ADOPT-A-HOMELESS!


Just so you ALL KNOW…I have technically been HOMELESS (or “Houseless”, as some of them prefer to be called!) for over 3 YEARS NOW –TRUST ME, it is NOT EASY! Being HOMELESS is ONE of the BIGGEST FEARS in this country (*but not other countries!) and I am LIVING IT but YOU probably are not even AWARE that I am HOUSELESS because SOME of MY FRIENDS and SEVERAL STRANGERS have ADOPTED ME!
Especially Melissa Pabst and Myan Binder--who were once STRANGERS!!!

And in many places, even OUR NATION’S CAPITAL, the HOMELESS are STILL TREATED MUCH like the LEPERS were treated in JESUS TIMES.
Jesus and the Leper
 
There have been MANY MORNINGS, where I wake up (in LA, St. Louis, Miami, Reno, Shasta, Chico, Reykjavík, Ojai, etc.) and I have NO IDEA where I will be staying that same night, but somehow I STILL MANAGE to HAVE FUN and BE of SERVICE to OTHERS…but IMAGINE what I could DO CREATE, BE of SERVICE, IF I did not have to worry about where I am going to sleep each night?!!!   *And who KNOWS what or how THAT HOMELESS DUDE or GAL you see regularly “loitering” could DO, CREATE or BE of SERVICE to Life and Love?

To this day, I STILL don’t understand WHY we, the UNITED STATES, one of the WEALTHIEST (Developed) COUNTRIES in the world (“America! Fuck Yeah!”) have HOMELESS, when I have LIVED in muy POOR (Less Developed) COUNTRIES (ie, Tanzania, Dominica, Honduras, parts of CHINA, etc.) and THEY DO NOT have a HOMELESS POPULATION…WTF?!   Or WHY we have SO MANY EMPTY, UNOCCUPIED HOMES and BULDINGS all over the country but yet NO SQUATTER RIGHTS like they do all over EUROPE!  

Therefore, I am suggesting the ADOPT-A-HOMELESS PERSON movement as just ONE possible SOULution, out of many possibilities, because as far as I can tell, the homeless population has RISEN since my first encounter with the HOMELESS, growing up in Washington DC.  **Ask my mother--  even in middle school, throughout high school and even my ONE year at Boston University…I consistently volunteered at Homeless Shelters in Northern SubUrban VA, DC, South Philly (!) and Boston! *And it BREAKS my HEART that we have not TRANSFORMED this STORY yet.

NOTE to DC: IF I were PRESIDENT, I would stay in a LUXURY SUITE at the Watergate Hotel or such, and TURN the WHITE HOUSE into a OUR HOUSE, open to whomever needs SHELTER--seriously! 

Just IMAGINE if everyONE who SAYS they “care” about HOMELESSNESS, were to ACTUALLY CARE for a HOUSELESS PERSON!  

I can see how ADOPTING a HOMELESS PERSON would REDUCE PETTY CRIMES (The Homeless are not stealing your new 80 FT Television Screen—I mean, where are they going to put it?!);  ADOPTING a HOMELESS PERSON would significantly INCREASE NEIGHBORHOOD BEAUTY, SAFETY and SECURITY; and SAVE TAX PAYERS a lot of bloody $MONEY$!
I once was ADOPTED by a FARM!  Lucky ME! *Thanks Jimmy and Macai!

  *I think you would be very surprised how EXPENSIVE EMERGENCY HEALTH CARE for a SICK or INJURED HOMELESS PERSON costs YOU, dear TAX PAYER!  Or a NIGHT in JAIL…which is where A LOT of HOMELESS end up for lack of place to stay. (But don’t listen to me, go do your own ECONOMICS 101 homework!) Also look up how the MORMONS in UTAH are HEALING the HOMELESS POPULATION---YEAH MORMONS!!!

And please KNOW that ADOPTING-A-HOMELESS does not mean you have to give them a whole room in your house (*even though that would be something JESUS/Allah and Buddha would do!) but just ACKNOWLEDGING them, SEEing THEM as PEOPLE…and since I have spent A LOT of my LIFE among the HOMELESS in THIS COUNTRY, I KNOW there are POETS, MUSICIANS, HEALERS, ENGINEERS, lots of highly SKILLED VETS…actually every single ONE of them was truly GIFTED in a UNIQUE way and I SEE the HOMELESS POPULATION as a VALUBALE (untapped) RESOURCE to US ALL IF they have their BASIC and most importantly, EMOTIONAL NEEDS MET and guess what?!  It does really START with YOU and ME!  We can ALL START by REGULARLY COMMUNICATING, authentically CONNECTING, CHECKING in on OUR HOUSELESS NEIGHBORS which is the TRUE DEFINITION of LOVE and CHARITY. 

And just so you know, at this very moment, CREATION STATION, which is a Visionary Community House and Non Profit Office in Cha Cha Chapmantown, Chico, has ADOPTED ME for the past week-ish…which ALLOWS ME the time, space and safety to write this blog and BE of SERVICE to YOU.

I would also like to take this OPPORTUNITY to THANK everyONE who has HOSTED ME over the PAST 3 YEARS…YOU are ALL PIONEERS in the ADOPT-A-HOMELESS MOVEMENT, who knew?!!  THANK YOU!!!!  You did DO what Jesus would do!!! Hahahahahaha!

I BELIEVE the ADOPT-A-HOMELESS MOVEMENT,  in combination with all the other great projects and programs going on across the country (Shout out to UTAH and DETROIT!), WILL END the HOMELESS STORY (FEAR and LEPERS!) FOREVER and EVER. Amen! A-Ho! YATZEE!

**And I would LOVE to HEAR more brilliant SOULutions to the HOMELESS EPIDEMIC in this country! 


  *I am BLESSED, thank you, more please!

Dear CHICO-ish, I am BREAKING UP with YOU!


WARNING:  IF you READ this exercise in SPEAKING MY TRUTH and get UPSET/UNCOMFORTABLE in any way, then KNOW this is a CLEAR INDICATOR that YOU RECOGNIZE a not-so-pretty TRUTH about yourSELF.  And KNOW that it is OK. KNOW this is a BIG STEP towards TRUE SELF-ACUALIZATION and ultimately, SELF-OPTIMIZATION.

Dear Chi-Co-Cow-Paradise-ish,  
FAITH YOU!

I NOW SEE CLEARLY how I have become a SLAVE to LOVE for the “GOOD” PEOPLE of the Chi-Co-Cow-Paradise-ish area (pretty much all of Butte County), thus co-creating what could best be described as, literally, DOMESTIC ABUSE.  I SEE MY PATTERN…

PLEASE NOTE the “MY”:  As in I AM TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY for MY ACTIONS (and NO ONE ELSE’s!) and this means I DO NOT BLAME anyONE but mySELF…NOR DO I SLANDER OTHERS, FALSELY ACCUSE OTHERS (*did you KNOW the PUNISHMENT for FALSE ACCUSATIONS in VOODOO Justice is ZOMBIFICATION?!!!); NOR do I GOSSIP (*because I have NO IDEA what is going on in MY LIFE, much less someone else’s!! Besides I am only interested in SOULutions for ALL!)  And I NO LONGER PERSECUTE OTHERS…because I GET IT: Surely I have done ALL these things—with a side of kimchi and a violin—at some point, in THIS lifetime or many others! 

In ALL directions of TIME:  I Love you. Forgive me IF I have hurt you. Thank you.  Party on, Garth!

BOTTOM LINE: I am ENDING this DOMESTIC ABUSE STORY.  PERIOD.

I SEE MY PATTERN:

·      I LEAVE the area only when I have become PHYSICALLY ILL (*remember “The Allergies” –with Nurses Jess and Anita? Or the Pneumo-bronchu “Ascension” Flu that hit us hard at CREATION STATION throughout most of JAN and some of FEB this year? Or the mysterious “Brown-Recluse-Staph Infection”?!  Or most recently, POISON OAK on MY FACE?! )  Regardless , this is PURELY MY SUPRESSED ANGER (FEELING HURT, MISUNDERSTOOD, ATTACKED, FALSELY ACCUSED, NOT APPRECIATED, TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, “PUNCHING BAG”, “SCAPEGOAT”, WITCH-HUNT TARGET of OTHER PEOPLE’s ANGER and UNHAPPINESS etc. etc., especially by people who refer to THEMSELVES as MY FRIENDS!!! ) surfacing in the form of  ridiculous ILLNESSES.  *THANK YOU, POISON OAK, for the POWERFUL, as in EM-POWER-ING lesson! 

·      I get SICK and then GO AWAY and have some ZANY ADVENTURES for a WHILE…

·      And then like A LOT of people (self) “trapped” in an ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, I am LURED BACK to this AREA with APOLOGIES (*which I do NOT NEED, thank you very much…you see, I UNDERSTAND WE are ALL on DIFFERENT PATHS and I have COMPASSION for ALL PATHS); OR, I am LURED by the INIFINITE POSSIBILITIES of CO-CREATING a really, really BIG CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY that ACTUALLY LIVES a NEW EARTH (*as opposed to TALKING/PREACHING/LECTURING about it and then CHARGING PEOPLE for IT!); OR, a FRIEND “in NEED” lures me back….I am TOTALLY a SUCKER for a FRIEND (or anyONE for that matter!) going through a sometimes SCARY TRANSITION into a RADICALLY NEW LIFE; OR, perhaps it is just MY simple LONGING of a TRUE HOME (aka, A New Earth.)  I suspect it is ALL of the ABOVE (as is below, no?)

·      I ALWAYS RETURN to this particular area with LOVE, HOPE, FAITH and TRUST that THIS TIME will be better!  There is a brief HONEYMOON period and then WHENEVER I VOICE or STATE MY BOUNDARIES;  aka, SPEAK MY TRUTH (OR whenever I say my NO! OR CALL BULLSHIT on someONE; or even when I JUST QUESTION PEOPLE)…well, I have NOTICED that PEOPLE get VERY UPSET AT ME because I am NOT DOING WHAT THEY WANT ME to DO!!!!  And they call ME, SELF-ish?!!!!  Yikes!  So basically, I am SEEING that when I DO SPEAK MY TRUTH even in the context of my FRIENDS and FAMILY (*and yes, sometimes, I have to YELL because THEY are NOT HEARING ME when I am being GENTLE, GOOFY or NICE!), PEOPLE are STILL trying to PUNISH ME through various very creative ways…for example: PUBLIC SHAMING on and off FACEBOOK—aka, modern BULLYING; “If you were my FRIEND” GUILT (aka EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL); or THEY THINK because THEY GAVE ME some of their SCRAPS (and they call it CHARITY!) that I OWE it to THEM to DO WHATEVER they want me to DO—for THEM.  You SEE how FUCKED UP this is?!!!

This is what Being a SLAVE to LOVE looks like. Therefore, by writing this out, I am ending this DOMESTIC ABUSE STORY by taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for MY BELIEFS and ACTIONS.  

You are FREE to post COMMENTS (because I BELIEVE in FREE SPEECH, not just the stuff we would prefer to HEAR!), but I will TELL you NOW…I really don’t give a FUCK what you THINK about my RADICAL TRUTH documented here (praise or bullshit!)…this is a SELF-made EXERCISE in RADICAL HONESTY for ME.   *Please READ WARNING ABOVE (again.)

And Thanks for all the fish!

The WORLD through MY EYES (aka, SPEAKING MY TRUTH) about….FACEBOOK Photos BULLSHIT, OR FRIENDSHIP and INTEGRITY



*DISCLAIMER:  MY TRUTH may or may not be YOUR TRUTH, and that is FINE with ME!  Really!   I mean it is the DIFFERNCE between creating a DYNAMIC, COLORFUL MOSIAC (aka, ART) or just plain bathroom floor TILING, no?  The WHOLE POINT of this GAME called LIFE is to RE-DISCOVER yOUR UNIQUE TRUTH (and not MINE, or anyONE else’s for that matter!) and SHARE it FREELY with the PEOPLE who SHOW UP in yOUR WORLD, right? And this INCLUDES the PEOPLE who DELIVER your MAIL, PICK UP yOUR TRASH, and SERVE YOU FOOD, etc.!  *Of course, you are ALWAYS FREE to DISAGREE! Personally, I LOVE to ENTERTAIN/PLAY WITH other people’s POINT of VIEWS, because I ALWAYS FIND SOME TRUTH in it-- THANK YOU!

**And HOW exactly DO I DETERMINE MY TRUTH (from someone else’s STORY)?

Well, I LISTEN to THE STORY/IDEA/BELIEF being PRESENTed to ME (THANK YOU for the GIFT!) and FEEL the TRUTH in order to DETERMINE if it is TRUE for ME.

In other words, when a BELIEF (aka, IDEA, THOUGHT, STORY) RESONATES with ME, it FEELS GOOD.  It FEELS GOOD to ME because it is in HARMONY with MY HEART.  And as it just so happens, MY HEART SEEKS ONENESS with ALL (aka, PEACE, LOVE, JOY, FREEDOM, LAUGHTER and all that “Hippie” Stuff!)  Therefore, ANY STORY or BELIEF that MOVES US further AWAY from ONENESS, and is thus PERPETUATING SEPARATENESS (aka, Duality-Thinking; FEAR-based THINKING; US vs THEM mentality; MEN VS WOMEN; MAN vs NATURE; MONSANTO VS ORGANIC FARMERS; Pepsi vs Coca-Cola, etc.), does NOT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD.  Sometimes, it makes me MAD, but ALWAYS it makes me SAD and therefore, I SEEK a SOULution with that particular SAD IDEA/BELIEF/STORY which BRINGS US ALL closer to ONENESS (aka, LOVE, PEACE, HARMONY, and all that “Hippie” Stuff.)

Therefore, Today, I am DEEPLY GRATEFUL for YOU ALL-OWING ME the TIME and SPACE to EXPRESS RADICAL HONESTY with both mySELF and OTHERS because I am ALL ABOUT TRANSPARENCY for mySELF (first and foremost!), TRANSPARENCY in ALL MY deLIGHTful RELATIONSHIPS with OUR FRIENDS/FAMILY/PEERS/STRANGERS, and fully EXTENDING to TRANSPARENCY throughout OUR LOCAL, NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL GOVERNING BODIES; CORPORATIONS; RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS; and whatnot.)  As is ABOVE is BELOW, no?

So BASICALLY, it ALL STARTS with ME (and U2!!)   Hahahahaha!   
                                                  You have just been BONOred!!  J 

Anyway, TODAY, I am going to SHARE (Sharing is Caring, no?), otherwise known as SPEAK MY (radically honest) TRUTH about WHAT I SEE and HOW I FEEL when PEOPLE I obviously LOVE and ADORE (!!) ASK me under the GUISE of FRIENDSHIP (*and sometimes not very nicely!) to REMOVE PHOTOS of themSELVES, I have POSTED (mostly on FACEBOOK), under the IN-ALIEN-able BRILLIANT CONCEPT of FREEDOM OF SPEECH and SELF-EXPRESSION (*as expressed in the UNITED STATES BILL of RIGHTS…or was it, The DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE—or, wait-- are they the same thing?!  Ummm, perhaps I should re-read those documents again…)  And PLEASE CORRECT ME, when YOU have a BETTER SOULution—I am ALWAYS INTERESTED in SOULutions! THANK YOU! We CHANGE the WORLD through OUR coLABorative SOULutions, no?
Look!  A SQUIRREL!

Anyways, it BREAKS MY HEART when I post PHOTOS of PEOPLE I LOVE, BEING AUTHENTICALLY THEMSELVES (*and USUALLY having a DAMN GOOD TIME while DOIN’ IT!) in my PHOTO-STORIES, mostly on FACEBOOK …

PHOTO-STORIES (noun) = FREE MODERN LOVE-BASED INDEPENDENT PHOTO-JOURNALISM from PEOPLE YOU KNOW, LOVE and TRUST (*isn’t that what WE CLAIM WE WANT from our MEDIA?!!!!)

… and then PEOPLE I LOVE ask me (*and sometimes not very nicely!) to REMOVE/HIDE the raw, NATURAL, NO PHOTO-SHOPPED TRUTH I just happened to CAPTURE “by accident” -- because ask anyONE-- I do not even really KNOW how to use the kinda-HI!-tech CAMERA Paul Davey GIFTED me (***THANK YOU again, PAUL!!!!!)—I just CLICK the CAMERA when it FEELS RIGHT and *MAGIC!  This seemingly “simple” request from PEOPLE I LOVE is OUT of ALIGMENT with me.  In other words, it STILL does not FEEL GOOD to ME and I think I have FIGURED out the WHY…

*And what I mean by MAGIC is that I have just CAPTURED a quantifiable MOMENT of TIME (aka, a MEMORY) in the FORM of PHOTONS/LIGHT PARTICLES that I am NOW able to TRANSMIT this LIGHT INFORMATION easily to the REST of the WORLD, which does not happen to speak ENGLISH, by the way! 

Therefore, I can REACH a MUCH LARGER AUDIENCE through MY raw, NATURAL, sometimes MESSY by ALWAYS UN-EDITED, UN-CENSORED personal FACEBOOK PHOTO-STORIES, otherwise known as DOCUMENTATION of the AWEmazing DAYS of OUR LIVES (*which just happen to REACH, TEACH, INSPIRE, usually ENTERTAIN, and ultimately, EMPOWER OTHERS around the world!)  Directly from SOURCE and FREE for ALL!  (*Isn’t THAT what WE CLAIM WE WANT from OUR MEDIA?!!!!)

And just so you KNOW how I FEEL about MY PHOTO-STORIES, mostly on Facebook:

I can SEE how MY FACEBOOK PHOTO-STORIES are an INTEGRATED extension of my RECENT PAST LIFE as an INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE and “INDEPENDENT MEDIA” JOURNALIST– I mean, IF it were TRULY “INDEPENDENT MEDIA” we WOULD NOT NEED EDITORS, right?  *And just so you KNOW, I have been a very $$well-paid$$ as well as VOLUNTEER EDITOR several times mySELF for a plethora of media organizations and multi-media outlets, so I speak from DIRECT EXPERIENCE: For further reference, Google Me at “Kelly N Patterson, Editor”.  

And not only are MY PHOTO-STORIES just ONE of MY many INTERNATIONAL multi-media COMMUNICATIONS TOOLS…it is a JOYFUL PASSION for ME, as well as ONE of my methods of SELF-EXPRESSION (aka, ART); it is a HEALING GIFT to ME and can be a SERVICE to OTHERS; it is a FREE EASILY ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICE from MY HEART; IT HIGHLIGHTS the BEST of HUMANS, PLANTS, ANIMALS, BUSINESSES, SERVICE, PRODUCTS, IDEAS, ATOMS, DARK MATTER, and so on…) MY PHOTO STORIES are MUCH, MUCH more than just about MY LIFE, YOUR LIFE and OUR SHARED LIVES TOGETHER but they are ALWAYS about SHOWING and DOCUMENTING LOVE in ALL its SACRED, PROFOUND, and sometimes, ABSURD and PROFANE forms, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, my PHOTO-STORIES are a VERY PUBLIC EXPRESSION of MY LOVE and GRATITUDE for ALL of my LIFE EXPERIENCES and what I have LEARNED from everyONE who has SHOWN UP thus far…so THANK YOU ALL for PLAYING!

So, NOW let’s get to NOT-SO-PRETTY PART of this STORY…sometimes referred to as TRUTH…

In order to demonstrate HOW and WHY I FEEL out of ALIGNMENT when PEOPLE I LOVE ASK ME to REMOVE/DELETE/HIDE a PHOTO of themselves, I am sharing a few “typical” SCENES… and note, NAMES have been CHANGED to PROTECT the GUILTY or as I prefer to call them: “The NOT FULLY AWAKE…YET”  (and YES, at times, WE are ALL GUILTY or NOT FULLY AWAKE YET, silly!)


SCENE 1 (Oh-so-annoyingly Typical):

CLOSE FRIEND:  Can you PLEASE remove THAT PHOTO of ME, Kelly, because IT  (*AS IF putting BLAME on the CAMERA or PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!) makes me look…FAT/OLD/UGLY/DRUNK/HIGH/SLUTTY/UNPROFESSIONAL/ LESS-than-PERFECT/VULNERABLE/MESSY/way too many INDIVIDUAL INSECURITIES to list here!

THROUGH MY EYES:  WTF?!!!  YOU are PERFECT just as YOU ARE-- messy and ALL—don’t YOU SEE THAT?!!!!  Much to my HEART-BREAK, what this “simple” request REVEALS to ME is that I have “accidentally” RE-MINDED YOU of a FALSE, DIS-EMPOWERING, UN-LOVING BELIEF you STILL have about yourSELF (aka, INSECURITIES), that YOU are NOT WANTING TO SEE or OTHERS to SEE (right now.) Literally.  And I WHOLE-HEARTedly BELIEVE these same SELF-DEFECATING THOUGHTS are what PREVENT YOU (and ME!) from FULLY ALL-OWING LOVE, JOY, INNER PEACE, FREEDOM and all that “Hippie” stuff.   *Because we are ALL in this TOGETHER, no?

MY CONCLUSION (*which may very well be different from YOURS—CHEERS!):

Therefore, this seemingly “simple” REMOVE-MY-PHOTO-PLEASE request is OUT of ALIGNMENT with ME, because I FEEL LIKE HONORING yOUR request is AGREEING to YOUR DIS-EMPOWERING, UN-LOVING BELIEFS about yourSELF. Which would, according to the AA Tribe, make me an ENABLER, no? This goes directly against MY DESIRE to EMPOWER mySELF and OTHERS, preferably through LOVE.
A very RECENT SELFIE, "POISON OAK FACE" 

SCENE 2 (*Now we are going to go DEEPER, please check your oxygen tank!): 

CLOSE FRIEND:  Kelly, PLEASE do NOT POST any PHOTOS of ME and (insert NAMEbut KNOW it is NEVER a SPOUSE/OBVIOUS PARTNER) TOGETHER. 

THROUGH MY EYES:  WTF?!!!  Basically, YOU are REVEALING to ME that YOU are currently OUT of INTEGRITY with your AGREEMENTS with YOUR PARTICULAR SPOUSE/PARTNER (*which is OK with ME, THAT is YOUR STORY and I TRUST you and your partner will FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER or APART, whatever works BEST for YOU!) HOWEVER, YOU want ME to SHARE in your LIE?!! And you call this FRIENDSHIP?!!! YIKES! This does not FEEL GOOD to ME because it IS DISHONEST.  Period.

In the PAST, when I have QUIETLY (PRIVATELY) CHALLENGED some of my CLOSE FRIENDS on the INTEGRITY of this “simple” REQUEST, they have PULLED the IF-YOU-WERE-MY-FRIEND-GUILT CARD (*which is a well-documented FORM of PSYCHOLOGICAL and EMOTIONAL BULLYing, by the way…but don’t listen to ME, do your own TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY 101 innerHOMEWORK!)  I mean, Is that what Dionne Warwick meant when she sang, THAT’s WHAT FRIENDS are FOR?!!!  

I mean, IF I am going to be a FRIEND ACCOMPLICE, I want to be a FRIEND ACCOMPLICE to an ACT of LOVE and JOY, RANDOM ACTS of GENEROSITY, and GOOFY SHENANIGANS, not an accomplice to a LIE because DISHONESTY with SELF leads to DISHONESTY with OTHERS, no?

MY CONCLUSION (*which may very well be different from YOURS—CHEERS!):

I think you would be very SURPRISED how often I get this “simple” PLEASE-REMOVE-MY-PHOTO request.  HOW ABOUT instead of BEING DISHONEST with ourSELF (and therefore, OTHERS) we PRACTICE *RADICAL HONESTY with the very people we LOVE?  And then we can WRITE NEW RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENTS out of LOVE, and NOT FEAR-- with INTEGRITY to SELF and OTHERS. 

*For more information on RADICAL HONESTY, please START HERE: http://kellynpatterson.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-big-wish-list-for-myself-and_28.html 

SCENE 3 (The ONE MOST out of ALIGNMENT with ME currently!):

CLOSE FRIEND:  Kelly, I would like to PREVIEW your PHOTOS of the (insert EVENT HERE: wedding/party/fundraising event/community meeting/historic gathering of Lightworkers/class/whatever) before you post them, so I can APPROVE the PHOTOS of myself. 

THROUGH MY EYES:  WTF?!!!  Basically, you are asking PERMISSION, under the MASK of FRIENDSHIP, in the NAME of LOVE, to PROOF or EDIT, possibly CENSOR, and potentially ALTER OUR UNIQUE SHARED HISTORY and ultimately, ROB ME (and OTHERS!) of OUR in-ALIEN-able RIGHTS to FREEDOM of SPEECH and SELF-EXPRESSION!  I mean, IF I am NOT ALL-OWED FREEDOM of SPEECH and SELF-EXPRESSION from MY OWN FAMILY and FRIENDS, HOW CAN any of US EXPECT it from OUR GOVERNMENTS?!!!  **For further reference, READ the UNITED STATES BILL of RIGHTS and DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE.

MY CONCLUSION (*which may very well be different from YOURS—CHEERS!):
"FAITH YOU!"  (*Yes, the RING on my MIDDLE FINGE, which I FOUND in a parking lot, reads: FAITH)

This Machiavellian STRATEGY is NOTHING SHORT of EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL used to MANIPULATE and ultimately, CONTROL the ACTIONS of OTHERS to better SERVE YOUrself  and the fact that it is done in the NAME of LOVE and FRIENDSHIP literally makes me WANT TO PUKE!   *For further reference, about HISTORIC MANIPULATION TOOLS read “The Prince” by Niccolò Machiavelli, written circa 16th Century.

So you say you want a rEVOLution?!!!!!  Well, The rEVOLution STARTS with ME (and U2, All of US!)  *Guess what?!!!  
You just got BONOred again!  Hahahaha! It never gets old!

Again, THANK YOU ALL for ALL-OWING me the TIME and a SAFE SPACE to BE and radically EXPRESS mySELF WITHOUT FEAR of PUNISHMENT, RIDICULE, GOSSIP, OSTRACIZATION, REJECTION, ABANDONMENT, EX-COMMUNICATION, DEATH THREATS, HATE-MAIL, TORTURE or PERSECUTION (*We’ve come along way, Baby!)  and as ALWAYS, I WHOLE HEARTedly ENCOURAGE YOU to BE YOUrself 100% of the time, 24:7, with ME, with everyONE pretty please (!!!) and  KNOW that I LOVE YOU just as you are…skinny legs, Not-FULLY-AWAKE-YET and all…because I AM ALL ABOUT UNCONDITONAL LOVE, FREEDOM and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS!
