One page isn't a life just a moment in time

I spent some time the last few days reading, some of my old journals. I came across one of the entries which I had forgotten about. Well I don’t really remember everything I write. This one was about an apartment I had in college. We had gone up into the attic and found a book of old magazines which were largely in very poor condition but were from 1910 to 1919. There was nothing really terribly interesting in the magazines or at least I didn’t think there was I gave them away. However the was part of a journal in there. The journal was written by a young, women, and was from the same period as the magazines. The woman writing was worried about her brother who was over seas fighting in the War. She just referred to this as the war, which would have been World War I. Sitting there in an apartment which was probably this woman’s home where did she sit when she wrote these words, which window did she look out toward her brother and the European war. I wrote my thoughts about this person’s thoughts. I wondered then as I do now how many other journals, have similar expressions of worry and fear written on pages and never uttered aloud , always wearing the brave face for the crowds never showing fret or weakness or worry. Even today how many sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers write about family far from them in possible harms way. Words on a page the only anchor to keep them on course, keeping them from falling to their knees, or to just be the one place that fear can live and not consume you.

Many of the entries I have written and do write there were or are my thoughts in the moment and the processing of problems. Any single page out of context has a completely different meaning then the whole of several pages or even the reality of the life that is undocumented going on out side the confine of the pages of a journal. Mainly its’ not profound, nor awe inspiring or even very deep, it is just my little every day worries, celebrations, hopes, fear, success and missteps on a path to happiness and contentment.

That’s the rub though isn’t it, is the getting to that place and the bigger magic I suppose is knowing that when you are on your way is to smile because you are already there. Even if you fall, miss or even fail, there may be something gained that has made it all worth it.

WTF Wednesday # 11

WTF Wednesday number 11

I usually don’t talk about politics because it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to talk about politics. Why?

Because people don’t listen when you talk about politics they really just wait to talk and don’t care what you have to say especially if you think something different than they do.
True story.

My WTF today is Donald Trump running for President? Seriously, WTF people come on. I really hope that this is just a thing to keep ratings for his dying TV show making money and not a real thing that you think you should do. I don’t watch the show but I do see the ads for it.

However, If you haven’t noticed this Trump is not saying he is or isn’t or is running for president so much as he has been running his mouth and has been flying the flag that President Obama isn’t a US born person.

My first thoughts are, Ok, whatever Trump, go back into Busey’s dressing room and drink some more turpentine with him. Because you seriously sound like an imbecile when you say stuff like that.

However the tea party is full of people who like to run on the politic of the sound bite and fear. Lets run with this and the Trump has a shit ton of money and can make us relevant or at least make us more heard and being heard by more people makes what we have to say more important. Yah, doesn’t matter that it’s stupid and inane.

So largely I’m ignoring the whole Trump run for president thing and the whole I’m interested in running for president and I’m going to talk shit about running for president but I can’t really say I’m gonna run for president because I have this TV show thing on right now that is watched by six or seven people and it would be wrong to say I’m running for president until that his over so I’m not sure if I’m running for president or not but I will get back to you in June and let you know if I’m running for president.

OMG WTF FML just shut the hell up until June then please.

No can’t do that I’m going to say that the current president shouldn’t be president because he isn’t a real US citizen and I’m going to say it often and raise a big stink about it and I’m going to get Sarah Palin on board with too and the rest of the Tea Party.

So this morning Obama interrupts the last bit of the fluff the Today show was doing to say

We interrupt the thing you are doing now to tell you this.

ATTENTION UNITED STATES

I AM A NATIVE BORN CITIZEN, BORN IN HAWAII AND HERE IS THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE. WE HAVE REAL PROBLEMS TO SOLVE LET’S FOCUS ON THAT.

YOU MAY NOW RETURN TO YOUR NORMAL LIVES.

Play out special report thing

So basically Obama said STFU Trump.

The thing is, Trump is still going to make an issue of this and the media is going to cover it and make this non issue an issue that takes the focus away from the real problem.

WTF people we need to treat Trump like Charlie Sheen and tell him to STFU when he starts talking. Yes its’ rude but his wasting our time is equally disrespectful

I was looking forward to something happening today but now I’m looking forward to the same thing happing in a week.

I have no idea what to call this one...

I have found out a few things recently that I didn’t know and a few that I did know.

Well there really are a lot of things that I do not know but these were wow really things.

One – I didn’t know I sort of had a person watching my back. I can’t say who or why but I was surprised

Two – some of the minions get withdrawal symptoms when I don’t write. Sorry didn’t mean to cause the shakes for you all I’ll try to do better about posting again

Three – there was this other thing that I didn’t know today and it was really pretty cool but I’ve already forgotten it, I know it’s that bad.

There are an infinite number of things that I do not know but we all have other things to do rather than read an on going list of things I do not know.

In other news

The hippy mower is too much fun and by fun I mean really fun, I like it, My yard isn’t really level though and I want more clover. But clover brings bees and I’m sort of a feared of the bees because they bite and by bite I mean sting. The stinging hurts like a lot but the clover is fun to mow because it’s like green confetti and that makes me smile and I like to smile so I mow the clover and I want to mow more clover. I need to buy some clover seed. Yup yup.

There is this other grass in my yard too in one spot that is really cool too but I have no idea what it is but it’s like standing on Astroturf it’s so densely packed. So if you know what kind of grass that would be let me know and I’ll buy more of that too. But that doesn’t really solve the level problem. I’m working on that too by making dirt.

Yeah I’m one of those. I’m still on the fence about the goat but I’m thinking the goat would hurt the fence.

In still other news

I have a friend who likes to poke bears with a stick it’s more detailed than that but for now it will do… I may make it a WTF entry

Litter box thought of the day.

I really need a note for this chore. You would think every day scoop the poop, scoop the poop, I just don’t look forward too it.

Good thought of the day… I made fresh guacamole today …yum

What's taters precious?

So recently someone was asking me if I had a grill. I said I used to have one but it belongs to someone else now. They looked at me for a minute and the puzzled look on their face said, how does your grill belong to someone else now? Then the elevator got to the top floor oh yeah you have one of those exes. Their next question was a bit strange only because they know I’m a vegetarian, how do you grill?

I don’t really have a need to grill anything.

The second elevator got to the top floor, Oh yeah I guess you wouldn’t

I have thought about getting one because Stunt boy eats the meats and he likes the grilled meats as well. Doodle likes that stuff too but she only comes over a few times a month to eat and I liked the grilled veggies like grilled corn, veggies kabobs and I want to grill some bananas but I haven’t yet.

Seems like an awfully be price tag to grill up bananas though, but maybe some day. You never know

There are some pros and cons of hanging out with a vegetarian. Now these are generalizations and do not apply to all vegetarians. And on a scale of good to bad I’m more toward the bad side of the vegetarian world or as like to call it the normal side of the vegetarian world. To put it perspective my normal is what Vegans would call bad and would probably call me a lot of bad names too.

So starting off with the cons you know so we can end on a good note.

Cons

Vegetarians as a whole do tend to be to a bit judgey about the whole eating meat thing you’ve probably heard the chants and drums, Meat is murder and smelled the patchouli too. Eat what makes you happy is what I say and that’s why vegans call me bad names.

Some of us can be a little picky about ordering in restaurants. Many of us will drive a waiter to spiting in your food. Question after questions, Is that flavored with suet, Was that made with vegetable stock or chicken stock or were those fries done in the same oil as the chicken nuggets.

If you work in a restaurant if someone is asking this ask one question do you have allergies? If they say yes tell them the truth, if they say no, tell them what will get them to place an order. My advice is this, if you are that picky about what you eat you need to eat at home and leave the carnivores and normal people alone.

Some of us will make retching noises when we smell cooking meat, but really it doesn’t make us sick, well most of us. Hamburger does smell bad sometimes but mainly if you are doing ribs or a nice prime rib I’ll stand in the wind to smell it cooking I’m going to eat it.

Vegetarians know things you don’t want to know about your food. It’s very hard to find stuff talking about vegetarian diets and recipes without facts about why this is better for you than the omnivore diet or how replacing some animal product with this vegetable one is better. The biggest example is gelatin and pectin they do the same thing solidify foods one is an animal product and one isn’t. Most of the world knows where gelatin comes from but if you don’t ask a vegetarian and they will tell you and then you’ll be sick but you’ll go ahead and eat that jell-o or marshmallow then next time because it tastes good. If you don’t know I won’t tell you and the stuff that makes candy sour… well no one likes that answer so I’ll keep it to myself.

That’s about it on the bad side.

Pros

Cooking doesn’t take all that long for us unless it’s rice and that takes us just as long as it takes you.

If you order a pizza will all meat toppings and you live with a vegetarian that left over pizza will still be there when you get back from work, the gym or where ever it is you went. The same goes for the last what ever meat thing in the fridge you don’t have to hide it down in the veggie draw to keep your vegetarian friend away from it. It will be there later

You can generally get enough to eat for two people ordering one entrée and a few sides if you surrender the salad or at least part of it to the vegetarian.

Usually we like to cook so you can get out of that chore if you hate it.

We will usually have a compost pile or bin so if you need dirt for your flower garden find your friendly neighborhood dirty ol’ hippy freak and we will most likely give it to you for free because, we’re friendly and stuff like that. And we’ll have more in a few weeks.

If you are ever stranded out in the middle of nowhere there are to possibilities. One the vegetarians will be able to find food that will keep everyone alive or two they will die first because they aren’t eating what ever food you’ve found then if you have to cannibalize, there is no easy way to say this we just taste better. Think about it, mainly and the animals that you eat are vegetarians and they are yummy. Why wouldn’t a people vegetarian be yummy too? Just saying, but we do taste better.

Hitting the snooze button this morning wasn’t even any fun at all.

WTF Wednesday #10

WTF Wednesday number 10

How on earth did Russell Brand become famous? One day no one on earth other than his drug dealer and his parents know who the hell he is then the next day he’s famous. Granted it had been growing slowly but seriously why? WTF people are we getting that hard up for comedy that this guy is it?

I know I’m not the only one fed up with him. Hell, Mother Nature has been trying to kill the bloke since he married Cat E.

They, he and Cat E, go to India to marry... earthquakes floods and disasters like the day after.

Everywhere this guy goes there Mother Nature starts pooling her resources to try to kill this guy. I know I don’t want him coming to my house and spending any time. Seriously do the google searches Russell’s location and natural disasters. I think he was in Japan too. Just saying.

But the tabloids are saying the Cat E is nearly done with him. So we know that it is the whole truth if the Star, The Examiner and the Enquirer say it is true. They would never make up a story just to sell papers.

I wonder if Russell is the creation of these rags in an attempt to see if they can make a horribly not funny person famous.

Also on the Russell front and if you are as sickened by this guy as I am you may have missed this bit of news but the daft bastard has a plan to try to crash Will and Kate’s wedding next week dressed at the Queen.

Brilliant

I wonder if the SAS might accidentally snap his neck like a twig. Then what can you do really at that point. Scold ruthless trained killers for killing some twit for being a security risk.

Now boys you aren’t supposed to snap the necks of every person who tries to crash the party, but in this case we’ll let it slide. I wonder if that would make the news or not? Would they replay it with that warning, some viewers may find the following story upsetting so you should leave the room for the next few minutes while we show you in graphic detail the twist and snap and then an idiot slump to the ground dead.

Now he is trying to infect children with his nonsense dressing up as the Easter Bunny for a movie, well speaking for the EB. Look buddy I had that gig long before you so back off.

But if anyone can explain his fame please but I think you’ll be just as puzzled by it as me. WTF?

In other news

Yeah I can’t get into it work certainly sucks at the moment and if I could talk about it you would ask me to stop talking about it. And that’s why I haven’t been writing the last few days.

Sunday Morning Press Conference

Those of you who are long time readers may remember these, those of you who are new to the readership every so often there is a press conference of sorts. As it would appear that there are quiet possibly tens of readers out there who don’t comment on things that are said in the regular issues. The interwebs refers to these people as Lurkers but we here at inviso-corp simply refer too all as the minions.

As always there are cigarettes and coffee in the back and we’ll use the standard protocol for questions and answers. Any questions on standards and practices… No … then without further ado... Invisible don King of the Bastards, all around good guy, newly ordained baby whisperer and all those other nicknames and monikers. Well begin with the reporter from the Herald

Herald Reporter: So you’ve been brushing up on your Boston accent. Reasons and is it good.

Invisible Don: I like to play around with the idea that I’m actually funnier in accent than I am in regular voice so I try things on. The accent isn’t bad but I don’t curse enough really to a be a good southie and if you can’t pepper the accent with a lot of the f bombs well you’re just going to get called out and possibly beat up. Yes the reporter from the Times.

Times Reporter: You started that WTF series about two months ago. How is that going?

Invisible Don: I think well, there are always things that make you think WTF. I’m trying to branch out a bit and not gripe bitch and moan about myself too much there and have for the most part stayed away from myself as the primary subject. Maybe there will be some money in it some day. Yes you from the London Times.


London Times Reporter: The Royal Wedding is coming up as a monarch have you been invited and what are your thoughts

Invisible Don: Well I’m no monarch the title king was given more as an insult and I’ve just adopted it as a gift rather than despise it. I am not on Will and Kate’s guest list but do wish them the best. I have some thoughts on this regarding Harry but really those things are best kept to oneself if you know what I mean.

London Times Reporter: Harry?

Invisible Don: Really I can’t it’s just a personal feeling and I have no basis for it. Yes you from Ohio, where

Cleveland Reporter: The Nine are off to a good start this season any thoughts?

Invisible Don: Not really April isn’t a time to start tossing out who will be playing in October. Yes you in the green dress, I don’t see your pass.

Reader: No pass just wandered in the coffee smelled so good. Is that pie?

Invisible Don: Oh please stay have some coffee and yes it is pie, apple pie.

Reader: Did you make it yourself?

Invisible Don: I did

New York Times Reporter: Cleveland stands no chance of making it to October and really you made pie?

Invisible Don: Well given statistics you are correct but your follow up question is more important so I won’t have you killed. I kid but seriously don’t talk out of turn. I really made pie all on my own too. Crust and all peeled the apples and baked it right in the invisible fortress.

NY Times Reporter: Why?

Invisible Don: Well stunt boy and I were talking while doing stuff around the house (watching Icarly) Sam says to Carly, you want me to be happy make me a pie. Stunt boy says, Pie is pretty good. So I thought I have apples and I have all the other stuff I need to make the crust. So I peeled the apples while we were watching the next show popped in and made the crust and presto (more like 2 hours later) there was pie. It isn’t really that hard. Yes you from the Examiner.

Examiner Reporter: Is it a good pie?

Invisible Don: I don’t know I didn’t have a piece yet. Stunt boy has and he says it’s wonderful.

Examiner Reporter: Why haven’t you had a slice?

Invisible Don: It was late when the pie came out of the oven and I didn’t want to have nightmares… I guess. Yes you from the Waverly Democrat.

Waverly Reporter: You have been uncharacteristically up beat lately the readers are more than a bit curious as to the cause and what or more precisely who is at the center of all of this mirth.

Invisible Don: You know for a small town Iowa rag you ask a pretty fancy question, I like that, good things can come in small packages. I’m usually up beat I just don’t say it, (gasp from the crowd) well I’m not morose for certain but I will give you melancholy at times. Recently things have occurred that have me hopeful not that I was hopeless before just reserved.

Waverly Reporter: And as to the second part of my question, the what, or who is behind this new found hope?

Invisible Don: Ah, you caught that, I knew you would but was hoping you would leave it be. I’m not a liberty to disclose that information and you have been here a while and know that I don’t talk about such things here. We’ll just say that I’m happy and there is a reason for it. Wow a local paper you from the Roanoke Times.

Roanoke Times Reporter: Oh I’m just here for the free cigarettes and coffee. But as you caught me here, why are you waking up so early?

Invisible Don: I should have expected that much, clean living I suppose, who knew it had such awful repercussions. Ok well that’s all I think for this morning I have other things that need to be done in other places, hopefully you are sufficiently entertained and if not confused

In other news

March Mission was a bust and the Press conferences aren’t me thinking I’m really all that just doing a bit of creative writing which may or may not be all that creative but I’m trying to be more creative and I like doing it.

Be like the squirrel ... or not it doesn't really mean anything it's just a title

So I was busy being healthy this morning. I know ugh… but before all of that I did wake up before my alarm again and I ignored it when it finally did go off and listened to the rain hitting the roof of the house. Part of my roof is metal so it’s a very different sound than other types of roofs. I find it to be rather soothing just hearing the rain falling.

Lots of thoughts swimming around in the brain in the rain and remembering something a friend told me about thinking and mornings. Trying to figure out things and stay within the confines of today and letting Aldo do his bit too. Some days it is really easy to just follow Aldo along the path and paired with where I’ve been sights, sounds and feels are all there and it is very easy to want to stay there but it’s one sided. So I come back.

The rain very nearly lulled me back to slumber but I want to get things done so I got up and got into the healthy mode. And then one of the lyrics from Jack wails out something about a cigarette and there I am thinking mmm … a cigarette would be really good.

What the hell, it never goes away and that thought will just randomly pop up in my head, you know what would be good right now a cigarette. Usually there is a trigger that is pretty identifiable now and it’s not a craving. This time it was the mention of them in a lyric but in a way that connected to my experience with smoking. In case you were worried I did not smoke anything.

Oddly I still have the pack of smokes in the freezer from when I quit. I’m sure they simply awful and possibly even unhealthier than they were two and half years ago when they were put into the freezer.

In other news

There is so much spinning around in the back of my mind and at the front part of the time. I know what I want I’m not exactly sure how to get there.

Wanna buy a goat?

So the last few weeks and months I’ve noticed the join us for don’t buy gasoline day on what ever day it is of the week month. Today was one of those days.

I didn’t buy gas but not because I was in support of the whole don’t buy gas day thing but I did notice a bunch of people who were so I’m going to call it a fail.

I also noticed that I wasn’t alone on the roads today either so people were using fuel too.


The thing is the hippy part of me really supports this sort of thing, you know damn the man, damn the man and hell no we won’t go. However a one day don’t buy gas thing isn’t going to make a bit of difference and the only way that a one day don’t buy will make a difference is if every car in the US was parked and didn’t buy a drop of fuel.

The likelihood of that is slim to none and slim is out of town.

The industry probably needs an overhaul and we need to stop being stupid as consumers. Really does your car really run all that much better on higher grade fuel? Not that you think it does, really test the miles per gallon driven. I’m going to say it isn’t a difference that is significant enough to warrant the expense it costs to make 3 or 4 different grades of fuel.

Stop buying all but one grade of fuel forever, not just for a day, for always. They will stop making it at some point if the stations don’t need it because their tanks are full of it and can’t buy any more from the makers. Big oil still isn’t hurt yet because consumption is still the same but you may cause a little change in the price… some. Maybe.

The only way big oil gets hurt is if consumption really goes down.

Carpool not just to work but to the store, movies etc. few vehicles moving equal fewer gallons burned.

Ride a bike, walk, use public transportation if it available.

Get a community goat. I was out in the yard the other day thinking about an article I had read that there are some goat farmers who rent out their herd for the up keep of lands. The goats go out there eat the fields down and the farmer makes money and doesn’t have as much of a feed cost for the goats.

But that doesn’t really work for everyone. Mainly because their just isn’t enough yard to feed a bunch of goats and really not enough to feed a goat for very long. But if a block had a goat or two, then there would be enough grass and more people would be happy. Hell you might even be able to make a little feta cheese too or some yogurt.

So if the twenty houses or so on my block all stopped buying fuel for lawn mowers that would not be noticed but if twenty thousand homes all stopped buying fuel for lawn mowers that would be noticed and the flowers that weren’t eaten by the goats might even be prettier because they would have some free fertilizer

I don’t use power tools for my yard work. Every year a few more people ask me how I like using it and if it is all that hard to use. My answer is as long as you keep up with the mowing it’s pretty easy if you let it go too long then it’s harder.

I still hear a lot of people mowing when I’m mowing but maybe one day all I’ll hear is the baabahahah of all the neighborhood goats.

Ugh today was a long and complicated day hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I don’t talk about work here because I can’t and besides they aren’t really fun stories.

In other news

Watched the Social Network recently… Wow I’m not sure who the screenplay and book writers are connected to in the story but they are connected to someone who is not Mark Zuckerberg. So until I find that out and who they are connected to in the story then I’m not sure exactly what to think about it all.

My thought is if someone can’t develop an idea to its fullest potential but can think them really is the genesis of the idea. However, if you can’t do anything with it and someone else can and they make the other persons idea work. Who really owns the idea then? I’m not sure and I think that’s the point.

Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake are absolutely brilliant in this movie. Both are becoming favorite actors. I’ve yet to see either in a role that wasn’t well preformed.

WTF Wednesday #9

WTF Wednesday number 9

I don’t really think I’m ever going to get to that one thing I been trying to put in here for the WTF issue. Next time I promise… most likely.

It’s bag on invisible don day again, but in a much nicer way than I normally bag on myself.

Somehow I’m turning into a morning person…WTF… seriously I’m waking up before my alarm every freaking day now and it’s getting a bit crazy. At least I’m not a chipper and up beat morning person or else I would just have to kill myself.

You know the type, the ones who say, OMG it’s such a wonderful day, I’m happy to be awake… and blah happiness blah…you just want to choke the life out of people like that… am I right?

So the one good thing in all of it is that I’m not happy about being a morning person but boom …awake… look at the clock / phone … ugh … seriously?... WTF

I really like sleep… as in a lot.

Now granted I don’t really try to do a lot of sleeping in the first place but I try to a lot a certain amount 5 to 6 hours is good right? So waking up before the alarm is messing with the system in a major way.

I’m not exactly sure what has brought all of this on but I recently made some changes based on the fact that I didn’t die when I thought I would. Yeah, I wasn’t certain I would make it this far along the game board. Rather than get into a lot of detail, we’ll just say that I made some questionable choices a few times and harm has had a way of finding me. There are things which I can’t write about too because, well they are classified and what not. But even when I’m just minding my own business, Karma chose me as a whipping boy for some reason. I’m not all that clear what that reason is but who am I to question it I just roll with the punches, car crashes, and other random stuff.

So as the clock went pasted the time that I figured would be the end of invisible don and it doesn’t look like the end is all that nearish unless you believe the Mayans I should probably develop a couple of …ugh… healthier habits. I know I’m nearly ashamed too.

I have developed unmentioned healthy habits and a side effect of that choice appears to be that I get to be a morning person … Yea!…


Not Yea… because I still like being a night person. Better stuff happens at night. Vampires, werewolves ok maybe not werewolves, other spooky stuff and better TV. Seriously if you’ve even been stuck at home during the day, TV in the day time sucks in a big big way. Thank god for the internet and netflix

The other day I just rejected being a morning person. I held my own one man protest and told morning person me, No. No, I’m not getting up and I laid there awake, eyes closed in defiance and justified to myself saying in bed, laying there awake for the entire fourteen minutes or so that I was awake before the alarm. And then some more just to thumb my nose at the morning person I’m becoming. Didn’t matter because what did I do today

I got out of bed before the alarm.

I know I’m sorry, I’m a goner I have cheated on the alarm clock, I’ve been untrue to my night owl ways and not hit the snooze button in over a week, I even thought about…I’m not even sure I can say this next part it is awful …you may want to sit down if you aren’t already sitting… it is horrific …I thought … I though about… I can’t believe it actually crossed my mind… I though about drinking less coffee.

I am sorry I don’t know what has come over me. I should just tie on a massive drunk sleep until noon just to see how morning person me likes night person me.

I won’t do it though …WTF is happening to me?

The last two weekends in one issue

The last two weekends have been interesting. One I can talk about and the other I’m not sure I’m at liberty to speak about in depth so I won’t

Starting with the weekend which is the furthest from today. A friend got married more specifically a former significant other got married.

Now, before you go all shouldn’t this be in the WTF Wednesday file. I stop you and say, No it shouldn’t. I’m not sure if this is an odd thing or not but most of the women with whom I’ve been in relationships still talk to me and at least on some level consider me a friend.

Sometimes it is just hard to maintain those friendships because of distance and other reasons why friend don’t always remain close. I don’t really ask about it so I don’t know if this is odd or not but people seem to think it is a little strange when I mention it.

Anyway this friend AKA Texas asks, hey if I invited you to my wedding would you come. I said yes immediately. Then asked if there was a section for exes that I would have to sit in, she said no, that I was allowed to sit with everyone else like a regular person. See I am a regular person.

The way I see it is everyone has a past, no matter who you are and everyone will have a future. Now you may or may not be a part of that future just depends on how you deal with things. We never got that far in our relationship and this relationship seems to make her happy. So who am I really to say one way or the other if it’s a good one or not. It’s her life to live how she wants not how I or anyone else thinks she should.

When ever I mentioned I was going to Texas’s wedding, people would say, “Really, why the hell would you do that?”

I thought why wouldn’t I go? We were friends while we dated, and remained friends afterwards. Friends celebrate things in each other’s lives.

There were several people at the wedding who knew us as a couple and I got some pretty strange looks from a few people as well as some hey good to see you here. Then as the grape vine twists it was cycled back to me that some people thought I should not have gone and others who thought you know it was nice to see someone so evolved and able to be there. There were more of the latter than the former.

I’m not sure how evolved I am but I still don’t see why people can’t accept that people can remain friends even after they have been in relationships. Now I won’t say there weren’t some raw moments and hurt feelings at first. But in all honesty I owe this friend a lot because she was a key person in helping me to quit smoking something I had tried and failed to do many times before.

Her wedding by the way was very interesting and it was the first time I had ever seen both people cry their way through their vows usually it’s only one or the other. Mainly I’ve seen more men cry than the women Now many of you guys you may think you’re not in tune to your tears but you just might be standing there exchanging vows and looking across at the person whom you love. Just saying you may want to have that tissue handy.

This past weekend is the one which is respectfully classified. Classified not because it is OMG stuff but because I don’t always talk about everything in my life in here, there are a lot of things which are private and are not for general knowledge. I keep a secret well and don’t talk about things which should be private.

I will say that I had a very good time at one particular point and while I was nervous mainly because I was happy and looking forward to things. I don’t know where things go from here but isn’t that part of the enjoyment of life the not knowing, the anticipation and the looking forward to things and living in the moment. I’m still smiling a lot today because of that one point.

Sunday was Brand A’s birthday and I was able to meet her and Head Nod’s son for the first time. He is a very cute baby and seems to like me for what ever reason.

I got there a bit after several people, like maybe five minutes or so. But this worked out because my order was in later and when Brand A and everyone else go their food mine order was just going in so I was able to hold the baby and in a few moments of me holding him and doing the RLS leg bouncing things he was knocked out sleeping which he wasn’t doing for some reason. He didn’t seem fussy at all but now I guess I can add baby whisper to my list of nick names. Doodle came down at one point and hung out for a few minutes, was good to see her. I asked how she had gotten so tan this early in the year and she said, I was born this way. To which I said I was there No, and then someone else pointed out that it might have been believable if I didn’t have a very Irish complexion, i.e. very pale.

So it was a good weekend.

Tick Tock

Some how there used to be more time in the day.

I’m not sure exactly where it has all gone but I don’t seem to have it any more. I would normally blame the whole daylight savings time thing but this seems to be a lot more time than that hour.

However at other times there just seems to be too much time.

Why is it that when you are having the most amazing time, time seems to slip away all to quickly.

Then when we want time to move more quickly, it goes too slowly

There have been so many things lately that have made me see time go far too quickly

Then others when times seem to have stopped all together.

I am happy and that is all I can say about that

Pandora

While sleep holds me Mab comes on her chariot
Sowing the seeds of my thoughts in the fertile ground of my slumber

It is here in these dreams I see beyond the day
Free to run, to live beyond the hands of Cronos

Clutching slivers in my scarred hands gripping them tightly with my grasp
To run beyond the vigilant guard and far beyond the walls of Phobos

There deep within the my forest of thoughts I can see the world
Through the primrose but I see a possible future in those moments

Dreams and illusions are only reflections of how to shape the world
Were my hands the ever more nimble builder

I wake with only the fleeting memories and wishing I could return
My smile remains as the only evidence


That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow

Don't call me little b@$tard...

Don’t call me little b@$tard …

April 5th was barefoot day … I didn’t know but found out when there were a ton of bare foot pictures on the inter webs.

I asked around and a lot of people didn’t know too.

The thing is this guy Tom, makes shoes. Then he sells shoes. Then for every pair of shoes he sells, he gives a pair away. Which I did know prior to barefoot day, but I’ve never seen his shoes anywhere.

Now every girl I asked about said oh cool two pairs of shoes for the price of one or a BOGO

I had to burst a lot of bubbles by saying, No he gives them to poor people who don’t have shoes. So it is a BOGO but two people get the shoes for the price of one instead of one person getting two pairs of shoes.

The guys weren’t really interested.

I might have gone bare foot if I knew.

WTF Wednesday #8

WTF Wednesday Number 8

Once again I had something else planned for today but something else has come up that I feel really merits the WTF of the week.

That would be all of our elected officials. WTF boys and girls in your job description I think it says something about leaders

You know to do something

As in get shit done

We pay your *&^#*) @$$es pretty darn well too - bet you get your phucking checks even if the government isn’t working WTF?

Grow the hell up, be men and women and lead don’t be little boys and girls and bicker and fight.

Before start in on me with the hatin’ I agree there are two sides to an argument

If you really want to get to it there are countless, ifs and buts to any argument and as the saying goes, if, ifs and buts were candy and nuts oh what a Christmas it would be.

There are things that need to be done, regardless of your side of the fence

So get it done compromise and then fix what doesn’t work later. No government has ever built a perfect policy, piece of legislation or program … and my money is on that it never will happen.

So gather up your big boy and girl panties, put on your work clothes and get something done

In other news

I lost sight of that Aldo guy not sure where he has ended up but I’m sure he is fine.

Trying to keep it a little more Zen, better to keep it more Zen at least for now.

I’m sure Aldo is fine …right?

Hey what should I do with this book?

I started out writing about one of the things that I’ve been meditating on lately being the falling away from the daily use of weapons in our modern age. However a lot of other thoughts crept in regarding today’s world with the world when the Hagakure was written 300 years ago.

Our worlds are very different but still face many of the same issues.

Lots of books have been around for centuries the Hagakure being just one of many some have been around for many centuries.

The range of topics varies but my thoughts have been have these oldest books survived because of the great knowledge written down on the pages, stone, animal hide, mashes and dried plant matter or what ever materials they were penned.

Many cases the argument would seem fairly easy yes these books contain knowledge that needs to be known by the generations that follow and people have taken great care to preserve them.

However the nagging thought in the back of my mind is are these really the best things that man had offered up and what remains from 2000 years ago are just what happened to survive until the modern day.

I’m sure there is some doubt to the latter argument but take the library of Alexandria burned to the ground by Romans what knowledge was lost then for all time. What painful discoveries already made had to be made over again. How many times have we had to relearn that the world is round or round-ish, or that the misuse of lands leads to the death of the people living on those lands? How close have we come to extinction? They estimate that the plague killed off over a quarter of the world population at that time.

Has that ever happened before and all record of it has been lost to the whims of a tyrant’s torch? Or even an accidental fire, every major European city and several here in the US have been extremely damaged by mass fires.

Our transfer of knowledge into technology which isn’t compatible with the next generation of technology, could we be our own killers of knowledge in our quest to be better?

But is what survives the best stuff that was ever out there or will somebody find some thing buried somewhere and say, ‘We found better stuff.’ But this time it won’t be juice it will be something even cooler.

I still think I look at the world just fine thank you very much
