You may or may not be who you say you are

Perspective really depends on so much. If I mentioned a person of note or in the public arena most of you would know that person and perhaps why they are known. The other day prior to the last pro football game of the year or the very expensive advert TV special Stunt Boy says I don’t know who Madonna is. I said seriously

He said, well I do now because I had to look it up.

Really? I said.

He said, Yeah, how old is she anyway? They should probably have someone better do the halftime thing.

Wow, I think but said something about how most people watching the game are older and know who she is and will enjoy the performance.

He said something like yeah I guess

I said we only watch for the commercials anyway

He said yeah that’s true.

So no matter how big you think you are there is someone out there who doesn’t give a rats hind bits who you are and doesn’t know what you do at all.

In other news

The gods of electronics seriously do not like me or I have done something to earn their disfavor. The latest list of devices to add to the list of victims is a microwave. It is dead.

I don’t have the money for a microwave.

And mean while mother nature hates me too, not too mention several other lord and deities and perhaps a few other worldly beings have decided like Karma that I should be their whipping boy too.

Hold up, look I understand you all wanting to jump me like a narc at a biker rally, I’m not sure why exactly but sure why not let it be me, but can we take turns please. Perhaps let me get my head above water from time to time because isn’t it more fun to prolong the agony because if you muck it up and kill me to quickly the fun is over then

It’s like batting a balloon around with a bunch of friends it’s simple yet just so much darn fun… until the balloon pops and then everyone including the bystanders go …Awe… and have a look on their faces as if all fun has died. You know the look.

So Karma, and other former persons of note in the pantheon of forgotten lords and what have you all … if it isn’t too much to ask, and I know that it is but I’m asking anyway take your pent up aggression because no one believes in you guys anymore out on some else for a bit and perhaps realize that if it were not for me you wouldn’t be getting any press at all because some kid somewhere is saying who the hell is Karma anyway.

And their dad is saying oh that is who messes with Invisible don

Invisible who?


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

WTH / WTF Wednesday #18

It has come to be a constant in our world the use of cell phones or some other form of personal communication device is going to be around and there really isn’t much you can do about it. It is the way of the world …well until there is an EMP and then well …welcome to the stone age because we don’t have a sable structure to communicate without them any more.

However, our one sightedness about things isn’t the WTH/F of the week. It is all the little annoy things these devices can do or more to the point what the annoy people do to make their toys more annoying.

Sure they are with it, they are hip, they are nifty, they are neat, they are cool, they are gonzo… maybe not gonzo … eh, well I suppose the right person could make it gonzo but more likely you’ll capture a gonzo rather than be gonzo. Thing is they are the thing to have and things your thing can do well that makes it a better thing …I think… and some have more than one thing, my thing one and my thing two and more.

Most of us are also accepting… dealing… trying to cope with the fact that these things are going to make noises and sounds that annoy the ever loving stuffing out of us and get on our very last nerve at times … but we calmly ignore these things because the doctor said letting the little things like that get to you is going to cause you to have a stroke and you need to not let that happen because it’s bad. Very bad (insert scolding doctor face)

So even if the phone in the cubical next to you… down the aisle … across the office… is playing the theme song to a science fiction movie franchise about a misunderstood knight in a futuristic iron lung you have to let it go. Even if it plays the wheezy mechanized breathing of the before mentioned black knight 50 bazillions times a day … you must stay calm.

I’m sure there a plenty that play other equally annoying things too and even some you may enjoy the first twenty or so times you hear them but after one of their idiot friends or their kid has spam dialed the person for the 5 millionth time, even your favorite song will spin you into a homicidal rage.

My point isn’t the music and cutesy ring tones

It’s the idiots using the devices. So here are some rules you should follow when using your toy/device/phone

First - It should be with you always that way when your idiot friends call you, you can hit the ignore button so we don’t have to hear the phone ring and how else are you going to drop it the toilet if you don’t take it in there with you.

Second – If you call someone and they do not answer the first time. Do not call them again on the same phone. I’m sure you really must think well they just can’t hear the phone ringing because if they know it is me call they will answer. Sorry cutey-kins they are ignoring you or unlike your idiot self they have things to do and your whacha doin? Call isn’t ranking as important right now. They will call you when they have time to call you or they just don’t like you. Either way you should probably find something else to do with your thing like play one of the gazillion apps on the thing

Third – No matter how anxiety ridden you are do not call that person again for at least another hour. Unless you are a parent trying to call your kid then spam the hell out of them most likely they have their ear buds in a listen to some other portable device you bought for them too and they just haven’t heard, seen, felt your phone call yet. Yes felt they all vibrate now so you can feel them … I’m not certain that it’s proper usage but that isn’t really a sticking point for me.

Forth – When you down load your ring tones do not apply them for income calls … I don’t want to hear … Please enjoy the music while your party is reached…insert song that only the person owning the phone enjoys … I do not want to hear that crap and no one else does either… so stop it and cut it the hell out.

Fifth – If some one is talking to you face to face 90 percent of the calls you get are going to be secondary to the person who is in front of you. Now I say 90 percent because it could be an escape call, it could be one of your kids, your spouse generally trumps the person in front of you… well unless you are with your other significant other … well that’s just uncomfortable for everyone.

Sixth – if you are with someone else and you take the call let them know why you have to take it .. It’s my kid, wife husband, mistress …expect a slap if you say that last one to your wife or husband. But it lets them know why you are not talking to their face when their face is in your face.

Seventh –when you get a call with your annoying as hell ring tone that you only like and you are in public answer that shit right away no one wants to hear it and if you have an annoying ring tone the only time you are likely to get a call is in the one place you don’t want to hear LMFAO singing, Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle dance like the Holocaust Museum. …Awkward

Eighth – I forget what eight was for

Ninth – it is only a thing it is not a way of life and if you are spending more time playing with your phone / device rather than interacting in reality with other people except of communication devices you’ll find that you won’t really have people to hang out with who aren’t talking to other people who aren’t with you at that moment.

Tenth – don’t talk really, really loud or even keep taking that personal call around your friend or remain in the office if your call is going to be more then an minute. No one wants to be a part of your drama… and its’ all drama to people not involved in it so no matter how important it may be talk softly or go somewhere private.

So for firetruck sake put the things/devices/phones away and talk to someone or do something with your hands you may find there are better toys out there in the world

That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow

Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Just a bunch of stuff

Finding time, losing time, wasting time, time flies, out of time, I’ve got no time, out of time, time out, time in, how much time, when will we ever find the time.

It isn’t a commodity but sometimes we treat it as if it were. I think sometimes I don’t have the time to do this or that.

It isn’t that time is the issue we just aren’t willing to commit ourselves to that task for an estimated amount of time.

I think one of the reasons that I don’t like working with others or waiting on others is that it takes time away from other things that need to be done or that I want to get done or do.

It isn’t so much a control thing as it is a matter of wanting to keep everyone happy.

Part of my personality is that I see the benefit to both sides of a choice. Then if possible I want to do both provided that they are both legal.

I have trouble saying no to people in certain situations. I don’t in others it all depends on the issue.

However I know one of my largest sources of stress is lateness of others. I know what I’m doing and I do try to keep my schedules that I make with others because I see it as an insult to the person to waste their time. I certainly feel that way about people who are late that they do not respect me enough to be on time.

However I know some times that there are deadlines and time tables that are just meaningless and have no point other than someone else exerting their control over you.
Usually they attach some reward for you all them to have that control..

I see this as an area where I need to improve upon because I will develop temporary Tourette’s syndrome when someone is late and I’m sure my blood pressure is not at respectable levels.

This loss of composure isn’t always evident but other times it is certainly very visible I may as well be holding a sign that says horrible mean ugly and nasty things about the person because it is in my body posture even if I say the polite thing, oh it’s ok. When inside I’m screaming oh no it is not ok bleepity bleep bleep.

Being that patience is a part of mindfulness and how you let this effect your view, speech and action are certainly tested by your current state of mind.

I try to laugh at myself at those times and find a way to approach it in a meaningful way which resolves the problem at hand and then how to prevent the issue from reoccurring later.

When I figure it all out I’ll write a book about it and make lots of money until then I do try to avoid those Tourette’s moments

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

Knowing which witch is which is tricky

There are so many positive messages out there in the world and facebook and other sites are able to bring the wisdom of the ages and sages to your very doorstep, neigh right to your hearth. All of this wisdom stating happiness (without the y), tolerance, strength, serenity, peace and love for all the worlds people without regard to anything or a word specific to the reader.

It is truly knowledge for all to have and to use in their lives.

The tricky part is that all of this takes work and ….spoiler alert …. Just thinking it and wanting it is not going to get it for you no matter who told you that Secret.

Now some of you will think, oh poo sha there goes the invisible kid being glass half empty, but like I always say a box of shit wrapped in Christmas paper is still a box of shit.

There is a practical side to knowledge, that the witticisms do not included in their sayings. Some will offer some indication that this is not so easily obtained, while others just blissfully spout on about the positive without regard for the pragmatic side.

It takes more than just saying things for them to be true and there will always be people who want to firetruck things up for you because they are to busy do thing there thing and well you my friend are in their way. So the hell with you is what they say. Just like another bit of wisdom, “Here is to the health and wealth of those who love me and know me well, the rest of you can go straight to hell.”

It is a “dog eat dog” world out there and finding peace, happiness and all that other stuff out there that people say they want, that they really, really, want (yes it is an homage to the spice girls) may not actually be what the want.

Because what we want may not be popular so we don’t want to seem un cool, or it may not be altruistic and we don’t want to appear to be selfish and greedy even though we are all a little bit.

Even when we wish for things we want it to fit within the shallowness of our preconceived notions of what it should be.

Probably isn’t going to happen the way that we want it to happened and how many times have we passed up happiness, joy, peace, serenity and the lot of it because it wasn’t presented in a way that we expected it to be. Like I said before, a box of shit wrapped in Christmas paper is still a box of shit. Sure it looks bright and shiny under the tree and hell it may be bigger than the rest of the boxes, it is still a box of shit and unless you are going to make the earth healthier for crops you don’t want a box of shit.

But well all fall for the same things over and over again. We build up barriers to our own success or there are those in the world who will only be happy if you fail.

Sorry that is just the way it is, not to throw mud at your rose colored glasses but that is the simple truth of it. Now there are ways around all the obstacles and trap and annoying people but it takes work and what you are looking for may not look like you think it will look like, so pay attention the best things may already be at your doorstep.

In other news

I keep making a typo today when ever I type it, Freud would have something interesting to say about that and I would have to say. You know Ziggy you are correct, a single scoop only though, please.

Off to kill things in the virtual world.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Ew, Seriously, So Gross

Every time I miss a few days of writing I feel like I should explain why I haven’t been writing. Which I’m not really sure why I feel like this, it isn’t like I get paid to do this thing still just have the urge to explain.

Truth is there isn’t really a reason, I have been feeling just as self deprecating as usual and have had as many completely random things and off track observations running around in my thoughts as always. They just didn’t make it to the blog and off the little bits of paper.

I even have a WTF / WTH thing to write but that will have to wait until next week.

Then too when I stop writing the idea start to back up and get all clogged and when I sit down to write I get all confused as which thing should come first.

Then too the MFL wasn’t there the other day and no it is certainly not what you may think that it may mean however hopefully things will swing back to normal now.

In other news

Happy Ground Hog Day, I was in Punxsutawney PA several years ago but not on 2/2 and it isn’t a terribly exciting little town but the main public library has a ground hog zoo. Hey if you were close enough to the town you would go as well and that is what we did.

Even went up to Gobblers Knob and stood where Phil would be if it were 2/2 when I was there. It was a fun little trip and I can say I’ve been there now. Have you?

In other, other news

Doodle seems to be enjoying her self at go away college and Stunt boy is gearing up for summer already and may get is dental bling removed soonish.

I know not much of a blog but hopefully newer editions will be more interesting or at least I’ll bag on myself a bit more to keep the reading flowing along. Getting new things for the SOFUCT so it is a double slam I am particularly excited that now instead of insulting myself 6 different ways I’ll be doing it 12 different ways. If I can make it a trifecta, well that is just too much to hope for but I can dream or more to the point shatter my dreams with the verbal thrashing worthy of royalty, I am king of the bastards after all.

The Ew, Seriously, So Gross Geico ad is currently my favorite thing on mass media right now.


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
