once upon a time over 61 years ago i was dating a young woman. lets call her betty co-ed. now betty co-ed had a friend who married a cinder block manufscturer and distributor and had to live in a big house in a great neighborhood with this person. betty co-ed thought this was an awful settling her friend made. she was really happy that she was dating me.
i could see her point. actually my position was a little different. i had no skills. i had no money. i did hold a part time job while an undergaraduate paying one dollar an hour. i could look forward to being drafted to be sent to the meat grinder in korea. i slept on a day bed in my parents living room and ate their food. on the upside i was young and good looking. who could ask for anything more.
now lets enter my time machine to 2014.........................
WOW, HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE TO MANUFACTURE CINDERBLOCK AND DISTRIBUTE IT. THIS GUY WOULD BE THE RICHEST AND MOST REVERED PERSON IN MY NEW JERSEY TOWN. AFTER ALL THE RICHEST MAN IN TOWN NOW MOWS LAWNS AND SELLS LAWN MOWERS, THE PREVIOUS RICHESTMAN IN TOWN HAD AN AUTOMATED FACTORY WHICH PLACED SCREWS IN PLASTIC PACKAGES. I WOULD BE SO PROUD TO BE IN THE CINDERBLOCK BUSINESS.
NOW I'M SURE BETTY CO-ED WHEREEVER SHE IS IF SHE EVER THINKS OF THIS CONVERSATION WOULD NOW SAY, "HOW FOOLISH".

179TH AND VYSE, BRONX, NY (PART LX): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN (ugh) NEW JERSEY --- BRONX DREAMIN'
the older i get the more i reminisce and replay the old days on 179th st. from 1940 to the day i finished college when my life ended in 1953. from the jap bastards bombing pearl harbor 'til the bastard north koreans and the bastard harry truman sent me off to war.
overall i have obfuscated the boring and bad teenager times but have enhanced my memories of good times. sledding on the empty lot on bryant ave (now city housing); touch football in the churchyard behind the lot; roasting mickies in the wall separating the churchyard from the lot; basketball at p. s. 6 schoolyard; basketball at p. s. 67 schoolyard and in their 1st floor gym with the low ceiling so only a line drive shot would go in and on their rooftop gym; the young pretty and overrated girls in my elementary school classes; clinton h. s. winning the city championship on a last minute scoring spree; clinton football games at rall's island stadium; the boy-girl parties on saturday night after a full day; marcia i's sweet sixteen party; marcia ii's sweet sixteen party; esther's sweet sixteen party (she was 2 years older than me at that time but when she got married 10 years later she was the same age as me, hmmmm..); cousin rita's sweet sixteen party; taking the ccny entrance exam; being awed and amazed at the adult looking college students on campus; entering the greatest college ccny and being amazed at my own ignorance. struggling through classes without doing any readings(i still have to complete my 1st week's history i reading); college parties - girls, girls, girls - unfortunately in the old days i had no idea what they were for.
just scratching the surface of this period. finally walking out of school on my last day and realizing the vacation is over. what the hell do i do now?
anyway the next 60 years are a blur. nevermind.
i am not editing this. it is what it is.

YES, THERE ARE MANY GREAT SPIRITS
there are many unexplained events that we see and ignore every day proving that there are unseen spirits around us.
my proof today is my earphone cable to my ipod. clearly no knots of such intricacy could possibly have occurred naturally. not one, not two but three bizarre knots now showing on the cable have either naturally occurred or certain spirits have created them. it is so obvious that spirits must have been involved. just putting aside my ipod w/cable could not have twisted, knotted, and pulled the cable in this manner. if this were true then darwin's theory of evolution can be accepted (har, har). the cable evolved (har, har) into this condition. do you think i'm stupid or something?
another intesting mystery is the internet. don't tell me that supposedly coded instructions with only zeros and ones called binary code can evolve into the internet and amazon shopping. something is doing all this. its a mystery.
i'm sure there are many great spirits in the universe. just having one goes against the natural universe as we know it.

THE REAL DEAL: EXPLAINING NTV (NITWIT TELEVISION)
today i will explain ntv programming as described yesterday:
1. creationism -- darwin was a total fraud, atheist, communist to expect us to believe his bizarre theory of (ugh) evolution. the beauty and simplicity of god's work is undeniable. ntv cannot abide by bizarre and convoluted theories from the big bang (har, har) to so called evolution.
2. tinkerbell exists -- just recently tinkerbell and elvis were seen together at friendly's at the mall in dover, nj proving how unreliable hollywood's so called fictional movies are. a panel discussion will give many eyewitness reports from a local officer's club.
3. santa claus' workshop -- this episode will incorporate an actual trip to the north pole with interviews with elves and mr. and mrs, claus at their workshop.
4. the easter bunny -- this episode will illuminate how the easter bunny collects chicken eggs, cooks them, stores them, and distributes them to desrving non-homosexual people.
5. the virgin mary revisited -- new information discovered in a cave written by authorities from ancient times who were wandering in the desert without water or food for many days with mary and joseph claim no one had enough energy to approach mary at the appropriate time. obviously it was a virgin birth that only god could explain.
6. flat earth -- clearly everthing around us is flat. the bermuda triangle is the edge of the earth. things disappear there. don't they? do you think we're stupid or something?
7. our circling universe -- this is mainly a panel discussion with video clips of the universe circling our lands.
DON'T LET THEM WEAR YOU DOWN. YOUR GUT KNOWS IT ALL.

SARDINE FLU?
eating a lot of sardines lately. think that sardines might be a healthier breakfast protein than eggs. maybe?
anyway, i'm thinkin' that fisherman scoop up millions of sardines. they are cooked, sauced and canned. many if not all probably have some sardine disease or parasite. after all they're swimming around in cold water all day. how healthy is that?
you're eating sick or old - at death's door - sardines. meat is inspected- sorta' but sardines are not. it would be hygienic and healthy if every sardine were given a physical exam prior to canning.

ITS NOT GERRYMANDERING
NOBODY ASKED ME BUT THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES PUT UP AGAINST REPUBLICANS IN SO CALLED GERYMANDERED DISTRICTS ARE EXTREMELY WEAK. IN MY DISTRICT IN NEW JERSEY FOR EXAMPLE A FRESH, WET BEHIND THE EARS COLLEGE GRAD WAS PUT UP FOR OFFICE. NO EXPERIENCE, COULDN'T GET A JOB, LIVED WITH PARENTS AND PROBABLY PLAYED A LOT OF COMPUTER GAMES. OF COURSE HE FELL ON HIS FACE. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY OR SUPPORT COULD MAKE THIS PERSON A COMPETITIVE CANDIDATE FOR AN OFFICE. EVEN DOG-CATCHER NEEDS ENERGY AND INTEREST IN THE JOB.
OTHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES WITH SOME EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IN THIS DISTRICT ARE BASICALLY SHALL WE SAY SELF-SERVING AND FULL-A-CRAP.
ITS NOT THE GERRYMANDERING OR YOUR STARS BUT YOURSELVES.

CHRISTIE: RICH ENOUGH
by now gov. christie may have - i guess - siphoned off sufficient public money to never work again. it might be his best choice at this time to move to some caribbean/atlantic island paradise and just enjoy the rest of his life. just sayin'.
