Year: 2012

#1 — Please email with me.

I’m looking forward to the day I don’t remember why I posted this. I’m retiring the sad rose.

Remember the red and blue stuff? For some reason, the set designers for Star Trek: The Next Generation thought big containers of red and blue stuff made sense for the sick bay.

When I saw Barton Fink in 1991, I liked it, and I thought I understood the movie.  But, it’s easier to understand today. Sometimes things just get all balled up at the head office. Unrelated: I miss my babies. Thinking of better times, ahead or behind, makes things more difficult right now. Things aren’t terrible,…

When I was little, my favorite record was a 45 in my parents’ collection of the Beatles. It had I Want to Hold Your Hand on one side: And I Saw Her Standing There on the other: I Saw Her Standing There was my favorite of the two.  I definitely know the feeling, now. Paul…

One day, out of the blue,you asked me to wear this,hold that, and hang a microphone around my neck.You thought it was so funny.  🙂 I read my post from last year and it looks like I thought I was writing to a nine year old girl. Well, today you’re a woman! Try not to act like one…

In a dream I was skating around an ice rink, in a prison.  The rink was huge, and the ice was dark and translucent.  It was like skating around a dark lake.

Hope you’re having a nice day.

..and I’m up, after just a couple hours of sleep. I’m going to work on this video I was making for the song, Don’t Worry About the Government.  The copyright holder rejected it from YouTube last time around, but I uploaded it unfinished. [AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER] That’s enough for this morning!!  I…

Probably my favorite song. Talking Heads – This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) I’m just an animal looking for a homeShare the same space for a minute or twoAnd you love me till my heart stopsLove me till i’m dead Thank You For Sending Me An Angel

My daughter made this for me for Valentine’s Day, 1999.  🙂  It’s a refrigerator magnet.  She turns 16 this month.

Inspiring Words of Wisdom: Yourself: “To find yourself, think for yourself.”  – Socrates –

This is one of my most prized possessions.

A tornado went through Stillwater on May 15th, 1990. This was my apartment (ground floor). This is my car in 1992 in Arizona.  I was on my way to see #1. This is my brother and I in May, 1993. OMG, I’m posting this for you.  You’re like crack.  Stay away.  🙂

I’m not a Christian (or religious), but in 2007, I was alone in my apartment, very upset that I couldn’t get anything done that I wanted to get done and worried that I’d been wasting my life.  For some reason, my Bible, which I’d never really read, was on my desk, so I opened it…

I’m glad that I did some work today. I’m excited that I have the opportunity tomorrow to write a simple application with which my client can start making immediately. I’m really better at short term projects like that. Obviously, the trick for long term projects is to look at the as a series of short…

Two people contacted me, disturbed, after noticing things missing from my Facebook timeline — they didn’t realize I was deleting items and they thought perhaps they were being blocked or rejected. I’m planning to go through this blog and remove or edit everything that makes me uncomfortable or that I don’t want my kids to…

Finally scanned the first four dollars donated to the Million Dollar Ball. http://milliondollarball.org/archives/25-first-donated-dollar http://milliondollarball.org/archives/26-second-donated-dollar http://milliondollarball.org/archives/27-third-donated-dollar http://milliondollarball.org/archives/28-fourth-donated-dollar

My Son, 11 Years Old I heard that you just spent some time with your grandparents and that you’re doing great.   I’m glad! Heard they fed’ya Hideaway pizza… My favorite pizza at Hideaway is the one where every slice is different. The original Hideaway is in Stillwater where I spent a couple of years…

http://www.andymaxfield.com/ Andy died because he took too much of a mixed cold remedy.  Those other things will kill you, including the “Tylenol.” I can imagine how it happens: Kids take a cold remedy and they think it feels “neat,” so the next time they take it, they swallow more.  I’ve seen lots of posts from…

It’s so very cool to have seen your 5′ 10″ self here tonight. You’d never believe how much you’ve improved my life by just being you. Peace to you, young woman. Update: Her name is Allison…and she told me that I act like a politician. HAHAHAH

This black and while patrol car has an overhead valve V8 engine… Dear NBC Universal: Sorry if this is uncool.  I’m going to tell people that they can see every episode of Adam 12 right now on Netflix.

In 2005, when I was ordered not to have any contact with you for three years, I was in shock all the way from the courtroom back to my bedroom — I was numb, like the numbness one would feel after losing a limb, I’m guessing.  It was a respite granted by my brain in…

Joe Winett And the deletes are done. 5,443,938 records.  I guess one delete failed and it failed between midnight and this morning beccause I did the math and it was supposed to be ..7.. hmm  I’m not going to freak out, I don’t think. [8:33:37 AM] Joe Winett: It was doing upwards of 1000 deletes…

When I tried to walk to Stillwater, I got very thirsty. I stopped at a couple of houses, but no one would come to the door. So I walked a little farther, up a hill, to where a canopy trees shaded an intersection of the highway and a road.  There was a cemetery sign and…

This movie, Being Flynn (2012), has upset me. Nicholas Flynn never knew his father, an ex-con who always described himself as an excellent writer. In the midst of being lost in his own life, Nicholas takes a job at a homeless shelter.  One night, his father, Johnathon Flynn, checks in. Johnathon is there for weeks…

I’m sure my life is about to hit an all-time low because I’m sure my life is about to hit an all-time low.Oh, the excitement of living in a slow motion train wreck of my own design.  Not. And now some profanity: Motherfucker.  I admit it.  Have. And now some screaming: ArrrEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE cough ARREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.  I…

Holy fuck. I’ve been listening to my Talking Heads albums this morning… A large portion of the songs seem to refer to me. I’m going to start “translating” them on my blog. Here’s one: Talking Heads: Nothing But Flowers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=068AFYvd58E God speaking to me.The You’ve Got It and We’ve Got It lines tell me that I am understanding…

You know what this is about, right? Talking Heads: And She Was She was in the world,but she could hear the path to the spiritual world,she made sure she was quiet of mind (not breathing),she was with the world, but above it,she was drifting through the back yard (not going far from the reality she…

I think this is along the lines of what has been going on with me. I have, at times, been sure that the messages I find were left by myself. But this could all just be a matter of projecting my own ego into it all. Other possibilities: Messages from “God,” psychosis, or just momentary interfaces with the…

One question I have about you is Why do you live the way you do? Did you become so repulsed with the Materialists?  I quit trying to support myself because I was sure that if life became miserable enough, that I would eventually follow through with suicide. Failing to kill myself is still one of the biggest…

The stuff I’ve “seen” myself really wasn’t perceiving our universe from a different spacial dimension, but of perceiving everything from a different aspect of reality, or at a different resolution, but I have to admit I’ve experienced some wild wild stuff that I know for a fact was just generated by my own imagination, filtered…

Was just thinking about you. I don’t really want to talk about what’s been going on with me (all engineered by me to be much more dramatic than other people would have it, because, I think, I just need the excitement and disaster is so much easier to create than anything positive). My tendency (some…

“Nobody’s Diary” by Yaz from Upstairs at Eric’s (on YouTube)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0ed9WtQ_Yw Has it been almost 30 years, K?

Dear Anonymous: No, I’m not a tease.  It plainly states on this page that these posts are dramatic on purpose.  I’ve also plainly stated that I won’t kill myself.

I don’t like to add to the negativity in the world, but I thought i’d record that as of today i’ve given up and admit that any positive thoughts i’ve entertained have been artificial. I have never felt part of the world, with the exception of late 1996 and parts of 1997 – a time…

“End” i think i’ve reached that point where giving up and going on are both the same dead end to me are both the same old song i think i’ve reached that point where every wish has come true and tired disguised oblivion is everything i do please stop loving me please stop loving me…

I’m welcome to consume one of these two items.Or the tape… I suppose I’m welcome to all the tape I want. My 43rd year started amid the summer of self-imposed insanity.  The summer ended with a really boring, yet hot and sleepless, trip to Quakecon.  Then the fall, although cool, was depressingly money bare, so…

Unfortunately, Jennifer Aniston is taken, so taken that she’s not even suitable for an imaginary girlfriend anymore. I’ve come to the conclusion that my recent girl craziness is more than just a midlife crisis, it’s an understanding that I won’t try to succeed for myself, for my children, or for the huddled masses whom I…

There was a text message waiting for me this morning, something like, “I just need to check to see if you’re okay.” I’m okay. I’m always okay, and it’s getting quite boring.  I told my grandmother last week that I was pretty sure I could throw myself in front of traffic, and would make it…

Today is Paul McCartney’s birthday. I’m testing out the blogger app for android. I’m thinking posting everything to facebook as I roam around might be silly.

Before I copy this, I want to say that I LOVE Obama.  I really think he’s an awesome character.  Heck, I LOVE CLINTON.  Another AWESOME character.  We need these people.  Obama needed to have a shot — we’ve benefited in many ways (mainly, we’ve benefited by the example that the Presidency should not be operated…

The notion has been popped into my noggin that this blog needs to be edited and then collected electronically for on-demand printing through Amazon or a like service.  My ideas are going to need more money than I can make through my daily labors.  I can, thankfully, now afford the setup fee for the publishing.

This whole strip bar issue is really upsetting to some people.  I was married to one of those people.  And then I was married to a former stripper, so I’ve seen it from both sides. I said on Facebook a while back that I was sure that these strip bars were a gift from God.…

Rather than bury the lead: My application for enlistment into the United States Army was rejected because I refused to release my mental health records to them.

Here’s how I chose the Quake gamer name “aBigHairySpider:” When Quake came out in 1996, you had to choose a player name.  I messed around with several.
