"Morning", 5am Pines Pavillion murder?

hello morning!

listened to Money Safari yesterday on the new Detected post. and a host of 5am dancing thoughts.  https://soundcloud.com/defectedrecords/defected-in-the-house-radio-09614-guest-mix-monkey-safari


this am had this 5am dream:
by the bar with a buddy, wonderful songs.. two in a row.. unknown to me, one pure diva.
it seems an argument at the DJ box Someone in back going through whatever, the DJ seems arguing in the front of the box to get out. Me and my buddy say maybe it is a robbery.

The security nutjob with a gun at my building is there, overhears us and lets out two shots over the heads of all. People are leaving in the lightening up presunrise, the noise level is still loud.

The shooter leaves and we go up to the booth.

The DJ disappears through the back exit of the booth. The alleged robber has a huge mustache and carries a huge bag. He is saying the DJ is "gone". My buddy thinks.. "dead" so phones the Brookhaven LI police.  The booth empties out and we are now asking "Was there any murder, really?"

winking at the homophobe haters and those sinful AIDS folks again!

Community and press discussions about the early response to AIDS (1981-2) with the HBO film "The Normal Heart". There continues to be the ongoing high rates of HIV infection among young gay black men. Issues of racism and exclusion.

Saw a posting on Facebook and disagreed with it. The following interactions happened.


I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. -Psalms 37:25

  • R Michael Wright i have seen the righteous forsaken and children begging. one can only look at the AIDS genocide, fact that 25% of children live in poverty. This is one of the weird sayings that supported slavery, racism, ethnic cleansing.. this is scary

  • R Michael Wright I have no doubt about God. AIDS has never been about me but the thousands of patients I had in hospitals whose family and ministers saw them as not doing God's will. As our Pope Francis says "Who am I to judge".. but if not me to help, who then (sadly not usually among the righteous).

  • R Michael Wright I do not think of God nor Jesus since our minds are only tissue and water. I do thank my Mom for being an example and sitting with hundreds of people having mental illness and just listening. When she died hundreds demanded a state memorial for this volunteer, a Mom who had 9 children. I had a grandmother who sat in Chicago gay bars and was a friend to those denied basic civil rights. I have the memory of an Aunt who was Mother Superior of a Catholic religious order with a college charged with the mission of educating women to change the world. Most of all, I also have the witness to Bishop Manny Cruz of the Newark Archdiocese who found nuns for me to train in pastoral counseling or resources to help those deemed the misfortunate and undeserving, among them I would say the Mary Magdalens of our time.

  • Bishop Ronald Martin That/s precisely my point..since you fight for the hungry , abused and forsaken ; and since the Lord created such a wonderful mother just for you , then think of how great God/s mercy is , and should be forever praised in public and never doubted.

This is one of the weird sayings that supported slavery, racism, ethnic cleansing.. this is scary. No one would work with the lgbt kids in Newark in the early 2000s, I remember the voice of the daughter of an Apostolic who was thrown out into the streets for being a lesbian. she is one of the human faces such as in today's rally. Her father still preaching God's mercy.. .https://www.facebook.com/AliForney

  • R Michael Wright i have problems with a calvinist interpretation period that particular psalm refects a matter of dogma (whether one believes each of these psalms to be God's word). The Council of Trent reinforced that. We just have to see the world in different lenses and live in parallel universes. forgive and be compassionate as everything changes. enjoy the jewels in life and radiant light illuminating them. dream one's dreams.

  • Bishop Ronald Martin It was and is God/s word that has caused and informed you that there is a God in whom you believe. Calvin was just a man..The Bible is here for everyone to read and accept in it/s simplicity . When we pray , we talk to God ; when we read the word , God talks to us..again your disappointment is with Calvin , a man . You are also disappointment with people who mistreat people and not God or his word.

  • Bishop Ronald Martin Everything that sin causes is my preoccupation . That/s why in all of your experience , I am called by God today to teach you that the bible and God are inseparable . If you really want to be effective , teach abstinence of sexual sin with your ministry; an ounce of prevention is worth a pound or cure .

  • R Michael Wright i supported Bonnie Watson-Coleman but I did not realize her campaign is so theocratic. I am particularly concerned with the disregard for AIDS as an issue. I am also concerned with the lack of compassion. I did not expect to read about sexual sin today. I think the communities need to know whether these thoughts are of hers or just the public. I think taking objection to a particular psalm should not lead to dissing of the thousands of AIDS patients, family members, loved ones, neighbors. What is the science of sexual sin? Will that be an agenda of a possible Congress Member? I shared these comments with the other candidates for Congress as they may be surprised by them.
