The Atomic Priest X

During the course of [late] this morning, I took the liberty of evaluating some solutions to the issue of my blog, the Atomic Priest. I came up with fifteen subsequent ideas, ranging from ridiculously basic to delusional grandiosity--a symptomatic aspect of bipolar disorder quite normal within the framework of its abnormality. (That's like waxing philosophic about theology while grounding your thoughts in atheism.)

Good morning. It is presently 4:33 AM PST and I have gone without adequate sleep now for about fifty-one hours. Stephen King wrote a wonderful, dark horse novel about this condition called, Insomnia. Excellent novel; great read.

You never really get used to insomnia. After a while it becomes something like a broken-down old friend who keeps coming around and just won't go away for whatever the reason. Still, you let him in your room every night and he sleeps quietly next to you, buzzing like a hive of restless politicians on the eve of some great American election. He is so excited that you become feverish over his aufregung and decide, well, to heck with the whole business! Getting up out of bed is no longer a chore--in fact you are sort of looking forward to it; at least until you crash between 11 AM and 2 PM. If such an event happens at all. There are those of us manics out there who simply refuse to crash at all. We figure, diable! who cares? Eventually, we will fall asleep. It is inevitable.

(I wanted to spend a moment on my NDE that took place on December 22, 1992; I have received several hundred emails requesting more information regarding the physical aspects of heaven. What did Jesus ask? "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, that a man took and planted in his garden. It grew, became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches."

Again He asked, "What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." [Luke 13:18-21]

Using a biblical context makes sense to me because there is no earthly way of explaining it. Still, keep those emails coming! You have all given me some fantastic ideas for the Atomic Priest and, believe me, I do appreciate all your support during these hectic times.)

Here are some of the blog ideas I'd like to share with you from the hundreds of followers who took the time to email me...

  • Re-publish my poems from poetry.com. Right here! On my blog!
  • Advertise my blog on Twitter [if that is allowed].
  • List random thoughts--kinda like Twitter...
  • Keep my blog family friendly. A little weird, but still PG.
  • Factoids on Frank ('Ol Blue Eyes)
  • The Atomic Priest's Daily Top Five
  • The Atomic Priest's Daily Top Ten
  • Bottom Feeders: Worst People Making News Today
  • Healing a Nation: What We Can Do to Fix America
  • The Atomic Priest Explains the Bible
  • The Atomic Priest Explains Ufology
  • The Atomic Priest Explains ...?
  • The Universe According to the Atomic Priest
  • Ask Dr. Psyche: Advice on Living with Bipolar Disorder
  • World History According to the Atomic Priest
  • American History According to the Atomic Priest

Thank you everyone! I need to get some research done, however, I doubt Lulu Poetry (what was once poetry.com!) will mind if I re-publish some of my works.

But are you absolutely certain you want world and/or American history taught by the Atomic Priest?

Just wondering.

By the way--hang in there, morris.d! Please believe me, life is not that bad! Besides, banana cream pies are too valuable to waste on your ex!
