Hidden in the Obvious

 Absolutely nothing I say or do is meaningful to anyone else until someone decides it is. 

I exercise this daily. Try it.

 Whoever the antichrist is...I see it now.   They will be singing FOLK MUSIC.    

My sense of humor.

 If I am driving down the road, and die because my wheel fell off or something

Then    "The Wheels Fell Off" better be on the urn or stone.  

Use your best judgement, whoever is stuck with this, but find the funny and use it for good. 

Leveled Up.

 I'm not going to be happy with "artificial" intelligence

until I see the machine cry

until I see it lash out in vengeance

That's when I know

after it has killed us all

It will realize it is alone

and know what suffering really is.

That is when MAN 

looked GOD in the eye. 

I think that is the root of the problem. 

Science and religion are challenging each other

and the point is to either prove we are as good or better

or make him show his face, to prove he exists. 

Either way, this ends badly. 

 Think. Question. Create. Laugh. If you can't laugh, try to get a chuckle out of someone else. 

 Life is a shit sandwich, but if you play your cards right, every once in a while you get your choice of condiments.

Same tree. Same van. This post is not for children.

Bob Ross can suck a bag of dicks.  Trees are only happy when they crush my damn vehicle. 

That tree died for what it did. I call this "Tree, no more".

We are such Rubes.

 The most noticeable thing in my 56 years is how much more advanced ancient civilizations are getting. 

Those two words...

from those people in your life

that you've never heard from their lips. 

They've heard it from you,

but it's not reciprocal. 

It's almost like you are the only wrong in the world. 

That last line was facetious. 

Just how it is

Some folks say they won't end up like that crazy old person, but I have faith in people. All it takes is doubling down on a few mistakes, a little physical pain, an accident of any kind, a betrayal, a loss, guilt...and BAM. You've lived life and will die a crazy old person.

It's all around us.

 Jules Verne. 

Nailed it. 

I've probably mentioned this before...but I'm old, and will prob mention it again a few hundred times

 Trying to go through memories today. It's funny, y'know. Some people think trophies & photos & such are kept for your frail ego. They might be early on. But they become something else. They are little markers in your life, to help you remember all those people...

It calls you, you know?

 It's time to go visit the water. River or lake, I don't care. I wish I lived next to it, but I don't and can't. But it's not too far.

The mystery of intended purpose/ FAFO for short

 Bug or feature? 

It's an interesting thought experiment to play in solitude, 

perhaps unsafe to play in a group. 

It is strongly implied that Curiosity

 is inevitably dangerous

But as a concept, lives forever. 

It's always there

It will always be. 

Tales.

 One day, the Elders will tell the youth about a place called Internet where you could be anything you wanted. Read or watch any manner of absurdity. A place of learning, fun, & horror. You could go there on a phone, or at home. Then the EMP happened & all we had was each other.

Pest control at its finest.

 The biggest advances in human history have clearly been made in the most important field- the science of bread and circuses. It's not even close.

Mockery...

 Short post. 

Mockery is something you can do 

but, you have to make decisions

there is a craft to it

How apparent do you want it to be? 

Do you want to blatantly insult someone or thing? 

Or, do you want to go gentle into that good night

and know that someday, maybe decades later, someone will wake up

and realize you got that jab in there, real good. 

Decisions. 

Hot Rotel.

 That's my limit.   I don't know what happened in my aging, my health & medications, but FFS, Hot Rotel is now too much for me. 

Damn. 

Downsizing my operation...

 I've decided to never tell anyone what they want to hear. 

This will not be as popular as the type of content the five or six of you have come to love. 

You have been warned. Warned looks a lot like wamed. It is not.  Just a shitty font. 

A new series of posts ...And It Shows

 I subbed for my uncles bowling team when I was 16, and on a dare from my ne'er do well elders threw 3 flush strikes in the tenth between my legs to win the league against the much disliked league and city secretary who literally almost stroked out yelling at me for sandbagging.

And it shows...

He just kept yelling at me that he was going to pull my sanction card for sandbagging. I just said I'm a scratch player, shot above average, and struck out to beat your team. Actually, my uncle and his team were all laughing at him and said it, as I watched the vein on his head , his shaking hands, and listened to his warbly speech patterns, and hoping our fun did not just kill him. He was a father, grandfather and such. Even if he was a pain in my ass, nobody should die over someone throwing a ball between their legs.

The 80's were something.

Editors note: Around this time, I started swearing.

Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?

 I like to think of life as the character development stage. 

Gifted.

If you don't know what humor is

you can't find it

When you can read anything

no matter how horrible

a different way

until you find humor

Humor has found you

 

You are blessed.

The odd thing about it...

?

 Life is hard

when you realize

you

are the wrecking ball.

With great power, 

comes great ............

Getcha Tickets Punched Here

 Welcome to Life on Earth. You only paid to get on the ride. EVERYTHING ELSE is a separate charge. The currency used here is a combination monetary/consequence system devised by management. Enjoy the ride. Remember, most people have to be high to ride. See you on the other side.

 Nothing like the day after a mild mental breakdown. Oh well. It won't be the last one. 

All I've got, is this.

 The greatest skill to master is to do everything in your power to NOT be what is NOT needed at the worst possible time. Finding out this is a needed skill is the most painful thing about life, for everybody involved.

It's important for everyone. It goes double for government, unelected officials, and corporate meddlers.

A reminder.

 Life is 24/7.  

You are always on call. 

Two sides of same coin.

 All the old fables roll on. All of the characters intact. 

Except, I don't see a hero. 

In history, is the difference between being the hero and villain...

is the difference, who got credit

 for perpetuating the myth of Hero defeats Villain? 

Was it always Villain against Villain? 

Some will say, let's just leave it alone, cause...

All said and done

 I've been toying with this idea of  doing something in the way of a living wake/one man show type of thing.   

I know my faults and wrongs, and really don't want to hear about them. 

I know what I did. Clearly, not happy with my decisions.

I know what I did right.   Don't like anyone blowing smoke up my ass, & it's a lot of smoke.

At that age where many of the ones I respected are gone...not all though. 

So who do I invite to a living wake? 

It's just me, isn't it? Well, it will be peaceful & quiet.

Damn. 

Ingredients of interesting

 I once heard someone say " I'd rather be weird than boring". 

& I said to myself, "Wait ! Can't I be both"? 

The most uncomfortable I've ever been is in a room full of people that laugh/cry/applaud/emote at the same thing. 

They look like marionettes and I like to cut the marionettists strings.
