Most people are chained to their own fear and stupidity and haven't the sense to level a cold eye at just what is wrong with their lives. Most people will continue on, dissatisfied but never attempting to understand why, or how they might change things for the better, and they die with nothing in their hearts but dirt and old, thin blood - weak blood, diluted - and their memories aren't worth a goddamned thing, you will see what I mean.- Hermann Kermit Warm

Excerpts from the article "Nerval: A Man and His Lobster"
To contact us Click HERE
I found this article on Harper's Magazine online and wanted to share my favorite parts (to reiterate, I did NOT write this):
source
So you alone are blessed, you free-thinking man,
In a world where life sprouts in everything?
You seize the liberty to dispose of the forces you hold,
But in all your plans a sense of the universe is lacking.
Honor in each creature the spirit which moves it:
Each flower is a soul moved by Nature’s face;
In each metal resides some of love’s mystery;
“All things feel!” And all you are is powerful.
Beware, even the blind walls may spy on you:
Even matter is vested with the power of voice…
Do not make it serve an impious purpose.
Often in the most obscure beings resides yet the hidden God;
And like the infant’s eye covered by its lid,
The pure spirit forces its kernel though the husk of stones.
–Gérard de Nerval, Vers dorés (1845) in Å’uvres complètes, vol. 1, p. 739 (J. Guillaume & C. Pichois eds. 1989)(S.H. transl.)
With all due respect for cats, however, let us consider the case for the humble lobster. The poet Gérard de Nerval had a penchant for lobsters, or at least for one lobster. Nerval was seen one day taking his pet lobster for a walk in the gardens of the Palais-Royal in Paris. He conducted his crustacean about at the end of a long blue ribbon. As word of this feat of eccentricity spread, Nerval was challenged to explain himself. “And what,” he said, “could be quite so ridiculous as making a dog, a cat, a gazelle, a lion or any other beast follow one about. I have affection for lobsters. They are tranquil, serious and they know the secrets of the sea.” (The episode is captured by Guillaume Apollinaire in a collection of anecdotes from 1911). Was there any basis to this story? A generation of Nerval scholars attempted to debunk it, but then a letter to his childhood friend Laura LeBeau was discovered. Nerval had just returned from some days at the seaside at the Atlantic coastal town of La Rochelle: “and so, dear Laura, upon my regaining the town square I was accosted by the mayor who demanded that I should make a full and frank apology for stealing from the lobster nets. I will not bore you with the rest of the story, but suffice to say that reparations were made, and little Thibault is now here with me in the city…” Nerval, it seems, had liberated Thibault the lobster from certain death in a pot of boiling water and brought him home to Paris. Thus we know that it was Thibault, and not just “some lobster,” who went for that celebrated promenade in the gardens of the Palais-Royal.
But Nerval’s attitude towards animals is not, as his contemporaries supposed, a casual eccentricity. Rather, he follows in the footsteps of the great Pythagoras, whose thinking has come down to us only in the fragmentary accounts of other writers—including the “Golden Verses” which provide direct inspiration to this remarkable poem. Pythagoras was a vegetarian of a very strict sort; indeed, he would not even harm beans, a fact which according to some accounts led to his death.
“All things feel,” says Nerval’s Pythagoras. There is a ribbon, though it may not be blue, that ties all the forms of life on our planet; their interrelationship is very profound. And humankind is too quick to assume its own mastery and to turn all other things and creatures to its use. But the lobster is a special case, as animal rights activists argue (still much disputed, particularly by the seafood industry) that lobsters are sentient beings with a great capacity for feeling pain which is maximized by the once-favored cooking technique of emersion in boiling water. When Nerval proudly took his lobster for a promenade, he was making the same point he made in this poem: humans make themselves the masters of their environment and the beasts around them, and in so doing have they not lost a sense of the universe and the natural order among beings? Do they not recognize obligations that go with that mastery? It was not, perhaps, quite so comic an act as it may have seemed.

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.
So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Some people talk to say something,
some when they have something to say.
- Narrator, Margie
You know the first time i saw you,
I decided to be forward.
I mean, I was already forward before I decided to be forward,
so it wasn't that much of a leap for me.
But I thought it would put you at ease.
- Fiona
It's my house.
I don't go places in it.
I come home to it.
- Lyman
People lose things, I pick them up.
- Lyman
Momma believed since you never really knew
when you're really gonna go,
it's best to keep a clear conscience.
Not led to some birdy awkward conversations,
I tell you.
Some things a son should never know.
- Mr. Charles Ballard
Dr. Reynosa: Your parrots thrive on contact.
Feather plucking is often associated with loneliness.
Have you thought about getting him a mate?
Lyman: No, this guy’s pretty ancient,
sex would probably pop his heart like a balloon.
Dr. Reynosa: Well, I don’t know about you,
but I’d say it’s a better way to go
than dying bald and alone.
I don't need a formal education to understand the obvious.
- Lyman
Lyman: Relationships.. they don’t last,
they all break in the end.
Fiona: Oh, that’s fairly pessimistic.
Maybe they don’t all last,
Lyman, but like they say,
doesn’t mean the fall wasn’t worth the ride.
- Fiona
Yup, eat, drink, and be merry.
I’m all for that.
It’s very optimistic.
- Fiona
I think some women believe that a man is born
the moment they meet him.
- Lyman
Lyman: Cars don’t break down as often,
but people need me as much as ever.
I don’t know,
it just doesn’t seem to mean much anymore.
Margie: You’ll find it again,
like your parrot.
Being lost is only temporary.
Some people talk to say something,some when they have something to say.

who don't want a relationship.
Steve: Won't you stop hookin' up?
Man respect woman who has standards, just get some!
Gina: K, so what are you gonna do?
you gonna trick him to give you a ring?
Kristen: I'm not tricking him.
I'm going to require him.
Gina: It's been nine years!
So what makes you think it's gonna change them?

Mya: See this is why you need to look.
Sonia: I don't want to be that one.
Mya: Steve says that the guy only fishes for two reasons:
Steve: number one, fishes to eat,
that means he's lookin' for a keeper.
Somebody to take home, somebody to introduce to his mom,
somebody to feel the life with.
Mya: Or two, he's lookin' for a sports fish,
that means he's lookin' for truth,
somebody to show off to his buddies,
put up on the wall as surprise,
but you gotta be careful with that one,

Ladies, few words are more menacing
than a dreaded for "we need to talk,"
that it means one of two things,
that we did something wrong,
or you, literally want to talk.
- Steve
Steve: Now ladies, if a man simply introduces you as his friend
then please understand you are nothing more than his friend.
See if a man has plan for you in his future,
he's gonna profess it, he's gonna attach a title to it,
You gonna be his woman, his lady, his fiancee, or..

My wife from Nebraska, she leaved because she had another man, rich man.
Okay, also perhaps with more hair, more sexy, like the baby face.

My friend, you know love? My friend?

In the beginning there was a question,
a question that took me 8 years to answer.
- Mitch Albom
Will you do my eulogy? That was his question.
My question was more blunt, why me?
I was a writer, a sports writer.
I've never done anything like what he was asking.
But as he walked down that hallway, although I didn't know it yet,
I was already following.
- Mitch Albom
This is a story of believing in something,
and the two very different man, who taught me how.
One was Alber Lewis, who follow the traditional path.
He's studied, was ordained, took a position at her temple, and never left.
The other, was Henry Covington.
He came to faith in a more round about way.
He starting with a things he saw as a child in the early 60's, in Brooklyn.

Someone once said that children are proof
that God has not discouraged.
But what keeps a child from losing faith?
- Mitch Albom
Albert knew when funny was the right medicine,
and when not so funny was the right medicine.
- Mitch Albom
Later that night I said to my father,
I says, it's not fair their family's not religious but they have money.
We're religious and we don't.
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
Mitch: What profits a man if he gains the world that loses his soul.
Albert: That's Jesus.
They say that power gives you the praise of man
but weakness brings you to God.
- Mitch Albom
Albert: So maybe faith is the same.
Many trees, the branches are all going to him.
Mitch: Have you looked at the world like..
The trees are attacking each other.
Albert: That's not faith, that's hate.
Mitch: Engaged in the name of a religion.
Albert: At wrongly.. "though shall not kill; honor thy neighbor."
If I mean these things, and the other guy means these things,
what do you get?
Mitch: Peace on earth.
Albert: You get orange juice, the big one.
I gonna go buy it.
Do for others.
Isn't that a half most man of God challenge us?
And it begins with the understanding the pain, of those around you.
Sometimes the pain of strangers,
and sometimes the pain of those closes to you.
- Mitch Albom
My friends, if we tend to the things that aren't important in life,
if we are right with those we love, and behave in line with our faith.
We will never wallow in the agony of "I should have, I could have", no.
We can sleep in the storm.
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
"If you tacka my space
I breaka you face."
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
Albert: He who saves his single life is as if he saves the entire world.
Mitch: Who said that?
Mitch's wife: It's the talmud, Mitch.
Albert: Your faith.
You never know the moment when a eulogy goes
from something you think about
to something you require...
This was not that moment.
- Mitch Albom
Grant me atonement.
Those were his last three words on the pulpit.
Then he took the seat of the back row of the sanctuary.
He's sermons were now complete.
- Mitch Albom
I used to think I knew so much
I can look down on a scawful things, even faith.
But I realized that night that
I am not better or smarter than anyone,
only luckier.
The man sleeping on Henry's church floor never look down.
They only looked up, to find comfort and love.
And I realized that in looking at Henry Covington,
I was seeing the rarest defends, a changed man.
Keep trying that you're glory.
- Rabbi Albert Lewis
I realized later it's not, about having the answers in life.
It's about the search for the answers.
The choosing to believe in something bigger than your self
that makes the journey of faith, so challenging, yet so worthwhile.
Whether it's sitting with an old rabbi and talking about God,
or replacing a churches riddled roof hole
in something a little more inspiring.
You share this world, we can share it well.
And there's nothing quite like different people
finding common ground to fix the holes in their lives.
- Mitch Albom
In the beginning there was a question,
in the end their question getting answered.
God sings, we hum along.
A simple, beautiful, song.
- Mitch Albom
In the beginning there was a question,a question that took me 8 years to answer.
- Mitch Albom
Will you do my eulogy? That was his question.
My question was more blunt, why me?
I was a writer, a sports writer.
I've never done anything like what he was asking.
But as he walked down that hallway, although I didn't know it yet,
I was already following.
- Mitch Albom
This is a story of believing in something,
and the two very different man, who taught me how.
One was Alber Lewis, who follow the traditional path.
He's studied, was ordained, took a position at her temple, and never left.
The other, was Henry Covington.
He came to faith in a more round about way.
He starting with a things he saw as a child in the early 60's, in Brooklyn.

Hey!
Still digging Halloween week? Me too.
I like to watch other people dress up in costumes and pull off elaborate things and themes and stuff.
I love when creative people blow my mind. Today I am posting a list of themes I have seen, but no photos to go with, because I'm too lazy to find and resize them.
True dat.

Seven Rad Group/Family Costumes
- The Jetsons - Parents, kids and a dog. SO ADORABLE. The ones I saw had made their costumes by hand. Hopefully youngsters know who The Jetsons are...
- The Simpsons - Yellow body paint and lots of plastic facial pieces. Crazy rubbery wigs and hat things and great clothing. Another cartoon family costume theme done well.
- BLT - The sandwich - mom and dad were bread, three kids(bacon, lettuce, tomato). I saw this online and they looked like store bought costumes but its hard to say.
- The Flinstones - Fred, Wilma, Pebbles so cute! Quite a commitment for the mom and dad too, thats a lot of orange hair and a lot of body hair...
- Legos - A big red and blue brick for mom and dad and then a smaller yellow brick for baby! AMAZING!
- Pac Man and family - Mr and Mrs Pac-Man and the four ghosts. Somebody with four kids must do this!
- S'mores - Mom and dad as graham crackers, kids as marshmallows and chocolate bar. I have a thing for the food combos like this, too cool.
Seven Halloween Treats For Your Next Fiesta

I have always wanted to throw a party for Halloween.
I might someday, but I already have the ideas for the food and treats!
Pinterest - heard of it? They've helped me out a lot. Also Pinterest is the reason for the lack of my productivity.

Seven Halloween Treats
- Mystery Box(of eyeballs) - All I will do is peel a bowl full of grapes and get them nice and cold. Then I will paint a box black with a cut out in the top of it and add a creative sign. Something about stick your hand in here, eyes were seen here, blah blah. And now I've ruined my surprise for everyone.
- Brain Cupcakes - I will bake vanilla cupcakes and fill with something red. Jam or cherry filling or something like that. Then I will make a putrid beige colored icing and pipe it to look like brains. Then you crack it it open and the blood comes out.
- Spider Webs - Take some pretzel rods and arrange them in an asterisk shape like this: *. Connect the pretzels with concentric lines of white chocolate and a bit of a blob in the center. Then fashion a mini spider out of a brown M&M and some chocolate jimmies. Repeat for all guests.
- Candy Corn Sugar Cookies - Make your favorite roll-able sugar cookie dough recipe. Divide dough in three and color some orange, yellow and leave some white. Layer the colors in a pan, chill. cut the stacked dough into strips and then cut them into triangles. The will be reversed but adorable! Food color is magic.
- Ear Wax - Take an old box of q-tips. Empty and set aside. Then take some lollipop sticks and put a mini marshmallow on each end. Dip each marshmallow in some butterscotch or caramel sauce to resemble ear wax. GROSS but also perfect and delicious.
- Eyeball Truffles - White chocolate truffles in a traditional round shape. Pipe on them in colors to make the irises and then red lines for a bloodshot look. I literally just thought this up. GOLD STAR.
- Witch Hats - Take one of those fudge shoppe cookies that the bottom half is dipped in chocolate. Flip it to chocolate side up. Then put a naked kiss on top. Using a festive colored icing, pipe a ribbon decor where the hat meets the brim.

Seven Things For November First

Happy November to you!
I cannot believe it is November already. How did the end of the year sneak up on us like that? Two months from now, it will be 2012. In the meantime, there is a lot left to be done before we send 2011 off fondly.
Do you have a list of things to get done? Let's compare lists, shall we?

Seven Things For November First
- I gotta start my Christmas shopping - seriously. I get very anxious the closer Christmas comes and just want to get the best gifts for everyone on my list. So, the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can relax and enjoy the season. Last year I finished by the Monday after Thanksgiving.
- Thanksgiving is coming! In my family that means Christmas gift name drawing, tamale time, and a silly football game. Oh and being thankful.
- To me, thanksgiving means Black Friday Eve. I have a long standing tradition of going out and spending too much money on Black Friday. This year I hear most stores are gonna open at 12 midnight...not sure how I feel about that.
- Time to make all charitable donations before the end of the year! Is this a weird thing to think about?
- Christmas music/decorations time! I do all the lights at my parents house and my own as well, now that I'm a homeowner, so this is no joke. I got lots of ladder time ahead of me! Also Christmas is coming! So exciting!
- This is the time of year that I forget I have a fireplace and then remember. Then I forget again and am reminded by KM. This is all despite the fact that from my perch on the couch and my recliner I can't help but see the damn thing.
- Be extra careful on the road season is here. Yes, you must be careful 24/7/365. However, Halloween through Super Bowl are the most dangerous times on the road as proven in a study conducted by me through my entire life. Its dangerous and I am not joking a single bit when I say to you, my dear readers: Please be careful this holiday season everyone, I can't find readers like you just anywhere.
