The Oracle Of Aticama

The Cold Hunters Moon

2019-10-12T23:27:00.002-07:00

Hello readers,

NOTE: I am angry with the foul injustice that has overtaken the moral and social values. I use cursing and swearing and pointed sarcasm in this post. It is NOT my intention to offend.

It is October's Full Moon and it is the saddest full moon for our planet in my life. If you dont want to be reminded of the truth, if you want to pretend that everything is ok - well then you better stop reading right now.

We as a nation lie in disgrace. There is an evil, evil monster devouring the good of our country and we stand in numb horror at the evil hatred that he is stirring up among us, at the fearsome loathing he has cast upon mankind and the world we live on. At this very moment he has handed the Kurds to his Turkish cronies to slaughter innocent humans. Our allies. He has given Syria to our enemies. Betrayed the soul of our great nation to greedheads and lying bastard lawyers who bend their monster bile into shapes that have become temples to the demons of doubt. All around us, every day people are dying from the real bullets of hate. If you are not white you are a target. This fat, small handed Hitler is bent on the destruction of all that is good and honest. You know it, I know it and the world knows it. My classmates at college who are not white, speak english as a second language live in fear. The Environment Protection Agency has become a joke - an instrument for the destruction of our Earth and we all know it. Coal is filthy, no coal is good and pure, no coal is our friend and so is oil. Good fuel economy in our cars is bad. Joe Biden eats babies. The democrats are fucking devils. The supreme court is honest. The state department is honest. Wall street is kind to poor people and poor people just started living on the streets last year and the democrats are to blame. California pollutes so much that the cars have to get shitty mileage in order to save our air. Our water is clean and healthy and we dont have to worry cause there is a lot of it on the way from the melting ice caps. Education is well funded. Forest fires are good in California and bad everywhere else. China hates our farmers and silicone valley. Nancy Pelosi is a bitch. The economy is real and not the same as it was in 2007 under George Bush. The republicans are saints. Praise God and pass the ammunition. Fuck the jews, they deserve it, they voted for Hillary. Mexico is an evil empire and a threat to our national security so a metal, razor spiked, electrified, crok filled moted 100 foot and counting high wall must be built across america - sea to shining sea. And the Canadians are out to kill us too. IN fact everyone except fat white republicans are out to kill us.
War is Peace. Death is Life. Bad is Good. The pope lives in Hell. Food Stamps are making single mothers with venereal disease rich because they fucking live in Cadillacs. Bloody steak and shiny golf carts. Republicans kissing warlord asses wiped with silk toilet paper. Beast Billionaires sucking the life out of the middleclass - wait! That cant be right! This is AMERICA, god damn it. We dont do that shit. Praise God and pass the micro plastic, I mean, got to keep those cancer cells healthy. Right? And our youth? Dont even worry about our kids man - they got mindless, 27/7 high resolution media to keep them perpetually numb when they are not commiting suicide. Did I forget something? Is that all that has happened since the last full moon?

But, dont worry. The drones are coming.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words. Listen Up People.

Some of you think I may be exaggerating, that it cannot possibly be that bad. What about the noble values of mankind, of compassion, wisdom, trust, tolerance and faith in something more than just killing?

Well, what about it? Think that this posting is a little dark? Just try looking outside. Ever wonder what the news does not report? Things like guys gluing themselves to the top of airplanes to make a point. Or Hanoi Jane (remember her?) getting off her ass and getting arrested. What was the last time you got off your ass and did something? Or me? I am just as much to blame. Problem is, our children will pay the price. But who cares, we will be dead and they can fend for themselves. Too cold in October under 3 feet of snow, just go 4oo miles away and bake in the ovens of the Idiot South.

So, what brought all of this on? Simple. I love and care for my children. I hope you do as well. Lets do something to fix this fucking mess. Call your republican jerkwad trumpzombie senator and tell him to grow a backbone and do his fucking job. Write (remember how to do that?) somebody important. Even if it is your mother or your friends or a blog. Talk to the people in the grocery, on the street. Prove to yourself that you care. March if you give a shit. But do SOMETHING. Is this what you really, truly want america to be?

What will it be like by the time the next full moon arrives?
I won't blame you a bit if you never read this blog again. I dont like writing it. It makes me sick but..... it is the truth, and we ALL know it.

See you next month.

The September Full Moon & "Small Dude"

2019-09-13T09:13:00.001-07:00

Good morning readers,

A lot has happened over the last few weeks! Francis is nailing down the rehearsals for 'Radium Girls' and begins more college classes in 10 days at PCC Rock Creek. Thomas has been helping me with house projects. Next week it is 2 solid days of firewood splitting. He licenced his motorbike so now he is commuting with that. He starts classes in 10 days also. Carter has been driving lots and is rapidly becoming an ace driver. Carter returned to school last week and he is really enjoying it! Rehearsals have started for the ACMA production of 'Cabaret' so Carter is after school every day! The kids are all dedicated students and I am very proud of them. They still spend too much screen time, but, looking at the world we live in can anyone blame them?......

Working at the retirement center has been difficult for me emotionally because I have made dozens of true friendships. The seniors, for the most part, are very intelligent people with great personal histories - professors, doctors, lawyers, military, artists, you get the idea. And they are dying at the rate of one every other week. Watching the ambulance's arrive from the Bistro windows is hard. This is an occupation that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Many of the residents have no one in their lives, others do but many dont ever get visitors. Nearly all are very upset about what Trump is doing to our country and our world. These seniors helped shape the great history of our society and their clarity of vision is inspirational.

I have been busy. Installing a new (to us anyway) garden window in the living room has been a real job (second story); the chicken coop de ville (now up to 8- 10 eggs a day); repairing the various motocycles and vehicles; cleaning the never ending blackberries; fixing the driveway and paths; re-organizing the kitchen; school shopping with Carter; attending my writing group; re-building old high fidelity audio gear (for pin money); preparing to return to classes (19 credit hours this term - pushing hard to get all the pre-reqs out of the way plus 12 hours weekly for work study); attending a minimum of one live theater performance per week, and the domestics - that is a lot, even for me.

And dont get me started on what that bastard Trump "Small Dude" is doing to the world....

And that's it for now. I will turn my blog off on Sunday, Sept 15 but you can look for it the next full moon. Until then, remember...

Well, I think I have my term calendar worked out - I will be turning off my blog most of the time for the next few months but I do plan on doing a monthly update on each full moon. So, if you are interesting in following the adventures of my little family, check in then - I will leave it open for a day or so at that time. Ok, see you saturday, sept 14th.

Plans Change

2019-08-25T09:04:00.002-07:00

Good morning readers,

The 23rd of August came and went. The full moon came and went. No time at all to post, let alone set up a new blog!

So, what happened? Simply put.... single parenthood. Most single parents are women. I work with several, I go to college with many. Women who selflessly devote every moment to the raising of their children. Single fathers? Not so many.

Yesterday Carter and Thomas and Uncle Bill and I finished (at last) the fence construction of the new ChickenCoop De Vil. 9 foot high chicken wire fence. An enclosure about 25' x 20'. Multi level.

Carter finished the summer Japanese course at college. At age 15 Carter received a high B grade and starts their sophomore year in high school with 5 credit hours. It was a lot of work for both of us! Pushing $1000.00 out of pocket for tuition and materials and transportation time. Shame on our society for not providing the youth of america with educational grants, scholarships and the likes for deserving, ambitious students. Shame, but then look what is going on in our country. The monsters have taken over and the greedy stench is nearly overwhelming.

Thomas just finished his regular summer term's two courses, nailing down both of them with 4.0 gpa in both. Now that he is driving his work study money mostly goes to cover his obscene auto insurance cost. Seems like the system is rigged to suck all of the time, energy and hope out of our youth. Last week Thomas started a two week sculpting 'intensive' where he is learning to create human sculptures. Something he has never done before. Here is a photo of the 4th one he did last week - took him 4 hours. What do you think?

I will creating a new one soon with a link to this blog. I have enjoyed writing most of the time, however, there have been rough spots and times when that 15 or 20 minutes a day to write this has just been too much.

I wish you all well. Look again for me in the fall, unless something really important comes up. Until then this blog will be unavailable beginning 08/23/19

Auto Insurance

2019-08-08T07:38:00.002-07:00

Good Morning Drivers

I have had the same auto insurance provider for decades. It seems that the rules and rates have been changing a lot over the last few years. Now I have to pay extra because the kids are getting older - even if they dont drive! I paid $25 a month when I was single. Then, when the ex started driving it jumped to $60 and stayed that way for a long time. Keep in mind that I have a fantastic driving record and have 'platinum ' status but, now that Francis and Thomas have licenses and Carter has a learners permit, the rate has jumped to $284.00 a month!! And that is with the excellent school rate and bundling with the home insurance. I guess that I should not complain but it is now our second largest monthly expense. As a single, sole provider parent, it is difficult to make the payments and, like so many others in my situation, life does not include restaurants, movie theaters or new (off the shelf) clothing.

Ok, just had to cry a little about it before we all head off to college this morning.... life is getting better overall, a little bit at a time and the chickens are growing like crazy - expect eggs soon!

Sixteen Tons and What Do You Get?

2019-08-05T22:42:00.001-07:00

i have reason to celebrate. i have spent the majority of my life thinking that my terrifying spelling, rapid letter reversal, doomation style comprehension when it comes to concepts of things as old as the ocean, and general poor memory was normal. Turns out that i have a math symbol dyslexia.

The Principal Of Dynamic Uncertainty.

What this means is that I will have a gruesome work load in college the next couple of terms. Math. my doom. Math has haunted me my whole life. A metaphorical demon always hovering above my left shoulder that was always there, no matter how hard i study and apply myself. The last term was math and it was academic hell for me. I did manage to ace it but at the expense of copious amount of time and a little neglect towards my other disciplines...

so i took an exhaustive psy test to determine what the math problem is. Genetic dyslexia. From the father's side of the equation. From my mothers side - razor sharp reasoning, the intelligence to run a school district that was my grandfathers legacy. Way, way brainiac. So, after a grueling, mind numbing 4 hour test administered by a grand po-pa of a wizened old woman psychiatrist named Doctor Linda. Then two weeks in not knowing limbo till this morning at 8am sharp. 9 page report. 10 minutes exact explanation.

The results? The math demon long ago ripped out of my mind the ability to fathom math. Broken dreams of rocket science. Oh well. The other side of the coin shows an exceptional creative genius. What is bad for math turns out to be good for my creative mind.

And the upshot? Yea! Substitute Psy191! No math is required any longer to get my degree. Bitchen Camaro. 12 heinous credit hours gone! replaced with one 4 course credit.... and time for the arts element of my Minor - Art....

I would have never thought that art would be for me...

Hello again,

Life has been busy! Full time parenting, work, school, home projects.... you have heard it all from me before...Thomas and Carter are doing well in college summer class. I just finished my college intensive summer, Francis just finished a theater run. Thomas, Francis now have drivers licence. Carter has a learners permit.

School, Transportation And The New Chicken Coop

2019-07-06T10:38:00.001-07:00

Hello again,

Seems like I live a busy life! The new Theater class that I am enrolled in is interesting. I have gone to two classes now and am getting a feel for the course. There are, at present, about 6 socially challenged people from the community mixed with college students and interns. It is nice - an hour of physical conditioning followed by some theater basics.

Thomas and Carter are both on track and studying hard.

I just ran Francis to downtown Portland where he will catch a 'Bolt Bus' to Eugene, Oregon. He is going to visit a close friend who attends U of O.

The chicken coop is a big job. Preparing the old structure and the surrounding area, new hard pack clay ground base with a couple of inches of rock and salvaging materials is physically demanding and takes all of my spare daylight time.

It is all worth it.

Just A Little School For The Summer

2019-07-01T21:52:00.000-07:00

Hello People,

Well, I thought that I would be staying home all summer and working on the place and assorted projects. And, I am mostly right. However....

The college got in touch with me and asked me if I would participate in a pilot program in the theater department. 8 theater students from PCC and 8 behavioral study students from Pacific University will together work with 8 socially challenged people - age 14 through 75- selected from the regional community. The idea is to help these local people develop social and educational skills to express themselves. We all meet 4 days a week for the month of July at the PCC campus, conceive a theater play, write it, coach the new 'actors' to perform in it and then mount it at the Pacific Theater at the end of the short/intensive term!

The concept is modeled after a successful program in England where it has made a wonderful difference in a lot of lives. I do not have the money to take the course for credits so I am auditing it for around $60.00. Here is a link to the program if you would like to check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Rw_V8rMSKF4FmmUl2AnzA/videos

I am flattered and honored to be selected from the greater Portland theater community to participate.

Carter has finished the first week of Japanese course. Challenging for anyone, let alone a sophomore in high school! Lots of serious study and dedication. Thomas is, not surprisingly, kicking butt in the sculpture class. I just got my spring term final grades - straight 4.0 and on the Presidents' List for the 8th time.

A Friend Is Leaving To Die

2019-06-25T10:50:00.000-07:00

Hello children of parents,

Yesterday, at my job working at the retirement center, a man and his son approached me with some news. Their mother (who I will call Mrs. J) had a bad heart attack the night before and was going to die anytime. She had asked her son to come to the center and let her friends know. She has a marvelous personality and we have become friends over the last 9 months. A regular at the Happy Hour she was animated and entertaining. We all made audio recordings for her - she heard them last night. Mrs. J is flying home to Sunriver to die. I have happy water in my eyes and I will miss her.

Old Sayings,

I noticed that today's quote, like many things, has a grain of truth contained within it to make it sound somehow more real, more sage or more authoritative.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche

I say that is bullshit. What doesn't kill you seldom makes you stronger - it only hurts you and makes life more difficult! Who really wants pain and suffering - physically or emotionally? Anyone else out there have rheumatoid arthritis? It does not make you stronger. Lung issues? Does not make you stronger. I know after supporting my family with these conditions - a bonus from decades in construction. Sometimes I ache so bad that I cant hardly walk. So, ask yourself (I do) - What is the Measure Of A Man?
In my case it is dedication to my children. It gets me up in the morning, it guides me to be a good student, it propels me to pursue a better income.

What makes you stronger is fulfilling your commitments, showing love through your actions, being selfless.

Live Theater Fans..

Francis just told me - he was just notified that he made the lead role of Arthur Roeder in the Hart Theater fall production of 'Radium Girls'

This is a big deal! One of the most dramatic roles written for the stage in a heart tearing story of women working in contact with radioactive paint to make a living:

Radium Girls: A Play in Two Acts

D.W. Gregory

3.84 · Rating details · 163 ratings · 19 reviews

From the book back:

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage- until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not only with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but also with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire.

That puts the 'right now' pressure on to get a more economical vehicle on the road. So, maggy came out of storage a month ago, clean, tune and do a little electrical work to the lights and.....

Happy Birthday Rowena

2019-06-04T12:18:00.002-07:00

Hello All,

I just wanted to take a very long moment off from my very busy life to wish Rowena a happy and wonderful birthday.

Sounds a bit crazy, but my eyes are full of tears for the way things turned out but more for the memories of joy and happiness that we shared for most of our time together. Perhaps the times or the eventual expectations were just not meant for a lifelong love, perhaps it was just that world changed in ways that we could not anticipate. But, I know that it started out as a true and caring love that brought us three incredible children, hard times and good times, sickness and health.

I was in her little house in the Philippines when she turned 19. Even now it stays with me as one of the most memorable days of my entire life. I did love her as Weng and nothing, nothing ever, will ever change what we had between us. With all of my heart and soul I wish her the best on her birthday, that she can find a life that gives her happiness and peace of mind.

Adios Amor, remember with fondness A World Of Love.

That is not my intention, just some sort of copy glitch........................................................................Good Morning Remembers, well, it seems like soo very long ago but it also seems like yesterday that we were a happy little family. You know there has been a lot written about me in the last 4 or 5 months or so. Mainly bitter, divisive things that are not true. And that hurts a lot. It is interesting to watch the number of people reading my blog spike from time to time - I can only guess that it is people reacting to more things said on a private blog. To that I would say that it is easy to kick a blind man.............. "Poverty is a state of mind" - that has nothing to do with how much money a person has. We all know that the richest people alive do not count happiness in terms of dollars or new clothes or days we eat in nice restaurants. True happiness comes from sharing your life with those you love............I would encourage ALL who read my words to seek out the truth. It can be found in the actual actions that a person does in everyday life - how hard you work and for what reason, how you communicate, what you have committed to with your loved ones, and, at the end of the day, how you remember the things that have brought you to the moment you lie you head down to go to sleep, where you sleep and who you are sleeping with.

Philippines 2002

As mention in my yesterday's post to share my story of our visit in my birth country, back in 2002.

After my 2nd son was born in 2000, the hubby was picking up so many work. I remember him working so many hours and going in so many places. At the time I did not have a licensed to drive although I own a vehicle for emergency. But for most of the errands we have to coordinate. It was a very challenging time, with the new born and a 3 year old.
It has been rolling into the 4th year not seeing and visiting my family and I was getting home sick. So we decided that we work and save for a year and leave for the RP in the winter of 2001 to 2002..
The most expensive to buy going back home to visit is the ticket to fly.. Back then 2 were still babies and 2 adults.. It was not as bad...
And we did it!

We bought a Jeepy!

We made enough money that we were able to buy our own vehicle for use while there! I do not remember what the model of this one but it was fun. And we did vacation.. We traveled to the Island of Camiguin where hot springs is available not far from my Island.

Here are the boys 5 and 2 yrs old.

Me, my 2 friends our hired nanny and my sister L-R!

On this photo we pose for picture all wearing my clothes.. A fashion show if you will.. Happy memory for me.

One of the cottage we rented on the trip.

This was a garden resort close to my parents house.

And this picture below was the cottage under the arrow above. It was on of what was called the executive room. It had an a/c and hot water. This garden resort is facing north on the tip of the Island of Mindanao and the view was great. At the time it was a bit high on the price to stay for it was a newly opened resort. But it was worth it. The hubby and I took 2 nights off in this cottage and left the boys with my parents and had a good time.

Solid wood cottage with A/C and hot shower..

We manage to be away from Oregon for 12 weeks. Wow! That was amazing, thinking about it now! It would be a lot more work and much more money to get us back home to RP my family now that we are 5 and mostly adults.. One word, Expensive... I am grateful with this trip..

Good morning drivers,

Not much time to post anything! Very, very busy for next 2 weeks - 3 upcoming exams, 3 end of term projects, 3 field trips, change front breaks on the boys car, work at the retirement center, work study at college, catch up on the domestics, help with the new chicken coop construction, get Thomas's motorcycle out of storage and ready for his riding classes in June and try to find time for sleep. And, of course, shuttle the kids around (average 2 hours a day) - Carter has meetings with the college about attending Japanese classes this summer (oh, yea and I still need to raise $400 more dollars for that by June 8th), register for fall classes, and see Francis's closing show June something with Thomas and Carter. And go to DMV to get tags for my old motorcycle (60mpg vs. 20mpg in the van)....
