MARTHA STEWART is having a bake sale when literally ALL HELL breaks loose MARTHA STEWART (sighing in disappointment, tossing down her spatula firmly) “I wanted it to be fun.” Do you sleep with a gun? Do you sleep with a gun? What is done in the dark, Comes to light just for fun What is done in the night, Tends to turn to the day Do you sleep with a gun? Do you sleep? Do you pray? It is early 19th century and almost nothing technologically speaking has become available, but the small handgun seems to remain materialized; it is a smith and wesson pistol about one hundred years beyond the time itself, but unlike the traveler's other possessions, it has remained in tact. The storm and dreary rain continues to fall in its heavy downpour of the blue forest's night, the moonlight and the lightning storm almost competing with one another for the luminescence of it. Inside, the candles have gone out–and though it is dark and increasingly wet outside, some rain even drifting in through the cracks in the roof and pooling in the floorboards, trouble approaches the man, who does not not sleep, clutching the pistol as if holding a lovers hand–tight, and with designation. Do you sleep with a gun? Do you roll out of bed with the angst And the tales of the ancient Rolling around with the words in your mind All the words in the world in your heart But no courage? Do you dream? Do you dream all the kingdoms and castles in the sky? All the knowing when you do close your eyes You're soon to die Do you nightmare? Do you wonder why? Do you sleep with a gun? Do you sleep in a cage? Do you dream in the rage of anger, bleeding Wishing courage Wanting stardom Do you whisper our words in the morrow Do you love all but one in the cottage? {Enter The Multiverse} Lil Bitz I luh this dude so much. I just wanna bone em. That's it. Like a bone-in chicken wing. Thank you very much! II'm a real fan girl like that. I'm like “I'll follow you anywhere.” “Ohhh my gooooosh” It's a real thing. But sometimes I get lost in the moment, cause, you know, his songs are like 10 minutes long, and I start to thinking: Like omg it could get serious. Like if we banged and then it was effing magnificent– Cause i'm fully obsessed with him and his sausage. I've integrated them both into my mantras, so– It could happen. So sometimes I get lost in thought and i'm like “Omg what if we just hardcore banged and then fell in love like, Then we'd move in together, right–?” And then i think to myself “no , no–that's too much because actually, i'm quite scared of him.” Lol Like even if we banged a lot, and we were living in a large ass house, and I were cooking him canadian bacon and everything, I think i'd still be scared of him. I'm like “we can't be hanging in a large ass house– I will straight dissappear.” “I will hide from him.” I will hide. And he'd get sick of that shit, and he'd bet trying to get rid of me, but he can't– cause he can't find me! I'm like “this house is ginormous (lol, ginormau5) HAHAHA I WILL HIDE! He will not be able to find me. I will hide from him; like the cat. “It's just you and me, kitty” The difference is you'll find the cat at mealtime. Not me, tho. You can griddle your own canadian bacon sir. L E G E N D S I used to work at Tubby's…then I lost a hundred pounds… Congratulations! Not really. They laid me off because I was no longer technically a “big beautiful woman” But you're still a very beautiful woman. So i've heard. But that doesn't make me smart or talented. That's not true. Actually it does! My only skills and experience are in pastry chefing and topless table dancing. Well, pastry chefing–that's good! Maybe you can get a job at a bakery somewhere! No, pastry cheffing and topless table dancing; I can only do them at the same time! Oh. It's how I was trained… I see. –it's a certificate program. {Enter The Multiverse) Copyright The Collective Complex © [The Festival Project, Inc. ™] © 2025 All Rights Reserved

In order to achieve great things, we cannot just rely on talent or aspiration alone, but also training and hard work. Nowhere is this more true than in our spiritual journey. We are saved by grace, and that's a good starting point, but rather than waiting for spiritual power to come to us, we need to be serious about our spiritual goals, and actively work towards them. By doing so, we build a center of strength through God, which we can fall back to and rely on regardless of life's difficulties, and without which we will crash in anxiety whenever life goes south. We all wish to flourish spiritually, but we cannot get there accidentally; we need to train in Jesus's likeness, and we will be rewarded in this life and all eternity. Scripture: 1 Timothy 4: 1-10 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 9 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance. 10 That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
Shake hands with your guest; Monologue, monologue smug smirk Make good face– Now put a name to the face Put a time to the place IOh, all the love in the world in three flames All the doves in the flock, And three flames Put a name to the face Monologue monologue Doesnt take long but When do i get to slap the desk? Johnny! What happened? Whats the 10 vodkas, Five spritzers Full figure Figure this You were out for the count! Do tell! Or better yet, don't. I remember tgis mologue, But i dont know how 16 hours ago, I was Out for the count, you say?! OUT, Johnny! Our market is livid! lol who plays john carson Your mother. YO! I'M OLD! I LIKE OLD DUDES NOW! I'm like When the fuck did this happen?! That ain't no SILVER FOX! That's a TOTALLY CUTE DUDE! HE'S 55!! OH NOOOOOOOO! i'M OLD!!!!!!! its wednesday eve in Boston Mass… SETH MEYERS! Ah, he's going for it. Ah, man. SHOW ME YOUR EYES. Fuck. SHOW ME YOUR EYES! SUDAKIS shines a bright flash light into his former colleagues eyes. …You're not Seth Meyers. Seth Meyers does not respond, but relaxes slightly; it's obviously not safe to be Seth Meyers right now. Where's Seth Meyers? Seth shrugs but still doesn't say anything– Where is he? I have to stop here; Cop out for body language somebody's watching Somebody knows who I am I am I remember now You looked like that It went like this: I moved the world The need was good The love was gone The vein was split open And broken No fair Also, no omletts 60 minutes 60 years and 60 second clips 60 second glimpses 60 men on television but really, my attention just centers on Around ten of them or so And believe it or not, I care approach. Believe it or not, I care Or don't! –or don't! Johnny! You don't get it! You missed a show! THE tonight show! We are fucked! we are NOT! youre still sauced. I'll just take the car! What car!? Now that JOHNNY CARSON knows his Delorean can time travel, he's absolutely unstoppable. Unfortunately, it appears his delorean has been switched with a regular one– If I shoot you in your forehead? I'd rather that, than this. And I kiss you in your temple? Dear templeton, my simpleton's i'll die I desire. A wicked want. And then? A callous shadow, If i may, To bear for nothing, But a mirror This is our concept And wilted her e the flower does grow the flame The faming true and ache of lust and there For our want a jasper shore and emerald cascades there you are, And there you'll find The wave beyond the peaking break where great white sharks reside But do not wade to shallow waters; And there you find peace, And there you find certainty But now, And here, is war And fortune not but seeks truth in the gaze And for fear there does not live, but hides instead the truth that seeks to guide the lite, And yet does know our trust And there does find the faith, Forward and not Upwards and back Arrow and arrow Truth and sparrow Wreaking and wretched thoughts And the rope does hang high and solemn Looking, leap and gasp For I fall but did not land I pulled for you, I weep, my shadow, The two of diamonds, the Ace of spades, The Three of Hearts, Without my shadow I weep. I know for you nothing but conscious and knowing and needing and fated departure. I know for you nothing but chakras and eyesight and shadows and foresight. I need fo you nothing but want and by conscious, departure For nothing I want you, I weep. Sorrow. On approach of danger, The knowing, On seeth did gather, the sinking ritual the carried tribes in ships tied, weaving strings The spider bites hard And she stole my love twice And she stole my love always And she stole my love Lighting my light wit blue eyes The deception If love could be stolen at all But if not Then not love for seeking is finding and gathered had hunted And truth in forbearer Forbearance and otherwords, Shadows and shattered and ferris wheels, Now forward Gathered here for are I trust And be dismayed for you have faltered You have failures and you have cast us out of these things thinking We have not made them for you And still we seek to gather with you And here does forshadow your making Our promise to come as ones, Not as Gods, But as others, you cast out. Now, with your wicked ways and cruel be done, for sure the tables have turn, one And the gallows have not wandered far, Barrels of guns and barbells bottles and hearts of three reading cards and wanting none but justice Is he and she who are I now Begin to run from your pitied structure And there in the gasping cruelness of seeking from warcrimes this, come what may, Moving and seeking, For seeking is finding, And run, my legs have come far But trust, my dove, My wings have too, sprouted An honor, an honor one candle and three wicks Three candles and three worlds over One world and one building and still far from under the Hollywoodland Crickets sounding The Hollywood Sign Still standing and here I am not, Blades of grass And who are I now Of that which you balk at Look, ponder Go, far asunder And wish now had you not What I am is that, Run Temper temper. Mind your business. Is it gathered? To burn, or burden? Gathered. Gathered here. Then here ive wandered. To stake? Argue. I will not. And I will not. Wiry bird, From where you flown i do ponder– re d with spirit and wilding eyes, Narrow server and paring wires; I do not wish to know you now or ever, But only as bird that does golden remember. The love has not gone, And instead lives in my throat, And twists in my lungs, Ans sits in my tongue, Not as speech, or whispers, But tragedy. Unknowing this, my tender being It can never be, the nervous hill And rolling down the hill as if The weel of time itself, Not unbroken, but resilient; In sll ways, meant to tear And turn, And wobble Made for terrain for which our eyes have known And our minds have built And hands molded wiith clay, The bodies whole of all our galaxies terra feighn Terra fine Terra wept tears of a clown, And iron And veins And shadows And plays, And secrets , And whispers And truth And far And Afters. I taste a saline drip, I swallow, Suddenly cold and all the knowing that What I was, I surely already am again And what I will be, Has already come and past. The monologue, I do remember Face to a name and none to forget Well rehearsed forager! Well done bayonet! Well done, my shadow For my time is coming to wander to night And never today again for it shall never Today again, And Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. [The Festival Project ™ ] They said he would destroy me. …Ya'll were right. that fucked me up. {Enter The Multiverse} So…forfeit? Something tells me its not over The heavy heart is shattered But also tied to that which appears to come upward As if on air To be heavy And lighthearted at once– A shadow above a balloon. A rock is attached to a kite– A diamond becomes a bassoon, Then a vampire bat, and then Cut ties. In the fourth act, we all die, and now– A revival. I was crucified, But i was also suicidal so. Lets just call it a tie. L E G E N D S V.O. Crusher. My show was being subliminally plugged on at least two of the five major networks. Safe bet I could make it a third, but I didn't know where to check. I did…but didn't want to. There was much beyond the surface, Darkness in the glimmering eyes of the men in ties and uniformed suits. I was sure I was tied to something– And since I didn't know why, Or to what, The best bet I'm all in. Fuck. Was to stay broken, Under the radar, Hidden, and most importantly– Unspoken. These days. I kept more to myself than I could with the world– As it turned out… No, not yet. What do you mean? It's not time yet. They'll have to know. But not yet. At some point, they'll have to know. But not–yet. No time like the present. You made that up. Because you made up time. And it's stupid. This is ruthless. And again–they'll have to learn somehow. But not now. The sun sets at noon on our side, and still 21 hours of dark time. Did I have another tag to throw on it this? No. Are you sure? Doesn't the new series have a subtitle? No. Is it not “quantum force” That's only one, though. What's the difference. ERMO, DON'T! I'm gonna kill him! BIG BOYD, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! DOn't tell me what to DO. Wow. of course. Well yeah, they're not going to let me do– LAWYERS No. Any of this stuff with the actual muppets. You're wasting precious time! GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE, RED. ok, where does it– {cut to black} Learning to assimilate and readily avalible What's next A vape to calm the nerves? What's next? A hero fighting for relevance in corporate structure.

The pig, while beautiful, is also humongous–and appears to understand that he is being pignapped. Why would I tel the whole story When no one loves me If I had a gun, Well, I would be gone already? Why trek to Alaska For thousands of dollars To come home to no one and nobody But rotten corpses on motorcycles Where it just starts over But now you're poorer. I want to die But I want to see my son again. He's not suffering, I am But starting to resent what he doesn't understand.

Shake hands with your guest; Monologue, monologue smug smirk Make good face– Now put a name to the face Put a time to the place IOh, all the love in the world in three flames All the doves in the flock, And three flames Put a name to the face Monologue monologue Doesnt take long but When do i get to slap the desk? Johnny! What happened? Whats the 10 vodkas, Five spritzers Full figure Figure this You were out for the count! Do tell! Or better yet, don't. I remember tgis mologue, But i dont know how 16 hours ago, I was Out for the count, you say?! OUT, Johnny! Our market is livid! lol who plays john carson Your mother. YO! I'M OLD! I LIKE OLD DUDES NOW! I'm like When the fuck did this happen?! That ain't no SILVER FOX! That's a TOTALLY CUTE DUDE! HE'S 55!! OH NOOOOOOOO! i'M OLD!!!!!!! its wednesday eve in Boston Mass… SETH MEYERS! Ah, he's going for it. Ah, man. SHOW ME YOUR EYES. Fuck. SHOW ME YOUR EYES! SUDAKIS shines a bright flash light into his former colleagues eyes. …You're not Seth Meyers. Seth Meyers does not respond, but relaxes slightly; it's obviously not safe to be Seth Meyers right now. Where's Seth Meyers? Seth shrugs but still doesn't say anything– Where is he? I have to stop here; Cop out for body language somebody's watching Somebody knows who I am I am I remember now You looked like that It went like this: I moved the world The need was good The love was gone The vein was split open And broken No fair Also, no omletts 60 minutes 60 years and 60 second clips 60 second glimpses 60 men on television but really, my attention just centers on Around ten of them or so And believe it or not, I care approach. Believe it or not, I care Or don't! –or don't! Johnny! You don't get it! You missed a show! THE tonight show! We are fucked! we are NOT! youre still sauced. I'll just take the car! What car!? Now that JOHNNY CARSON knows his Delorean can time travel, he's absolutely unstoppable. Unfortunately, it appears his delorean has been switched with a regular one– If I shoot you in your forehead? I'd rather that, than this. And I kiss you in your temple? Dear templeton, my simpleton's i'll die I desire. A wicked want. And then? A callous shadow, If i may, To bear for nothing, But a mirror This is our concept And wilted her e the flower does grow the flame The faming true and ache of lust and there For our want a jasper shore and emerald cascades there you are, And there you'll find The wave beyond the peaking break where great white sharks reside But do not wade to shallow waters; And there you find peace, And there you find certainty But now, And here, is war And fortune not but seeks truth in the gaze And for fear there does not live, but hides instead the truth that seeks to guide the lite, And yet does know our trust And there does find the faith, Forward and not Upwards and back Arrow and arrow Truth and sparrow Wreaking and wretched thoughts And the rope does hang high and solemn Looking, leap and gasp For I fall but did not land I pulled for you, I weep, my shadow, The two of diamonds, the Ace of spades, The Three of Hearts, Without my shadow I weep. I know for you nothing but conscious and knowing and needing and fated departure. I know for you nothing but chakras and eyesight and shadows and foresight. I need fo you nothing but want and by conscious, departure For nothing I want you, I weep. Sorrow. On approach of danger, The knowing, On seeth did gather, the sinking ritual the carried tribes in ships tied, weaving strings The spider bites hard And she stole my love twice And she stole my love always And she stole my love Lighting my light wit blue eyes The deception If love could be stolen at all But if not Then not love for seeking is finding and gathered had hunted And truth in forbearer Forbearance and otherwords, Shadows and shattered and ferris wheels, Now forward Gathered here for are I trust And be dismayed for you have faltered You have failures and you have cast us out of these things thinking We have not made them for you And still we seek to gather with you And here does forshadow your making Our promise to come as ones, Not as Gods, But as others, you cast out. Now, with your wicked ways and cruel be done, for sure the tables have turn, one And the gallows have not wandered far, Barrels of guns and barbells bottles and hearts of three reading cards and wanting none but justice Is he and she who are I now Begin to run from your pitied structure And there in the gasping cruelness of seeking from warcrimes this, come what may, Moving and seeking, For seeking is finding, And run, my legs have come far But trust, my dove, My wings have too, sprouted An honor, an honor one candle and three wicks Three candles and three worlds over One world and one building and still far from under the Hollywoodland Crickets sounding The Hollywood Sign Still standing and here I am not, Blades of grass And who are I now Of that which you balk at Look, ponder Go, far asunder And wish now had you not What I am is that, Run Temper temper. Mind your business. Is it gathered? To burn, or burden? Gathered. Gathered here. Then here ive wandered. To stake? Argue. I will not. And I will not. Wiry bird, From where you flown i do ponder– re d with spirit and wilding eyes, Narrow server and paring wires; I do not wish to know you now or ever, But only as bird that does golden remember. The love has not gone, And instead lives in my throat, And twists in my lungs, Ans sits in my tongue, Not as speech, or whispers, But tragedy. Unknowing this, my tender being It can never be, the nervous hill And rolling down the hill as if The weel of time itself, Not unbroken, but resilient; In sll ways, meant to tear And turn, And wobble Made for terrain for which our eyes have known And our minds have built And hands molded wiith clay, The bodies whole of all our galaxies terra feighn Terra fine Terra wept tears of a clown, And iron And veins And shadows And plays, And secrets , And whispers And truth And far And Afters. I taste a saline drip, I swallow, Suddenly cold and all the knowing that What I was, I surely already am again And what I will be, Has already come and past. The monologue, I do remember Face to a name and none to forget Well rehearsed forager! Well done bayonet! Well done, my shadow For my time is coming to wander to night And never today again for it shall never Today again, And Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. [The Festival Project ™ ] They said he would destroy me. …Ya'll were right. that fucked me up. {Enter The Multiverse} So…forfeit? Something tells me its not over The heavy heart is shattered But also tied to that which appears to come upward As if on air To be heavy And lighthearted at once– A shadow above a balloon. A rock is attached to a kite– A diamond becomes a bassoon, Then a vampire bat, and then Cut ties. In the fourth act, we all die, and now– A revival. I was crucified, But i was also suicidal so. Lets just call it a tie. L E G E N D S V.O. Crusher. My show was being subliminally plugged on at least two of the five major networks. Safe bet I could make it a third, but I didn't know where to check. I did…but didn't want to. There was much beyond the surface, Darkness in the glimmering eyes of the men in ties and uniformed suits. I was sure I was tied to something– And since I didn't know why, Or to what, The best bet I'm all in. Fuck. Was to stay broken, Under the radar, Hidden, and most importantly– Unspoken. These days. I kept more to myself than I could with the world– As it turned out… No, not yet. What do you mean? It's not time yet. They'll have to know. But not yet. At some point, they'll have to know. But not–yet. No time like the present. You made that up. Because you made up time. And it's stupid. This is ruthless. And again–they'll have to learn somehow. But not now. The sun sets at noon on our side, and still 21 hours of dark time. Did I have another tag to throw on it this? No. Are you sure? Doesn't the new series have a subtitle? No. Is it not “quantum force” That's only one, though. What's the difference. ERMO, DON'T! I'm gonna kill him! BIG BOYD, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! DOn't tell me what to DO. Wow. of course. Well yeah, they're not going to let me do– LAWYERS No. Any of this stuff with the actual muppets. You're wasting precious time! GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE, RED. ok, where does it– {cut to black} Learning to assimilate and readily avalible What's next A vape to calm the nerves? What's next? A hero fighting for relevance in corporate structure. Sure, some would pay to dress an avatar But I've run out of water before I try to laugh and roll with the punches This is work and not fun for me This is not social, it's business I am not person, I'm product. Go on a walk, and look the part I took the oath, I shed the blood— Cruxes. This is a bad idea, Mark. Fuck you. All my ideas are great. MARK WAHLBERG enters the cooridor and opens the metal double doors, revealing two l jet skis on a trailer hitched to a 4X4 monster truck. [The Festival Project ™] I'm telling you. You got to get yourself one of these. I don't know, Bob, how does it work? BOB odenkirk opens a large, obscure black bag that's nearly half his own size by way of one way zipper. I'll show you. {Enter The Multiverse} JOHNNY CARSON has been in the DRUNK TANK for the maximum allowance, 48 hours, yet his blood alcohol level still reads 3 times over the legal limit. He is transferred to DETOX as the mysterious circumstances surrounding his car accident, and then the apparent disappearance of his entire “car” a (then) brand-new DeLorean from the scene of the crime, MR. CARSON insists on his lawyer, who under no circumstances seems to exist at all being present. The exact year of his whereabouts are still unknown. Still an hour to the test And I hate myself again Milk and cookies, hit the bed Shut it down, yo Shut it down.

Now, with your wicked ways and cruel be done, for sure the tables have turn, one And the gallows have not wandered far, Barrels of guns and barbells bottles and hearts of three reading cards and wanting none but justice Is he and she who are I now Begin to run from your pitied structure And there in the gasping cruelness of seeking from warcrimes this, come what may, Moving and seeking, For seeking is finding, And run, my legs have come far But trust, my dove, My wings have too, sprouted An honor, an honor one candle and three wicks Three candles and three worlds over One world and one building and still far from under the Hollywoodland Crickets sounding The Hollywood Sign Still standing and here I am not, Blades of grass And who are I now Of that which you balk at Look, ponder Go, far asunder And wish now had you not What I am is that, Run Temper temper. Mind your business. Is it gathered? To burn, or burden? Gathered. Gathered here. Then here ive wandered. To stake? Argue. I will not. And I will not. Wiry bird, From where you flown i do ponder– re d with spirit and wilding eyes, Narrow server and paring wires; I do not wish to know you now or ever, But only as bird that does golden remember. The love has not gone, And instead lives in my throat, And twists in my lungs, Ans sits in my tongue, Not as speech, or whispers, But tragedy. Unknowing this, my tender being It can never be, the nervous hill And rolling down the hill as if The weel of time itself, Not unbroken, but resilient; In sll ways, meant to tear And turn, And wobble Made for terrain for which our eyes have known And our minds have built And hands molded wiith clay, The bodies whole of all our galaxies terra feighn Terra fine Terra wept tears of a clown, And iron And veins And shadows And plays, And secrets , And whispers And truth And far And Afters. I taste a saline drip, I swallow, Suddenly cold and all the knowing that What I was, I surely already am again And what I will be, Has already come and past. The monologue, I do remember Face to a name and none to forget Well rehearsed forager! Well done bayonet! Well done, my shadow For my time is coming to wander to night And never today again for it shall never Today again, And Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow.

To the world I'm a horrible mother But no one quite knows the half of it but God And the whole problem is what is not God in the world Is all for the other's purpose. Some probably respect I was punched In front of my son And then wonder's why At some point I could no longer Hold on Insomniac So someone should go slam the door when I ponder my own thoughts I'd probably walk off a walk on roll I don't lock up no more I just go out Knowing government drones probably watch And turn over the apartment As I'm out trying to own a home But of course, nothing I do in the world is of value And I'm no one No one at all in New York and the options are Where I don't want to be Or in Saint Monica homeless. I'd get a dog if I wanted to walk it But since I don't I just sit with a plush in my lap Who I call “Gus” And it purposeless But otherwise meaningful Since from here and now And otherwise Nobody has ever loved me As much as my mother And that's saying something If you knew the whole story So no one has loved me romantically; Almost all my life was a horror show Until I started to grow up With the knowing that probably Nothing I do could be more than wrong So doing nothing becomes the hard part When all I watch are stars And I'm just not one Then again, you know It was that word That threw the first punch And then over and over And over and over And nobody loves me But everybody's got a whole story And new York's disgusting because of it How troublesome I don't have time for your politics It's a mind game but there's no reward, Or honor in it After all, when tied up in the court process And pretending the noise was not a problem And I should be so lucky In a luxury apartment Coming out of a homeless shelter But it's almost been just as horrible As other black girls trying to pull my hair out Having screaming pigs and ugly men on motorcycles Drive in circles Wearing jackets that say “I have to do this, cause Jack says” And whoever Jack is writes them pychecks Except Since it politics He might even be getting over considering Passion fuels the utmost violence And in this case Imm supposed to be the only one To go about it All the paperwork and recordings But really I don't want to Even if it earns a millions dollars In the name of God It wasn't my problem Unless I am one And otherwise, These men are sick And making people sick Is just their business I need no medication I need an new apartment But how awful my country supports that I just don't deserve one Under the circumstances But the white man Lives on borrowed time In bloodshed On stolen land Regardless of color The illusion of power Is almost over And what's more is Your only army Is considering going home (Post mortem) Considering going to God Who must have lost control just enough To cause all of the apocalypse Put the whole world in a mental hospital And lock them up for dollars and cents Unless the good drugs make sense For the blondes and the beautiful The rest of them are problems Who can go to rot, I suppose. The rest of us are unwanted colored problems Can't stay here But the kids at the music school are fake nice And I'm done pulling my heart out And scratching my eyes out Just fucking trying Just fucking trying What is the point Of being in a prison For people who love oceans and trees And decent people? There's no one in New York to really love But babies and dogs And the whole world is horrible just knowing that I don't want to do anything but die Every time I ride the subway I wish I was white From the way that that white folks treat me And I wish I was blonde Because blondes seem to have it so fucking easy It's hard to believe I'm furious, furious Aren't you curious, curious how I got here?

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Selling to a buyer in-person and selling to the same Japanese buyer online are worlds apart. Yet how many salespeople are succeeding in making the transition? Are your clients seeking virtual sales training? Not enough. COVID has revealed a lot of salespeople weaknesses. which were hidden in the face-to-face sales call world. Wishing things get better is a plan, but not a very good plan because things don't appear like they are going to get better for quite some time. There is also the fact that a lot of companies are not going to have staff in the office every day anymore. So selling online, isn't going to disappear as a part of our reality. Our skills have to include this piece of the puzzle, whether we like it or not. What do we need to do? Here are some ideas to apply with your sales team and get them better able to get the deals COVID or otherwise. First impressions whether at the office venue or online are critical. Posture sounds like an unlikely choice for something to focus on, but think about the body language clues we pick up from people according to the way they hold themselves. Online, we need to be quite formal sitting up ram rod straight, or if we are standing, than standing tall. Our posture needs to convey confidence, competence, trust, and reliability. Sit forward, Roman style toward the edge of the seat online just as you would do in a face-to-face meeting. Get the camera lens up to eye height and frame yourself on screen so that your upper half of your body is visible. This becomes important when we want to use our gestures. Many people I see in online meetings never use their gestures when explaining things. Gestures work online too, but you have to make some adjustment. The corridor between your chest and your ear height is where to use gestures, because that way they will be easily seen. Also don't wave your hands around. These fake backgrounds can't take that type of movement. So it means we need to maintain our gestures longer than usual and move our hands very slowly. You wouldn't slouch in the chair in front of a buyer. And you would look them in the eye when you talk to them. Looking at their faces on screen looks like you are looking down on them when you're talking and that cannot help build a good relationship. Instead, look straight at the lens and try to engage the buyer. We need to make greater use of our voice and lift the energy up at least 20% louder and stronger than usual to compensate for the power loss, which the camera extracts. We need to hit key words and phrases much stronger in order to give them emphasis. We also need to slow our speaking speed down because the audio on these video platforms is universally poor. Pauses become more important to allow what we have said be captured, processed, and understood. We should eliminate ums and ahs because we've rehearsed our sales call online before we make it. We want to sound assured, confident and convinced about what we are saying. Any vocal hesitations defeat that effect so we have to get rid of these verbal ticks. We need to lead off with our credibility statement. This is a brief highlight of our USP or unique selling proposition. We should be using the screen share function to show any visuals supporting what we are saying. For example, one of our USP is longevity, having stood the test of time. For that purpose, we show the New York skyline as it looked in 1912, when the company was founded and the Tokyo skyline in 1963, when we opened in Japan. This visually is much more powerful than just saying we started in 1912 and 1963. Next, we should put up a draft agenda for the call using the screen share function. In this agenda we specify why speaking with us is a good idea. We nominate that we are going to discuss their current situation and their desired future situation, as well as barriers, challenging them from reaching their targets. We ask them if they would like to add any points to the agenda so that they feel ownership of the plan for the call. If they have any additions, then we just type them straight into the document and put it all back up on screen. As we work our way through the detail, it is important to check for understanding. One of the bad elements of online meetings is that buyers multitask while we are talking. In person, they can't do it. But online is the new wild west and there are few rules. This means we have to be insistent that they turn on their camera even though this may uncover some pushback or reluctance. We need to set this up. We both appreciate that mutual trust is very important in business. So let's both turn our cameras on today while we have this meeting. If they won't even turn their camera on, you have to ask yourself if this is really a prospect you should be spending any time. After the meeting, we need to send a lot of data they can look at on their own time. Japan is the data vortex of the universe. And the basic rule is you can never give Japanese buyers too much information. If I asked for a quotation or a proposal, then we should make an appointment right there and then for the next meeting for you to take them through it. Never send the document ahead of the meeting. Arrange the next meeting and then use the screen share function to take them through it. Send the actual document after the meeting. This way you can control their understanding of the content and justify that big number on the last page, because you can explain the value it represents.

On Independence Day 2025, Alex discusses the current state of the U.S. space program and the world, searching for ways to navigate the chaos. We make historical parallels with the 1970s, during the end of the first space race and the post-Apollo era tumble (i.e. the end of the 1st Space Conundrum). Alex emphasizes the importance of mental freedom and adaptability in navigating societal chaos, and how he is practicing gratitude and using it as a tool for maintaining focus on what matters. We close out with some gratitude on the return of the last 10 years of space progress, and the glimmer of hope Alex sees in humanity during these trying times. Wishing you a fulfilling and restful Independence Day - urging you to find your own mental freedom, and finding insights into today by learning more about the 1970s.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 635, And It's About The #1 Reason Contractors Lose Clients: Poor Invoicing—And How to Fix It As we celebrate Independence Day and the spirit of hard work and craftsmanship that built our country, it's the perfect time to think about strengthening your construction business, so you have the freedom to grow and succeed. When most contractors consider why they lose clients, they often blame price competition, slow projects, or a client's unrealistic expectations. But in my experience as a construction bookkeeper, one of the most common—and preventable—reasons contractors lose business is poor invoicing practices. I know what you might be thinking: “My craftsmanship speaks for itself; invoicing is just paperwork.” But the truth is that invoices are often the last impression you leave on a client. That impression determines whether you get paid promptly, earn a good review, or ever hear from them again. Here's why poor invoicing costs you clients, how it damages your reputation, and exactly what you can do to fix it starting today. The Hidden Charges of Poor Invoicing Let's unpack what “poor invoicing” looks like in the real world: Surprise Charges – Adding unexpected line items without explanation leads clients to feel blindsided. Even small uncommunicated costs, like a few extra hours of labor or a disposal fee, can make clients doubt your honesty. Late or Sporadic Invoices – Sending invoices weeks (or worse, months) after work is completed sends the message that you're disorganized. It also forces clients to scramble their budgets, and they may start ignoring your emails altogether. Disorganized or Confusing Layouts – Handwritten invoices, crumpled paper, or Word documents with inconsistent formatting look unprofessional. They make it difficult for clients to understand what they owe and why, opening the door to disputes. Lack of Payment Terms – If your invoice doesn't clearly state when payment is due, clients may assume there's no urgency. This leads to late payments, awkward reminders, and unnecessary tension. No Proof of Work Completed – Many clients want to see proof that matches what they agreed to pay for, such as photos of progress, signed change orders, or milestones met. Without these, they might question the final bill. Errors and Omissions – Mistakes in calculations, missing line items, or billing for the wrong amount can destroy trust in an instant. These issues might seem small when you're juggling multiple jobs. Still, they add up quickly and can easily cost you a client's future business or a valuable referral. Why Invoicing is a Marketing Tool, NOT Just a Bill Invoices are more than payment requests—they're a key part of your client experience. Every interaction you have with a client, from the first estimate to the final invoice, contributes to your reputation. Consider this: clients rarely see the hours you put in behind the scenes or the challenges you overcome to finish their project. They do see your invoices, emails, and paperwork. If your administrative side feels sloppy, clients may assume your craftsmanship is, too, even if your work is top-notch. On the other hand, precise, prompt, professional invoices can: Build trust and reinforce your professionalism Encourage faster payments, boosting cash flow Make clients more likely to refer you Lead to glowing online reviews Differentiate yourself from less organized competitors When you treat invoicing as a core part of your marketing—rather than an afterthought—you send a powerful message: you respect your client's time, budget, and peace of mind. How to Fix Poor Invoicing Practices Here are six practical steps you can take immediately to transform your invoicing process—and your client relationships: 1. Use Construction-Specific Invoicing Tools Skip generic templates or handwritten invoices. Invest in software designed for contractors, such as QuickBooks for Contractors or Buildertrend. These tools let you: Create detailed, professional invoices Break down labor, materials, and other costs Track payments and overdue invoices Sync estimates with final invoices for seamless transitions They're designed to handle the complexities of construction work, including progress billing and change orders. Excel works well, too, and we have free downloadable templates here. 2. Invoice Promptly and Consistently Send invoices immediately upon completing milestones or projects. Make it a routine part of your workflow—ideally within 24 hours of finishing a phase of work. Regular, timely invoicing demonstrates to clients that you're organized and serious about your business. Pro tip: Automate invoice scheduling if your software supports it. You can set up progress invoices that are sent automatically at agreed-upon milestones. 3. Break Down the Work Clearly Your invoices should include line items that detail labor hours, materials, subcontractors, and any additional charges. Provide quantities, unit prices, and short descriptions. A transparent invoice gives clients confidence that they're paying for precisely what they approved. For example, instead of: Labor: $5,000 Break it down as: Framing labor (40 hours @ $50/hour): $2,000 Drywall installation labor (30 hours @ $50/hour): $1,500 Finish carpentry labor (30 hours @ $50/hour): $1,500 This clarity prevents misunderstandings and reduces disputes. 4. Include Payment Terms Always include clear payment terms on your invoice, such as: Payment Due: Net 15 (15 days after invoice date) Late Fee: 1.5% per month on overdue balances Ensure that your client has agreed to these terms upfront (in your contract or proposal). Stating them clearly on the invoice eliminates confusion and provides you with a legal basis if payments are delayed. 5. Add Professional Branding Your invoice should include your company logo, consistent fonts, and professional formatting. This isn't just about looking fancy—it reminds clients they're working with a legitimate, established business. Include your contact information, contractor license number, and website to make it easy for clients to reach you with questions or share your info with referrals. 6. Follow Up Politely but Firmly Don't let overdue invoices linger for weeks without action. Set reminders to follow up a few days before the due date and again shortly after if payment has not been received. Your follow-up doesn't have to be aggressive—keep it friendly but firm. For example: Subject: Friendly Reminder: Invoice #2024-015 Due Tomorrow Hi [Client Name], Just a quick reminder that Invoice #2024-015 for your [Project Name] is due tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much, [Your Name] Automated reminders in invoicing software can save you time and ensure consistency in your billing process. The Bottom Line: Better Invoicing Builds Your Reputation Ultimately, precise, prompt, and professional invoicing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to market your construction business. Clients who trust your paperwork are far more likely to trust your work and recommend you to others. Plus, you'll benefit from: Improved cash flow Fewer disputes Better client relationships A stronger reputation for professionalism Next Steps: Let's Fix It Together Suppose you're ready to stop losing clients to poor invoicing and start winning more referrals. In that case, it can help you set up a professional, efficient invoicing system tailored to your construction business. As a construction bookkeeping specialist, I know how to streamline your paperwork, allowing you to focus on what you do best: building. Wishing you a safe and joyful Fourth of July!

President Trump expresses frustration with Iran and Israel for breaking a tenuous ceasefire in its early hours by using R-rated language in an interaction with White House reporters. While Dan appreciates the fire, are we better served by leaders who exercise some level of restraint with what they put out into the public sphere - or is casual swearing here to stay?

Hello, dear listener. Looks like we're having a two-fer with out-of-ordinary entries.I had been working on a draft for tomorrow's newsletter, only to of course have it entirely undermined by the events that unfolded last night. I decided instead to record some more focused thoughts on the situation.Depending on how the next 24 hours or so go, I may put out a shorter newsletter/podcast covering some other topics, but I am treating everything as temporary for the time being.Wishing you well. Stay safe. Stay frosty. Stay skeptical. Remember your community.

The astrology this week shows a time of new beginnings that may feel complex and multifaceted. A New Moon highlights the square of Jupiter to Saturn-Neptune which brings into focus questions about identity, vision, ideals, and how practical application is possible in daily life. Mercury also makes several aspects to show a shifting perspective is possible. The astrology this week includes:Sun square Neptune: Softening the ego and sense of self. Intuition and extrasensory perceptions or synchronicities may speak to you more directly. This aspect often invokes the question, “who am I?”. There can be an opening for perceiving your Self in a more transpersonal way, outside the bounds of material roles or relationships. For some, this may feel like the dissolving of psychic structures (beliefs, ways of being, patterns of behavior, etc.)Sun conjunct Jupiter: Feelings of growth, expansion, more possibilities opening up, taking on more, and possibly overwhelm. This aspect can indicate a hopeful, optimistic feeling. There can be delight in new potentials becoming available. And also, it can also signal an exaggeration of energies where we feel like things are happening too much, too fast, and/or too much to choose from. Sun sextile Mars: This subtle aspect indicates a subtle boost of vitality is available. Taking action or being direct may be helpful.New Moon in Cancer: on Wednesday, June 25th at 3:32am PT at 4 degrees Cancer. New beginnings, planting seeds, initiating something that will continue to grow over the next month, six months, or the next year and beyond. This new beginning is particularly focused on emotional security, emotional safety, and community healing. You may also wish to reflect on how you have transformed since the last New Moon a month ago (May 26th), since the last Full Moon in Cancer 6 months ago (January 2025), or the last New Moon in Cancer a year ago (July 2024).Mercury square Chiron: Healing experiences involving your thoughts, mind, or communication. Mercury-Chiron symbolizes a challenge around communication, thoughts, self-talk, or internalized perspectives that is ready for healing. This may also signal connection with a mentor, teacher, or revealing your innate healing/mentorship qualities.Mercury sextile Uranus: This subtle aspect indicates a rapid and unexpected release of energy is possible.Mercury moves into Leo: Mercury will be in Leo for quite some time from Thursday, June 26th – September 2nd. Because Mercury will eventually retrograde while in Leo from July 18th – August 10th. Mercury's movement into Leo indicates the beginning of shifting our mental focus to matters of self-expression, generosity, and authentic communication.Mercury trine Saturn: Increased ability to focus and concretize your thoughts or communication process, or any kind of intense analytical thinking.Mercury trine Neptune: Increased imagination, creative ideas, and ability to deepen into altered states of consciousness, dreams, or synchronicity.Mercury opposite Pluto: Intense or depth-oriented thoughts or communication. Mercury-Pluto is known for symbolizing deep conversations, intense research, and sometimes can show a tendency for rumination. Find a place to focus your mind that feels regenerative.Venus square Pallas: Finding a way to channel your creative inspirations that feels free, spontaneous, and yet strategic. What is in your heart that wants to come forward at this time?…Reflection Questions:1. What is emerging from you at this time? How can you create space for this new beginning without rushing or pushing?2. What defines you?3. What are you feeling called to contemplate more deeply?...Wishing you a week of ease, security, and safety
Hey there, and welcome to the weMove podcast!This week's episode is one for the tennis fans—and for anyone inspired to bring people together and build a thriving community. I'm in conversation with Prince Boucher, the founder of Mission Athletic Club in San Francisco. To me, this is a masterclass in creating a social sporting community that's organized, respectful, and uniquely individual.Whether you're passionate about tennis or dreaming of starting something in the racquet sports space, this episode is a must-listen. Prince and Mission Athletic Club have built something truly special, rooted in the fundamentals—like access to great free court infrastructure—but elevated by the way the community has been empowered to grow and shape the club.We dive into all things tennis, San Francisco, and the city's changing dynamics, including the jaw-dropping reality of what $100,000 means for the poverty line. From there, we explore the innovative way the club is run, the tech platform that keeps it all connected, and the incredible scale of this community, with games happening every day across the city.For our UK listeners, think ParkRun—except for tennis. It's that level of organization, but with a fresh, vibrant twist that only tennis can bring.I absolutely loved this conversation with Prince—thank you for your time and for sharing your journey with Mission. Wishing you continued success!As always, from Chris and me—peace ✌️.https://www.missionathletic.club/https://www.instagram.com/themissionathleticclub

In this episode we have another home birth story for you! This time we're talking with soon-to-be mom Jennifer Sanchez. Jennifer lives a vegan lifestyle and so we were super curious about how that has played into her pregnancy and home birth planning. Jennifer was a lot of fun to talk to and we're excited to have her on the Doing It At Home Podcast. Jennifer is currently 6 months pregnant and planning for her first child. Her passion is about “helping others to live healthier, more compassionate and eco-friendly lives through the power of making plant-powered choices.” This has also influenced her process of choosing home birth. After making the shift into self-improvement and personal development about 7 years ago, she's been more focused on being informed and doing research when it comes to life decisions. She watched the Business of Being Born (like a lot of our home birth moms...Ricki Lake if you're out there, we want to talk with you!), and thought, “this is what it's supposed to be like, this is motherhood.” She reached out online for home birth resources and came across the Well Rounded Momma, a source of support and information for her throughout the pregnancy. Jennifer is taking care of herself through meditation, taking time to bond with baby, prenatal yoga and releasing any fear-based thinking that's going to create unnecessary anxiety around birth. Wishing her and her partner Jose all the loving, peaceful vibes for welcoming their baby in the next few months. Stay tuned!
