Unification blog purpose



Motley means "an incongruous mixture". I was given a Buddhist name by my partner: Kamuka.

Love Shakespeare, I'm reading through is plays, read 30 of the 38, and I've read 8 secondary books, and several retellings of the plays in modern novels. I watched a lot of free plays. Here is my blog: Shakespeare Chronologically.  I have 1,719 page views, 141 posts. It is here that I collect all my experiences in my journey reading all the plays and poems of Shakespeare. I even entertained the authorship question for the month, but now I'm just arguing for more empathy for it on Reddit.

I've tried to make a literary blog that didn't go too far. Only 14 views for 3 posts at Fiction Book Club. But I got 84 views on Thoughts On Fiction. I've even tried to be a culture critic. I took a class on mythology that reawakened my love of ancient Greece and Rome. I wanted to travel to Ireland and read some Irish literature.

The Dharma, the Buddha and the Sangha are my refuge. I have 162,750 page views and about a thousand a month for my 1280 pots on Going For Refuge. I do book reviews, goto the opera, and blog about anything Buddhisty. This is my most popular blog and in the 15 years of it, I've earned $10 from Amazon.

I even started an opera novice blog with 2,338 views of 19 posts). I've wanted to do a jazz or music blog at times, but that never got off the ground. I love jazz, 80's music, Bob Dylan, folk, and all kinds of music. I've listened to a lot of hispanic music during my second marriage, and also got into the blues.

Food is so important, and becoming an imperfect vegan is really important. I am heavily influenced by Under The Influence of Food, so I created Under The Influence of Cori. I have also created a blog to include the photography of her beauty and the flowers I've sent her via photographs. And my daughter. My original blog was William's Wonder Years with 14,797 total views. I added in his brother so that it was William and Andres' Wonder Years. Aw, we went apple picking in 2015.

I love sports. I wanted to develop my sports writing. So I created New York City Sports Musing with 13,262 page views.

In the past I was a psychotherapist, so I created Mental Health Blog with 14,650 page views and 234 pots.

I love hiking, so I created Hiking In Nature. I love my cats. Oh, Oscar. I brewed my own home brew.

My pop gave me a computer and it had a lot of photos on it, so I created I like Rich's Photographs.

And then there were lesser blogs, that tried to express gratitude or formulating experience, or writing stories, or remembering the past, deep thoughts. There are more. My least read blog is perhaps my politics blog.

When I came across the definition of motley, I decided that would be my unification blog name. Welcome to hopefully my last blog.

This blog will comment on Buddhism, literature, culture, food, nature, mental health, sports or any other quirk coming out of my mind that somehow I feel, "I must blog that."

I know that people make fun of Blogs. On How I Met Your Mother, Swarley says, "I think you guys don't read my blog." On Corner Gas, they get Hank to blog so that they don't have to listen to his crackpot theories. They will just say they read his blog. There are other references along a similar vein.

What are my favorite blogs? I've never read any of these blogs in the New York Magazine. The top blog today is Business Insider, then Wired. I googled the most enriching blogs and they seemed pyramid schemes about blogging to make money. I did once get someone to blog on my blog, several times I got people to post on my blog. I don't do book reviews on Amazon or Goodreads because I want to own my own thoughts, instead of giving them away. I was hoping to run across the blog I liked that I wanted to model this blog off, but I couldn't find it. It was basically a blog that quoted and discussed things a woman was reading and it could be anything.

Maybe this won't be an incongruent mixture.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...
