"Back To Normalcy" Is A Good Thing

The Blue Bus - Is Calling Us-!

I don’t think I’ve used this shade from the color square source before although I used to “mix” something very much like it in the past – kind of a rose color.  Yesterday at one was that World War I movie again in black and white about this general that had a paranoia about cowardly people in his ranks.  I saw a good chunk of it again.  Randy Rhodes made reference to it being a Thursday in the rerun she had about Condelisa Rice and her arrogance.  But it couldn’t have been last Thursday because that was Thanksgiving.  The past sixteen days have been a little more unsettled than I like, and I’d much prefer it if we’d get back to a more “normal” stance around here.  We had chili dogs for lunch and potato chips and I got a second half dog and also more of that good beef soup they had.  I grabbed the fullest coffee cup from the tray before she could make the decision, and lucky I didn’t get a “demerit” for it.  It should be noted that I was unable to watch Days of our Lives on Tuesday, and I still have not picked it up on the internet yet.  The soap opera is confused because some of the people know about Gabriel’s time at the abortion clinic and went on there whereas the other half of the time Gabriel not only hasn’t had the abortion yet, but seemingly the matter is still top secret and Samantha and Raphael know nothing about the pregnancy.  It’s like editing confusion where they are forking back and forth between possible plot lines. It must be stated that Secretary Rice under Bush knew about the memo that explicitedly stated in it’s title, “Al Qaeda Determined to launch Plot in US Later this Summer” and now claims that it’s a “historical background document”.  Clearly the Bush administration was judged under an entirely different set of standards than the Obama administration has it.  Senators John Mc Cain and Lindsey Graham say they are “more disturbed and troubled than ever” after meeting behind closed doors with Secretary Rice.  Perhaps they should both get into psychotherapy.  Otherwise there seems to be nothing fresh actually taking place or else they wouldn’t be doing reruns.  I haven’t checked C-Span today, and I’ll do that now.

This is a rainy Thursday November 29, 2012 at ten thirty and Larry Barton just talked my head off again telling me stuff I already have memorized backwards.  Dora served coffee in the hall way because even though it’s pretty much stopped raining, using the same logic they use about mopping the floors, “It’s wet outside”.  I was afraid it would be really cold but I physically was a lot colder all day Tuesday when I wasn’t feeling 100% anyhow.  I got two cups from Dora of coffee that was a hell of a lot better than at breakfast time.  We were treated to cold and weak coffee that wouldn’t even dissolve the creamer.  Moe Kelly was talking about Susan Rice, and this second Trayvon Martin type case in Florida.  As far as I can tell it’s about a guy who was playing loud music and this other guy asks him to turn down his car radio and then shoots eight or nine people, and it happened outside a convienience store.  But I may have the details wrong because I was half asleep at the time.  There is some Black guy after ten who says our problems are because we are “Never ourselves”, like “Jake” in two and a half men.  He’s substituting one script for another from a right wing church, and it’s feared we might now the real nineteen year old Angus.  Lindsey Lohan, otherwise known as the female Rodney King, got arrested again.  She must spend half her life under arrest.  They also talked about Jesse Jackson Jr. and how he’s resigned and all due to health issues.  On the Stephanie Miller show this morning they were talking about how John Mc Cain graduated fifth man from the bottom and they said he crashed five plains in training and also he disregarded warnings to bail out when told to when it came the time.  But there is still not one major story I can sink my teeth into to blog about that has happened since Monday.  Even back last Saturday I was “searching about” for something to post because even then there was a derth of new news stories, so I’ve had to pad my postings with other things such as old stuff, or else paragraphs pasted from on line.

My latest theory - - all you anti “other side” people can turn away now - - about who was “occupying my body” in 1967 it was Jim till November of 1967 and then for three months or just over perhaps from mid November to early March of 1968 it was John Lennon, in what would have to be the “Glass Onion” period. Let me just insert here that Pink was the guy doing John Lennon's job back in England.  Actually an interview with Johnny Cash was declassified and Cash told - - Bones, I guess, that Jim was “not a tea party person” and when asked about voting for Romney Cash just said “He’s not a person who would do that sort of thing”, and then mentioned that “being a trial lawyer he has a left wing occupation”.  I heard he was an adoption attorney, and not trial lawyer per se.  But when asked about going against his father in law, Cash just said “Well, I guess there may be some sort of a problem developing there”.  I must stress that I have zero confirmation of this from “this side of the void” so we’ll just have to see.  I am still of the belief that the whole “12 – 12 – 12” thing has substance to it and something good, positive, of a supernatural nature, will occur to “the elect”, meaning ME in this case.  Jim always had the saying of “Never give the Devil an even break”.  Technically that’s right, if he’s being kosher with us.  Rick Warren is right, too.  You don’t negotiate with the devil or be verbally manipulated by him.  You set your sights on one thing only, which is to undo and destroy the works of the Devil because after all he’s pure evil, and there is no redeeming value in “getting involved with it”.  However I was puzzled why Rick Warren was hung up on “Natural verses Unnatural”.  To me Christianity came to me as a completely “unnatural” course to take, going against every instinct in my body, for a whole host of reasons.  I get suspicious when people are talking about gays and the focus of the conversation is abruptly switched to looking at a pretty woman as she’s walking down the street.  If you know nothing about gays it’s that their lives are basically a “frustrated attempt to find themselves”.  How many gays do you know that didn’t at one time at least WANT to be heterosexual, and once saw themselves that way- - but something went wrong- - and rather than “fix’ what was wrong- - decided instead to warp out their whole values and morality system.  Oh yes, I guess Born Again Christians do the same thing!

Stephanie and Bill Press apparently, were talking about canceling some relation the station had with the Salvation Army, apparently because they discriminated in giving aid to gay people, which apparently they don’t do.  But you won’t find a political correctness test that Jesus said to give anybody when it comes to distribution of goods to the poor.  But the Salvation Army is kind of like the Church of Scientology.  I would never become a member or it or work there but I admire certain things they stand for.  As you know one time housemate Daryl spoke of many things the Salvation Army organization was a little weird about.  We got seconds on oatmeal at breakfast.  For my first piece of toast I had two butters and a jelly on it.  Now they are starting to put catsup on our eggs and Brenda complained about that.  Denise provided seconds on coffee for me seeing I had drunk my first cup so eagerly.  I also got seconds on toast and ate that piece dry.  All in all it was a nice filling warm breakfast.  I finally feel in biological equilibrium for the first time in a couple days.  I’m still taking the garlic and vitamin C, which is two garlic and one vitamin C.  I’m hoping it’s having some long range effect on my health.  But yesterday I was in some kind of metabolic slow-down all day.  I don’t know if it was my body saying it needed rest or what.  When it comes to acts of grace- - grace itself I regard as a good thing and it’s all how it’s used that counts.  One might call it a precious gift that must not be cheapened or contaminated.  I guess I’ll see what’s happening on the Ed Schultz show now.  We are on page six, and I may add to this page later on in the morning - - or not.  I mentioned that Glen seemed to be in a downer mood yesterday and today and naturally he denied it.  Last night he was so emphatic about no instant coffee for cigarettes, when he’s the one who in the past has made that offer a lot of time with me, beck before I had a means of really hot water, or creamer.

This Ed Schultz show station is kind of a rotating feast.  They promoted that they were from Palm Springs although the evidence was that they were from Minneapolis.  But then Monday it was a station in the Monterey Bay area here in California.  But a few minutes ago they announced themselves as from Columbus.  So go figure.  Last evening I listened to excerpts of the 2004 debate between President George W Bush and John Kerry.  What struck me about these exchanges is how civilized they were and rational discourse by today’s standards.  You didn’t have the “wall of lies” you see today, and people were polite not interrupting each other.  Also there were no groans or gestures or funny faces by the person who was waiting to talk.  “Eminence Front” by the Who is a song with a lot of Jesse Ryder “vibes” on it.  They played “Let Me Love You” that I have always mentally referred to as “Bullfrog Blues” perhaps by the way the guitar plays.  They played “Honey I Need Your Love” by the Pretty Things, and also “I’m Not Talking” by the Yardbirds, and also “Silver Spring’ an interesting Fleetwood Mac song, and of course ‘Had to Cry Today” by Blind Faith.  But very little of Ed Schultz.
