Sit on my Interface

Do you believe that the dead could materialize an object out of nowhere? I know one shouldn't believe everything they read, but I'm reading My Son and the Afterlife and the author, who is also an MD, claims her dead son materialized a dime in her car and that... get this... it disappeared when she was holding it between her fingers. Well, let's hear it!



I still have a suture back near where my wisdom tooth was, but I'm finally getting it out tomorrow. It's practically growing fur! I hate it! I still have a little hole back there too but can tell it's closing up. According to the surgeon everything is normal. Well an open hole is not normal to me. I'm still chewing on my right side only because I'm too scared to get food in there. Gross!


This isn't my x-ray but it's extremely similar to the positioning of my impacted tooth

Just finished a book called The Raw Shark Texts. So good! So different from anything I have read, really. Clicky to read the description. Is anyone on goodreads? Let's be friends! I'm at 27 books for the year so far!

I have a pilates/strength training class starting today with a friend. Looking forward to it because it's time I get active. Not massaging on a regular basis means I'm sedentary AF.

Task #3 of the BookRiot Read Harder Challenge:

📚A classic of genre fiction (I chose sci-fi) - The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury


I've always had a fondness for Bradbury. This was a cool little collection of sci-fi stories. Bradbury liked Mars, especially since there is another called The Martian Chronicles that I read in high school. One story in particular was a rocket crew that exploded out of the rocket in all different directions.The story is their conversation over their communication devices until the signal finally cuts. It freaked me out because space is scary.

Task #1 of the BookRiot Read Harder Challenge:

💀A book published posthumously - The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain


I saw a snippit of this story depicted in my all-time favorite movie from when I was a youngster - The Adventures of Mark Twain, a claymation film. It dragged on a bit but it was a good representation of the main subject - A lack of a moral sense in the angel named Satan and how it affects the life of three boys. "I can do no wrong for I do not know what it is."

Also, for my Goodreads 2018 reading challenge, I am up to 6 books so far! I'm a madman!!

Reading a book called A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming by Dylan Tuccillo.

I decided to get back in touch with dreams and dream intention for the purpose of better recall, journal and all. I've been doing great for the past week prior to beginning this book. Once I get into that, I will work on lucidity. Lucidity is rare for me these days but once you set your mind to it, opening the dream world to ourselves unfolds on its own. When I was a kid, it happened so often, and I was able to remain in the dream for what seemed like a nice amount of time. These days, the exhilaration wakes me up right away.

I learned something in the book about an old, disturbing dream incubation ritual that the Quechua Indians practiced (these things were just to help aid in the dreamer's wish for the dream).

The Quechua Indians of Peru would perform a sleep incubation ritual that would start with the patient being rubbed from head to toe with a live guinea pig. It was done in such a way that the guinea pig would die by the end of the procedure. Afterward, the animal would be skinned and from the blood and entrailed a diagnosis would be read.

Extreme much?

I read a great e-book called The Day I Died by Ray Harris. I read a lot of NDE books, but this one was great because he was instructed to bring back a message to humanity. This book wasn't cheesy, I liked it a lot. The only gripe is his shameless plugs toward the middle/end of his other e-books. he also talks about 5th dimension awareness, which is the concept that past present and future are occurring simultaneously (not linear) and that we are all connected. There is no separation despite the fact being in a body gives us a sense of separateness.

From the book:

•First dimension: The scientific description of One Dimension is a horizontal line. A line that is either from left to right or right to left. There is no up or down. A consciousness that lives in One Dimension cannot perceive any higher dimension than this, not because the higher dimensions are not there, but because it cannot expand its consciousness to that higher level of understanding.

•Second dimension: The scientific description of Two Dimensions is a flat surface (or even a flat surface that’s been bent into a tube). That means that in this dimension, there is forward and back, and left and right that can be experienced.

•Third Dimension: The scientific description of Three Dimensions is a Cube, Cylinder or Sphere, where a creature can move left and right, forward and backwards and up and down. In other words, in a Three-Dimensional world, it could move in any direction within that Cube, Cylinder or Sphere.

•Fourth dimension: The scientific description of the Fourth Dimension is a temporal dimension, being the dimension of time.

•Fifth dimension: To put it simply, the concept of Fifth-Dimensional Consciousness is largely about comprehending the existence of life in all of its various potentialities as one entity. It is a Dimension that brings space-time into a conscious understanding that all things are happening now. The Fifth Dimension and the associated elevated awareness that accompanies it, create a movement of consciousness rather than a movement on the physical plane.

Once we change our perspective, this raises our vibrations and we can ascend to said vibrations in our waking life. This may sound like crazy-town but it resonates with me. I especially like when he discusses the dying process. I'd love your input!

So finally feeling normal after Hurricane Irma. Even though my area was not hit dead on, there was a lot of damage around town, mostly downed trees and fences. Power was also out for nearly a week. I feel bad for the Caribbean because they got hit HARD by Irma and just now Maria. Look at the before and after (This is ONLY after Irma):


St. John, more
I am rewatching Twin Peaks and picking up on small nuggets that I can appreciate having seen the ending. Being in this certain TP group on facebook really gets many theories and ideas in everyones' heads that helps me feel better at times. There really is no explanation and I know it was Lynch's intention to not have to explain anything as we are to interpret it how we individually choose to. It's in our nature to have reasoning behind everything but some things we cannot and that is life and that is what TP was likened to. Life, and how it doesn't always add up. I've been doodling a Twin Peaks tattoo idea because I've wanted a TP tattoo for years and I'm getting the itch again. I have a $100 tattoo place gift certificate that's just burning a hole in my wallet. I hope it didn't expire because I won it years ago.


My mom had to go to the ER due to an allergic reaction to a generic medication. She does fine with it if it's name-brand but what the hell filler did they put inside to set her off? It looks like there are fleshy tea-bags under her eyes now. I know they will take over a week to go down. I had a reaction once and got one bag under my eye. It seemed to only affect half of my face, but it took a while for that to look normal again. I will spare her her dignity and refrain from posting a pic.

I'm getting the itch to start drawing portraits. We used this method in a portfolio class I had in high school in which you overlay your image of choice with a grid and then transfer it to a larger piece of paper with a larger grid to scale. Basically you draw one square at a time instead of being overwhelmed by the whole picture. I'm thinking some Twin Peaks related characters or maybe horror movie related things. Mine from high school was pretty good, it was black and white paint. I am not really at ease with paint but I may give it a shot once the basic sketch is done. But, it's not like photoshop where I can delete mistakes, so there's that. I also want to get my TP bracelets made again, I have two new 3d charms that were made from polymer clay that will be awesome lookin'.

I'm reading No Death, No Fear by Thich Nhat Hanh. It was a gift from a friend because I'd expressed I've dealt with death anxiety. The book can apply to life so it's worth a read even if you don't worry about death/dying. This is a quote that really hit home for me:

“When conditions are sufficient, we manifest. When conditions are no longer sufficient, we no longer manifest. It does not mean that we do not exist. Like radio waves without a radio, we do not manifest.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

I've always like the spacesuit analogy which is basically just like this one with other terms. We are not our bodies, we are within our bodies, like a car or a space-suit. What are your thoughts on this?

I am also reading a book called The Book Collector by Alice Thompson which I actually heard of from a dream-friend beautyizdead via Goodreads. I'm digging it so far! It's a short one so hope to be done today or tomorrow, time permitting. This is getting TL;DR so consider this entry at a close.

I just finished reading the start of another series (The Order of the Sanguines) called The Blood Gospel.


A soldier, a priest, and an archeologist walk into a bar... not really. They are all in Israel in an attempt to uncover the Blood Gospel, a book reportedly written by Christ in his own blood. And hey! The Bathory story is also woven into this story. There are vampires, called the Strigoi, and those called Sanguinists. The latter are priests that follow the church and drink a wine infused with Christs blood by special consecration or blessing, as opposed to human blood. This is all brought about by an old prophecy and the book ends before a new mission so I am assuming book 2 will pick right up.


Another book I am reading, published in 1887, is called Ten Days in a Mad-House written by a woman named Nellie Bly, a reporter, who fakes her way into an insane asylum in order to report her findings on the treatment of patients, etc... I instantly think Lana Winters from season 2 of American Horror Story.

I finished Heartsick by Cain. I loved it. I am already on to the second one, called Sweetheart.

( Spoilers )

A musical artist from very close to where I live had a shitty concert ending when a suicide bomber hit the venue and killed over 20 people; many of them children, and many still missing. No news of any affiliation with terrorist organizations at this time, or motive, but the fact remains that it happened and pretty much renders any "reasoning" behind it null and void.

I rewatched part 1 of the new Twin Peaks and it is definitely worth repeating this episodes after going through once. It gives perspective and makes this a little less bonkers (if that is possible of a Lynch film). I plan on watching the rest of the episodes as time permits.

I have been reading books less than 100 pages to help keep up with my challenge on Goodreads. Do you think that is cheating? I mean they are books. Those among them are:



That about covers it; two of these are still in process. Not sure what to move onto next. What are you reading?

I'm sick for the second time this year, which is unusual, but the germs just become germier until one day we cannot stand.

At least there is a NEW Twin Peaks teaser showing some of our favs 25yrs later. I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing, but unless I go to my mom's to watch I won't be able to see it until the next day.



I'm reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. It's simple to read, and entertaining. It's also not long as hell, which I appreciate. If you love Norse mythology, definitely read it.
