a late night MD2020 fueled rant-a-thon into the ether from the IRL #cbgbomfug
A high energy, high wire, high strung, high anxiety Gibberish Church culminating with a special sermon from guest speaker Jimmy Kimmel!
also want to meditate? It's worth it. You can buy all kinds of books and listens to all kinds of podcasts and watch all kinds of videos and learn all kinds of techniques, but that's just capitalism making a little simple thing complicated.
Meditation isn't even mystical, it's a health conscious decision to repair the ADHD riddled mind from the modern problem of a million things screaming for your attention at once.
That keeps you in constant fight or flight mode. Your stupid screens, calendars, podcasts, alerts, social media, work stuff, personal stuff, dating apps, Netflix, choice paralysis, cars, news, medicine, the whole fucking enchilada is KILLING YOU!
All you do now is scan for danger because there is too much coming at you. That's why you have your anxiety, depression, stress. You are fucking up your brain by trying to distract yourself from the real shit of life with the nonsense of life.
So, the truth about Meditation from a strictly health sense is you shrink your amygdala, so you are not always in fight or flight mode, you gain more grey matter, you boost your neuroplasticity, you strengthen your parasympathetic nervous system, get high off oxytocin, you improve sleep, reduce risk of heart disease and depression, boost your immune system, nourishes your healthy bacteria in your microbiome, and so much more!
That is just the neuro-scientific and health based reasons, which totally avoids any new age or buddhist mumbo jumbo.
However, the biggest reason I talk about meditation, is it always just so happens to be a starter kit for living outside the construct...which if you humanity has any hope people have to start realizing how absurd, fake, nonsensical, stupid, irrational, damaging, cruel, and flawed the construct itself is.
All the things you think are important, are just shit really. Meditation will help you figure that out.
I don't even have to worry about that part. If you meditate, you will start to see all of it clearly. Even the lack of self, which you still think you have, that goes away too.
But first- here's how to meditate the non woo woo style.
Prescription for Meditation (non-woo-woo version)

A night of unmitigated madness as we celebrate the sacrament of an utterly shitty day.
Did you know the Crash Test Dummies had more than one good song? I know, I didn't either. Go check out the Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead right now! I don't know the lyrics but I sing it loud AF anyways just making up words. You should try it out. It's fun, just singing a song you don't know the words to at the top of our lungs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLt60MUv7AU

A musical tribute to the legendary Chicago artist Wesley Willis. We should all be so fortunate as to spend our lives at a Rock N Roll McDonald's, whupping Batman's ass, and bashing the shit out of Jar Jar Binks for being the Evil Asshole that he is. Editors Note: Upon further reflection and after viewing the Disney Postquels and seeing Princess Leia Balloon I must say Jar Jar Binks looks like fucking Boba Fett this days! Long live Jar Jar Binks because atleast he's not a fucking Disney princess like Kylo Ren!
Hakuna Matata to all as we celebrate another Gibberish Church with a look back at the musical career and controversial art of the ever-infamous Ye.
There are a lot of "Never Forget" moments in World History. Some of them more important than others. However, no matter how insignificant or trivial it seems, we must #neverforget that once, in the year 2010 AD, the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time and star of the 1996 Classic Film Space Jam, the one and only Michael Jordan, yes THAT Michael Jordan, recorded a Hanes television commercial that aired nationwide. Nation-fucking-wide. And in that commercial Michael Jordan pulled off something no man has done since the 1940s and honestly, probably never done without some degree of controversy...but none the less, in 2010, Michael Jordan had a Hitler mustache in a nationwide underwear commercial. A fucking Hitler mustache. Michael Jordan recorded a NATIONAL UNDERWEAR commercial sporting a Hitler mustache and no one, I repeat, NO ONE said a word! #neverforget
For the record there are not enough Trekkies at Comic Cons anymore. We need our Trekkies back and not that first generation campy Kirk & Spock shit- we need Captain Picard and Data and La Forge and Worf! We need a Next Generation revolution to take over Comic Cons and wash away all the existential dread of the over-capitalized Marvel Universe and honestly, enough with the fucking anime already! We get it! We all like tentacle porn, but tentacle porn can't hold a candle to the genius of Gene Roddenberry!
Today's episode is dedicated to the corpse of Pope Formosus. Never has there been such a journey for a corpse. In the year 897, in which five different Popes all served tenure, the middle Pope Formosus had passed away and was laid to rest. Thus, begins a long and strange trip for the Corpse of this Holy Man. Laid to rest with all the pomp and circumstance of the Leader of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the Corpse of Formosus would be dug up after only resting a few weeks and put on trial by a political opponent, Pope Steven IV, who had ascended to the Papacy himself at this point. The Corpse of Pope Formosus was then dressed in royal robes and presented to the court where it presumably swore an oath and most definitely was the subject of rigorous questioning by Pope Steven himself. After the Corpse was found summarily guilty of all charges, Pope Steven, himself, cut off 3 fingers of the hand of said Corpse of former Pope Formosus. Then the Corpse was stripped of it's Papacy, Exiled and thrown into a river. After washing ashore, former followers of the actual Pope Formosus and not just his corpse would go down to the riverside and touch the Corpse of Pope Formosus and hopefully receive blessings from it. With the trial of the Corpse of Formosus causing quite a stir, the people revolted and overthrew Pope Steven IV and the next Pope wanting to appease the supporters of the Actual Pope Formosus (not the Corpse) then reinstated his papacy, picked the body up from the river, dressed it back in royal robes, and gave it a proper burial befitting a Pope. Rest assured when the Corpse of former Pope Formosus returned to the graveyard, boy did he has a story to tell the other corpses. As a result of this trial to this day the Catholic Church has a standing rule to not prosecute dead corpses.

Sponsored by the ancient Greek philosopher and inventor of Cynicism, Diogenes who ultimately would be unimpressed by this episode. May we all be so lucky as to achieve a state of full-on Diogenesis in our lives. And if you ever need help finding your inner nihilist, might I suggest an anime convention?
Recorded in support of the paradoxical force of Entropy. Much like Vishnu before it, our wonderful friend Entropy serves as creator and destroyer of all things and unfortunately is the reason we will never have a perpetual motion machine. Cheers to you Entropy. Cheers to you.
Recorded in protest of the Gregorian Calendar and it's oppressive and exploitative nature and in support of the legendary Eastman Kodak and his International Fixed Calendar. Fuck Fair Trade- let's bring back Fair Time!
