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.

Joe Winett Ummm, I will admit that not remembering the details usually doesn’t stop me from telling a story… no cop, no foul.. Or perhaps, not under oath, no foul. 32 minutes ago · Like Joe Winett I pride myself on always trying to be completely honest these days, but I was driving home earlier, telling a story to…

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…

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…

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.

A demonstration of how I record my thoughts rather than trying to write them down. Advice about brainstorming from Joe Winett: “Try not to edit your thoughts as they pour from your brain. Writing or typing can be an idea killer as you’re trying to make the writing perfect or grammatkly… grammarly… grammarily.. whatever… correct.”…

But then I decided I’d work for my living. Love you! 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX0zwjPozhQ That was a joke… the working for a living part, not the loving you one.  I know you work for your living.  You work hard.  You deserve what you like. Yeh, I’d need someone to market the commercials to car companies, but…

Dear Adam, Since you are the only person I know who works at Google, I hope you’ll pass along this sentiment of appreciation for all Google does. I remind people that free is sometimes not completely free, just not immediately renumerated. However, the value proposition for Google services is, IMHO, a good one.  And I always…

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…

I think I learned something. I think I learned that smart people don’t jump into other people’s problems when their problems are themselves. Some people don’t have time. 🙂 Anyway, I’m going to show up her marketing genius tonight before midnight.   My one 90 second video on You Tube will get more business for…

I have done more than 300 of these abstract art pieces.   I know which ones I like, but Pinterest is interesting to me because I (think) I’m getting an idea of which ones other people like. See, on Twitter, virtually no one looks at them. And on Facebook, it’s sort of like flashing the…

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

This was originally entitled, “There Was No Creator of the Universe,” but that seems open to interpretation. A kid’s universe is pretty small, but seems like enough, your idea of the universe might be everything you see in the sky at night, I don’t know. People sometimes use “creator of the universe” to mean God.…

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…

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

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…

http://www.tulsaworld.com/article.aspx/Broadcaster_sets_record_during_annual_fund_raiser/040518_Ne_A11_Broad I got really wrapped up into talking on the radio.  I was planning to donate like $2500.  Then I got confused on how I was going to match others’ donations.  And then I thought I would just match them 3:1 up to the goal of $50,000.  And then I blurted out that I’d just…

http://jasonsavard.com/ That’s right.  I made a donation to Jason Savard because I’m using his excellent Chrome extension, Checker Plus for Gmail… Given the choice between PayPal and Google Wallet, I decided to set up a Google Wallet account rather than type my debit card number into PayPal… because PAYPAL SUCKS.  I’m doing the best 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’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 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…

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.

[11:08:31 AM] Joe Winett: Tumblr is another brilliant idea. Those guys can’t be making very much money, if any. They make a commission on themes, I think. BUT way back when, when I started this dreaming,I realized that it was the free exchange of information that would set people free.  Actually, the Founding Fathers of…

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.

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…

Anyone can stand to give up their power as long as you do it like you’re boiling a frog.  Don’t boil animals you’re not going to eat, but you put the frog in the water when it’s cool and refreshing.  If takes generations to return the power where it belongs, then no one has to…

Was just thinking about you.

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…

Unfortunately, Jennifer Aniston is taken, so taken that she’s not even suitable for an imaginary girlfriend anymore.
