Year: 2013

Jordyn, my baby, the little bubble of a girl whom I fathered intensely for as long as I could, you know we had fun making guacamole. We will instantly be friends. Please contact me. You can’t write anything wrongly and I won’t embarrass you with this blog. I feel a real charge when I read…

Screenshot from: http://www.epochconverter.com/ Probably the only birth date and time cooler than yours and mine would be to be born on New Year’s Eve, 1969, at 6pm (in the Central timezone) or whenever the date and time would make you born at 0 in Unix time. Considering the number of Unix/Linux system installed around the world…

Happy birthday!  I hope you’re having a great day, today. Last night, I hatched a plan to buy you a gift and hang out at the mall during lunchtime hoping that you would eat there today. Then I upgraded the plan to me standing there with a sign that said, “Happy Birthday, Jordyn!!” and eventually…

You have an Adobe AIR native application and you want to activate a Window for a particular mxml class if it exists or open a new one if it does not, right? For example: If you have a configuration dialog opened by a menuitem or a button, you don’t want to open another instance of…

I still think of you, often.  Not too often, yet not enough.  At least, I never refrain.  I’m never sated, so I’ll never abstain. I’m not ashamed of my feelings. Your sweet little voice still rings in my ears. You’re the Bean.

Downs.OhOhI’mOh, The Downs. at Denny’s. The line above is a mistake caused by me not understanding the focus scrolling on my Android phone while I was attempting to add the “down side” part of tonight’s story.  I wrote the text below while I was waiting at Denny’s for my Bacon Avocado Burrito and hash browns.…

Last year I took a MENSA entrance exam because I was lonely.  And then I felt bad about the whole organization because it might be about “Hey! We’re smarty pants!” and I shouldn’t enable that sort of thing.  I tried to find fault with the organization — their web people have some problems — that’s…

Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad

Yesterday I heard Tater Salad, Ron White, telling a story about his friend, Dr. Phil (is he a doctor?).  He asked “Doc” for some advice for his son about building self esteem and confidence and Phil’s advice was that he should finish everything he starts. One of my mental hangups is that I seem to…

Of course, this gets old for me.  You don’t have to read it, but apparently I have to write it.

I read or heard somewhere that people frequently are unhappy to the extent that they do not feel that they are in control of their own lives.  I acknowledge that I’m unhappy because I’m in complete control of my life.  Past performance is said not to be indicative of future returns regarding financial investments, yet…

There is no dispute. We have not had a discussion, or traded any form of communication for nearly eight years.  You are the mother of my children, were my high school sweetheart, have been inspirational in the forming of business, are the creator of so many things, and you will not politely say anything?

While writing a blog post about Dr. McMurtry, my Introduction to Music for Non-Majors professor at OSU, I found out that he had died, so I wrote a letter to his wife accounting how much I loved his class. She returns this nice note (scan below). Here is the original post: http://abighairyspider.blogspot.com/2011/01/dies-irae-rip-dr-mcmurtry.html

I’m sitting here at the end of my winter season, my internal winter.  Outside, it’s still summer, but fall is on the way and the fall is my favorite time of year. I stopped writing because I didn’t like to see the crazy.  Then I decided I didn’t like to live the crazy and so…

How is it that I experience the previously mentioned calmness laying next to Zingo? Scrambled Eggs as chaotic as they come… Yet peace.

Zingo said she knows how guys like to fix things, but this cannot be fixed. I say that the challenge of gravity isn’t the falling, but the landing.  Love you, Scrambled Eggs.

No, you didn’t read that wrong.  Tulsa renamed a street named for one Brady to another Brady. The whole story: http://workingdream.blogspot.com/2013/08/whats-in-street-name.html What’s in a (street) name?by Rich Lohman

99% of the time I’ve spent playing computer games since Quake was released in 1996 has been Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3 Area, Quake 4, or (now days) QuakeLive. I think I’m done. About QuakeLive Record: * Spend like 1500 hours since June, 2009. * Played about 9300 games, 98% of those Free For All…

Dear Joe, 1. Paint something.  Acrylic, oil, whatever. Sorry, no water colors. 2. Take your medicine. Feel better, don’t ya? It had been five years since you were on medication. You don’t remember any of them working so well. This new jazz is indicated for the depressive phase of bipolar I and it seems to…

Planning to build this to notify thekids they’ve left the door open (again).

I have been told… …that you told your mother… …that it would make you uncomfortable if I came to see your performance in Cats. So, I did not. I sent you a copy of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (et al.) and it was returned because, I was told, you said it would make you…

I am going back to the original mission of making everything around me better, at least no worse.  I will clean where there is to be cleaned and I will improve electronics where I see fit.  This is my mission for I am a man. This crap about trying to adjust the way I have…

I am. Not the

Please let me see my babies. This is horrible.

After July, it looks like I came within 13 cents of finally earning $100 on my six year mission to receive a check from Google Adsense. They don’t send you any money until it’s at least $100 which is the beauty of their system because, I’m guessing, that most websites never reach the $100 threshold,…

Moving won’t help me. Making more money won’t help me. Love won’t help me. Hate won’t help me. Peace won’t help me. Confusion won’t help me. I’m not capable of having fun. So what to do? I’m sick of being your bitch. Life isn’t a gift, it’s a curse. Hell is life. Fuck off, God,…

DXM: Not. Am I happy about this lack of dxm in my life?  Not really. Nicotine: Not. Alcohol: Much more.  Daily use. Bummed bummed bummed. Fantasized about buying a shotgun today and killing myself in a Walmart parking lot.  No worries: If I’m considering the ideas of where then it’s a statement and not an…

All You Need Is Love by The Beatles Always Sounded Like a Communist Manifesto to Me It seems to say that you’re not special, but that’s okay, you only need to be you and do some loving. Q: There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done? A: You can do what others won’t. Q:…

What’s not to love?

The verdict in our system is always supposed to be about the evidence: proof beyond a shadow of a doubt. The verdict says nothing about the value of the life of the accused or the victim. Did OJ’s acquittal mean his white ex wife was a little less valuable to America than Simpson was?

Currently DXM and nicotine free. Depression? 5-HTP? Still taking it, but jury still out.

By Nuttakit (click here for source) I was looking through Google for an image of a woman sitting on a bench, like at a bus stop, at night, with a stylish street lamp nearby, but this picture of a couple sitting on a little bench caught my eye. I guess the bench isn’t necessarily little,…

Yes, I’m actually going to post this here.  No, it doesn’t help my situation. My fall-2004 diet of steak and beer and antidepressants really paid off when I made it to like 198 lbs… which I called 200. My monthly, 5-minute psychiatrist appointments at a brain-adjustment-facility documented both my growth in size and the failure…

Yellow Number Five-flavored Banana Drink Danielle Called Me! I mailed a letter to Danielle on Saturday and she called me this evening, the very next Monday. Reference: THE UNIVERSE IS BETWEEN YOUR EARS: Danielle, Duchess of Tulsa I haven’t seen Danielle since Spring of 2008 just before I moved to Texas.  At that time, I was…

Gigi De Leon in “Attempting Screed” – Andromeda, Season 5  This actress reminded me of Danielle. Yes, Danielle is a real person. She had long, red hair the last time I saw her. She’d had long, red hair every time I’d seen her over the decade before. Her hair was real.  I was told they…

Recapitulation of Red Wheel by Joe Winett(hack, yuck) I can see where the idea of producing more serotonin in the liver isn’t quite as cool as just keeping the brain from taking back up what’s already there. First day of 5-HTP experienced uncomfortable side effects of the digestive ilk. Tonight, my tummy did grumble once…

Have discontinued self medication with dxm to switch to self medication with 5-HTP. Otherwise, serotonin syndrome could cause much unhappy face.

You don’t have demons. 🙂 I Did.

Good morning, Roy… I woke up for a taste of water… Staying at my dad and step-mom’s in Jenks (USA)… Having graduated from Union, feels a little like being behind enemy lines… What time should I come calling this morning? Same address? Looking forward to seeing you! Thanks, Joe

I have so much in my head, sometimes I think the best way to live life is to spin it all around really fast and see what squirts out. I am not insane because I do not do the same thing expecting different results. 🙂 I think it would be insane to expect no results…

‘Nuff said about that float trip. The floor has been somewhat infested by fleas.  They need to die.

I’ve been living mostly on rice for the past few weeks because I didn’t work enough to buy much else to eat at home. I actually love rice. I also love vanilla.  There is a misconception that vanilla is plain when actually it’s one of the most complex flavorings we use in food. My favorite…

Was sure a week ago that everything was hopeless and was making moves to make it stay that way… and, the didn’t stay that way, so… looks like I have to continue on rebuilding a life again. My grandmother offered to pay for psychiatric treatment.  Everyone, including doctors, believe I have something called bipolar, so,…

Memorial Day, I guess, just has to be traumatic or dramatic or whatever. My employer needs work done and I just barely do enough to keep from being discarded, I think.  He needs stuff done, I’ve needed to work, but I don’t.. it’s sorta like writer’s block. Anyway, I’m presently locked into my room. Julie…

March 2013 I know since April 30th I’ve been a grouchy dickhead.  Luckily, every time around the wheel, things get a little better. Julie needs a floral career.   She has experience owning a shop.  Right now she’s waiting tables. I need a creative career of some sort.  I would prefer one that allows me…

I can’t change the past, but I can certainly be a resource for you in the future. This is a picture of my penny bank.  My Grandma Winett kept it for me at her house in Kansas City.  She had a special one for each grandchild. This bank is my gift to you this birthday.…

This is an email I received this morning from the place where I ordered those avocados for the Winett-Brungardt family for Christmas… Although my order was like 2 hours late, so they arrived after Christmas, but I never heard how they tasted.  I never heard anything. I can understand just moving on… with the kids……

At 12:30 this morning (last night) a switch in my head turned from negative to positive.  This is good. I need to do more writing. I’ve messed with putting ideas into videos. Oh! Today is Joshua’s birthday. The past is the past. Ok, yeh, I’m going to go ahead and write that I wish there…

Happy Birthday! I look forward to the day when we can celebrate your birthday together.  Until then: have fun, do good work… you know, Live Long and Prosper.

From June 2007 though April 2013, my Google Adsense account has accrued finalized earnings of about $95.  So, it looks like this is the year I might collect my first $100 from Google.

I worked a billable total of 2 hours this week.  I spent the rest of the time in my room wishing the world would stop making so many sounds.  Sounds trigger flits of anxiety in me when I’m playing hooky from work and the world. I repaired these black shorts with duct tape (don’t worry,…

As mothers day approaches, I feel I’m a highly skilled loser. I intended to write “I feel like I’m a highly skilled loser” but instead I accidentally labeled myself. I hated listening to mothers day radio commercials today. None of my time is mine. I haven’t earned it. Night time is the only peace. And…

Julie! #1 – Finish this blog posting before 8am so I will be at work before Scott goes to lunch.  This is a simple goal and the most difficult to achieve.  Not that Scott goes to lunch early.  I’m just ADD to the max, a lot. #2 – Make an appointment with Dr. Zimmerman to…

Dear Jordyn and Joshua, I miss you. Mucho Love, Joseph Michael Winett

My, how my life changed in twenty years. That rock is the rock that Daniel, 3, picked up in the road and was carrying, following me walking the dog, Cosmo.  His sister, Violet, 9, and brother, Darrin, 6, has already ran ahead to the house. And I looked back to check on Daniel. And I…

In the ASCII table, 42 is an asterisk.  An asterisk is a wildcard.  It’s the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. I love numbers. Douglas Adams said the number just popped into his head.  That’s how God works.  He just pops into your head. Heh, I think I make money if you buy this…

I just had the image that we’re all, right now, playing Quake.. We’re enjoying animal bodies. I’ve paid very close attention to my brain for a long time, and I’ve taken account of what faculties are managed by the brain (the meat) and me.  I believe a “person” is what is created when two different…

This Hawaiian Kona Coffee is easily the best coffee grown on Earth. Although rare, you’ve possibly tasted coffee blends called “Kona” that are 25% Kona, but what you’ve tasted doesn’t even compare to enjoying a cup, or pot, or six pots of the real thing. Kona is hard to find.   I found it was…

Imagine a woman so sweet that her ex-boyfriends are still her friends.   Frankly, she’s been more loyal and helpful to me, even when I was being a jerk, than either of my wives on paper.  She was woman enough to tell me to frack off when I needed to be told off, and then…

Yes.

“God” showed me… I started to write a post saying that I’ve been saying some crazy (wonderful) things to people… Oh, never mind. I always meet the people I’m supposed to meet.  And, sometimes, the places are empty… without guys.. COME ON!! GOD!  🙂  aghha 🙂 I need a vacation, but now a new place…

There’s a reason I don’t read this blog: It’s uncomfortable for me to today consider the ramifications of what I said yesterday and tomorrow I won’t like what I just wrote.

Everything I do, surely, has a reason, and it would be impossible for me personally to know the reason. Lots of what I do, I don’t know why, but it’s always been for the best — struggling to make or keep friendships just blocks space for new ones, the rights ones, and only He knows…
