JMH Dull Productions: fresh thoughts
ON USE OF THE VERNACULAR IN FRESH THOUGHTS - There has been criticism of use of the vernacular in our "fresh thoughts." For a good portion of every day, we communicate and work with folks that use the vernacular. Fresh thoughts is an extension of that. - September 7, 2008
If use of the vernacular is insulting to you, we suggest that you skip this section of the website, and go to the more refined sections of the site. The vernacular , we believe, speaks to many of the folks that we are attempting to communicate with with our art. If you disagree, there are plenty of sections in this site that may speak more deeply to you. Tood-a-loo.
Thomas Edison and A.D.D. - September 5, 2008
If Thomas Edison was given Ritalin for his A.D.D., we may still be in the dark.
on race relations - September 4, 2008
A-holes come in all colors.

fresh thought - opinions - September 3, 2008
Opinions are like our butts. We all have them and they all stink.
Decisions based on information
are the tools of those who think.
WHAT IS GOING to HAPPEN - September 1, 2008
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
This is what is going to happen.
1. All spiritualities will unite into one spirituality. The catalyst that will enable this is the advent of neuro-scientific findings concerning the neuro-mechanisms of all spirituality.
2. Agape love will be found to be intrinsically part of all spirituality, and the neuro-mechanisms of agape love will be understood.
3. The above 2 developments will profoundly affect all human institutions – i.e. business, government, athletics, religions – ALL HUMAN INSTITUTIONS.
4. This is what is going to happen.
fresh thought - DNA evidence - September 1, 2008
If Jesus was the Son of God, and Mary was a virgin, what did Jesus' DNA look like?
comment:
For centuries we've been asking questions about the nature of Jesus and the great mystics. When the above question is asked, there are those that consider it sacriligeous and/or unnecessary.
The non-thinking populace would have us still believing that the sun revolves around the earth.
"Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened unto you."
18 hours to live - July 10, 2008
By design a person discovered that they had 18 hours to live and were unable to tell anyone about it.
Friends found it hard to understand why the person showed little interest in heated political conversations, in local gossip, or all of the very important discussions and projects that they wanted to engage their friend in.
So little seemed to matter to the person.
During the course of the 18 hours, our subject came upon another individual whose life was in imminent danger. Our protagonist dropped everything to save the individual in danger.
By design most of us have 18 more hours to live.
the mouth of the universe - July 9, 2008
Space travelers came upon a mouth. They realized that this, indeed, was the mouth of the entire universe. We discovered that the universe is a living being, and indeed, this was the mouth of the universe. It shared knowledge of itself.
We realized that if one were to listen to the utterances coming forth from this mouth, eventually in infinite time, one would discover all the secrets of the universe.
Gradually the mouth began to protrude more and more. It took on a head, and arms and legs, eyes, nose and ears and began to move about.
We are all traveling in space and are the mouths and eyes and ears of the universe. Cosmic dust does such things. Our cells are living beings. We are living beings.
love and pity - July 7, 2008
Pity is very different than love.
Empathy is closer to love.
We often mistake pity for empathy and vice versa.
road rage and moving boulders - June 5, 2008
If we could imagine that traffic is just "moving boulders," we may be able quell our road rage.
Statistically, you will, from time to time, experience erratic moving boulders while driving, that you must avoid.
If those moving boulders pose a significant threat to you or someone else, call the folks you've hired with your taxes to take care of such things.
ON INTIMACY - June 1, 2008
It occurs to me that, like most human activity, physical intimacy could be placed on a scale from “0” to “10”
*********
Rape and incest would, of course, be on the “0” end of the spectrum.
*****************
Allow me to share thoughts on a “10”:
Two virgins of the opposite sex who are loved and respected by their community meet and are highly attracted to one another. They fall in love. After some time, they make a lifelong commitment to one another and share total intimacy. They completely physically, mentally, and, for lack of a better word, spiritually unite at orgasm.
************
They participate unprotected with the knowledge that they may conceive a new life and are eager to do so because of their love for one another.
*****
All their past, future and present unites in one moment. All bodily organs are functioning for the purpose that nature evolved them. No holes barred. The experience is total.
*******************************
Most of our attempts at intimacy fall somewhere between the "0" and "10" ends of the spectrum.
*******************************
Here’s an example:
2 consenting adults who have lifelong commitments to other parties meet secretly in a motel to share an evening of all out sex. They have no particular commitment to the sexual partner of the moment. They use one another for gratification of need. Is this a “5“ or below?
*********************************
As we get closer to zero, there is more inherent violence in the act.
*************
When we deny the personhood of another, we are displaying violence toward them. We lie about their full personhood to them, and this is abuse, whether it be verbal or tactile. Personhood contains past, present and future.
*************
The deep subconscious desire of a person is to approach a “10” in intimacy with someone. I doubt if I’ve ever met anyone who has been there. They’d probably be dead.

PRETTY - May 15, 2008
There's a pretty little house,
On a pretty little street,
In a pretty little town.
It's all so very neat.
In this pretty little world,
Like a cookie-cutter toy,
Live a pretty little girl,
And a pretty little boy.
In their pretty empty heads,
Pretty full of empty dreams,
It's all so very peachy,
Pretty much, it pretty seems,
While a pretty hungry boy,
and a very sickly girl,
Are pretty full of worms
in a not-so-distant world
PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY
It' all so very obvious,
And pretty plain to see,
There's something out of balance - universally.
Isn't it quite evident,
There's something pretty wrong,
And there's something very ugly,
All about this pretty song.
SHOCKING!!! ENDING to this SONG CONTINUES ON JMH DULL PRODUCTION'S NEWEST CD RELEASE, "OUT of BALANCE" - coming in June. Click on "our store" and "calendar" (upper left) for details
fresh thought - IF I WAS AN HERMAPHRODITE - May 14, 2008
If I was an hermaphrodite
Would you quite know how to take me?
Would you try to make me into you?
Declare which organs I could use?
Would you tell me how it is I feel?
Who are we? - the hypocrites
Who sit and ponder every day,
Telling others how to shit
And authorizing all the ways
We deal with love.
If I was an hermaphrodite
Would you quite know how to take me?
Would you try to make me into you?
Declare which organs I could use?
Would you tell me how it is I feel?
DISCIPLINE - April 15, 2008
Was Ghandi a Christian?
Was Theresa of Calcutta a Buddhist?
*********
Every religion has its saints.
********
They all discover the same truths.
************
By doing so, they enter and become the true hierarchy of their discipline.
fresh thought - the internet - SOURCE - April 14, 2008
The internet is creating a virtual country with the freest expression of free speech democracy. Like minds will eventually find one another on the internet.
**************
You may have more in common in your thought patterns with someone on the other side of the earth than with your neighbor next door.
***********
Why go to war against someone that you are in kindred spirit with?
***********
Some great unifier will draw folks to a common site.
**************
It's impossible to fight truth over time. Truth always finds its way into mainstream, although our mental density may prohibit it at first. Truth will eventually be the source on the internet. People everywhere search for truth. The earth revolves around the sun - now we know it, although at one time we thought otherwise.
***************
The truth is that all folks basically want and need the same things regardless of their place of birth.
****************
Put down your arms and unite.
***************
The earth revolves around the sun.
plastic bags - April 13, 2008
Plastic bags could be outlawed worldwide by 2015.
we all go to war - April 12, 2008
The human species has a history of rallying around great causes and going to war. War is an inherent part of the human condition. It is built into our genes.
The causes that we fight for are far from being the reason we fight. We fight because our nature tells us that that's the way to solve the problem. War is in our genes.
There are other ways to solve problems, but we have yet to reach the consciousness that makes them implementable when we face large scale confrontation.
The fact is, though, that if we fail to learn how to solve the problem of war, we will eventually blow ourselves into oblivion because we now have the power to do just that.
The fact that we have that power, means that someday, somewhere, somehow we will do it. Eternal non-implementation of atomic destruction is statistically very unlikely unless we figure ourselves out.
Unless we conquer war, it's in the cards that we will eventually annhilate our children.
This song was written to address this issue.
*****************
WE ALL GO TO WAR
We all work
and we all play
And we all pray we'll have our day
And most of us think it's o.k.
that we've been taught along the way -
We all go to war
We all spit.
We all piss and shit.
We all fart, and then we die.
We all love
and we all cry,
and lots of us keep wondering why,
We all go to war.
CHORUS
Oh, it may be for the I.R.A.,
or it may be for the Taliban.
It may be for us bloody Brits,
Kamakazee, Vietcong.
Somewhere deep inside is war,
and somewhere there we know it's wrong --
Somewhere deep inside a lonely song.
A trillion medals on girls and boys..
A trillion families lives destroyed..
The war of war will fill the void!!!
Step up proud and be deployed!!!
We all go to war.
CHORUS
Oh, it may be for the I.R.A.,
or it may be for the Taliban.
It may be for us bloody Brits,
Kamakazee, Vietcong.
Somewhere deep inside is war,
and somewhere there we know it's wrong --
Somewhere deep inside a lonely song.
A simple man climbs a great big hill.
He takes a stand - they're fighting still..
War on war..
"Refuse to kill."
Step up proud.
turn your cheek.
Our love's an act of will..
We all go to war.
