Könnte sein, dass dies gar nicht so einfach ist. Manchmal ist eine seitenlange Beschreibung wesentlich einfacher zu erstellen, als einen knackigen Slogan zu er-finden.

Mein persönliches Beispiel ist, dass ich früher nie wirklich wusste, wie ich mich selbst bezeichnen sollte - Schamanen sagte, ich sei keiner von ihnen - Hexen sagten, ich sei keine von ihnen - Persönlichkeitsentwicklung darf ich keine anbieten weil ich keine Lebens- und Sozialarbeiterin bin - und und und.

Also bin ich irgendwann dann auf - Ent-Wicklungs-Helferin - gekommen - ich helfe Menschen bei ihrer persönlichen Weiterentwicklung. Und dann auch die Doppelbedeutung von wegen ent-wicklung - mit dem metaphorischen Hintergrund, das etwas ausgewickelt wird - der wahre Kern zutage treten darf.

Dies mal als Berufsbezeichnung - der Werbeslogan für meine Coachingtätigkeit kam, während ich im Stau stand. Da ging der Weg von "magische Momente" über "Lebe dein wahres Selbst" bis hin jetzt zum echten und aktuellen Slogan von "Lebe dein volles Potential"

Martin Buber (1878 - 1965)

Ich weiß, dass du das bereits weißt. Ich wollte es nur nochmal gesagt haben :-)
Reife Früchte sind prall und bunt - reife Menschen auch ;-)
Rund, abgerundet. Und: BUNT :-) Den bunten Kern auslebend, den wir seit unserer Kindheit so gut versteckt gehalten haben... :-)
Fröhlich-fruchtige bunte Sommergrüße von Elisabeth  @-->--
  

Down at the Cock & Bull, I met Kidcool, the Mayor of Ayr (ha, that rhymes). Allorardagon was there. Later, Ariani popped in and we shot the breeze about the generalities of living on some imagined continent on the other side of the world in the far-flung future.

I stepped out to check my mail and found another 100 pence reward for my promotion of the Kingdom. I think I'm going to like it here.

I returned to the C&B to find Drake_roanoake engrossed in some political housekeeping discussion with the others - most of whom were on the City Council as well. Apparently there was some matter where Allorardagon was promoted to some new post recently. Later, they launched into a flurry of discussion about someone named "Shin" who apparently isn't well thought of at the moment. I would have liked to have stayed longer, but the mines await. I bid "goodbye" and went on my way.

I won't go into too much detail about work in the mines since, it's pretty much the same thing each day (the occasional head-injury not withstanding).

After work, I returned to the C&B and met a few more citizens of Ayr. First, I met Wandress, daughter of Montgomerys and Kern. She's a local wheat farmer. Lady Beckiboo11, butcher and pig breeder, was also there.

At one point, the topic of joining the RSA came up. Joining a militia seems interesting, but I think I'll stick around Ayr for the time being to setup a farm and such.

Soon, the conversation turned to career paths and butchery quotas. I confess to drifting off while they spoke. Suddenly, I noticed that the room was quiet and everyone was staring at me. Apparently, the jokes the other miners had been making about my making outrageous statements weren't jokes at all. The kind (but perplexed) folks at the tavern swear I yelled something about not believing in butter. I have no memory of the incident. Hopefully, these outbursts will occur less frequently as time goes by. Feeling somewhat sheepish, and very tired, I decided to call it a night.

I returned to my shack and spent my remaining waking moments updating this journal.

Be sure to check back for pictures!

Apparently these two weren't receiving enough attention lately. So, to rectify that oversight, Paula Jones and Gennifer Flowers have teamed up for their own website. On it you can watch them relate tales of illicite experiences the two had with Bill Clinton and it's only for the low low price of  $1.99 a pop. I guess they just wanted to have their own Pay-per-view. Yes it seems the two are broke as well. Since they haven't had any tabloid attention in years it seems their flash in the pan celebrity status has dried up. The two were out in front of the Clinton Presidential library Monday hucking their site. "It's a way we can get our story out there in our own words, without someone making their own interpretations or corrections," Jones said. In other words, you can lie your ass off and not get caught by some savvy newperson has actually done their homework. Yea, I can see where that presents problems. Well, it's always amusing to watch has beens try to recapture glory days.

ROMANIAN JET FIGHTER COLLIDES WITH UFO

A report that has been recently leaked shows that a Romanian jet fighter had a collision with a UFO. Chief investigator Commander Nicolae Grigorie said in the report: 'We can definitely say what this thing was not, but we cannot say what it was.' Romanian defence ministry officials have ruled out all normal types of collision such as birdstrikes, ice or small meteorites. Pilot Marin Mitrica was slightly injured but managed to land the plane safely after the incident last year. According to the report, the cockpit was completely shattered during a training flight over Transylvania and it was recorded on an inflight video. I'm sure we'll never get to see that one. Transylvania, I wonder if they were bats, or maybe a vampire returning home. You need to give those creatures of the night lots of airspace.

 SEX IN THE CONFESSIONAL.

People have made love in a lot of strange places but this one just about takes the prize. In Cesena, Italy a couple were caught having sex in a confessional box while mass was going on. They say those Italians are hot-blooded. The couple's lawyer says they had been drinking too much and had gone too far. That demon alcohol will get you every time. Although I have to admit I've never heard that little devil on my shoulder whispering "Have sex in the confessional, go ahead, I know you want to." It haas been reported that the couple have repented and asked forgiveness. They're going to be "Hail Mary"ing for awhile on that one. Last week the bishop celebrated a "Mass of reparation" in the cathedral where the confessional box incident took place to make up for the sacrilege. Hopefully they also celebrated a good hosing down with a lot of disinfectant.

MAN SHOT IN HEAD WITH NAIL GUN

George Chandler of Shawnee, Kansas was outside working on a project when the cord for his nail gun got tangled. It accidentally went off and a nail was shot into his head. "It never did really what you call hurt," the Shawnee man said Wednesday. He says he only felt a little sting. Chandler said his friend Phil Kern was using a nail gun to mount lattice on Chandler's deck when a hose on the powerful tool became caught. He stood up just as Kern tried to free the gun and it discharged. At first, they couldn't locate the nail. But then Kern saw it, he ordered Chandler to sit down while he called 911. Dude, look where you're pointing that thing. An emergency room doctor tried unsuccessfully to remove the nail with a pair of pliers."He looked at me and said, 'I need a claw hammer,'" Chandler recalled. "I thought, 'Ah, he's just teasing.'"So the doctor borrowed a claw hammer from a worker to finish the job and sent Chandler home with a few stitches. "He got a screwdriver at the same time, and he took the screwdriver and pried the nail up a little bit and got the claw hammer," Chandler said. You know, maybe taking some off classes like carpentry for your medical degree can come in handy. The doctor was probably a fan of "This Old House." It brings to mind the old axiom, "If all else fails, get a bigger hammer."

HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME STAR FOR AN APE?

You bet. Cheeta the famous movie chimp deserves a star. I know I was entertained for endless hours watching those Tarzan movies with the antics of Cheeta taking center stage. There were times he upstaged the actors. Believe it or not, the 76-year-old chimp, who the Guinness World Records has called the oldest living, non-human primate, is retired and lives in Palm Springs. Cheeta also has a MySpace page, which lists painting "Ape-Stract Art" among his hobbies, and The Monkees his favorite band. Now there is a petiton going around to get him a star on the Walk of Fame. Actually, this is the seventh attempt at it. Other animal stars like Lassie and Rin Tin Tin are there. Heck even Godzilla and Donald Duck are there and they aren't even real. Cheeta has certainly paid his dues and deserves this coveted recognition. Heck I say why stop there, lifetime achievement award from the Academy. Go here to help correct this sad error and give some love to Cheeta. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/GoCheeta/ He's been waiting a long time for this. Let's not disappoint him.

Just as the Supreme Court decided it didn't have to listen to the majority of Californians, some county clerks are trying to find ways not to have to listen to the majority on the court.

According to stories over the weekend, Kern's and Merced's county clerks issued statements that they will give out the new "Participant A and B" marriage licenses beginning June 17, but they would not preside over gay marriage ceremonies, citing space and staff constraints.

In the case of Kern County, clerk Ann Barnett plans to stop ALL marriage ceremonies in the county on June 14.

Merced County's Stephen Jones initially said the same thing about stopping all marriage ceremonies, but later retracted the statement under pressure from county officials who agreed to hire more clerks and provide more office space. Jones has asked county attorneys to file a brief opposing implementation of the Supreme Court's ruling, according to sources.

In Kings County, the clerk is citing a legal loophole as throwing in doubt whether the county has to actually issue the new marriage licenses starting June 17.

Although the state's Office of Vital Records ordered courts to start using the new gay marriage licenses once the Supreme Court's ruling becomes final on June 16 at 5 p.m., the Supreme Court in its decision also ordered a lower-level court that had upheld California's law on traditional marriage to issue a new order favoring gay marriage. However, it's not clear when that appeals court must comply. Kings County is taking the stand that it doesn't have to issue gay marriage licenses until that court issues the revised order.

Stay tuned as the war heats up.

During a speech to a class of 2^nd grade students at George Washington Carver Elementary, Kern referenced her beloved slave “Mimi” as the backbone of her plantation.

History teacher, Mr. Thompson, interrupted Kern and explained to the students that slavery ended in 1870.

“You’re shitting me,” said Kern. 

Kern recently created controversy with her comments about homosexuals and terrorists.

 “I’m not surprised by her statements,” said Thompson. “She doesn’t seem to know what decade, much less century, we’re in.”

 Kern continued her speech with a discussion about the unicorns and leprechauns that live on her farm.

“Unicorns are real,” Kern said.  “They’re as real as leprechauns, the boogie man and my son’s heterosexuality.”

Stacey, Carver 2^nd grader, stood up and called Kern a stupid poo-poo head.

Kern said Stacey was poo-poo terrorist head, and that she would not apologize for any of her statements.

“I don’t think people even want an apology anymore, they just want her to shut-up” Thomphson said. 

Stacey ran out the room crying.  

According to Kern, there are no plans to free Mimi.

“I from Russia,” Mimi said, “I vant husband.”

Mimi, whom is not a slave, is actually a purchased Russian bride.

Kern is scheduled to speak at a pro-choice rally Friday.

Justin came out to me three new year's eves ago and took his life exactly 5 months later. People like Kern need to realize that it is not their place to judge – please!  I miss Justin with every ounce of me today and I can’t help but think how different our world would be today if we were more accepting of each other. 

Two US officials came to the centre of the news last week each for very different reasons. One is resigning, perhaps facing legal implications, and the other enjoys full protection from the party she represents and local authorities; what were the charges? One had sex with a prostitute and the other was openly racist, guess which is which!

Eliot Spitzer, who will step down as New York's governor, was found …associating - I have to admit that I love words like that, especially in cases like this - with a prostitute using the services of a certain office often. The very same governor was elected by flagging his fight against …prostitution. I totally agree with his resignation and I totally agree with the man having to deal with a court room and charges. My agreement has nothing to do with using a prostitute and paid sex, I think that is something he and his wife have to deal with, but - I’m sorry for my cynicism - he’s obviously missing something in his life by looking for it somewhere else, preferring to pay instead of having a mistress… something that might have endangered his marriage even more.

My problem is not there, my problem is that a man of his authority, who has obviously spent a long time researching prostitution, may have used this to find the office and may have used his influence to get what he wanted. The man was the Governor of New York and former star prosecutor having prostitution as his main target, so he knew. He knew not only what he needed to know, but also knew everything, which means that he was keeping secrets and, in extent, that he was covering up and that only leads one to corruption! It sounds hard and heavy but it is true and I’m happy justice has found its way to him and obviously he is going to be punished in many ways, including the end of a promising career and most likely the end of his family.

However, let’s move to the next incident. State Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, Republican member of the Oklahoma Legislature, has said that "the homosexual agenda is just destroying this nation" and poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than terrorism, "According to God's word, that is not the right kind of lifestyle." Any comment?

What this woman, who apparently has served as a teacher in the past, said is beyond any comment and the words 'racist' and 'prejudice' sound too small to cover what she announced to the public. It was not enough; the case has gone far further. The local Republicans covered the lady by declaring openly their full support and finding any suggestion for her resignation inappropriate. Inappropriate it is that they haven’t resigned all of them from any official position, inappropriate that they haven’t publicly apologized for even thinking to agree with comments like that, inappropriate that they dare to even argue. Please this has nothing to do with freedom of speech. I’m tired of all these years listening to Nazis and racists preaching about freedom of speech, calling for their right to say and believe what they want. I’m sick and tired of them!

Ms. Sally Kern should resign her public office immediately; she should publicly apologize for every single word she said and the state based on a constitution that guarantees equality to every citizen and protection of racists and prejudice like her should take her to the court and punish her by example stripping her of every right to ask for office again. In Iran they are executing gays, is this future we want, is this the democracy we are all standing for?

Comparing the two cases I have to admit that my first reaction to Mr. Eliot Spitzer’s case was a smile and later thinking seriously about it I started getting a bit upset, but reading Ms. Sally Kern’s comments I felt really angry from the very first moment and the anger is building up more and more. Hitler actually sent homosexuals to Dachau and the gas chambers and, just like Ms. Sally Kern, he thought they were …not right. I suppose for Ms. Sally Kern having long hair is not right, smoking or piercing your ear and I’m sure she would never vote for Mr. Obama, not because he is a Democrat, but for the obviously not right reasons.

Republican Representative Sally Kern of Oklahoma made a speech that was beyond incredulous. There are quite a few Republicans in the country that bring 'narrow minded' to an art form, but Ms. Kern has thrown outright bigotry into the mix. Whether you believe in Gay rights or religious respect... or you don't, I'm sure you'll agree that we should not be voting in bigots to our government. Each and every one of us is something that someone has a problem with. For this elected official to make a speech as she did, is inexcusable and the fault lies with each and every one of us for voting these people into office. We give them the power to oppress freedom and impose their narrow beliefs on everyone around them.

We should worry about our children learning from people such as her. I do not know her ethnicity or cultural heritage and, I don't need to... but as a person I feel she is a pig. Shame on you Oklahoma and shame on all of us for tolerating behavior like this from the very people we hire to represent us. Are we this cowardly and lazy as a people to let this continue?

It doesn't matter if you think Gay people should have rights or not. They're coming after you next. Remember when Blacks weren't allowed to drink from the same fountains as whites and Jews were animals and the Irish were a plague on America and the worst thing you could be was Puerto Rican? This list goes on and on. You're on it somewhere or you will be soon. So, be careful when voting. You may vote yourself in some hatred meant just for you.

Here's her email: sallykern@okhouse.gov  Though I doubt it will last long.

Oh, and try to leave her son out of it. He's not the issue.

Sally Kern, an Oklahoma State Rep., recently rose to an elite status held only by the likes of Weng Weng, The Landlord skit and that kid who sang Chocolate Rain; an Internet Star. Shine on, Sally, shine on.

According to CNN, Sally was "secretly" recorded at a Republican meeting where she was asked to express her views on the Gay Lifestyle. I must note, I added the quotation marks not because I am quoting CNN, but because usually, now-a-days, when you are in office, and you go to some kind of a meeting, unless it is either your Secret Skull Society located underneath your Ivy League Alma Mater or your weekly White Power pot luck, YOU'RE GOING TO BE RECORDED NO MATTER WHAT.

The woman makes claims during her speech about the effect of gay people on society, saying things like, "I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam." At least she said Islam. I was worried she was going to say "terrorism or Scientology." Thank you for avoiding a major Hollywood uprising. I notice she only mentions two threats to the U.S. She leaves out quite a few, though, like High Cholesterol and a "Potential" recession. Maybe she got to that later in the meeting.

I am not going to quote her anymore because she is not saying anything that you haven't heard already...according to the Bible...according to her. To me, that is small potatoes.

The real issue is how Sally claims she shouldn't apologize for saying what she said. "What is wrong with me, as an American, exercising my free speech rights?," says Kern. A woman wearing an Auburn sweatshirt standing in front of a Subway, (clearly a wonderful source for an opinion from CNN), claims she has the right to free speech, regardless. Hey guys, guess what...we have a couple people here who made it past the first Amendment of the Constitution.

These people aught to be put across someones lap and spanked in front of everyone. Of course you have the right to say whatever you want. Of course you have the right to speak your opinions, no matter how out-of-date or very similar to the 1920s as they are. NO ONE SAID YOU DIDN'T YOU IDIOT. The REAL point of the First Amendment, and most people don't know this, is that you also have the right to get made fun of until you cry for what you say. You can say anything you want..."Hey everyone, I think being Gay is wrong, and also women should stay home in the kitchen and the Oakland Raiders are the best football team ever." You can say that, but you will, and SHOULD, be made fun of for saying those things. So, no, Sally, you do not need to apologize for what you said. Be strong, stay the course, don't be a flip-flop...and all that other crap that Republicans say, but do realize that by saying what you said, you are asking to be made fun of. You can see the YouTube video that made her famous here.

Before you go on and think that Sally is alone in this issue, think again. These cute little guys are showing their support wearing shirts that are 100% cotton, but those aren't the only things that are 100%.

UPDATE:

Thanks to Heather for the comment. You can go here to sign a petition to have her removed from office. It may not be much, but at least you say you did something about it.

Actually, idiots like Rep. Sally Kern (R-OK) are as scary as terrorists.

In this video, Kern launches into a tirade against gays and lesbians. She thinks she's talking to 50 or so Republican supporters. This is what they sound like when they think they're alone. And this crazie used to be a teacher!

Kern:

"No society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than a few decades."

Hello, the Greeks.  Someone actually let her teach children.

"I honestly think it's (homosexuality is) the greatest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam."

Wait there's more:

"Two-year-olds! You know why they're trying to get early childhood education. They want to get our young children into the government schools so they can indoctrinate them.

Take your babies, and run for the hills. The Gays are coming to brainwash tots.
