Parallelisms & dichotomies
Thats what TimTvs are made of! Remember in the old Winnie the Pooh cartoons, when Pooh would suggest something to Tigger, he would always say something like
Climbing trees? Thats what Tiggers do best! and then, of course, hed get stuck in the tree! Ha ha.
Earlier tonite my friend Pele called me her hero. So I said I'm glad I'm your hero. It's what I do best! Ha ha again.
For those of you that are trying still to figure out why the heck I am this effervescent electromagnetic trainwreck of a person, let me clue you in on this wisdom I received last year.
A girl who had a very different lifestyle from mine watched me be who I am for quite a while, and then decided that she would have me. So in the early part of our relationship, she got to see what I am like when I am on. (Not that Im ever not on, but I mean ON on.) I was up and out and beyond. I was spinning in infinity and stars trailed in a cape behind me. I had a flagrant disregard for anyone who doubted my power or anything that tried to stand in my way. I was Godzilla and mediocrity was Japan. I was Adam Ant, I was David Bowie, I was Iggy Pop and Jim Morrison and Elvis in leather with his lip curled and his hips edited out.
She was bewildered and confused, trying to take all of this in and figure out what the hell I was on about with my erratic yet obviously inspired behavior. She was under the firm belief that I was an egomaniac, a narcissist, and a fraud. And I admit, it was easy to see it that way. After many many hours of talking, I finally made her see. I was brought up as an ugly duckling. I was skinny, nerdy and had bad skin. In the little football/factory town I grew up in, I spent year after year being rejected for my beliefs, mocked for my clothes & hair, and ridiculed for the thoughts and ideas I held as my own. With my close band of intimate pals, we held on to our excitement and curiosity and love for the world until we could get up and out into a bigger, better life.
And so I fought, like a caterpillar in its cocoon. I forced myself to grow wings. I tried and failed and worked and bled over and over until after so many years I was able to break free and fly. I became my own master, and power surged from my eyes and fingertips. And instead of hatred or bitterness toward the people who tried to press me into the mold, all of my strength went into the glorification of the beauty of the world. I asked myself, what are the things that I love most about this life; what do I look for? I realized it was Beauty, Mystery, and Wonder. And so I came to see, that all along I was striving to make myself what I was searching to find in the world. I wanted to be for others - Beautiful, Mysterious & Wonderful.
And so, to empower myself to face the world, without fear of rejection, without hesitation perchance to fail, I became TimTv; larger than life, bigger than 3 dimensions. Weaver of words, Wearer of loincloths, Inciter of cerebral uprisings... Eater of sandwiches! Castigator of mendacity! A little boy in a Giganto Robot Badass suit, just now learning how to operate the controls
So this is what I am. This is who I am. This is what I do. I am the dorje; the connection between this supernatural world I see swirling around me and the screen youre reading now. I am Morpheus with two pills in my hand. I am here and I am now & ever shall be thus.

Aj: Dont die.
me: I cant die, remember?
Aj: Oh yeah, I forgot. Youre invincible.
In an interview, they asked the 34th generation grandmaster of Ninjutsu, Masaaki Hatsumi, what it was like to be Soke (grandmaster), he said Its very nice, but Mrs. Hatsumi doesnt call me Soke and I still have to take out the garbage.
And with that, I bid you goodnight. I have some garbage to attend to
