I noticed today when someone read a thing that the average person does this fill in the blank so much or so often optional specified period of time my answer is I don’t do that that much or I do that way more than that or I’ve never done that.
I suppose it is a good thing to be not so average but reading some of them seems to be that I may be a bit further out in the rye than I thought.
Today’s thing was really only because I choose not to do that thing that it was and not because I couldn’t do that thing. I’m not saying what that thing is because it isn’t related to the point. I could just as easily been any number of things and it wouldn’t have applied to me.
Then later there was a further comment that I am not acceptable by conventional standards. I mention this not to garner any empathy or sympathy or attention just that coincidentally the day I notice one thing not fitting there is an unsolicited response to confirm said thing from a party unaware of the former information.
I see a me in my mind that is a compilation of me as I’ve grown there is a me from every age, stage, event in my life in my mind making my mental self image. I know that my mental self image is not what other people see. Hell I don’t even see my mental self image when I look in the mirror. I will sometimes see photographs of myself and it takes a minute for it to register that is me in that photo.
Some people say that I don’t like myself which is not true, I like the who, I am. I just don’t think that other people like that person. Mostly I don’t care if anyone likes me, mostly.
No one can say they truly do not care what anyone thinks about them. There are those times when you wonder what do we really know about what people think about us.
We know what they tell us they think but is it really what they think? Or is it some version of their thoughts packaged to be the most consumable by you when you ask.
So I’m not normal and I’m ok with that, I less ok with that other people may not be ok with my not being normal or average or what ever.
It feels at times though that the fringe is closer than when I last looked and that people don’t see me. They see past me, through me or that more likely I’m like what ever the visual equivalent is to white noise. You need it to fill in the spaces between things but it isn’t really important.
Of course it may just be the day and that while I’m trying to keep my mind from something it will not allow me to not go there. So much space between then and now and still the lights around doorways in the dark make me leery. Because what you find on the other side isn’t always what you hope.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

One step beyond
The dead have a way of remaining a mystery to us. We know what we know about those who have been with us and no longer share this level of existence.
This time of year has been a time when the death circles nearer for me, reminders of what was once and exists now only in that place between.
They say cats are half in and half out of the world of the dead, probably where the whole 9 lives things comes from, odd too that they are one of the few animals that will and are equipped to fight back even before they can see.
Why give that ability to any creature, unless there is a need for it.
What lies beyond? No one really can tell you until you’ve gone but we dismiss those who say they have.
Is the light they see the light of the after life or is it the light of the next life beginning of a rebirth.
Recently, I had a conversation with my father, which doesn’t seem an odd thing to say, unless you consider that he has been dead for the last 8 years.
This was as real a conversation that I have ever had awake in every respect. I woke from that conversation with a sense that things between my father and I were more settled than they have been.
We were getting along when he died, but to say we were close as father and son would not have been something anyone would have ever said of us. However, we were getting there.
Then he died.
There were things left unsaid between us as there are with any one who has lost someone. However I know that our last words were words of kindness.
In our recent conversation it was a continuation of where things were going in our time here if there were more time here.
Who knows, maybe it was just all the cold medicine, but I don’t think it was. This was real or at least it was for me. I can’t prove it to anyone else and the thing is I don’t need to prove it to anyone. Maybe it was just a collection of memories blending together and forming a dream conversation fulfilling some gap or void in that relationship. Maybe it was really a visit from his energy that remains in this world and we are just more willing to allow that energy to interact with us while we are asleep.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Nap Attack
Ever notice that napping and sleeping are completely different
I mean apart for the whole length thing because a nap can certainly be longer than you intended it to be.
I just woke from a nap the began much like a computer popping up and saying a threat has been found on your computer an emergency power down will begin in 5 …4…3…2…1
OFF
The screen fades to black before you can stammer out wait what?
So I was feeling better when I woke up today but I suppose that my internal scans were like nope we found a nest we need to divert all energy to combat mode
The germ fighting part of me asks, What is the alert human doing?
The brains responds, Nothing critical.
The germ fighting part says, Good, shut him off
The brain says that may take a bit
The germ fighting parts says, Shut him off now and stares at the brain
Then the brain says Ok, never breaks eye contact with the germ fighting part and reaches back and hits the emergency shut off. Whirrrrrrrrr blip power gone.
This was the kind of nap when you wake up, it feels like you have to pull your head back out of some hole in sleep land
Apart from being sick naps are different that sleep.
Naps you can fall out in a three piece suit with a tie, try to sleep like that, not happening unless you are Barney Stinson. Sleep requires a delicate balance of clothing based on the temperature, bed clothing, atmospheric pressure and the tilt of the earth.
During naps you can sleep face down on concrete, try to intentionally sleep there, you’ll walk around in a circle more times than a dog trying to mash down grass that doesn’t exist in your living room trying to make that seem a bit softer before committing to a lay down.
Naps really require no preparation at all, while getting ready to go to sleep is full of ritual and prepping and primping it’s like you are getting ready to give it up the first time. We all know that didn’t go as planned. And if it did good for you, nice work I mean that really most sincerely that takes effort to resist urges…ok wait off topic
Naps don’t require you to empty your brain of your troubles. You can have a million things on your mind and still be able to get your nap on. Have one little thing bothering you come time to sleep. I’ll be in to ask about the shadows, lines, cracks, holes in the ceiling later.
So times naps even turn in to sleep. You know that ones where you fell into a nap than wake up look at the clock and realize that is now past your regular time to go to sleep but too early to get up and call it an early start to the day. You have to avoid making the statement I’ll just go to sleep because you’ll lay there awake for an hour or more before drifting back off, but if you just say I’ll just nap a while longer then get up you’ll be back out faster than you can do math when you decide to hit the snooze button in the morning.
Mostly you don’t have that pressing need to pee after a nap like you do after you’ve been down for a sleep.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

I think you are standing on my chest...
So I survived Thanksgiving but I may be referred to as Typhoid Man from now on. It appears that my body decided that because I have the next few days off it was the perfect time to let off the biohazard bomb in my body. By 4:30 in the afternoon I’m sure the grim reaper will be coming to see me soon and I spent the better part of the next 16 hours sleeping or rather trying to sleep. I’ve been coughing so much my kidneys hurt. Yay. (chagrin)

When you order fries to go from the fast food places there are two kinds of fries
The first kind are the fries in the packet, container, bin, bucket, or what ever thing they serve the fries to you in. Those fries are really good.
The other kind of fries, are the bonus fries. The bonus fries are those that end up on the bottom of the food bag that have escaped the container. You only get bonus fries when you get take out. The fries that fall onto the try in store are just spillage fries and it’s not the same.
The bonus fries are the same really as the other fries but they some how they taste just a little bit better than the regular fries. Because you don’t know that you have them until all of the regular fries are gone and then …
Bonus fries. That is the joy at the bottom of the bag
Well today stunt boy and I are coming back from the other one’s house and he got hungry. So we stopped, ordered and got back on our way. So we share the regular fries and then he eats his dead animal sandwich and then bonus fries.
Except that this time it was Bonus Fry
Stunt boy ate the only Bonus Fry, he didn’t even offer me half he just ate it
It was a very sad thing and the thing is I really want fries now because I didn’t get any bonus fries
In other news… I’m going to try not to die. Anyone have a bio hazard sign?
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

The telephone is ringing, is that my_______ on the phone
They say that the more things change the more they stay the same. Seems that there is some saying for just about any situation and there is also generally counter argument too boot.
However waiting by the phone hasn’t really got the same meaning any more. Not that I’m waiting by the phone for anyone to call, because there isn’t anyone wanting to call me. More of the OFUCT but not the point.
Kids today don’t know the meaning of waiting by the phone. You had to stay at home to get a call and as soon as you left was when you were likely to get that call you were expecting. Le sigh.
But now you can go out, go here go there and everywhere and you can get that call most anywhere you go. Some places should be off limits but I’ve seen people take people into the public restroom talking away on the phone. Does the person on the other end of that line really want to hear you pee or drop a deuce? Well whether that person does or not they are about to be a part of that transaction.
I suppose the good thing is that it isn’t Skype
The anxiety isn’t really less though, once upon a time if you left your phone you could forget that you were expecting a call. But when it’s with you it’s a constant reminder that the person you are expecting to call you hasn’t called. Oh and they still haven’t called. Nope not yet, it can become maddening, add a bit of OCD and that is a recipe for a panic attack and some alcohol and you may have a reality break or at least a breakdown with sobbing for sure possibly some wailing and gnashing of teeth too. That last bit usually happens when someone say, it will be alright to sooth the sobbing and wailing and is greeted with WTF do you know (gnash, gnash) OMG and such
So try to live 24 hours without your phone just put it some where that you’ll remember where you put it. It was sort of hard to loose those wall mounted phones so the scramble to answer that expected phone call always went to the same spot.
Now you have to do the self body search to find the phone.
Side note I get a lot of women’s fashions don’t include pocket but is the bra the best place to keep the phone? Sure I don’t mind seeing the sometimes dip and retrieve but isn’t that asking for a possible wardrobe malfunction.

I am off work for the next four days as is most of country but I do not plan on shopping anywhere. Now I’m off to slay some video game bad guys.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Being Thankful ... mostly
Not to be all trendy but being that the holiday of giving thanks. I will take a break from my normal self deprecating rant and say some of things that I am thankful for in my life.
My kids doodle and stuntboy. I am thankful that they are healthy and happy and have made very good choices in their lives. They are intelligent and witty and being their dad is probably the best thing I’ve done with my life. I would like to see doodle a bit more often but I understand getting out there and doing your own thing.
I am thankful for the rest of my family but I’m not going to get into the particulars but we did get to see many of them recently on the trip out to LA.
I am thankful that in this economy that I have a job despite it’s ups and downs but don’t they all have those.
I won’t go on mainly because it isn’t really thankful to start flaunting all the stuff you are thankful for then it seems to be a bit snobby.
In other news
I really like the 2 broke girls show and wonder sometimes how they get some of that stuff on the TV. But I still laugh my ass off
In other, other news
Isn’t it time that we dial it back on the uber sarcastic stuff all the time. I mean serious 24/7/365 sarcastic remarks everywhere you go, enough … too much of a good thing is too much.
I think two decade of constant smacking remarks has really pushed us way past the full ration. Who knows maybe I’m wrong but perhaps maybe only every 4th remark would be nice. I don’t know
Well I’m off I promise this will get more interesting soon or it won’t but you can look forward to me beating myself up some more and that’s always fun.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Litter Box thought
Litter box thought of the night
History is there to serve as a guide post for us to learn and excel and we do take many steps forward before we take steps back.
However we are in a period of revolution and one of the things that many revolutions have in common is that the ruling class or those with power perceive those who serve and work as not being willing to work with a workable system and that the system isn’t broken.
Unfortunately as we look back at those revolutions the system the powerful defended as working and useful were not working and abusive
We may not be completely broken but we are certainly in need of a serious tune up.
Those in power do not see that things must change peacefully or eventually they will change by what ever means available
Generally something else those in power should remember about revolutions is that the ruling class doesn’t generally do so well in the survivability arena.
The people are speaking peacefully that the system needs to be changed, no one wants a free ride but they want what they pay for and not the run around and that when bargains are entered they are honored and not having the rules changed in mid game. Not sure why that is so hard to understand.
Pretty deep for cleaning a litter box

stumble and fall...
If you are reading this you may have an addiction.
No not to me, I’m rather not addicting … I think my current status in the relationship realm speaks volumes on that particular topic.
However the internet and the things on it are rather addicting.
But is it really an addiction or more a curiosity of our species to see what else is out there
Could be a lack of being content with things
Perhaps nothing better to do

No not to me, I’m rather not addicting … I think my current status in the relationship realm speaks volumes on that particular topic.
However the internet and the things on it are rather addicting.
But is it really an addiction or more a curiosity of our species to see what else is out there
Could be a lack of being content with things
Perhaps nothing better to do

Way out west
Recently the dynamic duo and I went to Los Angeles for our cousin’s bat mitzvah. This was a good trip which started out a bit horrific… ok problematic I’ll try to be less dramatic.
Anyway we arrive at the departure airport to check in an hour before departure time. This is a domestic flight not an international and it is out of a domestic only airport with 6 gates of which only two are ever used at any single time. Anyway
We are told you won’t be leaving on that flight we over sold it and there was a cancelled flight from yesterday so those seats were given to those passengers. WTF?
No kidding these are the words out of the persons mouth. Again, WTF? There are tons of problems with this customer service persons statement alone. Then he adds after we complaint legitimately and respectfully, Well if you don’t like it you can always go to another airport.
The hell you say, Not wanting to get arrested I said thank your for that sir your sarcasm isn’t appreciated
To which he replies Neither is yours
He really did say those words after his company made the error of over selling a flight and bumping passengers well in advance of departure. I’m sorry you cancelled a flight the day before. You compensate those people fairly but you don’t phuck more over in the process.
Then to be done with the discussion he just walks off into the back without saying anything behind those airport doors that you can’t follow him through
Anyway he comes back out well after there is nothing to do about getting on the plane that we were supposed to be on
Long story short we make it to LA on different flights Doodle on one and stunt boy and I on another. Arriving several hours apart from one another which makes it all the more fun for those on the other end meeting us no instead of going to LAX once that day they get to go twice.
If you’ve been to LA you know the horror that is in and out of LAX if you don’t know LAX then there really aren’t words for it except that imagine every car and van and taxi you have ever seen in your life all in the same place all trying to get to the same loading/ unloading zone at the same time. And that is just the outside of LAX
So we make it to the Hotel
Yay. So what was to be a day of hanging out in LA was a day hanging out in airports.
Next day is a bit of touristy stuff. Stunt boy went with the other one and his family to the Santa Monica Pier and I stayed behind to help move stuff to the temple for the Bat Mitzvah after celebration. Which was fun I jumped of the pier the last time I was in LA no need to the return to the scene of the crime.
Then we had dinner at our cousin’s home
Then the next day was the Bat Mitzvah which was very cool and I enjoyed being there.
Now my cousin is in the business of entertainment business in LA. He has been in several TV shows and a couple of movies. Nothing huge but still better than most and his wife is also in the business behind the cameras.
There were several people who are in bigger things who were at the Bat Mitzvah and are friend of my cousin and his family.
I didn’t point and tried not to be obvious that I knew people and took a few photos with my phone.
The guy in the playstation commercials was there and he spoke with me, So how do you know (my cousin’s name)
I say oh he is my cousin
He says oh ok have a good time and then he mingled around some more.
I was all calm on the out side but on the inside I was like OMG you are the guy from the PS3 commercials and stuff.
Then there were other people there too. I was able to maintain and not offend anyone and I didn’t even ask for any autographs. I learned my lesson from when the other one and I met Ryan Reynolds and loudly blurted out “you are that product testing guy” about his character Berg on Two Guys and a Girl.
The celebration went well, singing and dancing and merriment.
The next day was brunch at the cousins and then we went to Venice Beach for the day to do the touristy thing
Then later I, stuntboy, my cousin’s daughter and my cousin who is in the navy went to Burbank to pick up food and to cone at a McDonalds
Then it was more family hanging out and catching up and talking about stuff.
The next day it was back to Virginia all in all it was a good trip and everyone had a good time. Without too much family drama, you can’t have a family gathering without some drama though but I’m not getting into this one.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

I may have missed a memo or two
I know I’m a bit off center
Some would and others do say more than a bit off center. Regardless of how much I’m off kilter I don’t really see it as being all that much most of the time.
That is until I start talking and the person I’m speaking with will tilt there head to the side and look at me with a blank stare. In those moments I resist the urge to look behind me because I’m sure there is a monster back there. However usually it is just me that has them befuddled. Perhaps I have stared to long into the abyss and now it stares back.
Without an example it may be hard to understand, so here is one, part of the job I have involves going to autopsies. We really don’t have to go all that often especially when compared to the people who actually do them but considerably more than a regular person. They don’t bother me and I don’t mind relating the experience and that’s when people start looking at me like ah… you aren’t right.
The macabre doesn’t bother me, the slightly off center is attractive and some of the more traditional ideals and values are really just a bunch of words that people cling to, to make life somewhat more bearable. Probably not making a lot of friends there but life is life and most of the complications we face we create. My complications included. Unless they are related to driving and then it is all the dumbass drivers in front of me… dear lord… people the rules of driving are fairly simple … you don’t freaking stop while trying to get on to a freeway…well unless you are from Roanoke.
In other happy news
The Co-op has fresh pumpkin pie and you know how I know because I got a slice and I eated it already and it was yummy.
Do I need pie
NOPE
Do I like Pie
YUP
‘specially pumpkin pie.
I like other pie too but really pumpkin pie is probably my all time favorite pie … well…there might be one other kind of pie…. Nope …pumpkin is still probably number one
In other, other news.
Today was my randomly selected happy day, but it wasn’t particularly happy. I guess because I’m the one picking it. Some one else probably has to pick the randomly selected happy day for it to be a happy day for that person. I’ll have to give it some thought …well more than I just have. Unless someone wants to volunteer to pick two days a month one between 1 to 30 and then one between one and four.
The happy day is between 1 and 30 and then one to four is which weekend would be the happy weekend.
Just randomly see if it works out … like a self fulfilling prophecy plan to be happy and you will be… you know until someone comes along and takes a big ol’ whiz in your face and tells you that it is raining. It isn’t raining and you can’t will that into happiness.
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

want to play a game ...
So you may have noticed that I stopped writing my notes a while back. Some of you probably said thank god and others did say oh whoa wait where did they go. I am creative enough to come up with some elaborate and plausible reasons as to why I quit writing but it wouldn’t be the truth.
The reason is complicated and not at the same time and while it is not really all that complicated putting into generic enough terms as not to require an in depth explanation isn’t really all that interesting. Well I’m sure it could be but I don’t want to put that much effort into it and there is always the chance that I could offend someone but there isn’t any one to offend but you never know, because once out of the box it is out of the box and takes on a life of its own.
So I’ve been doing a lot of things some exciting and some not so much. However one of my favorite activities as of late is that I look on the dating website and find people I think I would like to go out with and then I play the lets find all the reasons why this person will not go out with me.
It is a pretty good game and I’m pretty good at it too. I can usually come up with a good 5 reasons within a few minutes.
Now you may be thinking, why do that? Well I’m not sure really what the deep rooted reasons are for the enjoyment of this particular activity. Well I do really have some idea but it is rather long and involved.
So I play that game a bit and then I watch some of my favorite you tubers and or play a bit of one of the current favorite video games. Usually this involves killing random AI or other players. It’s a lot of fun.
In other news
If you had not noticed the new Twilight movie comes out Friday, I will not see it then or probably for a week after the release.
In other, other news
The first official trailer for the Hunger Games was released this week. Which looks good hopefully it will be, still can’t get behind Lenny K as Cinna but I’m not a casting director so my opinion doesn’t really count in that sort of stuff, well unless he really screws the pooch with the role and then I can say you know I said he wasn’t right for the part and feel all superior. But then I’ll go back to the dating web sites and balance it all out so it is all good.
Well that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday
