DIABLO KILLS ME AGAIN

after a week of hard slogging through the parallel realm of diablo 2 and reaching level 23 they killed me.  it was late in the day and after a particularly difficult assault on the evil ones i was caught over confident and unaware that a large band of their comrades were awaiting me. 

anyway i have other important things to do.  for example; today is senior citizen discount day at harris-teeter.  must get my 5% as i'm saving for my old age.  also must return books to the library.  see!

i'm still on diablo 2 because diablo 3 got such mediocre reviews.

SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE FROM NEW JERSEY

many times taking a creature from its feral environmrnt can prove fatal.  a wild animal constrained to civilization and its boundaries has a difficult time adapting.  in spite of all difficulties my adaptation to civilization appears successful.  14 years out of new jersey and i can almost smile again and relate in an almost civilized manner to my fellow primates.

DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN RECIPE SUGGESTIONS

mmmmmmmmm.......

my sorta' vegetarian regimen seems to be working.  of course the last older person i spoke to whose diet was working turned out to have cancer.  anyhow, a delicious lunch of spinach and broccoli lightly seasoned with condiments which have been laying about in your kitchen for years is a really mmmm, mmmm delight.  for extra protein energy and deliciousness you can throw in some tofu chunks.  doesn't get any better than this.

for the more sophisticated and gourmet types the variation which includes bean sprouts, asparagus, and dandelion leaves culled from your lawn may be desirable.  i know my transylvanian relatives survived a thousand years on a similar delicious diet.

THE FUTURE IS BEFORE US

facebook ipo was supposed to invigorate stock market purchasing and begin a new round of frenzied buying of financial paper.  some of the frenzied, almost orgasmic hucksters on cnbc still seem to be intent on stuffing stocks down your throat.  the worse the world economic situation deteriorates the louder and faster these people talk.  good luck, suckers.

ON THE GREATEST MEDICAL CARE ON MY 150TH BIRTHDAY

paraphrrasing dr. Z from new jersey after taking a battery of blood tests and exams, "if you're walking around, you're walking around".  this is similar to the bumble bee flying when all the parameters say it can't.  so, if its flying, its flying.

so far, in spite of scientific evidence to the contrary i'm walking around without the aid of medieval medical machinery or drugs with more side effects than benefits or b's'ing doctors.  ok a few.

anyway for the time being i don't have to waste my time or resources or the taxpayer's resources for the so called ultra-medical care provided by our great but misled nation.

AMERICA NEEDS A SANE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

i guess there aren't any.

what a sorry state.  the republican presidential field started with a bunch of self-aggrandizing blabbermouths and seems to have ended in a run of the mill bratty rich kid.  older registered voters appear to favor him.  must be feeblemindedness is setting in.  on the other hand mixing big-pharma meds and alcohol may be to blame causing religious visions and euphoric feelings.  

anyway, when are we getting a real republican presidential candidate?

YIKES; FACEBOOK NEEDS MORE LIPSTICK

jim cramer of "mad money" says facebook is only one stock in an ocean of stocks.  really? you might not think so seeing friday's coverage of facebook news.  it was hard to tell which financial entity was more important; greece or facebook.

**********************************************************************************************************

lotsa fun friday watching the cnbc huckster media drones trying unsuccesfully to explain the gyrations of the facebook stock trading.  they couldn't even talk the so called investors into buying this dog.   lol, they were snapping at each other because of their own obvious impotence.

FACEBOOK IPO

all the experts: kramer, scarborough, deutch, et al say facebook is going down.  reasons include a gazillion customers with no money, and short attention spans. 

you stock market hounds should be aware that this is what risk is about.  buying this stock is a risk.  you can lose your money.  thats what risk means.  don' t cry to me.  it can go down and disappear when the next hot internet thingy appears.

on the other hand the experts are wrong a lot.  you may have a chance to make a lot of bucks so you can lose them on the next hot issue.  lotsa luck, suckers.

*********************************************************************************************************************************

diablo 3 unveiled yesterday.  breathlessly i awaited the reviews on amazon.  sadly my expectations were dashed and crushed.  363 users who anted up the $60 initial cost plus internet costs were disappointed and hurt by the various problems, redtape, and game.  they gave it one star- the worst rating.  only  185 users were satisfied rating it five stars.  my usual approach to buying an item is if the item has an approval rating of 10:1.  this item has a 1:2 ratio.

i'll go back to diablo 2 (or 1)  which were interesting games with very few problems.

ON DOCTORS AND MEDICARE

on the upside, you can cherry pick opinions from various doctors easily.  on the downside, half of the opinions, prescribed meds, and one-size-fits-all approach can be worthless or worse.

soooo, cherry picking is the key.  going to regular doctor requested visits can be an imposition on your valuable remaining time and your mental attitude unless there really are positive aspects.

save yourself.  no one else will do it.

j p morgan loss changes minute to minute.  it appears to be variable from 1 billion to 4 billion.  and i thought the banking business was run by precision accounting like counting the change in my pocket.   the coins in my pocket don't appear and disappear magically.

the excuse is that banks are under a lot of pressure but will persevere in their great effort to make money for you.  they're doing it for you.  you should appreciate that and be willing to reimburse the risk takers.  they're risking your assets for you.  you don't think they want to profit from this.  

mathematicians and economists are doing their best to help you.  they are not stupid you know.  although they may appear to be intellectually short changed i can assure you they operate with your interests at heart.  three cheers for our financial heroes.

ROMNEY; TUESDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKING

most self-proclaimed great people are monday morning quarterbacks and have 20/20 hindsight.  in romney's case he waits for the digestion and regurgitation of this group before he declares it his own.

there is nothing better than a posssible butt-kissing, suck-up president.

STOCK MARKET, HUH?????????????????????

on sunday after france voted the left into office, it seemed obvious that the stock market would react in a negative manner on the next trading day.  i was surprised when it didn't.  but on tuesday it started its decline, proving my belief that businessmen are mentally slow having taken two days for a reaction.

nevermind.

ON GAY MARRIAGE: WHY SHOULD A CORPORATION HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN A REAL PERSON?

nothing wrong with gay marriage.  you can ruin your life any way you want as far as i'm concerned.

also if corporations can do whatever they want then people should be able to do whatever they want.

wapo:   "  European voters deal blow to spending cuts "

looks like suicidal, ayn rand, republican voters will have to put up with the benefits of our great american life as we will follow in the footsteps of rational europeans.  perhaps business interests can pay their taxes and just fall in line with everyone else.

 Jockey Mario Gutierrez 2012 Kentucky Derby Winner

it was with a great warm feeling that i watched this athlete claim his victory.  no braggadocios and strutting around that you usually see.  with tears he rode the animal to the winners circle thanking his family and supporters and only as an afterthought mentioned the horse.

IN CONTEMPLATION OF JUNIOR SEAU

feeling guilty about watching nfl games.  it is violemt and pre-medieval.  by just watching i have a share of the responsibility in the disabilities and damage done to the players.

i can only apologize for my weakness.

OBAMA BEATS ROMNEY BY 8 POINTS THIS NOVEMBER.

i will now make it official:  obama beats romney by 8 percentage points.  no fancy algorithms.  no academic bs.  just straight intellectual ability.  eat it, republicans.

i know the results because my gut is smarter than all the paid help. 

if you need some rationale you can say mc cain was a lesser jerk than romney is and perhaps the roosevelt/dewey contest in 1944 has some similarities to this election.  roosevelt won by 7 points and romney is no dewey.

VOTE ALF LANDON.

(har, har)  pretend presidential contender romney continues his quest.

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS ALIVE AND WELL IN BEVERLY HILLS

where is bin laden's death certificate?  what doctor signed it?  was that doctor qualified and licensed at the location ?  welllll?

where are the pictures?  are they photoshopped?

these documents if they exist were created by the same people who printed up obama's birth certificate.

*********************************************************************************************************************

at any rate, our great president obama has succeeded in afghanistan where the last person who had equal success was alexander the great. 

**********************************************************************************************************************

we'll have a presence in afghanistan until 2024 when hillary clinton will finish her second term as president of the united states.   the obama-clinton presidencies will be remembered a thousand years from now.

SQUANDERING YOUR VALUABLE TIME

just ignore the republicans behind the curtain.  their nonsense and bs is just wasting your valuable time.
