Happy Sextillia the first

 As with most of my scribbles and babbles,....there is more to it than you think.

Time and history.  Whatever.

Spooky action at a distance

 I was trying to remember how many states my vehicles have broken down in. My brother in law wanted to hear it to see if it was more states than he had been to. 

It donned on me I had perhaps won a bowling tournament in more states than he had been in. 

Then a game came to mind.

If a bowling center I won a tournament in doesn't exist anymore,  did I win?

Little pieces of history disappear daily, as we become the ghost of ourselves.

I so desperately want to be that old man that just says random shit

 And then one day, it happened. And then, every day was laundry day. 

Because I believed 

a rhyme and rhythm to scattered thoughts

 my wife just asked if we plan on shipping anything anytime soon.

I say "not at the moment"

she says she is going to pop all those shipping airbags and throw them away. 

I say...."you know it doesn't matter how that question is answered. it only matters after the decision is made. "

if you save the bubbles and they take up needless space forever, nothing will ever  need to be shipped. 

if you pop or throw away shipping supplies, you will need them immediately. 

and people think there is no magic...

As I've written before...

it takes all kinds.

 Joiners. Believers.

 Skeptics. Stoics. 

Outliers.

 ...those who need approval.  

     Those who don't.

 Groups. Individuals. 

Doers. Procrastinators.

 Those that know better. 

Those that don't. 

Those that will.

 Those that won't. 

Those that have no idea.

Those that can't. 

Those that keep a distance.

 Those that know what's coming.

It takes all kinds 

for a species

 to scatter and survive.

.................

I've spent a lot of time broken down on the side of the road in a lot of places....Arizona, Nevada, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Oklahoma...I'm sure there is more, but I've got to stop somewhere. 

 I hope I've helped enough people to honor those that saved my ass. 

to be finished when i damn well feel like it

ten thousand hours

 there is some confusion that it takes 10,000 hours to master something. 

no.

 it takes 10,000 hours to realize you cannot "master" anything. 

it takes 10,000 hours to fully realize you will dedicate your life

to learning the next lesson your passion chooses to teach you. 

ten thousand hours to realize there will never be enough hours

that the master simply teaches what the master can 

because the master has no ego

the master is just a loving apprentice

the unwavering steward

the world will end today....tune in tomorrow, same time, same channel

 as a public service, there will be no post today due to nothing good to say. 

wouldn't it be grand if the news worked this way?

instead....they open the show with OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT....FIRE...DISEASE....STUPID PEOPLE WONT DO WHAT SMART PEOPLE SAY...YOU ARE ALL WORTHLESS, WEAK, AND SOON TO BE HOMELESS....AND NOW PICTURES OF RICH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU...

 and we all watch or read it. 

go laugh at something. 

do something beautiful

research Last Thursdayism if you can't think of anything useful to do.

everyday is my first day with the new feet

 this post will randomly write itself throughout the day.

my wife says i need to make a file or something of photos of my various arthritis issues of the last ten years for the doctors. i may just attach it to a new page of this blog. it's weird enough, so it qualifies. 

do you remember when you knew

I just ate oatmeal in the summer.  It seems wrong

Computer shuts off every five minutes or so if I am not engaging it.  Phone goes AWE SNAP every minute when I go through search results on [silver shiny]....think it's from updates ?   Yes, I know how to adjust settings...apparently someone else does, also.

Car problems...

I laugh this shit off, but I know how life works. If you aren't prepared, if you don't have means....shit literally falls on you, and you can't help yourself at that point.  Kind of like the Dave Ramsey thinking...if you don't have an umbrella when you need one- you get wet. If you don't have the umbrella, Wet will find you.

I still laugh it off, but I laugh at me.

My computer just shut off again cause I was typing on the phone.

It's not all bad. I have a computer and a phone to contact family, and a wife who loves me, and at least for the moment, food and healthcare.

"It can get worse"

Should be a bumper sticker

After a 10 minute impromptu household search for a book of stamps, my wife just grabbed a large dish of rice and put it in the frig in the only possible spot, and turned her back and said "  Heh Heh. Tetris".

nothing is actually about money...you know that, right?

that is the grandelusion

Whodathunkit

 every baby makes the same noises- almost as if we are all born knowing the same language but taught another for the sake of ...why?

And now the old repeats

Smith-Mundt 

=========

just spoke to two different groups of people for about 30 minutes each, which is quite lengthy for not knowing what I was talking about.   Considering how little I actually speak aloud anymore, that will have to suffice.   I think I covered all the vowels, consonants, and human like gestures.

I'd like a product endorsement deal for drapes.  Not those flimsy flowered pattern drapes. Those manly , super heavy, ugly don't let the light in, keeping life private and your utility bills down industrial strength probably stop a bullet drapes.

The ones that are like flexible walls for windows.   One of the great inventions.  You've got the wheel...fire...the cup....condoms...and the heavy duty drape.

I bowled a tournament last week and heard that a younger talented entrant said to my son "Damn. I didn't know your dad could do that"  as I got comfortable game 9 and went left and wheeled it.        It feels good and sad at the same time.  Sometimes, getting old makes you your own ghost.      

You know what you need when your head goes down this road?

Grand kids.    Just the thought of them fixes most everything

So...I'm bowling and this guy says his inner voice says "I'm not comfortable with where I'm at ".

I asked him what language his inner voice spoke in.

I was just curious. I think mine is Mandarin, but I don't know what it's saying.

That's how well I'm bowling.

=========

Great name for a bowling bar

all I am saying is if you dip the velveeta in the Peanut Butter....your world will change. Now...add bacon. Then Tomato and Miracle Whip ShHH. You did not hear it from me. I could lose my powers over this

Free Form Life

 Nothing I have written is about me. It is about actions and reactions...interactions. It's about what is not said. It is about the visual not captured.

Life is music, and it is about the notes not played. 

Every choice is about why and what you didn't, at least as much about what you did. 

Every thing you do or did, also creates a choice of actions among others. 

Clay. Becoming form. Reshaping constantly.
