Unsocial Media

 I just witnessed LinkedIn come one step closer to being the sewer that is traditional social media.  LinkedIn has somehow managed to stay above the fray of pettiness with their professional network spin on a song called Facebook.  I'm so sick of reading titles like "transformational leader" or "holistic leader" or whatever other bullshit that has to do with DEI or ESG that is all the rage.   But today...  today was epic!  Apparently it's become public knowledge that the former chipotle ceo is now the new Starbucks ceo and he gets to fly a private jet to and from work 3x a week.  He lives in Newport Beach CA or something.  At any rate - all the Starbucks drinkers feel betrayed that their cherished green, environmentally conscious company is flying an executive in a private jet when they're forcing their customers to use paper straws and compostable cups.  And all these morons on LinkedIn took the bait to bitch and moan about Starbucks and the...

 The world heal organization is declaring monkey pox as a world health emergency.  They're changing the name to mPox to protect who?  The monkeys?It is a disease primarily affecting homosexual and bisexual men.  That hardly qualifies as a world health emergency.  If your lifestyle puts you at risk for certain diseases, maybe that's God's way of telling you your lifestyle choices are bad.  Same with AIDS.  Men should stop sticking their dirty dicks it dirty holes they don't belong - then they wouldn't have to worry about these problems.  And the demonic World Health Organization wouldn't be trying to stir concern among normal healthy people and people that have relations between men and women.  Not some promiscuous orgy.   The WHO and all the homo friendly organizations should start giving await butt plugs. But seriously - if your lifestyle choices put you at risk for certain diseases, maybe you should reconsider how you're living your li...

 The Reagan movie comes out tomorrow.  I've been eagerly waiting to see it since I saw something on line about it a month or two ago.  And...  I don't know if I am going to see it.  Why?  I don't particularly like Dennis Quaid.  I don't like looking at him and I don't like his voice.  Makes watching his work difficult.  But... whatever...  Who cares?  We'll see if I can get motivated to attend the movie house.

 So.. on the people of anytown usa group there are two gay guys seeking a surrogate woman to impregnate with their sperm so they can have a kid.  Compensation indicated to the tune of $50,000 plus all medical expenses.  That borders on being considered a puppy mill for humans.  They want to have a kid.  They want to be parents.  They don't want to adopt a kid but want a kid of their own.  But the child won't be their own.  It will be part of the surrogate - AKA mother - forever. The mother will also be part of the kid and the kid will always be part of the mother.  Not sure about the quality of candidate to be had on people of any town usa groups, but hey - they might get lucky.  That's suck a risky proposition.  What if the lady wants to keep the kid after she has it.  She's being used - whoops - compensated for the use of her womb.  Just a business transaction.  I wonder if they're open to a surrogate with tattoos? ...

The video below is long even if you play it 1.75x. There are so many truths and takeaways to be gleaned from the video. I whole heartedly buy into the notion that all people are endowed with an emotional guidance system and that we fundamentally know when things are true and pure and when they’re corrupt and polluted.  A lot of goosebumps and truths found below.  https://youtu.be/mUH4Co2wE-I?si=Gj8fZ9e4wA4RhI2G Check it out. You’ll be glad you did!

 My wife wanted to celebrate national dole whip day.  She found a yogurt shop that had it in their flavor rotation.  We went and had some.  Well, she had dole whip.  The rest of us had frozen yogurt.  Which was a nice experience.  Getting to serve your own yogurt and put toppings in the bowl to your liking.  It was reasonably in expensive.  Like 23 dollars for all of us to get a little something. Yesterday we went to a different fro yo place.  Me and my wife got some.  The kids didn't want any.  It was 21 dollars for two people. Like WTF?  At the other place it was 23 dollars for 4 people.  Here it's 21 dollars for 2 people.  This new place didn't let you handle the toppings yourself.  They did it.  Like WTH?  And they charged 75 cents for whip cream.  The other place it was included in the weighed price. This new place was probably owned by a miser or an Indian person.  Only a miserly pe...

 My oldest is now a senior in college.  Class of 2025.  Gig'em!  This was also the first time we didn't take him to Aggie land.  He decided - for the first time - that he wanted his car.  It seems a little weird to send him away with a hug and a full tank of gas.  As he pulls out of the driveways and makes the two hour trek to his apartment.  Normally taking him to school is a family event and we load the car and move everything, make sure he's situated and take him out to eat for the start of the semester.   Last night we ate at one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate him.  Today, it's a little weird.  He left.  The spot where his car parks will be empty.  His car has been parked in the same location since he was a sophomore in high school.   I hope his education has prepared him for entry into the work force.  I hope his work ethic is strong.  His mother and I had different ideas about how he should s...

 My writing is agitated as of late.   It's like I'm what Barack Obama would call a old, poor white person clinging to their guns and religion.   I call it clinging to common sense and decency.  There is so much evil running rampant in the world.  It's everywhere.  What people are doing to their body's with piercings, tattoo and genital mutilation.  People convinced they are not the same sex/gender they were born with.  Even thinking this can change or is fluid is beyond reproach.  The music people listen to.  The things they idolize.  The incessant drinking and partying.  The proliferation of mind altering drugs.  It's just a different time and I don't want to be part of it.  The world is changing.  I don't like it.  I don't understand why this change is being embraced?  Or maybe not embraced but ushered in against the will of normal people.  Not in control of any of it and I don't like it. It's li...

 I have a black suit.  It's seen a lot of events in my life.  Concerts, graduations, funerals, interviews, promotions, award ceremonies and the like.  It's seen me skinny and fat and everything in between.  It's seen happy events and sad events.  Moments of pride and moments of loss.  

 Ya know - a John Denver greatest hits or compilation album really isn’t complete without Grandma’s Feather Bed being included. "I even kissed Aunt Lou, ew!"  

  Grace to you which passes your understanding.  My first question is....  What happened in Norway?!?!  This nutjob rents a truck, loads it up with fertilizer (my people tell me it was Scott's Turf Builder), some diesel fuel and a detonating device...  Drive it to a building and KaBoom!  Not like the playground KaBoom! but the KaBoom KaBoom.  Mayhem everywhere.  Body parts flying around, etc...  Another OKC type event.  Remember lost child McVey - I think McVey and Breivik were having conversations from the Dark Side.  Then Breivik goes to Fantasy Island to shoot up a bunch of vacationers, tourists and campers.  SO not cool.  Last I heard it was a lot of people shot up....  Mr. Roarke is not a happy camper.  Neither am I.  Kind to think of it... I don't know who's more upset - me or him.  Why is it these nutjobs have such issues with the government and the "religious right?"  I mean seriously..... ...

John Williams was selected to be a Disney Legend for 2024.  He wasn't able to attend the ceremony due to ongoing health issues.  As of this morning, John Williams has cancelled all concerts on his schedule. All of them.  Days for anyone his age are numbered.  Thankful for his contributions to our world and all the enjoyment his work has given me.  My favorite artist.  My musical soul mate.  He completes me.  It's as if he understands how my brain works and writes music in a way I completely understand and enjoy.  He is a person I love and I've never met him.  I know him but we are strangers.  It's a weird relationship for sure.   Back to his selection as a Disney Legend.  John Williams only composed music for one Disney film.  The BFG, directed by Spielberg.  He didn't work on any other movie for Disney. What he did do was write the music for the complete Star Wars saga and all the Indiana Jones films.  But ...

 is contained in the Lord's Prayer: Our Father Who art in heaven Hallowed it be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On Earth  As it is Heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation  but deliver us from evil For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory For ever and ever  Amen. What's missing from above or needs to be added?

These Facebook groups are full of idiots.  The questions people ask are ridiculous and the people that answer these posed questions are trying to be do gooders.   Like figure it out by yourself.  You aren't entitled to the information residents have cultivated over decades of living somewhere.  Don't appropriate the things it's taken years to learn.  You need to figure out the bad places before you get to know the good places.  Discover the community yourself - the way we did it back in the day.   Where's the best seafood place that not expensive?  How about Red Lobster.  The real place is Walt's Fish Market. A nice Italian restaurant?  Olive Garden.  You don't get to know Reale's without discovering it yourself. I need an attorney to draw up a will.  Recommendations please.  Do your own research and educate yourself by doing something more than throwing a question to the rest of us.   Where's a good place to take my ...

 Most people think of pollution as environmental pollution.  The trash on the side of the road on in the oceans.  The 'green house' gases emitted by burning fossil fuels.  The noise that seeps through walls in an indoor environment.  The jack hole in the car next to you with bass so loud it vibrates your body.  There's light pollution - when the city lights make it difficult to see stars in the sky.  These forms of pollution are relatively trivial. The pollution everyone should be thinking about are the ones with a direct affect on your well being.  The things that enter our body and mind.  Think of pollution as all the processed food we eat - the ding dongs, potato chips.  The liquids we drink such as soda, coffee, tea and anything containing alcohol.  The negative thoughts we let into our minds.  The propaganda from the supposed news media that we fester on.  The pornography easily available via the internet.  What ...

There is nothing for humanity to be proud of from this years Olympics. It was nothing more than a freak show. Starting with the opening ceremony and wrapping up with Tom Cruise.

What a mess.  Since my Mom was in the hospital on Aug 5 she has fallen 3 more times and was in the hospital again on Saturday.  She fell again tonight.  Was walking around with out her walker, lost her balance and hit the wall.  She is becoming a hazard to her own well being.  She either doesn't remember to use her walker or thinks she doesn't need it or whatever.  I don't know.  It's getting frustrating.  I think we're at the point where we are going to get her a wheelchair with a tray attached to the front of it.  That way she has to stay seated.  I don't know how this will work for toileting - but we can't have her falling down all the time.  She'll break something one of these times and that's the end. When I visited her in the hospital this last time, she had no idea why she was there.  I informed her she fell and based on the hit, we didn't know if her shoulder was broken.  She looked at me and thanked me for telling...

Driving up and down the interstate and it's littered with apartment communities.  They're getting taller and denser with more buildings.  They're so close together there isn't enough parking for all the residents.  Probably part of the plan to force people into public transportation.  I've already written about how dense human populations are disgusting to me.  All the poop and pee - where does it go?  Yuk... But driving today, another thought struck me about apartment complexes.  THey're really cages for humans.  Like a prison.  And the apartment collector collects people and keeps them in cages.  Now I know how a chicken in a coup must feel.  This is all part of the plan.  Monthly expenditures for life.  Own nothing.  Don't drive.  Fuck you.  I think this is being done on purpose.   Corporations buying residential homes.  Part of the plan.  Own nothing.  Pay rent forever.  Fuck you...

I read something that said not taxing tips would cost the government 250 Billion dollars. Like what's wrong with these brain dead zombies. While they're not collecting taxes on tips, why should I continue to pay taxes on my income? I don't give a shit what it costs the government. All they do is steal from the working class, pander to the upper class and give shit away to the lower class. Bastards.

My favorite fruits are melons. Cantaloupe is good. Honeydew not so much. But my favorite is watermelon. Preferably seedless. It helps with dehydration and headache. It tastes good. Mmmmmm. Watermelon.

 I've been thinking.  I don't think my life is much improved since taking new job.  I guess the good thing is I got a normal sleep pattern.  Other than that it is one problem after another or chasing metrics.  Constantly a work in progress.  It's not particularly fulfilling or satisfying.  Should have stuck to the original plan.  At least I'd be working a larger operation and living in a place I love.   At this point 2024 will go down as a year of disappointment.

It's what destroying America. I bet they don't study it other parts of the world. Or if they do it's to laugh at America.

 Miss Hailey Welch... become an overnight social media sensation by doing some interview with a parasite at bar where she said something stupid acting like she's some wild thang slut.  The video rocketed her to 15 minutes of fame.  She's getting quite a bit of mileage out of that brief moment in time. Miss Hailey is doing to podcast and social media scene.  She's going to concerts and going to parties and selling hats and whatever else she's doing.  She seems unusually authentic. Strangely innocent with a dirty mind.  I don't know. But what I do think is weird is all these interviewers swarming around her like a bunch of vultures waiting to take her down to the underworld of social media.  Something doesn't feel right about people ask her about her views on sex, partying, other people, drugs and whatever else they ask her.  It feels one step away from being sleazy.  In my opinion the interviews are very uncomfortable to watch.  Like a re...

Opened his big mouth again stating American's need to fall in love with cheap, small electric cars.  Because they can't make an affordable electric big car.  Hey dipshit - you already make affordable big cars; they have internal combustion engines.  Stop doing what the government tells you.  Let the free market decide.  Too much government control.  Most of these CEOs are cowards afraid to stand up for their industries and take on the government instead of cowering down like a bitch. Farley is nothing more than a lackey for the left.  I think he's some Harvard educated liberal hack.  Green new deal.  Electric this, battery powered that.  Shut up. I'm done with all these leftists trying to change our society because some worthless organization like World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, Davos or whatever decided fossil fuels were bad for the environment.  The only people bitching about the environment are politicians and en...

 Whenever I hear someone speaking their native language other than English, it sounds like a stream of gibberish.  A nonstop stream of unusual sounds.  I am sure that's how English sounds to non-english speakers.  Just sounds... It's fascinating the human brain is able to break the stream of sound into chunks which become recognizable words - way before one can read.  Sounds become words with meaning.   One of the wonders of the human mind.  Not fascinating enough to want to learn about it but fascinating in a way that the mind is able to process these things without ever having a reference.  A computer can break sounds into words because it has a reference library.  Not the human mind.  It just parses the sounds - how does the brain decipher said sounds and learn to assign meaning to them.  Then we are able to assign visual symbols to the sounds through letters to make written word and we are able to spell the same sounds different...

 There is something drastically wrong when our household income is higher than it has ever been before.  Yet we have less spending power.  First world problems.  Vacation to see family traveling by car.  No vacation destination.  No air travel.  No theme park.   Fuck Bidenomics.  That stupid son of a bitch has ruined our economy.  And maybe he isn't stupid.  That was his plan all along?  I don't know.  Now beginning to realize that the left wing and the right wing are part of the same bird.  Doomed we are.

There's no consistency with someone suffering from dementia. Sometimes you think they're one step away from death and the next day there are lucid moments and things seem stable. What's a guy to do?

 I went to the hospital to see my Mom.  She was sitting in a chair and the neck brace was off.  This makes on sense to me.  If this woman has broken vertebrae in her neck then why isn't she in a brace.  I mentioned to the nurse that NO ONE from her medical team has reached out to tell us exactly what's wrong with her or what the course of treatment will be.  The nurse reviewed her chart with me and said the vertabrae fractures in her neck were old based on the MRI information.  OK...  Then why is mom still here?  I don't know?  I need to talk to the dr.   They weren't available.  I asked for the charge nurse and waited for an hour and a half before finding her at the desk.   Later in the day one of the doctors called me.  They are waiting for internal medicine to release my mom.  Why?  She had a bump on the head.  There's nothing wrong with her internally.  Then was told speech therapy and physical...

If the economy is forcing more kids to sign up for choir instead of band or orchestra?  Musical instruments have always been expensive, but not this expensive.  Everyone has a voice.  It's by far the least expensive performing art to participate in. The 

 I got a call last night that my mother fell again and was being transported to the hospital.  Got a text around 3am that everything was looking okay and she should be transported back to the nursing home.  I called my Dad this morning and my mom still had not returned.  Went to the hospital and my mom is still in the emergency room sleeping with some kind of brace around her neck.  Was told she had two or three fractured vertebrae in her neck and they were waiting for an MRI and waiting for an intermediate care room to open up to get her out of the emergency room.  My mom is bruised up a little.  While she was sleep, she would try to scratch her nose.  Her movements are no longer fluid.  She shakes like an old person now.  Not with Parkinson's but how old people sometimes shake.  I left her to let her sleep in peace.  I don't know what the situation is but she's aged 20 years in the last two months. Went to visit her later in ...

 What a disaster on multiple fronts.  This trans thing is toxic and corrosive to society.  When you allow a trans woman (a man) to get into a boxing ring and beat the shit out of a genuine woman, there's something wrong with that.  A better question is why doesn't the olympic committee see anything wrong with that?  Anyone allowing this to take place is advocating for men to be able to beat up women.  Plain and simple.  Any woman allow this time happen has no sense of worth.  Mike Tyson should get in the rink and beat the shit out of a trans boxer so they know what it feels like to be beat - literally - by a man and know what it felt like to these women to get beat by a man.  Do you think that freak from Argentina would make it even 46 seconds after being punched in the face by Tyson?  Men's brains are wired differently than women's.  There is no denying that.  But the left will argue that we are the same and society has system...

Apple and others tout AI being incorporated into photo processing programs before the image is made available to view. You'd think with the AI intelligence they could program it to recognize a black person or utilize a 3d camera on the main camera to be able add some definition to black faces. They have no detail and often times just kinda look like black smudges with a body unless the photo was taken with extreme lighting or extreme close up. Black peoples pictures should look every bit as good as non black people photos. Get with the program. BLM in pictures, yo.

A lot of businesses want you to install their app on your phone. I rarely install apps on my phone. Why? I believe they are able to harvest / steal more data about the user with an app as opposed to interacting with their business through a web browser. Prove me wrong.
