Got collections call from 814-234-7699 on 08/26/2009 at 10:02am w/o a voicemail message left. Again, this type of phone call is for unpaid CC bills owed by banksters, which TPTB has not yet REPAID!
Tag: prose
A literal technique ‘opposite’ to verse (e.g. poetry).

20090828-Tweaked CSS
After selecting my newest `free` theme here at WordPress.com:
Sandbox 0.6.1 by Andy Skelton & Scott Allan Wallick
A theme with powerful, semantic CSS selectors and the ability to add new skins.
Tags: white, left-sidebar, theme-options, widgets, two-columns, one-column, three-columns, right-sidebar, flexible-width, microformats, rtl-language-support
I made the following changes through my paid CSS stylesheet upgrade.
Since I don’t really care for the `category`, `tags` or `comments` showing for each post entry, I’ve made the following edits:
`body.home .entry-meta,body.archive .entry-meta` {
`visibility:hidden;`
`margin:0 0 4em;`
}`
Other changes to the layout of my weblog were: background-colors to the sidebar, content, header and entry-meta; font -size in percentages; colors for the`a` and `a:hover`; and adjustments to padding, margin, unlisted and listed style types.
What I particularly like about this Sandbox theme is the auto width adjustments for screen resolutions (i.e. 800 by 600 pixels and 1024 by 768 pixels). The overflow for the bottom scroll bar of the internet browser is `hidden`, too.

20090828-New Theme
Well, I’m trying another free theme here at WordPress.com:
Sandbox 0.6.1 by Andy Skelton & Scott Allan Wallick
A theme with powerful, semantic CSS selectors and the ability to add new skins.
Tags: white, left-sidebar, theme-options, widgets, two-columns, one-column, three-columns, right-sidebar, flexible-width, microformats, rtl-language-support
It has all my preferred elements:
- Tagline
- The reverse letters obtained from Flynn’s Blogs: God’s Gold. Sunny Life.
- Time/date stamp.
- Ideally underneath the post entry title for each posts but not necessarily for pages or sticky posts.
- Appears like a news article: date followed by the time. Perfect!
- Three columns.
- Main content showing recent posts.
- Archives, such as calendar, categories, topics and search box form.
- Other useful widgets, such as links widget, Flickr widget and Askimet widget.
It, however, does not have a `navbar menu` selection towards the top but underneath the `header` section. Meh!
I wanted the `most recent posts` to appear on the left-most side of my weblog. So I chose the following, available Sandbox Skins:
Three-Column Minimalist R 1.0 by Scott Allan Wallick
Minimalist style with two sidebars on the right.
The logic behind this as with other three-column themes is for the purpose of viewing my weblog through an outdated cellphone. The order in which the blog appears on the cellphone depends what is FLUSHED to the left first followed by whatever is to the right: left to down and then up to right and down and up to the right again.
- Tagline

20090827-Collections Calling
Received a call on my cellphone from an `Unknown ID` on 08/27/2009 at 18:56pm. This is more likely Bankster of America calling on unpaid CC debt owed by the banksters.

20090827-Tweaked CSS
I couldn’t avoid editing my paid upgrade: CSS Stylesheet (AGAIN)!
I tried another theme that sported: `customer header`, `navbar` and `tagline`. But I made a compromise with my personal `perfection` and settled for `Dusk` theme by beccary.com – a dark brown and blue color but without the flowery background designs.
As a result, the `content` and `sidebar` are closer to the `header`.
For the `#content`, set top to auto:
`margin:auto 0 0;`.
For the `#sidebar`, set top to auto:
`padding:auto 25px 0 15px;` and
`margin-top:-63px;`.
To achieve the centered `#title` and narrow `#header`:
`text-align:center;`
`margin:auto 0 0;`
`float:none;` and
`height:auto;`, respectively.
Besides the above tweaks, everything else remained the same, except the `.sticky` with a `padding:0;`.

20090822-Spewing Rhetorics
Instead of telling Americans truth, Obama continues to tell stories that sound ‘too good to be true’, dodging REALITY, preventing REAL change for the better but more war of the mind – from nuclear and environment to religion and health. There’s not one instance of making peace.

20090821-Friggin’ Bored!
Conclusion: Each to his or her own. The creative soul makes up for what it has experienced to the fullest and into sheer boredom. And to make the reality less boring, propaganda specialists are hired with top pay. It’s almost like a bad movie, reincarnations happening over and over again inside a box, the mind.
I see that the Obama administration is just putting out more nonsense to keep the hive mind alive. It’s dying from boredom. Like moi, it strives for something new. But in doing so, it continues to live a lie, deceiving other drones into a state of eternal prison – fear of the unknown!. The fear is real because there is nothing else but itself and needing something but wanting more of it cannot have – peace of mind.
Which is where sleep comes in. Good night.

20090817-Collections Calling
Got collections call from Bankster of America at 12:42pm: 1-877-733-5734. Still trying to collect on taxpayers. How stupid is Obama’s stimulus plan? It’s not working because I’m still LOOKING FOR A JOB!

20090817-New Stuff
Last night, I saw the new WordPress.com home page. It now sports three tabs!
Tabs would be a nice feature in new themes for free here at WordPress.com.

20090814-Precious Prayer
From my left side and while sitting at the pew for the 0800am morning mass to begin, Rose, a blood-shot eyed, parishioner handed to me a booklet for the `Devotion To The Infant Jesus Of Prague` – A Silver Jubilee edition (August 27, 1956 – August 27, 1981). It contains seven `Loving prayers from your CARMELITES OF ANGELES CITY` (Philippines):
1. Powerful Prayer to the Infant Jesus of Prague
(by the Ven. Father Cyril of the Mother of God the First and Most Devoted Venerator of the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague)O Infant Jesus, I have recourse to You. Invoking the powerful intercession for Uour holy Mother. I beg You to assist me in my present necessity (Here mention your request). I firmly believe that You can assist me; and I confidently hope to obtain Your holy grace. I love You with my whole heart and my whole soul. I am sincerely sorry for all my sins and humbly beg Your pardon and forgiveness. I entreat You, O Kind and Loving Jesus, to give me the grace and strength to overcome in myself whatever offends You. I resolve never again to offend You; and to suffer all things rather than displease You. Hence forth I will serve you, O Divine Jesus, and for Your sake will love my neighbor as myself.
O Jesus, most powerful Child, I implore You again to assist me on this occasion (Repeat your request.), grant me the grace of possessing You eternally with Mary and Joseph and of forever adoring You with the Holy Angels and Saints. Amen.

2. Daily Offering Of The Holy Infant Jesus
I offer You dear Jesus each action of today, my prayers, my work, my sufferings. Accept them now I pray. I offer You dear Jesus, the moments as they pass; I join my feeble heart’s desire with Yours in Holy Mass. An while You Heart, dear Jesus, for sinners ever pleads; I offer You, through Mary, a decade of her beads. I offer You dear Jesus, Oh, who could offer more? Yourself, in sweet Communion, the Heart which I adore. And to Your own, dear Jesus, my poor heart closely bind; In love and reparation for sins of all mankind then take my gifts, dear Jesus, take all I have to give; Oh, would that I could give my life. Within Your Heart to live. Amen.

I prostrate myself before Your holy image, O most gracious Infant Jesus, to offer You most fervent thanks for the blessings You bestowed on me. I shall incessantly praise Your ineffable mercy and confess that You alone are my God, my helper and my protector. Hence-forth my entire confidence shall be placed in You! Everywhere I will proclaim aloud Your mercy and generosity, so that Your great love and the deeds which You performed through this miraculous image may be acknowledged by all. May devotion to Your holy infancy extend more and more in the hearts of all Christians, and may all who experience Your assistance persevere with me in showing unceasing gratitude to Your most holy infancy, to which be praise and glory forever, Amen.
5. Chaplet Of The Infant Jesus
(The chaplet to the Infant Jesus of Prague has 15 beads. It consist of prayer 3 Our Father (of the Holy Family) and 12 Hail Mary (of the 12 years of the Infancy of our Divine Savior.)Divine Infant Jesus, I adore Thy Cross and I accept all the cross Thou wilt be pleased to send me. Adorable Trinity, I offer Thee for the glory of Thy Holy Name of God, all the adoration of the Sacred Heart of the Holy Infant Jesus.
[Each `Our Father` and `hail Mary` is preceded by the aspiration `And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us`. At the end of the chaplet, say: `Holy Infant Jesus, bless and protect us.`]
6. Novena Prayer For Everday (Priest & People)
Lord Jesus, I have come to show You my wholehearted love and gratitude. I am very sorry for all my sins and humbly ask Your pardon and forgiveness. I sincerely beg You, O kind and loving Jesus, to give me the grace and strength to correct in myself whatever offends You. I will try my best not to offend You knowingly, and to do willingly whatever will please You. From now on, I will try to love and serve You better, and also my brothers and sisters as myself.
O Infant Jesus, with the intercession of Your Holy Mother, I have recourse to You. I beg You to assist me in my present need. (Pause and mention your request.)
7. Act Of Consecration To The Divine Infant Jesus (Priest & People)
Divine Infant Jesus, I adore You as my God. You are the Divine Word, the living Image of the Father, eternally begotten in His Bosom.
Lord Jesus, I adore You as the Incarnate Word. For the glory of God and for Your Infinite love for us poor sinners, You became man and were born of the Virgin Mary.
Divine Infant, I give myself entirely to You through Mary, Your and our loving Mother. in her, with her, and through her, I give You myself with all my senses, promising to use them according to Your Holy Will. I accept whatever God may have in store for me: sickness or health, sorrows or joys, death or life. I give You my total self: my intellect, my will and my emotions. I dedicate my whole self to Your service and to the love of my fellowmen through Mary’s guidance and protection. I renounce whatever may stand against the way of the sanctification of me and may endanger my own salvation. Amen.
Imprimatur: (Sgd.) Most Rev. Oscar V. Cruz, D.D.; Archbishop of San Fernando; San Fernando, Pampanga; March 7, 1979.

20090814-Precious Prayer
From my left side and while sitting at the pew for the 0800am morning mass to begin, Rose, a blood-shot eyed, parishioner handed to me a booklet, which contained this following prayer from `Priests of the Sacred Heart – Sacred Heart Monestary` in Hales Corners, Wisconsin 53130 (#6159):
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
