Summer of 74

Saturday, November 28, 2009, 10:43 am, d 12,611, sitting in a booth at the flea market, tweeting fragments to the twitterverse from my cell... And looking at some old scribblings I see that I took a sociology class at CSN in June of 1974.  And its funny, I remember the Dead at the Bowl the next month, but not the class!  Interesting.  And I'm assuming this was Cal State Northridge, but actually... I don't recall, which is odd, when after all this time I have vivid memories of crashing a singl...

Autumn

Monday, November 9, 2009 11:20 am; d 12592. So far November has been a very busy month. Thankfully it's been wonderfully cool for the most part. Autumn has always been my favorite time of the year. Always. Especially the nights which are usually cool and breezy. Delightful weather actually.

Another Saturday

Saturday, February 28, 2009; mid-afternoon; d 12338 - It's a warm spring like day, temperatures near 80° F with traffic outside rumbling so incessantly that it has somehow ceased to even be noticed. My wife and my mother are out getting their hair done and will be picking up our granddaughter on their return so I have the place to myself. I've been listening to music I recorded off the Internet last October (10-21-08Midnight). I let one of those little lizards out. I hate to see them get t...

Thomas 6

Sunday, November 23, 2008; 12 noon; d 12241 - Another cool clear day. Up since about 9 am updating Thomas' website and doing some work for the office. Finally got Thomas' site moved over to GoDaddy Tuesday night (sitting it up temporarily on paradatx.net). That was a genuine all-nighter with me not getting under the covers until shortly after 6:30 the next morning, having started a little after dinner the night before. I really dreaded starting that one after trying and failing to do the sam...

Family

Monday, November 17, 2008; 1 am; d 12235 - This (Sunday) has been a good day. Cold, clear, sweater wearing weather. Did some house cleaning. Made some real progress on this website, securing it, starting on the section on blocking feelings. I've not been "out" all weekend. May has been out and about both Saturday and Sunday. This is normal for our weekends. I stay in, May goes out running errands, shopping, visiting. Mom is recovering from a large squamous cell carcinoma she had removed ...

Escape

Saturday, November 15, 2008; d 12233 - I have not posted in many months, nor have I done anything particularly constructive. This blog has been in need of some maintenance (server side) but it would be misleading to suggest that as an excuse. There seems to be some interest in this site from someone residing in the Hebei Province of China as someone from there has visited now every day since the 10th. I wonder if they speak English? I have been completely preoccupied with the political pro...

Yes we can

My first reaction to the New Yorker cover was giddiness over the complete inappropriateness of it all (flag in the fireplace LOL). But then it didn't quite ring true did it? I mean Obama isn't exactly a kid of the 60's now is he? If this was Hoffman or Ruben (both in yippie heaven now?) it would have been perfect, but those types of patriots aren't about to get elected in this sad culture of sleeping wombats LOL. But Obama strikes me as a pretty straight kid. Top of his class. Serious (seriousl...

Gurus

Friday, April 11, 2008; d 12016 - Today was difficult in the sense that there were a number of things I wanted to do, but had the sensation of being blocked throughout. First there was the customer that I promised to meet at the store at 9 AM, the date and time arrived at by the customer which I agreed to it despite the fact that I've never been at the store that early before and it takes about 25 minutes to get there so I was up at 7:30 AM so as to have enough time. Of course what the custome...

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. Today (Friday, April 4, 2008) is the 12,009th day of my first learning about the Method, and this morning at 4:11 a.m. I began again in earnest to look at a number of issues that had been plaguing me for years. Now it was almost one year ago that I began, for reasons as yet unknown to me, to develop a serious problem with vertigo that was from the first morning of its outset, immediately and completely debilitating. I quickly determined that the condition was invariably ...

In response to a post over at Conservative Village re. WMD cover-up by the media... There may have indeed been WMD smuggled across the border to Syria. I was a believer at the time. But that isn't what the "Bush lied, people died" is all about now is it? The WMD were merely a pretext. Or didn't you know that? The members of Bush's kitchen cabinet were laying plans for the invasion even before he was "elected" in 2000. Virtually everything out of this administration is a lie. And for God's ...
