I’ve got this movie idea. I may as well tell you about it as anything else because if nothing else it is about the ingredients of a good movie.

The 1st of April/2002

I think I was showing affinity for Australia when I declared April Fools the first Transcendian Holiday. It is a holiday for heartbreak, that part of life that feels like a joke, a joke you have cried about.

 Australia has a Holiday for a defeat, Gallipoli.

 It is what makes them like Southerners from the Confederacy.

 Strange.

Well the point is that we’ve all got to be losers every now and then.

All day long I listened to the radio about world events which are Israel and the War on Terror.

We cut a shower and a bathtub out of a modular home because the owners want new bathing facilities.

All over the world people want better bathing facilities.

I hope they get them.

My heart was somewhere else.

I was surprised that I wanted to be home.

I had been home enough I thought.

I’m home now.

"Value your life."

Trends / Dictated Directions / The Meaning of April Fools

Foolish in the Morning

Foolish at Night

Foolish Foolish Foolish

It just ain’t right.

I hate to admit it, but if I was a robot, I would not reprogram myself.

But then again this is a simple way for me to say I love my ancestor, and am glad I was made the way I was. Whatever it is in me that they don’t like, is likely something I ought to love, unless it is crippling in the way that it prevents me from achieving my destiny.

I do not necessarily get better information than anyone else, reading the New Yorker, or New York Times. It is funny how in the city you read the Post or Daily News to see pictures of people you really know.

I listen to the radio, NPR mostly, though I don’t send them money thinking that they should hire me and just having some sort of limits.

The excitement of the attacks, and its requirements has faded in emotional level to the same as the Cold War reality that I lived with day in and day out like everyone else. The War on Terrorism becomes the simple continuation of that mental landscape, and also I was warned when I read Classic Readings in International Relations, (must reading for Transcendians)

I am trying to understand the dictates of the trends that are my life both locally and globally. Locally things are fine, wonderful in fact. I’m not depressed. I hardly care what job I am doing I like Chapel Hill so much. If I could just fly into New York on a regular basis, things would be in fact, about perfect.

Since I miss the City.

I watched Death Trip Films by J Kern with Lydia Lunch and Karen Findley from 1985 yesterday I missed the city so much. The difference between Art and Entertainment became clear again since all the slick movies we see by accident, just there, are mostly just mere entertainment that it is often just a waste of our life’s time to watch.

Wasted time is what I most often feel the most shame and quilt over. I must have gotten depressed in Greensboro because so much of my time even well spent seemed wasted.

I’d need to be in New York to create The United Nations Channel, and bring that into the positive trend of the mental landscape that is C-Span. A couple of days ago I watched a panel of speakers hosted by Equity International with representatives of Volga-Dnepr Airlines, Knightsbridge International, The US Agency for International Development, and The Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

If I got every Transcendian to buy arms and declare they were our army I ought to get millions from Ross Wherry of the Agency for International Development. The sad thing is that is the way it works. -That is one very certain long-term trend that only emotion moving vision will triumph over. It would be a triumph then if the US Agency for International Development would give Transcendia just a little bit of aid. Seems like 50 million dollars would be equitable in light of what nations are getting these days.

Funny for me to remember that it costs often more than 50 million dollars to make a good movie.

Well with 50 million dollars I’d spend a quarter on securing airfields and seaplane facilities, a quarter on flight schools, and that would leave half for other required bits of civilization. I’d rather have no standing army, but just arm everyone with what they need in a dangerous world. I can see a highly developed non lethal program.

I’m trying to get some other writers for Transcendia.org, besides myself. In an ideal world print magazine editors would dip into Transcendia.org and buy articles as they need. I’ve suggested it to several editors, without success so far, but the realities of reading and publishing require continued real magazines and books for the simple way they operate in the world want desperately some Pilot writers, and some sociologist submariner astronaut poets, a filmmaker or two, and fiction.

A satellite linked computer book would have the advantage of language translation programs as well as pictograph for the illiterate. Soon I’ll get the price on the most perfect Xerox instant publishing machines that I plan to place in all the airport newsstands.

April Fools is the first Transcendian Holiday, and if nothing else you do as a Transcendian say the April Fools Day Poem out loud. The history of that holiday is one of love and sex and passion.

I made a real fool of myself by being way too idealistic. I ended up crying a good deal. It made me stronger I sometimes think, saying that having your heart broken and living through it is somehow necessary for becoming a man. Certainly how one handles heartbreak is one measure of how much one is a gentleman or a lady.

Other times I don’t think the experiences made me stronger at all, only a bit wiser.

Celebrate April Fools with some party of forgiveness for yourself.

Imagine tribes of Right Brain and Left Brains segregated on Mars Until Alien Treats have a Computer bring them together to defeat the common threat.

I can’t spell well.

Consider that a poem related to some meaning.

We went to see Laurie Anderson. She is tired and happiness is not a good name for her tour. I wished that Heather had been there with her to help her, but they would have needed me to direct and that is not in their concepts of themselves.

The West Side Highway is a miracle of motors that run at idle for so long without air that if they were airplanes they would blow up.

Right brain

Left brain

Taxes

the borders between Mexico

Canada, and someplace I live

Betray status under the lights of a lens.

Every friend you have that is a cop

will tell you the truth

They are like garbage men

Protect yourself.

Claim the right to protect yourself

Lawyers with no badges

Suits that sort of fit.

Carry the goals for your private parts

Early in the morning

Go hunting gathering and fooling around.

Save yourself from the television.

Write your own lies.

Also…

Short story that illustrates the solution.

Once my dog, and my friends dog, got into a fight.

I picked up both dogs, and held them face to face, unable to fight.

When I saw in their eyes a shared understanding of their predicament, I threw them apart, and they fought no more after landing.

Such is the only solution, and what it means is that the United Nations must step in and throw the dogs apart, and take over governance, of the region.

No other solution offers any hope really. In America now, it is the American Civil War, and its resolution that offers hope. What that resolution points to is a replication internationally of the states relationship to the federal government in the United Nations.

What is called "radical" is often only a practical solution that is too far from past beliefs. It is the philosophy of William James and the Method of Pragmatism that our leaders domestically, and internationally need to turn to now.

There are several ways to do things among friends.

 There is the quick and dirty method that is a swirl of wills and has an element of risk that tends to produce some damage, impotent and there is the safe method that employs the experienced in combination with the perfect tools.

In the case of the inexperienced who are coupled with the perfect tools, adiposity things will possibly be less dangerous, try but the combination is likely equal in danger.

Experienced people using fine tools lead by clearly defined vision will cause a greater experience for the inexperienced which is what we all are until we are dead which is the end of inexperience around here.

The website Transcendia.org has been inagurated and an application for citizenship in Transcendia is my next assignment. In the past only people I knew personally got Transcendian Passports.

Well I did send one to Clinton, but at least my brother-in-law knew him.

Mark4:1-20. "Let anyone with ears to hear listen!" Reading for the day.

Russell Scott Day /Founder of Transcendia

Listened to a Radio Program about Pedophiles in the Clergy of the Catholic Church.

I end up thinking that the Catholics ought to become Episcopalians since Episcopalians are really repaired Catholics. Or better said, purchase a repair of Catholithism which was accomplished in 1523 or 36, sickness anyway a good long time ago.

I am saying this in relation to the empiracal evidence of sexual misconduct by similar groups organized in similar ways with similar rituals and even hymns.

These anguished testimonials best heard facelessly over the radio about sex between young boys and priests expose something that must be fixed because their history has perpetuated the sexual orientation within that culture, store the culture of the Catholic Church.

How it is that someone would become a pedophile has to be recognized as the pivotal question.

 What is done, perpetuates what is done.

 From my own sexual history, remembered development through both desire, innocent curiosity and its loss turned into knowledge respect awe and a pivot point of my life and its expression, I have the belief that within the culture of the Catholic Church, because Clergy in the past have created people like themselves though these sexual practices which are terrible because of their place as secrets that scar the psyche if not the soul.

A child must be able to share their sexual stories with their peers.

 Overall there is a grind to having to keep secrets.

 Parents or adults know that they are betraying their position when they burden children with secrets. Children have enough to do with keeping their own secrets and to put them through the twisted and lonely repetitive carriage of a secret that Clergy sexual abuse seems to be, is only to be diminished if its causes are removed from the culture as apparently they were in the Episcopal culture.

So what is it that I am saying?

 I am saying that a structure has effects and that when you compare the Catholic Church with The Episcopal Church it would imply that if Catholicism wants to diminish the forces within its culture that in a physics like, cause and effect manner, clearly set the stage at the very least, for incidents of the betrayal of innocents, and innocence, the Episcopal stands on marriage of Priests are superior for the sexual culture of that denomination, over Catholicism.

My friend Bill reported that his son asked what Transcendia was and could only end up calling it Russellland.

Within the body of the writings from September 8th to now, viagra buy in The Refrigerator is the text of the Passport and other various positions and days of Theologoical Consult. In Transcendia.org at the beginning there has to be a Vision Statement, prostate like a Declaration of Independence, and a decription of the government and an application for the Passport of Transcendia, which is one thing that I have not exactly finished.

Transcendia, the company, the country and the work of art.

Transcendia

The Vision of Transcendia is an International Confederation of Airports with the expansionist goal of becoming a nation of airports and spaceports.

(Yesterday I drew dots on the World Map placemat I use for a mouse pad. The perfect place for an airport is by a deepwater port and major highways and rail service. An airport is unique in that it may succeed dispite its lousy geographic location if its culture is complete. Such is the sort of Spaceport possible. For instance there are towns in the world that are known simply for Universities. Once taxes or other profits are sufficient Transcendian airports will all maintain Transcendian Flight Schools.)

A pointed edit of Transcendian Letters in The Refrigerator will clarify Transcendia.org. and is being undertaken. As soon as I get the application finished for the passport, it will be possible to buy a Passport which is one thing that is about useless merely memorized or left in the computer.

So oddly enough I am charged now with creating a bureaucacy. I hope that the best bureaucrats will join Transcendia.

Nancy Alex told me she heard a guy on the radio say that it was wasteful to have thousands of guys aimlessly cruising around in Ships for months.

Really.

When I go on the web looking for Seaplanes to obviate the need for Aircraft carriers, I don’t find anything acceptable.

Since there is no strategy that I know of that calls for seaplanes, it would imply that few modern designs have been developed.

For every invention, there is a place. Diminishment of the place for trains in our infrastructure, and our society and culture as a result erode the overall efficiency which impacts individual income and leads like an anchor no one seems to want to haul up.

Maybe that is not an elegant metaphor, but you can make it work.

At any rate having come from Sailors and Priests, I think Seaplanes superior to boats period.

Once I figured out that there weren’t many women out at sea, airplanes got much more attractive since still their operation demanded the same skills.

Seems like Boeing and Lockheed could use the work and I am convinced that transformational products are not necessarily new, but re-engineered when their niche reappears.

It would be a good thing if the new seaplanes ran on hydrogen stored in borax, but I don’t know if you can get the BTUs for heavy lifting of the folding portable oil rig type temporary stationary base that Transcendia would need out in some ocean areas.

Pray to God myself that I can come up with ideas that conform to the James method of thinking that allows for integrated thought. I try never to get to far from accepted truths.

Really.

Hence the I Ching and the Bible.

Recreation of the Cold War, in the guise of a War on Terrorism benefits the Corporate Cynics who feel fear and isolation from the poor they manipulate through ignorance and hypocrisy.

I’d rather say the root of evil is armed ignorance, because that is more forgivable. The root of evil is certitude and judgmental intolerance combined with self serving rationalizations.

The Sermon Brooks gave seemed bland when I first heard it, but it has set with me well. Keep moving through grief and awe and all. Mary Magdeline I think of as Lois Lane now after the sermon since she was like a journalist running around with important news that needed notice.

What is it that we are to love?

Are we to love within borders on this earth?

No matter or not whether or not we believe that God somehow changed the laws of physics and life so that Jesus could be resurrected, we know that he valued every soul, and that this is what we expect of the governments that we would volunteer for.

The Citizen is a secular name for a soul. In Transcendia, the victimless crime will not exist as justification for imprisonment or prosecution. The rule of the moral elitist is nothing but a propagandist manipulation to benefit international oil corporations.

These corporations I single out as examples of the worst, not saying that there are corporations ideologically in cultural conflict within the Capitalists.

When the Short Term Profiteers gain the upper hand over the long term Visionaries, we suffer. The Short Term Profiteers cripple the Company, rape it in the Short Term, destroying the Long Term potential. A current example is Enron.

But it is happening in the Space Program and other areas of our interwoven economies.

Weapons of Mass Destruction like the atomic bomb, as they become more acceptable, will make the short termers more vulnerable, and sorry for their philosophy along with the rest of us if they triumph now in this very very crucial time.

Low yield nuclear weapons lead down a very fatal path, is my personal opinion.

What is practical in the short term, is not always practical in the long term is the way I look at tactical nuclear weapons.

The only place I see for tactical nuclear weapons is in the destruction of Comets or Asteroids, and the steerage of them is likely the best solution.

I got to shoot my new pistol yesterday. It is a little Smith and Wesson 32 revolver, and it worked.

,

First day of the website for transcendia.org which is our wedding present. Alright it is not the first piece of wood that I have ever cut.

Carl is drunk on the country highway on his motorcycle.

Carl is going faster than hell with only a single headlight to see by. It is only the road he can see. The road goes somewhere but it is only a road.

Trade will make you angry as will work and some people don’t have any other skill but to refine theft.

Honestly we want to sell you our goods. You need a good robot but we haven’t made it yet.

The only concrete thing that Transcendia has made has been the theology of Transcendia. The I Ching is a sermon for the Bible reading for the day.

The Bible and the I Ching are together like the best fossils.

War is about women. War is about trade. Trade and women. But mostly if you win a war you get the women. In the case of divorce from place the equality of women in the pursuit of Godliness is paramount.

Women cannot be like men. For every emotional act that feels good and therefore permanent or worthwhile they are stuck with the payment.

Feelings are betrayed for men. Feelings in the swelled heart of satisfaction and full potato belly have drifted and crashed for men to hunger and humiliation and loss.

Women and Food make a town. A town to remember and visit write up for a tour book.

I listen to women priests and they speak well, but it is their detachment from work that puts their sermons too much in the head.

The authority of pain is in building. There is a lauded amnesia of birth.

What choice do you have? Build a baby that is your own mind.

Build a perfect mind and you might get mine.

Your mind at thirteen and mine at thirteen full of the inspirations cherished and the realities acknowledged. It was perfect on the edge of innocence and corruption.

Take your heart out of your chest and hold it in your hand and look at it.

The greatest fun is to live in truth to the hand and the heart. You have enemies and it will be fun to figure them out. It will be fun to make them your friends.
