Death by Default

Absence

2007-04-16T11:14:00.000-07:00

It is your absence by day

that

I feel the most

inside

a hollow reminder,

a space you once filled.

At night

it is a longing to touch,

to hold you near me,

your voice

a soothing breeze

haunting my memory.

...and yet I must

follow my heart,

my quest

goes ever on...

I have been called.

2007-01-25T20:10:00.000-08:00

I must be going now,

I am off on my own personal Crusade.

...Someday, my friends, I shall return.

Good-bye for now and may God bless you all...

Blood & Persecution

2007-01-11T20:48:00.000-08:00

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Where is the shame?

Who is to blame?

For all our ancient
modern ideology.

Are we but wolves

out for the slaughter?

for all humanity

must feel the pain

to have come
so far,

only to end
where we began

with the blood
dripping off the hands of our beloved forefathers
and onto ours.

The complete the perfect circle

of endless persecution,
of those as different from us
as they are similar.

The power of
delusional minds demanding
sacrifices of the
lives of our children
scorched in the fires
of blazing idolatry

bowing to the false Gods
and man-made images.

That feel the shame,

and cannot turn away

from the horror

that is in us all.

The Holiday Spriit

It is nameless
faceless.

Knows no color

race, class
or
national boundries.

Yet

it hovers in

the hearts of men

always

beckoning them

to have heart

to feel

compassion.

To live

Peace, harmony

& brotherhood.

Not just on December 25th

but everyday.

Merry Christmas

Santa Stats (Stolen from Humor Matters site)_____________

There are currently 78 people named S. Claus living in the U.S. -- and one Kriss Kringle.

(You gotta wonder about that one kid's parents)

December is the most popular month for nose jobs.

Weight of Santa's sleigh loaded with one Beanie Baby for every kid on earth: 333,333 tons.

Number of reindeer required to pull a 333,333-ton ssleigh: 214,206 -- plus Rudolph.

Average wage of a mall Santa: $11 an hour. With real beard: $20.

To deliver his gifts in one night, Santa would have to make 822.6 visits per second, sleighing at 3,000 times the speed of sound.At that speed, Santa and his reindeer would burst into flameinstantaneously.From http://www.JOKE-OF-THE-DAY.com

2nd Annual Poly's Holiday Post.

2006-12-06T09:58:00.000-08:00

Yes Polyman,
There is a SantaChrist.

Behold: He has come
to shop.
He knows
everything must go!

It is written.

I will not use his name in vain.
I will not shop in vain.

I fear eternal damnation,
but I can also spot a great bargin.

Dear SantaChrist,
Please have commpassion on our wallets
pocketbooks & souls this holy season.

Let us be first at the clearance tables.

I now know he is real.
I see his presence all around
in the form of crude decorations
and plastic images.

and in the shopping malls
I see him atop wooden altars
surrounded by elves and angels,
and children
lost in innocent wanting
and adoration.

Santachrist.
Thou art heavy!

My cup runneth over.

Tagged by Sunny D.- 6 weird things about meeee.

2006-11-29T13:45:00.000-08:00

1) Happiness is a well-made bed

I cannot sleep in an unmade bed. When I was a little Poly I was taught by Mommy to make my bed in the morning, sheets nice and tight, blankets pulled up and tucked under the pillows.

Most times the sheets are still warm, as I make the bed. The thought of a bed left unmade all day grosses me out.

The bed is a refuge from the rest of this messy world and should be treated with care and respect.

nicely made bed.

2) It's hard to make up your mind what you want to be when you grow up.

I've had 43 jobs in my short life so far. That's not counting 20 years of being a DJ for private parties and nightclubs here in NY & NJ. As a perfect Gemini, I would leave a day job as soon as I got bored or things got stupid or I just felt I had to move on for various other reasons (fired, layed-off, chased out).

I never had a problem securing a job being I make a good presentation, am energetic and have the gift of gab to baffle them with my bullshit.

My worse job was as a Biology lab assistant while I was in college and had to prepare experiments and clean up after them...YUK! Ever see a 55 gallon drum filled with rats in brine? How about a box filled with dried body parts?

My best job was as a store announcer for a large retail store, writing and delivering their commercials over the store PA system. It was a very creative job plus I was single and got to visit all the honeys in every department for research purposes.

3) Being in the right.

There are 2 ways to do things; the right way and the wrong way. My way is usually the right way- says I being the logical, resonable person I am.

However, I do have a tendency to drive people up the wall or flee for their sanity after spending a day with me.

Question: If I show you a better way to do something that makes sense, shouldn't you at least try it before dissing it? There, now that that's settled we can move on...

4) Tell me something I don't know...

I have a bad habit that I've been working on for years- No, it's not masturbation.

My problem is that I talk a lot; including finishing peoples sentences for them.
Maybe it's the NY trait of impatience or my rambling spirit, I have so much to say myself- why waste time listening to someone tell me something I already know or at least can guess where their going with their story. Come on now...let's be adult about this, time is too short to waste; but then again, you already knew that.

As a salesman, I should know when the fuck to shut up, shouldn't I? But then again...oh, here I go, there I go again...
* Under the impression that I know everything about everything?

This is the spot at work, where we have our main computer. Under the counter is the veins to our brains...so to say....................MASTER COMPUTER!

I picture my brain somewhat wired like this- a jumble of wires, somehow all connected and functioning in a confused organized sort of way.

I have a lifetime of collected knowledge and life experience that I often share. I can talk intelligently on a myriad of subjects and like to, or rather feel the need to share my thoughts with people. Sometimes I fear my views and stories aren't as compelling as I think they are (especially if I've been drinking, and I forget the point I was going to make-duh)

5) I find humor in almost everything.

Leave it to me to crack a joke in the most somber of occasions. I can't help it.

Whether it is just a nervous reflex or I'm just demented- I'm usually getting a gentle elbow to the ribs from the Mrs. or she just rolls her eyes and shakes her head, stifling a laugh.

Shes says that I look like Deniro but act like Robim Williams.

I take that as a compliment.

6) I am a trusting soul.

It seems no matter how long I trust people and get burned, I still give them the benifit of the doubt and hope for the best. It is the only way I can be. But I find in life you get what you give; I have known so many people that blindly trusted me, that it is the only way I can be. Even though people can be absolute hard-ons I still can't be. A warrior-yes! but loving and helpful to most that cross my path.

It is the Christian thing to do.

Now, if I understand this correctly, I pick 6 people to reveal 6 weird things about themselves.:

Poor pathetic clown.

Poor sad Bozo.

pitiful creature of merriment

that knows no difference
between
inside and outside,

round or square

black or white

right and wrong.

Has his sorrows multiplied
and is looked down upon
with cold resentment.

...and yet

finds time to dance with

ghosts of our shadows,

not yet buried

in shallow holes

of deceptive levity.

Stooping in rhythm,
to the downbeat, upbeat
hoof beat, sway and stagger

of unending mirth.

You,

who are nameless,

faceless

who cry alone

in the night,

in the dark
groping for meaning

on all fours

chasing sleep

that never comes.

tormented by laughter. ++++

Back in the world circus

The moon is glittering

on the horizon

of another nameless town.

The streetlamps glow

in hazy mist.

We are all puppets

with

wooden heads

and faces

painted on in empathy.

...and I fear the comedy
has all but ended

for you

clown.

to escape the rat race

--------RAT RACE------

More money, more things, more bills,

more work, more stress, more money, more bills, more things, more work, more stress, more bills, more things, more work, more stress, more things, more bills, more stress, more money,

Osama Bin Laden

All Right!

We don't have a problem...

The world has just

normalcy
