How odd, it works out that way

I was trying to organize my flickr pictures and tag them with the right words, I found that I marked each Paula picture with her new name, as she was dating Cerpicio at the time. How wonderful and ironic that it turned out so nicely.

Thanks you two for making my life easier ... oh, wait. You did it out of love, didn't you. Oh, well. It worked for me!

True Horror

Shatner Se7en. The, "What's in the box" was not nearly as pathetic as Brad Pitt. After digesting this, I was left with ... hunh?

911 Shatner, T J Hooker Shatner, Captain Kirk Shatner
Where's Priceline.com Shatner, how about Iron Chef Shatner

Anyway, the Vic 20 ad was funnier -- crazy, man.

Sci-fi movie Tuesday night

What was that?
I would like, what I saw to Stargate, Final Fantasy VII, Judge Dredd, and Matrix, mix in I Robot and Blade Runner and you ought to have a cheesy, but watchable movie, but what I saw was the albino-freak gay show of Matrix (met equally with lack-of acting and plot absence) with meaninglessness of Judge Dredd with equal acting, and Stargate's theme of outer space bird-headed humanoids with commonplace aliens and drug use, complete with "You are to impregnate her. Are you willing? I see that I chose the right person".

What was that flying turd? The crap hit the fan there. Sadly, I was on the receiving end of it. I think the title was Immortal, but I'm not sure.

most dangerous drinking game ever

Watching Deep Space 9.  Everytime there's a scene with drinks, all players drink.  Every time a person there drinks .... each player drinks.

 

added dnager ... baseball = drink

double danger ... O'Brien + Bashir = 2 drinks

death ... must continually drink/sip during entire time of founders scenes

....

Next Lost

 

each flashback = drink

each time names Jack, Locke, or other 4 main characters are shoute = drink

each episode that they remain on island = drink -- oh, well, then you'll always be drinking then won't you

...

TNT

 

each commercial break = drink.  This alone will kill you, but

each animated graphic at bottom of screen = drink

then you die

doubts about new truck

I was examining this new truck 2006, Peter Griffin Built.  It didn't seem drivable:

shiftless, uncorking, unmotivated, energy consuming, selfish, overweight, pompous

 

I decided not to buy it.

*BTW:  I don't like the show

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

That's why I think I need to find me a Taggert.

 

Taggert, jot this down.  I want half-wits, dim-wits, gun-slingers ...

ideas and uncertainties --- putting down revolutions, drawing stick figures, 3-D figures, polynomial figures, paragraph essays in chalk on paper, spoken and in pantomime.  Now freed of this for the summer ... my mind wanders, not clueless but directionless

 

I hope that I'll be working on some thought-provoking project soon.

Spiritual sojourn and what makes a rabbit look like a rabbit?

In reality, people feel cold, lost distant from God.  The counter would be a big lug, Abomidable Snowman, as it was depicted by Warner Brothers, "I will pet him and pat him and hold him close .... please I will give him security [sits on Daffy Duck]".  Not only is this smothering, but the hapless, thankfully cartoon duck was crushed, squashed, squeezed, bent out of shape, severely spanked (at force equal to 40 mph car hitting him) then hugged again, never asking questions, seemingly peturbed by implications of stupidity, or that the "toy" pet would converse at all.

 

Perhaps, distant, ever-present is better, safer, unsmothering, soothing knowing that God is there and cares, but doesn't sit on you, blind to your fralities.  What makes God?  Does God have a shape --- certianly not that of John Ratzenberger, but in beyond physical existence -- non-gaseous, but shapeless.  God is, and that's all.  God and Jesus don't need ID and they don't need to speak English or Nepalese.

Acid redo

not acid reflux.  Pewww!  Forever have I known that my stomach exhausts such foul stench, deisel vehicles are sweeter smelling.  Where's the medicine for that?  My belches smell like stomach acid, rapidly decomposed food I ate and spongiform bacteria -- hence, my madness.

Points of lying

You started here, then went to here. I think you're lying to me. How about I get Vin Diesel and Ving Rhames to pull a number 6 on ya!

Now what?!

I am 82% sure/committed on the switching vocations. I wouldn't mind, at some time, being in a position to correct what's ailing it, but I think financially I must move on. There are 401Ks, better than the 403K I have now. There are real salaries, but at the cost of not liking it as well, but I shall take it.

Photography will always be a hobby, as it is too competetive to be financially gainful for me. I will simply drop this for something else and remember all that I have experienced and learned.

I think I'll try marketing.

Mulling it over

I have actually changed my opinion on a topic -- not so major, but a rarity to be sure. I used to write and speak about not legalizing marijuanna, but after mulling it over, considering everything I have reversed my opinion.
As a preface I must state that I haven't ever done it and likely won't ever ... apart from alcohol, life-time drug-free, though I carry the burdon of many other sinful activities.

Since cigarette use is being more heavily controlled , I see that now, with restrictions, marijuanna should be legalized. Specifically, the dangers of the true drug are no greater than the combined effects and dangers of alcohol and tobacco combined (actually less so), but each is controlled with warning labels. The government could grow it (smart idea) or allow anyone to grow it exclusively. The cost would go down, criminal activity would change, but be slightly reduced.

Conditions on operating machinery and vehicles would be as punative as alcohol, as well as work-related accidents all would fairly well match alcohol. Also, drug screening for at work use would have to be improved to target "time of use" as apposed to simple use.

Public areas, including parks, could/should be smoke-free anyway. Basically, a public ban on smoking in public places, but home use would be unrestricted.
Another provision should be that underage person exposed, who develop problems or come to school high on the basis of regional/environmental effects would be removed from the home pending investigation, followed by charges being filed for delinquency of minor(s). If adults serve alcohol to children, this charge applies, so true to marijuanna. Smoke, filling empty space (so to speak of minds) is more difficult to seal in a room. Therefore, it would be more likely that persons would have to find some part of their property where smoke can be contained (garage, basement, whatever), considering lawyers' would-be attempt to tag persons with deliquency from a couple of yards away.

Alcohol is taxed, tobacco taxed ... so should marijuanna, which would lead to charges of tax evasion for those not paying taxes on crops grown. Those guilty could have property seized and imprissoned as would any serious tax-evader.

The first decade, enforcing public dissue would be a nightmare, but worth the end -- fewer repeat criminals in jail/prison, and fewer $ millions/billions wasted in prosectuion and law enforcement.

Empty paper

Could my creativity be related to madness? I dare hope not, for last night, while happy -- resurgance of sanity, like a shower temporarily flushing away a day's worth of sweat, dirt, filth -- I sat staring at a blank paper not able to come up with more than 30% of an idea ... more than on the tip of my tongue, but more like:

A guy walks into a bathtub with a duck and a rabbit ...

and there it stops. I generally don't think of jokes like this, but my mind is usually a torrant of ideas, some complete and some bits, pieces, still needing care and assembly.

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

Iraqis have entered Iran, launching all of their available weapons on unsuspecting Iran.  The EM pulse forced blackout, with the electronics employment has laid open Iran to Iraqi weapons.  Iraq, also under blackout, suffers still from internal strife.  Insurgents are making footholds in key areas.  Also, the anti-Muslim Pact has sent forces into Iraq to wipe out the insurgents, but weren't precise in their selection.

 

Small pockets have been given power, communication to fascilitate the ending war.  There is no declaration, just a desire for lfie, saving, existence --- enough to make war happen to make a stand.

---

Another day, another hundred dead.  The peoples are unaware of the carnage throughout the Arab world.  The next to be hit, Saudi Arabia, Syria.  Their calls to Allah will seem to be unheard.  Paranoia, distrust, "religion-based" law and hate all contribute to the destruction of them all.  They do not seek help from the non-Muslim world, which in itself, marks their doom.

Keeping it fresh

So the top strip claims for that which truly needs to stay fresh ... produce; no, liquid; no, what else, but dry bread ... aka croutons. I suppose they could go stale, but freshness on old bread ... come on!

Senses fall

I am losing my sense of taste, I'm afraid, or perhaps my response and perception is slower, but .. my sense of smell is improving ... and yikes! I now have, tragically, shark-like sense for cigarette smoke, which I detest. Of all the things to smell so well, clearly ... bleck! How gross! I think I'd rather smell four day-old dead roadkill than cigarette. Cigarette smoke also worsens/activates my allergies -- sinus compression, bronchial tightening -- not asthma, but uncomfortable.

Attack

So there I was ... they were surrounding me. I had no choice but to defend myself. Here, a security camera shot this with gore plainly on my face from the zombie fight I fought for hours. It was them, my chainsaw and shotgun.

The man with the boomstick makes the rules!

Despite the zombie efforts, I was not dead before dawn, and was not one of them!

Alba & dolphins

Now ... with all of the "problems" she had with the filming, she didn't stop filming did she?

"They have very long ...", as Alba stated. Perhaps there was something else that this article didn't cover, like why they were persuing her. During dolphin mating, they mate underwater after, only after, battling for attention of one mate, but not exclusive to procreative mating -- as dolphins reportedly mate irrespective of procreative potential (thought exclusive of humans). They also use their "extra appendenges" in generalized play, and heirarchial pack battles, like wolves, but less on teeth on claws, more on flippers and "members"

Anyway ... how much of that could people see, if family and friends were taunting her with dolphin sounds?

MS jerks!

Hey! Did I want this? No, I didn't ask for it and I can't give it back! Ruddy jerks!

Yeah ... it's convenient for me ... not. I have MS installed with the computer's purchase. Would I ever be interested in verifying that it was a legitimate version .. heck no!

Wanting a Trucoat conversation

I bought a program, mp3 splitter, but it doesn't work. I wrote the author hoping to start a Fargo Trucoat conversation. In case you missed it...

- Yah, but that TruCoat...
- I said I didn't want any TruCoat.

Yah, but I'm saying, that TruCoat, youdon't get it, you get oxidation problems...

You're sitting there talking in circleslike we didn't go over this already.

Yeah, but this TruCoat...

We had a deal for $ .

Darned if you didn't tell me you'd get methis car without the sealant for $ .

All right, I'm not saying I didn't.

You called me and said you had it.

"Ready to make delivery" you says. And here you are and you'rewasting my time and my wife's time. And I'm paying $ for this vehicle here.

All right. I'll talk to my boss. See, they install that TruCoatat the factory. There's nothing we can do. But I'll talk to my boss.

These guys here. These guys. It's always the same. It's always more.

You going to the Gophers on Sunday?
Oh, you betcha.

You wouldn't have an extra ticket?
You kiddin'?

Well. He's never done this before, but seein' asit's special circumstances an' all, he says I can knock $ off that TruCoat.

One hundred? You lied to me, Mr Lundegaard. You're a bald-faced liar.

A... fucking liar.

Bucky, please.

One Man Band

Pixar short was good --- with the perfect character looks, especially of the little girl -- well-wisher

After the movie -- Charlie was actively playing with his Lightning McQueen (not Steve McQueen) to the delight of others who didn't have one. He pulled back the gears and let it fly off surfaces and crash thousands of times. Not only did he like this, but his sporatic audiences of children -- wathcing gleefully the antics of Car of Hazard. Some wanted to play with the car as well, but Charlie was less obliging, but noted to us all that one child (boy) returned it to him, say, "Here's [your car]. There.", which Charlie imitated.

Cars by Pixar

The friends with whom I saw the movie would contend otherwise, but I would rank it as, okay. It had "Hell" in it, though quickly stated, moderately muted tone ... no too bad, but mixed with 25 minutes of adult reasoning scenes, boring to kids --- I think that the pre-release should have been shown to kids to gauge target audience attention and interest. While the rolling back through time was neat for adults -- boring for kids ... the neon lights like Vegas, would likely be lost on kids, as well as V8 cafe

Cardboard stereotypes weren't bad, as they weren't belittled, but made for a simplistic view of the persons/characters for each store, though little is known about the firetruck, apart from quick-to-cry, sheltered, quiet, never speaking -- acting only in concert with others.

Monsters, Inc. rocked, Cars, rolled along too slowly sometimes.

Last night

Monkeyjack's dogs were loose ... in manner and in location. They ran rampant, chewing whenever they could, whatever they could. In the few moments when they were apart, they were a little settled, echo lied down, interestingly on a toy

lying down ... slowly, slowly, [squeak] down.

Your dog squeaks?

---

That would explain why his sister wants to chew him all the time --- ears, tail ... legs --- where's the noise maker?

--

the above shot is taken during "training", to which Echo is taking very fast, well.

Monkeyjack photographs butts

I read that Dave got his camera with butt pictures and Monkeyjack got butt pictures. I wasn't aware that I was part of this "game". Butts -- and those taken were either out of focus or ... well, not butts that fascinated me.

Germanfest; went there, did that

The light import was Bitburger, at $9 a pitcher -- rip off. The food, however, was a good price. MR referred to the German potatoe salad as bacon flavor with mild vinegar and bacon (yes -- lots of bacon flavor). The music was medium level, while the crowd was loud. The parking was annoying, but MR and I lucked out and got a place in the nearest lot. Interestingly, perhaps before MR sent a pic message to them, Cerpicio and Paula, Monkeyjack and Charlie, and even Jeffy and kids were there. We called it an early evening and watched an episode of DS9



[adult text area]
The episode implied vigorous -- injurous sexual behavior of Klingons. Apparently, they felt that merciless brutality was integral with sexuality.

Personality in bottle

Jim Groce would be proud ...

I was at Germanfest ... and low and behold, I have a personality ... hidden, tucked away in a bottle.

Goofy -- not quite stupid, "illin'" character emerged .. dare I say, interesting?

possibly related to reality

for twenty minutes I spent midway between sleep and conciousness: foolishly I tried to develop this to think and understand. I am not yet accomplished, but am a little better at this messy phase of remembering dreams, still vaguely aware of the surroundings.

I dreamt of walking in a lake, the shallows wonderfully weedy with tiny marks on the submerged leafs, frogs eggs, hints of fish -- thinking of life abounding, then
muted blue sky (partially remembering a poor picture I took with a camera; part of the roof making not a square shape but rather a rounded trapezoid) with a yellow dandelion next to a seeded fluffy, white puff dandelion; then
songs indistinct, floods of rainbow colors (not rainbows), then
my hands manipulating something ... control; then
voices, then
smells of summer, the lake -- knowing that there was an all-wooden pier next to me, a metal rowboat there too
I was supposed to do something

asleep

wake -- wondering what? How long was I asleep -- 12 minutes.

At this same time, I was aware that I was resting, lying on my back -- on bed, blue walls, dark room, I hadn't dressed for bed, instead wearing jeans and shirt smelling slightly of smoke due to a person who chose a conversation with me was a smoker -- I knew I was free thinking -- dreaming, yet could rationalize/reason ... why would I ever smoke pot if this is how my mind works -- madness, dwelling in bizarre random images, only slightly in my control, more just experiencing a carnival booth ride (closed trailer with parnoramic screen and moving seats)

I'm thankful that it wasn't interactive with bladder dreams and water spills -- eww!

on wings of whims

"I took the harder path" says the sinner, bandit Good, Bad, and the Ugly
No so -- as you willingly put yourself in subordiantion to your desire and momentary passions, it is easier, as you make no decissions at all, but rather allow the "passions" drive you onward -- beast of burdon, ass really, to the selfish anger or id.

Later still, having no will, you wonder why your life is now hard, as you have enslaved yourself, incapable of freedom for you savor your delegation to the other -- the sinful path you choose.

Gosh -- preachy, huh?

Anyway, I was thinking that haven been given choices often, I can see where I took blame as I didn't allow my passions to overcome me, and found waste where I took no active role when following my passions. The path lies between -- unmotivated passionless person or passionate, reckless, irresponsible person -- well better to stay clear.

Poker playing

the last time I played poker for money, I should have played it like Origami --- so many folds that you protect yourself. Instead, I entered into a desert isle ... no bluffs to be seen or found. Serious or unintimidatable. On some occasions, high-low games (highest and lowest split the pot) I placed first, but most often third -- invester getting not benefits.

Strange days

Sad that a person's death leads to joy in others ...

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi killed. Like Cerpicio, I strongly believe that within moments, the head of destruction will be replaced. When the mob is altered with the don killed or imprissoned, the mob doesn't collapse, but another head emerges. So true with most organizations.

Conversation with a sociopath

I was reminded yesterday of a person with whom I briefly worked who was a sociopath. It is indeed rare to finally indetify one, as their ability to convincingly lie is years/decades in development and mastery. I was younger, perhaps more naive', but his tales fooled many people, including at least three women, with whom he sired children. Sociopaths don't raise kids. Strangely, at nearly the same time of his being there, then leaving not to be seen again, I was reading a book on Arthur Shawcross; a fairly convincing liar and near-sociopath. I used to read true crime books.

I thought the author went too far in covering the defense lawyer's attempts and successes in blaming not the client, but rather cirumstances surrounding the client -- anything but guilt. In the end, the lawyer got him tested as being a double-Y person; yet he exhibited less than half of the symptoms. His planning and methodical nature and liar, belied the underscoring of double-Y syndrome, including no dynamic sterility, size differentiation, but did show sub-par cognitive development, impulsivity, environmental (self-reported --> little reliability) intolerances. This being the case, one would wonder why he would trek across a field in winter to defile and mutilate a long-since deceased victim. Reportedly, from this liar, he consumed parts, generally genitalia, from victims -- nine prostitutes. His early child victims supposedly suffered no significant post mortem damage from him, except for minor abrasions and cuts from his hiding of the bodies.

---
Back to the sociopath with whom I spoke. To augment others' estimation of him, he was a combat veteran who had slain a few people in the army, never divluging information useful to verify it ... convenient. In his glorified, self-improtance, he corrected me in my assumption of sniper rifle usage. While I was there, he seduced (like it would take much effort) a fifteen or sixteen year old worker there. The parents weren't too happy with the involvement of their daughter with him, but since he was the father -- he was "brought in".

Later, when his callous nature was better revealed, they found, through P I s that he was not in the military, nor had any real long-standing job, that he was older than he reported and that nearly everything that he spoke was a lie. I think they got little to no money from the notorious S O B.

I found him to be engaging and putting on aires of intellectuality, but he was cunning only -- not smart. His charisma carried him where is intelligence could not. It was a learning experience.

Reports are in ... this is real

Bad motivations lead to weird ideas. Pets that live for only one to three years with programmed personality types. I geuss the makers didn't ever the end of the sci fi movies on which their ideas are based. I think that the super high-end technologies in sci-fi films generally lead the dietyman to ultimate suffering, usually taking out a couple of support cast and unknown extras in the process. I'll make a ninety-foot scorpion tarantula so that it produces lots of spider silk and venom for anti-venom serum and hey ...
it's escaped and can't be reasoned with, then the population of town A is utterly destroyed, some mutated (for a sequel) and it is finally destroyed by the love of a woman, whose role in the mole is really unknown.

Anyway ... Go there, read, be amazed, wonder if the US will really allow the sale of the bio-engineered pets. Yikes, no more sea monkeys.

Simple Solution to repeat criminals

Kill them on the spot! What is the purpose in tracking them down to hold them, pay for their court hearing, trial, defense, incarceration, appealing ... in all appalling. I'd say it is now criminal season.

Step one: know criminal

Cerpicio interjects> Um...please define "criminal." Shoplifter? Speeder? Under-aged drinker?
[response]: the example given (link) was child rapist killer abductor. Let us at least start there.

Step two: find criminal
Step three: kill criminal
leave criminal lie dead or dying

I frankly don't care if an old nun driving a Vatican van runs over him or if a circular saw woker hacks off a leg, whereupon the criminal bleeds to death. The manner and haste of his death is immaterial. Criminals should die, fast or slow, just die. The dead tend not to commit crimes.

Sad coincidence

a student graduating from middle school has the name of Eric Cartman. He wasn't heavy, but the burden of his name is. Sad turn of events. Had it not been for the rude cartoon, this common and real name would not have risen any eyebrows when announced.

Blogging not jogging

has contributed to my weight. Also, I blog too much
not to be confused with Beavis', "I poop too much" -- from Do America

July 4th, renewed, redo'd

Indiana has repealed its idiotic law prohibiting explosive fireworks. I'm not in favor of blanket immunity, but neighboring states were, for decades, getting money from Indiana residents who traveled there to get sophisticated bang bangs. The yahoo idiots nearby, surely have high explosive works that they light and watch while guzzling local cheapo beers like Bud (and its kin), Miller (and its kin), and even more repulsive beers like Pabst, Old Style, etc.

Fat, drunk, stupid, jobless, helpless, hopeless ... is no way to go through life (hiccup, burp).

I'll check on fire clauses on the house insurance, as this year it might be wise to reanalyze the full scale of it.

Bombs bursting in air

gave proof through the night that hillbillies live near,  What is special about June 6, 2006 for them?  It was equally important as June 11, 2005 and December 22, 2005.

 

Fools are firing off ruddy fireworks.  Were they to argue that they weren't hillbillies, I might ask, "So.  Mr. Driesedale is out on Tuesday 1 a.m. firing off fireworks then is he?"

 

Gee Yogi, I don't think the park ranger's going to like this!

Parking at graduation

I had to park in Tahiti; or a lot next to a lot, next to a lot next to the school.  A traffic controller there suggested that I try parking at a different school.*  I was 2 minutes late entering the gymnasium where it was held.

 

 

 

* the school was across the very busy road

Walmart meets Roswell

to summarize ... is it real or National Equirer? Purchasable cloned hybrid new species with genetically programmed lifespan. Uh ... I'm still betting on bul____, but it wouldn't shock me to find that it was in the works.

Motivation

Motivational songs, lyrics, poems. During a graduation ceremony, they awarded students with 11.0 or higher for 3 years in middle school a special award in reocognition of a teacher who passed awy in 1999. Ultimately, with the theme of 11.0 or higher, grades are what are important to that. My motivation, Iron Maiden, Die with Your Boots On. Why such a song -- well, if you're going to die -- die fighting, prepared, putting your best efforts in your last breath. I'm not saying that you should want to exit Earth early, but if you fight to live -- achieve, you're more likely to be happier.

Graduation 2006

I get to experience this many times over this year ... neices and a nephew are graduating this year from high school and middle school (2 each).

I attended a neice's middle school graduation and when they passed it all out at the end, each student got a box. I was thinking in my head, "what's in the box?" (Brad Pitt voice here)

Rebel with man flaws

some person yells, "I want gay rights ... and lefts, and ups and downs, and back and forths, and maybe side to sides, or something or other, but I want em!!"

 

What the argumenter fails to see is:

Were a company to voluntarily carry insurance (also dependant on insurance company) on a life partner it would:

1. appear to condone the acts, which may lead to problems that it could otherwise avoid

2. assume a higher liability (based on statistical data -- skewed) on sexually related diseases (SIDS), but as a corollary be more likely not to have children to cover

2.a. unless it covers itself (CYA order) by declining pre-life partner dependants -- as their lifestyle now is non-procreative by natural means

 

Assumptions are that there is a chain of people trying to get people on the gay band wagon -- come on in and join.  I understand that some aren't really making a choice to engaging in their love for same-sex persons (as people might argue this point -- name more than ten guys who wouldn't engross themselves in lesbian sex, or women who feel comfrotable around men who seek men, but are social with women).

 

I find disturbing is the jump on in crowd who tries it just to be "fashionable".  Either you are interested or not interested.  To quote a skit from Mad TV, "If you think you're gay, then you're gay!" (to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It)

 

Look -- civil unions are for non-traditional marriages, which works.  If you believe God condones your marriage and blesses it ... then great for you.  I don't make those decisions and wouldn't want that job.

I would have to say that humans are generally stupid, using little of what they are given in that laws are written for the stupid in mind.  There are stupid law sites with laws on the books, many are unenforced, but on the books.  In some states, it had to be written that humans and non-humans could not marry.  If you need that law, you need a law stating that what marriage is, while differing in many religions, what the nation accepts as a marriage.  This is important as some peoples and cultures recognize poligamists, whereas the US, by federal law, does not recognize mroe than one spouse.

Where there is food there is life

There is no grand philosphy statement with such a grand opening, but rather that when you offer bird seed, you'll get critters that eat seed, like birds, squirrels, chipmunks (burrowing critters that ruin cememt walkways) and critters that feed upon them, and so on. There are birds here and I see a large population of robins. On occasion, you get a chance to see little babies. I will post a picture soon of the little heads, mouths agape at the nest. The mother is none-to-keen on observers of the nest. I expect white mess on me for my efforts.

Where the seed is, there are chipmunks -- three presently, with two already sent to a river home -- over the bridge and to a park near the river. They are away -- away. It appeared that I might have sent one each male and female. No sexism intended, but it's better to send a female -- as they are the bearers and caretakers of the litter/brood.

Giggly next door

Neighbors next door have two children growing fast -- well, normal, but they seem to be growing fast. Daughter (to maintain anonymity) talks little to me, be greets me well and giggles and laughs to unspoken jokes. She's sweet! Son (also nameless here) speaks more, but his language is weaker as he is younger than the daughter.

By the way on the highway

I have included this sign with its intentional humor. "Eat here and get gas"

I missed the chance to photograph the other side, as I was driving and passengers might wonder why I stopped to shoot the sign along US 28 in Central Indiana; "Stop Drop Roll". Yeah. I'm on fire, driving down the highway, wondering what I should do. Thank goodness there's a sign there to help my situation!

Trek vs Wars

While I grew up a Star Wars trekkie, I am not on the lunatic fringe of costume wearing or convention going -- while singluarly those aren't bad, together tthey tend to show the foundations of a weak character / personality ... that being disclosed, here:

 

I remember it was cool in Star Wars ('76) when they developed a weapon to obliterate a planet, with the unwieldly weapon of a moon-sized space station.  In Star Trek Deep Space 9, as I have been watching with MR, there seems to be a genocidal tendency, prediliction for complete and hasty anihilation through a planet's destruction, of which, in few episodes they mentioned has happened.  Apparently it doesn't take more firepower than all of the star cruisers, etc. to destroy a planet, if it is so seemingly routine.

Drinking Space 9

The characters are always drinking, be it alcohol or coffe, but no one ... no one drinks water!

A character in the show, almost always drinking had significant cosmetic surgery and becmae blind -- you'd think from the drinking, but no -- from reading. What sort of values is the show trying to impress? I now know why it is considered fiction

Allen County seeks dry spell

Actually, a this point, it doesn't matter if it comes from a wand, incantation or magic beans. We have had lots, lots, lots, lots, lots of rain. Now. If I were an enterprising man, seeking to extort money from the desperate, like homeowners who want their lawns cut low, I could rake in tons of money. Until the monsoon season ends, wet we shall be. My car, with windows down, was bathed internally while I was away. Lovely, simply lovely.

Dig ... pull, set ... it's days in the making. I was clearly outdone by Dave.

Crossing the Gulf without a paddle

In my experience, I have had a chance to review education, as typtified by a middle-sized city and the quarks and limitations set by law, regionally, locally, federally.

Ultimately, with some effort you can see the gulf (like that of Mexico) between continents. While it is shorter/smaller than either ocean, it is a long way. You seek to find a way to get from Florida to Buenos Aires, but you haven't a paddle. So this is typical education. There are meetings, ideas and wonderful ideas on crossing the gulf on floatila without a paddle, a modern enginless boat without a paddle; outsourcing the hand water stroking to another person (country or privatized company), but nothing has worked.

Realistically, all the theories still resolve nothing because of a lack of innovation and the funds to carry out real education for all. No, not just throwing money at it, but without funidng, it dies.

More analogies: You're in Florida and need to get to Buenos Aires. You can't walk on water. You are now without paddles. You could spend $20 on paddles, then rent/make a boat and cross the gulf in a course of a month, with aid brought to you by chance passersby. A cleverer way would be to load up everyone on a plane and take off across the gulf and land, but it's costly and carries only a few persons (tens-hundreds) at a time. You could bypass the gulf, go through Central then parts of South America to get there -- still time consuming. You could charter a cruise liner and haul many people there in a few days.

I think the plan to build a bridge -- "bridging the gulf" (of achievement) is an idea that could not work the way it is now.

1. Can everyone, does everyone need to go to Buenos Aires?
2. Hauling people there, having them changed little for their journey -- except for poorer and fatter, but none the richer seems a poor choice too
3. Forcing each person to row their way there seems too cruel, so ...

Option 4
Assist only as needed, like a marathon. The runners are running to a goal, for their own reasons, finishing where they can. Not every runner finishes, and ultimately only a few finish within the top, and there is someone who finishes faster, because of training, because of natural abilities. Others, who tried are none-the-worse for their efforts. Their names are unknown, but they have tried and accomplished something others can't, won't and don't. They have finished what they could, assisted as needed on their run, by drink tables, snack talbes, medical aids, but not one person picked up a racer and forced them to run further. They ran because they chose to run.

A cold hard fact is: if you don't run, you achieve nothing. It doesn't matter if you aren't the fastest, aren't the strongest, or have the greatest stamina or best timing with your stride. There are one-legged runners who perform, and perform better than two-legged runners. There are deaf runners, blind runners -- these don't stop them from trying. You lose if you don't try. No gain nothing, are spared "defeat" only in that you didn't run, now left to only wonder -- to watch it from the side. There is no glory, no free drinks, snacks, no crowds to cheer you, despite the fact that you're in last place -- cheered on to finish, just as the final winner.

To get education to each person, money is needed.
1. to assist, only when needed
2. to provide anything that the person could no otherwise obtain
3. support, so that when the person tires and cannot legitimately finish, then they aren't shamed into a closet
4. each person knows that not working, weakens the self
5. while the participant's goal may not be Buenos Aires, but simple the Keys, they are supported to get there too.
6. some obstacles (parents, peers, commmunity) would be extricated for better success for all

Germanfest weather

or whether or not, looks grim this year with weather. It appears it is the high of the 8-year cycle of local rain. Around four years from now, 2010/11 we will have the driest summer. It is now, wet, wet, wet, monsoon season here, and I'd rather see that long-forgotten yellow ball in the sky known as the sun.

Germanfest will run with a canopy over the party, but still -- hot, humid air makes for bitter people, regardless the fun of the event.
My father was three quarters German, my Mum was around half German, making me mostly German, however born in America, fourth generation born American.

Some people just need to be shot with reality before they truly embrace it. If you have to have someone tell you the obvious, you ought to step aside for a while and learn, right?

Da Vinci code

why would you watch a video based on good fiction, bad logic.

I'll write a book on changing your perspective on rods, cones, and color structure as defined by centuries of manipulation of the perceived. What if there weren't just three primary colors, but rather five and that your whole understanding of color in all things was based on a simplistic view, much like a lie? Wow! That sounds great ... does it survive reality ...

not to cheer

about Yahoo -- despite its name, I'll not "yahoo", for its limitations I see outweigh its 'virtues', like the pics being unavailable for full size rendering, but for print, acquired through Target. I think that stinks. My cousin, who uses Yahoo, made available to us the pics from a reunion, but I couldn't view them as large photos -- each being 30-50 K size only. The pics I loaded were 700K - 2 Meg, free to download, but slow to do pic by pic.

Yahoo needs some fixing with true users

Why I like my camera

1300 photos in 4 days ... not a single print, yet the pics -- for what they're worth, are mine. It can, at max, take 2.5 frames per second -- fast, movie-like speed.
I'm now excited about buying more crap for it -- flash, other lenses; you'd think that the camera was a lover -- to please and to placate it's wants for tokens of love. I'd like to completely replace my old camera, for which I had a nice 90-300 zoom. That was necessary for timid animals like deer, well weary of humans.

Melting

schools are typically not air conditioned. Where I was today was, but it wasn't running in the morning and barely moved air. I expect the kids to be puking in the afternoon tomorrow if the AC is again, not used correctly.
What's odd is that the summer school begins days after the school year ends, and at 7:15 in the morning. There will be some cranky kids, to be sure. What were the developers thinking? I'll guess that they weren't thinking, or expereinced whatsoever.

Writing from the road

We are traveling through Antwerp, Ohio with the drive through liquor store.

 

This is a little late in posting.

We have returned and are all, quite tired.

CNN leaning like Pissa

Grandmothers Against the War ... has 20 regulars.  How is that spectacular?  How is that really newsworthy?  Okay, so they make pamphlets, signs, noise .. and so does PETA.  "We sound more credible than a bunch of teen protesters", as one of the stated.  Really?  Are they really more, better infomed?  Now, I'm not taking a position on or against the war or our involvement, but rather why would CNN give air to this group?  I would not.  I chalk it up to luantic fringe, or powerless angry folks who amazingly got media exposure, who -- without slanted media (CNN, FOX, newspapers, etc. all share this trait) would get as much note as a fifty year-old homeless man with grungy clothes.

On the road to nowhere 2

We followed Jack there, who was the only one who surely knew the route.

Take route 8 to this road, then on for 2 miles on a rustic road to a T intersecetion, there, left to another hidden road then right to a dark forest ... then at the gravel drive, proceed with caution ... potholes galore! After a while you reach a hunting lodge ... there you are.

It was a nice place. I had never seen a lodge before -- bar there with seating areas and beer cooler ... orange clay pigeons -- volleyball net, odds and ends. It was neat, but neater with the people there. My cousins' children, I could hardly recognize as they had changed so much!

Rides

Family rides the incline -- pricy. It was on top of a hill, obviously, and there were few places to park. Parking: $8. I think we were robbed there. Somewhere in the mix of pictures are indistinct wild turkeys near the railroad tracks ... 2 blocks from the river. I think the view was worth $5 .. parking, not so much.

check out other photos on flickr pictures.

What the hotel didn't write

The internet -- highspeed as it were, is -- tenative, depending on when it decides to work effectively.  It's okay, but the 100 MPS has yet to be shown.  It's a good deal faster than having to just wait, wait, wait ... which I hate!

stopped at stop

Presently at 197 East on 80/90 ... near Youngstown... long, long, journey

 

Interestingly, the other car has sleepy, sleepy people there, groggy.  Dramamine; I'll have to get some of that stuff!

Geting ready for reunion

Several bags ... change of participants. The locations have stayed the same, though traveling in downtown Pittsburgh, PA to get to incline might be a challange. I doubt where we will stop will have free wi-fi (note Monkeyjack's ill experience with reports of free wi-fi).

End ...

plagued by rhetorical questions

Animal house: Flounder approaches a table where people are playing poker ...

More often than not ... I get similar questions that I meet with looks of ill-mood for their randomness or stupidity

Dented!

Marks of the event that put more texture to my car.

You might ask, which dents are they? The newer ones are white!

We're on the road to nowhere!

I'll just make this as easy to find as the money in Fargo -- along some post on a few-mile fence, in winter.

Knocks

stupid birds flying all around
into the window, from the ground
marks on the window, feather adhere
why fly into windows, utterly queer


As of late, one would think that the J Witnesses would be pestering the hoods, with all of the knocks I get. Also: others who visit, lack etiquette, ring the bell repeatedly, like pushing the elevator button to get the car there faster. Hey ... if you are trying to make an impression -- don't start by ticking off the occupant.

Firefighter fights

attempts to start fire -- futile. A firefighter who can't start a bonfire -- how funny!

My car

Gee. What's my Delta House name?

For now on, you will be called, "Denty"

Why? Oh, stupid question.

Neighbor today backed into my car and sheered off the mirror. It is now back into place, but the car has a couple of new dents -- not that they stand out from the others.

phone win

From phone woes to phone wins ... the phone is dry and supposedly works.  Let me hope that's the case.  I didn't opt for the insurance on the phone $5/month * 2 years = $120.  That's a lot for phone insurance.  Maybe next phone I'll get it.

Who wet my phone?

Oh, I did, in my haste and not well drying -- not drying my hands. It went into vibrate mood and I had to yank the battery. Later I found that's what they reccomend, really? I called the phone company, and since I didn't have insurance on the phone, I'm likely out if it doesn't work after drying. I don't have high hopes.

After talking with the rep, I was left with the impression ... (think of the joke of a person being bitten by a rattlesnake in a bad area), "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said you're going to die" (said the "friend" not wishing to suck the poison out of the area)

Should I be labeled as a hazard?

Apparently my sister thinks so, with this odd magnet that was attached to my birthday card, some time ago.

I think I'll keep it!

Crazy Climber fixes screen

One screen in the garage needed replaced.  Putting in the new one was difficult.

 

1. Stand high to put screen into place, starting point 6'.

2. Then go behind the window, outside, stand on lower ground and fail.

3. Climb on fence and hang on to nothing and install screen

4.  Done -- luckily no broken bones

 

Theory is always easier than reality.

Miraculous shot

Monkeyjack was on his roof, washing out his gutters when he mentioned to me to "look out" when he dropped the hose.  The result was that the ladder fell and the hose, as he predicted, landed handle down -- spraying.  He guessed it would hit me, but instead hit my bag from grocery store and my jacket.  Nice shot, Jenson!

 

If he would have hit with the hose, not water, I could have deducted another full point from what he owes me, from my incidents of hitting him, once on the first day of honeymoon, before they left town.  I nearly gave him a concussion.

 

I doubt he'll match that one.

One gun to kill them all

well ... technically, a truckload of ammo and a gun and miraculous accuracy, luck, tactics, and determination, but if you hold your breath, I feel a man like you could do it!

I just looked at a criminal history (sex offenders) in the several zip codes making my city.

Shotguns, though leaving some chemical signature are relatively traceless, but only effective as close-quarter weapons with no potential for silencing. I did see the Extrme2 video, showcasing the very limited recoil autoshotgun, with 3/4 length barrel, 8-10 shot max load, farily lightweight (compared to other shotguns). At >$2,000, I'll wait on it, but lawyer season, courtesy of Dick v.p. has started. I like sex offender season should open soon too.

Frankly, putting them on a flotilla for navy shooting practice makes more sense and more quickly recycles the biomass, but that just won't happen.

Trampoline shake up

not as tasty as the fair lemon shake up, but just as acidic ... stomach acids coming to visit me ... yuck! I spent 20 mintues bouncing, but my stomach spent another 15 after that. No amount of water could console my stomach. Puppy poop abounding ... not helpful for the stomach either.

I was with Cramers and Amanda; puppies chewing, brawling, crawling -- Charlie wanting only to play his games -- I was 'ill' so limited.

To the mix, a pizza (which I should have opted not to order, in favor of bread sticks & cheese, with gooey dough. Anyway ... a good time, but I was a disspointment for the kids as I will tired from working landscaping, then little rest ... illness following. I hope next time I can be a real person and feel well ... do and run and play.

shopping drones

garage sale this weekend -- yuck! I don't sell, don't buy, but am angry that I can't leave my place due to the gawkers who try to shop and drive at the same time. Yoikes! I'll just travel across the street, lines of vehicles along the street -- down to one vehicle traffic, and my kids will be as careless as I am, not looking expecting not to be killed.

When is it Sunday?

Working

Project: restore a house that has been neglected for many, many, many (ten some) years. I put in time today to help, as my father was down to just one arm. It was okay, thankfully few "bosses" dolling out orders. We left around 11, putting in 2.48 hours in, and saw 3 trees chain-sawed into firewood. The inside filled a third or more of a dumpster. What a wreck! The foundation was also terribly cracked and a 15 pound chunk came out of it. The church owns the house -- and they can have it!

Cultural Mural smut

I went with the folks to Liberty Diner

and saw a mural on the way. It was a whole side of a building on a "gentlemen's club", right next to hourly-rate hotels. Next to the hotel is a nice little diner with Greek flair, thematically Statue of Liberty

Enjoying

in light of my anger ...
I got a great number of hugs today ... they were well received and welcome.

Oh, I'm an ____________, but I'm a charming and at-times, likable _____________.
I was also able, barely, to drop off thank you notes to a boy who wrote me a very nice note, writing that I was funny and a good teacher. Well ... I'll agree to funny-looking. Anyway, the year is closing and summer holds life anew -- something greener?

Choking on spit and hate

Embittered by nothing, saying something sounding like 8 you, spluttering inconsistencies, or therefore ranting about things I can't change.

Lifetime probation for child molesters with permanent GPS trackers.

How do they know where we're going? Yeah! Gee, thanks!

What if it's removed. What if it doesn't work? Where would it be located? Who would keep track of it and what would they do about it if they had the information. It looks good only on paper. What would be nice is if they used it to keep them on target as the missile is moving in on them, or if a chopter has him (her) on target for quick removal, save the need for a street cleaner.

I'm a very angry man.

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

Impacts!

Nuclear missiles have struck throughout Iraq.

Now, days after ... Iraq mobilizes any and all forces to attack Iran. It launches SCUDs first, destroying, what were towns. Unknown to them, nuclear weapons had vaporized many Iranian cities and towns, allowing the Iraqis to believe in a greater success on their initial attack.

Over the boarder many troops travel finding only waste and destruction. Large black, charred areas and volcanic black glass lies strewn throughout the desert. Only a few are allowed to be educated enough to find danger here, most are grunts, trained hastily, fairly well-armed, but ill equipped. Headlong to their victory, they believe -- in slaughter or in matyrdom.

Iraqi insurgents are gaining a larger foothold within Iraq. Under a semi-permanent cloud of dust, debris and communication silence, the US military is moving forward toward key cities. The insurgents race out to meet many of the military, finding no Iranian troops.

Sniper drones (unmanned drone aircraft with a sniper rifle and many rounds) skim above, and while dust provides the opportunity, they fell armed insurgents lurking in the dunes. A small section of desert is set up as a four week shelter and HQ. Large vehicles churn up the desert continually, shielding anything within the cloud. Jamming from the deposited electronics shroud nearly all of the Arabain area (viral spreading) with static.

Troops begin small forays into areas, assisted by stealth bombers, drones, and pre-launched working satelites.

Little aware are too many of the doon that awaits and the expunging of the "old world" for the new order.
AD 07 (Arab Destruction by end of 2007) appears to be on schedule.

Idea infertility

Not coming to fruition, is one thing, but early lobe (uterine) separation leading to abortion of idea is typical with me. I could start thinking that I have an idea … changes, whimsical augmentations of the surroundings, expecting the joy of having the idea, but … no. It was not to be. As of late, my mind has been trying to impregnate a fine, too-be developed idea, but always, intrusions halt the process. Alas!
