Why you may want to read, before you go forward

So, let me get this straight ... Coleta, CA to Brooklyn, NY has to do with UK, Germany, USA and ... I'm confused here, why is Texas introduced?
If you follow the bread crumbs, I think you'll see that you don't know who this is ... not to mention that the courier blah blah blah company doesn't send you an email with their address on it. I wonder how many people they netted so far.

Violence of some people
I was at MR's a long time ago when we happened along this particular scene from a series on "getting caught on camera". This sadist needs ... um ... removed from the planet. While he raped an art piece, nonetheless he did "rape" it, and didn't care for the consequences of his actions destroying the pinata's usefulness.
He's statements of, "well, they had it out there, tempting me... got bored while working security there ...", clearly denotes a deranged and criminal mind, with anti-social personality. He had to acknowledge that he did it ... it was clearly him. He, however blamed the company for having the pinata there to "tempt" him.
I wonder how many other things or animals have suffered from him. I say duck season and I say fire!

154
I was thinking about the movie 300, but this number is more important. It is my weight. I have finally broke the government standard for overweight and obese to being high average. If I could get to 153 I'd be a good "healthy" weight, but 154 isn't too shabby. My weight will still fluctuate, but it's nice to see me with fewer pounds for once. I guess running around like a beheaded chicken, not eating lunch or much of one and never resting adds to the weight loss. I also lost some potassium, as I am always needing and "aching" for it.

loose change. reviewed
Conspiracy theory ... government working against US citizens ... sad. The most interesting bits are the "questions". The loose bits here and there. The stupid parts are the "explosions" within the buildings. One group analyzed the movie finding a number of errors. Overall, sketchy with hints of counter communism.
The interesting bits were size of explosions. The witness statements were subject to debate and much should be taken as .. uh, okay. It is, in points, quite interesting. Available at YouTube, mind you ... dubious material and it is a conspiracy theory short.

Returning to the past
The Allen County area of Indiana used to be a swamp and parts, few, still are. The last few downpour days have brought us to the wonder of the swamp of the eighteenth and earlier centuries. The waves of grain and hay and grass are as tall as sunflowers.
It is a refreshing look, appearance from the crunchy yellow and brown -- green, green, wet and sweet. Of course, mowed it smells much of cow manure. There is nothing quite like it, fresh lawn, sweet, green and the breeze of waning summer.

dismissed oblivious
I am reading "The Language of God", and while it is bothersome the level to which he relies on C.S. Lewis, I find the present ongoing praise annoying. He yammers on and on about how monumental it is that there is just the right Oxygen and just the right Carbon to sustain life.
While humans are unique in our environment, perhaps the galaxy, universe and cosmos, we are not unique in being. Other things exist far beyond our wildest dreams or understanding ... wholly missed by the author. How about anaerobic bacteria that manage to move and replicate despite imeseasurable odds against pairings? Who's to credibly say or write that there are not existences and bodies that deny our physical understanding?
I'll try a bit more of the book, but it seems to me that someone touting their intellect but missing this "obvious" reality or potential is bar none -- stupid. God's existence is beyond understanding. I point out here that a fly, that has no brain, is capable of flying, avoiding danger, mating and eating and "knowing" the difference. A person is a damn bit more complex and ought to be able to do much more than mate, eat, and die. Humans rely on animals and plants, and they rely on animals and plants. God's work is shown ... despite being written, it is the missed obvious.
If I were to pull an MIB and view the expanding universe as merely a marble played with by a strange species larger than our system itself, then conversely, there are infinite universes within any thing -- an electron, therefore might very well be the universe or plant for the Whos, as defined by Seuss in "Horton Hears a Who", also made famous by "Grinch Who Stole Christmas".
I agree that it's beyond great that I exist and that it is bar-none, a strange circumstance that gravity is what it is, but life will exist in many forms, regardless whether others "predict" it or not. I got about four sentences of science that was interesting, but after 40 some pages, I'm losing hope that this book contains much science -- being fact, not faith. You can have both, but I don't think you can write about both effectively weaving them together.

prayers please
My "pooh bear" uncle is in hospital. He's doing ok now after the gallstones removal. The esophogeal aneryism is the problem and there is no word from cousin Dave as to when they will deal with that -- he doesn't know. So if you have faith, and are willing to pray, please do for my uncle who needs love and hope. He's as affectionate and as lovable as Pooh Bear, so may love find him, through your voice or others.
Thanks!

Coming live from HP
Well, my iffy computer forced me to buy another computer. It is lighter but wider. It is pretty sweet and after a few little misses, I found out how to find networked computers, namely my old one, to transfer the several gig of pics and files that I want. The sad thing is, the network transfer rate is, well, slower than I would like. It will take some time. I cannot complain much, though the AC adapter seems "picky" and therefore worthy of fixing or replacing. I will get an $80 bugger when I can. I'll have to find out how much the repair on my old computer will be. It would be worth ... tops, $200.

What stinks?
I was driving and smelled the typical regions where I travel; paint from a company followed by pasture. The smell of pasture was stronger and fouler and I soon found out why ...
There was a dump truck in the right lane with its back filled high with stuff, like fertilizer or manure and, of course, two dead cows. It was an odd sight, as well as the curious shovel on the side of the dump truck. Something tells me that there were more tools and machinery used to moved the cows than a shovel. Either that or Paul Bunion had children.

I did a good thing
I pushed someone to finish what she had to do to start her college courses. She came in last night to tell me that she registers next week. Despite my evils, bitterness toward work, general vileness, I did something good. I got someone to complete a task that she needed to do, for her own benefit. I didn't try to push her into going to college, but rather to take the steps to get there since she already had plans to attend.
I am still evil, mind you.

it seems to me these were missed by many followers
The Purpose of the Ascension
The Quran explaines the reason for taking Muhammad on this miraculous journey as “to show him our signs.”
Some of the other purposes of the journey are as follows:
Declaration of the universality of Islam
o By leading the prophets
o By praying in Masjid al-Aqsa
Warning the Kuffar of the imminent punishment
The twelve commandments:
o Not to commit shirk
o Kindness to parents
o Respect others rights
o Avoid spend thriftiness
o Do not kill your children
o Do not commit adultery
o Do not kill
o Be kind to orphans
o Fulfill your promise
o Be fair in your dealings
o Do not be suspicious of others
o Do not be arrogant
Prelude to Hijrah
The obligatory five prayers
Huh. It seems to me that killing is what they do and killing their children is what they do and respecting others' rights isn't what they do. I guess they had a book with missing pages, right?

Arkansas couple arrested
for having more children than they can count. Jim Bob claims to be able to count to twenty but was stymied at eleven, which was followed by, "elevenies, farteen, da next one, den anudder one" (seen pointing to his fingers) "and dar! Counted dem all."
Locals expect the Duggers to have sibling grandchildren (as a course of sibling incest) sooner than a formal education. "We learned 'em all about 'potent stuff and dey picked up that last bit themselves." A mix between "Flowers in the Attic", "Deliverance", and the Walton's neighbors two miles down ... Duggers. I wonder how much money they get from the state.

Laptop crash
My laptop took a tumble and is now half-functional. I might have a lead on a used laptop, but will shop around a bit. The tip given to me was, "AVOID VISTA", and by golly I'm gonna avoid it. If I were to buy a new laptop -- lower cost HP or Toshiba, I would have to take Vista with it. Blah! I don't want it and would spit it out like a child would asparagus with broccoli florets and anchovy paste vinaigrette. Come to think of it ... most adults with taste buds, myself included, would spit out that too.
If anyone knows of an XP laptop is reasonable order for a reasonable price $1000 or less area, let me know, eh?

There's tax revenue from a source that could be used. So, rather than update fire service to an area or fix city streets or buy more salt for the Winter, we'll dump money into a project that seems life itself is trying to crush. Dear city government, do not proceed with this doomed project.

making up rhymes with bad English
"half" with "math". It really doesn't match, unless you have such poor English skills that "math" is pronounced, "maff"
With that you could just "wiffle while you work". Wiff dis wing, I doo dee wed. I spelz fein, funker, wuz yo callin me a foo? I dun need no skool, I'z richer den yo, and gots me so much ice yo kan skate on dis ---ger.
Yep, Dr. Martin Luther King would be "dun proud y'all" made it to where Obama gets backing for Presidency and many Blacks are still using the "N" word for themselves. Yep -- he'd be so proud you made it. Way to go rappers for paving the way backward -- reinforcing stereotypes and encouraging youth to stay permanently defiant and fairly ignorant.

Well, I saw a picture of statements printed on car windows divulging some ending statements about Deathly Hallows. I will correct them, as they are a little erroneous.
Voldemort marries Snape, they have three children.
Hagrid kills Harry
Hermoine and Ron kill each other because each thinks the other is a stupid "git"
Neville seriously wounds Rowling for bad parts in her books.
Dumbledore was really hidden underneath a coin in a study and wasn't actually dead.
Uncle Vernon contracts cancer and has a change of heart -- ha ha.
The Death-Eaters rename themselves the Trans-fat avoiders.

not as random as lightning
There's a spat, fight, separation -- pending divorce, then reconciliation, but ...
truer to life than a soap, one of the two, at least one of the two is flirting with danger and another person. Yeah, the reconciliation is sincere -- right up to the, "honest" word which is a lie.
At work ... someone is trying to sabotage his/her life by screwing around -- or leading to that. Yup -- choosing disaster over fixing. How surprising!

Yesterday's gone
Echo greeting me!
Well, I met up with Monkeyjack and family yesterday. We met at Munchies and we had the beer sampler -- 10 beers in 2oz shots. There was a Chardonary-esque beer that was bad, but most were fair. I liked the American Red of Mad Anthony Brewery. I wound up getting an accidental free beer. Monkeyjack was kind enough to splurge and take the whole bill -- I owe him!


We then went to Zesto's ice cream and later to Monkeyjack's place. There, Charlie wanted to show me rented games -- Chicken Little being his favorite of the two.

Thankfully, while expensive, it is now working. The power pack, now number 3, is garbage. The guy there is ordering a refurbished one. I credit these guys with diagnosing the problem free and finding a solution. I suggest, if you ever need computer aid, to seek out these guys.

Deathly Hallows
Okay, well ... it was a fair conclusion, parts needlessly contrived and long-winded, but a good deal better than book 5 -- piece of garbage. Anyway, the only bits I'll add, not spoiling a bloody thing:
it is a dark book, you get to learn about Snape -- more than you knew.
There is no spoilage here ... I've given away nothing. It also finishes with a "now what?" epilogue.
If I were to rank the books, I like the books in this order: 4, 1, 3, 6, 7, 2, 5

short about work
Computer is "glitchy" supposedly. I imported data last night and I could not, for the luck of the Irish, get the thing to sort out the differences between what the left and right were. Unit one noted some dollar figure and after loading that data, unit two found different numbers. After a while I surrendered and just said, forget about it!
The IT guys had to do some scrambling for ... the left hand cheifies had one thing planned, but the right hand IT guys weren't up to date on the time frame. And the more of this I see I wonder to myself, how profitable it could be if they were efficient by communicating with each other.
I left work last night and remembered, after months of working there, it had not seriously downpoured on me upon leaving. So, except for my sweat, I always went home dry. Thanks God!

I didn't wait in line for it
I was at Walgreens, they had a rack of Harry Potter, so I bought one.
I read about half of it so far. It is dark and consistent with her other books with periods of unnecessary dry spots and the Scooby Doo clues and mysteries that one wonders why it would take weeks or months for teens, especially smart at casting spells and tactics to put together puzzles like:
people, soylent green, is
So ... we have a few combinations leading to soylent green is people, okay, yeah ... that's important.
My other little complaint about her style of writing, though clearly geared for kids, is the stuff in the background IS important, like the cast of thirty some characters you've developed. Let's just talk about seven of them, alright then? I guess, it seems to me that you write one thing, then forget it a few chapters later or a book later. Odd anyway.
I think the avid Potter readers will enjoy the references to the other books and the little tidbits and red herrings in this last book.
Let's read this ... nope, given nothing of the book away. Enjoy, or not.

technically speaking ...
So, I put together a project for work. It took me a bit of time. I emailed the work, but thought I ought to have a back up plan if that fails.
Yep, the server got 2 of 30 emails I sent. I also put the work together so that the people there had only to click on file, then hit print. Apparently, that was too technical for the GM. I showed him click, print.
I discovered that the margin parameters (maximum range) for the presently-used printer were inferior to the printer I use at home, so, I will later show the staff how to go into MS Word, click picture and change the size allowing it to fit neatly on the ONE page for each and every entry.
In the end, I got a, "thanks".
It will be good to leave that job and leave them as they left me ... "buried alive in the center of a dead" vacuum of complacency and idiocy.
They can then shout, "Khan" very loudly so that it echoes into space.

American consumers brought to their knees
Full of want and "to be the first", American consumers do what the Soviet people did in the 80s, wait in long lines. In the U.S. we have fools waiting in long lines for:
X-Box, X-Box 360, PS-2, PS-3, PSP, iPod, iPhone, Harry Potter, new entree at fast food place.
Let's face it folks, if you have that much time to waste ... say 90 minutes waiting in line for a movie ticket to see it first day, you've got too much time. If you wait for two hours for ride Vortex 720 roller coaster ... something is wrong with your brain.
If you can't wait to get a 2008 model so you'll pay the extra $2000 - $5000 for the "rare" opportunity, then you've got a want problem. I think that I've had time off a job for a while then working a fartload of hours and that's given me a better idea that I don't want to waste my time waiting to be third in line rather than just go another day. I don't dance around with bragging rights, so I think I'd rather not waste time waiting in line for something that I can get later.
Gee, if I don't get it now, it will be $5 more. Um ... OK.

I was looking for a job when ...
I found a posting for writing, creative management of Netsmartz. They even have a few small area videos. The one I watched was about a thirteen year-old girl who ran away with a fifty-six year-old man (murderer) who was jailed for 25 years. The girl is safe now, but how safe could anyone in that family feel, really.
While I might not have what it takes to get that job, it was refreshing to see some site out there to protect through education.

oh, no ... tears are fallin'
Whimper, tear ducts working, sadness, inconsolable. She cries, peeved, no point talking about it; she's young, tired and presently irrational. Yep ... I've been around enough teens to know that some fits of high emotion are like fireworks; safe at a distance only. I couldn't help her, but was sad about it nonetheless.
The next person was different.
"[my name], [person's name] is on the phone for you."
Me? I figured that that person would prefer speaking with the GM, but I got the "opportunity".
She fought with her hubby and things went crappy from there. Essentially, she went spiraling down like shot bi-plane. Her decent wasn't as fast as a modern plane, but there was no way to escape it, except for bailing out without a chute. I already helped her in one way and much to no avail.
To embitter me, the husband called one day prior and needed to talk with a male manager believing that I would side with him because of male camaraderie. Dude, I don't know you. Don't pretend we're friends.
....
Camp counselor ... my first best duty, but it doesn't pay for squat.

homework done
I got a "homework" assignment. I finished it. I'm still peeved that, while I finish my projects, work, and make timely simple suggestions -- "that guy is full of shit" pisses me off to no end. I do, while others watch. Two guys there didn't know how to make purchases online.
So, you mastered driving did you?
It's like; "Is your wife a goer? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. ... Have you ever had sex? Yes. What's is like?"+
+ skit from Monty Python where rude and course guy is pestering another man about his wife, in the end forthcoming with his insecurities, naivety and inexperience.

I'll find a new topic ... soon
Well, this blog, as of late, is:
want for a woman, unnamed,
dislike and loathing of work
How about, the grass is greener after a few hours of rain? There, God's mercy on us for the rain, His mercy on me for no tickets and a functioning car.
"Always look on the bright side of life"+
+ Monty Python, Life of Brian
