A Sign Meant To Be

Dear Diary,

My Teacher gave me a deadline and I know I should at least commit to the fact that I said I would do it. I mean, nobody likes someone who says one thing and does another and that's a person who fails to walk the talk and/or is pretty much the selfish sort. I reckon I'm a little bit of both because I know what good and right is and yet I see what is bad and dark so I kind of swim between the two. Human of me, eh?

I'm no savior.
I just understand.

And besides, Life never came with a manual of instructions. You're just placed on the planet, wherever that may be and whatever the circumstances are. With that place, the environment, having it's own expectations of you, youniquely being you! They want your soul!

Shhhhh....
Hush lil baby....
Don't say a word....

If you're “savage and heathen” then you need some training and washing clean. Be an orthodox civilian. Just do not neglect the fact that this, “savage” is who we are and who we'll always be. So please know that with this story, the expectation is not of and by one person, or group or society but of the unseen and this is the farthest one may go from any civilization, past and present, real and imaginary. Ci-vi-li-za-shunnnnnnnn! Gone!

An
Assignment.
I was told.

So, my teacher wants me to tell a story and to tell it well. I don't know a better story to tell than the one I know the best, the one me heart dances with all da time. Da Troot. So, with that said, I'm going to tell you the best story I can because it is the one I feel. Some love it, some loathe it, and yet almost everyone is entertained because they DO think about these things as well. Or not.

Life.
If, being the middle word.
If all about you is...

Yes! I'm a happy and rich man. I have a person I can share my life and dreams with. One who knows and believes as I do. We have a child who brings us nothing but joy and laughter. We have ourselves wonderful animals who think the world of us because we see them as a part of the tribe. We wake up every morning to the rising Sun whilst the Chisos stretch her arms before us. The smell of creosote reminds us that we are awake from the lessons of the night. We are ever so thankful that we can listen to the rhythm of the spiritual and I, as one, know that if it wasn't for all this, I would be a poor and lonely man.


Les Miserables.
Yes, the mind is a terrible thing to waste...
...and what of the soul?

Well yes, my son Felix likes to talk about bugs. In fact, he knows that bugs rule the world. He even knows that people are pretty dim because they are too scared of bugs to understand their impact on them.

Kill 'em all!

For instance, your herbicides and pesticides and all the other goo-goo-funky-gunky-crap you like to use in your chemically dependent lifestyles and your plastic based ideologies.

Heck, you're eatin' it too!

While our motors burn oil that farts gasses and reckless drivers burn tires on tarred up blacktop, you're swimming in a pool full of chlorine and soaking up UV rays.

BURN! Brutha-Trucka! Burn...

Yup, that Felix loves bugs and he might just approach you signing the word BUGS to you. Koda POW! You SHOULD feel guilty. You're a TOXIC FIEND and a SERIAL KILLER and you've rearranged the chain because you THINK you can. My gosh, Kids just know...

Of course!

A box of seeds in the pantry is better than a sale everyday at the supermarket and the best kind of food to eat is the kind you grow and care for yourself. The best kind of meal is the one you share with others. The best kind of gift is the one where your example has been understood and passed on. I reckon the reason we have forgotten all of this is because we are BOTH burdened and privileged by modern progress that places the human as the center.

Con Fusing Nations.

OH! And I'll betcha the half of you, A Merry “I Can” People, don't know how to slaughter a chicken but I'll double bet ya love to eat 'em. Ah, I reckon we can order a spicy chicken filet while we're on it, huh? Vile and Vicious Vegans are not Void! Do you know how to keep vegetables healthy without nuking them? I mean, there are Microwaveable Monsanto babies being born everyday! Now, I really begin to wonder. Can you track a deer for days? Damn you, sitting in a deer stand watching the feeder! Hmmm....Can you talk to clouds? Ha! You're all a funny lot. No Joke!

Say it ain't so!
Please just... say...it...ain't...so.

A wise man once said:
“Whatever befalls the beast, befalls the children of the Earth.”

An Ordinary Jane says to me:
“Dude, has anyone ever told you that you are a redundant ranter of rollicking and robust rhetoric done so repetitively?”

Umm...
Umm...
I have to ponder on why I keep it up when no one seems to...

{sigh}

A dying species.
Us humans.

The Humans who will do nothing about Life because they are utterly engrossed with the contagiously selfish artificial that so inconveniently helps them forget the fact that the very foundation of prosperity is built through communal sustenance. A house divided is a house no more.

Please note: The Selfish will sell fish for false profit to the false prophet while the man who shares his catch with his enemy is forever a wealthy man. Aye, Aye, a story is a story and it is up to you to take from it what you will.

Love,
Cancer

You're Political and I'm Radical?

So here we are, back on the saddle in Alpine fixin' to go down South and you know, if you're a Texan, 800 miles is just a fart lost in the wind. You see, we got enough room for all those hooey politicians an' lobbyists an' their egos an' money an' the Lord knows what more...Californians will try to choke you on that and Alaskans don't give a rat's ass cause they fly...We're driving the Machine! Good Ol' Gas'O'lean.

But...
But...
But...

Nevermind Ricky Perry
We be raisin' hell
lookin' pretty scary.
Nevermind conservative.
Prayer In Houston?
A Den of Thieves, I say.
Shhhhh!

Yes, as we have it, Austin is IN and a mighty fine place to visit and discover each time you go. Always something NEW! You got a little something of everything and that's a D right there. Deafinitely, I'd say.

An' no, no, no, we ain't talking about no grades an' no spellin'.

We're talking about D for Diversity and you got the Capitol of Texas sittin' right there. Left there and a little centered as well. Which wing is it, heck I couldn't tell you if I tried because I can't remember the case... HOWEVER, if you're flying with a birdseye view...soaring on high lookin' down below,...

then yep,..

Austin is right smack dab in the middle of the whole dang state, jes don't tell Brady I said that. You'd bout to break that heart of hers. Texasism that is. But, you know really, I don't think it really matters. Most of us from around here live deep in the heart of Texas regardless of where we are from instate or out.

ahhh, it's jes' the same gol'dern Texas twang I reckon, eh?
The lil' jigwerm...
a lure.

The Lone Star State.

It's much richer and coarser than that Over-On-Yonder Debilitated Arizony B.S. I don't like your immigration laws and your golf courses and your dams and your smog and your developments and your LIES! You're not worthy of living in a Desert! You could make a grown man cry like a baby for all your blind arrogance and selfish greed.

Pssst....
Favorite D is Desert.

Yet...
Yet...
Yet...

Now where was I?
Riot,..Riot.
Okey-Doke.
Here we go...

Right.......A FART lost in the WIND.

*twiddle thumbs and bites lips with a Duh Duh Duh*

Hey Who? Who?....You know why farts smell?

"Um, Why do they smell?"

So a Deaf person can hear it.

Har Har Har....

LAME...I know,...but hey what can WE say, it's one of those things everyday people tell me and they tell me that stuff because it is all relative to the fact that WE ARE Deaf. I'm used to it and it is all good cause WE pretty much got 'em all figured out. The Left and the Right.

You wanna know what WE LIKE?
WE LOVE the Center.

The Core of Community is Communication Comprehended Completely.

Now, Now, Now.

If we're talking about grades,...we must be getting close and cautiously credible and creatively crazy and culturally conscious as we confide with the caucus that we are collectively collaborating the conquest of a "conspiracy" that will corrupt them and their corporate colleagues.

Bubba, Better Be a BADASS Because Bullshit Becomes Bunk Before Baboony Bullies Bleed.

"Are you serious? BaBOONY???"

BUCK BAT BIT!
Speech Therapy.

Come on now,...surely we got a winner...Dontcha wanna SEE the Clown's nose flash. I mean really folks,..It's not rocket science...It's Bullshit that they deny kids the 'noblest gift'!

The Bee.
The Ball.
The Bay.
The Bow.
The Boy.

"Man,..can I tell ya something?"

Sure.

"You're an Asshole!"

Yep...
That is a Truth,...
I AM Political and Hypocritical,...
and all the while
FREE to BE
ME!

If you really want to bitch at me about SSI and Jobs: Taxation without Representation and all of that jazz out of the old ball game. If you don't think that is what it is then WHY, with all the technology today, does a soldier have to be able to hear when training could simply be focused of the logistics of where and when upon command given through a simple cursor, resulting in a catastrophic yet strategic release of weapons that WILL result in killing you and your own?

I mean seriously, eugenics is already being played with on the DEAF gene in ways that have never been played with before and I refuse to settle for less, as a Deaf American, a fellow human being, you have love denied us the right to BE. A Free DNA test, NO Thanks! I AM:

Innovative.
Inspirational.
Informative.
Involved.
Included.
Independent.

I know you might convince them, the masses, that everything is good and just yet as I speak here now, I could actually give you some black and white and throw past the red tape because I have some that is blue and upon you.

The Eyes of the Skies
Of Course.

*ahem*

I am just as Able Bodied and as Capable, and as Dedicated about the Education of our Freedoms and what It Gives us Humans INstead of Jokes, Kills, Lies, Manipulation, Negligence, ORALISM, POLITICS, Quips, and Relentless Shit That U Vehement Xian Yo-Yo's Zymbolism

"Sym bol ism"

Dude,..I, uh, just, uh, want to say it one last time:
I'm Deaf and You're WRONG about it because it is my right to communicate in the language to serves me best and for that, I love American Sign Language!

I mean...this is no joke here, this IS personal:

American Sign Language is should be a National Treasure recognized for it's ability to create positive and !

Our Deaf Youth do not deserve to be deprived from the LIBERTY that ASL and the Deaf Community allow Families of Deaf Children to thrive healthily and heartily. A lot's of heartstrings mindbeams get tugged and shake when you're left out and feel like an outsider in your own circle. We should never let Our future fade away to the darkness of discomfort and inconvenience simply because we separate them from the most fundamental necessity, a visual means that affords them the luxury of a sound language development. TIC

Isn't that something,...sure give the hearing child a head start using sign language but nay should you have a deaf child,...
Sorry, y'all...

I cannot stress enough how important this is to our future and what jobs we DO have now. Please think about it all before you try to be neutral about something you ALREADY know.

So there ya have it!
Love, Peace, and all the real stuff out there,

-DeafJeff

p.s.

I voted for Koko because she was smarter than all those silly MEN they gave us. SO...Let's remember OUR HIStory...social justice has never been achieved by those who play nice and kind every time.

Harsh words are needed for deceptive intentions.

To release this living force for the greater good, go out there,..create ART, Write Stories, Make Films, Sign Poems, Dance, and Play all in the name of Your Truth.

Deaf YOUTH!
