The flickering sliver of night light now encloses the pitch black like a looming, cracked lampshade. Outside, the brutal cold of winter, which wants to gnash its teeth, bends icicles, even though it is only minus two at the moment. "That's plenty too!" - you think, while a lost yellow-cheese taxi carelessly passes in front of your house.

Something has stopped again and disappeared from this World that is now starting the new year. You can't be 100% certain that you've actually just become a tolerated, transiting guest, who is asked to go to hell behind your back with the very first elegant gesture, or is pestered for a while with wait-and-see, honey-glazed tactics. - A surprising number of people flounder through their own ****** lives, as if everything and everyone is already spiraling towards the great common debtor, from which there is neither escape nor return.

The fake passwords that also attack the other worlds in the form of belated rescuers rarely, if ever, arrive on time; an elderly mother collapses on the open street corner, while curious, naive, almost childlike onlookers rush around her, while her carefree and worn-out body sighs out its thought-to-be-immortal soul as the last unfinished chapter.

The wretched shell-loneliness, and rather the increased avoidance of redundancy, increasingly tempts the still-stuck living. - The fate of the lost often scares even those who are only now trying to learn and teach the acid and pepper of the capitalized but lying Life. The projected vision of the future is now even more glaring, and even more conspicuous. The beginning and end are often barely recognizable!

Who is hard at heart, or never at peace in the name of compulsive games as the whispers of the left index finger, like the convict, the son of man has been branded, except that the fussy, ragged life is still a serious matter. Man's compromised hope was also lied to from the heavens, like the diamond-bright stars, in order to somehow fill the emptiness of the great lack at any cost.

Because somehow all of them have been forced to hide the deep abyss intentions of their own selfish and greedy plunder in secret and perhaps under me. some of them are even capable of squealing out of their own skin at any time and pretending to be something other than what they really are. They are the total opposites of a relatively impracticable, agreed-upon lifestyle and social arrangement.

Only the long-lasting loneliness could not ask for absolving grace from the agonizing, mind-blowing solitude; even among the memories of the past that open wounds, a lasting, agreed reconciliation can now seem more and more difficult. - With unreserved half-solutions - he is afraid - it is difficult to cross the dimensional gates of the inner soul, which do not just open to anyone.

With interchangeable Janus faces - in many cases - like sheep led to the slaughterhouse, snarling beasts stare at each other, worms and traitors at the same time, because they could hardly do anything else. In the shelters of sleepless nights, it would be nice to have a predictable, protective hug that is unique and inimitable. Everything seems to sink relatively uselessly into the squinting silence...
Across the world, there are many
     Energy production sites that produce
         More energy than can be used locally.
              This is stranded or isolated energy since
                   Electricity is difficult to send over distance.
                        Therefore
                   We need a power consumer who can use
               This stranded energy anywhere on earth.
          Bitcoin is providing solutions right now
     To this problem, and here are the top
Six where Bitcoin is a working solution.    
            
Stranded Natural Gas - typically flared, Bitcoin miners use the energy, reducing methane.
Geothermal Energy - often produces more energy than a local grid can use. Bitcoin steps in.
Hydropower - seasonally variable, Bitcoin is a flexible consumer when supply is high.
Solar and Wind - intermittent, Bitcoin mining consumes surplus during high production.
Landfill Gas - produces methane, and Bitcoin captures this methane for mining.
Remote Locations - such as small hydro dams, biomass plants, or remote oil fields.

We have an Internet Protocol (IP)
And a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP),
Which together make up
The base of the Internet (TCP/IP).
But we needed a money protocol

We have HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
Which structures data into a readable format.
But we needed a protocol to send economic value

We have File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
To publish web pages, images, and documents.
But we still lacked a money transfer protocol

We have Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
Which allows us to send emails to each other
And NOW we need a way to send money

Bitcoin is this Money Protocol -
And the missing piece to the puzzle.
Bitcoin enables the secure transfer
Of economic value across the world

let me
want your future —
   one that's
   certain and sturdy

and need your now —
   where we're
   calm and quiet


where waking up
   doesn't hurt
   anymore
   because it's
   no longer
   just
   a dream

Figure skating around these acres, I spark a

match to an incense and let these intrusive

thoughts be diminished; channeling my

inner voice; Pardon the hoarse I was

creating with source, Finding out who the

greatest,  I didn’t know the role was taken;

but I’m still animated, while I put these

pieces in rotation holding one hand out the

matrix; I got a piece to line out these

annotations, while waiting on a collect call

from the galactic federation, staying in tune

the news is cocky but I’m kind of rocky like

balboa,  I ain't no street soldier but I keep

my knowledge tucked in a holster ready to

blast on any composer who show up like a

controller; hold up I run with the

Egyptians, the sight seers, and truth

seekers, a holy war with no secrets, I break

even, I spread my wings like a desert eagle

and stand toe to toe to shadow box a fire

breather, giving my sixth sense like this the

Elements, Where Rudimentary shouldn’t be

a settlement, I’m heaven sent A classic as an

American title, I give grace to each space

upon my arrival; no need for a recital, I’m

ashing out the ashes to the incense while

opening my eyes from the temple I stepped

in
Tire Town USA - An old flour mill with opportunistic metalwork; 
windowless, wooden building with last century's red paint and
an open garage with Able Men clad in baggy skins of oil stained overalls.  

No clear link between their tools and their linguist­ic barks.
Babbling as they dance around the wheel rim popper
Unti­l a clean, white skinned maiden walks through 
the swinging doors­.   


Check out the hottie in the lobby! yells some charming sha­rk.
The blond goddess, wearing a braless tanktop and white summer­ 
pants draping seductively over her buttocks, stands 
behind her­ twin brother.   

Used tires, her brother ask the young Able Man­ by the broken kiosk. 
"Hey Boss" the young Able Man shouts as he­ steps toward the girl. 
The young Able Man offers the girl a bot­tle of water,
which she declines.

An older Able Man escorts the ­boy deeper 
into the cavernous warehouse. 
"It's cold" the young ­Able Man 
says to her **** as she walks away and
then his shoulde­rs slump as if the bottle weighs a ton.

This modern young cavema­n, a grease-smeared untouchable to this filly,
furrows his brows ­until they nearly meet over his nose and 
realizes he can never touch the likes of her.

A friend asked, “Where would you like to be buried when you die?”
While he looked to the ground
My eyes lingered upon the sky—
“The verdant grass makes me itch
While the bluest ocean is too deep...
The void meanwhile is quiet and without any life...
Isn't it perfect place to rest after I die?”
He laughed and said, ”That's crazy!”
And I thought:

You are the crazy
To live in this world of weary
And not escape, but instead be buried—
In my death I want to be free.
This is a little bit exaggerated convo of me with a friend.
Bekah Halle Jan 10
Henceforth, shy and scared, I shall not be,
But embrace all uncertainty,
Step into the future with expectancy,
And see the scales, chains, ties fall from thee.
I hesitate to post this, knowing full well that as soon as I do, this will be challenged1
Don't cage me,
Don't chain me,
Don't try and change me,
I am the river,
I am free.

So you can't control me,
You can know me,
But you'll never own me.
Freedom is a human instinct, how come people think they can go without it.
