That’s my best Electric Company scream,…remember that? Say, I just posted a new POST I truly would like some feedback on. I swear this will be the last poetry I subject you all to for a bit. I’d rather appreciate those that don’t care so much for ‘reading’ my poetry, but might enjoy having it read TO you…by ME…LOL~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 8:28 pm Holy doctor Theopolis! Them’s some impressive numbers on ANY series of tubes! Great work here you founding four! I have left the other site on the other side of the Planet for good. I am truly, truly happy to be able to speak my mind freely without having to disguise my text from trolls and wishy-washy Mods. It was beginning to be like a bad relationship over there…I just kept going back for the abuse because it made me FEEL…..Now here, the FEELINGS are the proper kind. Great people, great Admin, and great, lively, topical and EDUCATED debate!!! I am refreshed! » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 7:00 pm Sakes, the guy is one of the finest guitar players alive… ask people in the industry…they’ll tell ya’… Here’s a bit of trivia: If everyone thinks Mr. Frampton was a nobody of the 70s…. …then why is Mick freakin’ Jagger singing BACK UP on this song?… Oh, …and another nobody named little Stevie Wonder is playing the keyboards on this one as well….LMAO~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 6:21 pm Woooooo!!!!!

One response to my last 2009 poem?!?!?! OOooooohhhh,…you all need to drink more and THEN rate my dirty, nasty, prurient, sexy poem….LMAO…. ‘prurient’….proo’ree’ ENT!….Whew~~~ say that 10 times fast when you’re schnockered….LOL~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 6:52 pm I’m not entirely sure I have a condom powerful enough to inoculate myself and anyone else in a 1/4 mile radius against the infection that that ~ahem~ woman has. …or as we guys used to say to each other in high school when told about the ‘easy’ girls….. ..” I wouldn’t fcuk her with YOUR dick,…Cheney….”… I made myself laugh….. » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 6:26 pm Hmmmm…is there a possibility of seeing Sarah Palin’s igloo from where you are?… » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 5:29 pm Thank you, Hope. I feel a special connection with you due to our similar paths. I have to believe the coming year is going to be a positive new start for us both. Woo wee…but right at this second….wow…I’m feeling lower than a worm’s belly button. I don’t what I’d rather open right now…a pack of sparklers or the coconut rum……LOL~ (be it known I do not drink…the booze is in the house for cooking purposes….LOL) » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 5:08 pm All the best in the new year, my friends. Be the change you seek, live the life you choose. You are all factories of ideas, memories and dreams…so keep the engine running and grab that ring when you pass it… Please read my last poem of 2009 on the post Renaissance: The Masked Venetians. » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 4:33 pm Funny you should mention it, my friend…I just posted my last and…well…somewhat…adult poem for 2009 on the Arts & Entertainment page. I think it’s a decent enough ending to the 1st half of my bizarro life. I struggle to find hope…I often find it here. » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 9:05 am I thought I might post a brief Happy New Year to all of my friends here @ POV. All of you have lifted me up in so many ways this last…horrible year. I am a lucky man. I am a better man…simply for having all of you counted among my true friends….Thank you all so very much. » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 31, 2009 @ 8:41 am When To Give Terrorists What They Want And When Not To You’re right, of course, …I was a little off-topic but was feeling a rant building. Haha~ I feel cynical in saying that that’s how I feel when I hear just about any GOP’er say just about anything. LOL~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 30, 2009 @ 10:36 am For as long as I can remember, I have thought about this matter as it relates to religion as a business. And make no mistake, religion is even more lucrative, clever and profitable than the 2nd most exploited endeavor, porn. Just look on about every street corner in America and witness religion’s power as that new Worship Hall or Fellowship Temple or Mosque gets built. Now consider how many people are without homes, stuck in poverty or at the mercy of the give to the poor, but not enough to actually help them UP, but keep them dependent on the religious machine. This is prevalent in ALL religions across the globe with few exceptions. This exploitation has existed since religion was introduced to bring order (and profit) from chaos. Once you convince others of your superiority over them, you can rule the world. (Jedi mind tricks work great on weak minded) » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 30, 2009 @ 7:59 am I believe I have experienced a moment of serendipity DURING a brouhaha once….~smirk~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 6:36 pm Wow, …what a great and wonderful thing! These are those moments of serendipity that are just universal gifts. Give her a huge hug and celebrate her, and your, life. God it feels so sweet when one of the good ones pulls through…;-) » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 6:23 pm LMAO~~ Now I’m terrified MGM/VIACOM is going to call me back for a recurring role on Tough Trade! (..although I am pleased that BD Mom considers me a ‘young fool’…LOL) …no offense taken from anyone here at all…no worries. Heck, I’M the one that had to play dress up!…haha~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 3:40 pm I certainly will keep the old picture. I would never wish to be associated with the semi-literate ANYTHING crowd…LOL~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 3:03 pm Oh trust me….still a bad (good) guy. I’m just no longer attractive to: 1 – Employers » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 3:02 pm Yep, well…here in the VERY Red (neck) state of Tennessee there seems to be a very odd, real and palpable difference in the caste system of ruralia. (I made a new word!) » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 2:58 pm Haha~ Well, some were curious about how they ‘gussied me up’ for the shoot. And trust me, there is NO ONE more disgusted by illiterate, country-bumpkins than me. I have always been, am now and will forever be anti-establishment. LOL~ I was a punk in the 80s and am a middle aged punk now. However, I have justified my ‘cowboy’ experience as an ‘insider F-You’ to all things country….Haha~ » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 29, 2009 @ 8:50 am A Few Poems From My Newest Book… …Yes, and Adlib….Perhaps a poetry corner or some area for creative writing would be rather neat here at POV. Certainly would set this site aside from the rest of the stone cold money machine sites we all know of. Our thoughts put on paper are like children in a very real respect. They appear from the soul and cannot be disputed. They are ours….alone. …that and I feel weird using your creation as a soapbox solely for my pieces. Please consider an area for this output. your friend, Scott » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 28, 2009 @ 12:29 pm As I’ve said before, all of you are important to me. I realize very well how odd that sounds when I’ve never met any of you in person, yet I feel close to so many of you. Your words inspire me to write more and take more photos…if only for myself. » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 28, 2009 @ 12:20 pm Here is another entry and I will try to post every so often. If I’ve learned anything it’s that it’s best to pace yourself. ~smile~ http://www.blurb.com/books/1012658 A Thief in the Temple Her heartbeats ever slow…. A silent dedication to self-reliance The thief becomes a murderess Then the deed is delivered Scott Palmer » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 28, 2009 @ 9:01 am Nominations – The Planet’s Top Posts of 2009 Sadly, I have no poems about adorable kittens. I cannut haz cheezbugga~ Adlib for Night B4 Xmas parody. Classic. So many others to choose from….hmmmmm. » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 28, 2009 @ 5:33 pm I will do what I have to do to stay online and in touch here. I have no idea when I could find myself without a home and without internet. Chernykanya, PK, Kesmarn …you lift me. I’m still terrified of losing the roof over my head and I just know that if I can find shelter and a little fucking time to catch my breath and rebuild…I’ll be okay. There’s no way of knowing how this will all turn out. Walking ‘through’ this time…yes…I understand that. I only want to be safe…don’t want to be rich…don’t want fame…I just need to be safe…and secure. I no longer want relationships…apparently I am far too bad at at them to endure any more. I give too much of myself and my heart for my own good. So tired of loss. I’d like to post a few poems, Adlib and need to know the best forum for these. I do not want to wear out my welcome here, too. This is Fall Away… fall away now a scent on the breeze beauty yields its treasure shadows fall away » Posted By TheRarestPatriot On December 26, 2009 @ 4:31 pmComments Posted By TheRarestPatriot
I was a radio personality back in the 80s so getting back to broadcasting feels a little like coming home…(pun intended)
The accent is what I call Skittish….it’s a little northern British and a touch of southern Scotland….LMAO~
Please take a listen and have a great new year all!
I’m going to have to keep my level of decorum and wit to a respectable roar in the new year….Haha~
We all breathe for an instant, yet the trick is to live for a lifetime.
Best wishes and profound peace in the coming year and all after!
I am quite familiar with the whole C Street gang and stories swirling around it. It sickens me and terrifies me in many other ways. As I’ve mentioned before in my posts, whenever there is a governmental, administrative or secular problem or issue, whatever the story is being told publicly, multiply that story by 100 times worse and you’ll be closer to the truth. This is sad, but this is the world we live in. Today the word ‘lie’ and the concept of it, has been reduced to the concept of ‘spin’.
It reminds me of a quote from Orsen Welles; spoken just before going to stage with his actors and artists on the radio production of War of the Worlds…he turned to them and said…”…now let’s go lie our asses off!…”.
Also, America with her profound ability to proclaim HER superiority globally has pissed off a ton of folks wondering where we get off. This is especially true in 2nd and 3rd world countries where we send missionaries and preach conversion. Aren’t we wonderful? Yes, there are good things created by our presence abroad, yet for the most part, we simply infuriate other societies by demanding they convert to western philosophy and ways as these ways are the ONLY way to live their collective lives and their culture, history and beliefs be damned….literally. Is it any wonder they take up arms against us? The days of Imperialism were supposed to have ended with Britain relinquishing their hold on India, etc. Of course, America hides behind wars and aide to extend our reach.
I think the mindset of the American right-wingers is actually MORE extremist than the Islamic militants trying to get their point across in very horrific and unpardonable acts. Our literal holier-than-thou attitude towards most of the rest of the world is disgusting and more provocative than the Right seem to want to understand. Might makes right. My god can beat up your god, etc….The lack of respect and understanding of a large part of the world is further isolating this nation and all the while the Conservatives seem to think people like Sarah Palin are attractive and viable candidates to run this Republic…(that thought just made my stomach queasy) Can you imagine our global image if that happened? When countries like Yemen are burning Obama in effigy, (happened yesterday) I’m quite sure the extremist jihad machine would go into full tilt production when the X’ian Right get back into power here. 2010 will be the beginning.
Our Conservatives are like other family members’ belligerent children we educated and mature family members are ashamed of and have to apologize for. This process has been repeating itself since we came down out of the trees to cross the savannah grasslands.
How we move forward for this moment in history is still up in the air. But there will be new, more vicious attacks from the extremists….especially from the cold, unmanned, Predator drones….
No one here will speak to me again!…LMAO~
But remember, my character is a sleazy Nashville music producer after all…I thought I nailed the fake, cowboy-wannabe, smarmy ‘industry’ guy….LOL~
Hmmm,…I’ll keep my teeth and I run from all things Confederate.
2 – Good, sweet, intelligent women
3 – Store clerks
4 – Extreme left wing progressives (due to dressing like a cowboy)
There aren’t ‘cowboys’ here per se, as much as there are country ‘farmers’. The actual cow punchers here would actually punch YOU if you referred to them as farmers. Funny~
As I mentioned, I DO NOT or have not EVER dressed in this manner. My profile pic IS me….my personality….or what I call, Tuesday. This was a movie set and I had a ball. In fact, had I dressed like this picture above, I prolly would have had a larger photo studio client list….LOL~
But seriously, I think I could rock this look for business purposes….LMAO~ Now I just need the shit-kickers….LOL~
If it’s any comfort, I DID deprive a TRUE country bumpkin of its chance to appear on television…LOL~
Over the last few weeks I have been forced to face some very ugly truths about myself and my future. I am in the process of coming to terms with gut wrenching hardships that I am going to have endure alone. I also have decided that I can no longer sit in a cubicle and bust my ass to make someone far up the elevator shaft wealthy. I scramble to find work and feel as though those in power are using this downturn to restructure their businesses to make less people do far more to boost the profit margins. I am sickened by this bullshit. If I’m to suffer and toil endlessly for the rest of my days here on earth, I am going to suffer and toil for MY OWN benefit….for MY bottom line. It seems anymore the very poor have ways to game the system and those on the very top are masters of the same. We here in the middle just watch the game get played, when it’s truly WE that get played. And then we die.
Yes, I am in a storm of serious trouble. Yes, I am knocking on the door of middle age. Yes, I am hurting and confused frequently. But, the clock is ticking. Not just for me, but for all of us.
I want my photo studio back. I want to continue to write. These things are what I am as a human…not as a worker bee…a drone. These things have value as ALL creative endeavors do…as they are true…they are honest. Yes, maybe I will be homeless and lost for awhile. I suppose it’s fate. As much as I fear this outcome, perhaps it’s the journey I am destined to take. If I do disappear for awhile from here…please don’t forget about me. I am out there somewhere. I have my trusty iPod Touch and maybe if I can borrow little cups of WiFi here and there…I’ll be able to post here from time to time. Until the internet gets turned off here I will continue to come here for a little peace, friendship and unity. The world is my church now…
Emerald, that was really kind of you to say. Although I receive no money for any book sold, it’s nice to know someone enjoys the words that are pouring out of my wounded soul…LOL~
The remainder of poems are found in the book ‘Ubiquity’ here:
She studies the passages…the chambers
Memories serve her every need
The fool will never see it coming
No one could have prepared the fool
Our thief is skilled in deception
Skulking in the corridors, always in shadow
Lurking in the misty haze of complacency
She coyly awaits the moment to deliver the blade
The title fills her veins with pride
The strength to eviscerate the hopeless, hapless fool
Thrills the thief in the temple
A sniggering cutthroat and a hellish maw
The fool gasps and grasps for life again
There is no time now for apologies
“Arrest her, arrest her!”…cries the fool
The barefooted thief slinks away without worrying a breeze.
But heck, I’ll nominate my poetry because…well….do I need a reason or will selfish pride be quite enough?…LMAO

fall away into the shadows…
stand as a memory
forget all the days
a thought never voiced
time is a highwayman
stand and deliver
to a familiar mirror
ghosts gather to you
in the long hours
fall away each one
wind down the hands
to the end of the days
