MOVIES
i was thinking (yes i can think) this morning of the movie, "the graduate". y'know its ending is really stupid. you can't live on love alone. the hero, dustin hoffman, manages to run off with the bride who would have married a rich, good looking guy. she opts to run away with unemployed hoffman, a short dumpy guy presumably attractive to women (duh...i dunno) taking a bus (who paid the fare?) and in their ignorance apparently think they will live happily ever after. of course their relationship will self destruct as soon as they get hungry.
i guess this ending gives hope to all the average ugly, stupid guys.
among other highly over rated movies include, citizen kane, which i think i took apart a few years ago. among movie people the reference to rosebud is the name given to a tattoo on hearst's girfrind, marion davies' pubic area.

ON POLITICIANS, PEOPLE, AND DENNIS HASTERT
astonishing to me is the disconnect between dennis hastert's appearance and his actual lifetime performance. obviously my judgement of first impressions, people's appearance and who they really are is dysfunctional. i suspect most people if not all have a similar problem.
what you see is not what you get.

TRUTH IN HEALTHCARE REVISITED I
(not being of previous generation's drug culture and of sound mind (i think?) i had not previously experienced hallucinations)
during an admission to the hospital after my transplant i experienced illusions and was unwilling to admit that they were not real. of course they were real. i'm not crazy, y'know. har, har, not me, har,har.
i actually thought it was impossible for someone as smart and realistic as myself to have visions and see things that don't exist. my daughter who years ago had worked in a hospital said such events are common. i was informed that sick people on drugs can see much unreal stuff. "not me", i thought.
strangely i was able to sorta' explain these illusions to myself for example:
the tiles on the ceiling had pictures being printed on a paper roll within a light fixture which i studied with care. the paper roll was moving across the ceiling and disappearing at the wall (or ..umm.. there were several rolls since all the tiles had pictures). i did not question why that was being done because i was in a hospital and a lot of strange things seemed to be happening. there were pictures of works of art, portraits, porn, architecture, statues. etc. sometimes a porn video was played. not my fault. i didn't turn it on.
being that i have always (without a doubt been rational) i did not question these events. i kept asking visitors to my room whether they saw the pictures. although i tried i could not convince anyone that what i saw existed. what was wrong with them? i dismissed their shortcomings as bad eyesight or lack of concentration.
another strange event was what appeared to be a black thread web in my room. my son walked right through it. clearly, i surmised that it must be projected with some device that was directed at my bed since even i could see it was not substantial. some strange psychological test???? after all the hospital was associated with a university.
i queried the visitors to my room and found that to my surprise no one else could see these things. why was this bizarre projection directed at me?? i guess other people experiencing odd things just don't mention them for fear of being considered eccentric. i figured that i was OK and the other people were deficient.
after a few days of talking to myself i had the following conversation:
"is it me?"
"maybe."
"it probably is me."
"yes, its me."
"i can't believe it."
"believe it."
"OK."
i'm fine now as i told elvis presley last night.

AIRHEAD I OR EMPTY THOUGHTS
DAR GENETICS - MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
let's just say you're related to john smith of jamestown fame. well lets examine your proudness of your lineage. jamestown landing occurred in 1607. lets just say that during the past 400 years there has been conservatively 15 generations. that means john smith genes are approximately 0.5 to the 15th power. for illustration you can see that the first generation has 2 parents. the second generation has 4 grand parents. so the 15th generation has 2**15th parents. meaning that there are 32768 people that have contributed their genes to your personhood. if john smith was one of them then he represents 0.003%. meaning that 99.997% of your genes were contributed by trash. so what are you so proud of?
nevermind.................

IRAQIS WON'T FIGHT
i recall that the ROK (republic of korea army) in 1950 was said to be the best army in the world and they folded like a $2 suitcase. it seems that experts and media don't know anymore than the last bartender they spoke to.
in those days there was a mjlitary draft. two of my acquaintances were killed in action along with over 30000 other young americans.
so much for, "boots on the ground".
