Bio

Walking in leaf-dappled sunlight; enjoying the stars; splashing barefoot in a stream; traipsing along an old wooded path with a hard kick to the gut and a swift poke in the eye.
Born a poor black child, Jimm remembers the days sitting on the porch with the family singing and dancing, down in Louisiana, when his only toy was a tetanus-covered stick.
Jimm was raised in the bracken and boughs; among still waters and the furies of creation yet he can be seated to sup among Lords. Part Henry Miller, part Alfred E. Neuman: a lovable goof and textbook Scorpio.
Jimm is a master and appréciateur of so-called civil society yet so contemptuous of its failing participants that he lives in a protracted state of oscillation between love and loathing of all.

To return alone to the damp earth beneath the canopy will no longer suffice. His social cohorts, however, fail him every day. Jimm no longer lives in the world of man but walks next to him every day- seeking to get off the grid, live by candlelight and only eat what he kills or grows -alone in the bee-loud glade, as it were.

If you're in a funk now, something by Mark Steyn should make you good and suicidal while giving you a chuckle.

Thank You!  Joni's fans dropped her from 1975-1979  because she was writing just for me! I came in through Jaco the bass player and fell in love with that whole "introspective" period of her work.  This was after the hippy dippy folk but before she went boring adult contemporary (now she's preachy and moralizing). Love her though.   I think she's a musical genius but she always made sure to surround herself with people from whom she could learn.

cheers!

Haven't gotten all the way through any of these yet, but I've poked around.   I am Liberal-Arts-Curious.    I HAVE however listened to William Cook lecture on them in the Great Courses series.  THAT was fantastic!  His lectures on Alexa De Toqville's Democracy in America are so enjoyable.    I liked St. Augustine with Ron Herzman, too.

Agreement on money, religion and in-laws certainly should be hammered out some time before marriage, certainly.  These people were likely not in agreement in the number of food courses for the evening just yet.  Baby steps, y'all!

Oh and with the new housing paradigm?  I'm not so sure I would finance one of those again.   I try not to make interest payments on things that oxidize.  Home values do that now.

Thank You!
If you have a 20% deposit and haven't had late bills in 2 years and your mortgage payment will be 1/4 of your take-home pay, you can get a mortgage anywhere.   I was over 30 by the time I learned that. I bought my house under the common and false idea that you need to be neck-deep in credit to get credit.  I was not taught money skills.  I took every card they handed me from age 19-22 (usually at vendor tables set up at the college bookstore) then bought a brand new car (as a student at a rather difficult university working full time in retail).  I grew up stupid-poor and thought I had made it.
Needless to say there was a decade of crash and burn and learning.

You ever been in a Turkish prison?
Do you like movies with gladiators in them?

Do you have anything that rhymes with "werpes"?

Can I see pictures of your mom?  Is she fat?

I'm in the Dave Ramsey camp.  The credit score is just in indicator of how extended you are willing to be and how you manage it.  If you had enough money to pay for everything in cash, your credit score would stink.  Spending money you don't have is not sexy, even for an education.  Debt is risk, end of story.  But heck, we can't feed ourselves or our children. Why should we expect each other to know financial planning.
I would ask her what her serum glucose level is.

Children have an active language-learning brain center.   Make them learn French.
