Time Capsule Club

Hi everyone, this post is an out of the ordinary blog post intended mostly for facebook friends.  I am looking for some volunteers to provide a sort of time capsule service in exchange for free books and probably a free gift, which I currently think will be a jar of cookie butter, a bag of coffee, and one of the new grocery style containers of Chick-Fil-A sauce.

The favor I need is for at least a few people, and maybe as many as ten or twenty, to agree to receive a box of my books in the mail, probably in January, and then just place the sealed box in a closet for the next few years.  I would hope to also sometimes include a flash drive with the files on them in case the books ever need to be republished.  To me, this could  imply some informal licensing rights for whoever believes that they or their kids might really be motivated some day to republish these books if they are ignored too severely before I die.

 

I think there are a few levels of participation in this Time Capsule idea, and if anyone wants to email me your address or send it in a facebook message, I will add you to the list to receive some books some time probably in November or January:

 

smefird5@gmail.com  or send a facebook message with your address.

 

participation levels: 

 

Level 1:  5-7 free books to read and keep on a bookshelf like normal books.

 

Level 2: 10-12 books to store with the intent of preserving these books for a later time if no other copies can be found.

 

Level 3:  being a core Time Capsule person with a collection of 20-30 different titles by Refried Bean to keep in a box for years.

 

Level 4: all 35-37 books, a flash drive with backup files, and being considered as a guardian of a Christian literary legacy that could impact future generations, possibly willing to meet with other Time Capsule people years from now to prevent total destruction of the writing itself if political strife causes a ten to twenty delay for appreciation.

 

Level 5: free books for teachers or other education and social work people interested in helping with the process to donate them to schools and classes.

frogs of the internet

 hey everyone this is a collage I made for an art group at my mental health program that I am in. Thanks Camila for leading the group. I am excited about how it turned out even though the frogs are all from the internet.  It did make me feel better after kind of a depressing weekend because people continue to torture me and ruin my life.  I do not know if I should still be blogging in this condition and circumstances. But hopefully if I stay away from the news I will think of some poems and have another book done that can be read by some other society another time. I feel very betrayed by my society even after a conspiracy helped me and maybe especially after a conspiracy helped me. Well have a great day everyone.

A calm summer day in October

 Guess what everyone, I got my wifi working on my phone. I did not do that well with the process but finally am able to use wifi based on my phone connection. I wrote some essays and posted a few of them but am saving some things for my new poetry book.  I will probably finish it in November.  I might also do a collection of favorites from some of my other books so there can be another good book in the thin book series.  But I need to sell some soon. Is my next post too rude. I felt depressed about it but talked to my friend who has cancer and she reminded me to avoid political triggers. But I did kind of care what happened in public life and through campaigns and journalism. So maybe I was wrong and will eventually unpost some stuff. My friend with cancer has helped me a lot and I don't know what I am going to do without her.

My acknowledgements pages have some good rightful listings but have a lot of people left off in haphazard illogical ways, too, and I think more people would have liked for their last names to be listed. But doesn't everyone want some justice coming their way in heaven?  That is what I think but I am perpetually having tantrums because I feel like I already spent my reward from heaven on earth, and things did not work out in some ways.  Like they almost worked out, but thousands of people invested in me and it seems like a trick sometimes.  But probably it is not a trick and I definitely conflated many things including delusions and then social work people had to unravel all of it over the course of about 8-10 years.  So that is kind of funny and an interesting project that involved a lot of people, and that does match an image of what I thought could be an interesting judgement day case some day.  Like I thought there could be a lot of people and all the cases against me could be absurdly apparent and everyone could eat a lot of h'oerdourves during the trials. I think a lot of that has happened but I am not sure other people got enough food. This past weekend I said on facebook that I supported the Salem Witchcraft trials.  It was kind of rude but my facebook friends did not leave me hanging (get it, hanging?) and I really appreciate it. I said that witchcraft endangered the colony and anti-colonialism privileges clergy and discriminates against milkmaids.

Anyway, I think my friend with cancer is going to get to be friends with Flannery O'Conner in heaven and they might see my old guinea pigs and my sugar glider named Sydney. I think that Sydney is sometimes going to sing a song about how he forgives me for when my parents made me keep him in the garage after college. It will be very sweet.  

Well I guess that is all for now. I might soon google the person that I like so I can see if it is a wild goose chase or not. I think one way to contact someone you like in a creative way is to request a restraining order on them from the cops so it seems like they are the one stalking you.

Have a great day everyone. I was depressed earlier but my day got better and there's nothing that a cup of coffee can't cure or a support group where they say of course that is not true.

Thanks, to people who were nice to me on facebook this weekend: Ana, James, Jacquetta, Hadley, Chase, Stacie, Lee, Jared, and I think one or two more. Sorry to forget names sometimes everyone I can't help it.
