Anger is about the quiet, seething judgement of everyone and everything. You become the self-appointed arbiter of all that is right and wrong in the world and if people would only act the way you thought they should, life would be infinitely better.

It is worth recognizing that the Roswell event occurred one year after the Thelemic ritual in the Mojave Desert, as well as a huge increase in UFO sightings that continue to this day. The story of L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons’ Babalon Working illustrates that the nature of the UFO phenomenon is more profound than the majority living today realize.

Let me ask you this, what are you willing to let go that stands between you and happiness? The obvious stuff is easy, that anger you’ve been holding on to, that resentment. But what about the things you think are assets? That relationship you think you can’t live without, that job you think defines you, can you let go of that? Because, if you’re really serious about getting happy, you might be forced to let it all go, to know you can be okay without it. Because you’re the fish you’re trying to catch, you are the love of your life, you’re everything you’ve been searching for.

by August I was the number one person on Vine, overtaking Harry Styles with 3.5 million followers. And while Harry will always be an icon and have a lower BMI than me, I hope to one day bring this up to him as I gaze at his perfect bone structure whilst his security has me removed.

I’ve thought about him a lot throughout my life. Like pain for a phantom limb, absent fathers have a really cute way of invading your thoughts. Father’s Day? Not my favorite. Even those sneaky questions at the doctor’s office. Father’s health history? Um, bad at commitment but with a formidable libido?

Let me ask you this, what are you willing to let go that stands between you and happiness? The obvious stuff is easy, that anger you’ve been holding on to, that resentment. But what about the things you think are assets? That relationship you think you can’t live without, that job you think defines you, can you let go of that? Because, if you’re really serious about getting happy, you might be forced to let it all go, to know you can be okay without it.

to eat the fruit from the Tree of Life after they fell, they would have been in an eternal state of death. They would have been comparable to the unredeemable Serpent who first tempted them into rebellion. They would have had no chance of redemption.

We also find Denver, Colorado, the home to the Denver Airport, which has many different sinister stories and claims attached to it involving all sorts of conspiracies and evil intent.

we can look back to the time of the 200 watchers to understand what is happening. In ancient times, the fallen angels presented themselves as gods. Today, they are presenting themselves as a superior race of alien beings from another planet. It is the same deception they have always promulgated. The only difference is the packaging.

Nothing good in life can be maintained without practice.

Wearing this magical tunic, I no longer resembled a gigantic muffin and now looked more like an overstuffed bag of bread. It wasn’t perfect, but it was better and I felt better. So I wore it, every day, for five years.

Wearing this magical tunic, I no longer resembled a gigantic muffin and now looked more like an overstuffed bag of bread. It wasn’t perfect, but it was better and I felt better. So I wore it, every day, for five years. I was wearing SPANX Men’s, a corset, on national television, at 290 pounds, in five million homes, every Sunday night.

Jews love to come together and share in the overall theme of Judaism, which is, “They tried to kill us, we lived, let’s eat.

she taught me the true meaning of family, that no matter what, family doesn’t leave. You could get in fights, you could be imperfect, you could even go to bed angry. It didn’t matter because family doesn’t leave; we could figure this out right now or a week from now but it doesn’t change the fact that I’ll be here when we do.

Throughout my life, television has been my best friend, my babysitter, my teacher, and, most importantly, my escape. I left it on to feel like someone was there, I fell asleep to it, so the room never got dark.

becoming an actor felt as close to physically jumping through the screen as I could get. I felt indebted to television, like working for the hospital that cured your cancer.

I was a walking TV Guide, I knew all the shows on every channel except for Home and Garden because we neither had a home nor a garden. When hipster friends of mine talk about getting rid of their cable subscription or even worse, their television, I think, Are you out of your Carhartt-wearing mind? What are you supposed to do with yourself?

And then I heard a voice. My father’s voice. Just kidding, that’d be ridiculous, I never even met the guy, how the fuck would I know what he sounded like?

God, I want to wrap this thing up for you in the most psychically reassuring bow right now. I’d love to send you off into the world with some new insight, some sense of purpose, that feeling of “Look out, world, not only do I READ BOOKS but also I WORK on myself!

The hard times are here to teach us, and the good times are to remind us what we’re fighting for.

Here’s the last thing I’ll say: follow me on Instagram. No. Here’s the last thing I’ll say: it wasn’t supposed to happen for me like this.

JOSH PECK is an actor, comedian, and I guess an author now. Podcasts, social media, speaking engagements blah blah blah.

Similarly, when Drake got into legal trouble, people ran to get my opinion. They thought I must have a take on this person I had spent so much time with, when in reality, it had been years since we’d talked and even longer since we’d seen each other. Which is why alongside everyone else who doesn’t know Drake, I was upset by the inexplicable events that unfolded in his life.

This perhaps could explain why over a decade after the show ended, the world went insane when I got married and didn’t invite Drake to my wedding. Now when I say insane I mean it in its most literal sense, in that people were “in a state of mind which prevents normal perception.” People couldn’t fathom that we’d only seen each other a handful of times since the show ended; they insisted that they had just seen us together,

Our names would become synonymous with each other forever. It’s a long life but there’s certainly a chance that Drake & Josh will be the most noteworthy thing either of us ever do.

Oh um, no thanks, I’ll pass on the schedule one narcotics.” Come on, Peck! You’ve been waiting for this moment your entire life and you answered like an undercover cop with Tourette’s?!

The speed at which the right circumstance presents itself tends to be quick when you’re ready to do bad things,

A warning to potential drug abusers near and far, past and present, current and in training. If when you ingest narcotics, you feel more like yourself than when you are sober, when the feeling is so comfortable that you can’t think of why you’d ever want to feel another way, you, my friend, are screwed. Drugs lifted the pain of existence so well that I mistook being high for being alive.

then there would be the whisper of an issue, the hint of trouble, and I would just bail. Better I leave you before you leave me, in fact, let me show you how good I am at leaving and how little I needed you at all. Usually this would leave the girl contemplating what went wrong. “He said he wanted Chinese, I said I was in the mood for Thai, and then he just left?” I just wasn’t capable of enduring the natural conflicts that arise when you’re in a relationship. They weren’t necessary growing pains for me, they were harbingers of more bad to come.

One day I was tooling around Facebook, using it for its intended purpose, to spy on people’s lives, not to spread disinformation, the way it is today,

We don’t always get the amends we deserve, but maybe we give it to ourselves when we put an end to the behavior.

When you’re angry, everything is personal and nothing is random.

But if physics is right and every action has an equal and opposite reaction, it’s no surprise that I found myself, in that moment, completely alone. I mean, my mom was there but she doesn’t count. I had done such a good job of protecting myself that I had successfully insulated myself from everything the world had to offer, good and bad.

This was no Planet Fitness, my friends, this looked like an Amazon warehouse dedicated to GUY SHIT. There were swords hanging from the walls, people deadlifting six hundred pounds, I felt like I was inside the Rock’s mind. I walked in and was greeted by two former US Navy SEALs, Logan and Dave. Navy SEALs. The most elite fighting force in the world and Josh from Drake & Josh. Same thing.

I wish I could time-travel to thirteen-year-old chubby Josh and tell him, “One day we’re going to be able to pass for John Stamos’s offspring, so don’t worry so much, and also put down that fifth slice of pizza while you still can.

Think you can be funny for more than six seconds?” It was a good joke and also made me think, Uncle Jesse has seen my Vines?

Well, you all know how these things go, nine months and copious amounts of hot croissants later, there I was, born at New York Hospital, a solid thirteen pounds, eight ounces. Just kidding. I was a svelte seven pounds, thirteen ounces and have been actively working to get back to my birth weight ever since. All the nurses couldn’t stop talking about how lean I looked in a onesie, trust me.

I have good memories from childhood too, of course, I grew up with a deep awareness that I was loved, decent, cared for, and blah blah blah, but FAT, very very fat. How fat?

Being overweight, especially in the nineties before the antibullying, body-positivity era of today, invited a lot of commentary and critique. I want to say something here before I go any further, today IS better. I don’t mean to make light of body positivity, it’s important and anyone who today feels more comfortable in their skin than they did when the only standard of beauty was a supermodel, I applaud you. For too long we walked around seeing beautiful people in all shapes and sizes that literally had no representation and today it’s drastically better. But being overweight when I was overweight was different.

Imagine being a sensitive, powerless kid who develops this habit that brings them comfort and peace, a coping mechanism to keep the world and their feelings at bay, but at the same time distorts their body, inviting teasing and criticism, which wounds them, and the only salve they know to ease that pain is to eat more. Holy crap, that’s a cycle.

thank you for reading my book, Mom, and also, can you please make Rice Krispies Treats more often because even as a man in my thirties, they still bring me absurd amounts of comfort.

There was another actor on the show, Drake Bell, whom I got matched up with a lot. We were great together, an undeniable chemistry. He was the perfect straight man to whatever crazy shit I was doing, and we started getting to that sweet spot onscreen where we could finish each other’s sentences.

Drake and I sort of became this unstoppable force and before long we were literally in every scene together. It made no sense because, like I said, we couldn’t have been more different. Drake liked the Beach Boys, I liked the Beastie Boys. Drake liked Mexican food, and for a thirteen-year-old weighing 220, Mexican was literally the only food I would turn down.

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, they transformed. Josh Peck? You best BELIEVE I’ll be transforming.

The reason why people are funny is usually not funny at all.

Find the people who support you to be what you want to be, who push you to be your very best, and if you find yourself in a room with someone who doesn’t make you feel that way, leave immediately.

The TRUTH is, I have walked around my entire life feeling terminally unique.

Funny thing about taking your life into your own hands, though, is once you have it, there’s no one to blame. It’s now solely your responsibility to make something happen and if it all falls apart, well, that’s on you.

Happy People Are Annoying

A surprise is a birthday party, a mistake is a DUI. A surprise is a winning lotto ticket, a mistake is getting caught smuggling drugs at the airport. They’re two very different things, and yet somehow, me being born can be categorized as both. It’s interesting to be able to assign different words to the same thing and have them both be true.

What kind of imprinting happens when the first person who was supposed to love you, leaves?

The reason why people are funny is usually not funny at all.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.

When you’re angry, everything is personal and nothing is random. You take on the injustice of the world, and if there’s no injustice, you create it.

there’s nothing wrong with going for your dream. Hell, I’ve been doing it my entire life. But it’s important to also nurture skills that can benefit you if statistically your dreams don’t quite pan out.

There’s a Mark Twain quote that says “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” Comedy is economy. How can you do the most with the least? No one’s ever said about a joke “It’s not wordy enough.

Didn’t he understand that I was trying to find validation through the material world?

One of the best ways to interpret what the Bible says about our future is to examine ancient prophecies, determine how they were explained and fulfilled, and apply that understanding to prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled.

A good life as the result of good living.

Be in the efforts business, not the results.

Maybe who I was as a teenager and in my twenties didn’t have to inform who I was for the rest of my life. Maybe I could begin again.

And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” (Mark 4:21–25, NET)

You didn’t tell me what was wrong with ME, you told me what was wrong with YOU and I identified.

Daily Law: Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power. Podcast Interview. Curious with Josh Peck. December 4, 2018

I (Josh) like to look at it this way: Imagine that after this life, you are standing in front of Jesus. All of your deed - both what you did for yourself and what you did to serve Jesus - are represented as a stack of wood, hay, and straw. You assume there are probably some jewels and gold in there, too. All of a sudden, a huge fire comes down and burns all the wood, hay, and straw, leaving behind only the things you did for Jesus: the only things that could not be burned. You look down in surprise to see a pile of gold and jewels small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. You walk up to that small pile, your deeds for Jesus throughout your entire life, and you scoop them up. You approach Jesus on His throne. You see the scars in His hands and on His feet: the evidence of what He has done for you with His life. You hold out your hand to Jesus, present Him with your small handful of jewels and gold, and the only thing you can muster to say is the honest, yet tragic confession, "I love you this much.

However, qedem can also mean ancient, aforetime, earliest time, and beginning, among others.[5] The word qedem is used to describe an attribute of God in other places of Scripture. “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.” Deuteronomy 33:27 In this verse, the word “eternal” was translated from the Hebrew word qedem. This shows the timeless attribute of God.

Josh Peck recently wrote a fascinating article for SkyWatchTV Magazine called “Extradimensional Earth,” in which he proposed an explanation for a curious discrepancy in the volume verses weight ratio (mass) of the earth: If we consider the entire Earth is about 260 trillion cubic miles, then there are 13 million cubic miles of unknown mass. No one knows what this extra mass is, where exactly it is located, why we can’t see it, nor why we can’t measure

we should be preparing now while we are still able to do so. After all, it is far better to be needlessly prepared than to be regretfully unprepared.

I believe that Thanatos and Hades will bring a worldwide pandemic, which could be Ebola but could also be a new, engineered disease. Ordo ab Chao, Order out of Chaos is the watch phrase for those in power who seek to transform the Earth into One Governed Body. A worldwide pandemic would serve their purposes by eliminating large portions of the population (Thanatos is given power to kill 25% of humanity), and it would pave the way for strict controls over commerce and travel.

He told how He longed to gather them all beneath His ‘wings’ (pinions) as a hen would gather her chicks to protect them, but that ‘they would not’. During the Tribulation period, Christ will supernaturally protect His own

See Josh Peck’s book Cherubim Chariots.

He looked up at me after a few moments, the storm in his eyes quieted, and he kissed me slow and languidly while he caught his breath, putting soft pecks along my jaw, brushing the hair off my forehead with his fingers. I loved it. It was so sweet and tender. And I couldn’t allow it. “Can you get me a towel?” I asked, putting a stop to it. He kissed my forehead. “Sure.” He got up and I watched him walk across the room, his perfect naked body silhouetted by the light coming from my bathroom. He came back in a second later and smiled at me as he handed me a towel. My heart yearned for him. I wanted to cuddle with him. I wanted him to stay. “Okay, time to go.” He got under the covers. “Nope.” He scooted in and threw an arm over me. “What do you mean ‘nope’? We’re done here. Thank you, and go home now.” This was the price. The payment for what I stole. I couldn’t have it all. I tried lifting his arm off me. It weighed, like, a million pounds. God, he was muscly. He rolled me onto my side, pulled my back into his chest, and snuggled me. “Nope. I’m staying the night. You took time off my sleep schedule. I’m not driving a half an hour to my apartment just to lose more sleep before a forty-eight-hour shift.” “Well, you’re sleeping in the guest room, then,” I said, pulling at his hand. He went into a vise grip over my rib cage. “Nope. Your futon sucks.” It wasn’t that I didn’t want him there. I did. I’d never wanted anyone to stay the night more in my life. And that’s exactly why he needed to leave. This had to be sex and only sex. This wasn’t a relationship. It couldn’t be. Ever. I could never let him mistake it for one. I had to be crystal clear about that. I was a dead end worse than Celeste, and if he ever developed feelings or things ever got fuzzy, I’d have to end it. He needed to go. “Josh, we’re not cuddling. This is a sex thing.” I tried to wriggle away from him and he laughed, nuzzling my neck. “Knock it off. We’re two grown-ass adults. We can share a bed for a night. And I’m not cuddling you—I’m using you as a body pillow.” I gave him side-eye that he couldn’t see. “Well, I’m not making you breakfast in the morning.” “Thank God.” I smirked. “Fine. Stay. But don’t go catching feelings. I mean it. We are not a thing. Got it?” “Using me for sex. Got it.” He pulled me closer and kissed my shoulder. “Stop!” “Good night.” I could tell he was smiling. I gave up my struggles and tried to relax. The rise and fall of his chest moved rhythmically against my back, and with every exhale, I sank deeper into him, like I belonged there. Like I was loved. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to push the feelings down. This was a bad idea. I didn’t know if I could compartmentalize this like I thought I could. Especially if he was going to be pulling this shit. And why was he pulling this shit? Didn’t guys prefer noncommittal sex-only situations? Didn’t he say he wasn’t ready to date? I was making this easy for him. My tired mind drifted off into sleep, and while I was somewhere in the fog, buried in his strong arms, he put his nose to my hair and breathed in.

Former unbelievers who respond positively to the Gospel before entering eternity will never need to have any part in the eternally burning Lake of Fire. Anyone can make today be the day he or she chooses to cast his or her sins on the cross, just as the children of Israel cast their sacrifices for sins on the altar, and allow Jesus to bear the burden. His death, burial, and resurrection have already taken place. The work is already finished. All a person needs to do now is trust Jesus for salvation. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
