After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Funny thing watching this video, used to be a big Bill fan from the EjectEjectEjcet days until TDS hit, he started bitching about exercise or actually the lack thereof. I was up at 2:30 am this morn, off to the gym to work those very same large leg muscles he seems to have just become aware of. yeah, leg day, ugh.
I limped home and so I’m watching, eating my 70 grams of post work out protein and thinking, maybe Bill you might have been hip to DJT and what he meant to us gym rubes if you had been squating. I’m using gym here metaphorically BTW.
There were a few important things I stressed to my daughter and one of them was vigorous exercise is a key to a happy & healthy life. Seems pretty obvious to me, 70 now and(knock on wood) am quite healthy.
Anyway, that’s where I bailed on him. Scott Ott is even worse.
Pfizer, the people who gave the world Viagra, have always been about being the biggest dicks. They deserve to suck it long hard and deep, plus a giant teabag.
Whittle goes on and on here. Lots of fluff. I liked seeing his Russian wife. A babe considering her age.
His talk about soy, food, exercise, weight loss and testosterone is worth a listen. I never have put much faith or paid much attention to this diet or that diet. I simply ate and drank what I wished. Now at 68 I can still do that, but I have had to boost my daily exercise. Today I will be riding a bicycle around a lake for 16 miles, walking for 3 miles, doing some yoga and muscle work, and then drinking as many vodkas as I want. That’s my diet. Oh yes…I forgot the ice cream.
I’m trying to remember if BW was one of those: shut up because we lost to Biden types. However in this vid he alludes to the election steal. I like his work, in general. I really like the analogy to WWI and it works for me. IOW, I agree that the socialists don’t have sufficient reserve power to seal the deal. America is stronger than they think.
The actual depth of the Left is way thinner than most realize. Their cultural supporters are summer soldiers, and will blow away in the wind when they get to our final line of resistance (us).
