So, I failed the test because I was not analytical in my evaluation, in my answer to the question. Question: How many legs are on the floor? Had I been analytical, I would have differentiated between the pieces presented. For example, there were many animals on the bed including a giraffe. Plus, all the other household animals you could imagine. Also, there were three chickens flying above a chair some where in the room. Now, I was also part of the 'question' or test. Because I walked into the room and the question is about the room, such as, how many legs were on the floor? OK! Obviously, I eliminated the animals which were on the bed because their feet were not on the floor. What I didn't take into consideration was critical to the question. Which was how many legs were on the floor. But animals have both feet & legs, some have wings as well. This was all subterfuge to color the context of the 'question.' So, in recap, I had 2 feet & two legs. I was stan...

Innocence: Do not leave it/them out in the cold as Trump has led you down the rabbit-hole of autocracy. There are many people in prison who do not belong there because of the system of white privilege which is being practiced in the state of S.C. Now! At this moment, on a tertiary level, you may find some compassion for those many souls lost to such a system at hand. For you, there will be a future system opening up so that you can get on with Life's journey. No, not so for the fallen felon, innocent or not, all are burned as fodder for the status' of those prejudices which create the environment from which these felons were crafted, poverty. May it be intellectual or financial in nature, you cannot also expect to become farmers of impoverished souls. For example, Just look at the manner in which the criminal justice system in the state of South Carolina has conducted itself, i.e., evidence the News & Couriers' expose on the subject in their news paper over the past few...

The time has come: It is time to stand up and be counted as one of the citizens from the State of South Carolina who has been denied due process of the law. This has been evident in the News & Courier over the last several months in its newspaper reporting. I am asking you to step up and be counted, join my cause for establishing the Innocence Project in the state of South Carolina. Because the state of S.C. has been guilty of corrupting the individual's right-of-due-process as an equal member of the community. The state's criminal justice system has been used to stifle those individuals considered to be less than equal under the law. The state's political system has always been self-centered with their air of superiority over power. For example, as reported in the News & Courier, most recently, the members of the S.C. governmental body of hermeneutics- YES! they are laying out the approved list for Judgeships with a Questionable mind set. That is Questionable as fo...

Let's surrender disbelief, as is said in the Art world; get our head reposition upon our neck in a manner that will allow our nervous system to continue on its way down our spinal column into our inner world. One's body.  That's right. This weekend I had a double hitter, meaning,  in the morning my head was reposition upon my neck; it now sits in the centered of my neck, and not tilted to the right of center as it had been. the blood flow was out of this world, flowing across the cortex of my mind. That same evening, I  attended a friends celebration of life. It was as if I were again on a horse with no name, my body felt none of its 77 years of revolution. No, not me, this night of celebration. I'm drinking this one in memory of our shared time together; Axel was always available, not just to me; but to all those whom were passing along Life's road-ways as he was when we lived those moments, shared.  Best of all, there were dozens of others attending Axel's c...

Every one is guilty of living, the thong of the thing is that: there are those who are incarcerated for false infractions of the Law; yet, they are innocent, meaning those particular charges were conjured up by the Powers to be, rogue prosecutors doing the bidding of those whom control the System. This is the reasoning behind the exploratory into establishing an Innocence Program for the state of S.C. I only wish there had been such a program in S.C. when I was falsely accused and subsequently incarcerated in a S.C. maximum-security- prison, Liber, more than thirty(30) years ago.  On Face Book, you can go to "theiciclegarden" or "theblackmarket.me" and open up a discussion whether you are in favor or not, maybe undecided. Anyway, your opinion on the subject of support is essential for social justice.  Also, this endeavor  has the support of the ACLU via Attorney Jim Morton.   

It's a chocolate promotion for a membership drive on behalf of an exploratory into a UNION for felons & social justice. In this case, numbers matter. This happens when each and every time a 'new-you' joins this exploratory  against the existing system and voices their support for "truth, justice & the American way." Simply put: Why is it alright to make an individual live as an outsider? You know! the expendables. Those taken out of the game called Life. On FB, checkout THEBLACKMARKET.ME  or  THEICICLEGARDEN.  I have a blog called, "the icicle garden blogs" on my web site: WWW.theblackmarket.me And I hope that you get some understanding on what it's like to walk in cement shoes, crossing a terrain of quicksand. And this is why I'm offering you these delicious chocolate truffles as my way of asking for access. I'm stained -wearing Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" for a crime that never took place, over thirty years ago, dur...

Access is one of the gifts in the garden of life; like your friendship garden where you grow friendships. I had 'access', therefore respect. The problem being that I didn't respect the fact that I indeed had it, respect -full boar. And, as said, with access in hand the gifts are there for you to harvest, without restriction. Giving adage to understanding, 'a fool and his rewards are soon parted' some like to say, 'a fool and his money soon parted.' It happened to me in the flow between the 70's & 80's where I ended up dead, at least in the medicinal sense, I lost Access. My garden of gifts wilted away behind the wall; with it, my ability to redeem balance over disrespect, ending Access. Side bar: think "Trump's wall" & its under lying message is walling all of us in, as if we were in East Berlin, behind that wall which deny others, as I had denied my self; Remembrance: "As social animals, we're destined to interact wit...

OK! Here we go together, down into Alice's 'rabbit hole', but it's my story about how I got into wearing ladies underwear. Now I must say upfront that I have always had this thing about my ass since wearing men's underwear could be intriguing,  but it wasn't, You see! than I went threw this period in the 60's & 70's wearing under garments was seen as an optional thing; some days yes, some days no, otherwise it was no big thing. Coming into the 9o's it completely changed. I was washing the windows in my loft, I got hit by this need to start wearing men's under wear again. I had none to speak of my draws, no pun intended. So, I jumped into my car, went to Wally's world, Walmart . Picking out a dozen different styles to give me some flexibility as I meld into my sexuality's differences, however they stir my since of self. That's not all, add this to the equation, the 'flow' of my story. Because I'm into nudism, letting ...

Chocolate with a sizzle will set you free to explore those forgotten influences buried deep inside of your psyche. Now! Feel them melt away as our "truffles" coat the pleasure centers on your palate. YES! As it was once said: "Walk without feet, fly without wings & think without mind." NOW! This is your chance to support Social Justice so that Felons too can someday re-enter Society as consequential contributors to the overall benefit of humanity, as well as his & her neighbors in their community. I'm asking you to join my cause for social justice. Our exploratory committee is centered around the ability for felons to be included when laws are passed that hinder their ability to live a life to its fullest potential.

Imagine any way that fits you that you have had a hearing problem for too long to remember; remembering is also a problem because you are encoding bits and pieces of sound, coming up with the wrong interpretation as to what the conversation was all about, according to the attendees. Anyway! This has been my problem since being discharged from the US Air Force, 1968. And the government would not recognize their liability; therefore no compensation. But now that I'm an old man of 76 years, the government will give me the best that money can buy because I qualify under the "old man's postulate." Yes! The Government left me "deaf & dumb."  Simply said, I have a new cochlea implant which gives me the ability to hear without misunderstanding the meaning of the spoken word, its message. But, there is one simple problem. That is to say: You see people in a different context because you can pay attention to what it is that they are saying. Also! Their facial expr...

S.O.S. What is my new bitch? "Shit on a shingle" could be, maybe, if I were a spotted hyena living on the Serengeti in Africa. It just might be the best way to look at the way that I look at life. Why, you may ask. Well the hyena is the only living predator who can exist on the shit of all others living in her environment, those living on the Serengeti. But, you may say, you don't live on the Serengeti. Matter of fact, even though you look a little bit like the hyena, the fact is, you are the upstart of some failed Irish marriage which was fed on the shit of unfettered dreams because maybe, you-know, you should not have been born in the first place. OK, cream-of-beef dumped on a piece of toast is the Army's Beef Wellington. Yes! You know when the state is against you there is not to much for you to do; except, unless, that is, you walk on the wild side. This is how the state goes about "farming" a crop for the new industrial wave toward enslaving its populat...

You may hate me, this is your right; But, you do not have the right to use your hate against me, doing me harm. I served my time, paid in full; yet, the "Scarlet Letter" still exist leaving one branded, enslaved as a felon. Another area of Jim Crow politics keeping one class of people down while elevating others. This is the meaning of the Clinton's " is." It's not the class of being a felon; it's that it enslaves you for life from ever being able to fulfill any of life's possibilities as far as your dreams and abilities could carry you. If so, why try under such discouragement? "... water, water, everywhere; yet, not a drop to drink...." It is just as true today as it was then. Slavery in the bowels of a drifting boat on the turbulent ocean water, or confined by laws which are anathema to your civil rights, you are, as the T-shirt use to say -Shit happens.  Therefore, your anger is misshaped, altered by interpersonal trauma as you experien...

The impossible! I have been writing my blog these past few years, never getting a response, yet not challenging the system. I'm used to get my message out & about to readers such as yourself. And just last night I stumbled into the answer: "the response key to my blog was turned off." So that even if someone wanted to respond, they could not. Nothing good comes out of an April-fools' joke. But my tale of woe is true. Even so, ring around the rosy, a game out of my childhood where there was always one chair missing; that could have been your chair and probably was. At least, that is the way that life came at me, chair -less. Dumb is kind of how I understand the manner in which I process information.  For example, it used to be that the US was the sounding board upon which the European elites projected their 'retroflections': the back drop for political capital against communism -Mother Russia. So! Now! How will the European elites form their opinion? No...

Imagine along this journey with me, please, as I reminisce over those first long days being held in the local county jails from NM to SC. I'm hoping to pen it to being Kafkaesque. Imagine if you will to being locked up in a controlled environment like your bathroom; think Kafka. His beetle is all locked up in his room with no escape. So! your bathroom is the beetle's bedroom in my remembrance. Now think about this scenario, and judge  if it is torture or not. It's your cell which you share daily along with the other occupants, between 10 & 20, depending on how busy the holiday's are along the coast of Myrtle Beach, SC. In this remembrance which started in April as a bad April fools joke, went on for more than 90 days. Yes, these inmates of yours would eat and defecate in your open space each and every day. You witness their dally acts; yet, you have no idea when it will end. You are bloating up right along with Kafka's beetle as you both fall into their own m...

Thank you, my friend, for your comment. If you will play along with me: let's think 'the big bang theory' as seen in evolution. OK.  Now let the Cadillac represent the ideal toy for the middle class status within the US. The building which the Cadillac crashed into represents the immovable force of let's say," "Fountainhead/ Ayn Rand. Also, "the structure determines the experience," you see. The red Cadillac is excitation screaming out against inhibition of what 'is' -think Clinton: depends on the meaning of 'is.' Hold that picture; look at the license plate; it is selling all of the pieces that came out of this collision -big bang. Rock store!  Yes, when you go into the rock store you will find each and ever piece off the collision 'sliced & diced' so that you can buy it as a memory of what could have been, maybe a piece of coal, maybe a diamond. It's business as usual; a rock is a rock by any other name. It's not...

Give me a break, You Know!, I'm the one who got a dick up his ass; This is not about the money. This is about "how it was orchestrated." For example, how did a judge in a small town end up with two warrants issued by the Governors of the States NC & SC?  Yes, both warrants were served on the same day, according to the presiding judge in Carrizozo, NM. Now! This could be just a coincidence, or it could be collusion on the part of corrupt politicians, as well as power elites, such as those who collided with my position on Pecos Valley Christian College. So, as far as I'm concerned, I was kidnapped. I was emotionally tortured by the State's ultimate power to bring forces to bear upon an individual to such a degree that it renders you impotent. God I must be dumb & That is why I do not believe. For I witnessed first hand that in the game of life, we are not all equal under the law; but, under the political power behind its fiction, "thank you Jesus."...

The purpose behind "the black market.me" is to build a platform from which I can ease felons' burdens by giving them a voice, a place to congregate. It's a digital world, right or wrong; it's the stage from which we hope to launch a conversion of uniqueness through an evolution, evolving over time. So play along with me, suspend your disbelief, observe how when I'm playing around in my own mind, I'm someone else. It's like I'm living in my own head; outside of the forces which I'm tethered to when I'm not playing around in my head. Reality check. I have been branded and isolated so when I first wake up in the morning, I'm lifeless. There is no meaning behind my inertia's limp state of mind. So! I turn on the 'light of consciousness'  via breathing in a taste of 'weed.' This opens up my soul to the world of acceptance; for example, today when meditating I saw the light coming down from on up high, its avalanche scared...

When does it become a necessity for you to comply with the situation? How much of you do you have to give up to make others comply with your direction? When is 'it' the right time to comply under your understanding of the situation? This necessity of the moment, regardless of its fear: it's up to you to adapt to the skills from your quiver - experiences through living? What is in your quiver today, my friend?  Imagine that, this is where the mind plays -like who else is 'out & about' in this playground of the mind -one's quiver?  For example, response cost refers to the amount of time lost between inaction to action, distraction loss due to attenuating competing interest. - reaction time. The time it takes to get ready to react with follow through, like after drinking beer's necessity, while driving down the highway of life. Now! it seams to me that it is lacking in flexibility, this thing called 'necessity' because you would want to learn throug...

Strange stories come out of strange places. In my case it's Roswell, NM, of all places. As you know, it has its own history. Like The Donald, it has their -alternative facts. It's a tourist attraction dedicated to Space Aliens. Yes, you guessed it, these were the friends & neighbors of Pecos Valley Christian College. Acting as its interim President, we were trying to bring the power of hermeneutics into the cauldron of shimming individualists. The operational definition of hermeneutics is the study of the methodological principles of the interpretations of the text, bible. Roswell has a long history; its very own & strange way of interpreting evidence associated with the supernatural, in particular, space visitors from outside of our galaxy, the Milky Way. On behalf of the school, PVCC, where I was their interim president, I was interviewed on the local radio station, as well as being a guest speaker at various venues around town. To tell you the 'truth,' I'...

The icicle garden is a place of razor -wire where you learn how fucked up life can be on a day by day 'playful' way. It's also called a prison.  Imagine standing in the middle of a football stadium, its  perimeter a wall of razor wire like the icicle storms bring after a hard rain on a cold winter morning. Now! Imagine that this is your life from here on out.  Anyway, theiciclegarden has a new home on Facebook; look us up & check us out. It's looking to UNIONize felons so that they can participate in the good old fashion American way as those "dreamers" are today, 2018. It's good politics to champion the children. Yet  The moment you are labeled a felon you automatically move to the bottom of the pecking order in the "free market system." That is to say -in the good old fashion American way. Now this -to me- becomes a labor issue because the System is shunning its felons. Maybe like in Germany when the Jews had to wear their STARs. It's l...
