My One and Only Pick-Up Line About The Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) That I Have Due To Being Slutty In My Gay Youth: "The Catch of the Day!"

I have HIV*, Herpes** and HPV*** and, so, I
guess that makes me "The Catch of the Day,"
depending upon what you might catch! LOL

My One And Only Pick-Up Line About The Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) That I Have Due To Being Slutty In My Gay Youth: I have HIV, Herpes and also HPV, so I guess that means that I am the 'Catch of the Day' depending upon what you might catch! LOL –Paul Whiting (written April 22nd, 2012 and revised October 6th, 2022)

My Philosophical Notes:

The reason that I wrote this 'joke' can be summed up with the following statement: To say that I was "just a little bit slutty" in my gay youth—which was from about my early twenties to my early thirties—would be an understatement to the same degree of saying that the world-famous American pianist, singer, and actor Liberace was "just a little bit flamboyant!"

So, contained within the 'sexual promiscuity' of my gay youth—with literally hundreds, if not thousands, of gay men—over multiple years, and through multiple sexual encounters, I contracted multiple sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that are too numerous to mention, but which include Herpes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV)—for which I am currently receiving medical treatment!

And thus, I stopped being 'sexually promiscuous' once I contracted HIV (and later on, I found out that I also had Herpes and HPV), so that I would not spread the STDs.

Therefore, the 'joke,' so to speak, is that my one and only pick up line is: "I am 'the catch of the day' depending upon what you might catch!"

And this 'joke' was only published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog.

This 'joke' was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 109: My Haiku-Style Poem About The Joyous Solitude

Totally Alone
(Or, "The Joyous Solitude")

Totally alone!
I can finally be "me."
Totally alone!

My Writing About Not Being Alone: You are not alone—you are lonely for your own good company! You have never been without good company: you are always there... –Paul Whiting (written March 23rd, 2015, revised November 20th, 2015, revised October 18th, 2021, revised May 18th, 2022, revised May 19th, 2022, revised September 18th, 2022 and revised September 20th, 2022)

My Writing About Feeling Lonely: If you are feeling lonely—like I feel lonely sometimes—you are lonely for your own good companionship. –Paul Whiting (written June 7th, 2016, revised May 18th, 2022, revised May 19th, 2022, revised September 18th, 2022 and revised September 20th, 2022)

My Writing About Feeling Alone In A Crowd: "Alone in a crowd" describes how it feels for you to be surrounded by others, but still feel lonely, since you are not alone in a crowd... For, not feeling like you have a good relationship with yourself makes the crowd feel like it's solitude, rather than the crowd feeling like it's companionship. –Paul Whiting (written May 19th, 2022 and revised September 20th, 2022)

My Philosophical Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem to explain how being by yourself, or being Totally Alone, feels as if it is "Totally Heaven" when, in fact, in the beginning of the whole process of life—which is your existence as a God and/or a Goddess who is Literally Nothing—it feels as if being by yourself, or being Totally Alone, is "Totally Hell."

You see, when you begin as Literally Nothing, which is how we all are as Gods and/or Goddesses, it is really difficult being the only soul, or the only consciousness, in your reality—since you are Literally Nothing in its natural, potential state—which is how we are all born as Gods and/or Goddesses.

Therefore, as a God and/or a Goddess, who is the consciousness, or the Self-Awareness, of Literally Nothing, you design "Fantasy Realities" out of your consciousness, or you soul, which are Universes, in order to experience yourself as not being "Totally Alone!"

So, being Totally Alone as a God and/or a Goddess is how we are naturally born, since we are Literally Nothing that has consciousness, which is the main reason that it is extremely difficult to be a God and/or a Goddess, because We Are Literally Nothing That Is Self-Aware, so we are born lonely!

Thus, you design these Fantasy Reality Universes, out of your consciousness as a God and/or a Goddess (whose souls is Literally Light), in which it appears as if you are totally surrounded by more souls than you can possibly count! And the appearance of that many souls in your actual reality is simply a really cleverly designed fantasy reality.

In fact, it appears as if there are so many other souls (more souls than you can possibly count) that being surrounded, so to speak, by that many souls can be distressing, at times, because you can grow quite weary from having to deal with that many souls! And, again, the appearance of that many souls in your actual reality is simply a really cleverly designed fantasy reality.

And, in the end of this whole process of life—which is your existence as a God and/or a Goddess who is Literally Nothing—you are so totally overwhelmed by being in the constant company of so many other souls (so that you cannot even count them all) that you, finally, "just want to get away from it all" in order to "escape the crowds" so that—at long last—you can just be "you!"

That is why Universes Are Literally Fantasy Realities, created out of Literally Nothing, which are carefully engineered to make it feel as if being Totally Alone is not, in fact, "Totally Hell," but it is, in fact, "Totally Heaven!"

"Poetry is using the fewest words possible in order to describe all that is possible to describe." –Paul Whiting [June 1st, 2022]

My poems that are Haiku in their style—within which one stanza is composed of three lines, where each line has words containing five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables, respectively—are a lot more like Senryū poems in that the topic of these poems is typically about people, rather than the topic of these poems being about nature, as is usually the case in classic Haiku poems. And that is why I call these types of poems "Haiku-style." –Paul Whiting [September 19th, 2023]

Post No. 108: My Theory on Homo sapiens' Sexual Structure

(Image from Queerty)

The following is My Theory on Homo sapiens' Sexual Structure, since I think that our species is a homosexual species because, if we were not 'Self-Loving' enough, we would never put enough effort into surviving! So, that is why I think that Homo sapiens are all homosexuals:

"Planet of the 'Chimp Pansies'!"

I think that Homo sapiens are a planet of "chimp pansies," so to speak. In other words, we are a homosexual species, or a "Self-Loving Species!"

And the reason that we are a homosexual, or a "Self-Loving Species," has to do with our ability to be narcissistic enough, or "Self-Directed" enough, in order to survive!

Because, if we were not "Self-Loving" enough, or, "Self-Directed" enough, we would never put enough effort into surviving! So, that is why I think that Homo sapiens are all homosexuals.

Post No. 106: "Everything Is Connected, But..."

(Image from Science Wiki)

"Everything Is Connected, But..."

Everything
is
connected,
but
it
appears
separate.

For,
everything
is
literally
connected
because
it
all
comes
from
one
thing,
which
is
Literally
Nothing,
that
is
differentiated.

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem to illustrate the concept that everything is literally connected because it all comes from one thing, which is Literally Nothing, that is differentiated.
