Priorities? What Priorities?
Well, folks, today was Palm Sunday, though for me it's mostly just part of the Festival of Lengthening Days, as they call this time of year in my Danubian Neolithicverse. I believe today is also the beginning of the Jewish Passover (correction: Passover started at sundown on Wednesday, April 5). Palm Sunday, in the Christian cosmology, commemorates the morning when a radical Messianic rabbi and a bunch of his cronies and followers staged part of a Traditional coronation of a king of Israel (the new king's Humble entry into Jerusalem on the back of a juvenile donkey), as it was celebrated Back before the period of Roman occupation of their territory. Much of Jerusalem's residents of that time didn't get this inflammatory Festival of Hebrewness; but their religious leaders (pro-Roman collaborators, the most of them) did get it, and it scared the tunics off them. It was a Direct challenge to Rome's authority, and to those in Cahoots with it. Yeshua ha-Notzri's subsequent purge of the temple courtyard scared them even More, as they deduced that he'd be launching a straight-up purge of the temple itself Next, if they didn't do something about this guy. I, for one, happen to believe that they were Correct in their Scared-Shitless deductions, which explains what occurred near the end of that week, Illegal court proceedings and all.
Anyway. I spent last weekend up in the Best Western hotel in Edmonds, WA, a Charming little town a mere stone's throw Away from Northgate, trying to get as Much writing and updating Done as Possible, without interruptions from my building's hallway, Including people seeking cash loans from yours truly. I got a fair amount Done; but I have decided that what I need to prioritize in the Near future is: 1) Busking; 2) Recording song videos (both originals and covers); and 3) Uploading finished videos to Youtube. Then I can do, in no Particular order: 4) New teeshirt designs; 5) Lair updates; 6) Slideshow videos with music; and 7) Uploading the Finished versions of #6. For these, and many Other reasons, I need to stop obsessing over the zit-popping videos on Thuy Truong's YouTube channel, however Charming the young beautician might be, lancet and all. Alas, folks, that's my Latest opiate of the masses. Those things happen when you get really Bored and Aimless in life. Hence the establishment of Creative priorities...
