Hold on, hold on, hold on! You mean to tell me, you built a planet destroyer out of a moon?
~~~
This rebel surrendered to us. He was armed only with this [120 pound case of nuclear explosive bomb]. He claims that's it, but I wish to conduct a full body cavity search.
Very well, commander, you may conduct your search.
Then my father is truly dead.

Question: if Jengo Fett had accoustic seismic explosives, would they have been better to use on the asteroid field when the falcon was there? I'd think about 10,000 and any debris heading toward the star destroyer would be minimal.

Sky Captain, have you noticed that there's no one around to be calling you? The entire base has been destroyed, with whom are you talking now?

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series) ep. ii

After 18 hours of its discovery, the NEO 1126F “Urich” is now maybe two days away. From the best estimates from scientists, it will strike the Northern Hemisphere. Europe and the US are collaborating on a solution to a possible Earth-changing/shattering doom. While many nations are volunteering help, no nation had any solution. No rocket could be loaded with any payload to reasonably knock it out of orbit, let alone come close to hitting it. The size of the object made it difficult to effectively hit. The level of damage it might cause is yet, undetermined. From best guessing, the NEO is an ejected part from some ancient collision, seemingly from no known planet.

Scanning has revealed that it has some metallic qualities to it, possibly. It is oblong &/or cylindrical. Nothing else could reliably be determined.

The US has drawn much of its military back from Iraq trying to brace itself for a possible calamity. While the troops will not likely be out of Iraq within the strike window, they are being pulled away and redeployed to other areas, Qatar, Egypt, and parts of Kuwait. The Iraqi insurgents and infiltrators are pushing forth with a near visible line of troops and supplies from Syria and Jordan. Iran is also sending troops along the border of Iraq.

The US has deployed military and service men and coast guard personnel to larger metropolitan areas to maintain control and to curtail rioting. The US press secretary has stated that there is no good reason to panic as the object may be small enough that any damage may be as minor as a tropical depression, as well not being actually hitting US soil. He stated today that his advisors are stating that the object is in a position to strike the ocean and not any land area in the US or any other nation.

The man enters the room

After 90 seconds of an odd greating of Charlie yelling, "Hi", hugging me then doing slapstick, He runs up and starts punching me. Madison, who was also there, joins the gang mentality and punches me. After two minutes of continual punching, I had to stop all further punching. No individual punch hurt, but after around 30, they were starting to accumulate; like pestering a sore.

Amy mentioned that she doesn't get that kind of a greeting. They soon after turned their "assault" on Monkeyjack, who was less-inclined to wrestle and be punched.

zippers are great inventions

especially when they keep you from flying out of a trampoline net and onto solid pavement. Ouch! Charlie did just that tonight! Bounce, bounce -- [bounce out hit], back onto his feet stumbling around, picked up by Daddy (all within the spanse of 6 seconds).

The emergency room crew stated that he was okay.

Grass

Boy oh boy! I love the smell of wet, rotting grass. Yumm... yummmm .... puke! Ah, the trash man gets this waste and Waste Management can have it! Eww!! Biodegradable and foul! Animals eat this do they?

I saw this in '99

Hologram, as it were, only if viewed from above. I was at a teacher's science convention and they had one of these things. Neat!

War of the Worlds 07 AD (series)

After some work, the US has discovered a NEO (Near Earth Object) approaching. Its speed is difficult to determine. Other nations are verifying the object. Best guess conjectures are that the object will be close to Earth within 3 days. It is relatively small and a wonder that it was found, still its course leads it to strike Earth fairly directly, which would cause a possible global change.

The object is of indeterminate material, appearing oblong, but few other details are available. The US has not announced plans for safety or intercept of object. The Japanese are scrambling to prep a rocket for investigation, but local storms are likely to scrub any misison.

unfriendly topic

according to [name deleted], there are a few freaks who prefer to work night shifts at the morgue to ... uh, prepare the dead. Say. That once-was-a-person, is kinda cute with their mouth sewn shut and their rigor long-since gone. I'll just heat up some fluid and have a hot one ... no one will know. They're so ... posable and accomidating.

-- here's where you puke, by the way ---

then they dress 'em and apply the makeup and get them ready for the casket for presentation. I would suspect they same necros would prefer to think that other necros would have them post life.

Uh ... you mount and stuff during taxidermy, not funeral prep ... sicko! I would think that this would be more of a guy thing than a woman things as ... well ... it'd be more appliances attached -- essentially flesh dildo. What would be the point, eh?

more on line-steppers

I was waiting for, "I dare ya ta expell me!"
"Now that oughta do it!"

Habitual line-steppers

In the class with which I have been working, three. I sadly don't get to check 'em back into place.

[front quick, mid kick] aohaohhghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Smash into glass object.
I think I'm bleedin' into my chest.

I guess I should have known there was a problem when they stepped into the room, claiming, "Darkness! Darkness, everyone!"

I would, however, be the first one on the, "What did the five fingers say to the face?"
"I don't know."
Slap! [slap]

"What did the paddle say to the ___?"
"What?"
[whack!]

"Do they speak English in What?"
"What?"

Music restoration

MR linked up my old HD to my new one and transferred my music to the new HD
So, I guess MR is the music restorer

The same night we watched hot pursuit (police car chases) and an episode of DS 9 -- beginning of the war, where the space station is evacuated and taken over by the evil ones. At the end of the episode, the freedom fighters knocked out a "crack house" required to keep one race in line and not sociopathic killers, in doing so they left themselves on a slow boat to China. It will take us 17 years, 8 months ... to get to neutral space -- ouch!

paper, cutting, following instructions

nothing happened like it was supposed to:
paper folded horizontal, not vertical
cutting wrong parts
+ smudging of glue
______________
mess

My ideas hold to fold, like some of their papers, with bad creases and corners not meeting. It was a lesson on cutting, colors and more, but in the end proving that they didn't have enough experience cutting and following directions.

bad sign?

Last weekend, the priest dropped the rings. I'm sure it means nothing, but comical.

potentially good news

Mum might leave hospital tomorrow (Thursday) -- maybe, but will have a permanent change in meds now

I may be with the class a bit longer, as the teacher has not been released to go to work.

Leaving in a hurry

I was walking the kids out to the bus today when one child decided to pull the fire alarm. Needless to say, most people were already near the exits or out of the school, but were informed within three minutes that there was no fire. I saw her pull the handle and she threw a fit being yanked back inside and to the office. She wouldn't go there for me and threw herself on the ground. The FD charges $400 per incident. They plan on sending the bill to the Mom. This same kid tried to steal a wallet sitting on a kid's desk, right in front of the whole class -- 1st grade. She'll be a winner for sure.

Tormentors

Equally bad as Harry Potter's dementors

He said, she said, in the middle of bickering -- signs says you got to have a membership care to get inside; huah!

"I'm not touching you", heard on Monday
Mr. ______________, [name exempted] is touching me.
Is he playing tag with you?
No. (dubious repsonse, as all five children ran off in same direction), earlier I was "base" despite my statements to the contrary.

Yell, scream, throw a fit -- understandable for 2-4, but 6 or 7, unsightly. Adults throw them too, but I'm interested in the students developing into adults ... from that school 86.4 some percent will make adulthood. On average, 80% will make it through adulthood. The US has a mortality rate < 50%, especially with illegal immigration and urban overabundance (lupus proclivity) or Rattus norvegicus (species variant A, not wild type), aka street urchin, social leech--may they all develop (not "lead poisoning"*1)

I know that I have felt like my soul's been painfully sucked from my being with some of the students, their families an their experiences. I used to donate to RAINN, but haven't had the money. Tori Amos, while no longer the best spokesperson for the organization, didn entice me to donate.

In somewhat related news, Notre Dame (catholic) has agreed, grudgingly to host Vagina Monologues, generally concerning women's issues, including incest and rape. Unlike Corpus Cristi (picece de gayiety) I rejoice in the school's introduction of this cathartic poetry and monologuing, for it serves a purpose. I was tempted to attend while it was in town, though it might send the message of "perv", I was interested in the work, the years or decades long expelling of old ... rejoicing in being a woman and refreshing of the self. I could have only assumed many things, but happy for their associate healing.

I suspect that this little boy will get the "holy" ______ [snot] beat out of him one day. I would guess 6th grade he'll get a beat down that he'll remember. Sad that he doesn't just drop the 'tude.

Getting a licence

for driving takes longer than a hunting licence. Does that make sense? I ought to walk down the road with a shotgun, hunting poor drivers' tires. I stopped in at one of the (only) three branches in this ruddy town!

The line stretched clear to Terra Haute. *

I said, "skip this" and hoped for a different way. I'll see if they have the ATM like units to do driver's licences. Yikes! I should not have to wait 90 minutes to do that!

* A Christmas Story

funtionality

Mum's in the hospital again ... this time, not critical. She was entered into the emergency room --- the thinking being that emergency room patients get rooms faster. I didn't see this in action. While I was at work, the folks were at hosptial 1 something. I left after 8:00 pm and still nothing. The pharmacy had some pokey or dopey people as she wasn't getting all her meds.

1-3 days later, we hope to see her again, free from the hospital.

Beetles battle in a bottle on a poodle eating noodles

I "sampled" Green Eggs and Ham and paid the penalty for it, in that in the middle of the narration it goes into the Sneeches, then back to Green Eggs and Ham. I'll have to fix it, but it was embarrassing. I had the read the remainder of the story, not then knowing that the rest of story was there. It was nice, the kids laughed a bit with my narration.
Now there's a neat little side adventure that I'd like -- narration for some petty cash.

Anyway, now I'm prepared!

I just watched the old animated Hobbit movie

and boy is my brain numb ... and my eyes are tired. I'll admit, I fast-forwarded through it, for it was ... obscenely bad. The songs they threw in it were cheesy, 70s and poorly executed. It was interesting that some of the group made Voltron and other 70s Japanese anime and the producers later made Charolette's web and are a staple company making Rugrats and other Nick toons as well as Cartoon Network. The animated movie was, slow slow slow slow slow slow slow. Snore!
I can't believe that the book would be like that, but then again the Lord of the Rings trilogy was not sprint race either, nor much of a marathon, more like a March on Dines ... slow and easy wins the pace (if anyone is watching).

Lifting up the squirrels

to a higher level ... oh, no, that's not what I was doing today. I lifted kids up to horizontal pole so they could climb hand over hand along the top to the end. I lifted many kids today. One of the few physical things I've done lately, my belly shows me how ROUND I am. Yikes! I think I'll skip eating as much.

Anyway, it was nice being out with the kids and lifting them up to play. Fun!

Pick up

your pieces and move on.
If I fail, I pick up the pieces and move on, whether I reassemble it or not. It's broken.

drum kit

or as Charlie likes to put (or putt putt putt) it ... he he he he he he he he he (tooting more and more with each and every laugh. He was winning Mario Smash Brothers and was tooting machine gun style! I'm happy that there wasn't a panic to use the restroom, but ... the toilet did get plugged, then filled with barf at the end of the evening. Poor toilet!

Wedding Black & White

I didn't film it in those colors, but that was the color scheme. It was great, in that it was short. I've experienced 2.6 hour weddings (two of my sisters' Catholic services with mass), my other sister's 45 minute version, but this one was cut to the chase! That's what it should be! Monkeyjack's and Lori's I believe was 33 mintues -- a good wedding, nothing painfully long or long-winded.

The stepfather to the bride sang the Lord's Prayer ... an interesting and 'unique' idea.

The reception was quick -- no dancing, as it was held at the church, the background music was ambiance (rainforst). I got a tip, which was great, as I wasn't expecting it.
+++
After that I met up with Monkeyjack & family and watched Charlie while they bowled. We had a good time, including finding worms and ants. Connie nicely gave Lori tickets to the circus, which she and Jeff would not attended. They seem like good, honest neighbor's with a sense of humor! Later Connie and Jeff walked over to chat. Jeff spoke about a customer who had serious damages done to home and furnishings due to an incompetant (or tired and drunk -- speculative) employeed who maliciously and carelessly damaged unique items in a person's house, installing a piece of furniture. Yikes! He also said that the company, through some nepotism, may very well shield this wrecking ball of a schmuck.

Anyway ... the cake was nice .... photos I hope reveal that and much of it was eaten. I was surprised as Lori and Monkeyjack were cutting the cakes ... they almost couldn't keep up with the demand from a <100 group at the reception. I didn't eat any of the cake, but it was obviously exceptional.

Also funny was the irony of: 3-4 Marks being there, so saying or shouting "Mark" wasn't fruitful for getting one person's attention.

Also, the bride and groom had the first names of myself and ex ... it was, distrubing on my mind, momentarily.

Easter 2006 punctuality unimportant?

I, with the folks, were late. My sister and bIL (brother in law) were there on time, yet we ate without the other family who was ... late.
I spent most of my time talking with Jim while we worked on ice cream that my sister (her house) insisted that we have. She also left, leaving us to do dishes (every holiday she does this) -- it peeves me! Look! I've cooked for lots, then cleaned what mess I made. My sister cooks, then leaves the ten thousand dishes for others ... rude!

Anyway ... it was okay, not fights, battles and we pretty much had a good time, not very Eastery though, but I didn't go to church, so I guess I missed out on that part.

It would appear that my neice and her boyfriend are quite close -- great! He seems to be a nice kid, with a Mark Hamill appearance, for lack of a better analogy. Most of the kids there were old enough that no mention of baskets were made, though I'm sure that there were pounds of candy everywhere. It was also my understanding that my neice was "ill" on Monday, not going to school. I find it likely that it was self-induced illness (candy overconsumption perhaps ... or the old COP* out).

May the sacrifice of the one, be to the joy of many; not of the loss, but of the gain -- herein, salvation!

In what country are we? Were are the feuding and gun-firing congress now to stomp out the oil barrons, the communication barrons of the 00's, as aposed to the railroad barrons of the 90s-10s?

The turn of the century, the millenium, and still we have barrons of communication and energy. Still, we have plantations of tobacco the government tags as cancer causeing and dangerous, yet the government subsidizes these farmers to produce a toxic product. Huh?

Schools failing to meet certain scholastic criteria are closed and the students sent to "water down" other schools otherwise meeting the scholastic standards. Is that really helping?
Schools are integrated, but there are fewer adults in the buildings and there are fewer "discipline options" and really funding prevents opportunities to "good" students.

The citizens call out impeachment much like recount, recall and free fries. Bush impeachment ... why? Bill, liar, I could see, but Bush has done nothing impeachable. He has done many, many, many publicly denounced actions, but nothing illegal, as it were. My tangent would be the authorization to enter Iraq, but that is another story. One man cannot force the actions of so many. Orders, if faulty or stated from a powerless position may be ignored. A private directing superiors to attacks don't make it happen and a general directing the army to fire upon itself doesn't fall under the category of punishable of "not following orders"

In a small story, the local paper ackowledged that a school applied common sense to a policy and didn't suspend or expell students for exchanging and dispensing cough drops (under broader interpretation a drug, therefore dispensing of drugs is suspendable / expellable offense). Yay for them for uing that matter incased in their skulls.

Western Digital takes licking

and starts rattling. I believe that the drive is spinning, but the USB connection in the unit -- popped off. It had all my music, but I'll seek a cheparer (or faster) way than the overcharging Geek Squad for data transfer from working drive to working drive. Let's see. hook up drive, 10 minutes. Dump data from bad drive to new drive -- simple, start and it'll finish when its done. Is that work? It certainly sounds like charging for 5 - 10 minutes. They're prices for that are more like lawyer fees.

picking candidates

like picking your nose is gross, limitedly productive and leaves you unclean. Moreover, like 47 other states, I must "declare" a party for the primary (buffoon selection 1) and elect under vice secretary to the assistance tax assessor treasurer of a county. Does the party matter then ... do they earn much ... no and no. I can't believe that they have much of a budget. I do, however expect deception from a candidate, whose supporters can finance a whole billboard on a main thorofare.

Another bad ad campaign (flyer) I read had a vision statement ... poorly done and bad idea.

How about a nice little questionaire for all persons on the ballot? Include on this pre-entry exam: understanding of job for which s/he is petitioning, specific listing of relevant experience, kinetic / dynamic / static perspective (change of satus quo and capability to do so, improvement of self and trickle down to all tangents, keeping the status quo).

I don't know more than I know on any of these people. I can thankfully say that I don't have any affiliates to which I owe favors when voting. I still feel disenfranchised, stripped of power and intentionally held ignorant, yet belittled if not exercising (not performing) voting in this runners up circle event known as primaries.

I feel equally poor at the official voting in fall.

and so there I was holding the bag

Who will do this ...

I was really a nonparticipant, a foreigner --- passerby and chances were someone would be picked.

I feel like a southern task master ... picking on the ethnically different ... it's really based on behavior, but it grates on me that I give the appearance that I'm a racist with my usual suspects for punishment. With this class I also seem to "select" males for punishment more often than females. I try to be impartial and fair, but I feel that it never looks that way. It haunts me -- man of the sheet not the cloth. I know that I'm not, but I think that it appears otherwise.

You may have

the blood of Christ (which happens to be alcohol), but you may not dance. Huh? If your religion defines lines that are counter to your thining, you must either:
accept the teachings or
accept your opinions.

Does dancing lead to sex? Especially for the bride and groom. Isn't that the procreative function of the relationship and Catholically writing, the way to get more Baptists? Dancing leads to more congregation ... hmmmmm ... the _____ church hosts the Welcome "new (prenatal) Baptists.

Fire!

No remorse, regret; we don't care, what it meant. Another day, another, another sorrow, another breath. Climb every mountain, sail every sea, conquer every idealistic moment, until you sow your seed.

I rebel against my daughter, whose guardianship I lost (go figure) to have to say "God" in her pledge. Nag, nag, nag ... but I'll be damned if I'll do a _____ thing about anything significant.
Say, like the lunatic fringe with the woman seeking audience with Bush, despite the VERY rare personal talk with him. HINT: VERY FEW PEOPLE get to talk with any President, let alone, more than once. Give that dead idea a break. He died. Okay. He joined a system where that was a possibility. It's done. Sad that siutations were that he died, but that is that. A soldier is dead.
Meanwhile, Bush is making, well, some decisions that don't play well with the media or the poulace. His cabinet should advise him to either: do things covertly or play more to the popular opinion ... passing the bill ... bad idea, posioning the Republican party. Does he not understand that? Bill Clinton was THE politician ... telling what the people wanted to hear while he was stealing their wallets. He was the political theif ... brilliant in theft, but not best suited for the job.

The job was swell, I did quite well
'Till the merry-go-round broke down
The guy that worked with me
Was a horse with the lavender eye
Around in whirls we winked at girls
'Till the merry-go-round broke down
Up and down and around it we sped
The dizzy pace soon went to my head
Now you know why I'm dizzy
And do the things I do
I am askew and you'd be too
When the merry-go-round broke down
Yes the merry go round broooookkkkkkeeeeeeeeee.... down

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Esquire me on the streets, trying to resume

all lawyers know what's up with billin’ fees

So I hooks a left on the 21 and Lewis
some brothas arguin’ law so I said "Let's do this"
I jumped out the ride, and said "What's up?"
some brothas pulled some pens so I said "I'm stuck."

Since these honors clock me I'ma object and serve
these plantiffs lookin so hard they straight hit the curb
Won'tcha think of better things than some petty tricks
I see my partner and some suckers all in his mix

I took they’re rings, I took a rolex
I looked at the brotha said "Damn, what's next?"

They got my homey hemmed up and they all around

Got a girl named Nancy Cohen ... she's from Facts of Life and smaller works. She was the "fat, strong character" who you thought would be the high school mentality -- always fat. I was looking up Nicole Mckenzie, whom I favored, but there wasn't a recent picture. She was the "wild one". It's odd, thinking that I remember my high school thinking -- I guess since MR mentioned another ruddy class reunion, to which I will not attend, that I got to thinking about it.

For practicality, use and nostalgia, I put together the Schoolhouse Rock songs for the kids at school. Some of them knew the Conjunciton, Junction, but didn't know the others. Funny that I'm Just a Bill and C J were the most notable. I liked them then and I like them now. They had some groups do newer versions of the songs, but they blew chunks and sucked up navel lint.

"Without Mother Necessity, where would we be?"

Madagascar

or how to put together 6 ideas into a group of 5 with, dubious linkage with the penguins. It was okay, with a typical, unnecessary curse inuendo ... "Hoover Dam!" Why not just skip that? Anyway ... okay, disallusionment, redemption, true friendship, and it was 72-82 minutes. It wasn't a 4 hour movie (Peter Jackson ... paying attention to this?) The dry spells, while visually interesting, still would wane on the mind of the youth. They needed to accelerate a few areas, but overall okay ... with 25% re-viewability. There were no strong songs or (I missed that, surprises).

$135 and all I got was this stinking battery?!

I had two batteries, both dying and unchargable. I bought a typical battery for my laptop. Cripes! It was $135 for a chunk of metal, plastic and 0.6% liquid CDLI. Thankfully Dell shipped it next day and I got it a day after paying for it. It works fine, but it's not like a new car, or new anything. It's a battery or a replacement part that isn't shiny or fancy or much of anything. When you invest, you expect to get something, rather than typical operation. That's what I got ... expected operation. It had to be done.

Running with scissors

I've missed out on many things, put myself behind and have in all other ways defeated me in a vain effort not to do so. Time cruching and number count down, I have failed on so many fronts. In my work, I see phtfft! I try and, being a critic of my own work, dislike anything that I claim as worthy or worthwhile!

parody on justice

confining a few, in favor of the protection for most, still I then am bound and tethered to those whom I choose. I choose not, those because they're great, wonderful, grand associates, but because they're the cause of the pain of frustration ... a temporary martyr diving on the grenade to shield all others from a nasty explosion. I hate it. It still has a cost. Those, worst offenders, see that they are confined, but not assaulted and so offend again. The penalty isn't one, save for the prosecution -- me. No more I say, but find that it's only talk. My series of profanities are saved for the decades-dead keyboard and blank paper before its mauling.

Bang bang bang go my morals

My feelings of morality are, well, that I'm a sinful sod. I have principles but am willing to defy them in favor of certain situations. Headstrong, headlong, I plunge into the quagmire known as the gray area where thinking is allowed, but prompt action is required. Given circumstances where to act in my moral front (template) is to bring harm to others and to not act is to bring harm to others. Pitted now against the code of realism and pragmatism or stark reality and preference, my desires are immaterial to reality. So, I boldly hurt some to not hurt others. Some pay, my soul pays, my mind pays and takes its toll on me -- conscious reminding me like a mirror, of who I am. What have I done ... forever it pains me ... I can't change what I have done, but I wouldn't change it, the other possibility is equally terrible or worse. In the end, I haven't surrendered my morals, nor put them on a shelf, but rather see that taking pain in one way is no worse than pain in another and the I haven't circumvented my morals in favor of the fast and easy way. I do accept that I'm selfish.

Monkeyjack's philosophy bantering

and the concept of moral choices and sin.

In such a case where you are pitted again life pain and sinning, to where you kill another person or innocent and "guilty" people, do you sin or make a loss in your life and your family's life (life in prison, or long sentence due to you not sinning and killing another person)?

Monkeyjack came up with hypothetical question after question -- some so fictional, there was no reason to answer them, but I surpirsed him with my capacity and willingness to sin, with my understanding (concept) that often you are pitted with two sins -- weigh them as you might, which do you choose. I chose the more "evil" as it were, the darker, more seductive, easier option. I would kill, but I understand killing is a sin, that I claim that I would choose, in favor on another sin or failing that isn't killing.

I believe we met at a point that, at some point in time, many people who wouldn't kill, would -- given the right circumstance -- say to kill a home-invader rather than have them kill a loved one (or loved ones) or a "rational transaction, one life for billions", "needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the fewer or the one".

My anger arises from the fact that the world and society has more and more situations where killing (from a certian perspective "point of view") is preferential to not killing -- not to say that it makes more sense, as killing, itself is wasteful and illogical. Translated also to other forms of life. Is it reasonable to kill, to get something out of your way?

That, limited to classical and neo-classical theology and philosphy, of souled creatures, namely humans, still limits people in their responses to difficult and angonizing situations. Someone will kill a loved one if you don't kill them: a perp with a gun is aiming to shoot your spouse. You are in a car heading toward that person. Would you stop (not killing that person because killing is illogical and sinful) or would you continue and kill the person, saving your loved one? My answer is quick -- kill the perp, save the loved one.

Do I kill bugs? No. I try to relocate bugs that shouldn't be in the house, like bees, wasps, moths, etc. I do kill mosquitoes because they may be a health threat -- protection of self and others (but primarily self). I don't kill flies either, though they don't discriminate food and are usually laden with gunk, but there are so many species, some are selective, including pollenators who feed from flowers (bee in appearance). Insects, spiders, etc. serve a purpose and it's wasteful to extinguish them for no gain, save your personal glory of getting them out of sight or victory over a small opponent.

To summarize our 90 minute discussion, including Monkeyjack's my preference to not join the military to achieve military goals is that, if you can have a life where you don't face sin or sin, it's better, as people tend to sin, though they ignore it... and people tend to destroy out of malice (and enjoyment) rather than be pestered by a small nusance. In this case, I'm selfish and would prefer to not have more tax dollars spent on permanent incarceration (the way it is presently set up and the total cosets for execution) and have convicts pose a real threat to the public by possible escape or pardoning, or release to commit more crimes as they are not educated to re-enter society. I would prefer to kill people who can't and won't be released, rather than pay for their existence. That is a selfish view ... I know.

A note on Smash Brothers

One: I was going to write that Charlie looked like a cowboy after 13 hours in the saddle trying to get to the pot.

It was a fun time with the battles and Monkeyjack winning it often with his Yosho eating and pooping -- how ironic, his enemies in wonderful, again ironically Easter-like dragon shells. I could never get the ruddy hold button to work well, but the Pichachu was a nice even character that lent me fewer deaths.

Two: When falling, carrying an opponent, don't throw them to safety and still fall to your end. I saved Yoshi, and poor Donkey Kong plumetted out of sight. Nice move!

different kind of Spring cleaning

Finding wasp and bee hives and sadly destroying them so they find and make a new one somewhere else. Interstingly enough, there is an old hive in the garage, I never before noticed. There's a small access hole in a 2x4. Sometime I'll rip it out and find out how large the hive has been these couple of years.

defense

Your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I offer the defense of idiosyncratic hatred, on the part of my client in the shooting deaths of several unrelated people.
Let me tell you of the circumstances of my client, the alleged uptown spree-kiler.
My client had only just left the indoor firing range, which later is was discovered that there were multiple shootings; might I say, possibly after my client left ... when he pulled into the parking lot to get some groceries. At this time, he rather forgot his handgun, but I would like to remind you that he often doesn't lock his doors. Because he took the gun with him, on accident, it prevented anyone from stealing it from his car and being used to commit crimes, or worse that a child might accidently shoot the weapon.
After a few mintues of shopping, my client was waiting in line, and waiting and waiting. The woman ahead of him stood there for a good ten minutes before realizing that the cashier had asked her, "paper or plastic". Finally she can begin loading bags and scanning more items, and still the store didn't open any more lanes. By this time, my client was getting aggitated and having stood all day, was tired and had missed breakfast that morning.
I will add here, that they fouled up his order at the fast food checkout during lunch and failed to give him all of this change (23 cents).
The woman ahead of him decided that she didn't want half of the items after they were scanned, though she knew the prices. She went through each bag, emptying it entirely until she found an item here or there that she didn't want, forcing the cashier to rebag it all.
This had been now 24 minutes that my client was waiting. After all of the messing around with the items, the total was $4.65 less. She was ready to check out, but then argued about the prices on two of the items. My client then nicely offered to pay for the items ("Just let me pay for the ("four profain terms here, you three profain terms here "), his comment was a little less plain, but she declined with a sneer. She spent another 10 minutes counting out change and finding that she was 10 cents short, would write a check, but declined the twenty pens she was offered by the people at the store, for they weren't her "special ___________ pen".

My client hoped that he could save the people behind him some grief by pulling out his wallet early, but mistakenly pulled on the handle of the gun. He naturally didn't want it to fall, so juggled it until he had control of it, as it then pointed directly at the lady ahead of him. At this time, she said, "Look sonny ..." (touching the gun with her hand, which put enough pressure on my client's difficult grasp on the gun that it discharged. It was in this scared state that he instinctively pulled the trigger several more times, all the bullets entering into Marge Botox, killing her.

That was sad, and my client's reaction was strange, in that he just wanted now to check out and leave the store. The people all around him were panicked and some started making phone calls. Again, more time wasted. He yelled to the, perhaps stunned, perhaps high cashier to check out the groceries, but she didn't. It was at this time that he again began to lose his grip on his gun, he was quite tired now, and it discharged again through the register and into Wanda's shoulder, where she fell to the floor. None of the other employees would check out his groceries, so he grabbed them, throwing money on the counter and leaving.

He foolishly fired a couple of times at bothersome insects, striking two people calling on their cellphones. He angerly left the store and tried to get out of the parking lot, where he had to again wait while some poorer drivers idled time away deciding where to park and re-attempt to park several times, so that the car was straight. One person preventing him from leaving, so he again, so he shot in the air -- so he thought, because of his super loud horn tends to scare people.

His nearly defrosted meat was dripping everywhere, so he was in a panic to get home. Naturally when the cops were behind him, he should have pulled over, but he was not thinking clearly about that, but rather of the wasted if the meat went bad. It was sheer accident when the gun went off in the officers direction when he tried to enter the house.

Having spent his entire clip of bullets by now, he thoughtlessly changed clips -- as he was at target practice today, as I had mentioned. Now very weak, he went to put away groceries and found that the door was stuck. He shot at the door to open it, but was a poorer shot now because of his weariness, which is why three officers were shot. He was just putting away the groceries, when the officers broke in, wrecking his new door, frame and security devices. May I add that the officers had broken windows also.

He didn't want any accidently shootings, is why he didn't immediately drop his weapon. So as you see, the days events were merely a long string of accidents, so my client is not guity. If you find that he is guilty, you must find him guilty by reason of idiosyncratic hatred, in that mindless waiting, especially for stupid others puts him in a fight or flight heightened level of excitement, eager to end his waiting.

Thank you.

Bagatells

You're not really here ... you're in a place, thinking and playing. Where you find you can predict ... you're going the right way. Life, inevitably is an infocom game, much like Zork, but with better graphics.

You see an interviewer behind a desk. He's standing looking at you with a hand extanded offering you a job.

Bore (the movie)

Hey! The Earth's entertainment is slowing. We must drive to the center of it to find a way to reheat it. I know... let's run more Will & Grace, Brokeback Mountain, Matrix TV series, evening soaps, 45-season shows, newer and exciting sports X-Games of mud flats roll-car rock climbing, "Who Wants to be Kansas Governor?", Badmitten court TV, "My Three Wives (filmed on location in Utah), Leave It To Cleaver (SCI: 1940s), All In the !@#!@#! Family (00's update), Whose Job is it Anyway?

What's really bad is that the trash on Jerry Springer are terrible. Who watches the show, those people who live it and see it every day. Why?

I stopped watching TV very often. I used to watch Cartoon Network at night, but skip it! There isn't bunk on TV I like. There's hardly a movie I don't cripe about. Doubtful that the enterainment industry would cater to me, but I'd like something that, ya know ... entertains or educates or edutains. New Dectectives used to do this, but they really ticked me off with the 5 minute story stretched out to 40 minutes with 2, 5-minute stories after that of ... we found a dead body and a guy standing next to it with the murder weapon and found that ... uh, he did it.

Discovery also has a "history researcher" who tries to answer questions no one is asking ... did the Nile River really hold Aryian artifacts that the Egyptians knew and used to build the pyramids 5400 B.C. ? I'll spend the next two hours coming close to nothing then being debunked at the end. Thanks for watching. How about Behind the Music of say ... Yani? How about those annoying persons in music like, John Tesh, Enya's ninth unintelligible CD, completely forgotten one hit almost wonders on the top 100 charts never getting to top 40 ... say top 75?

NYPD BULL_____. Next episode ... nudity! Oh ... it's some guy's butt! Great ... I'm done with that show. Cutting edge ... profanity ... that's outrageous, right?!

How about, a good old fashioned funny show with no need for language censors. _____, I remember picture pages with Bill Cosby. I remember using so much foul language and still ... such rude (while rare) comments that I don't need TV to say them outloud. I'd like to see a fiction, you know, like the bad guy trying to kife a cop is killed on the spot. I'd like to see people saying stupid things to each other while going through mundane tasks, not waiting for a laugh track or "live studio audience"

Entertain me with life, fiction that's funny or makes me happy. People in a house for 10 criping about their shirts -- uh, doesn't make me laugh. Also, if the show has to tell you when to laugh (laugh track) it isn't funny.

If the miltary wants to defer some costs, how about "virtual bombing", where you get to select a bomb that already has a target, and you buy it for say, $50 and get the video of it destroying your target. There are some people, I believe, who would pay for the satisfaction that their bomb (adopt a target) did successful hit the target and help support the country, war effort, and military. The statements of, lack-of patriotism due to dis-satisfaction with the war could be changed from "buy war bonds" to "buy liberation bombs".

BTW: I don't like politics, it isn't just this administration, as it were, for congress too writes and passes law

Entertain me by having some air-force one pranks "punk'd" (crude urbanlect) on violnt criminals. "You are free ..."

"Prisoner is escaping" ... fire!
[blam blam blam] chaos, massacre, paperwork and overall lower cost -- it should be a criminal-free society

blinks passerby

Time to make the donuts.
I made the donuts.

(meeting yourself coming)

I don't really sleep. I rest and feel unrested. I think that I either: have a fight club somewhere (sans the violence) or I don't know how to mentally and emotionally unload anymore. I think that latter is more likely. I hardly feel refreshed. At one point in time, I could take a 20 minute solid nap and be refreshed for 24 hours. Now, I don't really rest ... I dream and think and don't ever slow in thinking.

hippy hydra bat

Another half day with the kids paying half attention. They are sweet and have resigned themselves to the fact that I'm going to be with them for a while. There was a hurry, a flush ... I forgot we were supposed to watch a video ... oh, well ... Monday!
I got body checked, accidently by Mackenzie, who, of course, continued to body check me while I made noise because of it. Izaiah hugs every adult ... it's his thing. Dawson hugs me -- daily.
We wiped out more work, having an understanding of cm and inches today ... the difference between the two, somewhat.

2 weeks of plans ... my mind is stirring, which is better than what it was doing at 2:35 ... I think my tiredness was making me drool. I passed out from poor sleep, for tomorrow I'll be chauffer for a non-driver.

In the world of the cryptic and strange, Lori called me about a wedding I'm supposed to photograph. Interestingly enough, I asked a few times about it, with no results. Now, apparently, this person is panicking about it. I didn't call her because I didn't have the number. I called today, but nothing. I guess it's not that big of a deal, right?
Catch this! Lori doesn't know the person's last name. I think I have a solution:
Don't ger involved very far with people you don't know. If you don't know their last name, then you don't really know them. I'm worse here ... a third party, who's never met her. I said yes, why?

winding down

Easter bonnets, spring sonnets, flowers blooming, minds zooming. The lot of them have their heads in the clouds. They finish spring break, come back for parent-teacher conferences and then a three day weekend. Thank you Jesus (not a slander ... think about my statement)!

Bunnies and Monday burdens with two types of returning students --- sleepy, sugar crash, and zippy -- high on sugar. It'll be a fun, fun, fun day!

This year ... the family will converge for the first time on Easter with the many dogs ... staying at home? They are coming up for hours only on Sunday from Indy area. What a difficult day and Monday for all of them. I liked the idea of a picnic somewhere in the middle ... Munice, Gas City? That's not going to happen. Wacky, late ... hurried ... it'll be what it'll be.

Happy Easter to you all!

Thanks to Bill Amend, Dan Reynolds

Gestapo

Sgt. Hans Georg Schultz voice (John Banner):

You will schtand against die fensch, ja? Dare, you vill schtay until I dell yu to move!
Halt! Hoo goes dare?!
No ... yu go play, kinder! Recess ist nicht don, jetz!

Yu, yungen! Du hast been sehr schlest heute! Sschtayen sie dare vor 7 meenuts! I leht yu know!

---
or something like that. You know, I'd like one day not to feel like a outpost guard limiting rations for a few rebel rousers or trouble-makers.

You! Yes, you laddie! Stand still!
You can't have any recess! How can you have any recess if you don't do your work? (pudding and steak)

searches?

I was looking for Nigerian music and simplified it with, Niger
There was a song of, "My wife ran off with a Niger" -- really?!
From American History X -- Kill Nigers and Jews.

Thank goodness bigots can't spell! Perhaps, they had national problems?

I looked up "nuke" and found, Carly Simon, et al --- what the? Oh ... it was a "no nukes concert"

choices

I presented a child with a choice today.
He has failed for several days to submit signed work -- due to be returned. I have reminded him the last several days that if the papers are returned, he will continue to lose some / all recess time. With this he cried. I asked him if I should call "Mom" to remind her to send in the work. He said, "no". Despite the prospects of losing recess ... all she needs to do is sign and return the papers, he will lose recess perpetually ... he chooses to lose recess. What's that home like? Should I call Mom to have her sign it ... no.

I'm calling her tomorrow anyway, it was just intersting.

Also today, a boy shouted out "N -----". Girls came up to me and said that he used the "F word". When I asked him what he said, he said that he returned a comment to him of, "N ------" to that person. The first person to use it, is a problem student in a different class, but same grade.

I don't put much faith in much of that at all. Anyway, I don't expect it to be repeated anytime soon.

POW camp

or at least that's what it seems. I have had the same kids in with me for recess for a long, long, long while. Who's being punished here? During my investigation/interrogation, I hear some pretty intersting things. I write down what is said and pass it along. Documentation... documention ... like there's going to be an audit. I guess I could pull a '45 Germany and burn all the records, right?

personable?

Here I go, thinking that I put forth the impression that I'm untouchable ... terrible and mean, and some kids walk up to me and share parts of their lives with me. What am I to do? I'll just accept that I'm not total evil. That's fine.

trampoline

the boys, Charlie and Jared, were playing on the trampoline surrounded by netting, and invited me to wrestle. The neighbors came over with their two dogs -- one of which was a very playful German Shepherd who wanted play time. She kept jumping up with her paws on the outside, finally, she came into the netting and onto the trampoline. Hey, that's where the other puppies were, right?!

Iron Chef diabolical

Your surprise ingredient is cow hoof!

He he he, I like the crunchiness of the hoof!
Yes, and I like the fact that you didn't change its shape and left it sound.
I like the cow hoof, but the mango slices, really rather deter from the cloven taste of these wonderful hooves.

Your surprise ingredient is horse dung!

I've had horse dung before, but never so flavorful!
Wow! I've never thought of using horse dung with ice cream! This is really good!
How did you get the horse dung to be so ... crunchy? I mean, we saw it just fall onto the floor at the start of the show!

Hmm, hmmm, ha, humm ... it's all in the freshness.

Thank you!

Bad Wedding DJ

Hey, do you have "Bump and Grind"? Yeah, I'll get that right on for you.
And here's a request for, "You're Pretty Cute When I'm Drunk", chosen especially for the bride and groom.
I'll leave you with, "Me So Horny" followed by, "Behemoth's, 'Age of Therion' from their Satanica CD'" while I take a break. I see here a request for "Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker we'll fit in before the end of the night.

1. R. Kelly
2. Bloodhound Gang
3. 2 Live Crew
4. Behemoth
5. Uncle Kracker

Yikes! Oh, wait ... that's my music selection, well, kinda. I don't listen to Uncle Kracker who supports intermarriage affairs, haven't heard the Bloodhound Gang song yet and the women-degrading 2 Live Crew and Behemoth metal groups are ... not, um ... wedding music.

dream

I was with my father driving down the road, when we came to a bridge. Not one part of the road nor the bridge were familiar to me and I was driving.
The road, as I then looked, was 6 or 8 lanes wide. The bridge lifted up and the warning lights were flashing and the blaring of the audible signals was loud. We were up about one-quarter of the way over the bridge before the signals went. The signaling started similtaneously with the lifting of the bridge -- therefore, a river lied below. It was strange then, and stranger now as to why the signals were late and that it was a 6-8 lane bridge (implausable for lifting). We started sliding backward, twisting as the bridge lifted our car and the semi-trucks behind us, before we crashed into them, the bridge broke, and it quickly fell forward, showing my father and I the shallow river below.

Again ... it was 70 to the brown river -- which obviously wasn't very deep. We were going to die. I looked over to my father (a roller coaster torso bar (horseshoe shape) was over each of us -- odd again, and we quietly said, "I love you" as a passing gesture before dying.

Splash! We were pulled down under the water (greater than 100' -- unreal for brown water, and the whole bridge structure fell on top. There was no boat or ship passing under the bridge, no reason for it to have lifted.

In this same dream, I walk around later and people are shocked to see me days after the accident. I found out that they never pulled out the bodies, so I was dead. My father, unlike me, aparently stayed dead. I was whole, not zombie-like by gave people an odd sense as my body was buried deep in water, under metal. I wasn't a ghost. After walking to my father's grave and tried to live/exist as I could. Why did I have the same body and why am I alive where I should be physically gone?

Before waking I remember helping a few people ... but sad, suicidal, in that I sought destruction by saving someone else. I wished to be shot, shielding someone from a bullet, anything to not existence in my should-not-be-alive state of being.

biting details, derail

derailing your train of thoughts ... Sawyer, despite having background shows about him, I believe is working with the others. I suppose this for the reasons of: guns are dangerous and tend to slaughter and kill people -- bad for the supposedy random stranded people on the island, so keeping them hidden means fewer need-to-be-there people die and other persons don't get hurt.

I watched the latest episode (my last one I will watch, as I'm bored of the show), waiting for Roark to show, saying, "Welcome to scary fantasy island".

"Da plane, da plane ... it crashed, it crashed!"

2 types of reading (there are more)

1. reading for cursory understanding -- or recreational reading with little real time for full comprehension; yeilding fluency of 70%

2. reading for content -- recreation or education, reading everything for memory, knowing that parts in section C, page 96 will have relevance and importance (another part of a whole) for part A page 201. A series is especially true for this, in that a character or characters are generally kinetic and a fullness and richness is found through parts and pieces here and there throughout the book and series.

Using television as a reference, as most people do watch it on occasion. Law & Order (the original series) had each episode start and finish. After season one, they found that they would have more seasons, so they started building the characters, but actually finished each episode. The build up and development of each character didn't take the whole forefront of the show. After 6 seasons and many different police partners, Jerry Orbach's character, Lenny, had a jaded past of alcoholism spanning 5 or so years of his police work, several failed marriages and a daughter who got into drugs and was killed being a witness against her dealer. Lenny, it was supposed, hired a killer to kill him, but the dealer died in jail, so that was only a tease that his hate was that thick. His alcoholism lead to a night falling off the wagon, unable to drive, an assistant D. A. , Jill Hennesey, Claire drove him home and was stuck and killed by a drunk driver.
Jack McCoy, you find out, who was her lover, for a while -- bad idea of mixing work and love (demonstrated many times over the seasons), tried to vindicate her death by harshly punishing the drunk driver, then found that his attack would have amounted to personal vengence, at benefit of another person with a personal agenda.

I know that all sounds neat. It is. It also covered 30 some episodes to get that. Unlike Lost where, you have 40 some episodes saying little about what they are doing, but you know all about characters on the island including two who were killed off. Since the writers like to play off the idea of all the characters being linked (Kevin Bacon game) to each other, it will be difficult to see how they will connect the two dead "semi-main" characters to others without bringing them back -- at a wrongful pay for their lack of foresight.

War of the Worlds

by H. G. Wells. Taking into consideration when it was written, published in 1898, it was very novel (ha ha) innovative for sure. When making a movie of it, some updating was definately required, as automobiles weren't mentioned and horses were common. An interesting difference between book to film was (both 60s and 00s versions, and the borrowed ideas for Indepdendance Day) was that the aliens were seen before the machines. The concepts of miscommunication was the belief for their heat-ray attack on persons near the crash site.
The heat ray from the book was from a mirror on a tentacle than rotated around. The ray itself was invisible (would have saved much cost on production if they kept that) incinerating everything it touched with a range of maybe 100-200 yards. The 2005 War of the Worlds kept it truer with walking machines, but botched it a bit from Welles' description of storms surrounding the machines.
I guess I'll stick with books and watch even fewer movies.

watching lost

is like watching bulbs develop into flowers, or buds turned into leaves:
slow, methodical (or so it seems), gradual grwoth into something new, to its conclusion of something predictable. While stopping and watching minutes at a time, getting the highlights of the growth (slow motion camera shooting picures twice daily) is still slow, but better than sitting for months -- wating.
I've watched the show pretty much to the point where, you see the buds on the branches very well. They are prominant, but the insects are yet there to exploit these, as they tend to do. The full richness of spring isn't quite filling my nose and lungs, so I think I have a while to wait yet.

After the splendor, you have the waste of the bounty lying everywhere for you to pick up -- that, being your time spent waiting for something.

I'm done watching it. It's boring like Space 2001, with background things being interesting, but the whole movie start to finish being much, much, much too long and not worth the time spent seeing it.

Jacket with new smell

Charlie and I went to the park Saturday and he picked most of the dandelions along the way for Mommy! I carried them in my coat, so my leather jacket now smells of dandelions. It adds to my tough guy image.

When we got to the park, we fed ducks and the insistent geese. Since Charlie doesn't often go to this park, it was a treat, but a trek ... long for a person with short legs -- 4 years old. "Here ducks!"

Saw II -- Saw it

This introduces a new, weaker plot with the same type of gore, moving from new-gothic blue and watery-green (Matrix, Saw, Ring) to now in new 30's artistic slant print yellowish neo-gothic (more concentrated than Sky Captain). It said to me, "soon to be a PS2 /3 XBOX, GC, PC game".

Though not totally predictible, it was, inevitably, somewhat predictable.

Two victims (supposedly bad or evil in their own right) weren't really investigated, and you never knew much about them. They were, I guess, slasher movie fodder. The shared theme they had were vices, so a character in the movie was a vice officer, which seemed strange considering his "role" in the main investigation

Vice: narcotics, prostituion, I guess larceny falls under that category, but certainly not homicide.

Anyway ... watch it if you saw the first one, but this is hacked together --- I won't give any numbers on it

Signs that you're sleeping

you snap your neck quickly recovering from a near forehead to keyboard crash -- thanks, Lori!
Mumbling unintelligibly or responding with non-sensical phrases to questions such as, "Where is the remote?" "The German books are over there." (my stupid, sleepy response)

Either you came in drunk last night or we need to get a new clock. It
clanged 7 times, farted, rang twice more, burped and laughed, then clanged 5
more times.

You wake yourself snoring
You see that you traveled forward in time by several minutes, yet you didn't move laterally.

feeling included

Thankfully, when I'm down, I can always remember that friends include me. On Tuesday, Lori called and invited me to meet up with them for playing at a pool (formerly Holidome), but it wasn't the best of days for me to go. I perhaps should have, but tried to complete long-standing old projects.

Yesterday was interesting ... I might have a chance to help a neighbor sell his collection, be it on eBay or another site ... beer cans, lots of them. I haven't catalogued them, but there might be money there. I'll need to get my digital camera for now three reasons:
1. use at a wedding -- soon
2. photos of cans and collection
3. family reunion in June

tick, tock ... time's a wastin'

Lawyers ( ___ you and the suits you rode in on)

Two cars carrying 5 lawyers each get into a rear end collision. Obviously there were suits filed, and here are the basics:
front car rear ended (driver: Bob, passenger Susan; rear Frank, Robert, Shane)
rear ending car (driver: Pat, passenger Ted; rear Becky, Paul, Tad)

* suit filed against Bob for traveling at unsafe speed, 2 miles over the speed limit
* suit filed against traffic officer at scene for saying, "(at least there isn't a) fire", causing a panic where Robert hastily crawled over Shane to escape -- bruising and also bruised with Shane trampling him. Pat ran back to her car trying to free wedged-in Tad, who was pulled from his seat, causing lacerations. This mayhem with pulling and shaking jarred the joined cars to roll down the hill. This, in turn caused Becky to tumble down the hill and ruin her suit.
** replacement of suit and shoes ($3500)
** replacement, repair of wiring system for stereo ($56,000) to be shipped to Sony in Japan, including gas refilling and drive time – over and above vehicle repair costs
** replacement of CD collection in 500 CD changer in car ($75,000) including irreplaceable originals from Yugoslavian grunge band, who split and cannot be located
** replacement of car phone antenna, ($2500)

*** suit filed against Leanna, driver of vehicle who called in to the police regarding accident – as she was driving and talking on cell phone, filed by all ten lawyers

*** replacement of broken keychain, $10 (including travel time to store to purchase and stopping by ATM for cash)

**** marked as billable, cost of phone call to police by third party (Leanna); time lost in waiting for officers (2 minutes, plus 95 minutes to sort out fault, insurance and scene as the lawyers made a mess of it); reportedly talking and thinking about 96 different case files during accident, so all those accounts were billed also; lost paperwork to be refilled (though these were extra copies to be shredded – cost of reproduction, shredding)

racism

I think I finally got it ... I think that I have put it in a usable form. -- things I think about not really sleeping, but dead tired.
It's a matter of perspective.
A 9 -24 month old knows (object permanency) that if you or she puts a toy under a pillow, it will be there when you lift the pillow. When it isn't there, it defies your logic and total understanding of life in your very fragile stage, hence you cry. Now at 38 months, the child knows that the object can shift, not through its own works, but by gravity or movement and fall behind the crib.

At 18 months, you don't find the toy, you know it should be there, but it isn't -- it's all wrong, until you learn more.
So, prejudice is infantile thinking, however taught in some cases, that generally will phase out with higher levels of thinking. Therefore, it is a matter of perspective and intelligence, in that you find new information to further your previously limited understanding.

That doesn't mean, unlike a child who likes to learn (actually learning new things activates the pleasure centers of your mind -- habituation and predictability depress the levels after a while; therefore boredom), that all persons (adolescents - adults) want to learn much of anything, much less an understanding to which they have pleasure (learning, emotional attachment) which spurs feelings of loss and therefore pain.

Like any grief, it passes, however slowly, until such time that you adjust to the new perspective (circumstance)

new study shows

waiting for tests results worsens your health.
My folks are falling apart and today I thought, due to my Mum's mix up with what the nurse told her, that she might have had paddles used on her to jolt her heart back into shape. It was a fairly poor night for sleeping, followed by early start:
test here,
wait there,
45 minutes intervals, then ... do blood test -- pop ... done

your results will be posted in 2 days.
What's that ... an SAT you just took?! 6 hours and no mention of when or what?
My Mum has heart arrhythmia, has had at least one heart attack and is in poor health. She is having this done BEFORE she can have work done on her knees. Ultimately she will likely have to have knee replacements.

I think that they'll make a decision this weekend, then maybe use the shock difibulator paddles on her Monday.
waiting, wondering, not knowing stinks! I guess today, I'm grumpy dwarf or grouchy smurf or someone

My blood probably looks like underfeed tissue or starch water -- unclear, but usable

More numbers that don’t matter.

June 6, 2006. Is a day a beast? I swear! Some poeple who fear the number don't know the reference and never bothered to reat it! Revelations states that after 1/3 of the people die (ultimately it's cut half and half with Christ and Satan)* other destruction reigns, the beast bearing 666 comes to entice people to delight and accept the antichrist as the true leader to life (afterlife -- truly afterdeath).

00:01:02:03 04/05/06

11001010 why this? okay. How does it apply now? That's right coding is specific to use, not global as is any language -- take math (please), without context, still useless.

What is 121,323,040,127,502,702,038,402,157,824,021?
Is it a real number, yes. Does it have application to anything tangible or in the real world, uh, no.

long division of 12 digit numbers ... you don't do it, becaause it serves no purpose! If you understand the concept and can find errors in calculation or process, that is what matters.

also ... your age after 35 - 67. How does it matter? Your car insurance rates don't go down, your life insurance rates go up ... you can't retire with social security uninjured and are a senior. Age here, doesn't matter. BTW: I'm in that category. I no longer memorize my age. I have to think about it -- do calculations and stuff.

* furthermore, God, ultimate judge, wins out over evil and wicked are punished, the souls are retrieved and souls are redeemed and brought into heaven thereafter through Jesus' love met equally with God's. In this book too it is clear the inclusion of non-human beings playing roles (angels and their subspecies, demons and their subspecies) -- whether you accept this painting of the acts of judgement and the participants (non-playing characters?) **

** my categorical denied of species and subspecies of angels and demons is what it is ... they are unecessary middlemen, irrational and inconsistent with an everpresent God and Christ -- complain as you will ... no rational argument will look good on paper (screen) let alone bear out scrutiny

Schools of thoughtlessness (lampoons)

UN: fate of the free world rests in our hands; sadly we’re sitting on them
USA: we are not the world police force, but we do have branches (precincts) in most countries – American Express?

UN: we say it with sanctions
France: we say it with surrender
USA: we say it with tanks
Iran: we say it with rhetoric
Saudia Arabia: we say with duplicity
Africa (apart from Egypt): say what?
South America: we say it with strife
Central America: we say it with traffic (ing)
Canada: we don’t say it
China: we charge less for others to say it, we aren’t allowed
Russia: mafia, er, um … government says we say it with smile
Sweden: whatever
Switzerland: swatch, bitch, as long as we’re rich
Japan: we bought it … you owe us for saying it
India: we say it in multitudes

If the “it” were peace and we’d stop saying it and starting doing it … we would all be better, right … maybe. Pride, passion, possession; peace is left behind.

book I'm reading

is on mass murders and what "makes them" kill. Some of it is quite intersting, some passe, some disturbing. I find it hard to stomach that the psychological profession would busy itself trying to defned a homicidal person who has (blanket category) schizophrenia, which generally now is testable. Some psyc's claim that that person cannot reenter society. Okay. So why am I the lucky one to pay for his/her existence? I should be able to opt on on serial criminals on my tax forms.
line 296 a. Would you like some of your tax dollars to pay for the inceration of serial criminals, including cable TV, food, housing and equipment use, job -- denied to those who are on the streets? yes/no
296 a.2. you have opted no. Your tax dollars will not pay for their medical, or food. [excellent choice by the way]

A few psych's needing their own heads examined, would dissallow culpability on the part of the perpetrator, claiming diminshed capacity (or i.e. super angry that day), or permanently disabled. So why keep them alive? Take for example some captured mass killers who have -- surprise, surprise, asocial behaviors and lack of empathy, agression towards others. Would you then, place them in a workplace somewhere, next to others upon release?

Moreover, the "death penalty" revocation allowed some death row inmates eligible for paron. How do you figure? If the supreme court ever again puts a moratorium on executions, will the death row inmates be able to get out? How is that justice? So a person sentence life no parole is stuck while a death row prisioner may be released. That's bad law!

I think that the author, who references a great number of non-fiction crime books should impart in each chapter the theme of identifying early those who might kill. There are typical experiences that tend to trigger weak-personalities. I suggest a more clinical approach and find out who appears to have those circumstances (criteria as it were) and change their experiences. If they have a bad home -- get them out -- NOW! Don't let a serial criminal at 12 do a 4 year stint in a juvenile facility only to reap greater damage at 16. I'd rather clinically institute a larcenous 5 year-old than incarcerate a burgoning criminal of 10-12.

I'm not through with the book, but glad that I didn't follow through with psychology as a vocation as it spends too much of even academics in defending itself as a discipline, then finding errors in the law that punish the weak in social maturity, despite the person comitting violent crimes (like no injury arson).

1:23 4/5/06

Ah, yes. I have received a text message, and two emails about this numerical event. Sad. I don't remember 6:54 3/2/01 being as widely known.
Anyway ... will I stay up for this monumental event, no. Interestingly enough, where can you see the numbers -- a clock, a calendar ... a DVD or VHS player, no. You can't see them on an alarm clock radio. You have to see it on a computer, with the date setting shown next to the time. Late at night watching the computer turn ... says, something about you -- if that's what you are waiting for. I would say a few will see it, because they are naturally up at that time. Good for them!

Europe doesn't get that this month, as they orient the date as d/m/y, so next month, they'll get it too. They are also hours ahdead of the US anyway. They are now better forewarned that the US was. Look out Europe ... it's coming your way in about 27 days!

Also, I would predict a ruddy virus to hit at that time. Stinking fiends! They should be shot just as quickly as bank robbers. Worse than "tagging" or grafiti / vandalism, it affects more people than they could know. It costs thousands and millions of dollars, therefore ... execution.

I'm sure that some couple will try to find a way of incorporating the lost numbers or these numbers in their child's name or birth. Sadly, some people should NOT procreate.

Games and Music

sometimes they converge.
I remember friends noticed that the arcade games I played were Carnage, Total Annihilation, Destruction, Rampage -- sense a theme here? Anyway, I found a few other bands today. I found Stormtoopers of Death. I thought and was worried that they were a neo-Nazi or skinhead group, but that doesn't seem to be the case, thankfully. It was formed by Anthrax memebers.

I like my music like I like my games -- loud, destructive -- and I can turn them off.
Chao!

French II (econ course)

It was interesting that you pointed out 4% unemployment, but where? I'm was noting complete unemployment with my lampooning statement of, “care for fries with that”, but rather that the jobs available are hardly equitable to development of the person. A graduate with a B.A. or B.S. or Masters shouldn’t be relegated to a lower paying job because of a shortage of jobs in their relative field or reasonable salary level. While a person working at McDonalds might make $15,000 a year, $18,000 tops, that is hardly substantial. It will allow them to survive, but hardly thrive. Take areas that have an abundance of service jobs, say … like this town. Manufacturing, soon to fade away anyway, left a while ago. Medicine is neat, but the nursing staff is underpaid for the number of hours and patient load underscores that.
The USA could do great things with its wealth, but it is spent in … other ways beyond the scope of a voter’s capacity to elicit change. Granted, some monies and expenditures are well beyond the understanding or allowable knowledge of Citizen A, but funding bovine orgasm research (kid you not) is no a legitimate use of money. Non-criminals, I purpose, need jobs more than ex-cons. Yet, there are placements for recently discharged ex-cons.
Presently, the 35+ white male is disposable in the general business workplace. There is no inherent value to them, they are the downtrodden now. They are the less-chosen. I'm not writing that they are uncommon, but are more readily replaced by those not fitting the category of 35+ white male. So the person is “downsized”. Competent, yet not wanting or capable of starting his own company, where does he go? He, like others in other ‘categories / meeting other criteria’ take jobs in other fields, generally at a pay cut, restarting – fewer benefits.
The French students want, what others want – secure, safe, well-paying jobs. They aren’t running around, rioting because they can’t even get a job selling pants or shoes, but rather that they can’t get entry level into jobs that are secure – unlike corporate America seeking fresh new ideas. The French, I understand, have unions that allow the dinosaurs to exist, sometimes crushing out better suited species (persons). That system is flawed. Our system of getting new, fresh ideas works, but downsizing so many people, who usually go to lesser-paid service fields in poor on corporate America’s account.

Stats are one thing – 4%. So what? How about a real, valid, reliable breakdown of national, regional, state, and city employment. I'm less interested in unemployment, but rather where the workforce is … demographics. Would there be a large number of white males 35+ in service industries here? I wouldn’t know where to get it, but it CERTAINLY is more meaningful than a number of 4. Four answers a numerical question, which I'm not asking.

Kindly thanks to Smoking Gun

Pete Townsend found not guilty of child porn, yet:
had admitted to researching porn and writing a not-yet published manifesto, which lends itself to his wavering toward child porn -- as a free access sin, few deny to try.
That sounds like he likes it to me! You may fire when ready!

I put in sex offenders in the search there ... interesting things to read. I wasn't abashed about Dick Chaney's requirements. Who cares? His odd Fox News only thing -- just wacky. Reprogram TV so that CNN, MSNBC isn't available ... silly. That sounds like an addict trying to quit.

Closing on France (Rude comments found here)

Perhaps there will be more beheadings, guillotine, removed in 80s or 90s, resurfaces again or simplified like Cuban, Puerto Rican machette hackings out of (not justice) ... ah, yes. Retaliation, retribution, followed by revenge, begets revenges (return). Sit down with the new boss; the same as the old boss. We won't get fooled again.

French students look for jobs

Hmmm, I'm sure glad that in the USA we don't have that prob ... oh, wait. We DO have that problem. Care for fries with that?

Gnome Mobile

The 60s movie was classic Disney, though weaker. It had an interesting thing with older movies. Classic limitations of the 60s: double roles, in that a person couldn’t be in the same scene done well. It also had little people, which required, you guessed it … either terrible effects or enlarged scenes. They also filmed people in front of screens to carry out this affect. * see Airplane for great example on how to effectively use this (random road driving and running over cyclist.
Interesting to note that in one scene the girl gets a call to the hotel room and runs out of the room because of the news to meet up with her Grandfather, who just so happens to be at a mechanic getting routine work. It had an all white cast, typical of the time and access.
Two really funny scenes are having a person drop their weapon by holding a hand up as though holding a gun (not with finger out). Another scene was snoring scene to maintain the illusion that he was asleep.
As I saw Ice Age 2, one theme was mating. This too had that theme, in that the one younger gnome didn’t have any prospect of carrying on the species, as it were. Some time later, that situation is … uh, resolved. The slapstick is funny and I'm aching to get Charlie to watch it, so that he can pantomime the comic slapstick like swinging on vines and crashing and much, much more. I'm not recommending it, but if it’s there and you want to pass through a few sections … it’s fun, typical 60s Disney.

Matthew Garber, Karen Dotrice who starred in several Disney movies including Three Lives of Thomasina, Mary Poppins. Anyway, there was some familiarity about them ... couldn't place it, other than the other movies.

Karen reminded me of Paula -- hey, Cerpicio! You ought to see the film. I think her eyes (not color), nose, mouth are very similar, though the jaw line is different. Her smile reminded me of Paula. Check it out!

Oh, what was I doing watching it? I saw it at the library and thought that I'd try and see how bad it is. Hey, while I'm at it... I'll take Strange Brew. Whatcha want that Strange Brew for? The act!
Ah!!! TDS author is a dang sappy movie-watching fool!

Fool! (that's two drinks for those who play the Superfriends drinking game)

shaming when young

I saw a third-grader today, whose name shall remain anonymous. He was at the library, but had some strange bruising along his neck and near an eye. Apparently, he friends decided to marker him when asleep -- shaming. It was mostly cleaned, but there were odd circle patterns on his neck and 4-day old healing yellow on his eyes... which I was told were flowers.
He planned on revenge via his mother's make up. I suggested to him to take a photo of his work.

Shaming; to physically humiliate and embarrass a person through body masking, positions, physical change -- not the same as hazing requiring the person to consciously participate.

Looking for Sid

on flickr, I found "dang queer fags" kissing! What the? How about an always-available button of, "That *&!@ doesn't belong here!"

I miss Sid

I think tomorrow I will let go. I've been holding in some pain for a bit. It's time to let go. I went to Monkeyjack's house the other night and remember always letting myself in, finding a wondrous little, silly girl doing happy circles for me. Now ... nothing when the humans are not there.
Doors are locked, lights down ... emptier for sure.
I miss her and should have let go a while ago, but was never given much of a chance.

Goodbye sweety!

Govenor Hack Daniels

Well, let's see the old accomplishments record here.

1. sold toll road to German company
2. provided no new jobs
3. eliminated tax abatement on gas prices, making them higher
4. switched the remaining parts of Indiana to daylight savings time for nil

I'd say, it's time to be an unrestricted free agent*.

Tour de Spam

Thankfully, my spam count is now down to about half after 4 months of steady, thankfully filtered by earthlink, spam nearing and sometimes exceeding 2000. The last couple of days it's been under a thousand, yesterday under 900. I am very, very thankful!

Lost interests

I have watched each and every episode of Lost. I'm not a Lost-phile, in fact, I like to pick on it, like anything else. Through gitsiegirl I read up on the latest translations of cryptic writings on a blast door.
"A bad plan that can't be changed" -- something could be said there.

Anyway, I would believe that survival would be the first and only thing important at any time with wild beasts, limited food and no real prospect on rescue. They have guns, metal from the wreckage ... seatbelts for roping and high-chrome finish parts for mirrors. If only they had weapons ... oh, yes. They have guns and ammo. I would try to slay the polar bears, the boars -- as they mastered fire, they can smoke the meat, not that 40 some people would take long to eat any of that. They have golf clubs -- lightweight clubbing weapons; effective range 1-4'. Lock brought knives. They found a "natural" rock structure for shelter.

They haven't gone searching for the others as a whole group of 40, nor have they hunted the animals. They could all -- though smelly, be comfortable in the hatch, away from the rain and black smoke beast (as it were) as well as any known and unknown pests, and insects that would naturally abound there. In any other situation, the area around the campsite (or hatch here) would be more and more depleted of fruit and supplies, so a circle of destruction (blight) would grow out from the hatch.
This would clearly show where they are, but it seems obvious that the others know exactly who and where they are. They seem disinterested in killing them but have threatened their lives. They did the impossble (with real fire torches), instant ignition and extinguishing. Smoke and mirrors -- really.

The underlying theme of general distrust is okay, considering their fiction shows that they don't talk -- the 30 some people never introduced are not integral to the plot whatsoever -- why have them?

On top of all the supplies they do have -- including heat and power that they don't exploit, they could wonder around the coast for anything else. In a military theme, a clean line of 40 people is a difficult target to truly eliminate. There were some supplies on the Black Ship -- apart from volitile dynamite. Why not recheck everything you know.
It implied that the next episode would have the masses battling for the mound of supplies, the origin os which undeclared. They have a battery there -- a beacon. They had flashlights, from the flight and from the medical hatch -- they know the location there too. The bright balloon -- for what good it is, would make a great signal or shelter or rain catcher -- fresh water?
The paints, sitting idly by could be used to discolor a tree or two on the coast line to clear mark habitation or need of assistance. I'm no survivalist, but 40 some poeple, with supplies and a desire to leave would improvize and think of anything to survive.

A lying other sits in a vault, though beaten, reasonably better off than those who could be snatched out of the shelter, no one being the wiser. He even got milk-less cereal -- a luxury denied their airline brethren. The hidden stash of Charlie's heroin, mixed with saltwater, could be used as a simplified truth serum, as beating lead to no real results. The only other options would be fish-feeding, burning, or bear baiting.
An armed, crazy Danielle who slayed her own party, might be better used as an ally rather than a second anchor.

If I go on, it'll turn into a very heated, argument with people emotionally bound to the show berrating me, so I'll quit here. I met the same reaction to Matrix, where people defended it like a religion -- emtionally involved in it. Personally, I sum Matrix up to be bad fiction.

Ice Age Meltdown

It was okay. I didn't like the number of incidental profanities (mild, but there), cocentrating on mating, not really a kid theme. This one was Manny-centric. I suppose the next one will be Diego-centric.
I see here that I didn't mention the positives. I generally like family movies and kid movies. I liked some of the humor, the effects were nice. The story was, well ... okay.

More interesting was the post movie.

Charlie uses sarcasm: Do I see my home, no! (on Daddy using a different way to get home)
Charlie uses cunning: I want to get that one for Mommy! (later in the car about a different cookie) I've got a good idea, [let's] put the cookie next to my table [while I eat].
