Title: Random bits and what nots
Post by: Unknown-Comic on April 19, 2022, 06:40:29 PM
I figured I would share what popped out of my head today when I created my first thread here.  Blame thinking of DT songs in general, as I cannot say exactly what triggered it other than a few key words. I figured its a nice share, and interesting thought once you slightly change one line. First half is about human life, the second half is machines for life, not necessarily human.  Who knows what other things I may share, as I am random with thoughts.

The beginning and end, revolving
The living dead, go on evolving

Dreaming beyond the finite
Disregarding what is right

Grasping at the possibility
For life, without an ending
Choosing our humanity
Over a light so blinding

Staring into infinity

The beginning and end, revolving
The machines go on evolving

Dreaming beyond the finite
Disregarding what is right

Grasping at the possibility
For life, without an ending
Choosing our humanity
Over a light so blinding

Staring into infinity

Just about every day a flash of thought is born and dies in an instant. Writing them down captures it before its lost completely. Some use drugs to capture or escape the moment, while I do both without any need.  Problem is writing them down before their gone.

This some how captures the last 2 years.

How bad is bad
When it don't effect me
How mad is mad
As it tries to infect me

Impossible to distance others from me
When hypocrites line up, to dissect me

Everything has it's connection
Entangled by their direction

As it pulls us apart

Escaping reality, an impossibility
When trapped in this monstrosity

How sad is sad
When no tears come from me
How mad is mad
When others surround me

Escaping reality, an impossibility
When trapped in this monstrosity
Everything has it's connection
Entangled by their direction

As it pulls us apart

So, is this a poetry thread? A place reserved for your private thoughts? A replacement for a lost livejournal account? Are you looking for feedback?  ???

Nope, haven't got a clue.  If I share something its from the top of my head. Mostly misspelled or ill formated, as I find hand held tech problematic to speeds accuracy. My internal metronome is 1/4 time. Writing slows me down enough, only to get hit by a fast moving truck when crossing streets. Thus not many discussions I will drop in on. Consider what I share is for others entertainment purposes.  My thoughts are triggered, so who knows what will conjour when I pop in and read. Thus, my thread, as its the only thread I can add to without feeling lost.

Not really... though there are segments of sorts. I am new and trying to wear a new shoe so to speak. Not socially inept to just jump in to others threads. So this one is my breaking through thread. Bits and what nots, meaning anything can pop in at any time.

Ah,  to be honest... most references can throw me a loop. Thus my quietness around people in general. Stuff like that needs some trigger effect, to release them.  Example if someone out of the blue asked me for the lyrics to images and words, i would not be able to start or correctly give any line. But when the song is played think of every word on que.  Same with music. When I played I sounded lousy until the band played.  Not that they covered my ass, just could not keep my brain in sync.  Oddly like stutters that must sing words to keep from stuttering.  Unlike others who dive into looking at modern labeling to hide behind for identification for a condition, I prefer just to think its just me.  I am sure someone will have a label for it. Ha!

  ha!  Actually morning half awake mode.  Things tend to stick longer.

Here this popped up while ai tired to answer the flood of replies.  My brain hurts from it. So , until I am capable this will be all for today. 

Traveling about, I find myself lost amungst round abouts and dead ends.
In conversation I end up stopping for no apparent reason. Thinking there must be an end, as I have contemplated everything when it had started.

So I write to layout a map of thoughts. To cover every direction. Loosing all that follow in the royal round about.  Thinking is there any end.

Ha!  More like Kurt Cobain.  In that too many people or too much recognition destroys me.  Had to pop in for just a bit.  Too much  for me, as a I'm not one for group gatherings. I am the one who stand behind the plants more than take the center floor.  Because its difficult I move in and out of forums. Not many, just easier to manage.  I figured my opening story has its odd place here, more than being locked away, with the rest of my menagerie of oddities.

Once I tried to send a smoke signal for help and ended up burning down a national forest... I think everyone misunderstood the signal.  All I needed was a tow, not a freaking air tanker!

Yeah, there are more of us out there... coming from a writers site, I have been fighting the feeling of too many around me. If they did not count reads and have anyone comment, it would be easier on me. At first hardly anyone but a few would read. Now, I have thousands and noticed some of my writings have been growing in sharing with others. Thus my move to here and put a thought or two.  The other forums I frequent are techie, simple question answer stuff.  Its when I start explaining beyond topic it either goes over their heads or gets discounted as novice guess work. I have been told some are jealous and are snippy. Doesn't't bother me as much as so many that seem to watch my thoughts  more than I care. I know they are public but, seems with forum its different.  You expect google hits to pull up what ever. Its gone to me going out of my way to discourage them reading, by mockery of all in various ways. Yet more read. I want to believe Corona has made more read than ever.  Don't know, i feel like the song DT misunderstood, which is fairly easy to understand lyrics being sung.  Just use to my own world of the not many.  Gosh, like what I wrote earlier... a bit of everything in a round about with no ending. Ha!

My poor brain with so many all at once. Not that a hand full has blown my circuits, just to put it simple, my brain has no focus, unless triggered.  I can seem to focus but it is around 35% brain power.  I notice too much at once and can't isolate from distraction. Growing up I was exhausted by 8.00pm until College. Mostly because class and everything around me had my brain running 100% trying to focus on class work and other things.  That is why I can't work with others, in having my brain feel distracted at random occurances.  Nothing wrong with replies and questions, just I'll pop in and out to keep my own sanity so to speak.

In the mean time, here is my funny short non fiction story of house ownership. Mostly I have not been up to humor writing as much as I had been before Corona, this may suffice for the time being. There is a part 2, but I feel it would be mocked as a bloody novel. Ha! Boring one too many into coma, and making me the 1st ever to be banned for being a detriment to society.

Oddly true...

Through the years of home ownership, our houses becomes possessed.
Strange as it is... nothing seems at it seems.
Toilets that fail to flush.
Sump pumps that fail to pump in a heavy rain.
Roofs become aged before your eyes
Everything flows outside of its drain.
Gremlins lurking, and swapping wires, chomping on Internet cables
Our garden goats eating grass clean to the root.
Electronic thermostats go wonky after a battery replacement.
Fan motors burn out and squeal violently.
Cement reinforced parkway's crack and become craggy crumbles every 3 to 4 years.

If you have ever read Henry Rollins' 'Smile You're Traveling' book... this is just as fun (minus most of the swearing... boo, hiss, bloody hell), or not so fun depending on which side of the fence you stand... beware toilets may cause trouble if you are too close to the fence.


After the first 5 years...

The air conditioning won't cool, and it's our first 90° F day... emergency call to a repair man. Nice man in general... quickly looks at our compressor. No issues... so he looks at our thermostat. I told him a new battery was just in stalled. No problem... pops the top and pushes a reset button. Bam air conditioning functional.  He recommends replacement if it happens again.

I started noticing more often a heating and air conditioning repair man stopping by all over our housing complex through the months and on through the years. Our first warning.

Well, I would be on the Internet at the time, but our garden goats (a team of hired grounds keepers) decided to trim around our side pathways between the houses. The chopped our telco wires with some weed eater from hell! Yep, cut them clean through.

By the way... them garden goats will take all day to cut around our block. Not that bad, but the noise can be very annoying, as they seem to congregate around our house. Back and forth and around. One after another. Blower, lawn cutter, weed cutter, and use the blower once more... like go away, nothing is left to cut or blow. Keep it up and you'll hit bed rock! Stop, God please stop!

Also them garden goats will cut grass in the rain or soon after... who in their right mind cuts grass in the freaking rain! Crimey!

We put up with DSL, for a bit longer until out satellite TV subscription was done. On to cable internet.  Nope, not going to happen. No Internet for you!

Them goats, had chopped our underground tv cable from the last event, that had gone unnoticed, until found. No problem our cable provider fixed it in a few days. Though Internet would drop off time to time. The bloody switch, which we were connected to, was bloody taxed. Not enough band width and cross talk, with signal leakage. Fixed until... the next update which happend a few years later. No problem, I took matters on my own, fixed the issue by adding attenuators to bring our overly high signal strength to a normal level.

Oh not to mention the parade of the toilets along our streets. Every once and a while, a toilet would be released to the wild.  Part of our nature loving neighborhood.  Eventually the toilet will move on and live free, where they can thrive in a natural invironment on their own.

If your lucky you can spot up to 3 of those things scattered along our housing site. You may want to bring a camera, for recording the sightings. As it has become rarer now to see just one, these days.

One year we had a heavy rain... which brought in an onslaught of plumbers and repair crews. From faulty sump pumps in basements. Ours was not faulty one bit... it became an indoor fountain.  Water being pumped 4 feet above the pipe. The seal to the out bound pipe blew out at the one way valve.

No problem our plumber was so busy, he saw the issue and temporarily fixed the pipe, by rerouting it to the sewer, not the gutter piping. Some how the exit pipe got sealed shut.  No problem to the fix and left a card to fix at a later time.

Then later on, a garage door spring broke... which was not much of an issue. Until 4 years later... pop the other failed. Moral of the story, tell your repair man to replace both at the same time, or it can double by the service call costs.

Late in the year at the start of winter snow... 19° F weather outside, our heater fails when wife was just released from hospital. I turned on the heater, and within minutes the vents started smoking, and odd noise then nothing. So emergency fix was needed. Had the motor replaced, and set our fans to say stay on, instead of being used only when needed. Keeps the fan from wear and tear, and if it fails again, odds are it won't fail, when really needed. Been running ever since.

For no apparent reason our house's roofs started looking tattered, all rolled edged with some shingles completely missing. These Roofs have a 25 year life cycle... Lucky for us our house was completed almost 2 years after the ones first built. So nothing noticable for now... until another 5 years... time to replace. Found out in 2000 the shingle manufacturer went belly up. Just as you guessed it, for their wonderful product.

After the 2nd attempt to replace our crumbled cement drive, a new neighbor, decides to have our shared lawn replaced with landscaping.  Yes our lawns were in tatters from our wonderful garden goats. Eating the tops right down to the roots. It was nice... our neighbor would go around and meticulously pick wee weeds and mushrooms that would pop up randomly. Also cut and watered the lawn himself. Our garden goats were told not to touch our lawn. At one time google maps showed our lawn as the greenest lawn for a full 1 mile radius. We could have owned a best lawn award if 'Homes and Gardens' knew of us. It did not last long... he moved away a few months down the road. Now it looks pretty much the same as everyone elses.

Another attempt at fixing our ever crumbling cement drive... for a 3rd time, and will need another fix, as it's cracking and separating very well now, mind you.

Well our garden goats had another fine idea, they decided to airate our lawn. This time used extra deep plug depths. Which cut all our connections below the sod depth, to our house. Great no phone, and no cable. We were not the only ones. A smattering of houses were effected.

What was really wonderful, was soon after discovery, I looked at the lawn to see our cable ripped out and laying out in the open, when it was to be under the sod. Also the sod had been cleanly cut and piled  as if someone was going to plant a tree.  After showing our neighbor, he said take a picture... never happened, as I had been busy with contacting the proper people to fix the cables. By the time I got around to taking the pictures, the bloody goat quietly repaired the evidence. Broken wire buried under sod. Like let's see it grow into a nice shrub. Bloody numpty! I can imagine, stopping the bugger and confronting him. No I will not explain my thoughts on that one. All I can say that wire will be buried deep in his...

For a short time, our neighborhood had toppling mailboxs. The posts world rot below ground. So as you guessed, random mail box topplings.

Which brings up our latest episode... I need to explain our rubbish bin mishap of December. We had high winds which blew bins over and slid them across to jumble up. Some how ours got nicked by our neighbor, accross the street.  I was left with a much larger bin from our recently moved neighbor's house.  I used it temporarily, until our bin showed up next door. Don't know what it was up to, it was like a teen aged daughter showing up late in the morn after a night out. Won't tell you where she went, and gets put away in he room, silent.

Anywho, the other bin was returned, and safe and sound.

Today... rubish pickup was freaking amazing! I pulled out to do my errands, and noticed our mail box was missing. Gone! I got out of my car and noticed the mail box on the ground, along with the mail box post light up topper.

Obviously the automated bin picker grabbed our mail box and ripped it off the post. So I got our new mail box installed, along with our neighbors which shares our post. They stopped after pulling out their car, so I explained what had happened. Was given new box that they had for a replacement. Yep you guessed it, that will be the next thing to be in the neighborhood's replacement list, as the mailboxes are getting tatty looking with rust and worn hinges.

Another thing... the neighbors that moved out... they were a bunch of rednecks.  They would sit in their garage and face our house, as if there was of any interest.  Nothing like a past neighbor who lived a block behind us.  We called him the drug lord. Odd things going on in front of his house.  Midnight ambulance,  and one morning some guy was tossing ornamental rocks from our beloved mail box posts, at the top floor bedroom window. We expected him to break the glass, but he didn't.  It took about 10 tosses to get the guy out of bed. Ha!  We use our second bedroom as a TV room, which you cannot miss the neighbor's house a block behind us.

Back to the rednecks... one night a storm happened, which had high winds blowing over our house, and being facing us, our house was a wind break. So they were happIy sitting in the garage while lightning and rain was blowing away, launching rockets directly over our house.  Exploding over our house. At first I thought it was the storm, but after 4 of them things I got a clue.These were them expensive rockets so the power in them could do some damage, on our newly replaced roof. I was going to give him a telling, but by the time I got dressed for going out side, they launched their remaining rockets. The midwest, loves fireworks. In fact on the border of Indiana has the world's largest firework warehouse,  open all year around.  So lucky us they spent their life savings on their up in smoke fireworks, as that was pretty much it after that.

Well now that we are well settled in, no other evil instances have a plagued us... but you'll never know.

Just a thought today. I did not go too deep, but as with most thoughts I generalize.

Have we become a society of victims?  Politically it seems a one sided point. Each of every segment, fighting for redemption. It's so blinding, that details are only seen when placed in our face.  Some, I have found, before Corona, were just the same victims as we see them today. Yet, why so much emphasis on being a victim? Do they think someone will listen, or has the Corona straw broke the camel's back?  For what ever reasons lay, feeling like a victim seems to stay, no matter how much is done to resolve.  No amount of money, or change will remove the feeling of being a victim... it's only those who are able to break free, and shrug it off, that can walk away from it.  All I see now, is many victims, clinging on to being the victimized, as a security blanket.  Not willing to release the remainders of what they have kept as part of their existence. We are all victims, clamoring over each other. Fighting for a fair share of retribution when everything is unequal, makes all victims unequal, up into extreme levels. In becoming the perpetual, when those victim's hunger is insatiable. To ignore and walk away, makes us a perpetrator, but to give into a victims demands, allows to be victimized.  Either emotionally, or placed below the victim, as being at an equal level. The more demonstrative, the greater chance of being rewarded. Eventually reciprocating victimization.  Making the root cause a bit of a virus. Eating away, evolving as it replicates.  In which I see no cure.  I admit I am the creator of my own victimization, in being quiet.  To place myself no higher than anyone else I come across. Many that I have given such respect, end up over stepping.  I think it's more annoying than aggravating, since I come to expect it to be, as it's part of human nature, to overstep in some way, being part of survival of the fittest.

Bouncing back from being drained.  Phone support, now these days, they are vampires.  Don't even try online chat support, when in need. Not that they will suck the life out of you, as well... just they are as limited as you are, with issues.

With automation being the only way for assistance, you can be completely at mercy of the automation.  Pressing #, *, 0 or some number not on the options,  may send you to a real person. Unfortunately, you must deal with their knowledge and ability to navigate proper protocols.  Expect a hold, to a prompt disconnect.  Which will start the process all over again. With that, expect at least 1 hour to burn, on top of waiting in the queue. You may find your hour eaten up by disconnects and transfers, with further hold times. You may also find introducing yourself to 10 complete strangers before having a supervisor assist, because someone realized the issue is beyond them.  Requesting a supervisor makes them defensive, as if they must do something, to prove they assisted. To compound the ineffectiveness of support, their ticketing system may not tie in, with your account or phone number, to the particular service you have, if they offer multiple service options. Not good if you have pay as you go and have a warranty issue, when transfered to contract support. All having separate ticketing, you will never have a complete record of contact with your issue.  Which makes the support person as lost as you.  It can get bad, once to are transfered to a support agent you recognize,  from a previous call, especially when you have hung up on them, out of frustration.  Your only saving grace is they forgot, because the call was a more than 36 hours ago. Hopefully being cooled down, your voice is softer, and they have lost a bit of hearing in their ear, since then.  You may find the necessity to hang up and wait a few days, to reset, more often than expected. Consider it normal now, especially when support people are working from home, and you hear kids or tv in background, while being assisted, as they try to multi-task about their house.  You can offer to have them mute the tv or tape the child's mouth shut, and stop doing any house work. But they may hang up on you, making you start all over again, to take it out on the next person who comes in contact.  None the less you have few options to navigate work from home people. They are the most limited and stressed to deal with, and easily make you loose your patience, making any contact with people around you trigger snippy and snide remarks from you.  Take up meditation, have a safe place for your pets/children to go, and have wife/g'friend take a holiday,  if you are prone to issues that require calling phone support.

It's so blinding, that details are only seen when placed in our face.  Some, I have found, before Corona, were just the same victims as we see them today. Yet, why so much emphasis on being a victim? Do they think someone will listen, or has the Corona straw broke the camel's back?  For what ever reasons lay, feeling like a victim seems to stay, no matter how much is done to resolve.  No amount of money, or change will remove the feeling of being a victim... it's only those who are able to break free, and shrug it off, that can walk away from it.  All I see now, is many victims, clinging on to being the victimized, as a security blanket.  Not willing to release the remainders of what they have kept as part of their existence. We are all victims, clamoring over each other. Fighting for a fair share of retribution when everything is unequal, makes all victims unequal, up into extreme levels. In becoming the perpetual, when those victim's hunger is insatiable. To ignore and walk away, makes us a perpetrator, but to give into a victims demands, allows to be victimized.  Either emotionally, or placed below the victim, as being at an equal level. The more demonstrative, the greater chance of being rewarded. Eventually reciprocating victimization.  Making the root cause a bit of a virus. Eating away, evolving as it replicates.  In which I see no cure.  I admit I am the creator of my own victimization, in being quiet.  To place myself no higher than anyone else I come across. Many that I have given such respect, end up over stepping.  I think it's more annoying than aggravating, since I come to expect it to be, as it's part of human nature, to overstep in some way, being part of survival of the fittest.

I'll bite.  I've written about this many, many times, here on this site.  Being a victim, whether justified or not, absolves you of responsibility.  For some, they truly are victims.  They did nothing when they woke up that morning to encourage their outcomes during the day.  Sometimes that's an overt act of aggression or violence - rape, assault - sometimes that's just a random occurrence of life - say, a tree falls in your yard.   I think the problem we've seen lately (and I am only speaking of America) is the trend of substituting "victim" in for what is really just a sub-optimal outcome of a daily life occurrence.  And that is really a give and take with a massive, societal insecurity that almost demands that we be able to transfer our culpability to someone "accountable".  We're not good at accepting the adage "Man plans, and God laughs".  We're not good at accepting our fate, if our fate isn't consistent with that perfect life on Facechat, or YouToob, or wherever it is we get our fantasy content. 

This isn't a new phenomenon; we've lamented the damage done to women's psyche for years from porn and Hollywood and advertisements; the perfect ideal woman who doesn't exist.  Why is it any different for the family with the kids that don't listen and aren't that smart or good looking being compared to the quippy little intellectuals on TV or from that family down the street's Facegram page?  Hint: it isn't.

And as I said above, we can't face being accountable for our averageness, our ordinariness. We live in a "super", "extreme", "mega" society but when our jobs aren't, it's not us, we're getting f*****d by The MAN!  When our mortgages come to be too much (like Bart referenced in the other thread), it's not our bad financial planning, it's we were conned by The MAN!    We can't even call our own thoughts what they are: opinions; that's not good enough, that's not powerful enough, they have to be our Truths! OUR truths; forget that "truth" is by definition universal. We can't be bound by the laws of syntax or math; we are POWERFUL, we can change it to suit our self image! 

If this sounds cynical, it is, but not without reason.  It's going to ultimately be the end of the American empire, and when Dave Manchester eventually starts posting again regularly (I certainly hope he does) I think he'll have a lot to say about that topic.

You covered a facet so to speak. Cynical is another view, in which is some what jaded but direct to the point out root cause.  From the day you are born, you are a victim. Being slapped on the butt, circumcision, peers, soured friendships and so on.  The amount one holds onto being a victim has more weight than confronting and obtaining resolution.  Most find no peace, no matter how much is done. A Charlie Brown syndrome. I see way too many look at themselves negatively because of what they believe from comparison. The other side of the mirror.  We are our own worst enemy.  I wrote a poem a year or so ago, from a trigger moment with CDs and seeing the eye looking at me. I made it for my halloween poem entries.  It explains the dark side everyone has when looking at them selves. Victims of their own mind.

 The Eye

It's an ominous sight
Your attempts to ignore, a fight

In looking, you stare into it
Immediately you lose the gambit

Seeing depth in its darkness
Seeing death in its starkness

You feel its touch, what to do?
Haunted by it seeing through you

Now it's locked on, like radar
You feel it watching, from a far

It's hunger eats away at your mind
In paranoia, your sanity left behind

Trying to hide, you stay inside
Ice cold water to break the slide

Once eyes have cleared
You look in the mirror

What you see what you feared
Your own eye so dark, in tears

I'm sorry. Circumcision?  What's that got to do with it?

That seems to be of each person's understanding.  Some parents in the US feel its not a requirement and fear undo stress on baby.  As for me I remember details of child birth and early months of being a baby.  Early in my toddler life, the birth segments that I had remembered, gave quite the horrors with creating nightmares. Not that the subject has made an effect on me, it was more seeing the doctor and nurse in scrubs, with out reached arms, while feeling restrained,  was the most effective at creating long term nightmares.

So the mention is wide on ones thoughts of being a victim. Just knowing you made a choice to effect other person, that is long lasting, can make you a victim of guilt, as well as the person who is effected by it.  I have no issues for my self, but some guys do later in life, when penis and performance, may be of importance. 

Not to make an issue from how I see what can effect a baby in general, just everyone is different by levels of interpretation around them when being victimized. I say half of the victimizers don't see teasing in play an issue (when in the act of teasing is a dominance thing), as it is part of growing up and learning to deal with others.  Being some who are more dominant, may learn how much they can get a way with actions, before someone is hurt by it, and some don't by level of connection to others.  Yet not all understand emotionally what teasing is all about from a personal level.

Example it took years to understand others.  I had no inherent greed, ambition and much social needs, from being partially autistic. If you don't perceive some actions as victimizing, you can still be a victim unknowingly. Which after time of repetitive actions, may pop up once realized what kind of victimization has occured. In some ways its a mater of perspective.  If you live your life thinking about the past, you are a victim of your self, by letting the past control you.

Gosh I think I did a royal round about again, in trying to make many thoughts around a simple question, into what I think covers the angles.  I am sure more can be said.  Not everything I point out is as broad as I want it to be, mostly its what I see as important to get at the core, from my understanding.  If I  thought more like you, per say, I would come off at another angle from different experience that have importance.

That's got to be the drugs talking. I don't think anyone remembers being a baby that young.

Science generally accepts that we cannot remember anything from the birthing experience, and very little prior to the age of three unless it's a major life event (some people claim to remember the birth of siblings, as early as the age of two). In many cases of supposed early memories, the person is actually remembering expressions of that early memory, like photos or family stories.

Yup, that was my understanding.  This came up on Easter as my brother claimed to remember something from very young and everyone was like "no you remember the pictures and stories, there's no way you actually remember that"

Yep, i do still remember birth sequences.  It was dream like so until i was older and found what a birth was like. I could not comprehend what I knew.  You must understand toddlers have limited understanding with what most take for granted.  Unless a toddler has hospital experiences, and or has watched R movies... tv dramas, which back then seemed very clean with details,  their concept of reality is much different until experienced first hand.  I can recall what I remember, but it's not as detailed as when I much younger.  In fact i recall seeing lights... like alien ships go over head in darkness of night. The lights reminded  me later when I had an affinity for Sci-Fi with mom staying up with me. War of the Worlds.  Until later when I was able to travel around at night in car, I noticed street lights, and knew then what I must have seen while a baby was night time street lights.  They were back to back shining on both roadways in the center median.  But still could not think of it being real for me, until later.  Mom told me that she would take me out on a drive at night to help make me sleep, when I was a few weeks old.  Some how the street lights moving over head was remembered very well.

It was complete nonsense, but what really troubles me, is I understood you completely."

Are you sure you're not Yakov Smirnoff?

Ha!  I have an odd sense of humor.  Its a mix of Dan Akroyd, Billy Connolly, Robin Williams and Steve Martin.  Talk about Steve Martin... My aunt at one time was in his house.  For a one time visit. She borrowed the toilet, and found that the old style, with take above basin,  had been extended higher than normal, with a short chain. The only way to flush was to close the lid, and stand on top pf the toilet to pull chain. Ha!

The Robin Williams is rare to others, as it is more like my brain, fast and hard to get words out proper.  Like when I was multi tasking, and answered a question. My brain fired off, but words did not come out as I expected.   Once I quickly told a girl on the bus, after she said excuse me... that the bus was not equipped with a restroom, and she had to leave the bus for that.  Needless to say her big bro was behind her, and ready to toss me out the window.   If you really want to get someone not so happy take a block of wood and frost it nicely with choccy frosting.  Many look at you oddly when trying to cut it.   Which most of my cousins who have been around me knew sort of what to expect.  Unfortunately, being untrusted, one cousine had the last laugh on me.  I had given him a Delaware Punch.  It's a non carbinated drink in a funny looking circus paterned can.  He waited til I got a good gulp and quickly tickled my throat to check if I had swallowed.  Needless to say, I blew it all out my nose. That stang and was one of the worst feelings.

Most of my gags or fun moments are like Harpo Marxx.  Where I don't have to say much, but catch the right moment as things unfold.  Like leave a one sheet empty toilet roll on the roller, and place a good roll too far to reach, where it sits on a shelf, in view.  My old apartment.  Where one must pull up trousers and carefully make it to reach the roll.  If a gent thinks about it, he could grab a towel off the rack, and carefully whip the roll down, without need to get up.  Its my modification to Steve Martin's bathroom gag.

Because it is easier to get strangers unexpectedly... I use a very very old Bob the Bobcat Goldthwait joke, when I can't help it. Only twice, I have been able to. You must be in a pet shop, and stick around the hamsters.  When you hear a child say, what's the difference between a hamster and a gerbil?  You quickly say, a hamster has more dark meat. I do a wee twist Aykroyd style.  I include a percentage of 20% more, to the dark meat punch line.

Well, needless to say I was to post another bit to my odd assortments of such. Will add it in another reply.

Hello normal!  Yep normal is here to stay. What ever you find big or small, that can be changed, will change.  Gone are the days of being stuck in mediocrity. You are no longer in the world of the given. Centuries are counted as decades, now. Generations are beamed light years away. In some ways, not far enough.

Normal is a flash in the pan, crimson sunrise in your tequila, to start your day.  Only til sun down, when nuclear rainbows outline the dance floor, and leave everyone looking the same.  All to be replaced with something else, by dawn... by someone else. The paper boy, home delivery, or Amazon?  Do you wear it, even if it doesn't fit, or eat it, thinking its good fiber?

Will the normal change you forever, or will you ever tire of normal? To loose your self in the same yet stable state, to hold on to, before it's gone forever.

Well, I had to do a search, as recalling requires more than right out of the blue answering.  Mainly because I don't catigorize names and titles much.  Sometimes my mind can recall spontaneously.  Here is a list of primaries.  Did not look at cd names much, as my list was big enough.   Some are just one release only. For a while I started to feel, I was death to good bands. Once I found them the singer died or the band poofed. Badlands, released 2 more after their Badlands title. Being enough material in the studio. Museum was like tool, in like one CD every 10 years. Ha!  Though each release was scarcer than the other. Only 2 that I know of from the LA band.

Helloween, Kamelot, Jaco Pastorius, John Coltrain, Scorpions, Blues Travler, Sonata Artica, Some free CD handed out in 2001 by Roadrunner records (mix) at the Atlanta GA Tool world tour 2001,  A demo CD from a Brazilian rock band called Electrika CD called S.O.B., Badlands,  Concrete Blonde, Bela fleck and the Flectones,  Black Sabbath, Ozzy Ozborne, David Gilmour, Guns n Roses, Joe Satriani, Radio Head,  Stevie Ray Vaughn, Museum,  Tangerine Dream, and a mix of bands that are to be found on radio.

Note:  Badlands, Electrika, Museum are bands I found on my own, and not on radio or tv.  I did not listen much on radio, as it bored me. Most have been from others while growing up, or from class friends, or from seeing live performances.

The reason those are mostly played, is because I never get bored with them, like DT.  Though some are just one album or a narrow selection.  If you like Creed and also like alternative sounds,  Electrika has a nicely done play, even though half the songs are in Brazilian, all songs are quality.  Though it is impossible to find, like Museum Lost CD, but you would have a better chance finding Lost.  Museum is like David Bowie's NIN sounding Outside CD.

Oh, I have felt that way, in waiting for some scandi and UK shows.  It took 2 years to get Cordon in english subtitled.  Waiting for Missions series 3 to be in english as well. By the time any of the foreign shows get released, I have practically forgotten about them. Ha!

Ever since Game of Thrones, the Irish show Jack Taylor has been on delay.  They have yet to cancel.  Also Corona has slowed shows.  There is two Aussie shows,  Jack something or another, with Guy Pierce and the other is called Mystery Road, based on the two movies, with the same character.

Corona has messed with a lot of tv programming.  There was an obscure UK corona edition program with guests playing themselves for a play. Of which they are video chatting back and fourth.  The episode with Samuel L Jackson was a hoot.  He played a typical irritated version of himself. The series too a while to move along, but it was worth catching that episode.

Forgot to say, as I had bounced in and out of this thread.   You don't want to see me on drugs.  It's bad enough on diet dew decaf.  Ha!  Techie work mates would shake heads on why.  I like the flavor, but that's me.   I have a built in optimistic good vibe built in.  The closest example is Forest Gump movie.  Not that I him, just he never feels down and out.  Also like him, I have had a few instances of stumbing into odd and interesting things, that go as everyday in acceptance, yet to others its more than everyday so to speak. I am not one to dwell on details and such, but may pop off with what ever gets triggered by convo.   Like the Steve Martin bathroom. Not many hear it from me, but I share as I go with my thoughts.  So if you hear me talk about drugs... it's nothing I have experienced for myself. Though it does not mean I haven't been around it by others partaking such activities.

After a small discussion on a techie forum, I had to add my reply here as a brief thought, I shared.

It bothered me when I heard the words, "You think?"... Now I don't hear it much.  As a bothersome replacement, "Yeah, I get it" is starting to bother me.

I think, I can get back at them, by saying "You think", after they say, "I get it". Or run them together and say, "You think, you get it?".

Here I had thought, that I had a thought to share. Unfortunately it poofed, when replying on thinking and getting it.  Now distracted by it, knowing its now lost, I am at a loss.

I guess the most bothering to my distraction is shopping for groceries.  Yep, I did a shop mid day.  Some have noted how Corona has limited our shelves. To me, its been gradual for the last 7 years, now.  Corona just made it more noticeable with supply chain issues. Before Corona, we had 6 super markets that eventually dropped to 4, 5 years ago. At least we have a super Walmart and a Meijer for more items.  But the selections have slowly dwindled and as of recent the 4 super markets have done a full restructured lay outs. To address the items being limited.  Basic items use to be between two local stores, within 2 mile radius, now it's between every store, depending on stocking times and truck delivery. 

Gone forever are fancy choccy waffles.  Usually found near bakery / bread isles. They were cheep and easy items for custom deserts. In fact many odd prepackaged bakery items have been canceled.  If I were to put a finger on the amount of canceled items, I would say 30% of store brand shelved items and common prepackaged bakery items are no longer.  Not that I must by store brand for expences, just there are some very good store brand items that have no equivalent.  Which makes compromise with less tastey name brand. Who would have thought that, name brand being inferior. 

Well, it never fails, after a shop that use to be not so daunting, and less stressful, is now something I dread. Back before Corona, I was a fairly fast shopper, minding to keep an even pace.  Now people are as fast as I, without a pace.  Like if I were naughty, I could easly drop a basket in pathway, and find some crazy shopper ready to plow into it before saying oops!  Also the location I live in... it is common courtesy to say excuse me after cutting through.  WTF!  I get better manners from an 7 year old in Georgia. Even though I can survive the shop and lines, the whole thing sticks in mind for a day.

@ Comic...re: Grocery stores

I have lived in a Grocery Store for almost 31 years now, holding a number of positions...Front End Manager, Assistant Store Manager, Store Manager (for 15+ years), Grocery Manager, and I am now a Receiver, a job that I plan on riding out until I retire.


Talking about people in a rush, the Instacart shoppers are notoriously impatient. Their faces are in their phones, and they have no concept that there are other shoppers around them. They constantly bug us to help them find shit. Dude...fucking cereal is in the CEREAL AISLE. I am NOT fucking shopping for you.


There has not been a 7 year wind down of product. Supply chain issues are real. Factories/Bakeries are not anywhere near 100% due to both staffing levels and raw material shortages.
Own Branded items are definitely taking a hit. Most are made by major name branded manufacturers, and well, their branded items are getting priority.

Ah!  That explains it... though about insta-cart.  80 year olds use to be slow. Talk about a side job, as if they are on speed or something.

None the less, i am not so keen on seeing basics be so limited, knowing there should be a priority over crap name brand items.  I know some can't give up on twinkies, but 5 freaking flavors on the shelves.  At one time they said Corona attacks over weight people.  All through the 1st year, they pumped out more fatfattening foods.  Its a conspiracy on both sides.  One to plump you up, and the other to make money with junk food, when depressed. If  Corona don't get you, your clogged arteries will!

Maybe I'll catch it too, some time. Here I thought I seen most all 80s stuff, good or bad.

Did not carry this over, as my last convo was techie, once more... unless you like assembling a torque flight 727 instructional?  Ha!

Here is the other half of my convo about words... the I get it, segment, that I dropped in. I figure it may keep some amusement when my day will be away.

A reply back on the techie thread...

Whenever someone in a conversation says, "You think?" to me, my answer is: "I gave that up; it always got me into trouble."

My reply

Yeah, I see good reason to your point. You can't claim responsibility, for any consequences, because you believe in Karma. What ever happens, happens.

Now for odd ball late 80s movie... which just popped up, from Karma triggering a line in the movie, then triggered the name of it.  It Takes Two, is the title, and it centers around a Countach... well actually a knock off version.  Enjoy!

You know, at first, I had a difficult time making heads or tails out of your posts. Your brazen disregard for grammar and punctuation combined with what only can be described as a Yoda-esque sentence structure made for a wince-inducing read.

To be honest, android thumb typing is annoying.  After a few attempts to back space a bit and find my thumb had mistyped once more, or I am on a roll, and don't want to stop while things are somewhat legible; I just give up completely, once  2 minutes worth of typing becomes 10 or more.  If you really want a challege, just peek over my shoulder and watch how many errors a person can make, thumb typing a paragraph.  I gould go ingo the guineapig book or word records!  See, I left that alone for you!

Brain burn out today... assisting foreign speaking android TV user to manually adjust Screen resolution to fit a panoramic tv.  Basically 2280x1080 screen, but no specs were given.  Mostly on assumption from end user. Technically he was to use ADB to manually set the default of 1920x1080 on Android TV box to fit his tv screen, without setting for 4K and pushing at expanding it, which would make the chipset overloaded by extra bandwidth required to allow a wider display. By allowing a 2K setting be pushed somewhere below 4K, without extending beyond its bandwidth, the 4K standard has no head room for expanding the display area any wider than set in default. You would need a 8K tv box with a 4K panoramic tv, to keep a true 4K resolution.  Needless to say, we left the experimentation at their discression, at a later time.  It may work, it may not, but there you go, being at the mercy of technology.

 Nope, a glutton for punishment. Ha!  Actually some of the sites I randomly drop in at times have the not so usual troubles. Some of which are more difficult when translation back and fourth is unfriendly.  Been more of a reader, of the sites for the last 7 years.  One of which as programmer hackers. Not the sort of hackers you hear about with cyber security.  The hackers are computer hardware, in making patches or incomatible hardware functional.  I did my own hack on making a Panasonic BluRay writer for HP become a Sony through hacking the firmware loader. Once completed, it had been fully updated with full features, that were never released with stock Panasonic firmware.  After a few years the site went poof, and my hack was lost forever.  I still have some of it in my head, so the act of doing another can be done, just no reason to, since such hardware is no longer a hot item for rippers. There are a few other cool threads lost because of sites poofing. One was about my Dell 9402 Laptop.  Its one of the few with dual M.2 slots in a 14" foot print. I got it just before Corona released for 2021. The thread was about modding it with upgrades, and benchmarks.  Dell soon changed it to the Insprion 14, which is still being sold, but is inferior. One of my rants was about expecting Corona to cheapen hardware while making it more expensive. Well, I need not fear my theory being wrong.  Funny thing is all the sites that have reviews on the 9402 are after I had completed my own thread. Yet none come close. Goes to show reviews are a box of chocolates with mostly creme filled fluff.  Luckily my only surviving thread is alive and kicking. Actually gained over 10,000 views since Corona, and I had not bothered to make any updates. Which frightens me,  because I am not one to be a center of  much of anything.  I blame google search, as the topic is old car modifications, with a car hardly anyone knows about, now these days. Not that is is a rare and expensive car to own, it is just the opposite, like get your own and customize, why make my toy a personal drooling machine. Its not that special. Ha!  Believe me its not even close to being assembled, and looks pulled from a wrecker.  Gosh my round about has gone wonky again. Going to stop, as my brain will keep going elsewhere, where it stops, nobody knows. Ha!

Eeeeeeeeeeew!  The only line I can safely recall is, Do they work? Used car salesman replies, sure do... Headlights open and light up. 

A bit of odd trivia... The 65 Riviera is the only GM car to have both left and right head light clam shells open simultaneously, though linkage and a power window motor drive.  Oddly enough the rest of the cars were either vacuum operated or individual motors, which both never opened at the same time. Previous years, had a single glass cover for directional and drivng lights. Another bit is the 401. Buick decided to build two 4 bolt main 401 blocks in 65. For testing a turbo version. Back then their performance 401 produced 445 ft pounds of torque.  Its not horse power that was what they wanted.  Torque was for 6,000+ lbs worth of car when loaded. A turbo would have bumped it to 650 or so;  which ended up breaking th400 transmissions at the input shafts. GM never got that far with their 454, even though they released it with a Th400 in many cars and trucks.  The 65 Skylark GS had the dual quad performance 401cui, and the 65 Riviera GS had the dual Quad 425 cui. Though in 64 before the GS badging was introduced, the performance 425 could have the dual quad as option, without any designation on the car. A bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing.  The Riviera in the movie was the standard 401 non GS. But had plenty of power on its own to fly down the hill with authority for its demise.

Nope, a glutton for punishment. Ha!  Actually some of the sites I randomly drop in at times have the not so usual troubles. Some of which are more difficult when translation back and fourth is unfriendly.  Been more of a reader, of the sites for the last 7 years.  One of which as programmer hackers. Not the sort of hackers you hear about with cyber security.  The hackers are computer hardware, in making patches or incomatible hardware functional.  I did my own hack on making a Panasonic BluRay writer for HP become a Sony through hacking the firmware loader. Once completed, it had been fully updated with full features, that were never released with stock Panasonic firmware.  After a few years the site went poof, and my hack was lost forever.  I still have some of it in my head, so the act of doing another can be done, just no reason to, since such hardware is no longer a hot item for rippers. There are a few other cool threads lost because of sites poofing. One was about my Dell 9402 Laptop.  Its one of the few with dual M.2 slots in a 14" foot print. I got it just before Corona released for 2021. The thread was about modding it with upgrades, and benchmarks.  Dell soon changed it to the Insprion 14, which is still being sold, but is inferior. One of my rants was about expecting Corona to cheapen hardware while making it more expensive. Well, I need not fear my theory being wrong.  Funny thing is all the sites that have reviews on the 9402 are after I had completed my own thread. Yet none come close. Goes to show reviews are a box of chocolates with mostly creme filled fluff.  Luckily my only surviving thread is alive and kicking. Actually gained over 10,000 views since Corona, and I had not bothered to make any updates.

So, this online tech hack stuff, this is your line of work?

Ha!  I was caught for time, and that's what it is like in my head. Everything is one.  Well never has been my line of work.  Just I can't own tech, without doing major damage. Ha!  Android made me become a hack of sorts with os mods, without messing with apps.  Android is android, as long as the version you pull from is the same and from same manufacturer, if using framework.

Example, my LG phone was a cheapy stripped version of a late version K30.  So I grabbed all the factory apps that my phone did not have, and made it into a k30.  On the other hand... the Samsung tablet I have is also a cheapy.  But some of the phones have more options. I was able to root, so I pieces parts from 3 phones to make a custom tablet that can boot into phone mode UI, for enhanced features. None the less i made some custom property files for the system. Which some of which can be done in ADB, without any edits.

Now where was I... oh... the hack wont work on Android TV, as the UI is forced into tv resolutions.  The way around the Amdroid TV box is to flash stock firmware from another tv box that is not google tv certified and use the stock firmware to allow resolution override.  You end up loosing certification keys and hardware interfaces like LAN, and Blutooth.  But tou do have more options and phone apps.  Because it is no longer certified, it comes rooted, so further customizations can be done.

I would make a fake google tv box with cheap android boxes, by changing some parameters in a few xml files, to allow google tv ui and system apps, but uninforced.  It will have framework of a phone but tv ui and all.  The great part is most all phone apps work in it, but you need to side load, because play store has to be for tv apps only.  Think of it as a google tv shell over phone.  The drawback is some tv apps fail to operate. Like Peacock.  But most all do operate. Just a bit kludgy to deal with on updating apps.

Gosh i think I got most of what zi wanted to share about assisting the foreigner with tv box, while answering question.  I am IT computer systems and hardware, for short.

I had a few things troubling me.  When troubled I am less prone to say much , as I am solitary with being an introvert. Though my mind keeps rolling along, picking away at things, while keeping my self in good spirits.

Had to pop out for a bit... too many questions, to distract my thoughts, Being side tracked is easy, at least for me.  Easily to create sentences run together with commas galore. Ha!

Well I thought of mother's day coming... and low and behold, our goverment wants to change how it is worded and used. If you really want to see me go in a tizzy, this is one thing that can blow a fuse.  Not that I rant and want to strangle the non birthing person who wants to ruin it for my mom and I.  I am as harmless as any school kid, as long as you don't give them scissors, or sharp pointy things like push pins. Ha!

So as you have probably figured it out... Mother's Day is already ruined for me... at least in mind.

How to properly address Mother's Day? Especially when we have properly worded days, and events labeled on the calender.  Like Cinco de Mayo, five days of Mayonnaise, that's where I come from... yet I don't care for the taste of it.  Again I miss out on another special day or 5 days.  Pinata whacking with a baseball bat would be fun, and probably release some tension about  Mother's Day.

Because I am not Jewish, I miss out on Hanukkah, which is 12 days, too!  Kwanzaa is a definite no, and because I am not Catholic, I miss out on Lent.  I must stop at all the special days, I have been secluded from, mostly by race.  Something is odd about that, when we have so many wanting to correct racism.  I shall move along, before I end up in an infinite loop, to never end.

Mother's Day... had to go back and read, to find where I left off.  Now I see another issue...  Mustard!  Always have some in my fridge. It goes with everything... except milk, ice cream, PB and jelly, cereal, fried rice, chocolate, cakes, cookies, tamales, tacos, enchiladas,  beans, toast, fruits, waffles, pancakes,  pesto, clam chowder, lobster, gumbo, pasta and melon... the list has been shortened some, as I had not realized until thought about,  mustard doesn't go well with everything. But most likely will surprise you, once given a try.

I have yet to tell mom that our store has pulled Mother's day cards, and replaced them with all inclusive pronoun cards. Being at her age, I feel it may make her think I bought it last minute.  Ever had a last minute shop, and find what you wanted is not stocked or in not so good condition?  Forcing you to go on a hunt, more than on a shop.  You eventually just buy some thing that sort of fits what you wanted, but a bit off.  Like looking for a few yams, and all they have is sweet potatoes. Like what the!  Did you know there is a difference?  Just like mothers and birthing persons, even though they look the same they arn't! 

Back to Mother's Day... be patient, it will come back again, if I'm quick enough to spot it, as my mind goes where it goes.  Pronoun cards! Haven't you seen them, now that they are proliferate.  Like god given name is blasphemy!  I can see it now... Some editor is saying crap, not the freaking Bible!  Replacing every man, woman, child and sinner with proper pronouns for all inclusive proper pronouns, is not what I am paid for!  Might as well rewrite the thing completely.  Like some creature that lived in a tree offered a non vegetable item, to an Alpha person, named Terri.  Terri's friend, a Beta person, named Maurice... took a bite.  As Maurice swallowed, a non binary being came to them and...  you get the picture, don't you?

Well oh, the card!  Ok, I got her a blank card for $7.00, it was of recycled paper, and no animals were used in testing.  I could have bought a ream of paper for that, and just scribbled funny stick figures and wished a happy Mother's Day.  But, you know... it has to be store bought, as a sign of caring.  Right?

So there you go, I'm completely not happy about Mother's day, knowing mom will not be as happy with a blank card.  I figured if she did not like it I can return it for a refund. Ha!

I am actually genuinely interested.  My family doesn't do cards and shit.  We'll all cynical and miserable and hate each other enough to know that's just a formality that means nothing.  So I haven't gotten a card for Mum, but are we saying that stores have taken the words 'Happy Mothers Day' of cards because of gender equality?  That's fucking insane.

A reply to all, as I am lazy. Ha!

It's easier to catch everything and reply, than to reply to each reply over and over again.
Anyway... I am a bit yank and UK rolled into one, so you may see some things I say at times done differently, than you would see as fluid yank English and proper English.

If anyone thinks they may know my father, don't try, you'll guess wrong.  If I chose one for myself. It would be Billy Connelly.  Though I take great strides not to copy much from anyone.  Maybe a wee few lines here and there, as they are unique and worth repeating.

Thanks to all with the complements.  The reason why my writing is hard to follow, is I write as it comes.  I find many sites not so friendly on posting, with a 7" tablet. I am thumb dyslexic. Ha!  I have some control with writing in my note pad, but it is limited on word count. So if I make another page, poof my thoughts go yonder.  Ha!

I admit i have to slow down, or else... previously, I tried to reply as things flowed, and had thoughts pop in that I thought I would share. But all for not, things got jumbled.  I did try to warn you all, just don't like repeating, unless I am away long enough to have some forget.

I am learning to use my return key more often.  Making many wee paragraphs or double spaced lines as I go.  Unfortunately, I tend to get aggravated by having to scroll back and forth. Then loose what ever thoughts, I had started with. So I read and get lost once more. Ha!

Like I said, I can be a Robin Williams with quick on the fly thoughts, but never can capture them as well when in public, and need no distractions when writing.

As for the madness of Woman, and Mothers, I did a wee exaggeration, just to get the point through, before some well known comedian steals the show. Ha! 

I know a few in the UK who don't do Mothers Day much as like US people, unless it's for older generations. Just popping in to take mum for lunch or dinner.

One thing that bothers me most is news, I don't trust any US media outlets.  But I do allow both to be read, as to place what I see is credible facts to keep for reference. Even back when a wee lad, I was told never trust the news, and its more so now.

Maybe I am too careful not to upset those, who read on this site, but its not my personal views, but a distortion of what I see funny about others thinking.  You must be able to laugh at your self, before you can have laugh with others.  Not many on both sides of the line are able to laugh.  Seems the world is too serious when comedians get slapped for being a comedian, or mobs have political backing.  Try having a laugh at the mobs, you can't, no matter which side you pick they will go after you.

Well I took my time... and think it covered it. Good night!

......errr....okay.

I would pay to see you perform a comedy routine, I really would. Ha!

Ha!  Like a deer in head lights!  Once in around people my mind freezes, or skips about.  Thus my quiet and short yes no answers.  Sometimes, i may not properly explain in the oath most would take. Because I may see some importance in a part of the subject and not know how to end.

Its only that writing allows for me to focus more, though when your use to your own minds speed of things, you become greatly frustrated by the slowness of writing. By the time you finish a particular part of explaination, what you indentend changes before written down.  I guess I have short term memory with thoughts. If I try to keep them all, my mind would explode. Ha!   Sort of like holding your nose tightly, while having to burp, hiccup, and sneeze simultaneously  the mid section wants to emplode while your head builds pressure.  Not the best feeling what so ever. Ha!

That wee joke I made up long ago, elementary school. Found some comedian used it, in his own way, unknowingly of its original creator... me. Ha!  So I keep it for personal perposes, when I see it fit.  I admit because I can be alone quietly, within my own thougts, I am sort of my own intertainer.  Which at times was my downfall, when making attempts at being social one on one with quiet people like me.  After a bit of exchanging the sounds of crickets, I feel compelled to say somethings, randomly.  Which sort of makes me the only one talking, and as I try to keep some interest, i feel like I am all alone.  So use to the distraction of others talking, and carrying along. It makes me feel out of place. Like why did I bother.  But that is probably how people feel round me.  Like might as well drag a street sign around,  of my outline.

Probably the main reason why the guy I wrote about in my opening thread of my experience with a demo tape.  Being the likes of trying to sell a vacume cleaner to Tuesday and Wednesday of the Adams family. Get me the hell out of here!  Ha!  One thing I do is dry humour.  Always find a bright side of life, and let it flow.  Most of the time it goes unnoticed by those too busy around me.  Not that ai spend my days in a cubicle... which I  would no mind one bit. Ha!

So no... nobody would pay, and if it they did, I would soon be handing their coin back before something gets broken. Ha!

Donno what will pop up for writing, after all, I write when I have a thought that can stick long enough.  Mostly a jumble when righting, as you all have seen earlier. That is why i hated writing and reading. In fact I had troubles passing writing skills, and was going to fail exam. My last attempt ended up being a wee essay on what ever, long done, and the topic escapes me now.  But I clearly remember writing about why I hate writing.  I guess they felt sorry, and let me pass... being that I was able to make enough legibility to feel sorry? Well that's how I see it. Ha!  Well, I am off to my day.
Title: Re: Random bits and what nots
Post by: Unknown-Comic on May 12, 2022, 07:41:22 PM
 I was not sure what to write... as this thread is about random in the moment thoughts, nothing actually thought out. Freshly from completing a poem to make some who read feel disturbed.  I do that time to time, to keep my readers from coming back. Ha!

It's true... I write just because, and when I see numbers grow, I feel claustrophobic.  Thus the need to find a hole to hide away in... until somebody fills it up, or desides to make it a public pool.

Actually when I write something, I don't do it just to piss them off, but to make them think.
Unfortunately most don't want to think, or want you to know you're a bastard for being insensitive.  Maybe they are right, but most are unable to see the point from a different view.  Not that I follow liberal or conservative media.  Just the facts are as they are, without having any emotional attachment.   Its the only way for my head to feel there is any understanding of the issue.  What ever issue that may be.

So anyway, I don't fear my soon to be released negative reviews. I can only hope those reviewers did not bring a bus load to flood me with replies. Its that the reply box is usually one or two from people I know.  But when 5 or more pop up I fear opening them, as I must reply in some way. Like I am giving them permission to continue with more.  Then there is their option to befriend me. Which sort of freaks me out. As the site posts their profile image in view with all the other bs associated with contacts messages. Which their friends look at  through their profile.  So if nobody has ever stumbled upon your writing, they can find you by 5 degrees of separation. Which can turn into infinite loops of profiles that interwine.  It's a freaking facebook!  Now that I took time to think about it, and freak my own mind out.  Should I remove all the 6 who fanned me without permission, and hope they leave me alone, by telling their followers not to retaliate. Or be lurkers and create double or triple accounts to mess with my reviews.   What the!  I came here to relax and chill, and now I am writer blocking myself into a box,  to not write at all. 

Notice the sarcasm and odd paradox of my novella of misfortune.  Self made demise.  This is a good example of my early life. Talk my way out of things before I start. Like the line goes... If you attempt anything do the job right the first time. So, as you guessed it... if  I see that I am no better than average, why bother. Saves me time and effort, and probably a lot of frustration too.

I got the weekend coming, so pissing off some will pass over.

Ha!  I am too old and use to my own existance of singularity. 

My small hole in the wall here, is to share odd free thoughts.

Right now I am thinking midterms... not on who to choose but how it will be done between the parties.  Like a conservative could win just by saying hardly anything. Like as if in a defence trial.  Without any reaction the conservative stays patiently waiting for the Democrat to finish his opening statements, before his time is to speak.  Once they have made his opening statement of being a Republican and addressing the on lookers.  The conservative, makes his opening statement.

Because the news outlets and media are liberal, I will not attempt to go against their policy of restricting freedom of speech. To make it clear and simple, without causing slaps on the wrist remarks, about making a mockery of our friendly debate.

If this was in a open forum without limitations to free speech, I would be more than happy to address all 100 pages, of my dialog, right here in my hand.  You can use our new conservative browser and open my site to browse freely, without any fear of being tracked or finding limitations with content being browsed.

As for any of my rebuttals on my part, to my opponent, I will update my site, by 6:00am tomorrow morning.

I would like to state in closing, I love America, and will do all I can to allow all American's to love it too!  Please excuse me for being short, but it is late, and not being familiar with this side of the city,  I would like to get home safely.  I know you all love to hear more, but also have a mass contingency, waiting on my lawn, for me to get home. 

Thank you very much, and listening. Have a great night!

Because I got a recent reply about the writing I made into a small conundrum for my self.  I knew it would pass, but none the less, their reply was generous enough for a reply back.  Their writing style is more literary than how I write, amd very keen on facts and open with points of view.

None the less it was a surprise.  Things are quiet late in the week, as usual.  Though until weekend is done, I dread to see any more reply notices pop up.  I fear seeing them, more than reading them, so I open them promptly, weather or not I want to reply, just to clear the notices. Ha!

I would probably write more if, the counters were broken.  It was so easy when I first started... but now it sort of smothers me, off and on.

I did see a Top Gun trailer... like many have already seen by now.  Like all my past movie reviews that are based on condensed 30 second reads.  This one too, can be condensed down to 30 seconds.  Unlike John, Kate and Sebastian (the cat) movie reviews of the Millennium.  Well here it goes...

No missiles, just guns, and if I kill any of you, the team is done.  The looser does push ups til they puke!  Watch your tail... Crap! Hurl!  Which side did he go? Crap!  Hurl!  Where is he? Where is he?  Crap!  Hurl!  Man, my nuts are freezing!  We're lost in the Siberian mountain range, near 50,000 feet!  Oh look... Not again!  This time the Russians will puke for you! Ha!

At this time you are wondering... Hey, never heard about John, Kate and Sebastian (the cat) movie reviews? Were they actually popular 22 years ago? I can't find them through Google. Do they actually exist or are you messing with us again?

Why do you all ask so many questions? Ha!  Yep at one time they did, and it was not all that spectacular, unless you are a cat.  Did not last, as I recall Sebastian had cancer and ended their reviews.

Ever feel left out... this is a pun, guys and gals.

Excuse me, what ever you are!

A pun? Yep, a pun.  Though it does have meaning.

How many times you open a door and it opens to the right?
Public toilets have paper dispensers are at the right.
Car accelerator pedals  are at the right, and manual gear shifter too!
Unless you are in the UK, where you can drive on the left and have a left handed gear shifter.  The UK still needs to work on the accelerator pedal a bit.
There are countless right hand only issues like... scissors, pin ball machine ball launchers, vending machine coin slots, keyboard enter keys, rotating doors, cardboard envelope pull tabs for opening, car exterior door handles... the list is endless!

What really bothers me is doors. You open them and when to close them on the other side, you notice the knob has switched sides.  Now that both rightys and leftys can agree on!  Though UK again has solved some issues, by placing a door knob on houses right smack in the center.

Now you wonder if I am making too much out of nothing?  Until you become left handed by the liberal fairy over night, then you will see, as you take your shower, you find left is hot, not cold!  A dangerous conspiracy if taking care of toddlers.  Scald the poor things!  Not to mention your lower bits if soap is in your eyes, and somebody had flushed a toilet.

Since I touched on Liberals... that happens to be left to you and me. They have complely ignored leftys are handicaped too!  I see so much politics about the minorities having been left out, and so much has been done. Why not fix some things for us leftys too?  Not to mention color blind people, as they too have issues.  Every once and a while a application developer will use an odd color red, and green for buttons.  Which may not be easy to distinguish for color blind people.  Especially when someone gets the bright idea to swap ok with decline, for us leftys... it does happen on rare occasions.  Maybe some rightys can agree, by it happening to them too!

So even though leftys and color blind people are minorities, smaller groups of minorities are getting more than their fair share of support.  All we ask for is proper fixes, which seems small in the whole scheme of things.  Yet you don't see us getting angry at machines and pencil / pen triangle wedgies, and force them up a teachers butt, do we? 

Just a bit tired of nothing being done, not asking to be accepted and honored for being a lefty.  God forbid, a day for leftys.  Really?

I should change my title for the subject Random Bits of Rants.  Ha!  I think my lefty humorous rant has carried over... so don't blame me for direct right to the issue, with a personal view, humor about voting.

Now that mid term voting is a problem... voting issues seems to be all messed up.  Remember Trump anyone?  Democrats blamed him for the mail system, and soon blamed that on voters rights with delays.  Ok, easy to understand... But, Obamma was the key player here.  Our huge distribution center was forced to down size, by the time Trump took office. Mail has not recovered since!

So, why are politicians not complaining now about the mail system?  It is now about other restrictions to people who find voting difficult.  Ok, I understand, but... I have been voting for some time and never had any family or friend comment about voting privileges.  Geeze!

My mom is secluded, and takes 10 days to get mail. Does she complain? Nope!  Voting can be done, at the age of 75, even when she had Corona for the 3rd time, had made it out to vote.   If someone of age just released out of hospital, can vote on their own, then what the...! 

So what does it come down to... nothing! You can turn a 1% issue into an issue for all, if you yell loud enough.  Like my rant on us disowned leftys, getting the short end of the stick.  Leftys are too quiet to be noticed, unless some smart ass says... Your holding your pen wrong!  Bastard!

If you want to make an issue... what about gas prices.  Mom must drive 30 miles to go to a voting location.  At $8.00 a gallon and on fixed income, its more of a problem, yet Democrats have nothing to say about it. I wonder why??? 

With all the ranting, I am under the impression.  If it don't exist, Democrats will make it happen  If it does exist, they deny there is an issue... like Inflation and boarder patrol.  Sorry bud, there are more wrong doings in higher places than border patrol and death by police.  After all it seems we are rampant with sexual misconduct with teachers and pupils under age.  Like let's all claim Rob Lowe defence and be public figures after taped evidence of rape on a 16 year old.  Then our educational system will look as good as Democrats claim. 

The real issue is nobody works together for democracy.  Its a war, and because of it, this voting issue will always be the politicians front line, until it becomes the Somme.

The real problem is each state is its own state, and Democrats expect all states to comply to their terms on all aspects. It's wrong!

I don't like Portland... been there and its no longer as wonderful as it once was before Obamma, nor do I like Texas, but I do respect their differences.  Each has its good and bad sides.  If democracy was allowed, Texas and Portland, would share some commonalities, instead of opposite ends of the spectrum.

I like any government that pulls the race card in disparities, and blames other states for funding what they disapprove of, while ignoring those who backed them.   So what good is it to vote when you know what they serve, is not going to be on your plate?

Might as well leave the poles open to all, in a border less society, for people who you do not know and work elsewhere, to dictate what is important for them, not the state you're in as a whole.  Problem solved, like it or not!

Probably better and easier in making voting a lottery ticket. Many poor people have no issues buying them, and the results have been the same for years. Nickel and dime prospects, and disappointment for those who really need it.

Stuck on the 1st floor and how can I get off?  Yes! elevator buttons are on the right... another thing I may remind about leftys being left out.  Now when in the UK everybody knows the 1st floor is proper.  Unfortunately here the states, it has two meanings.  Hospitals and hotels have a 1st floor, but shopping malls and muli-story buildings have ground floor as 1st floor.

Are you getting confused yet?  Well, let me help you...

When in hospital or hotel with parking, ground level is parking.  Not where you had entered from.  Like you will never get out of those buildings, if you have not parked in underground parking.

Some have Lower Level or may have Lobby.  Which really confuses anyone who is trying to make it to ground level.

Then you are at impossible odds with buildings and malls.  There happens to be no ground floor.   If you are lucky, you may find basement or parking. 

Again you are being forced to park once more!  Who in the, wants to go into the basement?  Unless you have sinister thoughts or an inquisitive little bastard, nobody in their right mind will go there.

Then again I am writing to Americans, and they see no point, but are getting confused by my royal round about of floors.  See, that is why I am confused as well.  Ground floor is where ground is... no stepping up or down to enter building.

Now try and buy a home... that will really mess with you in the UK. Most houses have more than one floor.  So don't say... what is it like on the 2nd floor? There may not be a second floor, even though your eyes see another floor up stairs. No! It is not an attic or roof access.  A 2nd floor is a 3rd floor to you Americans.  On the other hand a gent from the UK may find a realtor very disappointing.  Trying to figure out where the 2nd floor is, and finding access to the attic, if equipped. He would say bloody hell, I am not paying this ungodly price for a house with just a 1st floor!  Leaving the both of them in a state of disbelief between each other.

Confused even more?   Give me time, I will think of more.

Oh I just thought another lefty thing, being my comment on houses... what is the difference between a left handed toilet and a right handed one?  Yes, there is a difference!   Though some are universal.  Go figure that one out.  Ha!  Keep it in mind, as I let you figure it out when out and about. 

Mess with a realtor on fact checking about the house you are interested in.  Make them scratch their heads it will.  Like who in the... would ask that!

Oh, while talking about bathrooms.  Shower heads... No, now you are being Mr Smarty Pants!   We all know shower heads are universal.  Height!  That is what I am pointing out.  They have no standard.  Not one is exactly a certain height.  Go measure yours, I will wait... waiting...

Ok so you are lazy and not going to get up and walk to the bathroom just to measure a shower head.   If you needed to pee, I am sure, that would be incentive.  Most men would do both... measure height while taking a wee, to kill two birds with one stone.  No!  You're being cheeky, you bloody bugger!  I DID NOT SAY MEASURE YOUR PEE HEIGHT!  I meant like most gents, pee while taking a shower... measuring shower head height while you are there.  Got it!

Hell, I forgot what I wanted to explain, all because you found it funny, and had to give your two cents in.  See, you bloody distracted me!

Geezo, now I has it in my mind, some bloke weeing up to the 1st floor... 2nd floor for you Americans, just because I told him to measure!

Now I just thought of...  The woman up stairs taking a wee out the window, just to get back at her numpty mate. Ha! Show him where to wee!

Just had more pop into my head... sort of random, but not too far from an earlier addition.  Just before I am done for the night.

Since I still have thoughts of the battles of being a lefty, I must continue.

Theaters and big shops with double doors.  Try going through the left door.  I did and it caught my head in mid stride.  Being 3 at the time, it sort of messed with me.

Though Grandpa did not accept leftys in the house. He tried to conform me, around the same age time frame. So maybe grandpa had messed with me more so, than the door beating.

When it came to reading, I did not read because of it. Being taught to use the right hand, I kept trying to identify paragraph margins from right side.  It took a keen teacher to notice, once I hit 3rd grade.

Then came baseball. The bat did not feel right when batting. It just made my natural swing off with batting left, and at batting right, it was even worse.

Now with that, imagine masterbating.  If batting did not feel right either way, then try explaining that with a parent.  They'll look at you funny.
 
Here let me say it in a boys words...  It just don't feel right.   What do you mean it don't feel right?   I loose interest... I feel I am rubbing it wrong.  Now how is a bloody adult going to explain that one, without being accused of grooming.  This is the sort of thing, they learn on their own. Now that I am older, I think if I were told... well then, try with both hands.   I may have found some satisfaction, back then, though it may have brought some physical disappointment.

To this very day, only writing feels somewhat normal with left.  I can eat with knife and fork fine but not fully natural feeling.  Sometimes I pick the utensils up randomly after setting them down. Mostly because I get tired of trying too hard to make both fork and knife work in a perfect duet.  A switch a roo that cures it, until it hits me again.  If one is keen, they may notice it being peculiarly strange.

Now when I say leftys are handicapped, I really mean it. I see no efforts being made to confront the issue and make it easier on them.

What freaks me out... well one thing I have been very quiet about, but kept on the back burner.  Is the shoes on the header of this site.  I have those shoes, out in my garage some where.  At least something very similar to them in the same condition.  Nothing to really make a comment about ,other than they're comfy. What bothers me, every time I see the shoes, it's like who is messing with me, on subliminal messaging?  There are plenty more from DT, mostly found later when taking careful review of DT details.  Stuff I should have noted but, being the guy I am, in my Solitary Shell, I mostly just listen, without need to understand much in lyrics.  Quite the opposite to others, but that is me.  The closest think I can say without further explaination, is the Jim Carry movie, about his life being scripted.  I know the name of it, just by the time It comes to me, I be distracted by... keeping focus... staying with the flow...  TRUMAN!  I think its that?

This is not the only site that has made weird vibes. The site I hold my my writings, is often confused for a social dating site.  Which does not bother me, since ignore friend requests.  It is that the site posts new comers for the day along in my profile.  Like every day a new set of faces that ai have no clue to who they are, are right above my few acquired followers.

Followers of which survived for 2 years now, but the first 3 I removed the day I obtained them, which was my 2nd day of writing.  Like that is some scary crap!  And even more scarry when I ask my friend of 10 years to come along and post and share writings... to find they two got the 3 bastards that tried to ride along my profile as followers.  I soon got her to drop them like a bad habbit.

After time,  I noticed, I had acquired a few foreigner females of a certain age.  It did not bother my friend, but out of kindness, I let them be, since they really never bothered me with any contact with comments.  I think they wanted to increase their profile followers.  Like it's some badge of honor, to have so many followers you cannot find the end of the list. Ha!

Actually one of my first followers was just like that.  But they had been around for 10 years writing, and accumulated more than I would feel happy about, if it happened to me.  Thus my quick... removal of any follower that is new to the site.

Which made me write a lot of things to make anyone who reads, not bother.  A Scrooge of sorts, as I need no recognition.  Purely of my own amusement, as if I captured a though to look back on.  Which amazes me, when I look at a 2 year old writing, and see the fragment, and wonder how close I was to the reality I have now.

No! I do not think like a 2 year old!  Who let the smart ass bastard in, from my previous entry! 

There are times I get complements from the higher achieved writers, and don't mind them.

But then again, my Dust Bunny writing would make any 2 year old laugh and want more.  Yeah, I have some serious weed enabler humor that bends to the LSD trips of the 70s.  Though, nothing like Alice Through The Looking Glass.  Much shorter for any child to read without loosing interest.  In fact it goes pretty fast, like the thought that created it.

There has been a lot said for that book, almost could have been banned if parents actually read it.

Crap, I just realized, I justified the bloke's comment that I can identify with a 2 year old!

I can hear him now, off in the distance, saying... What do I win if I can wee on the ceiling while standing in my shower?  Hey, any extra points, writing your full name while doing so?

I will fix him... Sure, just tell your woman to be witness.  Once she sees him doing it, he'll get it coming before he finishes his first name!

Hey, while your at it,  write her name too!  I am sure that will go over very well. Ha!

Well I do tend to put all the good bits near the end.  Mostly to see if anyone is paying attention, and has followed along.  Sort of like what goes in my mind, random bits, that get triggered from something else.

Don't worry if you feel lost, I know where I am going.  I never asked anyone to follow.

As long as you stay behind me,  only one of us is lost.  Now, how is one to figure out who's lost and who's not?  I have felt lost, but never gone anywhere at all.  Sort of being online of sorts.  Weird, another troubling thought. They just keep popping up, time to time.

Here is another quick thought, after baby madness and UK having child protection services go bonkers,  by poor administration under cuts, and procedures done by 2nd year staff.   The trigger is baby... my mind filled in the rest.

Quality of life... That phrase has always made me think.  What is this quality, in the first place? Ask anyone and they will come up with their own interpretation.  Quality, is a set of standards, to meet or exceed manufactures requirements.  Basically is what you get, on an advert page about auto parts.  So when a politician states 'Quality of life', they mean a set of standards.  Ok, I get it.  Though, the quality of life I expect, is not of their set of standards.

Example, health care.  Seems to me, the quality they say we get, is sugar coating.  As long as this quality they speak of has a benefit, of sounding good, is all that matters. 

What it boils down to is, replacing skills or procedures with non liability to any error, under administration and insurance demands.

I have nothing against tech, outside of the buginess of OS, product support, user manuals, and untrusive knowledge of you and your life.  It has made our lives more busier than it ever has been before tech invaded.  I remember, the big push was to make life simpler.  Thus the push for better Quality of Life.

Ha, what a load of bull!

Let me explain...  let's say we have this new fangled tech called the Super Circumcision Blaster Deluxe, to do 10 babies at once, without any undo distress.  Just load them up on conveyor and before you know, your done!

Being the latest tech made in Taiwan, a bit of training is required use such a device.  It may give question, by adding costs for something any doctor can do... but look at the quality of life, for the babies.  Speed and precision, while not loosing any important bits, from human error.

Let's say the same company makes a series of designer models to integrate,  match and coordinate with your operating theater.  Even the control panels have common interface. The only differences are the model name and how they are used.  Just place patient on conveyor belt and it will feed them through, to be scanned, analyzed and minor automated surgery.  A time saving, cost cutting, and quality a life improving service. 

Let's say the system update randomly does an operation that was not selected. It usually happens, like clock work, when in use, and never when performing system checks or being trained.

Just wait, in the not so distant future, some guy will be sorry, as his quality of life, has quickly become complicated.  How?  All he wanted was a few skin tags and raised moles removed from his neck and back, for his betterment of, Quality of Life.  A simple in and out patient procedure.

Doctor scans his body and marks all the areas of removal.  Presses the button and with in a minute, the patient has a perfectly circumcised set of fingers on both hands.  The poor bastard can't call his insurance, because he has no finger prints to unlock his phone.  Imagine his Quality of Life now!

He should have had his daughter watch, How to freeze off skin tags, on YouTube.  Thinking how tech has simplified our lives.  A total waste of resources, and limited his daughters learning skills, or removed any chances of her deciding, on a glorious future of skin tag removal.  Yes, the poor guy has a ruined Quality of Life, but also his own daughter's.  She could have made hundreds of thousands,  with a side hustle, Freeze A Tag, YouTube channel.

Just look at the Dr. Pimple Popper's popularity.  Probably making more on YouTube than in her first year of practice.

Now all he has to look forward to is his daughter saying ewww when she sees his fingers.  She will never wave hello or goodbye to him, in front of friends again.  No more handing out Halloween candy, for him. I can just see his Quality of life becoming a life crisis.

So there you go.  Quality of life is all relative to where you sit.  Managed or micro managed to the point of quality only meets the needs of the institution's standards, not the people they represent.

Ha! Just popped in my head... A broken system's primary function is built on cost effective quality of service. It can only be fixed to properly provide, when going broke is still an option.

 Ever feel like somebody is messing with you, just because they have nothing to do?

Texas is miles away from me, and because I live near Chicago, the contrast is between night and day.  Yet people around me fear Texas.  My feeling is like Las Vegas, what happens there stays there.  Yet, here I am wondering if Portland, Chicago and Los Angeles  have annexed Texas, Florida, Alabama, and other states.

Basically I don't want their problem to become my problem, and visa vera.  I consider myself a conservative liberal.  Nothing wrong with it. As long as I take my liberal ways and keep them to myself, everyone is happy.  Get it?

So if a car moves from three lanes to make a turn in front of me... that is a normal turn in IL.  Sort of like California stops, just slow and go.  Stopping like that has become nation wide. It should be renamed an American stop. Unless you are from India, honking like a roach coach on lunch time rush, while making a stop or turn or entry into traffic.   Oh got side tracked.  So if a car does some stupid shit like that...  I gladly give them a liberal amount of honking and a middle finger.  If they pull a gun, I quickly run their car off the road. Not many realize the difficulty of having to turn hard with one hand on the wheel.  Making over correcting an under statement on an irritated driver.  It's good to have taken a defensive driving coarse, it comes in handy, especially now these days.

I highly recommend it.

In a way i can't help laughing at my fellow liberals as much as the conservatives.   Though liberals don't seem to find very many conservative actions funny. They rather make fun of the conservative. Thinking about it, it's a bit hurtful, unlike what liberals say about conservatives being reptilian.  I think because I am not so angry, I don't go after any more trouble than what falls in my lap. To me it's a waste of energy.  There is plenty to laugh at, that you don't have to poke and needle to make fun of.

I think I explaind how annoying IL people are with cutting through and saying excuse me as they walk away. I have been trying to counter, but it seems to be a no win situation.  They are soon gone before a reply can be made. Eventually I will figure a nice way to get back at them.  While shopping, shoving a cart into their butt seems easiest and effective, but will cause an altercation.

One thing I have noticed in shopping, is more women seem to know where they are going.  Number one on my annoyance list is the sudden turn around or stop as I am just about to move behind or go around.  It's a bit startling. After 10 or more random instances, I still am not able to get over the shock.  It literally stuns my thought processes. I eventually end up with half of what I came to shop for, at best.  Once I had the same woman do the turn around  and sudden stop on me, within 20 seconds time. I kid you not!  I am not sure if I actually bought anything.  Just remember the shock and fear of finding her at an isle  intersection, while purposefully evading any opportunity.  I racked my brain trying to eliminate a cause to such occurance.  Too many isles are narrow now these days.  I blame Corona for women, being more aware now.  So I can say Corona has been my saviour, and have yet to have any issues with such actions while shopping.

Gosh, I have made another royal round about... I was explaining liberal conservative me. For me the thoughts shared are quick fragments that run into each other.  By writing them out, I sort of make it understandable by others.

In closing... moderation to the mount of liberalness, allows more to be spead about before wasting it.  Sounds like some thing like,  applying KY jelly when needed, or the hazzards of Bengay cream.  Not to mention eating chocolate EX-Lax too, or squrting Visene in someones drink.  Being a bit more conservative than liberal comes in handy.

I admit not everyone will get my humor.  It's like wearing my golf shirt that has cute little aliens all in random order. To those who are keen to notice. It's actually 'Oh Shit' in hand writing in mirrored form from the bottom horizonal.   If anyone would know... and lived in the 80's OP (Ocean Pacific) pants also would be worn, to complement.  Ha!

This one is sort of my style in turning something inside out.  I think it is clear, but you may need to read twice to see my humor with self distruction.  My own personal battle to keep good from being ruined.

Lost and found...  after time, something you feel is lost, pops up again.

I tend to reflect on good things that I have noticed through my lifetime.  Not that I directly pull them up because I miss them, or find difficulty in letting go.

For me every memory is mostly not lost at all, so many variances in each, that each one is appreciated.  Though, if I dig deeply enough, I get so confused by the last moments.  Which are haunting enough to spoil the good, if I try to figure them out.  One reason why I don't try figuring people out. Not all are not as simple as I, when seeing the natural beauty of things.

Natural beauty is often misunderstood.  We hardly know what natural is any more, now these days.  Natural is GMO, or is a nice addition of organic substances.  Both are fake, never existed, before mankind has tampered, but luckily for us, is still concidered natural.

I guess two faced people are just as natural. They seem good through and through, but some things inside are a bit off.  In some ways, it's a natural beauty about them. A beautiful piece of work, to some.

Albino people are unique, yet most people seem to ignore their beauty.  The only popular albino person I can recall is Edgar Winter.  A natural occurring beauty, but unnatural enough for most, to want to notice.

Designer pets are one to make you wonder.  Munchkin cats are popular, but in a natural occurrences in the wild, they would not survive.  Until we accept purposefully altering our genetics to make people with 1 foot length arms and legs, I will be more than happy to accept... for such cruelty to an animal. Yet they are considered natural, and people want them enough to pay.

This natural crap is starting to wear me thin.  To the point of not wanting to see natural beauty anymore.  My own brain, just now as I wrote, has killed it for me. Unlike allowing the many people, who I once enjoyed ignoring indifference.  In putting aside any negative feelings, just to appreciate their bits of natural beauty. 

Now their ugly surrounds me.

Who cares if you happen to have a beautiful smile and pure white hair.  When I only see... a gap between teeth, and the dead appearance, of white eyes, that chill my very soul, when daggers are forced deep into my back.  Forever gone is such natural beauty.

Democracy... I have tried to explain how convoluted our thoughts are on the subject, and to only get labeled as a Trumpet.  I find it amusing, and sad.  Sad that so many are 100% or bust, with their democracy of sorts.

Being liberal has its perks.  A conglomerate of minority sub cultures.  As long as you have a voice, someone will hear you.  Ever listen to your own voice?  I do it constantly.  Its a part of me that is more real than reality.

In fact my voice is as diverse as any Liberal.  Yet unlike a true Liberal my voice is united.  Being that for every thought from one side, gets another thought from another side. Instead of conflict, each side agrees 50% and moves along, allowing something else to pop up.  I have agreed to mediate my thoughts, without much stress and effort, while allowing myself to be free from the cyclic cycle of a Hamster wheel.

So when you think of democracy, it's not how many are counted, its how well mediation is done.  Proof from my cat!

He is of an average cat.  Has no care in the world for politics and prefers to clean his own ass than to listen about it.  Maybe if you are lucky, he may give his opinion with a hairball, or fresh poo in the bath tub, for you in the morning.

His needs are simple.  Feed me now! Wake up, you must he up!  Excuse me, I must be in your face!  Acknowledge my presence!  Being that his brain power is small, in comparison of the average human being, there will be no jaded views from him. To prove democracy with brain function, I used cat food.  I selected 3 brands of cat food, of various flavors.  Some are paté, flake, and some odd mixed bits with gravy.  $10.00 of various stinky substances.  Cat food can be expensive, if you are to do a taste test.  So I recommend cheap, for scientific study.

My studies are more realistic to general population than what most believe,  and what has been proven under Corona.  I won't go there... It will decimate your beliefs in modern science, that is being pushed upon you by political means.  My cat is a strong non-political being.  He cannot be bought nor swayed by status.  Bribery by cat food, is limited by his needs, not yours.  He'll play you, into thinking you are getting your way with him. I say good luck sucker!

I quickly found that half of what I purchased, he obviously disapproved of. Some he would run away from. I labeled it Trumpy Delight.  Another ended up being a favorite.  I labeled it Obama Care, being my cat is black and wanted representation.  Don't ask me how he became aware of his rights,  he can care less about todays media.

I mixed in 80% Trumpy Delight with 20% Obama Care, and he barely inched forward to his bowl.

I pushed the mixture to 35% Trumpy Delight with 65% Obama Care, and was able to get a sniff and snort, with a paw to nudge the bowl, as if he thought it would change its smell.

So, I tried 50/50.  This time he casually took a few bites... enough to pass his hunger, and walked away.  Eventually at the end of day, the bowl was emptied.

There you go, a cat can allow for democracy with equality between two differing sides.  I am not sure why humans can't see the point. But if we took a near 50/50 stance to grow from, perhaps the next time an issue comes around we can progress further, than to fight for entire patches of land, like Russians. 

I guess it's like this...  way back I was given Codeine for pain meds.  I am one that is a light weight, mostly because l live my life away from drugs, drink and smokes.  I find very little tolerance to feeling any more different to what I have grown to feel comfortable about my self and wellbeing.  I like to stay comfortably normalized all the time.  Anything that changes  how I feel, is only accepted if it lasts about a minute or two.  Long term, causes distress, the longer it lasts.

Any way, because I weighed the pain level I endured,  with taking a pill, to get some sleep... I found that meds like Codeine can effect people, who like me, don't like feeling out of their head.  To cut away what makes them who they are, in thoughts.  If you are use to a mix of thoughts running about in your head, and find it more subdued after meds, you may feel out of place, and lost. Thus a relapse from lack of effort in keeping up with meds.

For me on the Codeine trip, was the fact I woke up believing I literally needed to reboot my brain.  I just needed to press the reset button at the base of my skull.  I knew better, yet inside, I was hell bent in thinking of it.  Luckily the pain meds had worn off soon after I woke, but it made me think how some are effected by drugs to correct mental issues.  The good and bad effects involved, makes for no calm in-between for most.  Sort of a lack of balance, for a justifcation, while suffering by another cause.  Our political democracy has become that bitter pill.

It's not funny... in the light of all the accusations and bad mouthing.  It's not the act of violence, that is the issue.  It's a failed system.

Back in the 80s violence was part of East Alisal and with in El Sausal Middle School, that were of common gang violence, around and after school.

It was as common to hear jokes around it, as much as the term going postal.

Back when in high school, I had my turning point.  I had plenty of credits to graduate without finishing the last 3/4 of my senior year, use them, I did!

Everything I saw in the last two years alienated me.  One teacher had the gall to say I will be seeing you next year.  At first I thought he assumed I was a sophomore, but after thinking about it, he knew all the grades of his students.

It did not bother me, but oddly the reporting me to a counselor, without explanation started the ball rolling.  I was furious at the fact I was pulled out of the only elective I enjoyed that was not college prep related.

Like I am in college prep classes, and now you think I am a problem? Excuse me!

To be honest the amount of training a teacher and a counselor are required does not reflect their abilities to effectively understand students who are not like 80% of the class. To them they are trouble makers, slackers, and just there for the ride.

Why waist of effort on their part, yet actions are dictated by procedures given by school board and administration. 

The problem was communication, I was not a good communicator face to face, and how their actions to help, became a way to enabling defensive shell around me.

It showed in college with an instructor that challenged my abilities, because I did not see much challenge with the coarse work.  I clearly got high grades on my work and exams, but he took it on him self to lower them to D standards . I could not pass with a D, and instead I walked out.  Had no trust with educational system, other than their rules are always against me.

I cooled off and took the class again with another instructor. It delayed my graduation another 4 months, but I did not care.

Many do things differently than I, and have resorted to violence as a means of retaliation.  But for what ever the result, it is how the seed is planted that forms the weed.

I know many will protect the institution because they know it does good.  But in reality every institution has its dark side.  The management.  We all have seen it. Where a manager can make or break you, in a world of  protecting your ass.  You can write a letter of resignation, to clearly state why.  Yet management will always have an upper hand.

Same rules as before, but played with grown ups.  Some just commit suicide, at the office, to place their resignation... some go postal.  I have seen a few, and like with schools, it gets swept under the rug, as a personal issue.

I see a lack of accountability and because of it, irresponsibility with those placed as superiors, when it is there job to understand those who they are responsible for.  Many have gotten by with patting each others backs, and making good argument, while passing the buck to root failure.

Food value...  I always had an internal scale on food value. I started when I was very young.  Back when candy could be had finding a glass bottle or two around bridges, parks and construction sites.  Quickly I learned an items weight, size or content can be worth more than its price.

Example, Zots did not last as long as a Jolley Rancher, given the size was about the same. A Snickers bar had more food value than a 3 Musketeers bar, even though the Snickers bar was smaller... back then.  Now the 3 Musketeers is almost the same size.

If not sure about food value, your tummy will tell you. Yet people tend to spend big money on low food value items.  Example Air Pops and Rice Cakes. Might as well by a king sized Snickers and feel satisfied, than go around hungry all day, after eating 6 servings and inhaling all the broken off pieces, from the bottom of the bag of puffed air items.

Fish or chicken?  Price per pound don't equate to food value.  Fish is 75% water. I bet anyone one who has eaten 1.3 lbs of fish will be hungry by bed time. It don't happen with same amount of Chicken.

Baby formula, and whole milk.  Being a bit more difficult to find whole milk now these days, almost as scarce as baby formula, even though it is still available.  Whole milk is more nutritous than  powdered formula.  Lasts in the child's gut longer too.  Also you can water it down to get more food value out of it.  That reminds me of 1% milk... just like the label says, 1% milk, and the 99% is water.  The 1% is to add the effect of milk in your glass.  Yet people again paid good money for something they could have done rinsing out the empty milk jug into a glass for them selves.

So, in the long run of food value,  always buy doughnuts from a bakery, they give you 13 in their dozen.  Stores sell only 12 in a box.  Even better get the week old, and dunk in coffee or tea, to soften them up. Unless they have blue tented icing.  DON'T EAT ANY BREAD TYPE ITEM WITH BLUE ALONG THE EDGES.

Also take time to smell, even if you must poke through the nice clear plastic sealing wrap. While you are at it, place finger under the wrap and feel the texture.  If slimey or smells bad, place it back and select another.
Even though the item is discounted by expiration date, it probably will be better to just pick their dumpster and get it for free. Which makes a better value.

If lucky enough to find old chocolate from Xmas or Valentines day.  Don't worry chocolates don't go bad. They can last years on end, even though they get powdery coated looking.  I have eaten a whole bag of kisses, from 5 years back, and not found any ill effects from eating them.

Though ice cream don't do well.  After discovering a pint lost in the back of the freezer, it was not so good. Even if you break away all the ice crystals, the ice cream is hard and dry.  I doubt adding hot water won't revive it, unless you think it will better as a drink.

15 year old macaroni and cheese is the same as new from the store, unless the product has been recalibrated with nutrition facts to feed a small family of dwarfs.  Or have replaced a food ingredient that can cause cancer.  My feeling is if the product has not killed me, from eating tonnes back in the 70s, what makes them think I will die from their product now?  Kind of like when M&Ms were pulled in the 70s for Red#5 or what ever it was. Not one child died from M&Ms before it was pulled, and returned as a different red in the 80s.  I figure you would need to feed nothing but red M&Ms to a child every day til they turn 20 to see a cancer form, if they don't die of sugar poisoning.

Back to food value... it seems more often now, that instead of raising prices they short you on product.  Like Charmin bathroom tissue... notice a sheet is not as wide as it was before Corona?   I watched Snickers become smaller and smaller since the 80s.  Even fun size has shrunk.  Which to me cheapens Halloween for children.  They must go to 25% more houses to get the same amount of food product than what I use to get.

Even McDonalds and Burger King are skimping on products. So the food value that you have come to loved growing up, is now pretty packaging and a nice smell inside.  $20 of value is just a recollection of a valued memory.

Actually I had posted a short story about what I had experienced early in my lifetime, about what I think was my introduction to Majesty's early years.  I figured of all sites available,  it was fit to share here.

From the interests of others, I made this thread.  Though I admit, I never expected any to reply, and in knowing I am allowing myself to write without having to proof read and loose my thoughts as they come...  a bit effortless.  Some of which are not captured, by how fast I thumb type.

From what I see there are many different topics, some of which are long running, and very active... which I can get lost in trying to follow, or mess up its format with my thinking. I don't do well with following multiple replies that run together.

My thread, was to allow my random thoughts to what ever, without a particular format to follow.  Without worry about any policing by me.  Some may not care, but a few may find interesting enough to read.

This is not my primary focus, as I have other sites I frequent.  As the title states, random thoughts and what nots.  I think that all sums up why I pop in time to time.

Of all things...

Had worn my brain out, on  dual mini discussions that ended up longer than expected.  Something that happens more than I like. As I have to explain, more than I like.  Again my simplistic choice of words, based on everything, makes such occurences a never ending battle.

Thus my lack of explaining or going into the discussion.  But will give a general example about something everyone should have an understanding about , both from a personal level and from others they have known. 

Ice cream, Captian Crunch, and Sour Gummy Worms... now you probably think WTF, he is going to generalize that with everything?  Yep, but its my perception in generalizing, as everyone is different, and you may generalize with  puppy dogs, cactus fruit, and chewing gum, as your own preference.

Like some people are vanilla ice cream. Which are basic and simple enough to accept. Then if you mix in a bit of Captain Crunch, they can be a bit harsh, even though you enjoy the soft and comfortable feeling of the sweet coolness along your tongue as you bit into the harshness of aerated grout chunks with a touch of peanut butter flavor.  Leaving you a bit raw and hurting after a few spoon fulls.  Seen a few people like that, but then you have the gummy worm type. Sweet an innocent until all the sugar coating is gone, leaving you with gummy sourness that won't go away.   People, cars, vacations or life in general can be generalized with my selection.

Everything seems simple at first, but soon messed up with 10 gummy worms or a cup of Captain Crunch.

For others the puppy dog,  cactus fruit and chewing gum seems the better option.  Cuddly and playful, full of joy and always at your side.  Until you must pick up what is not the chewing gum you thought, discovered on the floor. In fact the kids will look at you as if you picking cactus fruit.  Don't daddy!  Stop stop!   You think you did right but you realize that fresh warm oozing feeling at your finger tips, is the equivalent of the chewing gum, that has stuck to you.  Bringing on more  EEEEEEW, NO DADDY!  As you try to detour to the bath room, to flush it away.  Yes, people are that way.  Prickly pears they are, and squeeze the living shit out of you, if you annoy them.   It's like you stuck a piece of freshly chewed chewing gum in their hair.

None the less anything can be generalized, it so happens people are more likely to fit in the picture.  Cars can too, especially when buying one.  Never fails to buy that puppy you always wanted, only to find out some body lined the front seat with cactus fruit, just for you. So every bump you hit, you feel it, sticking you sharply in the ass.  Problem is, you got suckered and you are stuck with payments.  Just like the slightly used chewing gum stuck in your hair.  Then you realize you have the need to squeeze the living shit out of the car salesman, that sold you the car.

Perhaps you should have generalized with my perceptions... but, I don't think Captian Crunch would feel any better being pulled out of your ass.  At least a prickly pear will give some relief, soon after its removal.

Intestinal fortitude... the ability to shit bricks big enough, to make all that watch, look in awe.  Ever hear of that definition?

Probably not, only I think of this shit...  mostly when I am listening to others talk.

Not often you hear intestinal fortitude in a sentence, but 42 sounds like fortitude, as for intestinal... infinitesimal, or interracial may kick of a quick spark at recovery of memory.

Listening to myself can go into many directions, because I pick at words and distort them badly mad.  Because of it, I am never bored, and can cause issues with too may all at once talk around me.  That can be of intestinal fortitude, to deal with group convo... not to destroy  word meanings, but to actually follow every person's comments and what not. This is with people who I don't know jack from,  around a crowded concessions stand.

When I hear intestinal, I think shit... meaning a nice way to mean you need to take a shit.  Oh, by the way I am having an intestinal disagreement... yep, you must find a toilet pronto! 

Oddly enough.. to shit bricks, has a meaning of being scared.  Actually it would take a lot of fortitude, to take on a massive shit, in front of friends, family and innocent bystanders.  I stongly doubt, unless you are an infant, that you will make such attempt to do so, even with intestinal fortitude.

Being scared in a crowd, yet able to muster a great poo of unnatural size, would actually cancel both each other out, in their combined meaning. Which is an odd paradox of two words used to mean something of great courage.

If I feel alien to those around me, it's because they are alien to me. Intestinal fortitude just to remove any alien feeling, is like taking a poo while they watch.

Air fryer... Today, where I live, has been hot and humid, with blowy winds.  Reminds me of air frying, in a small way.  Tomorrow should be a cooker, being in the 90's.  So with the weather being as it is, reminded me of the air fryer.

Today's air fryers are pretty much the same thing sold way back when, under the RONCO name.  They usually crapped out on you within a year.  They were cheap and sold on TV.  That is when you can order a TV item and not pay for it until delivered. It was called COD, and done with UPS at the time. What kind of deal is that?! Just make sure you have cash on hand when they deliver. Sounds like a home delivery pizza or Door Dash. 

No credit, no problem... geezo!  The old commercial of Paul at the Diamond Store, just flooded my brain. You got to search for one on the net... be sure to smoke a choice bud before watching.  The guy is cheesy sleazy.  Just like the Hesket Carpet Warehouse, in the 70s . The place got shut down, for money laundry and schemes. In fact all the cheesy sleazy local commercials  were shut down for bad business practices.  Like they were a side show from the porn industry.  Probably were, as porn always had connections.

Back to RONCO, it will sell anything that can fit on a tv commercial slot no matter what time of day.  Oh, air fryers... at one time an old lady (like the 3 Wendy's where's the beef, old ladies... but not) would pawn off the new improved stackable cyclone air fryers. She was at one time the sandwich lady, with a heated sandwich grill, that would nicely grill pocket any food item inside two slices of white bread.

Stuff a weiner in a biscuit  and close the lid. Poof!  Hot dog!  A strange as shit looking hot dog, but a hot dog none the less.  What got me was dumping pie filling on bread to make turn overs. Probably tasted like the worst turn over ever, yet sure looked like a turn over.  She proved you can grill a pocket food item out of anything edible or not!

Anyway back to air fryers...  they are way over priced now.  Try buying one.  They now have more than one option to cook.  Like all I want is an air fryer, not a freaking toaster oven, rotisserie, smoker, air fryer, with air popper attachment.  No wonder it costs as much as it does.  Now I can see an old woman placing her freshly washed poodle to air dry it, just like back in the late 70s, with microwave ovens.  Roasted in 2 minutes or less.  Don't worry i doubt she will try and pass off rotisserie smoked poodle for lunch, to the firemen that stopped by, after neighbor called for strange smells and smoke coming from kitchen.

I think I will stop now on the air fryer.  I have a hungry but sickening queasy feeling.  Like its dinner time, yet I am ready to fill my plate at any time.
That is another odd thing with simultaneous reactions.

Another is while having a bad case of hiccups, in holding your nose to stop a sneeze, while holding your breath for stopping hiccups, and having to belch, while forgetting you finished speed downing a Fosters.  I don't want to be near who ever does it.  It does not seem possible, but the outcome could be devastating. Think of the pressure build up. Your ear canals are too small to compensate. Outside of blowing out your ear drums, and forcing your brain to push your eyes out of their sockets, the only path is through your ass.  A simultaneous implosion-explosion of intestinal fortitude.

Glad you liked it... I invented that one back in the 80s, just refined it a wee bit.
Since I try to link each reply, by including a subject from the previous reply. So intestinal fortitude was a late addition with my thoughts running together.  I figure if my version does not infiltrate the minds that read my reasoning in previous reply, this one will at least imprint it with the paragraph.

I had to limit the shitty part of my previous reply, from being a continuation. Right now the world is shit, being I am greatly distracted by all things shit right now.  I could very well cover my thread in shit, or take enough Pepto Bismol to clog every artery, vien and pore, to stop any shit in it's various forms from being excreted.  I rather have a giant crap storm, than to eventually explode from 800 pounds of shit being built up.

Most likely, the headlines will say... Mass killing by shit bomb.  Suspect took out 5 familys on his block, with a massive shit bomb attack, on a quiet Sunday morning. The athorities have no leads to the suspect's where abouts, since the day before.  Suspect has seemed to have completely vanished.

You sound shitty about that.  A pain in the ass though I guess.

Don't blame me for farting in your general direction. Seating at the rear can be excruciatingly painful.  Especially when wearing a butt plug.  Nor will it not make it sound any better.

You do have an option to wear ear plugs, if you are annoyed. Can't help the open to the air seating issue.  Maybe I should invent improved distancing seating, with porta potty enclosures. Just need to install speakers and wire them into the PA system. This way all shitty sounds and fowl smells are isolated and enjoyed by the the occupied participant. There may be enough room for a canned beans and beer dispenser.  It amazes me to how much spacious room they provide, for just to shit and pee in.

Gosh, that just reminded me of my cousin... he is well known for farting. Once he made a friend puke in his truck on a freezing night home.  Perhaps I will take in account barf bags , to add to the list.  Problem is people may bag a decent poo for making flaming poo door ditching, on the guy in the adjacent porta potty, when bord waiting in their port potty for more content to develope.  If bored, I may have to take in account some reading materials.  I think there can be a few magazines placed in a rack on the back side of the door.  Problem is what material fits the fan base.  At least one porno, a comic, Better Homes and Garden... nono... Guns and Ammo,  Scientific American, and a fan favorite... Proctology and You.  Then at least two would need a Vaseline dispenser.  This porta potty make over is getting expensive to create.  I may have to make a double wide porta potty, just to fit everything needed.  Might as well have seating for two, to share the experience.  Then I would need a condom dispenser for a couples night out. Then the much needed railing for their activities, and the handicaped.  There is way too much shit being done with just a simple idea.  All I need is some smart ass to beat me to it.  Then there will ve war.  I am sure some body will sue, once a competitor goes around tipping port a pottys.  Guy embeds gun up his ass, from customized porta potty tipping.  Guy smothered by feces, duringca double wide porta potty tip.  The possiblities of being sued are endless with a fully loaded porta potty.  I doubt any insurance will cover it.

Abnormalized...

I never really thought much about people early in life, especially in comparing them or identifying much with them.  I am an enigma of sorts. A bit of an alien, when such matters are brought up.

Just to give a brief example, so you can see how different I am, as to abnormalize my way through normalization.

You already know my left handed issues, but there are plenty more, in which makes me abnormal to just about abnormal anyone I could come accross.  So here is my brief list of abnormalities, which makes it impossible to identify with others...  lack of showing emotions, color blindness,  slightly autistic, slightly dyslexic, slightly ADHD, no greedy, no selfishness, no anger, and a strong dislike any thing that effects my normalized self... meaning if anything that effects me out of my own existence, I refrain from taking part.  Example, will try my best not to take medications, if side effects are bother some. Which many do bother me.  Those are the primaries, but I still have many.

Oddly enough as a point before skipping the thought... i cured some of my AHCD and dyslexia by using a tablet for 10 years. Thumb typing and auto replace became such an annoyance,  that it broke me from correcting many mistyped or autocorrected words.  I just leave them be, because i have other thoughts that need no distraction.  So as a wee fix for peeps like me, try my method to become normalized with being imperfect. Ha!

As for some secondaries.  I have very dry skin over 90% of my body, which to me is perfectly normal.  What annoyed me is every time I had to hold hands in school activities, I felt creeped out with clammy soft hands.  Who knows, if my hands creeped them out as much, in comparison. Ha!   Oddly enough, I look fairly normal all my life, as to not get mocked about skin issues or what ever. Also I look about 10 to 15 years younger than I am.  Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp have nothing on me.  I am not vain enough to deal with beauty what nots, but there you go. Mostly because I was a super slow grower once I hit 12.  My cousin took steroids in high school because he was like me.  It never bothered me, as I thought it was normal, until high school. But it never bothered me then, nor while being an adult.  Mostly because most adults around me, acted just like they were, back in high school. Again very annoying.   I guess I got very annoyed at normalcy, more than being abnormal in a non conforming world.

The biggest annoyance was the only relationships I found before my 33rd birthday, was with 21 year olds. Not that I hung around night clubs for 18 and over. Ha!  Just they congregate around me in a peculiar way.

So I ended up knowing right away, my mind would explode, if I kept believing things would catch up. Everything else with people in general, were better off being acquaintances. Too much drama for me, when I had perfect normalcy with out being dragged into their termoils.  I guess, if I dwelled on all my issues, I would be just as insane. Unable to move beyond being sad or angry.  God forbid, I become overly happy... there has been times, but quickly taken away, like a rug pulled under feet.  So, my big hint at life... never allow yourself to assume and expect great things to happen to you.  The greater the gain, the greater the pain.  I see too many trying to achieve in finding what they achieved is a deep emptiness.  I guess you can say I am a slacker. In reality I achieve without great effort.  For every achievement, I can always move from there.  Unlike falling into the pit of despair.

If I had a clear handicap, I would be part of something. But I am a perfect, fully functional, abnormal person.  Not that my mind is abnormal in that I am all Helter Skelter inside. Just see so much in a different way.  If you remove greed, hostility, selfishness, and look at what is the issue at hand, you find yourself, just like me, in being in lacking compassion.  Yes, you can be seen as  an uncompassionate person, because you toss out your own feelings to find a key issue, that one may find fault with.  Like it or not, your answer will just piss anyone off, when they have underlined issues based on anger, or greed, or selfishness, or a mix of there of.  Yep, I can piss off Liberals, and Conservatives equally just by saying... Shooting Blanks Saves Lives!  I can see it now, banners everywhere, bigger than 'Black Lives Matter'.  It's the honest truth, but nobody wants to agree. Which is the point with democracy,  today's fairness to disagree at all cost.

Looking at it, the world is abnormalized, and I am just an abnormal out cast, because normal people cannot clearly define themselves as normal in any shape or form.  See, I just riled up all my estranged followers, who actually read this crap. Everyone wants to be normal, but me...  So leave me alone! Ha!

Ha!  To be honest, I use a tablet as a note pad. The app limits the note to have so many words. Most sites I have issues with posting within the text box. So copy paste is my saviour.  Also having a note pad app, helps with making content seem trouble free.  If I had used a word editor, I problably would end up making a book.  Ha!  So if you should notice my replies with a topic, they mostly all fit within a certain word count, with some addtions and edits after pasting.

As for normal... i know everyone is different. Even those who are in social communities to find people like them selves, will eventually find they are different still. Though, my point is you cannot place me within a group.  I have no hard feelings that I am unique and an a self made outcast of sorts.  Rather not go through the pain of trying to fit in. So I write with open mind, mostly unedited thoughts, take it or leave it.  Which most who are face to face with me, find it difficult, or make it seem to be.  I don't try to figure people out, as I am not a surgeon, nore like bloody body parts to look at. Brains are disgusting. Ha!

I think my issue is no matter how hard I try, I accept others like as if I am 10 years old. A sense of wonder about them, not questioning, but able to rationalize.  Unfortunately I only get the same from 10 year olds and a wee younger.  Not that I hang around them constantly.  Though I have been blamed many a time, that when I am around them, I am a bad influence to them.  I guess that is why I rather watch and listen to people than to talk to them.  Mostly because there is my own inability to have an understanding, let alone their own understanding of me.  I am not a good actor, and to be part of anything, takes a bit of pretending.  Feeling like fish out of water, to so much around me.

I have someone who understands me very well, and is trained to assist special needs people.  Not that I am all alone, in fact I have been alone most of my life and never felt so. Thus no great need to fit in or feel lonely.  So there you go... more bits to show how different I am, yet haven't pulled my insides out to show the rest.

Oh, to end my differences and to close of my 10 year old ways...  I like to look at the world through the eyes of a child.  Here have one, they come in pairs.

Just thought of that one, triggered from this reply, which goes with my Hampter / Gerbil line.  I have more some where in storage... they are usually thought up as I am triggered. Never written down, as my mind humours me, as if I have a comedy club deep in my brain.

Less is more...  Taking a massive shit will make you feel less weighty, which makes you feel more better, and allow you to eat more.  Drinking a six-pack will give you less to drink later, but give you more room in the fridge to add more, while making your drunk state even more so.  Having 30% less of a woman in height, would make you have 30% more where it counts. Having less of a memory, would give you more opportunities forget where your keys are. Having less cloths, will allow you to have more time wearing what you got, until people notice. Having less on your plate to eat, gives you more room for desert, as if a whole pie will do.  Having less to watch on TV, gives you more time to waste elsewhere...  Having less hair, allows more of you to be noticed, if your swim suite should fall clean off.  This list is almost endless... and because you like less, much more than having more, I will stop, before I am unable to stop myself, in force feeding you any more, just to see you puke, for being a smart ass.

Ha!  30% shorter is roughly 5 foot 4 inches, which makes them very small.  Not compressing or shifting proportions.  Thus making you 30% more in every way... to some gents, size matters, and that is where it counts.  Ha!

If you're not shifting other proportions and its simply height, I don't see how that really enhances the size of your cock when it comes to sex or what effect that has.

At least he sees the point of my perceptual humour.  At times it can be as childish or vulgar as one perceives.  Example...  Every time I see a child play with them self, I want to join in.  Imagine the fun of comparing each others toys.

Oh, I just remembered another, of my favorites... Ian Samuel, the well known photographer from 'London Illustrated Magazine', has been arrested in New York city.  A group of models had called the authorities about Ian's plot shoot everyone in Times Square and to blow up the city buildings, as he said in his own words... It would be absolutely smashing!

Ha!  There is one thing I do see a lot with my generalisation, some will run with a wee detail, that was never intended.  Changing the sized of a woman as in Honey I Shrunk The Kids, was my intention. Nothing changes other than sperception,  any further than 30% could make an average man too big to fit.

Thus 30% larger can be all about ones perspective. If you are quite large already, 30% may not make much difference, as with very small. Neither will fit properly for her pleasure.  Though some men would be very happy to see her eyes bulge out at every thrust.

Ha! Like I said most guys... you are obviously at the top of the curve.  Though, I get mixed results for my self.

Which satisfies them no matter how hungry they are.

 Ha!  I thought it was all the time, no matter what size.  Oh that is true, any woman below 5 foot 5 inches would be fun... but limit how much fun one can have.

Though they do make women 30% more, which I always wanted to have.  But for some strange reason I have been stuck in the 5 foot 7 inch range. Being some what tall at 6 foot 2 inches.

The few taller women that I came across, were acquaintances, and never got to know them much.  Once at a Tool concert a tall natural red head kept slam bumping into me, which annoyed me, being she had to be 20 ish, and I don't do well with first contacts.  Especially on my own. Though, the waitress at the Waffle House across my motel, had an interest, but she had a boy friend and had to be 19 at best and 20% less woman. HA!  Got to know a wee bit of her, being that I ate there every morning, for the 4 days I stayed. Only if I had stayed a few days prior my original stay, I may have offered her to go see the concert with me. As I had an extra in pocket. She was southern, and was more real than the women I would notice around me, being in the city where I lived. She was disapointed or confused, as to my answer, to why I stopped at that particular Waffle House every day... being my reply was short and simple, being truthful... my motel is across the street. HA!  Little did I know, there were 3 Waffle Houses along the street. In Georga, expect to see a Waffle house within mile of each other. A slight exaggeration. Ha!

Seems like most all the women I have known were acquaintances of sorts.  The few women that did move from acquaintance to girl friend took about a year.  Proving my motto... the worst impression, is the best impression.  As things can always be better the next time around. Ha!  That only works if they are around long enough for a second impression. HA!  That one is derived from, what I think is an old Holiday Inn commercial where the slogan was... the best surprise is no surprise.   Like having my sump pump turn into an indoor fountain.  It was a surprise that was definitely not the best surprise, that I have ever come across. Ha!   Though bringing up that point... from a  recollection of long ago, when everyone was talking about the story on the news.  All I can say is use your imagination... a woman, a jar of peanut butter, a dog, and a surprise party.   Needless to say both woman and party goers were surprised.  Bringing on the memory of the commersial about the best surprise is no surprise.  Ha with a bit of eeeew, mixed in!

The Internet bums me out!  Sometimes there are instances where I get a laugh because it is from the Conservatives or Liberals  that push their stances and blame each other. Too much all at once is the problem, and to me, too many cooks spoil the soup, let alone try talking with everything in your plate stuffed in your mouth. It a paradox liberals need to address.

Here is a few stances I have laughed at, with a quick picture in my mind when I see the headline. Sorry but Liberals get picked on more than Conservatives, mostly because there is a lot of funny things going on with their views, and they explode when confronted with spining it all back in their face.

Topic 1,  from a people or a health headline... What makes a woman become interested in a man?  CHARMING:  Dahmer was a real charmer, just ask all the women he dated.  Oh, they did say that he was to die for.

Topic 2, from Chicago Tribune headline... Masked robber gets caught.  Combined Liberal Justice:  If making a robbery in Chicago, next time wear a Uterus costume. Liberals don't care what's inside.  To them it's a choice, and nobody is to blame.

Topic 3, I have no fecking clue to who posted headline... Barbi makes a new transgender doll.  A head of my time:   Back in the early 70s, I was a head of my time. I would remove and swap Barbi heads with Ken and visa versa. Needless to say mom, and sis did not like it. Probably could have cornered the market and made millions, if family did not get involved.

Topic 4,  A multitude of baseless comments that are of liberal origin... Comment: A typical Trump supporter!  It must be National Dick Day...  I funded National Dick Day when Trump was in office,  where liberals can be dicks any time of the day!  And it is still going strong!

Topic 5,  Unknown source, about parents getting involved with child sexual affirmation.  I believe most parents have been brain washed into Manchosuen by proxy, by the push from liberal media. So are you going to take little Jessica to the vet, because she associates with fluffy the pet cat, eating cat food and weeing in the cat box? See the point?

I will stop with the Liberals... They can only handle small portions, at a time, and I think I did one too many.  I will add another reply on Conservative topics that I find funny.  Problem is finding them. Ha!  Get it... every Conservative topic is a maelstrom of fire and brimstone by... as you guessed it, the AOC and Pelosy.  Ha!  Had to toss that one in for an ender.  I am sure I will find more Conservative funny points.  Though SNL may steal them from me, if they have eyes.

As promised...

Conservative views kill me!

 If it were not for Trump there would be nothing to laugh at.  But, I refrain... what others think and become irritated, masks the fun one can have in seeing the truths fun distortion.  Though humour is all about emotion. Being emotionless reptiles, or overly emotional can limit ones fun times.  So if you fall into either category you will not find humour.  So conservatives, here is my last warning... leave now, or deal with being laughed at.

Being conservative has its perks, you just have to pick and choose your way through them.  Like teaching K1 how to clean and assemble an AR15.   Sort of like Disneyland's build your own light saber.  Just think, it's the only uni-sex thing allowed in a conservative school. Your 7 year old daughter, will learn proper safety and how to accurately use an AR15, before she learns about her first period.  Sort of like Israeli girls, in their early teens, while indoctrinated in the Military.

The nice thing that a young woman can feel accomplished about when pregnant. Yes, tou can be just as accurate and unhindered with movement, while pregnant.  As an AR15 is light and compact, and can be slung at the side or back, making for better balance... being a bit belly weighted. Gone will be the days of a pregnant women complaining of their sore backs.  Give it a try, you may need to sling one on each side of your back, for twins.

Given that the Supreme Court has allowed each state to make pregnancy health requirements fit to the needs of all, not just women.  If your state's laws are conservative, only women can get pregnant... one up for women's rights, as conservatives believe women should be treated as women. To remove any doubt that they are women, not men. It may come at lower pay, and a bit discriminatory, but who isn't... other than conservative men?  You may not have options to terminate the course of pregnancy, through state regulated health care. Which makes it an opportunity, for a nice get away holiday to Mexico or Canada, while you recover.

Bad taste...  forgive my writing, as I am thumbing it on this editing window without using copy paste, so if crepe is spelt like crap, or third is written as turd... which has happened a few times. Leaving a bad taste for a reader. Not to mention sexual terms being placed unexpectedly in some paragragh, that I had failed to see.  Oddly there was one instance of penis being used... no I do not use my penis to type on my tablet. Get real!  There is not one word I can think of that when mistyped would come to be replaced with auto correct.  Maybe because I used penis one to many times... NO,  I AM NOT A PERV!   It may have been pens or pencil that caused the issue.   So, that may be why... I vaguely remember something about 8 pens, so now I can see why I have been blamed for unwanted sexual  advances.  Being that co-worker questioned my 8 inch penis, and in shock, I said how would you know?  Before I knew it, the whole office had an odd ire about it, before I had been requested to the managers office. It was short... No, not my penis!  Would you get off my penis, please!  I ment about the word not my own penis.  This is getting out of hand.  No! No! No!  Stop with your dirty thoughts!   Just suddenly I remember the Mary Tylor Moore SNL monologue.   She said penis, like 50 or more times.  All I wanted to explain was something simple, and now this.  Short... the talk with manager was.  My word against theirs, and the person who got the email, quit under duress. Probably getting a hefty sum of money.  Usually when a claim like that happens, by doing nothing to prove in a face to face talk,  is proof that your effected badly, and will easly grant you monetary compensation without question.  Don't you love it?  For me it was understood as a typeo and they can easily replace her, over me.  But it did not come without being on leave without pay for a month, until sexual harassment course completion.  A complete cock up!  Yet, how many have said what about my penis, in thinking how word spreads around.. I can only imagine some thinking I has sex with her, and she knew first hand.  I am not sure if the looks on their faces was in disappointment or from bad taste, when I told them I never touched the woman, and what they knew of my penis has been from accusation not from facts.  Imagine having to go around the office and tell people to stop thinking about 8 inch penis and the accusation.   There was one person who did stand up to me, and handed out print outs of my email to all that would take from his hand.  He clearly pointed out in yellow highlighter,  I had 8 penis in my drawers, please let me know if you are in need.  Like WTF!   She was always complaining people would take her pens time to time.

Though, I was to explain food, not a mistyped message.  Now that I ruined my food entry, my mind has been side tracked by penis and pens.  Though I have a sad but true story of bad taste and disappointment, with food in mind.

After a good dine out, we were offered a desert tray.  It was fully loaded and placed before us to examine.  In the 1st selection,  the reply was... sorry, we are out of that one.  For the 2nd and 3rd selections were with the same reply, while making disappointment become an act of self inflicting pain. It was at the point not even wanting to try at a 4th attempt.  Really, that desert tray could have been weeded out before display, but in bad taste... hovered about saying eat me, eat me, eat me... to be carted off and laughing at you from their fancy glass ornamental dishes and plates.

For me its none, because of the bus runs them both over. Ha!  I can never get all the wee bits in, else I may go on and on with other bits to distract me.  Oddly enough UK people, will use the term bits for genitalia... so this was unintentional random bit about a naughty bit.  Ha!  The odd thing about placement of an 'i' that could ruin a day, or if I was extremely lucky, would make my day, or hers.  Ha!   

An 'i' kind of reminds me of an incedent with quick thinking in a most inappropriate moment.  One morning I dropped in on the side wing of buisness that was raster to vectpr conversion.  Closest area to the restroom.  Made my pit stop, and forgot to check my zipper.  On the way out, I stopped by the gang and checked what was new for the day.  One of the gents gave me notice to check myself. I quickly responded, I'm advertising, as I quickly pulled up the zipper. It was ok, around the guys, but... I did not take an account a woman co worker of the group had been just in front of me, only to over hear, while facing monitor.  Only then if I had an eye, I may have not been so quick to say anything,

Waiting for that important day...

Just about everyone waits or has waited for an important day.  Remember when you were at 7-1/2 and could not wait to hit 8 years of age?  Then 13, 16, 18, 21... etc.

By the time you get to that day, you already had done just about everything before that special day, where all it is, is just another birthday.  Unless you actually need to be a certain age, to do it legally, or be allowed more independence.

Which reminds me of Independence day.  Where everyone is happy having a holiday, with friends and family. Eating watermelon, corn on the cob, and BBQ.  A free day to blow up shit, and yourself if you are creative.  Though you hardly ever hear about M80 in a  big assed watermelon gag, or firecracker in a coffee can and water bucket.  Its now all about setting yourself, or a forest, or a neighbor's house on fire.

Then there is stoking up flames to create a fire.  Like politically!  It seems like every special day is taken away from it's joy and made into anger and discontent.

Today it is ok to change the meaning of importance, without changing the date or name for such day.

How would you like it if your liberal uncle barges in on your 16th birthday and decrees this day to be a political statement about global warming. 

Telling you everything used in your birthday party is, or has contributed to global warming... as he takes a fire extinguisher to put out your 16 candles.  He lays down a reading, from a premade list, of cause and effect with common birthday party items.   While busy, replacing the cake with fruit and veg.  Declaring every item was naturally grown and picked fresh. Not once in refrigeration,  or long hauled.  Then pulls the plug on stereo, lights, and HVAC.  Nothing of global heating,  just us making our own entertainment, he says.  Also, there will be roofers coming shortly to remove all the shingles, that are heating up the surrounding environment.  We can get a discount to remove existing roof structure, to make an open air environment, which is good for you. Though this carpet needs to go, it will get dirty and will hold water when it rains.  Since it is good weather, why not rid the house of electronics and other global warming items and have a yard sell.  You can cover the cost of removing your existing roof.  Sell your cars while you are at it.  Make it a sweet 16 birthday yard sale!  Now don't you all feel happier now, that we all contributed in such a special day?

You and everyone else are thinking of is... Bleep that uncle, he can Bleeping eat shit, till he Bleeping dies!

Even if Earth Day is a week earlier... he has made his statement become the greatest impact, to convert many at once.  When all they wanted was joy and celebration.  Like some sort of Catholicism day to do with out for many days.

I did not want to alienate the special mark on the calender, may god strike me down for mentioning.

Maybe that is what we need to do... remove naming on special days. This way nobody expects anything specific to be special.  Like pot luck Sunday.  Anything that you least expect will be introduced in that day, to ruin any plans of fun.

Better yet, move your special day forward day!  Like passing the buck. If your special day gets high jacked, you can be reimbursed to have your special day paid for in full a week later.  Though, weddings and vacations would be exempt. Due to the exorbitant amounts of money for such special days.  You may have to do the Vegas deal, pay an extra 50% to allow rescheduled dates.  Serious planning for all expensive special days, to counter any special day high jacks that may pop up.

I'd give $1,000 to see anyone try any of the listed to set a new record, without any help, but must be verified.  One of them perplexing thoughts of... Is it worth attempting?  So many do such things without even thinking of it, right in the middle of attempting.  Like falling and surviving a 100 foot drop, while trying to attach a protest banner on a bridge.  Another, is surviving electrocution when peeing in a 110v wall outlet (6 year old cousin did that).  Surviving drinking 1/4 cup leaded petrol (Another cousin did that).  Surviving trying to rescue a pet chicken from a fully grown cougar attack (yet, another cousin).  I am going to stop, to keep family out of this.  I know the seriousness, but on the outside, it is sort of funny, because we all see the stupidity of the obvious.  No I did not call my family stupid!   Though I think the Cougar attack effected the brain of my cousin... he did get a drunk in public arrest after making his way home. He fell in a ditch as a sheriff passed by, while making his way home. It left a good welt over his eye. The sheriff asked him at his door, what happened to him to get a bump on the head. His answer was, I was playing Croquet at a friends house.  That was the gods truth on his reply. Hard not to laugh on that!

No.

That, I was being facetious, with the question.  Obviously No, but many see yes, until it happens to dawn on them... why did I do that?   Never fails, some will do things for free that others may jump on for the right price. Most cost their lives.

Loaded guns...

Right now politics is messing with my head. It seems to revolve around all types of guns.  Big or small,  made of plastic or steel, store bought, traded, or home made.  We do have a right to own them, yet criticised in possession.  Even if you have a gun there are those who will ridicule you.  To me removing the rights to be a responsible.  If you look at it, irresponsibility is being ignored.  I am too responsible, and see only facts... not the if, ands, and buts.  I see fairness as democracy, not the one sided opinion for justice, as ignored becomes unfairness.  So here goes my mad thought process of loaded guns...

You know what it is like when you have not had sex for 2 weeks, and finally bed a woman.  Now you have the opportunity to use a condom, but she is too fine to pass on, for the natural feel.  Yep, you got her drunk... but that is how the game is played.  Fully loaded without having any intent to impregnate.  Yet you continue to perform, using the only means to impregnate.  Pointing your gun directly at the target of impregnation.  No intentions, yet there it is.  You lead your self to believe, with many hours in training, feeling in control, a slip up.  Just like an armed robbery with a 38 pointed at the head. Without any warning, It goes off, as if Alec Baldwin had pulled the trigger.  You can't say,  "I had no intention to kill", yet you had a loaded gun pointing at an unprotected critical area,  with you being in control. You can't abort in the middle of action.  To pull out and say I am sorry... is intent on being responsible for your action. Otherwise there is no question of your intent. Now tell me, how responsible are you, when... that oops, I emptied my gun moment strikes?  Is it the victim, for trusting you,  showing they are responsible?  I think not.  or is the victim breaking trust, in making the wrong move, when you're in control, placing responsibility upon them?  Again no.

I only see equality in judgment for both errors. Neither were of responsibility.  The killing is the offloading of death to the unborn, in abortion.  If women were given death as the only form for abortion, you know they would be more responsible, with their choices.  Yet like a smoking gun, blame goes to the rare instances as being common every day... the mass shooters, serial rapists, perv dentists, and empowered abusing their power... all the same, by the amount of bullets they load in their guns.  Yet we ignore what is killed, because they don't exist outside the womb. It's a responsibility we ignore, and was a core virtue, now no longer.  Remove the irresponsible, and the mentally unstable, then the gun issues are resolved. Simple as that, in all fairness to both sides.  You can have a loaded gun, and spend your loads safely, while practicing full responsibility, no matter how big or small your gun is.  Whether or not, if it is yout hand, or held by another.  Gun safety and proper training is key to responsibility.

Looking differently...

Many look at me differently, mostly because I look at all things differently.    Going through life having a liberal mom, weed, and a multitude of schools kept me open minded. No, I did not do weed early in my 1st year of school! I didn't need it to maintain living with mom, or the complexities of being in school.  Mom was very liberal with weed, to the point of picking me up from school, and getting lost in the Santa Cruz mountains. Thank God, I never stayed in one school longer than a year until Jr High.  From each new school, I hoped for different out comes, but it was forced learning in how to fit in.  I soon gave up, once I realized I could never match the pay grade of the classmates around me.  New cloths, most don't get, because they were the baby of 2 or 3, within the family.  Until I reached high school they did not make pre worn looking cloths on the racks.  Let alone, I totally disliked Converse and Kidds shoes.  Once mom had moved I was soon having to relearn what fits in once more. Then my odd growth spurt, made looking for cloths even more tricky.  So by the time I graduated early from high school, I was ready to enter the world of non conformity.  I had been completely removed of fashion and pop culture.   Being color blind helped a lot, when searching for cloths I liked. I went by feel and fit. Mom complemented me on my light pink shirt, and wondered if I washed the white shirt in with colours.  As for people noticing my lack of fashion, I had no clue, as I did not care about being stared at, if I had taken notice.  I look differently around my surroundings. Taking notice of what usually is not much noticeable.   Until my colour blindness thwarts my color matching efforts. Green stripey sock on the left, and a red stripey on the other.  I did not bother noticing peoples complexion much, when I had too many wrong attempts at diagnosing sun burn over a nice spray on tan.  Not on me, but others around me.  It was not easy them to take a complement... Nice sun tan... to someone who has been out way too long in the sun.  So eventually I kept my fashion down to T-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes.  No matter what event, or time of day it be.  No, I did not sleep in them!  Black was easy enough to match too.  Then there is how I look at others.  God forbid anyone askes... how does this look?  I have had one guy ask, if I like women? Yeah, was my reply, and his was... and you didn't notice.  When I get odd questions like that, it confuses the hell out of me. Luckily everyone around me is an unknown intity, so I an move just about anywhere at any given time, and free myself from further confusion.  Normally I get odd poking jokes from my cousin.  No not the one with a Croqette incident. His smarter bro, which always has something funny to talk about.  Since he always had a posse around him, I would feel he would corner me into a laugh or two.  I met up with them at a Burger King. I sat down with my order, next to my cousin, who was wearing a Burger King paper crown, while in the middle of razzing with the guys around the table.  He stopped and said, hey that girl likes you... look at your shake, its huge!  What?... I always get them that way.  After explaining no to his request, to have me ask her for her number,  he continued on with where he left off.   That is one of the one of the many times, he would have me attempt at doing something, that I normally would not do. So in a nut shell I rarely notice, when too many things are to notice around me,  so I catagorize of importance. Like driving... Don't ask how many people are in a particular car, or its color.  Non importance is non existant until it becomes interactive.. such as flashing signage, buildings, road ways, signal lights, and cars moving between lanes.  Only once I have allowed a distraction, when it was clear on coming car would stop before turning to across my lane. Because of it, I got T-boned.  From there on, even with shopping cart in hand, I will quickly determine lane change of on coming  crossing on my right of way. Saved my ass a few times, with blind drivers.  From all the odd experiences in a life time, I honestly say, if everyone crosses their eyes and look at everything that way, every thing will be completely normal, though driving will not have any normality, what so ever.  You could run a red light and nobody would notice.  A cop probably stop killing by constantly missing his aim.  Though if you loose one of your children in a crowd, you may not even notice until much later, saving you heart break. You end up owning twice as much as before. Imagine only paying half for everything, when paying with cash.  Wait they will try and sell you two at a time, so nobody gets taken.  At least the economy will automatically normalize.  Eventually if women do their make up cross eyed, they will all look pretty much the same, part Picaso, part Escher, out side of cloths and physical shape.  See normalcy just happens thinking about everyone crossing their eyes.  Maybe, I been around mom too much, when she tokes up. Anyway what is normal, is strange, depending on how you look at it.

Ever heard of the 5 paragraph format?

1. Intro
2. Main theme
3.        "
4.        "
5. Summary

Makes it a lot easier for those who are actually interested in reading it.  :justjen

Some times I format, but the entry I had made was how I capture the moments of thought.  Try and listen to Robin Williams recordings.  Impossible to capture his thoughts as they come, into nicely formatted block paragraphs.  Too jumpy, too random.  If ai tried, I would loose my thoughts and be to frustrated in keeping things before they go.   My humour is more than just formated words... its being hit by all sides at once. It just looks some what  contained but impossible to see it when nicely formated.

Ha! Let them think so. I guess some get great pleasure being annoyed by me, when I never asked them read.  It's like I infiltrated their mind and they can't turn off my voice.  Ear plugs won't work, nor loud music. It is as if they can't stop reading.  Here let me help you with your infliction.  STOP READING!  STOP! STOP!   Well I figure you can't stop, no matter how much you try.  You probably are the one that reads my shit through the wee hours.  Probably reading it backwards, trying to find hidden messages.  Placing reams of printed sheets, looking for Russian plans and codes for their next attack on the Ukraine.  To you I am some dark hidden spy trying to steal your American data through a portal from a moderatly used social hosting site. Not only I have infiltrated your mind, but all that read.  MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Like what Tracy Ullman would say... GO HOME!

Ooooops!  I made a block paragraph.  You probably shat your self.  I think you did!  Now everyone will know, as they read it right here from my words.  You will live in infamy.  All that frequent and newbies from all around the world, will read right in this block of words, that I made you shat your pants.  The horror of it all, as you can't stop reading of your own embarrassment. I dare not make one more paragragh, because it may totally destroy you!

Oooops! My thumb made another block paragraph.  It was live, not edited copy / paste.  Ooooooh aaaaaaaaaah!  What talent.  OMG!  Your still reading!  Why? I gotta know!  Wait, I am in your head, so you can't stop. I am a freaking Doritos chip in your mind.  You won't stop until the king size bag is done, and your fingers sucked until they bleed.  I wonder if my desquised bag of chips,  from the 90s, being fat free, will blow you a new asshole.   If you haven't lived the 90s with fat free chips, you will now!  Your insides will oooze right out of every orifice with the power of fat free.  What a freaking rush dude!

Crap I did another freaking block paragraph!  I can't stop myself... I am an adrenalin junky.  Getting off with every finger stoke, and you are mine!  MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  WAIT! Something tells me, you enjoy this...  your a freaking masochist, aren't you?  Prolly have a pierced dick,  in multiple places!  You are getting your rocks off at my expense.  How dare you!  You are lucky I am only in your head man.  If I had the ability to get passed your cranium, I would tie your tongue around your throat!  Wait, I just thought of a better idea... I will recite the lyrics "Close to you" from the popular group The Carpenters.  It will make you insane before the week is done! 

Oh, I got to go now... dinner time.
