the plastic bar between our orders so a few items went through before I noticed and then I told the cashier my order stopped at the milk. No problem, she just started taking the other items back off, maybe two things, no big deal, and we thought nothing of it. No one said anything nasty until the woman behind us started saying well, if there was a problem she could just go someplace else, and I guess she must’ve had her undies in a bunch. I almost said, gee why don’t you? Her attitude was totally uncalled for. No one DID anything to her.

I turned to her and said, none of US was having a problem with it, and then I loudly thanked the cashier for catching that and taking care of it for me. They have enough going on without rude shoppers attacking them. It was one of those things where you just want to wring the person’s neck for being such an idiot. She was lucky she didn’t have to wait in one of the lines with fifteen people in front of her. It’s no wonder I don’t like shopping there very often. But of course, if I notice the lights bother me…hmmm, I wonder if they make other people nasty? That would explain a lot of shoppers I have seen there.

So, with our errands completed we came back and I made a nice dinner for the beau and loaded up the woodstove. Darlene’s husband came over move some of the new wood under the porch to the basement for me. Going under the porch is difficult with my vestibular problem, so this is quite helpful to me.  As soon as he was done it began to snow. It’s beautiful outside now! Who needs philosophy when winter delivers millions of individual snowflakes!

Tell me there is someone with the same sense of humor I have…I just picked up a new ice bag Saturday and one of today’s cartoons has an ice bag on the computer…

Last night, at church, we had a visiting pastor tell about Pilgrim Missions in Santa Domingo. He was there telling us about some of the needs, in particular they need a new tent to worship in. Part of his discussion had to do with a little history, and he said that years ago the islanders were cannibals (when Christopher Columbus landed there and a long time thereafter) and that it took a while for people to make inroads with their spiritual missions.

Today’s Rubes comic strip has cannibals in it.

Yesterday I wrote that I was using the strange brew cartoon wherein the anthropomorphic dog told they didn’t know what to do with the clock (thus it was only a conversation piece). I also wrote about the pastor talking about time...so I laughed when I saw today’s Strange Brew cartoon (see in post philosophy lurks where?) uses the word anthropomorphic in the text, coincidentally.

Since the pastor was talking about the Caribe Indians being cannibals years ago, I found a link that says that there were cannibals there.http://www.treasurelore.com/florida/dominica_treasure.htm

and a book that mentions Santa Domingo and the possibility of cannibals (http://books.google.com/books?id=XsHB69txxdEC&pg=PA49&lpg=PA49&dq=cannibals+in+santa+domingo&source=web&ots=DEbITQtCWT&sig=X7qKlp6e05-75GeI8I6W06Eno00#PPA49,M1) I have no definitive opinion on that, but just make the connection today because I heard that last night, and there is a comic strip with cannibals in it today.

No anagrams yet…but I’ll be back.

Dont' stop with one post! This is one of those blogs where you need to go back a few entries in order to connect some of the anagrams, comics, or collages, as is often the case of art imitating life. Some of the anagrams are outstanding coincidences of that which occurs in daily life. Give it a try!

Why I'm here...

A friend told me I should blog here. I use Cosmic Bubbles to make a connection between an inner and outer world, where comics anagram to a functional place in my life. I write in nexus form, (at least that is what I call it) because one thing builds on another generally. I am led to use my senses in ways most people might not, because I am aware of a natural presence, I guess I should say. I talk to God, Jesus, ET, the Big Guy, "them." Some may now say, OK, let's move on, find another blog, this woman is just nuts (something I may have said a few years back myself). But you might not...you might just find something else a little eerie, a little fun, spooky maybe in an Einsteinian way. Tying anagrams to daily life or a continuing series of concepts may just give you another perspective, allowing you to become a bit more aware of yourself in the scheme of things. It is always better to go back a few posts because one post alone doesn't really tell you what is going on here. What does go on is a connection, where sometimes I write a thought and I hear something on TV to clarify the thought I just had. Yes, I believe thoughts are real things, they manifest in ways I did not know about until the past couple of years. I used concrete examples, documenting as best I can as things occur, so people can see the synchronicity of the moment, the coincidence as it were, if you believe things are so random. Well, I believe all things are possible, and I show that every day in some small way.
