wanna babble

sometimes i just wanna babble and other times i sit down to write something specific and serious and i just go on and on and around and around and without thinking about anything i find myself rambling into babble even more than when i actually wanna babble and if i was to pose the question to myself right now at this moment i would not be certain of the precise answer except for the fact that i am here as opposed to being elsewhere and it could be in part due to the reference to this entry in this blog by a randomly spammed comment that has me thinking about the time i would come here daily to let my mind dump whatever might come to it (mind, that is) as i let the fingers tap the keys directed only by the momentary words that come to and out of the mind as it dumps whatever might come to it (mind, that is, pay attention boy, i say, stop playing with that thing and pay attention), if you don't mind (or even if you do, you chose to come here, after all)...

for those of you not playing with your sweet potato tots, you might find a familiar breeze blowing through your innards (or soul, if you want to go there) as you read and yet, i confess and identify the energy level is way lower than it used to be mostly because the body is at that blah bloat end of the physical spectrum and it is a bit older than it was last time i was rambling on without thought or reason (oh no, not blind faith?... but then, what else is there within one's own mind, logic?) and there are injuries as well distracting the reckless abandon that was once just the way it was so high stepping exercise does not happen nearly as often as it did when i was steam showering daily as the sad news reality is every year i become just a little more normal or average or whatever everybody strives for in this conformist culture but fear not, for the mind still rebels and accepts no phoney baloney for long...

it was years ago, but seems like only last year, or maybe a lifetime, that i left this daily babbling behind (and this one before this one and and this one before that one, among others, even ya know?) for this one now playing that was and still is supposed to be briefer but contains almost as much babble (maybe more if you happen upon them) in more than 4200 entries (yes, forty-two hundred ninety something, if fact) as this or the previous blogs (which would include diaries at diaryland and journals at livejournal and babbling in dozens of other locals as well) because my efforts to be brief, as noble and sincere as they may be, never stopped the babbler from the mini-babble or from breaking babble up into ten or twenty entries a day instead of one very long one (see what i mean?) and the free associative nature of babble still rises above the expressed desire to focus on actual daily life communicating (even though more complaining may be infiltrating the positivity of the landscape, but that is just me finding my way back to me {and my shadow of sorts [hello darkness my old friend?] and the cha cha cha, la la la, dance of the whispering wombats, or something like that} after stepping in the excremental droppings of life with humans as it is today {and parenthetic asides}, after all) whether i was awakened by a strong odor of poop or not...

sometimes, in the middle of the night, the world appears so much clearer and expressing that clarity is the last thing on my mind so everything flows into a stream of consciousness that even i might not be able to comprehend if i found time to re-read myself or if someone actually read something i wrote and asked me to explain specific rambles or passages or some such collections of words and babble and yet, somewhere in my head the answers can be found by the one who really wants to push just the right buttons (and those are a secret, but not negativity or controlling) and just because nobody ever did does not mean that nobody ever will so many of the secrets are linked (and boxed, no less) within the threads that make the tapestry (and dreams too) of the written gardens and the scattered music (that keeps getting left behind, like a heart that floats on the winds of hope and chance) playing (albeit silently at times throughout the journey that is as it is as expressed in the babble that is the momentary tip of the metaphoric iceberg of writing you are reading as you read these words and whenever else you might read wherever else you might go from here, hats on or off, as you wish...

and whether you would like to swing on a star or carry moonbeams home in a jar you are still better off than you are and suddenly, everything might stop

there was a time

yes, remembering that there was a time when i would just sit down and start writing about whatever was momentarily fleeting through my head whether serious emo or intellectual reasoning or random babble out of the blue, it was a comfortable and mind-freeing exercise i practices regularly and then i stopped in a semi-vain attempt to continue (see right sidebar) in my quest to be more human and therein attract other humans so i might share more and feel less lonely (and a look at some of the momentary moods (oh, love that emo, no doubt) and writings appearing tonight might give us a suggestion as to why i stopped by here to open the door for the babbler a bit (yes, a bit, for still the semi-subconscious goal is brevity (and tonight i may have realized how much madness there is in the quest... the quest?... really?... yes, and tears fall every time... do we remember?... oh dear, is this were we began?... or is this the end... shhhh, just continue as long as we can... just keep swimming, so to speak, so to write) as i stumbled into distraction out of the second seriously steaming hot shower since moving into this new space... here, i'll even blockquote and justify it, as if it's something special (narf :)

just in case this night of all the nights of the eternity is the night you chose to text or call, the phone is not by my side, it is in the bedroom (likely lost in commas and parentheses) and might not be heard here in the living room where i currently type these words to you, whomever you may be... so i stopped by the the facebook, i believe it was a tuesday, and the comment < Z P G 4 ever ! from Gonad McGillicuddy lead me to ponder perhaps ... gibran - the wanderer or nietzsche - the wanderer or perhaps not ... alas (and then some - who da man?) ... (or do we dally, la dee da?), but who would be fool enough to argue with the night?...

and here we see what a steamy hot shower might do...


but so distracted so quickly i all but forgot the music that called ever so softly from a distance as i stepped out of the steamy hot waters, too distant to be sung, but the thought as i laid down in near exhaustion was to listen and the mind did not let the body fall asleep so there were were for the last few hours putting words together as they fell out of the heart and mind and ears and here we are now, with med and dia sneaking in front of gavin friday by chance or change in website policy due to greed or economy, whatever the cause, the music reminds me and calls me back...

so in spite of the superficiality of the previous entry babble about whether to use the comment features that blogger offers or not (and the spam continues to pour in, what a world), there is hope for slightly more serious ponderings and ramblings, brief as they may be, as time treks along in this life... there really is no reason i can't devote several hours a day to writing during this period of non-working (as in unemployment... though i am not counted in the unemployment rate statistics because i have not collected any unemployment insurance benefits, which is a statistical folly politicians use to try to get elected {usually by blaming the other guy} but that can {and should, please?} be left for for another discussion)...

yes, there was a time... and maybe more time for that sort of time now... but motivation, is there any?... inspiration?... what?... there seems to be so much stillness in the breeze, so little coming out of the blue and life has so many price tags on it these days... who does anything free with a stranger anymore?...

seems i am drifting... if i return, yay... if not, yay for being here :)

these days, there seems to be lots of narf :P

to captcha or not to captcha

somehow i think we've been here before, but then, we've been everywhere before and that doesn't stop us from returning, even if returning seems to take forever, we will wait for you... la la la... anyway, what we see here is a failure to communicate, the misdirected aim of the spammer... on december 6, 2012, the following comments arrived in the awaiting moderation place here at this blog... i find no reasons to approve them for the individual entries they were left at as they have no connection to those entries (those entries will be linked below after the comments), but i figured this gives me cause to babble here a bit and more if i find more time cuz the babbling within the spam is amusing at times...

thanks though, my penis size is just fine and it works better than i want it to sometimes, especially around nubile fitness and other aspects of perverbia (or is that just a tease?... perverbia is the place where older people go to lust after the young people, especially cheerleaders... or maybe that is heroes... in any case, it is also an attempt at humor... note i did not say peadobia, which is a place with bars and nightly punishments... not my cup of tea, but this blog is not the place for seriousness, so out dang parenthetic asides) ... still, a canadian goose sounds fun if it is with the right goose...

it is a challenging time in TheReal(TM) which is not why i so rarely write here, in fact, having more time on my hands because i am not working (long story for another time) might bring me back here more often, but for now, i have no time to continue this entry because we are running a 5k in daytona tomorrow and need to be on the road by 4:30am and we just got through playing three softball games in a row (i pitched all three though my arm {biceps} was injured at the thanksgiving weekend tournament in ft lauderdale and has not had time to heal cuz we played another tournament last week and anyway, this body really will hurt even with rest but might get hurt more without rest so i am going to attempt to sleep now even though i am more wired than i need to be since the body is seriously needing sleep...

for the informational record, i have been doing a bit more than brevity (understating the babbling going on) and kind of manic uploading of entries that appear to be attracting all sorts of new readers all sorts of new readers over at the (e)thereal blog which is not a waste of time even if you don't visit cuz it is amusing me, recording me, sometimes even soothing me and definitely keeping hope alive as the current daily blog... i also spend more time on facebook than i used to even though sometimes weeks go by without my checking in there and i now have over 70 blogspot blogs and bunches of others that would love to have you visit and even say hello...

but i really must attempt sleep (after haven i suppose), so i will just post it as is and come back another time and continue rambling on wherever about whatever and the spam comments below might provide some amusement then, if not now... i may even find the connective thread to the previous entries and find more entries between then and now and babble more... if nothing else, it leads us back to a bunch of old entries that might provide some clue as to why Anonymous selected those particular entries to spam, unless it was just a random spambot, but that would be much less interesting and exciting, so let's go with the specific reason theory and look for them together, ok?... i'll be back to do just that some other time, feel free to start without me :)


Specifically, what it was that set them off inside bedroom. Naturally, hard to recognize of penis sizegenetics was broached more than once, and these ladies were not shy with their opinions. However, what they said surprised me facts about but it will probably surprise lots of guys. The truth about penis sizegenetics from two women may possibly experienced their share.sizegenetics matters, but bigger is not totally always better. One for the girls pointed out the fact numerous female orgasms in sizegenetics films (where they may be generally having sex with guys who sadly are massively endowed) are very obviously faked. http://sizegenetics-reviewx.tumblr.com/ on new post by Anonymous on 12/7/12

back so soon?

what we have here, is... peter columbo as a cuban or south american revolutionary on an old episode of twilight zone called the mirror at 5am, i mean, i don't mean robert blake in spur of the moment, no eye of the sparrow and all... but is it the anglo-saxon ignorance that portrays hispanic characters as short grubby maniacs with poor posture or over-emotional melodramatic bearded fear-filled superstitious religious caricatures of some not quite as civilized as the white man sub-species like all the other races are portrayed on one level or another... or maybe it's just the bad beards and stand-up acting...

how insulting of me... or was it someone else?...

meanwhile, here in the babble-yard, we laugh at fear and mock paranoia, which means we laugh at most humans and mock many, but don't tell them because i just might get away with amusing them if i can get them to laugh at their delusions and those who are offended, well, we can just get straight-up vulgar and rely on the old faithful fuck 'em if they can't take a joke...

ah, there's nothing like the old standards, ya know?...

and what happens now is the last few or random entries from other places including the daily blog that is mostly supposed to be brief synopsises or rather synopses of the actual events experience in daily life in the physical world in real time (called (e)thereal, get it?) and you just might learn a little something about the babbler like did you know chocolate trinity by publix is my favorite commercial brand ice cream, maybe ever... it's all sweet, all chocolate, all delicious, yet still has four different chocolate flavours and if you know anything about chocolate you know it isn't easy to put four different chocolate flavours in the same dish and not have some taste conflicts...

on the other hand, i remember why i do not eat fast food for the first time in years (or maybe i was too lazy to wait for italian food or subs), but anyway, i think i was in the mood for a bacon cheeseburger and stopped by burger king and wendys and got a bacon cheeseburger at the first and a baconator junior at the second and thought i was getting one burger patty but got two and we wonder why american obesity is out of control?... the worst part is they both sucked... they were too dry and skimped on the bacon, i mean, i do not expect the fast food to look like the airbrushed commercials, but i do expect the juiciness to like up to the hype and oh yeah, the bacon to be present... and cheese, cheeseburgers should have cheese too... i understand the skimping, it's corporate american greed, after all, wave the flag - but each fast food restaurant has the equipment to serve tasty juicy burgers and why they have my dried out package waiting for me before i even drive around from the ordering speaker box is ridiculous... especially when they are not busy, but anytime... i wonder which came first, the customer who put speed ahead of taste or the company that puts speed ahead of quality...

am i ranting?... well, it's time for dessert, so heaven is right there in the freezer... next entry will probably be a bit more fun :)

and the next entry started off with a rainbow, but we'll skip it and go to the next entry after that and cuz it relates back like this...


just in case you missed the relatively mediocre rainbow photos (speaking strickly from a technical critical photo standpoint, i mean, no offense to the rainbow, it was pretty magnificent in the physical viewing, aka real world, but then, isn't that appro?)... ... i wonder, could appro be mistaken for a professional application or an application professional?... well, just in case, i mean appropriate... or apropos, which pretty much means the same in in french or something... anyway, hope you enjoy the photo... i would share the photos of the unicorns, but they wouldn't sign the release and i don't want a legal battle while i'm not working because lawyers are expensive, ok?...

meanwhile, on the taste bud front, do you have some sort of cream cheese seafood dip in your area that is absolutely irresistible if you love cream cheese and seafood but decadent as cream cheese and the several dozen other ingredients can be?...

seriously dude, look...


creepy, ya know?... but it tastes so dang good... it's a conspiracy, must be...

hope you are having fun too :)

no seriously, dude?... it was the south park influence, i promise... and when turn on the reactor becomes a laugh riot it must be past getting close to dawn and we've been up all night watching south park... but actually i just caught one episode in between other shows like futurama and flashpoint (figures canadian shows and shows about toronto are becoming popular... and soon i'll be watching for an old friend's kid on tv too rookie blue on abc, august 23rd at 10pm... and she's gonna be in a new show, cracked later this year or next year... as if that connection is not enough, it's a show so closely related to the my career that it's like the universe toying with my emptions or something, but that's another story for nyuk nyuk another time)...

or perhaps it is the most attention seeking dog in the world, the wonderful happiness who's favorite thing to do is sleep, followed closely by staring at me with eyes that say please given me food, attention, and/or a walk outside all the time... as wonderful as the loving old puppy is, he is awfully distracting when trying to focus on work or babble, even... but in spite of the power of happiness and incessant drone of the late night tv (which i thankfully turned off in favor of music and i wish i had a music player that made it easy to share a playlist, but i don't know of one at the moment - feel free to share if you do)... perhaps the wonder of technology can save us if we use it wisely...

for now, i think the babbler wants to wake up or something, i mean, dude, seriously, start the reactor, aye?...



ok, ok, i'm off to take a walk with happiness... back soon, probably :)

whatchu say?...

omg that was before i read the letter from the friend who said my babbling, or at least the concepts i shared for a socio-political semi-sci-fi thriller was on par with stephen king, who is a genius in street clothes (and should be more careful walking back roads) and she knows as well as anybody that flattery will make my head explode, you know... did this just kind of start in midstream?... well, read on and perhaps we'll catch up... if not, you know how to ask questions, dontcha?... you just put your lips together and whistle... or type some words in the comment box... either way, you'll pucker...

so the good mood rises (perhaps it's the wish thing.wish thing.. or even largely due to chemical additives (i wish thc was legal, i mean chocolate and sugar and meat and cheese and caffeine... it's the chocolate sugar and caffeine most, i think) and also a few re-connections (mostly meaningless, but the child still can enjoy the momentary thrill of attention and hope for more and... not like billy mumy in it's a good life (as opposed to it's a wonderful life i suppose, which isn't a twilight zone episode which play on people's fears like most everything but oh what a wonderful world this would be if love was empowered more than fear...

did i mention that recently i linked a lot of people who used to be part of the ever-loving blog family and extended such (see the previous entry, i think) and a couple returned to say hi and i just wrote this to one of the blog returnees:

oh sure, you show up when i am babbling poorly (by my standards, and you know what matters) and calling myself out on it (didn't even do that too cleverly) and so unfocused i don't even get silliness right... this abstaining from chocolate and caffeine and sugar is not good for the babbler (who woulda thunk?)... time to inject my soul with some sweet jelly rolls and some creamy chocolate too...

so how the heck are ya? :)


but ok, the truth is i am not doing the jelly rolls... i'd rather have ice cream instead... but anyway, another old friend comes along and reminds me that i used to share everything in corresponded on paper when i wrote in letters so she would be able to find stuff easier than clicking on links cuz i know time is precious and i write in too many places for anyone to find the time to them all on your own (they are linked in that link blog, but... dummy i am)... next project, that... the everything letter blog... it was so much easier when it was just pulling files off the computer... moving everything to my own domain is one solution... stop before my head spins off... ok...

talking to myself and feeling... wait, it's a rainy friday, not a rainy monday... i wonder how many song lyric references you get... don't all raise your hangs and shout out at once, i mean, unless you want to...

excuse me while i take another spoon of ice cream and then put it back in the freezer :)

i was recording and ranting and remembering and whatever in background tv in case you want to know what shows i watch - they are listed at the top right of that page (background tv, not here) and if you don't go there, well, i'll list the top few (alphabetically) right now: Alphas, Eureka, Fringe, Haven, NCIS, Warehouse 13 and if i can find the time Being Human, Bones, Caprica, Castle, Lie To Me, Lost Girl, Sanctuary, Star Trek: Enterprise, Stargate: Universe, The Late Late Show (Craig Ferguson), The Mentalist (some of these are not all still on the air at the moment and there are others i left out, but that's why the background tv blog is there, after all)...

and what brought that up (tv) was an old toronto friend and occasional lover told me her little girl was getting serious and sucessful in her acting career and i have to look for cracked and rookie blue (tv shows, in case you what as little tv as i do)... i've heard of the latter, i think it's on a network here... and so i looked it up, abc... and then i told my phone to remind me on wednesday 8-22 to watch rookie blue at 10pm on thursday 8-23 cuz the kid on the show is her little girl... and when i searched for cracked i turned up this this, but i've got the feeling further searching was necessary so i did and found a scottish tv show and a canadian tv show named cracked and i shall assume it's the canadian show cuz the girl and her mom live in toronto (slowly i turn, wait, that's niagara falls... same difference, aye?)... and IMDB says Jason Spevack, Dayo Ade, Steve Bacic, David Sutcliff and Stefanie von Pfetten... yeah, this is it and this too but there is no mention of when it airs or if it will air in the us... apparently they sill have to create the pilot and pitch the show to cbs... hopefully it will be viewable in the usa when it's finally produced... my friend's little girl starts filming it next week, i think... exciting, aye?... ironically, i could be an expert consultant on the show since it sounds like that is what i did for the last 11 years (the hospital part after police brought people to the hospital but i worked with police too)... so i'll just sigh and dream some more... maybe i should wish some more too... or open my mind...

where were we?... my eternal hope is that somebody finds the words and reads and reacts/responds eventually, the sooner the better, but i understand the delays and even the missed words cuz there are so many in so many places and so little time... someday my princess will come (having enough time and will and desire to share everything with me and know how to play), ya know :)

the optimist is singing loudly tonight... hope the neighbors don't mind :)

not enough time?

that is such a weird thought which is why it becomes a question (referring to the title, in case you are already a little lost... if you are not already a little lost, no worries, it happens here most of the time... if you don't want to be a little lost, you may have to actually ask questions for directions as to the meaning and meanderings of thought streams that flow in this blog, but be that as it may be or not to be, welcome back my friends {and potential friends} to the show that never ends {referring to the mostly cosmic trail of babbling as someday my own personal recording of my tap into it will likely end as immortality is not highest on my list of wished, but that's beside the point that is beside the point that was the point before this parenthetic aside became the beside, or something like that} step inside and stay a while, why dontcha {i am listening to the playlist [music] linked at the top of this page and i hope you can listen too maybe this will work if the other does not, though it saddens me to see how many of the songs are no longer available for play, which leads me to the sadder reality that so many links in past entries and articles and pages all over the web that had value and still could have value are gone cuz servers shut down or people just don't seem to see the value in themselves or anything, i mean, yes we are temporary, but we don't have to discard nearly as much as we do... maybe it's the limits of memory in the current development of the brain, which reminds me of how much i love neuropsychology and the like, but we may be riding a horse of a diferent flavor now so back out of this multiplex parenthetic aside, aye?} cuz it helps me remember some of my favorite thoughts and dreams and ideals, even, and gives birth to new babbling streams that further distract and enhance {yes, they are not mutually exclusive if you let go and trust the flow, cosmic or not} cuz i love it when you do {listen?... step inside?... stay a while?... get a little lost?... ask for directions?... as i said [wrote, actually] welcome back} the wonders or monotony [depending on your perspective] of the entry you have just entered), cuz i am actually vacationing these days with no specific plans or schedule or time-sensitive responsibilities (except for happiness, who will walk with me now... brb... ok, back with even more on my mind {check diet, cost of moist food and tests for happiness}... happiness is my best friend {and roommate's} dog's blog name, in case you wondered) so why in the world would there be not enough time?... real time?... long ago wondering is still there ya know? (even other older entries (including myspace where sadly the myspace server seems to have erased most of the comments i left that were longer than a few lines... and they wonder why they lost respect from those who wanted to share more than music and superficiality... meanwhile, facebook is heading in that direction and i am happy i never got into blogging there and have we lost our way?... joey, help me out here)... how ya doin?...

what?...

something is missing here... it may appear at some latter time, which will be now, then... it seems even i can get hoodwinked by my parenthetic asides within parenthetic asides (and so on)... i believe i was referring to the title and pondering how is it possible that there is not enough time (if i remembered where they were, i've have linked to my petition to the universe for a 42 hour day... it is really a lot more challenging to search a blog at blogspot than it was at diaryland because there is no single list of all entries like there is at diaryland... guess blogger depends more on the writer never missing an appropriate tag... i often don't even think about tags after babbling (and in other blogs, and swinging through so quickly there is no time for tags)... anyway, i have more time than i've had in a long time as i am not working at the moment... the change had to happen, the dysfunction and piling on of work was simply getting more ridiculous and demanding more of my time with every passing year, so i left and now, am taking my time before looking for another job... the initial panic is wearing off (you can read the whining and insecurity at the daily blog and other offshoots cropping up faster than pimples before a big date) and the relaxation and enjoyment has begun, though more laziness than is healthy so increasing exercise is becoming a necessity (and as the foot is almost ready for light jogging and light softball practice, it is time to step it up, literally... did i mention that some time back in april i ruptured ligaments and chipped the base of my tibia?... yeah, a boot and crutches for two months and just started light brief jogging in the past week or two... drove me batty trying to get around work and home and when the ceo did what he usually does, which is hit people while they are down or weak, i finally decided it was time to stop being loyal to the organization and find another gig that would be a little less abusive, maybe even a healthy place... anyway, with the inactivity and the lack of daily work responsibility, it leaves more time than i've had in more than ten years... just took the last month or so to decompress {aka vege out} and now, i might even babble a bit)...

i have been writing fairly regularly, though beaten down by the rat race, in the (e)thereal (the daily blog that was intended to be a brief daily blog, which is what this was intended to be after behind the candoor became a babble-fest, but then this became a babblefest too, in case you didn't notice... like someone might have time to read years of babbling, like ten years of babbling?... right, not enough time, are we laughing?... someday my princess will come and love to read it all and tell me all about it, until then, there are these delusions and fantasies and the distracting art of babble, you know, the mindless nonsense you've come to love)... and in a week or few i might even regain consciousness and find the brilliance of free-associating mind-blowing babble returning to the fingertips tapping the keys to bring words to the screen...

until then, there is this:

ok, where were we?... ah, i was inspired to come wandering through this blog by a comment to a previous entry and only semi-randomly selected the previous links to provide us with fodder for discussion or samplings of the past for perusal or any reason at all when happiness asked for a walk and then he inspired me to given him some love and added research attention (diet, foods, tests) cuz he dripped some blood at the end of his pee (his history of kidney crystals and stones may be acting up as he approaches his 14th year) and then other things distracted me, as other things do, and i followed some wishing instructions and then ate a banana and drank some grapefruit juice (breakfast in the afternoon) and cleaned the bathroom a bit after using it and what other details would you like? (if you have not been laughing along with me yet, you need a refresher in my odd sense of humor... feel free to ask or read or study, there will be no test unless you want one... anyway, here is the first reaction to the comment that brought me back to start an entry here, just so i can repeat myself a few more times...

so i checked email for the first time in days and i checked the comments folder where notifications of comments left on my blogs are sorted which i check even less often and i found a comment was left a few days ago on my last daily blog and that lead me to play my playlist (music) and i am not sure that link will work for you as i had to log in to the site to listen to my own playlist which makes no sense since i'd like anybody to listen and comment on the playlist but anyway, i wanted to know who commented (as i usually do, attention hound that i can be) and visited her profile and found five blogs so i visited this one first and it lead me to this interesting site which i think could be defined as a meme and i might have seen it in email before but that's all i am supposed to say about it (which really shortened this entry) and then i visited my visitor's other pages in this order (wondering how long those blogs have been there and whether they will be used eventually) and finally found this one and i read it and commented cuz, after all, comments inspire smiles mostly and i am appreciative for the comment left here that inspired my smile so i hope my comment there inspired a smile there too and that is what i did in the past couple of hours...

hope your day is smiling too :)


so that's sort of where we were, except for the tangential parenthetic asides in the first paragraph (which should probably be several paragraphs, but let's not let the parenthetic asides start up again too soon, aye?), or the other paragraphs, some of which (or whom) are still spinning out of control in some alternative universes (and maybe this one too, if you are perceptive enough), and moving forward i am reading this old thing written by a psuedonamed the last psychiatrist which was quoted in my comments once upin a time (oh, how i miss my blog family, let me count the ways 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 q 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 awesome (i shall stop suddenly now, kind of like a craig ferguson awkward pause, perhaps, as i will leave out many anyway and it is a perfect time to show off my imperfections and lack of infinite time to find all the links and be sad cuz so many don't work, wah wah, narf... or else i will add additional links to the other coolest people in the world and blog family as i find them as if they were here all along... or something like that), but then, as families often do, they too disappeared in disputes and discontinued dialogues and any amount of alliteration, aligned or not, can return us to those innocent days of yore, speaking of yore, how are yore? (what us that, you've got mail or something?)...

and some i don't know at all... hey... you talking to following me?...

and time time time is running out on daylight and sitting here too many hours is quite physically a pain in the neck, so i shall post this now and perhaps return for more later or perhaps post another at another time for an actual catch-up entry as opposed to a trip through links and memories with clever teasing and intelligent wit, even... i may have to apologize for misplacing my ego and sense of humor after this one... still unpredictable, still here somehow...

may life be spectacular today just for you :)

what could have been

yes, hmmmmm, it's just this... it seems some of the closest people just don't get it... the whole blogging thing, especially the whole babbling blogging thing, even more especially the daily journal diary blogging thing from the very beginning going back more than a decade now... it started with and is all about keeping in touch, yes, kit you fools, kit is where it began and kit is where it remains... no matter what else comes or came or ejaculated since, the beginning, that is, whatever this or that or the other thing might be, the bottom line redundantly repeats itself like an invisible thread screaming out in the wilderness...

kit...

so it goes, (and so it goes), and sometimes the oldest dearest friends want letters and do not realize this all started out as letters to them, who remembers letters to friends? (one more deleted website of the dozens of deleted websites that told the story of a life and so many other secrets in rhyme and reason and nonsense once out here on the web for anyone to find), alas, the past passed but was once published and even now, somewhere in the wilds just north of lewiston, new york, remains recorded for as long as paper and ink might last for posterity and anyone who cares... you remember caring, dontcha?... really caring?...

and occasionally, the memory of the reasons and rhymes (photographs and memories), or vice versa, bring me to mist up and rarely these days, the babbler finds time to dive in the deep end and pull out a plum, or something like that... so what news do we bring from the depths beyond darkness where only those who see can find their way to whatever it all means and only those with the guts (and time) can reach out and touch someone even better than an old commercial for an old technology that makes old such a relative term in the grand scheme of the human experience, but that's besides the point, whatever it might be...

are we evolving yet?...

yeah, right... the poing is (don't make me pull another smiley face on you), the point too, actually, is, that is... i mean, the point is you are being written to, letter, that is, to you, pay attention girl, dang girl is as dense as a london fog trench coat before road island red put it on to pretend he was sherlock holmes, aside aside, letters, communication, correspondence, girl, it's correspondence (not the school, fool, but the communication through the written word like pen pals and famous writers and ordinary people who just happen to be literate and actually enjoy it do), it’s the letters, arts and letters, letter-writing, go to mail, go straight to the mailbox and do pass go go go straight to the mail...

yeah, so the internet came along precisely when i lost your addresses due to a misguided love affair (it's still the same old story) and i started the hopelessly hopeful quest (glorious, no doubt) to kit, not kiss, though i am not opposed to the lipping, but kit, as in to keep in touch with all of you and especially those who's addresses i lost and most especially the family i lost in the 1997 border wars (not to be confused with the 1967 war, or when i was small and christmas trees were tall) and they may never have actually known even now as some touching happens daily and yet, i've grown accustomed to the pretense of ignorance and selfishness of insecure ego that does not want to accept the public posting of letters is even more profoundly dedicated (consistent, pretty much) proof of being true than any private internet letter cuz the fact is that the snail mail letters ended only because i do not have an address to send a one-on-one personal letter to, would you just acknowledge it already (whatever it is, aye?)...

if that last paragraph lost you along the way, no worries, it was not meant to be any more generally understandable or deliberately obscure as any babbling ever was and you never know when a huge sink hole might open up and swallow your backyard or whole house, for that matter, so pay no attention to the man behind the curtain and follow the yellow brick road cuz there's no place like home times three to infinity and beyond the green door where you still remember dreaming, tink will find a way... some may get it, some may not, either way, it means a lot...

might as well be line dancing...

like, what-evah... the human mind, in its current state, seems incapable of even imagining the true awareness of everything that is possible in this universe and whether any living being can communicate with another who comes anywhere near imagining the experience (of true awareness of everything) has not effectively made contact yet, at least not to my awareness (ah, is that the rub? nyuk nyuk) but there's always hope (even as i allow background tv to distract me and therein fray the threads of consciousness that might be weaving their way through this babble, alas, as the lack of response occasionally bores and allows for the dilution and reduction and slip sliding away of asides like never before, or at least not too often, or something like that), i hope...

what, are you afraid of sex?...

you could have a gymnast's body if you really wanted to, well, you could be a gymnast's body, not actually have one unless one gave herself (or himself) to you... ah, but the libido sleeps deep (or deeply) in spite of the occasional reminder flashing on the screen or, ever so rarely, in the physical life, so don't be sad, cuz two out of three isn't as unpleasant as one out of three, after all... and don't be ridiculouso, the child's fantasy grows without much change, to each his (or her) own, and the world will destroy what it does not understand, for fear dominates the human mind, in its current state...

and what could have been was not, so the spilled (or spilt, if you are from the great white north) milk might be mixed with tears or frets and if you don't learn to see rainbows and play music (through the tears and on the frets, what?... are you missing the points within the song?), but you have the choice to half-empty or half-full your perspective and when you decide, you will live your life that way unless you decide to change your perspective... relativity, ya know?... for me, what could have been smiles from sad and sweet memory and passion for life and love lives on in the hopes and dreams and daily touch of shared experienced, through words, music, and shared activities...

online, offline, different yet both potentially powerful and as real as we want to make it... right from the start... and is it irony that some who claim to want closeness most avoid it while begging for it as if it is being withheld... and some just disappeared into the darkness of out of touch or at least lurker-ville... some do other things, for there are infinite ways to leave your love, not just fifty... and i know, depression seems like such a comfortably common refuge from the real world of death and destruction, loss and insensitivity, reckless promises and careless lies...

but it's such a waste...

not all poisons are physical, after all...

choose your poison as you will, i shall choose laughter (do you remember laughter?) whether i am on a stairway to heaven or a road to eternity or a slow boat to oblivion or going nowhere, you are still welcome to come with me, you know, that's alright with me... unless your poison is self-harming or harming those around you, in which case, i'd really rather prefer you keep it to yourself... i mean, i love you, i just don't want harm around me... take your time, learn the harmless way, and then you will understand what i mean and appreciate my request...

and my caution...

once upon a time there was a lemon tree with fruit that longed for sweetness for the foolish lemon tree did not know enough to teach it's fruit that common knowledge and the way it has always has been is not necessarily the way it really is and the fruit never knew how sweet it truly was just because it based it's self-image on the world around it and those in it, rather than on the true nature of itself... get to know the true nature of yourself before you try to share yourself, or you will only share your reflection in the pool of history and popular opinion... the world was never really flat, you know, and the sky really is not blue, but don't take my word for it, look inside and you will find, if you really open your eyes and trust yourself, all the answers you ever needed have been there all along...

fruit (even beavus and butthead can laugh without knowing why)...

enjoying the gusto of life is not a great secret unless you do not know how and then, sadly, you missed the opportunity by your own volition, your choice to empower fear over love, insecurity over reality, blindness over experience, rhetoric over communication, la dee over da…

meanwhile, back in the mind of the babbler, the hope dreams of promises kept and eternal love remains sweet and tasty and fresh as the day it was born, which brings us to the pudding, or proof within, that anyone can see if they want to so you just have to ask yourself, do you want to?... well, do ya, punk?... ah, punks, now there is a sweet olfactory memory… almost as sweet as getting high, you remember high, dontcha?...

anybody reading some of the babbling i do now and then, or all the time, even, might suppose i am in artificially induced (and flavored) consciousnesses or under the influence of aliens, but i assure you there is nothing artificial or alien about my influences over or under my consciousness… there is more awareness than words can convey and more sensitivity than a body can stand, there is more or less amazement swimming the dark brown eyes, and fun in every molecule (built in, aren’t genetics wonderful?)… but there will not be any name dropping of famous lineage here tonight for the simple joy of being me is all i need to find the passions and pleasures of life every moment even if no one knows or is around to share…

yeah, wonderful… if you understand, the laughter is shared... you can be and feel and know and share wonderful too if you want, you just have to want to enough… it’s all inside, remember?... so you want a letter just for you, well, send a letter just for me, or respond to me and you will see, a letter written just for you, not necessarily in rhyme or haiku… well, the best of intentions, at least… i have not had daily time for the kind of writing i love to do in quite some time… as the inevitable subtle as a brick coyness of perhaps you’ve noticed? points out, the pudding, so to speak, is all around us, all around this blog and those other babbling places i once inhabited much more often than i do now… but the gymnast’s body, err, i mean the right person (doesn’t even have to be the one, i think, just might draw me into a conversation, communication, correspondence, renewed love affair with sharing the written word…

it helps if you think i’m some sort of clever genius…

oh, but who gets all the nuances, references, and laughter in all the asides… or even some of them… enough to want more… can it be any less than an addiction?...

of course not…

so if you get it, even a little, then… until next time… celebrate :)

part two of something, i think

you may recall somewhere near the pause (cuz there are no ends in babble, really, and just one end in life, ya know?... but that's besides the point {already?} and oh shutup peanut gallery lol lam) i wrote something like there were so many things on my mind when i first came here and one of the things i was referring to was this...

so i turn around and see a crowd gathering and ask why are you following me? and laugh as i hear dory singing in the background (there is always background music in my head, how about yours?) and it's not that i am down, i am just juggling more balls than is wise and at the moment a very inconvenient cold bug has set my immune system off and the sniffles are annoying and the body really needs to de-stress and rest (so what am i doing awake at this hour {nearing 2am here} when i was awake last night past 6am playing ncaa football and was at my desk at work at 8am {ish} today?... like i am going to take questions like that seriously, right lol lam gonna be lots of lol lam it seems, aye?)...

you know what lol means, if you don't know what lam means, just ask... or lay, for that matter... (shhhh, don't fret, you don't have to actually acknowledge you are out there reading by leaving a comment, i'll tell ya... lam is laugh at myself or laughing at myself and lay is laugh or laughing at yourself, ok?... so lay and lam and laa {laughing at all, which is more fun than lae [laughing at everything] cuz everything is not always all [oh, getting metaphysical philosphy on us, are we?] and besides, laa leads to la la la which is singing and skipping off to play along many paths simultaneously and if i go any further we'll be multitracking and that is not resting, sheesh, and all that jazz)... it's very healthy, so do it and don't mind the head spinning...

the following me reference leads to the discovery that the blogger dashboard tells me there are now sixteen people (even though only fourteen show up when i click on the link... blogger glitches are puzzling or two people are missing in action {or hiding?... s'ok, you are welcome here} and that is a little sad like all missed connections for me) following this blog (and yeah, that amazes me)... i wonder if that changes anything i do here... omigish, self-consciousness? (insert some psychobabble)... we change everything just by observing, right? (insert some philosophy of physics)... i am thirsty and too lazy to get up and get something to drink, but that's besides the point too, isn't it?...

i suppose not (which has many references that will be left for another time as i was not intended to be here tonight and have sleep to get to {right, who am i kidding?... surely the cold bugs are laughing at me now... and drooling a little... runny nose, cold bugs drooling, get it?... oh never mind} and ncaa football is calling and i am thirsty, dangit {must be all those herbal medicines i took an hour or so ago when i woke from my four hour nap} and where did this parentheses start, anyway?... i mean, in case it matters)...

something just flashed through my head and left before the words formed... love and hate those moments... probably the difference between genius and everybody else is the geniuses actually form words out of those flashes... yeah, there's something to consider next time you feel a flash coming on... and i don't mean menopause or running around naked or suddenly dropping your trenchcoat and dancing with a bunch of strangers in a public place, either... i used to be a genius, then i started experimenting with drugs... actually, for the mass audience, i used to be a genius, but then i started drinking and that straightened me out... or was that for the blue collar comedy tour audience... anyway, they have their own writers, i will just keep swimming...

drinking, seems to be a theme here... ok, i am going to pick the laptop off my lap, set it aside, and fill a water bottle (which means moving some dishes out of the sink cuz they are soaking there and if i am too lazy to get up and get a drink i am surely too lazy to do dishes tonight... hey, at least there are no dishes from last year laying around... i think... i am definitely laughing at myself a little too much for my own good at the moment... maybe i am delirious... anybody got a thermometer?... oral, preferably...

no really, i had no intention of babbling tonight… i let this body fall asleep around eight thirty and wouldn’t you know, the four hour cycle was up and sure enough the sniffles woke me so i went to the bathroom and started searching for Echinacea and vitamins and garlic and all sorts of home remedies and that lead me to find t shirts and other stuff (cuz half my world is still in boxes cuz there’s not enough space {or is that not enough time… ummm, laziness?... perhaps all of the above} to unpack it all) and that got me all excited and then i had to go potty and took the laptop (cuz some days that’s the only time left for writing, even if that is tmi) and found a post in a private blog an old soulmate and i still share and started responding and out came the babbler and an hour (or is it two?) later, here we are…

wherever this may be...

water, yes, drink, brb…

brb may be the most famous of all famous last words… and they aren’t even words, i know (anagram haters lol)… especially for the add babbling fool, brb so often means hours or days pass before i return cuz there are just so many cool distractions to be found when i step away from the keyboard for just a moment to get a drink or do whatever… it was just a few minutes this time, which may be even more amazing than the other amazing things i never got back to in the last entry (or this one, for that matter)…

i was too lazy to make water, so i drank more grapefruit juice… and then i thought about it and decided, in spite of wondering just how so many dishes piled up in the short times since jackson was down here and i had the kitchen and apartment almost clean, i filled a bottle of smart water… that is, i filled an empty smart water bottle with filtered tap water… yes, the filter is on the tap… a little less poison, as if it matters (it does, i believe it, so i do it, especially since i drink gallons of water a day, but that’s besides the point and way too serious for this moment, really, as i was just trying to babble myself to sleep)… i like using smart water bottles cuz semantically (and practically, i suppose, but who likes practical?) it amuses me to realize that i might have bought smart water once upon a time but i am actually drinking smarter water now cuz it’s free… smart phones and smart water, all part of the continuing saga of the dumbing down of our civilization… go ahead, smart water aficionados, sell me on the benefits of your product… if i want electrolytes i’ll stick a paper clip into a wall outlet…

wow, that was quite neaderthal of me, wasn’t it?... blame it on the cold bugs, they’ve been around since before the stone age, after all… oh, and no offence to the commercial neaderthal guy, i mean, he has a hard enough time competing with a gecko, this little piggy, and not to mention being abused by his friend brian, he doesn’t need more grief… ever think about how many switches you switch on and off any given day?... i mean, any one of those switched, light switches, car ignitions, computers, tvs, radios, on and on and on, any one of those switches could short out and blow up the world by setting off a chain reaction through the wires all the way to every nuclear power plant and… ok, so maybe not the world, how about you?... you don’t want to blow up, do you?... ummmmm, ok, so maybe just a little shock, but still, so many times a day you could be shocked, just something to think about…

so many things to think about, no wonder we have billions of brain cells… mine apparently all work independently from each other, but that's beside the point, or is it?...

ever notice how some thoughts just seem to hang there?...

so, my wise and wonderful bevy of followers and lurkers and readers, silent or not, how are you on this brisk 40 degree night?... it was 35 degrees last night… did i mention recently that i live in florida for the tropical heat? (that’s right, orlando, florida, home of the mouse that supposedly innocent fantasy and your support of corporate greed built and many other imaginary escapes, including the latest, pottermore, and yes i put my contact info right out there {see side bar} cuz it’s a small world, after all, but we were talking about the weather, weren’t we?)... s’ok, i love the ever so brief two week winter we get here… it reminds me why i moved down from the great white north :)

so seriously though, how are you?...

yes, i do want to know… and thank you for telling me (in advance if you haven’t already, and in the now if you have cuz you know i am terrible at checking email, but i do usually respond to texts and comments pretty promptly, as in not during board meetings or games or when i am otherwise occupied {occupied… are you occupied yet?... we all should be and hopefully will be sooner or later, though not like invasion of the body snatchers, i mean, i hope, but that’s another long and serious winding road for another time], but pretty promptly… i forgot i had a twitter account for a few weeks, actually… and stopped checking in at facebook regularly… but i do almost always have my phone so texts {and calls, i mean, remember actually talking on the phone?} do get my almost immediate attention if you want to communicate)…

i was thanking you, wasn’t?... no really, i was… dang parentheses can be so distracting, ya know?... i love them though, as any good babbler should… not that i am claiming to be a good babbler, even bad babblers love parentheses... even more, no doubt… i really am happy to imagine you are actually reading even if i (modestly, of course) ponder what worth any of these random thoughts might have in your world… you do have a world, you know, and i have no plans on invading it, in case you wondered, but i welcome you to share a bit now and then… see, it’s not just ego strokes and tell me why you love me i am asking for (and of course i would not want nude photos, right?... ah, wouldn’t want to stay serious for more than a few lines, now would we?), i am (in spite of my teasing) genuinely interested in why you are here (reading and in this world, which are probably two very different reasons cuz if you are in this world just to read me, well, where have you been all my life and why aren’t we married with kids or on tv or something like that… i suppose trying to be serious is a losing cause tonight… shoulda known with all the lols and lams and laas that started this babble... not to mention the cold bug) and who you are…

and with that request for your dirty laundry (i so did not ask what you were wearing the last time you had a wet dream or nightgasm or whatever, no i did not… i think i may do this just to see if anyone is actually reading… or is it to weed out the old farts with small minds and limited senses of humor {did my followers list just shrink? lol… oh dear, now you may see why i am amazed i even have one follower} which is altogether possible… what can i say, i love monty python, benny hill, robin williams, steve martin, matt groening {though i think he spelled his name wrong}, seth macfarlane, trey parker and matt stone {they just have to be listed as a couple i suppose, and the writers of the animaniacs, of course), groucho marx, and the most irreverent intelligent test your wits and more, test your tolerance humor most of all… did i mention lenny bruce and george carlin?... hey, and you thought harry chapin was my only personal hero?... how little you really know me, aye?... have you found the perversions blog yet?... and now for something completely different lol lam laa :)

hey, if nothing else at least i can amuse myself… that’s a good thing in this crazy mixed up world… i hope you find some amusement within you and around you (cuz it’s there, we just need to be open to it… focus, grasshopper, and sing… wait, the world might not be ready for my cartoon madness version of phantom of the opera starring wacko warner {did the animaniacs ever do phantom?... oh no, don’t go off on another tangent now… did i mention i love theanimaniacs lately?)…

hours later, i forgot why i was here after getting lost in browsing the internet to answer some of the questions i left here to answer… isn’t it always like that? (i know, like what?… sometimes i don’t get me either, but nevermind making sense or following a continuous line of logical thought, besides, continuity is vastly overrated, aren’t blooper shows more funny that way?... it is time to wish you a good night (since it’s way past time to wish you a happy new year i suppose, but happy new year anyway… unless, of course, you use a different calendar than most of the world and in that case, happy new year anyway… oh, yeah, kinda the same thing, huh?... well, happy new year anyway)… take care of yourself and thanks for being in the world (or for being out of this world, whichever comes first)…

nite nite :)

once again, amazed

not by the date though it might amaze me and others to make the connection that i am here today (and not just cuz so many think i ought to be out riding a sleigh at the moment… shhhh, we don’t give away secrets in the first parenthetic aside, remember?), though it's not about today, it's that i am gifting myself home this weekend as in making myself at home this weekend, something i haven't made time to do in many weekends... i am in the process of deep cleaning (sort of) and rearranging the living space (not to mention doing a ton of laundry) cuz my roommate is coming back after moving out of state for the last six months or so (she just couldn't stay away, i'm just that irresistible... ah, doesn't ego love to make everything everybody else does all about me... good job, ego... i mean, that is ego's job, after all... my job is not to believe everything ego says {and luckily i don't, but i do love taking laughing at the egocentrism seriously} and luckily i renewed the lease on this two bedroom place the day before she told me she was coming back, which is further along the path of coincidence of timing that may or may not be coincidence, though there's no real proof that there is anything else, but that's besides the point {if there is a point} and why not, this is where the babble happens after all), which will take a few days (the deep cleaning re-arranging thing i mentioned before the parenthetic rambling), and because of that (you following this yet?) i turned on the tv and the shows i found will likely influence this bit of babble tonight...

and so this is xmas, aye?... miss john… miss music… miss so many things, especially the sharing… but all the missing aside, i done good :)

as in and what have you done? (besides the another year older bit, ya know?) in case you didn’t follow that that (as opposed to the that that came before that that)… done good for the year, for the weekend so far, for the life… feeling better than ever about life, the universe, and everything and me too, which is really good considering the best of the physical experiences may be past (or passed) cuz a body does age and my sub-3 hour marathon days are probably gone cuz i don’t think i’m gonna motivate myself to work that hard anymore, but don’t be sad cuz two out of three ain’t bad, ya know, which is neither here nor there nor much to do with nothing or any other reference cuz i am losing whatever train of thought there might have been already (blame ncis if you must know) and i don’t want to drift into the wondrous stories on tv (not to mention ncis, of course, since there’s a xmas marathon going on… oh, i suppose it is a bit late for that, this that, that is)…

right, so this life continues and today was filled with long overdue work around the living spaces, laundry, unpacking, packing, cleaning, and rearranging stuff (and some cooking) cuz it is time to do what i've been putting off for weeks (and i forgot to mention the football on tv was keeping me company for a while before the movies and ncis offered more distraction rather than the xbox game occupying the body and mind... i decided to stay with the football as long as it lasted cuz if i turned on one of the many movies (it's a wonderful life, the sound of music, forrest gump, miracle on 34th st, a christmas story, the fifth element {every one a favorite, four all-time favorites... i'll let you guess which those are} and other stuff, but luckily tv does suck and torturous hatchet job on movies i don't feel i am missing any movies when they are on tv cuz when i do watch if the editing does not turn my stomach, the commercials ruin the movie experience... but still, love those movies and really ought to watch some more often and wish i had another movie loving friend to share the couch {and theatres} and that's what turning on the tv for the first time in weeks brought to mind today) i might not continue doing the house work, ya know?...


yup, the tv is on (ncis) which was just interrupted by wwe which really turns me off so i switched channels and what do i find (not eight tiny reindeer, though it's about that time, aye?), but you've got mail (another all-time favorite, though i love sleepless in seattle more... where are you movie partner?... sigh... or meg ryan, for that matter :)

lots getting done around here... laundry down to just a couple of loads of towels and bedding stuff and the kitchen is half sparkly and more than half the stuff has been put away (even folded and hung up the clothes, yeah, even the socks and underwear)... lit candles and incense and spent a comfy night at home (actually making it homey-ish) for the first time in a long long time... putting stuff away and cleaning up is kinda like moving in and starting over and that's a wonderful and exciting feeling... also a little lonely, but not so much tonight cuz it's been so long since i did it :)

i love this movie lol :)

and the writer says: be, for that matter… and speaking of (or at least i was a few paragraphs ago) living spaces and living partners and roommates and sharing, i offer the following three sided coincidence for you to toss about as we ponder the meaning of sharing, May, December, and missing teeth (cuz for a while there i was pounding away at keeping track of everything i was writing daily and then for the last few months i slipped through the cracks a lot or at least i let the keeping track of the writing do that… and perhaps the few links out of the hundreds hundreds and thousands of pages i stick like post-it notes on this internet refrigerator door each month actually mean something to you (or me, for that matter) and perhaps they are not as random as they seem (to me most of the time), for there may be no coincidences after all (and there’s no place like home, ya know… yeah, i love that movie too)…

and now, now (at least for the moment)...

and the fact that you are out there, readers and followers, that amazes me too... how can i say thank you so that it moves you as much as it moves me to know you are there?... not just a rhetorical question, but kinda leans that way, i know... i want to find more time to read you... and by read you i do not mean anything we can't tell our mothers, ok? (oh there i go being irreverent and did you know that 82% of the world is offended by irreverence and the rest just don't get it?... especially when it comes to sex, drugs, rock and roll, politics, religion, life, death, and all the ways people mame, torture, and kill each other... not to mention dental hygiene, or genital, for that matter... i mean, would you be offended if i ask how often you brush?... can i watch?)... the statistical analysis may have been a bit flawed, but it's amazing how many people are offended by my simple teasing... i hope you won't be, i mean no harm, and if my hand slipped up your dress it was just an accident, really it was... unless, of course, you wanted it there... but then, of course (again), if you sat on my hand by mistake, i forgive you too...

if you are not laughing then you really need to loosen up (i mean, these are words on the internet, after all... a simple distraction from whatever you were doing before you started reading, like playing your xbox, ya know? :)

there were so many things on my mind when i first came here and some of them might still be there and some may have found their way into this bit of babble and i may be back to add a bit at some future date (which may drive the critics crazy, but then, oh, i'll leave those dots for you to connect), but life has been so busy with work and with fun offline of late that i barely can keep track of the date and time when i want to, no less spend the hours writing about it that i do so love to do too… i hope to be back to write more here (there and everywhere) soon… i do miss you… and i do miss the writing (for whatever worth the words may be to you or anyone else, they are a blessingto me… and yes, it is that simple (or at least i am, beneath the layers of complexity, that is)…

make today a gift for yourself by recognizing that it is…

m’ok? :)

so i look at the blogger dashboard that lists all my many blogs (59 now, i think, that i either created {most of them} or was invited to be part of, including a few private ones... most of the not private ones can be found via my profile(s) here, in case you wondered) and i find i have followers and the last count i have 13 followers (thank you lucky number 13) and i shall admit that i love the idea that anyone might be in the least bit interested in anything i might babble on about (or actually experience in RealTime(TM) in this life i live {or used to live, since this blog is not actually updated all that often due to time constrants as explained a long time ago when it's brief daily update blog known as (e)thereal was created or invented or initiated or birthed, as the case may be and depending on perspective or whatever whatever whatever as you may already know, but all this parenthetic aside aside, i am still here when i can fit in the time and still [as you may have noticed] love to babble on several tracks simultaneiously [within parentheses within parentheses and so on], beside the points and all] offline) or even maybe somebody might actually care and want to connect in RealTime(TM) offline (the telephone for texting or calling is somewhere on the sidebar, though please be aware that i almost never {cuz there is no never, relatively speaking} actually answer a number i am not familiar with unless a voicemail identifies the caller {that would be you} and then i happilly answer next time and may even call back {which is rare for so many valid and delusional reasons we can review next time you call) and maybe even all these words will lead to the one cuz even now as i so seldom indulge the heartstrings and dreams they remain alive and well, relatively ok, and do burst forth in rhyme and song a few times a month, approximately, as time is relative (which you may have read somewhere before or even believe and understand from your own unique experience and perspective, which would be cool to explore and share), but this (and that) is beside the point that i may have lost somewhere in translation or babble cuz while i so love the fact that you are following and lover you for choosing to, i must admit with a smile and genine humility (ego fainted) and honest love that i hear a voice in my head quite innocently and sincerely asking, "why in the world are they following me?, for giggles sake"...

feel free to answer, respond even, if you followed any of that or simply caught the question near the ent of the paragraph...

i have to be up in 4 hours to head into work to decorate the haunted hallway for the kids (one more time for the kids in the hospital, thank you harry) who are due through in just under 9 hours and i slept only two hours last night and played softball and hung out in the hot sun and ran around looking for halloween stuff for the kids and then for clothes for me to wear at the david sedaris show tonight that a dear beautiful friend is taking me to (one day maybe we'll have wild passionate sex and risk blowing the beautiful friendship, but until then lust is a playful tease in my mind and who knows what's going on in hers, but i may have digressed again) and then dinner with her and the show and home and some ncaa college football recruiting between weeks 7 and 8 (ea sports video game reference, in case you are getting more lost than you were before, cuz you know, it's in the game cha cha cha) and then catch up on a few emails and blog checking (dashboard, which brings us here) and writing five or so blog entries in five or so of the blogs (not counting this one) and then, there is now and we are here and i am remembering that i have to be up in 4 hours to head into work to decorate the haunted hallway for the kids (one more time for the kids in the hospital, thank you harry) who are due through in just under 9 hours and i slept only two hours last night and played softball and hung out in the hot sun and ran around looking for halloween stuff for the kids and then for clothes for me to wear at the david sedaris show tonight that a dear beautiful friend is taking me to (one day maybe we'll have wild passionate sex and risk blowing the beautiful friendship, but until then lust is a playful tease in my mind and who knows what's going on in hers, but i may have digressed again) and then dinner with her and the show and home and some ncaa college football recruiting between weeks 7 and 8 (ea sports video game reference, in case you are getting more lost than you were before, cuz you know, it's in the game cha cha cha) and then catch up on a few emails and blog checking (dashboard, which brings us here) and writing five or so blog entries in five or so of the blogs (not counting this one) and then, there is now and we are here and i am remembering that i have to be up in 4 hours to head into work to decorate the haunted hallway for the kids (one more time for the kids in the hospital, thank you harry) who are due through in just under 9 hours and i slept only two hours last night and played softball and hung out in the hot sun and ran around looking for halloween stuff for the kids and then for clothes for me to wear at the david sedaris show tonight that a dear beautiful friend is taking me to (one day maybe we'll have wild passionate sex and risk blowing the beautiful friendship, but until then lust is a playful tease in my mind and who knows what's going on in hers, but i may have digressed again) and then dinner with her and the show and home and some ncaa college football recruiting between weeks 7 and 8 (ea sports video game reference, in case you are getting more lost than you were before, cuz you know, it's in the game cha cha cha) and then catch up on a few emails and blog checking (dashboard, which brings us here) and writing five or so blog entries in five or so of the blogs (not counting this one) and then, there is now and we are here and i am remembering that i have to be up in 4 hours...

we seem to be in a loop...

are you laughing because you actually read through the loop, both loops, or laughing for some other reason... laughing at me is ok, but since i am laughing too i prefer it if you are laughing with me... that isn't always the case even if we are both laughing at the same time, simultaneously, even, but it is preferable nonetheless... if you are not laughing, you may be the most bored person on the planet or a glutten for literary punishment, in which case i will let you know when the doctor gets here and you can share my session...

this will conclude this excruciatingly brief update of the RealTime(TM) broadcasting system blah blah blah blah blah (you know the speech, fill in the blanks to make is most amusing and least blah for you)... i will be back when i find more time (and sleep, heck, i don't even make time to list all the label tags each entry ought to have anymore, but i still revere the words and intend to one day... there are no perfect people, only perfect intentions, ya know?) and until then, all babbling and joking and teasing and kidding aside and most seriously of all . . . thank you so much more than any words can say for being out there and for any interest in me you might have and even more, thank you even more for any caring you may feel...

i shall fall asleep smiling now, may you be smiling too :)

catching up with myself

with some influence from the followers (finding even more than last time so yay, i think), but mostly an introspective pondering (maybe even search) of reasons (and rhymes?... we shall see) and what-not for the continued habit of writing daily and then some (what?... oh, and then some, right) in this blogging life (what?... oh yeah, this blogging life, sorta, maybe more like these blogging lives, aye?) in the brief place (already linked, you don’t need another, do you?) and found the babbling engine revving up thanks to an impromptu beautiful morning and a very rare day off with nothing much planned (first one all year i think) yesterday that allowed two consecutive days of sleeping in (though still sleeping in segments and not in long stretches, but that’s the habit the brain and body have gotten into over the last few years for better or worse) so except for the occasional exceptional play (college football on background tv) and odd fact (like did you know peggy is actually a high school algebra teacher in real life (i know, what’s real life anyway, but that’s besides the point, and Tudor Petrut is also an actor and screenplay writer and on facebook (who isn’t?) and coaches soccer and all that is about as pertinent to this entry as peggy is the the credit card industry, which is also besides the point except maybe to amuse my rabid Romanian fans, but another fine mess of an example of the odd fact i casually mentioned some lines back), i am focused (this is focused?) on whatever i was focused on before this paragraph started…

huh?... ok, so this is what was pondered that seemed to resurrect the babbler for a few moments and brought me back here for this moment:

sort of... starting with this blog... it is plugging right along approaching 2300 entries and satisfying the purpose i think i had for it when i started it, so a good feeling about it continues as i continue it and it continues me... some oddities or ironies or tid bitz, for that matter, raise an eyebrow and a smile, like this blogger dashboard that lists all of my blogger blogs (well over 50 now, yes, i know) tells me i have two followers but when i check it only shows one follower and that follower (hello if you check in here) has no posts in a blog design i like to look at (and love the title) and i have no idea if the second follower is hiding somehow or simply a figment of the blogger dashboard's imagination and then i consider that my previous incarnation for daily blogging has 11 followers (and more seem to join periodically in spite of my lack of updating there) and there is an equivalent discrepancy in actually listed followers when compared to the blogger-generated number of followers so either there is a way to hide from someone you are following here or blogger has a glitch in their counting software (or figments, at least) and then i consider that the almost 2300 posts here have a lifetime total of just over 8000 page views (with the most viewed page is the most viewed page (like by 30% more than the second most viewed page or why the most referrals came from here today, but that may be beside the point) and all those posts only have a total of 223 comments so far (considering some posts have up to a dozen comments, i’d estimate less than 1% of the entries here actually have a comment) and that suggests i have silent visitors who either happen by searching for something and/or a few regular visitors who find the literary expression of my daily life leaving them speechless (i know, it is so amazing i can barely find the words some days… right, and i am still looking for that unicorn for that commenter who wanted to buy one too and if you are not laughing with me, then please cheer up cuz life really is too short to take anything so seriously that you cannot find humor in even the worst of it… i care and will listen, seriously, so please don’t feel alone) so all this to say (or suggest) that i took a look at what i do here (in terms of writing this blog) today and why i do it and while the dream of sharing and interacting and finding friends and pleasing an audience (and fame a fortune, on a more distance sarcastic fantasy type of dream) and the one remains as strong and real as ever, the daily purpose is still to put my thoughts, feeling, experiences, and activities into words so i can remember and evaluate and record them for myself and anyone who cares or who may someday care (and posterity, good ol’ posterity) and in the end, to catch up with myself…

yes, so it is agreed as you know as well as i that i love the rare introspective moments and what better way to turn a beautiful morning into a wonderful day...

and how are you? :)


meanwhile, the left side of my neck has been cramping on and off of late, at least iit may be cramps, muscular, that is… hopefully it is not circulation related, like something clogging up, or glandular, or some sort of tumor… what?... oh who knows when i am serious, all i know is the neck has been cramping up more lately and i really ought to change the patterns as it could be related to the fact that i spend way too many hours sitting at my desk extending my right arm to move the mouse while sitting up and back to type and repeat and carpel tunnel could be it too… posture is everything and needs flexibility and variation, after all… arthritis or some old age disease?... what are you, an alarmist?... some doctor you’d be…

then there are all the links, that is, the web wandering i do in the wee hours of the sleepiness that leads to (randomly snatching the latest slice of life from the wanderng) this girl in progress who is probably not the one and i have no clue whether libbo would want her, which is completely irrelevant and mostly irreverent so why not pervert the construction of this meandering entry by making an arbitrary connection to the next page i stumbled upon for young adult sci-fi cuz sci-fi ought to start in the womb (doesn’t it?) just like sex (what?... expensive nostalgia couldn’t distract you from the shock of the moo, could it?)… but seriously (which is not what the cow said, so just relax and don’t let your moral indignation get your panties in a bunch) cuz the fact is you are exactly where you need to be the moment you realize you are exactly where you need to be (you don’t believe me?... look it up why don’tcha) and maybe you‘ll find some realizations or explanations or sense in mugsi , but i really wish gothic jello would come over so we could say hello and discuss something like why we are connected and cuz i like connections even in the books of adam which amuse the something or other cuz if you are so in-klined we might find some sort of purpose or meaning or cohesion that is not meaningless pr even madness cuz that is exactly what we need, ya know?...

so what i was saying before the stiff neck web browsing (or was it rabid libido irreverence?) unintentionally interrupted (or was it heading out to play games with friends in the pouring rain?... so many distractions and activities and outside influences, is it any wonder nobody finds me anymore or more to the point, why i don’t even take the time to find myself… if only somebody came over and wanted to, aye?), the dailies (which will be ever changing as the entries go slipping slipping slipping into the future, or sliding, even) continue for the momentary record even as i skip like a stone over the puddles and ponds of the rat race rush of the working life (maybe if i wasn’t playing in five softball leagues and regular tournaments and 5k races every week i might have a few moments to actually catch my breath and be back in touch with the babbling fool who always knew what was going on inside and out so well that i could ramble on ridiculously as if i had no clue about this that or anything else for that matter kind of like i might be doing here or was that the last few paragraphs, but there was some sort of point to all this, really, even as i seem to be testing your patience and the synaptic abilities of your cranial matter beyond the limits i usually do (and would you have me stroke your egos and kjss your bottom every time?... your answer reflects more on you than you know, in case you didn’t realize it was a trap, much like the last seventy gazillion entries, but you don’t have to tell anybody if you want to stay and belong in the special circle of TheReal™ cha cha cha)…

could be i am finally learning how to be human, huh?

the bottom line (ha, as if we’ve been anywhere near the bottom line for the last twenty years… global warming has fogged up our brains, economic manipulation by the elitist power structure has blinded us to any semblance of what’s going on in spite of marvin’s song or the haunting refrain of something happening here cuz the answer blew right by us in the winds of change {just ask princess stephanie if she remembers after the assimulation back into the royal subtrifuge}… i wish janis was still around to give another little piece of her heart and if you only understood what dan was telling you, you might finally become part of the plan in your own consciousness and realize what amy said and meant) just might be that i have not carved out time for myself in way too long so all the weird and wonderful babbling has been silence, dormant, waiting for the public outcry for the inner song to be sung again…

or maybe it’s just the foolishness of choosing the luxury over the street and the security over the freedom that leaves no time for the story in her eyes from the purest ecstasy to the moody blues… i would have liked to have known her, and him too, and you, really, you, dear reader, what do you feel right now and would you share it with me (you don’t even have to know who buffalo springfield is, you can still feel the spill canvas and hope that someday the emo reaches beyond the personal whining and poor=me pity parties and dares to stand up and shake the world with the quest for the truth once again (cuz the truth is out there if you want to believe… you can either share it or ignore it, either way you work yourself to death)…

sad we don’t share more, but don’t let depression apathy ambivalence, pathetic indignant ignorance, or irrational virtually incomprehensible anger be the zeitgeist of your generation (and please be more than a video game junkie, really, cuz that is what they want cuz it makes you easier to control, you know?), find your voice and speak your mind, sing your heart out, and become who you are…

maybe i’ll catch up with myself next time…

such a tease (narf and all)…

doesn’t seem finished, does it?...
