Business Journal 3 coming up soon…finally here!
2/14/2022
Who would like to see a payout from my publisher? He he. I sell books here and there but I would not say that I am a best-seller. I’ve also decided to share a track that is on my Studies page that I can only call “To Be Continued…” It’s a recording that says a lot about me and if the recording moves me forward as a person, I usually don’t mind posting it because it’s pretty much a journal entry anyways.

Sorry to do this (beat a dead horse) but I must journal my thoughts. Does anyone really believe there is a difference between inside and outside through a mask? I am not asking anyone to change; these are just my thoughts and feelings. Hear me out, COVID-19 is a biological contaminant. It’s a virus and viruses are passed from people to people, animals to people, and people to animals etc. It is not a chemical contaminant. A chemical contaminant is a molecule such as oxygen, or hydrogen, or uranium and a molecule can still harm you though it comes from the elements. A chemical contaminant can be contained by the idea of inside and outside through a seal. Now, you can seal off food or an area to prevent chemical or biological contaminants from developing but can you really seal off an area that is being actively used for respiration in response to a biological contaminant through the idea of inside and outside? No you cannot. You can only use a filter to filter out a biological contaminant through judgement. You can say that inside vs. outside is my judgement call as a state official but that is not always a real answer (logically). Logically, some people might get confused by the request because it appears pathological to me from time to time. That’s it. Mask mandates appear a little pathological to me sometimes, they do not appear logical, because it’s not a chemical contaminant: it’s a biological contaminant which means it comes from other people therefore you can only use good judgement; you cannot just use the idea of inside vs. outside through a mask. Biologically, I still need to breath air with or without a filter on my face. I did not say I was right or wrong; I am just speaking out and that’s just my schpeel. Important keys words are being omitted from the daily response to COVID-19 such as filter vs. seal, biological vs chemical, virus vs. molecule. I think I’m right. Public mistruth can only spell one thing, usually, that is (Propaganda).

Notes on the Post Scheduled for April 25, 2022 at around 5:45pm.
I’ve decided to post something a little grimmer than I usually post but I thought it should be said, eventually. I also promised new poetry earlier that I haven’t posted yet (so I will, eventually also). I’ve been doing research into public mistruth through the five senses and I did not want poetry to interfere: they are just funny phrases and doodles but they say a little bit through Psychology.
On a similar note; women, never allow yourselves, again, to slip into a state of illiteracy: you’ll just rile up Prince Hamlet through Shakespeare. The psychology in that play is still not ancient history. And as for 18th century literature, I will be giving Herman Mellville a closer look before I publish anything that is already in the public domain for future aberrant figures to come. The prose is stunning though I cannot help but feel it is misleading due to its homoerotic under-tones. Are you sure, O Reader, these stories represent Truth? I’m not; and that’s what I think for now.
4/12/2022
I’ve decided to move up the date from the 25th to today for the previous post. It is just a personal-account of something unpleasant that happened to me that, to this day, I wished hadn’t happened though it turned out not to be the worst day of my life. To gloat, however, even in private as I try to do, is comical because I had to call law enforcement to provide security after the altercation had ended.

Dialogue between Man/Woman & Oedipus Rex, a micro-script on psycho-analysis
Oedipus Rex: Only in my mother’s eyes can I see the world as it could have been–and I see my mother in you: I have an Oedipus Complex.
Man/Woman: On this topic, however, your mother let’s you win a name-calling contest, my friend. I would not invent an insult from here, Oedipus Rex. If you can’t administer an insult, I wouldn’t do it. Because I’m not your mother in a name-calling contest over history. I’m just a man/woman who doesn’t see the same thing in you as your parents did when you were still forming in their loving embrace.

The page, “The Whereabouts of Brandon Lund,” will be popping up any day now. It’s just a collection of thoughtful URLs, which means that I had the time to name the pictures before I uploaded them, and they tell a pretty good story as to my whereabouts. Also, I will be promoting “The Time Testing Tale Told,” and “The Sepulture’s Destruction,” around the holidays for free so keep an eye out for the pages when they show up.
Also know this, if there is “no shrapnel or rifling,” involved then there is nothing you can’t handle with a bike helmet and a Kubaton. Rifling and shrapnel are problems for cops, criminals, and soldiers to figure out. Why not let them do the fighting? Hopefully we’re all hanging in there with our best lives. Is that too much to say? I often say this to myself, I just say it in a way so that you, O reader, can hear it. If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound? Yes it does, so you should probably put something on to protect your head because rocks and trees fall according to the laws of nature. But rifling and shrapnel do not come for nature, they come from man. So think twice and be careful with anything that is rifled or sharpened. Those are consequences administered by your fellow man. So I think we’re all pretty safe in that regard. Hopefully, that’s not too much to say. Just beware of goons and road thieves. Falling rocks and trees are still enough reason to wear a bike helmet around town.

Dialogue between the Image on the Wall and A Person Standing in the Shade (or Psychology on the topic of Nothing)
Shadow: Through shadow on shadow, I come from all parts of the globe through Name-Calling.
Everyman: If you come from all parts of the globe through Name-Calling that doesn’t involve my name, I’m going to light you up in the streets.

I was feeling a little chit-chatting and JPEG-y so I thought I’d update here as well. I also updated two pages today and made a few scheduling choices for later in the year. I will be promoting “The Sepulture’s Destruction!” in October of this year and “The Time Testing Tale Told,” in December of this year 2022. I wanted to share the books for free around the holidays (Halloween through Christmas).
I also added new photographs to “The Whereabouts of Brandon Lund.” They are the Victory Center photos and the Seabright light house. I decided to brave those rocks to get that picture but if you think I went out there without a climbing helmet on you better think again. Those pictures were taken with safety first in mind. I haven’t decided yet if I want to keep this page permanent, “The Whereabouts of Brandon Lund,” or just use it around the summer. I might; it says a little bit about me that the other pages don’t say. If submerged, keep your fins kicking–
Stay high and dry with the changing tides of the sea.

When I got published with Rosedog Books in April of 2019, they invited me to take a picture of myself opening a package with copies of my new book “Observations, Book, Essay, and Material From Various Works,” inside and share it with the publisher. They also asked that I include friends and family in the picture. I thought here in my business journal I’d introduce my newborn son to the world through the industry contacts that I have. Friends in the industry is usually a term used by those who do business together through a contract of some kind. From my family to yours, I would like to say hello to everyone who enjoys literature and music and current events.
Sincerely,
Brandon and Graham Lund

I thought this post would be interesting and perhaps difficult to admit. What’s the character flaw that perhaps defines me as a person as I endevour to expose public mistruth in what is an attempt by me to avoid telling the public lie, myself, of having “One True Enemy?” Ideology. I think I come off as a little ideological. To be continued. The higher calling of this journal is just to tell the story of history through Separation of Church and State. Ideology sometimes means that a higher power is on my side in a fight or struggle but the higher calling of the afore mentioned ideal is still the one that is always right.

This passage is something I’ve been wanting to get around to and I figured out what I want to say regarding my beliefs:
Praise God because God is on everyone’s side or God is on no one’s side; I am always on God’s side but God is never on my side. I am on His side.
That, however, is a devotional tone and I’ve been deliberately avoiding a devotional tone here on my website for a bunch of reasons. One of which is I don’t want to spread around a bunch of misinformation. I would like to get back around to a general-sociable tone here in my journal which means, Brandon, myself, just believes in a Benevolent God through World Religion. In general, I think that says a lot.

I added two new tracks to the sidebar: “The Militia Man,” and “Matter of the Mind.” They could be thought of as peaceful protest or anti-war tracks. The gist is that it is the way that you look at common place ideas that determines what they are such as the inverse of a backpack as body armor or two enemies locked in battle who are on the same side. Just remember, O reader, I babble now a little bit online because I can prove certain things exist that bother me such as propaganda that I cannot prove through legal precedent. Peaceful protest will sometimes amount to an idea produced through legal proceedings…now feel free to laugh. (wink, wink).

(…)basically, all I’m saying, is that I figured out the idea behind Social Studies, that often over-looked subject in high school rebranded as Social Science in upper division college courses. That the United States government lies to the people and the lies are as big as Babylon. I see lies now just about everywhere and they are not just on T.V. or on the radio. For instances, I mentioned John Bunyan in an earlier post here on my Business Journal as perhaps having had to compete with what looked like a clandestine motive. However, linguistically speaking, after having read Pilgrim’s Progress a little further I realized that John Bunyan is “One Big Lie,” (linguistically, not scientifically through the law) because John Bunyan believes God is on his side in a fight as a Christian instead of perhaps He is on God’s side (which is where I got the idea myself for my earlier posts). Obviously, I could have a clandestine role through this website also. You never know, do you? “One Big Lie,” or “One True Enemy,” are lies I believe I am prone to while observing myself through Social Science or Social Studies. Shakespeare lies about women through Psychology. John Milton lies about Theology through Epic Poetry. Geeze, these are giants in my field and I no longer believe I know who these people are. I just see agents of warfare and I see them EVERYWHERE. EVERYWHERE. But through Social Science or Social Studies, NOT through legal proceedings. People ask me illogical questions now everyday and I think it is all pretty unusual. In my heart (to myself) from time to time I must ask, “Are you a spy for the State Department, when you act this way?” Propaganda campaigns can be decades long, people, so be as smart as possible. I’ve diagnosed my problems, again, through social science and twenty to thirty years is an okay amount of time for me to protest peacefully through a bike helmet and kubaton. I kind of mentioned something about myself there didn’t I? That I believe I am surrounded by spies for the state department or shall I say, he, he (domestic terrorists). People say stuff to me now everyday that I’m supposed to assume is normal or agreed upon. It’s not illegal but it’s not normal either. That’s my day now. My goal for this website is twenty-five years online. Thanks for reading: I’ll see you in the next passage, my fellow man.

I have a new post scheduled for November. Later on, I would like to say something regarding collectibles as well. I’ve almost finished selling the prints I made for the Alternative Press Expo of “The Time Testing Tale Told,” over ten years ago. I would like them to be considered collectibles someday because I valued that print highly by either selling copies or placing them well in the public-eye. Now, keep it real for November, Pop-Eye!

Perfect Punches: A Theory of Power in the Eyes of a Scoop
“What does chocolate say to vanilla that it doesn’t say to strawberry? Nothing, they are all basic flavors of desert. Now, my friend, how long have you been combining these 3 flavors without asking yourself what they stand for perhaps, even, what they can do? Do YOU believe I THINK one of you is any different than the other in the eyes of a scoop?”
More details to come regarding important moves and humor that is framed in the future tense. Also (sigh) I moved to the mid-west.
12/11/2022
When I’m ready to post I post (impulsive tone implied). As you can see, I’ve changed my website’s appearance, I had to clean up some code. I’ve also been doing research into Greek Mythology, World Literature, and a few curiosities of modern science that I am approaching logically through insight gained from summarized text instead of innovation or experiment. Enjoy the following verse:
Toy Switch or To Slay Medusa with a Flashlight and a String
Of all the great ploys that stand to modern height,
Of all the ancient lessons learned of wrong and right:
Just as Medusa’s eyes were perhaps white noise destroyed by a shield bright!
Or a Kraken dies when empowered with sight:
Submarines and dolphins work best in blackest night!
So good luck finding me by candlelight!

Really cool new addition to my Venue page. The poster for P-Box, my feature length film which won an award on Film Freeway for Best First-Time Film-maker at the Austin International Art Festival. Click the poster and you can watch the entire film, free! You will not find the film anywhere else in its entirety. Aside from that, I just wanted to share the graphic I use to promote my film, here, on my website.

“I Had…Divine Coordinates Planned…And You Ruined Them!” (An Exposé by Brandon Lund)
This is something that I’ve wanted to say and I feel that the proofs that I have are evidence enough through linguistics and social studies to continue. When I was in college studying literature I would from time to time come across a question that is taken semi-lightly in universities but still discussed: Who is Shakespeare? A pre-ponderous question to ask because “Who is Shakespeare” is a Conspiracy Theory or fake science but it is fascinating (like most conspiracy theories) because they are fun to think about. Many years later however I thought about this question differently and the answer that I have come up with is not conspiracy theory because it can be explained through ideas such as linguistics and social science: “What is Shakespeare?” This question is a better question because it does not lionize an artist, it reveals something about the world that is plausible, or perhaps on-going through many different cultures and many different kinds of people. Well then, what is the answer? Shakespeare is a criminal-profiler. Or someone insightful at sharing bad ideas (deception) and they are often times government. Enough said. Again, there are no consequences to the things I say online, no towers will fall, it is just my point of view. I like to keep it fun also, here are my proofs:
Reflecting on the Five Senses, A Dialogue Between Classic Works of Literature
Juliet: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Everyman: Blue is blue, red is red; it is just the way that I see it.
Juliet: Blue is not blue, red is not red.
Everyman: If I should change my mind in the future,
And there are no consequences, then isn’t it just the way that I see it?
Are you an insurgent? That’s fake urgency from a dictator. I’m allowed
To make up my mind, but only in the future.

Quick update since I am all caught up with my son Graham and getting settled here in the mid-west. Keep an eye out for a new article on local zoos here in Omaha that should be interesting since they’re awesome and also talk, that is all, just talk, of a first print for The Sepulture’s Destruction! It could be a few more years before I tackle a new/first print for my second issue. It has not gone to print yet so (consider that for a someday purchase, if only in your mind); it should be amazing to see the first print for the book (again just talk of what’s to come someday).
6/17/2023
New posting coming up Fourth of July of this year 2023, a zoo article. Omaha has an exotic, beautiful zoo that I was not aware of until I moved here; now, I will have you on my website.
couplets on size, an observation of the future in verse
To roast small potatoes with size
Is to command and control with but only little guys–
When you find problems that you can let go of, then let them be,
(Because no one is assailed by the future more than me!)
That to me is what I know is always, ever real
Because all I ever know of the future is how I feel;
And that is it,
Size in the future, instead of certainly in Truth, is my only limit!
Increase your wealth
but always remember mind body and health:
Get things you need to have on your hook
But don’t forget to write your great book.
What if all the world gave you a nod
For what you have instead of what you have on your rod?
That one big one makes the others look small
But all the small ones together still may amount to your hall!
When I finally get all the things I want
I still push the book I wrote to the front
So that, someday, when solving problems is key
The answer I have for them all is, why, only me!

Lightening fast update! I have to get things posted while I have a minute today. Just posted a new passage in “Studies.” It is a piece on the Justice League, by me, as a curator. Got to go now, I have only seconds, and I’m gone, in a Flash!

Journal Cartoon #1: When regular milk and almond milk fought.
What did almond milk say to regular milk that was just crazy enough to be possible, scientifically?
“I can take you now; because I’m psycho.”
To which, regular milk replied: “Watch your mouth with me psycho-milk.”

…I have a couple more of these from a smaller journal I have tucked away.

Caught myself, red-handed! It is book promotion season and “The Sepulture’s Destruction!” is available to read for the holidays. The page is “book promotion,” and you can read it till December 1st, in its entirety, for free! I have also posted a JPEG of my future comic book/print on the index page: “Ghost town!”

I posted “Song 18,” to Letters of Home on my sheet music page. Around measure 41, I wrote down something I didn’t think I could figure out. The song is one I have posted here online for nearly 2 years, “Troublesome Notes on Love,” but the sheet music has always been the lead sheet on my “Studies,” page. The piece I posted on “Sheet Music,” is the composition piece to the song (instead of just a guide for performance as is the case with lead sheets). Anyways, if interested, the piece is very nice and I am proud of it.
Quick joke, what did red and blue say to the square and triangle? On and off, I can fix anything!

Vocabulary Thought Bubble: A dialogue between 2 girls on the film “Point Break,” (or how good am I, Brandon Lund, at fighting espionage?)
Girl 1: Do you want to try and figure out the film Point Break?
Girl 2: Why, because it is a cult classic?
Girl 1: It is but that’s not what I’m talking about.
Girl 2: Do you mean to say, “A real bozo spread fairy dust.”
Girl 1: Yes! Now we’ll need another 30 minutes to figure each other out.
12/3/2023
Updates for the holiday: “The Sepulture’s Destruction!” is no longer available to read for free and “The Time Testing Tale Told,” is available to read for free until December 31st under the page “Book Promotion 1.” Also, I added a new section to Theater/Sheet Music called “Covered Pages.” The manuscripts that were posted are very nice and comprehensive (they also have covers on them, hence, covered pages). I have used these poems, articles, and songs regularly over the years and I am moving forward with newer material that is intended to get me through the next few years online; so, I thought a manuscript section would be a nice way to promote the website.

Safe Passage, here, online
Who has ever found peace of mind by turning a mathematical noise (frequency) into a psychological noise (white noise) using squares, triangles, and a logarithm? There is a lot of static noise in any home or environment that can be grouped together with a signal–ah-hem, did I just say that? Qualitative science is fascinating, and I like a good psychological journey through the five senses as long as it is just an idea and not a trick…I did not just say that, did I? Figure it out yourself.

Observations Online, A Newsworthy Response
Have a look at this interesting, newsworthy response on Facebook. Recently I have been getting caught up with classic literature and today I was getting through a little bit of Virgil’s poetry that was translated by John Dryden. I usually am pretty critical of most of what I read, and I see things through a universal mistrust as is particularly the case with Latin poetry. But if you read it scientifically alongside any other poetry you can still see the self-expression involved and omit some of the misinformation that is there, perhaps, to likely promote a polytheistic god (it is, however, truly just what I think). When I get a little tired, I like to thumb through E-Bay for comic books I can’t afford and maybe indulge in a little humor on Facebook. I funny picture from the Red Hot Chili Peppers came up in my feed from a Grunge Rock group that was posting pictures, so I thought I’d take a stab and say, “If you sprinkled a little fairy dust on them, they’d look like the fauns of the wood.” And, have a look, Anthony Kiedis liked the comment (I’m pretty sure that’s the singer). Anyway, I thought it was newsworthy, so I decided to post it here because I have been having a lot of fun tracking down motives from Roman culture and a little fauns goes a long way in rock history.

Okay, here we go…Dadadada! I have added a new hyperlink to covered pages. This manuscript is near and dear because it is a piece that I started in college and returned to with lackluster and passion here and there. My novel. I posted the word count draft instead of the publication draft because it is a component of my website and, right now, a draft that is for reading instead of collecting or enterprise is more suitable for me here online. Prose to me, must still be figured out and it took me about 90 pages to figure out my prose (over 15 years) and then another 2 or 3 years to finish a book that I didn’t know I could write. Prose is a way of choosing words and it is, to me, poetry in reverse. It does however fall into my category of “covered pages,” so I wanted to post it, eventually, because it is something I understand but I am not producing, it is something that I am using to manage my life, so, I felt I should post it. Life is good right now with print production and music but poetry and prose are the occupation of my life so I sometimes deferred to the great writers and poets to carry the torch while I am consumed with making fine prints, writing music, and raising my son. I wouldn’t say that though if I didn’t have a book of poems somewhere that I could finish as long as it is safe and sober in a binder filled with cut-outs of books and torn pages that are getting old just sitting there.
