Blog Master General
I'm not the blog master general! Well, you ought to have that title! I gave up reading your blog ages ago. If I were to try to read it, which I don't, I would have to take up speed reading, for there are tens of entries daily.
Yes, yes, yes. If I had a job, I'd blog less. So, if you know of a job that pays okay, let me know and I'll blog less, work more and be happier all around. Thank you,
please remit 42 cents for mailng US snail mail.

bang bang bang on the windows
I saw the movies Birds and wonder if the wretched things are playing out that movie now. They are wacky crack funky with slamming into windows. Hey -- birdie -- there isn't a sky in here. I would estimate around twelve hits a day on the window -- around the number of hits my blog gets. Birds and the blogs -- irony.

Cerpicio's Fire
We could play some "Fire Woman" by Cult, or "Fire ..." by Iron Butterfly
It could have been titled, "[my name] in charge of small campfire". "Benchwarmer exceeds expectations."
"Small housewarming"
"Audience Awed by Large Fire Display"; eh, it works.
Local artist fires up ceramics in schoolyard.
It says here to, "heat polymer to correct temperature before applying"
Conan impersonator dies, mournful crowd attends funeral pyre.
Thanks Cerpicio for the picture for catchy titles.

Go West!
Pioneers now, the Schellenbachs will be going West, well, very western Illinois. Doesn't that just pan out to typical reality? There you are, well settled in your house, life, job ... now a family of three and POW, you plan to move. Life either kicks you or is getting kicked by you. Hmphf!
Dear K.,
I hope that this larger firm pays for relocation or compensates you for your move of faith! I'm sure you took it knowing the changes. It'll be sad to see you four (your doggy too) moving farther. I don't know anything about where you're heading, only -- that it is NO CHICAGO. You might have some better travel though.
I sent your webpage to my brother-in-law, who's a department chair for AUTOCAD, AUTODESK (etc.) classes and training at IVY TECH (South Bend). Hopeefully, his students see your work, and listen to your podcasts.
.....
Though not needing cowboy boots and spurs, they might need to adapt to the locals ... changing customs. "You ain't from 'round here ... is ya?"

Cerpicio gets me to laugh
Yesterday, I got a call from Cerpicio and it started with a job tip for me, as I'm still looking for a job. It concluded with [drum roll please], "What are you doing on the 26th? You see, we're moving and, uh ..."
It therefore makes my year complete ... helping at least three different people/families move. For the last four years, I have helped at least three people/families move each year -- not always the same families. It appears to be as constant as the seasons.
Thanks Cerpicio for the great laugh and I'll be there to help you, your wife, and your cats move. BTW: MR called me on Monday and asked me directions on how to do a driveby on your house. He drove by and viola! He saw the present homeowners there. I hope there isn't a CQuin incident there.

Very, very disturbing scenes from TV
It starts out tame and gets wicked. I don't watch a lot of TV and I dare say that I wouldn't let children in my care watch much of it either. Deplorable. America should just turn off the TV. Now, if this were on pay channels -- not that it would matter, but if they were, perhaps it would make sense.
Stand up, turn off, go read books!

undeniable
Dear Annie: I would like to comment on the letter from "Jane Smith" regarding unusual names.
I am a teacher and have had classes with a Napoleon and a Wolfgang, and I would like to tell parents who are considering an unusual baby name to try it out first. When meeting new people, introduce yourself with the name you are considering for your child and see the response.
There have been children in my class who have not raised their hands because they were embarrassed to hear their names called. Children can tease and make fun of the most common name. An unusual one truly invites a lifetime of grief. I know because I also have an unusual first name and have experienced these feelings for 58 years. -- M.
Dear M.: Thanks for the firsthand testimonial. Parents who are considering unusual names ought to follow your suggestion.

4 pounds and 60 decibels
There is a neighbor dog who is especially cute, sweet and lovable. You'll know when he's out with the squeals. It's akin to the sound of an RC airplane in a not-so-monotomous tone. I was mowing today, and as per normal -- there he was. I petted him the best that I could but as high-strung as he is, he wouldn't sit still. I don't think I could get that ratio from speakers, and not so loving.

Constitutionally Gay
I looked through some old flickr pics and found one guy marked a nativity picture as a favorite. I looked through his pictures and he had loads from a Catholic demonstration or was it? There were many, many, many supporting "Equality". Equality for what, one might ask. I thought -- for what, gays? Yes, there was a group for gays -- marriage. There were Catholics in the mix supporting gay marriage, however that works.
Also there was "Jewish Community Supports Catholic Gay marriage". I bet they do. You see, the new slogan is, "Just f*** 'm!" Ultimately there will be fewer catholics, as there are more non-procreative parishoners. That's an ingenious plan! I don't know the state or city. The photographer's perspective was unclear, but the rally did give me one thing -- material for jokes.
Uh, isn't that supposed to be "love your brother and fellow man?" Yeah, love or (rhymes with duck) him, what's the difference?
We want a constiutional ammendment to declare that we're gay! Okay, you're gay [in writing].
What's that dancing going on in the center? They're -- oh my -- get the firetruck!
Sir, we must do something, they are blocking the city county building. Okay, rig up Judy Garland music to the ice cream truck and lead them away out of town.

career builder, the new unintentional cartoon
Are there enough keywords there? "Job, money, sex, drugs ... billions, trillions." I wonder if there is a limit to the number of keywords you can use. If you use that many keywords to get people to find you, uh ... you really aren't specific and I would venture that it isn't a job that I'd want.

trends
I posted many pics on flickr. It's funny. I posted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. scenes from his "I have a dream" speech and I get no views. I put "bulge" in response to a very old humorous British window washer commercial, 1 view. I use the word, "breasts" concerning a video where a woman is suddenly aware of the viewers' attention on her breasts, and pow -- more views. I wonder if I used other terminology for them.
I think it underscores stats ... sex sells -- women's anatomy sells better, faster, more frequently. To deny this is to lie to one's self. I should have named my blog something like that to draw lots of hits.
BTW: "cute" doesn't garner any more hits than "sweet"
"breasts" (or the equivilent), "money", [sexual terms], "chocolate" generate hits.
I also have nature pictures ... more common (public) photos of mine. "moss" got no hits but lady cardinal got views. So do "hot" topics like Hezbollah and Hassan pics. An earlier blog I mentioned supporters, well beyond the southern Lebanon area.

Man, oh, man!
I am so happy with the new form, sir. You don't know how long I spent with a long-winded spiel about why John Doe doesn't get the job or why Jane Doe can't be a part of our great team. The new form letter, "F*ing No!" is so refreshing. I put in the name at the top, courtesy of MS Word and pow! It prints off thirty thousand. Better still ... I'm not mailing a blinking thing! I email those bits and sit back and peruse the internet for stuff. Thanks boss.
What about the recipients? Oh, I guess the "F*ing NO!" should be simply ... "No, not at this time ---
loser!"
I got one with a stationary, watermark circled "L". What does that mean?

Just say no
I keep seeing this or a link to it in job searches. "Go Army". How about go away army! I still fall under the extended enlistment age of 42; for those bowflex users and I'm still not biting. Now, if I were a tactiction* and was guaranteed real benefits, I might consider it -- for seconds. I don't want to join army, navy, air force, marines even though it's a great place to start. I don't want to join the National Guard and defend my life --- oh, I mean the border ... of Syria, Jordan ... or the US, maybe.

Language
Firefox Lingo, my foot! Firefox B-ling -as are having all yor baasses. It's still in the crawling stage, beyond infant but still at todler stage. The syntax is terrible, making reading like driving on the grooved shoulder (bumps every 0.3 seconds reminding you to slow). Sometime soon, it will be more accurate, having a larger base of euphemisms and phrases. I saw a referring page to one of my blogs was from Sweden. Her blog was a sad one, with reflections of a passed loved one.

Hezbollah has a following
Israel sends bombs to southern Lebanon and Hezbollah sends out the word of the evils of Israel. I cannot believe at the following this group has. I'd say a group that killed 240 some Marines in '83, and will never stop attacking the military of Israel (as they have claimed), isn't a group I could support. The leader, cleric Sheik Hanssan Nasrallah has said that he isn't interested in a war with the US. I don't think that he can see the relationship between Israel and the US. I really don't see the US siding with too many fundamentalist Muslim groups or nations.
I can understand him having a following in Lebanon, but in other nations -- a wonder. As I was looking at flickr, a woman had pictures pro Nasrallah and against Israel. Now, I know that it's very unlikely, given her name and that she's posting on the internet that she's from southern Lebanon. I can just see her typing away, if covered, her messages on how evil Israel is, from a bombed-out building. Oh, wait ... no. She's probably in the West, away from the fighting.
Hey, make a stand for them -- join them in southern Lebanon. I personally think that she should be a part of that. Be a real groupee.
I did see on MSNBC that Hezbollah and bin Laden supposedly don't share some ideals and are from different groups, Sunni and Shiate. If that is so, and they have a tear war between the two, that would be excellent, but not for the citizens. I think, however, it might show the lunacy in their warfare in that civilians and children are preferred targets with missiles, as the military can be taken down with other methods.
Another thing I find amazing is why the media had to tell people why children make "great" targets. Obviously when killed, they end a generation, are smaller (weaker), and it demoralizes the enemy. That works only on small scales. If that group were to try that in America ... I think the US would evacuate everyone from Israel. Yep -- you all can have that place, for the next 500,000 years. You won it! [missiles in the air] Go ahead. Take it!
The US would not back down on targeting children. Hell! I'd break into installations and fire the nukes myself. Israel has an edge. While Syria has clearly sided with Hezbollah -- selling them weapons and providing shelter to terrorists; clearly they have to obtain them from somewhere, like Iran. If Iraq goes postal (civil war eminant), getting weapons through might be easy or impossible. Also, the US could snipe the convoys without suspicion.
I'm not a supporter of civilian killing, but I can't fault Israel from defending itself again as it will always have to do while it is surrounded by groups wanting to kill it. I still maintain that Israel, for whatever arguments people make against them, had a fairly peaceful area with Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Name a Muslim area or nation with Christians -- Jews. That's right, you can't! I cannot side with groups who kill non-Muslims.

hull breech
I was painting again. It seems to be my lot in life. I finished and when I was cleaning out brushes and trays, the outside well (not where one gets water) was filled with paint water and plant materials. Because of the materials -- the water went nowhere. I thought that it would eventually drain and went in to wash my hands then shower. I went to the basement (opposite side of well) and the paint water had crept in, along the floor (under the joining door to the outside). I dropped scrap towels to hold back what could have been a flood. I went outside and bailed the excess water from the well. After the well was 5 mm filled with water, very safe, I returned to clean up the mess.
It had crept under a storage cabinet, thankfully plastic and easier to move. It also went under the clothes washer, so I had to move it and clean the mess there. Yikes! It had been a while seen I had pulled back the cabinet and the washer. Goo, eww ... and gross! Suffice to say that the energy I had for the second coat of paint today, was spent on the water disaster. I am spent.
The good news is that God was looking out for me, in that it rained heavily in the afternoon and the plugged well would have been an issue, perhaps. Thanks God!

false forest footsteps
On the peripherial of the meadow, edging toward the forest, undergrowth eiks out an existence, protected -- given sunlight be virtue of the meadow. Approaching this, with camera in hand, I'm asailed with mosquitos on a misson of blood, successful for many. I'm deafened a bit from the buzzing, the vile critters entering my ear, yet I hear a peculiar sound. The rustling I hear is right in front of me. I stand silent, looking.
I hear it then to me left, then to my right. It sounds 5 - 8 yards away (~ 10 meters). I can't smell the thing. It's a person, right? The person or persons aren't talking and they don't seem to be getting closer. I'm at a loss as to what's happening. I'm so wrapped up in it, I couldn't hear anything else -- not even the incessant mosquitoes. Are the trees moving ... no. Their trunks are righted and the wind isn't moving the branches. What then is the noise?
I see leaves move. There is an imaginary line of bent leaf, then bent leaf, bent leaf... something fell. I look again, another, odder path, but branches, limbs and leaves are struck. Something's dropping. I don't know ... acorns? No. They are buckeyes being picked apart, pieces being chiselled away by the tens of squirrels in the trees. Flakes strike leaves making false footsteps.
I know this, because I stood under a tree with a group of squirrels doing this, where the flakes rained down on me. The ground around the tree, becoming green and yellow from the inedible/untasty parts of the buckeyes, in favor of the nut and the meat of it's center. A forest isn't haunted -- only your mind.

blown apart
Upon closer examination of the target, if not instantly killed, massive bleeding wout ensure death.
While I have my own little "perspectvie" on this small sampling, it is from Discovery Channel's "Future Weapons", which covered different types of explosions.
This prefaced a demonstration of a new explosive used in Afghanistan against cave-protected Taliban and Al Quada.

Kiss?

McLaughlin group debated, "Evidently, low approval ratings can be contracted through saliva."
What in the world were each of them thinking? I really doubt it was a kiss, but that was all kind of bad timing! Whatever it was, it is now and forever a kiss. It was a bad call. Left only with the dismal "what is the definition of 'is'".
The statement whispered to him should have been, "this isn't a good idea."

Israel
It hasn't changed really, just the ebb and flow of violence.
Iran calls death to Israel. Oh ... so, there was a time when they didn't declare this? That's much like declaring death to America. It's breakfast there. Have another bowl of hate. Do not question. Kill when not in adherance to the written and unwritten laws and rules according to the "religion". McLaughlin Group covered the Israel situation, but concluded nothing -- like anyone's point of view matters pragmaticly to those suffering it.

Clayton Bigsby; Black white supremicist
Moreover the shocking revaltion of his ethnicity, is the telling stupidity of generalized followers of anything. Blinded by preferred ignorance, drones follow tedious tasks for the goal of the hive-mentality.
In his, non-attempt to sound southern, Dave punctuates his Clayton Bigsby speech with, "white power" in an near-effeminant voice--perhaps not unintentional.
Who's the greater fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him? What's missing from the scene is Eninem and Pantera playing in the background--hate, rape, glory unto oneself -- hallmarks of sects.
Should Dave choose to retire, thanks Dave for all the laughs!

Shit her
even that would be painful. Look, can't you see it's the last act of a desperate exhibitionist?
I don't care if it's the last act of Henry the VIII, I'm leaving!
My suggestion is ... get backstage to be the prop person and make sure that she dies for art -- really, suffering and all. I don't like her and haven't liked her. She has been the face of Christianity, when it suited their purpose, now, she's doing a mock crucifiction. I'd suggest it be her last concert. Now, I'd do it on just principle -- in that I don't like her, but ...
now I'd be revered by Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike. I killed that -- thing, called Madonna.
I could even have either Robert England to jump onto stage to finish the act, or have a Hellraiser moment, when some super-graphic masochistic fatality. "We have such sights to show you!"
Better still, don't go and let the empty place pull in no money, leaving the "star" to fade away.

Vote for this Republican (if you're in Indana)
He is, by far, either in league with the most earnest people, or he, himself is so earnest. For this man, I always cast my vote. Mike Ripley, Indiana house 79. I may not be the most credible source for voting tips, but he's reliable.

interview short
The ramshackle place -- okay, roughly assembled place is next to a cemetary. Their external signs are absent and it's in a poorer section of town. Surprising, I see big names (in semi-expensive) signs along the wall. The reek of new carpet abounds in the place. My interview was short; likely depicting my chances of obtaining my job preference (if any job) with that company. The store next to them sold headstones -- for the resting place of dead-end jobs and job attempts.
It was, however, an interview.

Rick James after the slap
"Cocaine's a hell of a drug", Rick James confesses. If you ever want a reason not to do cocaine, watch Charlie Murphy true Hollywood storeis from Dave Chappelle. Candid display of degraded intellect from drug use.
....
In this scene, he was flying high, but generally happy. I'd like to think that if I iwere bartending, that I would, not be high-but exceeding happy mostly. Having to finally deal with the fifraf that came and stayed would weigh down on me. Ultimately, I would either surrender to alcohol or much more wisely, quit.

As bad as it gets?
Renaissance actor Hugh Jackman proves he's more than just a pretty face (or a superhero, for that matter) in this impressive turn as Curly in the National Theatre's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" Jackman, accompanied by acclaimed thespians Maureen Lipman, Josefina Gabrielle and Shuler Hensley, sings the show's best hits, including "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and the title song.
I think that's as bright of an idea as casting Billy Crystal as the president in West Wing or Ellen Degeneres in Vanessa Williams: Untold Miss America story.

Gettin' flakey with it
Blogspot is getting less reliable. I tried much of this week to go and edit my posts, to no avail. What is the issue? It's just upsetting.

3, is a magic number +
I got a mess of spam yesterday, crud! Thankfully it was sitting in suspected spam folder, but golly! It's been pretty clear for a while. If you are ever in doubt, and don't have the ability to see the email account who's sending you the "supposed real email", then follow the rules:
if it is 1 KB or less -- kill it
Magic numbers are 2, 14, 26 KB. I kid you not. I was looking for trend and that is it! What is magical about the email size is a mystery, only that these numbers are generally the spam email sizes.

Tar & Feather him!
In this nation's history, there were calls to "tar and father him", which in the 19th (1800's) they sometimes did. More often, a crowd woutd act on the unwelcome guest and usher the guy out, doing a reverse crowd jump. Too many of these and you'd not be running for anything, the concept is understood.
Old slapstick, '30s. A one-of-a-kind pair. Another comparable pair were Jack Lemon and Walter Mathou. One dying six months after the other.
...
Back to tarring and feathering. There is much of congress and senate that would do well with tar and feathers, then run out of town like free-range chickens.

One cup of this a day
10" x 6", even one, isn't really moderation. I understand two glasses of wine daily, provides you with some valuable anti-oxidants.

She's got a ...
Thanks Jeffy! You do know she could hear you?
Jeffy, "She's got a mustache!" about a young girl at the drive through. Yeah, it's called hormones. Teen years are cruel on everyone.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stop him, as he was in the backseat, his uncle -- my friend, was driving. I'm sure we got the "special" Arby sandwiches that day.
[whispered in the back of Arby's] "Hey ... did you throw out those dropped onion rings?
Yeah.
Well, get them for me.
But, I ...
Just get 'em!
was the error that I made, I chewed some shoe leather -- hence my need to replace them. This statement was made apart from the other one. My series of adults-only song lyrics and song titles really place me in a category by myself. No one else would stand close.

shoe shopping
I'm not that picky, except being able to walk through hallways and aisles without having to pardon myself through thick traffic . When I use the term "thick", I mean not only too many people, but thick and dense people. There were two thick persons in the way of shoe shopping.
They were non-too smart or gracious -- thick, and wore, probably 42" waist pants; thick! They were loud, and I was happy that when I shop -- I'm mission based, in that I have a plan, goal and I achieve that goal.
The "new shoe" smell will go away with greater use of them. peww!

employment depleted
I did a few marathon job listings readings. Now ... I read the "newest" and find 6 postings per day. If only I trained in medicine; pharmacology or nursing, I would never worry about find a job, but I might not like where I was. Anyway ... it's now simpler to read them. There so many for which I applied and others that have requirements that I don't have. Like an empty gun ... jobsearch engines depleted aren't a good thing.

Compliments of the house
Trash, on curb, bin, or in bags is still trash. The fact that it's free, doesn't magically convert it to something that it isn't. Congratulations, you have new crap! Free with thousands of more ads and shortcuts on your desktop that appear faster than old popups before popup blockers. Aqua Teen Hunger Force did an episode on that. What's old is new again, and AOL takes its subscribers to hell and they welcome it because it's free.
