As promised an update to the cast of several who appear in the blogs
I’ve really forgotten how many times I’ve updated the cast page for FB and Blogspot never, on dland a lot.
Updated cast page (Former versions are still viewable in the back issues page only on diaryland.com currently)
For those of you who are new to the readership and for those of you who have been reading for awhile and are still confused here is the updated whose who and what’s what that I may refer to sometimes in the issues so without further ado…
The Cast :
ME, MYSELF & I
Invisibledon
C’est moi, me, myself, and I, the one and only, the man, the myth, the legend in his own mind.
AKA The King of the Bastards, Commander of the Invisible Army, the priest, Pope, Martha, Hey you, Machete, flea, goose, You’re not right, Deon, all around good guy, protagonist, my own antagonist at times and the main person in most of the entries.
People and Places
Invisible Army –
The legions of the unseen, my minions of chaos, the reapers of havoc, the bringers of woe, demons of doom etc, and so forth. . Those of the readership who choose to serve at my behest and bidding in an ever evolving or devolving state of my master plan.
In all semi-seriousness the Invisible Army ( IA) is nothing to be feared or not be feared as the case may be, I will suggest a silly game to play and those who choose to play my silly games that I suggest every so often and report back. These are by in large like the third planet mostly harmless, and cost little or nothing to complete but your time.
With that said the IA is not to be trifled with… yeah because you are bad @$$
The invisible fortress
AKA the impenetrable domicile of doom – My digs, the pad, that place, the dwelling, abode, where I hang my hat ,my enclosed stuff keeper or as commonly referred to as my house or at times MAH House.
That’s right my house, this is my second house or third house depending on how you count and something like my 27th or so address in my life.
FAMILY
Doodle –
Daughter and eldest child of invisible don and primary tormentor in the life of Stunt-boy. She is a smart young lady which has more than a bit scary as a parental unit to her. This is because she has been fairly logical in most of her arguments which is more than I can say of most of her peers. See what you get for treating your kids like people. She no longer lives at home but we talk a good bit.
Stunt-boy –
Son and youngest child of invisible don. He is younger than Doodle but is now several inches taller than her. I warned it was going to happened when he was two. He is and all around good kid and my video game buddy. He is insightful and sees the big picture, nothing much bothers him at all and is probably one of the politest kids in the world. Stunt-boy even says he is sorry when he throws up - as if you need to say you are sorry when you are sick. You know you’re sick but he does.
Dynamic Duo
Collectively the dynamic duo are Doodle and Stunt boy
The nanimals
The yard kitty -Formerly Rockhead, The late kitty No longer able to leap buildings or slay Aliens, not so smart kitty – she has gone to kitty heaven the dynamic duo and I miss her.
Bi-polar kitty AKA Mouse – The elder of the cats of invisible don and the dynamic duo and former house romper pal of Rockhead.
Wilson – the newer kitty – he is a political exile of Texas, evicted for his evil ways of romper and stomper, running amok and opening doors and such. No he is a good boy and friend of bi-polar kitty
Late Tony –The girl mouse a real mouse even who has moved on to mouse heaven. No the cats did not eat her
The missing
Daisy and Seven – DAS HUNDs, my dogs, chasers of squirrels and barkers of approaching cats, birds, and everything else but won’t bark at CPG or other peoples when they walks into the yard. This is probably why they are missing. They’ve been gone for a very long time and not likely to return.
Dog – the former pet cat of Invisible Don - AKA psycho-kitty -- all around good guy cat and former morning shower inspector -- he would say yeah it's wet and then leave rather quickly. He now lives with CPG.
More family
The Parental Units - These are the biological life forms that are responsible for my being on the planet. I am a parental unit as well.
The Alpha unit is the elder model – AKA my father, dad and pop. He died in July 2003. While we didn’t have the best relationship between parent and child he is missed and I’m glad that our last interactions together were free from static, headaches and harsh words and we were working on being closer. I know that the last words to him were of love and not hate. I’m sorry that he is gone and still find it more than a bit odd that he is not around.
The Beta unit is the newer model. AKA my mother, mom, and ma. She doesn’t really respond to normal maternal labels and only by her real name which the sibs have referred to her since high school I still call her mom or mother. In blog she is the beta unit. We haven’t always gotten along and have had our harsh words back and forth. We are getting along at present and speak often.
The parental units created two other life forms which are my siblings, their
function and purpose growing up appears to have been to systematically cause turmoil, strife, displeasure, and feelings of unrest.
The Peace Maker – The second offspring of the parental units and self appointed diplomatic emissary to most everything needed or not. He is the peace maker because he always tries to keep the peace with everyone but isn’t very good at keeping the peace and always takes the opposite opinion of the person he is trying to get to make peace with someone else. Famous Quote from the peace maker “I don’t care what the truth is, just except that you are wrong” He also gave me the name King of the Bastards.
The Other one – The third offspring of the parental units. The other one has build his family refuge at the Rancho de Sade.. The other one is the other one because for anyone from back in the day and who know the three of us, my brothers and I, would always assume that any story I told about a brother was about the Peacemaker. So I would say no the other one. Famous Quote of the other one “Dude my trip buddy left me can I sit here in your room” He has left those days far, far, behind him now.
Dice – spouse of the otherone – she is cool, and has made the other one really happy about his life and put him in a good direction and now expecting the second child of the other one.
Mini-monster – the otherone and dice’s first kid
Little monster – the other one and dice’s second kid
THE EX
CPG - Former spouse of invisible don. The Ex. The Be-Atch. No the letters CPG aren’t her initials. I could give her a really mean and hateful name but that doesn’t help things CPG means Cell Phone Girl and is a rather long story which occurred before we were exes so she had this name before she became THE EX. I could also say something really nasty, mean and ugly and all that but what good would that do really. Nope not getting any tattoos that say rot in pieces either, I forget who did that.
FRIENDS
Hoover – known for several years now, crossword hero, gamer guy, would be a superhero if it were a real job, all around good guy and friend
The work crew – there are several of my co-workers who I hang around with, talk to and socialize with, all to keep our collective sanity but they all do not have nick-names at this time. Nicknames are a serious thing and need to have lots of thought put into it before you tag someone with it. It may last awhile I’ll be adding them as I think of things that fit.
Lizard- (ACC)- the first guy I nicknamed without much thought he had that name through college
BBC- former co-worker
Jonzo - the Jay to my Silent bob, Road tripper, UVA football game go-er and all around good guy
One blue green - cool person who knits, does art, cat sat for me while I was in France and has a law degree
Former Smoking buddy – Also part of the TNT, doubles as drinking buddy, band buddy, and conversation buddy, great friend and happy hour holder
Brand A and Head Nod – very good friend and her husband they are the very best of people and have a new born child. They have the best July 4 party on the planet
New York- cool person - things didn’t work out there - strange as that might have been.
Lacy – cool person – put me in a commercial and fun person to hang out with also patron of my art – saw her at the really big shin-dig – she dresses up well. But we’re just friends
Magnum – friend of Lacy, event planner in the ‘Noke – if you are from around here you’ve most likely gone to one of his shin-digs
Chubbychic – she gave herself the nickname and she did the lay out on diaryland for me I didn’t even have to ask she is the coolest person ever and very talented computer person.
Kadence- former co-worker… now works elsewhere
Confessor – person I tell all the dark secrets too and we are the only ones who know each other of all of our friends and if you have any mutual friend we don’t’ know it. There is more here but I’m not in a place where I want to share this.
The ghost – it’s very complicated and not really happy. I’m doing so much better with this now.
Texas – Former girlfriends when not referred to specifically. As in one time Tex and I were at this place or when this concert… this keeps it all fairly generic so that no one is exposed for anything they have done and there is plausible deniability for all parties. Well except for me. Why Texas? Because Texas is Texas, only one former girl friend is actually from Texas or at least that I’m aware is from Texas. None of the women in my Texas are referred to as the EX, it’s always by their name or their nickname. The EX is reserved for CPG, notice I said former, not ex-girl-fiends.
The ACC – assorted childhood chums – both guys and gals who I went to school with at various times in my life too many to list but as they come up I’ll use their nicknames for the stories some are: VI, Tweety, Lizard, Rod, Skip, T, Tbird, EZ, OZ, oz, skier god,
Military Pal and Fraternity brothers – too many to name without writing a book. Facebook has gotten me back in touch with many of these really good friends in my life. Many stories have been traded and many future ones are in the planning stages.
The Golfing and Fishing Buddies – assorted mix of former friends of Invisible Don -- kinda like the planters assorted mix -- you'll get it in a minute -- there you go – They don’t hang out with invisible don anymore not really a bad thing but we still see each other in public places catch up with the awkward hey how are you doing conversation and then won’t see one another for several months. BTW I don’t golf or fish, well not much anyway.
Pro baseball player – one of the golfing and fishing buddies - former very good friend of Invisible Don - however his wife is a very good friend of CPG so PBBplayer and I don’t hang out at all anymore. He said he wanted to get me in the split between CPG and Me but he didn’t win he has taken some verbal abuse from time to time for taking up for me when CPG and PBBP’s wife are trashing me but to keep things sane in his house I understand why he had to bail
Sir Arthur Guinness – His Holy of Holy and first maker of the very best in liquid refreshment GUINNESS STOUT
