oh, oh, oh ... I'm so misinformed

Here, I got rumors that Larry Wachowski is a transexual. That's all wrong, maybe. Apparently he's a cross-dresser. That's all right then?

Gross.

BTW: I hated the movies.

Dear Indy,

If you give the ultimatum of: "If you won't build us a new stadium, we're going to leave", then don't let the door hit you on the ____ on the way out!

Again ... high hopes -- _____ing rubber tree plant or something like that!

This is my message to the Colts!

Grandpas

a teacher was giggling to herself that students were not talking about each other's mothers, nor about each other, but rather trying to get a rise from one another by critiquing or insulting each other's grandfathers. New generation, same story -- level of attack the same, target slightly varied.

Bite me!

statement given to a teacher when directing a third grader to put on her coat.

smoker

a guy with big, bushy hair was sitting, idly watching another person bowl, when he instinctively put his had to his head. The hand held a cigarette which was, of course, hot enough to heat the bountiful hair. TS noticed this and shouted to him, "Larry, your hair's on fire!" He got only a grumble, mumble. "Larry, your hair's on fire!" Grumble, mumble ... huh? He wildly beats at the site of fire in a panic jumping up and down.
Tip: don't have bushy hair or don't smoke.

Ninja bowler

I bowled on a high school league, later at "midnight bowling" with friends. I was never as interested nor intrigued about it as were they. Still, I did bowl and enjoy it when I was in my 20s. I had, to say the least, a poor and quirky style of bowler that caught many people as a guy with the weird stance and throw. Ninja? Why ninja?

On the net today you will see many people who are great fans of Chuck Norris. I too, WAS a Chuck Norris film fan, never having an opinion on the man himself. Granted he's in better shape than I have ever been and will ever be, but I don't watch his work any more.
Anyway ... never having had any training didn't stop me from kicking and punching in a really random manner, hoping that somehow by freakishly doing so, I too would become martial arts master. Many object died due to my perspective. Glasses were smashed onto the ground with my childish thought that with enough speed, a cup would be gravitationally attached to my hand as I rotated it at great speeds. Nope. I spun my hand and it dropped ... shattered, having served its matyr purpose.

One, funnier epside, sad for the slain objects, was when we were playing pool at MR's house, ISJ decided to pitch a bottle cap unto my head. Although it wasn't my shot, I held onto the cue stick, my mighty weapon -- as it turned it was my mighty weapon. It was told to me that much like the slow-motion in many action movies, they watched the cap flip end-over-end til it reached me. It was luck that it hit me, much less my head.
Now. How would a normal person react to be hit lightly by something? They might look around in wonder. I am not the typical person. Armed with the staff of doom, I swung around slashing and smashing anything within a 2' radius. After the 7 second attack, the pool table had a board off and on the floor; at least one picture from the wall was down and the glass broken; the cue stick shaken, but not broken; the walled were scarred a bit; a can lay dead, gushing its contents onto the carpet.

Uh, why? No one knows. I don't know why either. Quick, impulsive responses ... not ninja like -- just wild, uncontrolled recklessness. I was never a good bowler, never a martial artist, but it made a good title for some one who could destroy a room, without a reason that even he could explain.

ebb and flow of chronic madness

allergies: reactions to environmental factors, either developmental or congenital. Through habituation, toxins can either build up or be more easily blocked by genetic factors, metabolic adaptations or time-specific changes. Alcohol, for well-seasoned drinkers has a smaller symptomatic affect, whereas intermittant or non-drinkers react, in accordance to their specific absortions and metabolism, more dramatically and generally faster. Moreover, environmental factors, unrelated to voluntary consumption, is more critical to address.

In my experience I have a few notable strong allergies. Fully recognizing them and identifying symptomology and characteristic changes took many years better understand. First: smoke, addressing first smoke from cigarettes. I would surmise that tobacco itself is a key allergy for me, but more over, the many, many chemicals consistant with cigarettes (I presume American -- as I don't think I've had much experience otherwise) either sigularly or in combinations with themselves or environmentally -- higher oxygen or nitrogen levels, etc.

My primary reactions and sympotomology to exposure are: sinus pressure (I believe habituation has prompted my body to predictable responses such as accelerated mucus production), over-stimulation of salavary glands, tear ducts, and generalized shortness of breath. Certainly not to test this hypothosis, but rather out of sheer stupidity, I tried smoking a cigarette several times. I was told I was not doing it right, for I was not breathing in the smoke, but rather leaving it puffed out like oral-borne halitosis. I took a, and only one, puff inhalation. I found out then what nastiness was. I thought eating bugs would be finer. I turned green, spit gray into the sink for 3 solid minutes. I had an instant headache and was thereafter nausiated. Wow! I could could have tried that until I got over that period of habituation ... no thanks.
I also tried smoking a pipe, which I did choose for the reasons of stupidity, fond memories of my uncle's pipe smoking (it had a nice aroma) and because it was less foul smelling than cigarettes. I also was not inclined to inhale the smoke. This produced some interesting, but longer lasting effects. I had an impaired voice for 8-18 hours after exposure. I had mildly-blurred vision for 4-6 hours. My sense of taste was negliable. Despite drinking gallons of water (yes gallson, for through habitiuation I am able to drink 1.5 liters in one long drink), my thirst was never quenched. Because my vision was faulty, my coordination was at fault as well. My smoking days were thankfully short-lived, being around 9-14 months.

Alcohol, another common toxin, with which I have had much experience I can list any number of reactions that are (apart from over-indulgence yielding vomitting and dehydration):
two beers (24 oz total) -- general sleepiness
tequilla straight -- aggression (free-floating anger)
wine -- giddiness, hyperactivity (geometic escalation)
rum -- like wine, but expotential ascalation
schnapps -- restlessness, dehydration, non-cognitive responses
kaluha -- hyperactivity, aggression, non-cognitive responses
sherry -- non-cognitive responses, sleepiness, unemotive rude responses
mead -- like wine, but to a lesser degree, mixed with sinus pressure and capillary spams

Many peopel over the globe love chocolate. I'm sure, at some point I loved it too. Perhaps more importantly, I recognized my allergy to this. It affects me much like some people react to cocaine -- mild euphoria mixed with hyperactivity, impulsivity, at times -- rudeness and aggression with little/no provocation. For this reason, I do not partake in chocolate, as it doesn't mix with company. Secondary reactions to this are cranio-facial muscular "tics", regional capillary spams, adrenaline overexpression, tunnel-vision diminshment of olfaction and delay of auditory simuli.

As for my general madness, I account for it by adatption to environmental, both voluntary and involuntary consumption / exposure and asocial psyche, denying rationale behind avoidance. Moreover, acceptence of general delusional feelings, auto-developed and chemical specific. Simply stated: I learned to cope with reality and fiction (reality with toxins) in a self-preserving way, so that self-preservation was foremost above conscious of others.

Now, reflecting, I can see (20/20) the many asocial responses that have developed me into what I was and am. I, hopefuly am developing new responses and reactions to reality more consistent with social cognition, than that of perfunctory and impulsive ones. It's strange then, that I, an immoral and asocial person, should choose a profession that would require those traits that I have chosen -- so many years -- to deny and abolish within myself.

"Friction"

Lori's funny critique of my statement of always being hot when in bed -- to be sleeping.

"I can't sleep at night ... I'm always hot!"

"Friction will do that", said Lori. Her implication was that since I had no bedmate (girlfriend or wife) that the "heat" must be from some other under-the-covers action.

Very funny! Thanks!

scrubbing bubbles

Tonight I found myself at the scene of an unwritten play -- staring Rescue Rangers in a pedestal sink with bubbles. They pitched each other into the water, then "bad guys", then went searching for tutrles and fish. Sadly, Orange Guy always had the misfortune of the torrent of conical rain dashed upon him when he tried to resurface. A reounding laughter of the contoller shook the basin itself.

"No! Wait til he gets to his feet, then drop the rock on him!" -- Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Bubbles ... outside ... in 25 degree weather ... yes! Also, thankfully, the short term of this as the cold cement was nasty on the tookas.

This was followed by Stooges ... and attempted squashings.

If anyone has Mask Man aka Thank you Mask Man, please let me know. I have been looking for it for a while to put on DVD. I found no legitimate seller -- only those selling a dupicated (rough) copy thrown onto DVD for $15 not including shipping.

The parties responsible for using fewer quotations have been sacked. Those responsible for sacking those people, have also been sacked.

the term, "Fathering"

is usually wrongly used. Too often people view fathers as those that contribute genetic material.

In my previous entry I mentioned -- insulted, Lost, for it's shortcomings. I read a blurb on Naveen Andrews "
'Lost' star admits fathering child while separated from Barbara Hershey". That is more urban vernacular. Lions sire cubs, often killing other cubs either his own or others to get the lioness into estris. That guy doesn't smell like my spermazoa [mauling of cub]. This concept of siring as many his-scented youth as possible is urban fathering.

If only America could wake up a bit and turn on the "mental gears". I could throw money at a situation or I could involve myself in it and help it. Siring and then paying some money to the "mother" for the child (ren) is much like throwing money at a so-called problem. Invest yourself in it -- be the solution -- or the father, bringing to it your values, your input, your goals to make life what it should be.

Male lions in a pride generally don't hunt (not providers), take their share first, and (aforementioned) with cubs. They serve a protective role at times, but are generally not integral to the life of the pride. I was very fortunate in having a father who raised me. I am also from a family of non-divorced parents. This didn't prevent me from divorcing, but I "sired" no children and had I done so -- a difficult life they would have had no matter how much effort I put forth -- save being granted full and sole custody. Even that would have had its consequences.

Think, before you sire. A pack of your gene-filled people shouldn't fill you with pride if you have done nothing to bring them to be who they could be -- raising and fathering.

Lost in Complaining

I have a limited interest in the show, Lost. I asked a friend about it to find out that they don't have a new episode yet -- 4 weeks, no new show. Gosh! That's gotta be hard, working there in uncomfortable Hawaii with nothing to do. I can see why it would be difficult to get the cast back to Hawaii to do more shooting.
"Hey, no! I'm staying here in Flint, Michigan, pushing out snow, thanks. Later this week I'm going to ultra-rural Saskatewan* and start building a house."

"Get on with it!" -- M Python
"Of course, I could be wrong you know." -- Bugs, WB
"Wrong? Wrong?! You ain't never been right!" -- Platoon

Anyway. I got this idea for a show about a mysterious torpical island. On it there are polar bears, company controlled / made sharks, hidden research bunkers, supposedly-derranged inhabitants, grayish invisibeats. There are hints to other mysteries and the Pennsylvania-sized island can't be found by any known technological means.

Okay... sounds good. What do you have so far. I have two scenes with a bear, four scenes with the invisibeast, 4 seconds of the shark.

What else?

I have great stories about people on the island, before they were there, including stories about characters of the 40 some that I just kill off anyway.

ummm ... okay. Anything else?

They now play golf on the untamed and dangerous island and heroin is available.

Uh, okay. So, [a sourness in his face, he directs attention to another person at the table], you had a new version of Three's Company in mind?

Kari Byron -- again

What I could find was that she is a sculpter -- apparently a good (or renown) one from Frisco and a vegetarian. So far, that's not a lot of info.

comedy of vocation

Education is a great resource for humor. Yesterday I was asked if they could do, individual work together. My answer was no, but I was reminded of, "Let's be independant together". Thanks Herbie!

watching TV

I'm not known for my love of movies or TV. I haven't liked sit-coms in a llllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg time. That being the case, I sometimes find a show that I do like. I used to like Discovery Channel, until it and it's compadre's: History, TLC, Animal Planet, etc. decided that everyone would love to have a program they are watching blocked out -- sometimes up to 25% by USELESS animations of their other shows. I thought the corner label on the programs were bad -- thanks T Turner for starting that! Coupled with that are the commercial break so long that I often change the channel, forgetting that I was once watching Discovery or whatever. My criping aside.

I got to see Mythbusters, which can be entertaining. Sometimes it is more like idea ADHD -- are you planning on completing any ideas here? I like the ideas. I have become captivated by Kari Byron, about whom little information seems available.

She seems practical, comical and clever. When I saw her smile, that's what captured my attention. [drone on here concerning interest]

The same channel that does this includes a show with Jessie James something, who contributes to building various one-time things. I couldn't bear to watch the show anymore, as his personality is grating and his happy recalling of childhood violence towards others including a neighbor boy whom he claimed to have happily choked (implying to a painful degree). This guy has a son. I would hestitate to call him a father as that is a person who raises their child to be an adult capable of existing in the world -- hopefully, sans prison/jail.

What's another really bad idea from this group ... Growing Uo Gotti. Hey! Let's focus on a family whose criminal activity, either theirs or other family memebers who have a lot of money. Let's help those watching become complacent with the mafia and criminals. Yes! Let's copy HBO with their ideas of Sopranos and OZ with violence, evil, raping, killing, drugs, abuse (of many forms). Now that's entertainment. I guess if Eninem is still popular with songs of putting GHB into drinks to rape women and his lyrics stating his desire for a woman to do whatever, whenever, in perpetuity -- these will be the standard.

Not to me.

Returning to Mythbusters ... violence is either to Buster -- a disintigrating dummy with variable insturment chasis, Black Adder, or to the two would-be investigators who welcome their own doom on some occasions.

Fargen Bastages!

[please note that some of the bantering gets windy and verb tenses do not conform to standard English]

A couple of weeks ago I heard that phrase. It's from a movie either you saw or didn't see. I doubt that you would forget some of the memorable lines from Johnny Dangerously. That being the case, let me explain my mild dis-satisfaction.
Who are the fargen bastages? They are the winds that direct your kite to the ground, thirty people at the gas station who all enter the store buying cigarettes and chatting with people rather than move their cars, people calling not knowing who you are, people who drive SUVs who couldn't park a paper airplane in a parking spot much less their wide vehicle like their wide butts. Also, I dispise notices that you'll get more notices (much like someone calling to let you know that they are going to call).

Are these people antagonists or speed bumps? Perhaps they are neither, but actors who are unaware that their are others in the play. They are so focussed on completing their goals that all others be damned! I see this at all ages and in most places. How many times have you appraoched a door, following someone within 8 feet and yet they close the door behind them. Are they truly that unaware that there is some one behind them?

Emoticons: when you really, really, really can't just type a nice word or phrase. Is that wasteful or laziness? I think both. It is one thing to use it in messaging when you are typing slower to several people than you could possibly talk to them, but in letters that you are already typing? What's the point?

I find anger venting is helpful. I like to play games where I can perpetrate fictional violence, especially with guns. I don't and won't own a gun, but it's great relief to exterminate a bad egg on a game. There are a few games that are designed for track motion and you hit "evil men". Concluding one game, I gave stats on targets hit and shots fired. The disperarity prompted, "Are you angry?" I wasn't a poor shot, but rather emptied at least one clip or series of six shots into each target when possible. 80%+ were face / head shots. Giving six shots in the head before the target falls is impossible, so the fictional part is great.

What the day held

promise of a new day! It kept dreaming of waking, doing something, realizing it was 10 minutes early then resting again. I was never right on the time. My teaching went fairly well and there were no real problems.

A growing concern I have is for the random "unavailable number" calls I'm getting. As I put my cell phone number on the no-call list, I should think that I would not get pestered. I didn't donate to anyone last year -- no money to do so, so I hope to get fewer calls this year.

A charity, Paralyzed Hoosier Veterans Association is a nice cause, but they are misinforming those whom they solicit, in that their chapter hasn't donated to Spinal Cord Research for 20 some years -- their claim to fame. I got some interesting runaround from the man who called me this year. He called me days after the local paper reported their misinforming.

"We don't control everything that every chapter says."

Really? Don't they read a prompt? I hardly believe that they have all the figures, dates, times in their heads -- highly unlikely. I also thought that they ought to at least make a sound retraction about how much and when they donated to the spinal cord research center. This center tried an experimental procedure for connecting nerve tissue, and pocesses for neural growth. Christopher Reeve was the first volunteer. The surgery showed some success. It's original idea was for use within 24 hours of injury. To this date, I don't know of any other successful attempts.

That being said, there is a local group -- not a charity, that does work for the community -- Citizens' Action Coalition. They spend much of their money under-paying people to gather money for the cause. Some -- doubtful much, gets to lawyers to lobby for improvements and protections for citizens from energy industries and the like from unreasonable price hikes and gouging.

Too bad we don't have a federal one to punish the gas companies -- not just oil, but natural gas. If they keep it up, I think the way to go would be Nuclear Power Plants and electric heat. I think Hammond and Gary, IN could be flattened and the Power Plants go there. If you've seen --hopefully at a distance, either city. I think you'll agree.
