ITS BREAKUP NIGHT

BREAKUP NIGHT
it is said that this night is the most popular night of the year to breakup a relationship. of course it is a bad night to have a relationship breakup. the winter is just beginning, its cold, icy, snowy, and there are few daylight hours for the next couple of months. and yet more couples split or start splitting on this night.
why do i mention this? because it is an important college ritual.
for me it was the start of the end of two college dating relationships i had. one was when my date wound up sitting on my friend raymond's lap and she didn't understand why i was angry. the other was when another date on another new year's eve date was real happy when a married guy with wife present sorta' grabbed her and kissed her. i guess that they were flirting and i didn't need any additional problems in my life. both relationships went down the toilet soon after.
walking home alone (free, free, free at last) on a dump night a week later i felt elated in the very cold, clear january night with brilliant stars in the sky and the exhilarating cold air in my lungs i was really happy to be by myself with not a care in the world.
am i going to wish you a happy new year? no, you may have whatever kind of year you want. you're on your own.

NEW YEARS EVE: WHAT IS IT AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?
fortunately i'll go to sleep tonight around 8 pm. no longer am i obligated to attend mind deadening parties dying slowly in my chair with other married zombies losing IQ points and brain cells and hearing quantities of old wives tales and other misinformation.
haven't figured out what we're supposed to be celebrating on new year's eve: the end of another disastrous year; the beginning of a new disastrous year; that we are still alive for no reason at all; that when we subtract our birth year we are a year older; that your unemployment benefits have run out; that we are with friends who would sell you out for a cold potato.
for young people there are other new years eve events: its a good night for breakups; for a more ...ummm... physical relationship; for a less physical relationship; looking forward to college graduation and the end of your good life.
and my favorite - for the media and financial news for next year; continue making up your own facts; telling lies repeatedly for lesser intellects to believe; distorting events for kickbacks and payoffs.
and for small business: continue not paying collected sales or other taxes; may next year be the end of paying anything for hired help. they should be happy for the rainbow.
lets hope we can accomplish all we desire.

YES - BIG LOSER FOR PREZ.
sure looking forward for trump the loser being president. attacking hillary, bill, christie, new hampshire leader and its publisher is reminiscent of wwii germany attacking the u.s.a,. russia, england and others and then being surprised when they lost only a crazy guy and followers would do it..
actually he's a nyc street kid and should be treated as such.

PET CAT FOUND
they found my grand daughter's cat in a shed behind a house up the street after four days. he apparently hadn't eaten anything. up to now, food has magically appeared in a clean, neat dish. he probably never thought that he should or could find or catch food -- huh?.
where was the food? where is my dish? i know it will show up. it always has. i don't know what's wrong. ooooh, there's a disgusting mouse that just ran by. isn't that bird pretty. where is my food? i don't need them. i can make it on my own even if its a little chilly except i don't know where my food is.

XMAS AND XMAS EVE
tonight (i guess) is the night baby jesus flies up your chimney to heaven. no, i think that's later. for some obscure reason children are showered with gifts tomorrow to celebrate this occasion. their parents who have toiled and sweated all year long to pay for these brats' presents will tell their undeserving spawn that they were delivered by a messenger of god. they will get a lot of masochistic satisfaction as their progeny are contemptuous of the whole event.
tomorrow afternoon will be the big final celebration dinner filled with alcoholic beverages, salty, fatty, and sweet foods. the then fulfilled parents, like salmon at the end of their run, will grab their chests, and fall head first into the dessert.
have a happy parturition, procreation, fertility day.
**********************************************************************************************************
the xmas story seems to revolve around a couple named mary and joseph in bethlehem in territory that has currently been taken over by the palestinians. mary, pregnant from some unknown source (as she told her husband) is about to give birth but no palestinians step forward to be of any assistance. as usual (if they are there at all) they have their hands out but contribute nothing - maybe just trouble.

WHAT I LEARNED WHILE LIVING IN (UGH) NEW JERSEY
the german bund is alive and well in northern new jersey. if you are black, italian, jewish, muslim, et al. stay out of sussex county.
only straight laced people seem to be in northern new jersey until they are tested at the officers' club bar.
if your husband gets a job in nyc and has a cute secretary, he will leave one morning and never come back.
stone walls that weep are miracles of god. the media censors the news of miracles.
officer's wives are drunks.
prayer helps at least 10%. whatever that means.
gossips and the ignorant are just as flawed among engineers, scientists, teachers, and other professionals as among uneducated new arrivals from eastern, western, and southern europe.
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. prefer to leave it.

CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE
i must have slipped into an alternative universe, or my wardrobe sucked me into narnia or did i go through the looking glass. at any rate somehow the phrase corporations are people keeps pounding in my head. this is most bizarre and surreal. i wonder how this could have happened?
corporations are people...corporations are people...corporations are people...
i must have hit my head because this would be ridiculous. concussions and also old age cause delusions.
somehow in this time warp anomaly the supreme court must have had something to do with this and they did. y'know the supreme court is made up of old people and i wonder how reality based they are.
in this realm soylent green is people. i guess i may have gotten into the movie somehow.
sooooo, both corporations and soylent green are people. of course.

HOW THE HELL DID I GET THROUGH COLLEGE
RETRO DON'S POST -- ORIGINAL STUFF FROM DEC. 2013
TERM PAPER
i lay down in bed last night.
realizing that a term paper was due this morning i knew that i needed my computer, paper, and pen to prepare my hand written paper.
pondering this revelation, it occurred to me that i may be dreaming.
if i weren't dreaming what was the worst thing that could happen to an old man if i didn't do the paper?
then a miracle happened i awoke.
FINAL EXAMS
in addition to dreaming of term papers due the next morning i also dream of final exams that i have not prepared for. having gone through life on the wing and a prayer and really not prepared for anything, i have managed to survive. no wonder i have bad dreams about final exams and term papers.
MORE FINAL EXAM NIGHTMARES
final exam at 10 am today.
i don't remember that.
its in contracts.
can't remember the last time i attended class.yes, i remember now - i think.
i should have prepared.
i'm on campus now.
students and staff are walking this way and that. what building, and room is it in?
i'd better go over to the administration building and find out.
yikes, its 9:30 already.
pushing my way through crowds on the hill heading towards the building.
there's a sign on the door.
it says the admnistration building has been moved to the other campus.
i'm on the subway now heading towards the other campus.
no i'm not. this train is going into the borough of queens.
the train is now traveling above ground.
all that can be seen is the shrubbery along the countryside.
i'll get off at the next stop and crossover to the otherside to get back to the city.
at the next stop there is a bus waiting that goes into the bronx over the whitestone bridge.
the bus ia a local and makes many stops.
finally arriving at west farms square.
home at last.
seems that thats where i wanted to be in the first place.
MUST DO COLLEGE. HOW ELSE CAN I SURVIVE ?

THE INNOCENT AND NOT SO SMART INVESTORS
somehow many people today have been brainwashed to believe that you can always make money by buying stock (lol).
i think part of this is due to the belief that people think that the collapsing stock market is a liberal plot.
an army officer i know thinks its a badge of honor to lose money in the stock market like he just failed to wipe out an isis battalion but had to retreat bravely - sure yawn.
they are losing money on what they were told was a sure thing (rising stock prices) but they went broke. must be those liberals. no wonder they're angry.. my grandparents in the 1920s knew it was a gamble. today's young crowd thinks the market is a sure thing. just split the stock ... ummm ... tear it in half and you'll make a lot of money.
in 1941 my grandfather while babysitting me took me up to a place where you could day trade for small amounts. we were there a short time. he told me to watch the old time lighted stock ticker display for X (us steel) while he presumably made his bet. we left later. he must have lost his money. he was always broke.
you don't think investors are stupid or something? or its just something to do?

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR
i'm surprised that anyone remembers this day. a day that will "live in infamy". i guess infamy lasts about five years.
the japs are great and so much fun.
sorry we dropped the bomb. it slipped.
ok -- would you rather have a lot of japs killed or lose your life invading japan. wait --- i'm thinking......
a friend of mine's brother was killed landing on a pacific island weeks before THE BOMB was dropped. i'm sure he had no problem with the above possible choice.

MY FAMILY'S GREAT INHERITANCE
soon after i retired from my govt. DOD job my childless widowed brooklyn uncle died. i was the only person of a large extended family with rights in the united states (yea).
i sorta' ran around getting legal documents and collecting his liquid assets. distributed them to the nine canadian siblings/spouses plus one neice.
my dumbass uncle j---- threatened to get his own lawyer in canada like a canadian lawyer would want to get involved in such a small estate with so many heirs. he like his older son always has to be in the spotlight although probably the dumbest in the family and in spite of being almost blowhard sociopaths. he was highly insulted when told he had no standing in the usa since he was an illegal alien. why do canadians think they're part of the usa? his share was about $10k. my only american and canadian born first cousins do not have any inheritance rights concerning my deceased uncle because their fathers were still alive and canadian citizens.
this was a good activity for me as i had nothing to do and was getting antsy.
only me and one cousin living in brooklyn went to the funeral. i was a bit concerned after paying for the funeral as i had no way of knowing whether i would be reimbursed. not only didn't i expect repayment from all the loving relatives but outside of my cousin no one else showed up. she said there were assets in his estate that would cover costs but i don't recall that she reached for her wallet. even my wife was a little concerned. i assured her everything would be just fine ---- absolutely --- and it was.
its good to be an american.
The stars and the stripes, they are calling,
Three cheers for the Red,
Three cheers for the Red,
Three cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!

GOING CRAZY AT THE HOSPITAL
i have always thought of myself as perfectly rational but last year being sick, and under heavy medication, i suffered from illusions (delusions?). in retrospect it was interesting.
although i now know the illusions did not exist, they were perfectly real and explainable to myself.
1. there was a black web which my visitors walked through and did not notice. i explained it to myself that this was a major hospital where all sorts of strange experiments are probably occurring. i thought the hospital was probably projecting this web only to me.
2. a light fixture was being fed paper and printing a variety of pictures (art works, maps, pornography, architectural drawings, etc.). these pictures were moving across the ceiling. i did not understand why others did not see this. i finally believed that they were not concentrating enough. although my daughter told me later that delusions are not
uncommon in hospitals.
i must mention the night i wanted to teleport myself home although that was mainly a realistic dream. i was sorta' partially awake. in order to actually teleport myself home i really unhooked catheters and tubes and stuff to prepare for my escape finally setting off an alarm to which a nurse responded. thinking that i would be at least sent to prison for this brazen offense i offered the nurse a bribe not to mention this event. she said she had to report it. i was doomed, doomed, doomed.
the next morning i noticed i had not moved an inch. my teleportation efforts had failed. no one knew of my adventure or cared.
moral: STAY AWAY FROM UNNECESSARY MEDICAL CARE.

NEW YORK TIMES TOO SMART FOR ME
just quit the nyt. they're just too fussy for my comments, must be too smart, civilized, sophisticated, intellectual, bleeding heart, whatever.
they might say Abdelhamid Abaaoud was such a nice boy/good to his mother/sense of humor/ always smiling/charitable/kissed babies. he understandably turned radical when someone kicked his dog/didn't tip him at the pizza place/charged him on the subway/metro/cut him off in traffic/women didn't succumb to his charms/failed to get his welfare check/lithium.
when properly explained suicide bombing is totally understandable. what else could he do?
i think all the good muslims will have to redeem their reputation on their own. its not my fault and its not my job. whining doesn't help. just do it.

they might say Abdelhamid Abaaoud was such a nice boy/good to his mother/sense of humor/ always smiling/charitable/kissed babies. he understandably turned radical when someone kicked his dog/didn't tip him at the pizza place/charged him on the subway/metro/cut him off in traffic/women didn't succumb to his charms/failed to get his welfare check/lithium.
when properly explained suicide bombing is totally understandable. what else could he do?
i think all the good muslims will have to redeem their reputation on their own. its not my fault and its not my job. whining doesn't help. just do it.

AMERICAN MUSLIMS -- WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS
yes - we'll always have paris.
i know all american muslims are nice family people but its unavoidable to think "suicide crazy bombers". how can you fix it?????
try joining our armed forces. i dunno? can we trust you??? i dunno.
you look honest. i dunno.
you'll have to figure it out yourself.
we'll always have paris.
i still can't figure out how such a small number of crazy, superstitious, delusional, ignorant people has everyone looking under their beds for suicide bombers and arguing among themselves like "the three stooges" ??????????

MY GODS - YOUR GODS SUCK
just to let the world know that my religious beliefs are the only ones that have any credibility.
i believe in a multiple spirit system which makes perfect sense to me. the main and dominant ones are:
1. DUMDUM - of male persuasion, representing dumb luck and totally out of control, prefers bar hopping, and women for company, is on vacation most the time, and is the main alpha spirit dominating all.
2. LADY LUCK - beautiful and fickle.
3. MURPHY - the murphy of murphy's law. as you know -- anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
there are lesser spirits vying for recognition. too bad, suck it up.

MY NY TIMES COMMENT
i am really surprised that the nyt actually put this in their comment section. not being or even attempting to be a (lol) mensa member and having written this past my usual bedtime i didn't expect this to meet their criteria for comments.
CONCERNING POLITICIAN'S ALLEGATIONS-----
just adding my 2 cents.
in my day we called these scenarios grand mother's tales and the people that told them were gossips.
although (i think) occam's. razor the simplest explanation for some event may be most probable (as you know) is among an infinite number of possible stories. no one can possibly know all the facts leading up to and causing an event.
in my humdrum world i've heard stories that a relative supported his parents. partially true but mostly false. his parents mostly supported him. i don't know all the details.
a friends house was purchased by his grandmother/father's inheritance/plain frugal living/winning the lottery/unscrupulous mortgage co./murdering the previous owner/drug money.
he broke up with his girlfriend because he was a womanizer/she found a better guy/he didn't trust her/she got a great job in L. A./he has a terminal disease/she needs dental work/he joined special forces/she was married to another as was he/it was mutual.
that's my point. we cannot know the truth and we are all subjected to made up stuff.

MY ROSEBUD MOMENT
in the movie citizen kane's last word was, rosebud, which was the name on his sled when he was a kid, presumably his happiest time.
my "rosebud" moment occurred in a dream the other night. although i'm still alive, i dreamed that i received a gift of an apple ii computer with disk drives. i owned an apple i in about 1980. this apparently was my "rosebud". in the dream i was very happy for this gift. i was only about 40 years old when i actually had my apple i. yes, apple i. dreams are not always totally true.
loved that machine. didn't get a new computer for about 10 years. wow i was really out of date.
in those days computers did not try to sell you stuff. now i can't escape the hucksters. i had to return a dell because i couldn't escape salesmen and ads.
in the good old days computers actually could do stuff.

ON CHARITY AND CHARITABLE ACTIONS
nothing like the appreciation you get when you are charitible. the recipients never think you gave enough.
my wife (about 20 years ago) told me that a volunteer was needed to escort a (sorta') refugee family from our new jersey town to another where they could get english lessons. the place was several towns away on the commuter line and a walk of five streets. being frugal i never expected that this would cost me anything. i volunteered because it might be an interesting adventure.
i drove them from where they stayed to the train station and bought tickets expecting to be repaid. they were totally disinterested in the new jersey (ugh) landscape as we rode by,
after we got off the train the family wanted to take a cab on my dime. by this time i was becoming a bit annoyed at them. who the hell do these beggars think they are? for homeless refugees they sure have nerve. i already unexpectedly got stuck with their transportation and train tickets. angered i told them we would walk the five streets.
in my town other people (crazy do-gooders) tried to accommodate them with stuff. they wanted one family's living room set. their son wanted to be a doctor and i had some recent books from some advanced college biology courses i was taking for my amusement. they turned them down presumably because they were a year old.
i waited at the facility until they were finished and brought them home.
on another occasion i brought some stuff to a church in morristown for the down and out and some were presumably homeless. they got a free lunch and some services, if requested. i carried some things for one of the people. that person i realized was healthier and stronger than me (suckerrrrr!).
when leaving one of the people started cursing me. i know that they were not normal but taking abuse is not one of my strong points.
no good deed goes unpunished. i must control my finer instincts.

ON BEING OLD
y'know everyone concentrates on the downside of being old. there's an upside which most ignore.
on the upside:
you get out of doing trivial demeaning activities.
"take out the garbage". "i''m too old and weak".
you can fake stuff
my arm hurts.
never be embarrassed
your pants fell down. who cares.
avoiding visitors
bratty children with colds and other people keep out.
get out of doing anything
sorry, i forgot.
pretend you're deaf
huh?

HILLARY BLOWS THEM AWAY
the republican benghazi committee made total fools of themselves interrogating hillary yesterday in the most ungentlemanly way. they have no shame she was there for about 12 hours taking indiscriminate republican fire. up to yesterday i felt reluctant to go to the polls but repub bad behavior and hillary's clear and honest answers convinced me to vote for her.
the committee convinced me that they beat their wives.
frequent breaks by the men showed that men need 30 minute breaks before they can go again. y'know what i'm sayin'?
she was under oath i believe so her testimony must have been ok.
women are certainly stronger and smarter than men especially republican oafs as demonstrated.

CHARTER SCHOOL BLUES
a class from a local charter school (in ..ugh... nj) would arrive and meet at the local YMCA. they arrive in a rusted out, unsafe appearing vehicle.
the ...ummm... so-called teachers consisted of one seedy looking older man who seemed to mostly to sit and watch the .ummm.. activities and two dried up women who might qualify for wicked witches from OZ or macbeth. none of them appeared to be qualified.
charter schools are profit making sorta' faux educational businesses. much of the time the kids played dodge ball. a game where they try to kill each other with a ball. very educational for future republicans.
it was interesting that the shortest kid, a wise ass tried to insult and demean me. it must be that he never came up against an adult who responded to him for fear of losing their job.
well this should be fun i thought. a few choice remarks about losing his hair and death could ruin his life and could make him sufficiently neurotic to be in need of professional analysis.
i am such a softy. i just called him "shorty" hoping the other nasty kids may pick up on it and make him slightly miserable. i am so nice.
anyway --- in conclusion education is not a business. kill charter schools.

GOEBBELS LIVES.
LIEING ON MSNBC: AYMAN MOHYELDIN
"NBC News reporter Ayman Mohyeldin was corrected on-air yesterday after a live report that implied a Palestinian terrorist who charged at officers brandishing a knife didn’t have a weapon on him."
so called nbc reporter is a propaganda plant for palestinians and muslims. nbc didn't correct him the other day for over a period of an hour until truth was somewhat revealed. he made out that an innocent young palestinian was shot in the back by israeis. the innocent young palestinian broke through a secure checkpoint in a camouflaged shirt wielding a knife in one hand and some other item (not identified yet) in the other and threatened others ran down to a gate for tourists and visitors with these weapons and was shot.
why is this person still employed by nbc when others have been fired for much, much, much less. i see christiane amanpour (cbe) is still around also. get rid of her - another liar.
"MSNBC reporter Ayman Mohyeldin had to be corrected on-air on Wednesday..."
fox news seemed to be the only network who got this story straight.
i watched this story unfold for over an hour. the only thing i was impressed by was the loyalty of jose diaz ballart trying his best to make excuses for this scumbag mohyeldin. does anyone else on msnbc have the cajones to tell it as it is?

SCARIEST FICTIONAL SCENE FOR ME
in the book catch 22 (1961) there is a segment called the man in white. it describes a wounded soldier in a hospital bandaged from head to toe. he presumably receives nutrients via a clear liquid through a tube connected to an I V.
another tube connected to a bag on the floor collects a clear fluid from the man in white. a nurse periodically switches bags.
eventually they take him away presumably dead.
although i read this book over 50 years ago this scene remains with me.
************************************************
having been in the hospital and icu several times last year i can tell you similar stuff like this happens all the time.
never mind.
have a good day. yea, yea, yea.
GO JETS. GO GIANTS.

DEM DEBATE?
deliberately missed the dem. debate yesterday. i'm drowning in political bs.
whatever hillary says just doesn't matter: her day trading of cattle futures and making a lot of money is enough proof of her character.
at least donald trump would probably say he knew some powerful people who can do this.
if i vote it will probably be an against republican vote.

BIG PHARMA BS? MILK BAD FOR YOU?
an article on the internet this morning said that milk from another species is bad for you (cows are not people although corporations are.) and if you're not a baby all milk is bad for you.
as you know all cheese, ice cream, and butter and many cakes, cookies, sauces, etc. are made from milk.
does anyone out there besides big pharma know what they're doing? i doubt it.
we can sell you a pill which can neuter milk for ... ummm .. $1000 a month.
thanks suckerrrrrrrr's.
can republicans really sell you on this crap? i guess so.

OUR MAGNIFICENT ESTATE
my wife's family owned a house in eastern europe over 100 years ago. out of curiosity we visited the town about 20 years ago. the authorities knew of the pre-nazi, pre-communist ownership.
two reasons we didn't press our ... ummm ... rights if we had any were:
who wants a house in eastern europe bastardland and the possible division of a house sale at that time was very little. not worth any effort.
i sorta' did a very rough calculation dividing the number of possible heirs (500?) into my estimated value of the house although appearing well maintained in a sorta' remote east european town and came up with about $20 american.
the people actually living in the house may have claims for their improvement of the property or some other stuff. i wouldn't be surprised if pressing our claim would cost our family a lot. also eastern europeans may want to kill us besides.
never mind. keep it!
.........i know nothing.............

NEW KITCHEN LIGHT FIXTURE
i guess i appear to be a mentally and physically falling apart old man. every one wants to help me. the sales person at the store asked me about putting in the new fixture. i told him i know it is very complicated, "you put the black wire with the black wire, the white wire with the white wire and the ground wire with the ground screw or ground wire". i know this is very tough for phd scientists and engineers but i'm a genius.

SANDERS RUNNNG WELL FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
people think he'll never get his agenda legislated because of republican strength in the congress.
clearly if sanders gets nominated and elected president all the bizarre gerrymandering, supreme court rulings, and all the king's horses and all the king's men will not be able to put the republican congress together again.
i'd be relieved that their twisted, untrue views of reality would be thrown out with the garbage.

MIKADO IS RACIST
ny times 9/18:"Mikado’ Production Canceled Over Racial Concerns"

next thing these liberal intellectual cripples will complain about will be: the godfather, fiddler on the roof, a tree grows in brooklyn, the bible old teatament and new.

9/11 REVISITED
we don't forget. i'm teared up right now thinking lf it.
of another event: being very young when pearl harbor occurred only makes me angry. forgiveness is not in my genetic makeup.
FLIGHT 93
"United Airlines Flight 93 was a domestic scheduled passenger flight that was hijacked by al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001"
yes i listened and grieved for these people and this great country but i also think often of the possible coverup of the downing of another plane twa flight 800 in july 1996 witnessed by many, many people who agree it was shot down. i truly believe we are being lied to in this case.
GOVT. engineers say it was the fuel tank. govt. engineers all respond politically. so strange that the fuel tank had gas fumes. just sayin'. i worked with DOD engineers for 30 years.

THE NEWs??
kim davis, of rowan county, kentucky, a modern day, joan d'arc, apparently willing to be burned at the stake to uphold her beliefs. not a very smart move when your job description conflicts with your beliefs. don't take the job or quit the job.
during the 'nam war my religious leader wanted to hold a special session for people working for DOD because of the plight they cause the vietnamese, no one showed up. perhaps i should have refused to do my job since i would find that it would be very difficult to harm another person.
have you noticed that the refugees that the media claim to have been in squalid, terrible camps for at least a week appear to be so clean and healthy. i look more soiled after eating breakfast.

ON DOING NOTHING
somehow although its a mystery to me doing nothng has gotten a bad reputation among the common people like engineers, salesmen, small business men et al. this particular attribute is my strong point. i've been doing nothing for almost 30 years now, 84 years if you include my government service and youth. when i retired from my DOD job with the incompetants and idiots: management, peers and subordinates. actually i was working hard trying to be invisible and doing nothing at DOD even though my brain broke through my resistance at times and i actually did something for mankind (see: Saturday, August 22, 2015 titled MY BOOK. on this blog).
strangely those doing the least and are most confused seem to be most adamant that they work hard. did ted williams or joe dimaggio or me work hard? absolutely not because we are talented and know what we are doing.
my future plans are to continue on my present path. i don't need fame, fortune, or approval from self proclaimed experts.
other people slow you down, stop you in your tracks, discourage you, or come off the bench and tackle you. even if you want to do something it is difficult to get past the nay sayers and your depressing so called friends. they say they can do anything but upon close scrutiny they are useless.
it is so sad when i meet older people who can't seem to give up the so-called work ethic. they'll do anything to prove their worth. i guess being a DONALD i am born with the talent of being able not to do anything. people should do things for me.
i think i have almost achieved excellence in being useless. each day in every way i am more useless. yea, yea, yea........

EXIT STAGE DOWN
pain and suffering are conditions that i cannot abide. i am not good bearing these conditions. while in the hospital and suffering which i am not good at. i asked the doctor to just kill me. he said, it wasn't on his list of treatment options. i was thinking about a painless and quick exit from this life and i came up with nothing. the robin williams choice seemed too severe even for my unhappy state.
during my second hospital admission after the transplant i was feeling so miserable i thought that was the best time to exit. i was feeling so bad i wouldn't have noticed that all organs had ceased to function.
i am not looking forward to a replay of this type event or worse before the end.
bye. aaarrrgghhhhhh...............
wait! i'm hungry. pass the pizza and beer.

LIGHTWEIGHT JEB'S LAST GASP
is jeb really going to go head to head with the donald? thats definitely a loser, loser, loser for the bush family. going up against a new york city bred wise guy is not a good idea.
this reminds me of the movie, dead end, where the rich kid keeps taking it from the street wise dead end kids.

ASSORTED JUNK AND MYSTERIES OF MY LIFE II
why do they call a stock market crash a correction?
why does a delusional war criminal ex vice-president think he has anything worthwhile to say? shouldn't we resurrect nuremberg trials for him and his peers.
did mrs. L only want to give me milk and cookies in about 1947 when she offered to give me milk and cookies - probably. reminds me of "Occam's razor......... 'law of parsimony') is a problem-solving principle..........The principle states that among competing hypotheses that predict equally well, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove to provide better predictions, but—in the absence of differences in predictive ability—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better......."

ASSORTED JUNK AND MYSTERIES OF MY LIFE
the myth that van gogh cut off his ear for a woman is make believe. he cut his ear while shaving. you can see that he gave up shaving as he grew a beard. i cut myself every time i shave. .......... Van Gogh threatened his friend with a knife before turning it on himself and mutilating his ear lobe. Afterward, he allegedly wrapped up the ear and gave it to a prostitute at a nearby brothel. .......... women!!!!!!
who was the girl who jumped into my lap at marcia's sweet sixteen party in 1946 (? 1947 ?)?
why was einstein's hair so messy? i suspect he wasn't smart enough to find a barber.
i know there are very few who have any interest in my thoughts and comments thats your problem not mine.
i had no choice. i think when i signed up for an unknown reason now to huff. post they signed me onto facebook. i personally don't need a thousand friends or even one. any friends are annoying. i certainly don't need anyone's approval. stay away! beware of the witch/dog/disease/poison/guns/crazy old man. thank you.
