True Story of the Day

Monkey Village.

Hobart and I on a week end off, took a Thai tour bus, now if you survive one of those, then you can actually arrive at where you were going.

We were just on a photo shoot.
Now, we arrived at this place called Monkey Village. Monkey Village was just a place where monkey's actually lived in the tree tops. And they actually do fornicate just like we do today.

So, I suggested that Monkeys fornicating in the tree tops was not really worth the film, so I suggested that we head out to open country. We had plenty of time as a lot of people like porn, even when it is only monkeys.

Well, I spied a Wat in the distance, and this red robed Monk approaching us. Hobart did not want anything to do with the guy, but I was curious to know what he wanted and to talk to him. Turns out, he was a monk over a Wat that was a crematorium and all he wanted was to practice his English, as he learnt it on his own. I complemented him that it was very good.

Our photo adventure turned out well for me. But over time, even photo's I won awards on, I tossed out. Too much baggage. But I had a good time that day. Monks are considered to be the intelligentsia of their villages. I really enjoyed a man devoted to learning something and eager to practice it to see if he got it right.
This Monk was a true philosopher.
Now the moral of the story is, how do you practice philosophy and are not simply interested in fornicating with monkeys?

Philosophy is a subset of knowledge and having a good attitude about learning something could apply to any kind of knowledge. Being a monk who only wants to learn one thing doesn't imply someone is a philosopher.

"Monks are considered to be the intelligentsia of their villages."

That's how it all starts right there. An arbitrary division of labor occurs in which a new priest class emerges. And these guy's 'jobs' are either to sit around playing with chicken bones all day or bless warriors before they go off to battle. It's a pretty clever way to get out of having to do any real work.

With any luck, a property hoarding legislative class of capitalists emerges next, with the help of the priests (who convince the villagers that god have em that right).

I was at the gas station earlier and i saw the most disgusting thing i have ever seen. This enormous black woman with daisy dukes and a half-cut t-shirt on. Her whole mess was spilling out all over the place. She hadn't the slightest thought that she looked disgusting. IQ maybe around ninety if she's lucky.

My question is, say I was a Christian and when i died, i saw her in heaven. Would she be the same lazy, imbecilic vomitous mass of blubber with the same sense of undeserved entitlement that she has now?

How can anybody believe that people are 'equal' when they see someone like that? Oh an even better question; who would honor a god who declares that u are equal to something like that? (I feel u, Iblis. I totally understand bro when u were like 'what? Kneel to that? Lol go fuck yourself)

What if there is no god and we're just animals, some better than others?

[promethean75]

Who is the greater pestilence, a forum religious missionary or the ones at a forum that have no clue what Marxism is?

I suppose it depends on which one is more dangerous. Now i propose that, in fact, both these types can actually work in favor of revolution in this way. Each type acts as an antagonist that actually strengthens the already present cognitive dissonance of whoever is exposed to their nonsense. It comes about that the worker, pulled this way and that by so much utter confusion, breaks naturally out of his complacency and becomes revolutionarily oriented in his thinking. He says 'enough is enough' and 'i don't know what to believe'.

It is this very inner revolt against the uncertainty created through these nefarious forces that pushes him forward. He has to create a new space in which he can exist without so much confusion.

Incidentally, this breaking up of the present order of things is the revolutionary act. Ergo; the pests become their own gravediggers.

I did it again. I swear to god i don't know how to do this shit. I just gave a quote to a customer for a 12x12 deck platform to put one of those metal gazebo kits on, and she jumped at the price so fast, it had to mean she was expecting to pay waaaay more than what I'm chargin. So i called her back and made up some bullshit about having to add a girder becuz of code, and raised my price a few hundred. And she's still like 'oh no problem'.

I'm too honest for this shit man. I demand that the free market be abolished and replaced by a planned economy organized and run by the proletariat in which the value of labor is determined democratically on the basis of merit.

Dude, you're in an uncommon situation where you get to choose your profit (salary). And you want to change the system? Okay...

Maybe she thinks you're hot.

[promethean75]

No man everything's inflated and n*ggas is payin too much for everything. Imma bout to make like $1200 in one day. That can't fuckin be right. I feel guilty. I dunno maybe i was a wage slave for so long I'm used to being broke.

I can't handle all this money. I'm going to Taco Bell tomorrow to fill out an application. Enough of this shit.

"Maybe she thinks you're hot"

Everybody thinks I'm hot. That's no excuse.

Uummm... having a lot of money and everything being expensive is the same as having an average amount of money and everything costs a normal amount.

My point about hotness is maybe her interest isn't in your bid total being too low.

[promethean75]

"having a lot of money and everything being expensive is the same as having an average amount of money and everything costs a normal amount."

Becuz the cost of living is so high, I'll spend all my money and be broke again?

You... you got a gift, my friend. Oh yeah.

I'm shoppin around to get a new 6.2 liter put in the escalade and I'm getting a quote from this mechanic. I says to em 'you wouldn't put a cleaned up used engine in it and sell the new one, thinkin I wouldn't know it, wouldja?' He gets mad at me like I'm insulting him. I explain how nearly every time I've ever had a vehicle serviced in a capitalist society, somebody lies or cheats or cuts a corner, etc. Then he goes 'i'm not like that', and i say 'yeah that's what they all say'. Long story short, the guy didn't like me much... I'm too much of a truther... so i won't be using him.

Ain't he a beaut? I worked my buttocks off to get this boss. Basically I've always wanted to be a west coast rapper but I can't rap for shit. So, I figured I'd just get the west coast rapper ride and I'd be straight.

...you filthy Capitalist!

Marx is rolling in his grave right now—better not let Rosa catch you driving that...

[promethean75]

Twenty years later and u still don't know what a capitalist is, Wiz.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[promethean75]

I would totally let Rosa ride shotgun, but I'd need to increase security measures first. Normally she travels by armored train.

[promethean75]

Lol somebody just tried to log into my Microsoft account becuz I received a one-time code in an email moments ago.

There's nothin incriminating in there, moron. And if u break into my phone, I'll just buy another one. Or do I already have one.

Why don't u go do something productive and rake the yard, instead? U don't have to bag the leaves either. Just push em to the curb.

[promethean75]

Oh snap i almost forgot. The security cam u hacked last week is history. I got another one (or is it two). See if u can find it.

Hint: it's not on my property
