MY GIRL GRIMES DOING HER THING
CRYSTAL BALL-GRIMES
—
I am very much alive. I am a creative, loving and conscious being.
I can feel the energy of other people, and always try to neutralize the energy in the room.
I can feel the universe when it pulls my strings, guiding me in this direction or that.
I will always listen.
I will always trust.
I will never be anything less than what I am right now, because right now, my soul is burning with a radiant light that nobody can extinguish.

Last night I had a dream that I was the leader of a rebel tribe of people. I was giving a speech to my followers about preparing for the spiritual journey that the whole tribe would embark on in that evening. Then I saw him, I couldn’t see his face but I could feel his energy radiating. A perfect being with perfect energy. He constantly makes appearances in my dreams so his energy was familiar to me. I wonder if he has the same dreams and our souls are uniting in the dream realm.
Interpretation from DreamMoods.com:
Tree:
To see lush green trees in your dream symbolize new hopes, growth, desires, knowledge, and life. It also implies strength, protection and stability. You are concentrating on your own self-development and individuation.
To dream that you are climbing a tree signifies achievement of your career goals and attainment of higher positions in life.
The dream may also mean satisfaction with your current situation.
Leader:
To dream that you are a leader represents your ability to assert your ideas and/or offer guidance to others. The dream may also be telling you that you are being too passive and need to take a more active role in a situation. Take control over your life and behavior.
Being outside in nature:
To dream that you are outside represents freedom, openness and opportunities. You are able to spread out and enjoy. Alternatively, the dream signifies your need to be more expressive. It is telling you that you need to stop closing yourself off.

One of the most important survival skills you will ever learn is how to properly administer first aid.
Suturing Supplies
Once you have decided to suture a wound, specific criteria must be met in terms of the actual supplies. Ideally, your medical kit will include a suturing kit stocked with all the correct items you will need. However, you should know what pieces are absolute necessities to ensure you have them well stocked and on hand.
- Clean water
- Betadine
- Needle Driver
- Irrigating Syringe
- Suture material
- Gloves
Cleaning the Wound
In every instance of dealing with a skin lacerations, cleaning the wound is the first and most critical step. If the wound is not cleaned, infection will undoubtedly set in, causing more severe complications. In most cases, simple, clean water should be used. Although often referred to, saline is not necessary to clean a wound. As long as the water is clean and pure, it will be fine. Occasionally, a wound will show evidence of debris. If that is the case, diluted Betadine must be used to clean the wound. Pour a small amount of water into a clean cup or bowl and add several drops of Betadine until it looks similar to weak tea. This will be the perfect diluted amount to irrigate with. Once the cleaning solution is determined (either water or diluted Betadine), fill the irrigating syringe and cleanse directly into the wound. Not only will this allow for less wasted water, but the syringe offers more direct cleansing to knock out any unwanted elements.
Beginning the Process
Once bleeding has been stopped or slowed, and the wound has been cleaned, suturing can begin. It is imperative you keep the injured area as clean and sterile as possible before, during, and after. Although that is often difficult in survival situations, it will go a long way in minimizing the risk of infection. One way to accomplish this is to wear sterile gloves and to have all materials cleaned, prepared, and ready to go before you begin the procedure. This will reduce the amount of time you will actually be handling the wound. Orient the wound so that it is parallel to your body to also allow you to work quicker.
Although it may seem like a large amount of information, suturing a wound can be a simple process, particularly if you have practiced for it. Just remember these key basic steps:
- Observe the wound and determine the best way to close it.
- Put gloves on to minimize potential infection.
- Clean and irrigate the wound, removing any foreign matter or debris.
- Thread the curved needle, or open your suture kit and grasp the needle with your needle driver.
- Start at the center of the laceration and work outwards.
- Leave approximately 1/8 an inch between each stitch.
- Bandage the wound to minimize later infection.

Sulking drained the fall of my pale will
Swarming by your steps
Licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts
It only meant to drape a plastic
Over the stuck pig scalp of head
To cover the sock where to flatline had spread
The kiosk in my temporal lobe
Is shaped like Rasalyn Carter
She says my map is home again, But torn face down
I have only but a million blemishes
To tell you all about
Tetragrammaton- The mars volta

in a perfect world

it seems as if we were in a different place in time. a different dimension solely created for us.
maybe it was only in our minds.
but it was more real than anything i’ve ever experienced.
yet still so hazy.
