...AND OLDCATMAN PLEADS.......

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yes, time to slow down. I am really tired as I did too many domestic chores today and you can ask My Denverite Son how I deal with domestic chores....since I live alone (and my pets don't care) I "don't deal" with said domestic chores. My dirty dishes were at least a month old, with only "washing what I need to eat with" on an "as needed" basis. The fucking dishes are all done and now my kitchen looks a bit weird!

I recent bought a 40 pound box of apples for $15.00.
What do you do with the first 40 pound
box of apples.........simple, but too fucking domestic for me!









Well, as you can plainly see I AM TIRED....too bad it is not "tired" from working with the domestic help.

So, I do believe there is a baseball play off game, so
we are just about ready to wrap this "replacement blog" (from the relativity things I was going to do).

I'm even too tired to give old George a blast.


Ooops..................

Good night, Pep'Purr............

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hey, Pep-Purr! Good Night!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SATURDAY, A FINE DAY TO NOT BLOG; MUCH

A normal blog!

Do tell!

The image thing is a trip because I can now just stop and throw in what ever suits my fancy.....what did I just say? "Suits my fancy"?

What the hell does that mean?

What is "my fancy"? "suits"? Help!

I give up................

This weekend, in a near by town, was THE HARVEST FESTIVAL and I expected to see a lot of "harvest" festivities but all I found was a raunchy flea market selling raunchy crap.....speaking of which, CRAP that is: I am working on one of my least favorite chores.

I have a composting toilet. A what? In reality it is a very nicely designed "out house" for your bathroom.

They use no water or standard plumbing; think of how much water you use when you flush a standard toilet?

Except for the "emptying" it is a great ecology gesture and a bizarre 'thing' to do ''your business'' on. The big bottom area is literally full of shit and wood chips which will now be dumped in our GIANT compost pile for future use....just image how your tomatoes would taste grown in human (oldcatman's) excretions?

Well, enough of 'that shit'.

And enough of 'this shit' for today.

I am going to go play with 'that shit'!



Check the old boy out real close...he agrees with my ''shit'' situation.

Of course, I could also deal with some other "shit".


So now we have:

"Shit": the act of writing a blog
"Shit": literally
"Shit": as a reference to marijuana
and there is also: "Get the shit out of Dodge!"
and then there is just plain old "Aw shit!".
and then there is "a shit pot full", which could also be the current state of my composting toilet where all this "bull shit" started!

It's enough to ''blow the shit'' out of my computer!


Out of here!

Good night "JC" Kitty.

Where's the BEEF? The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has invented the latest in "fast food"
attractions! CHEESEBURGER FRIES!!

You take a mixture of ground beef, cheese and breading, deep fry it, which all together tastes like a cheeseburger.

Why not just order a fucking regular cheese burger? I certainly do not see here where "invention is the mutha' of necessity.'' Clara, how about a song? Sing it!

Hey, Pep'Purr! Good night!

OLDCATMAN SAYS....

DID YOU EVER NOTICE HOW PEOPLE LAUGH ON ''PAPER'' (in a letter, Email or Blog)?

Using ONE LOOK DICTIONARY I researched the most popular BLOG laugh: "teehee" and found that many other words are available.

Such as: titter, giggle, snigger, tehee, snicker, snort, twitter, laugh, fleer, sniggger, whicker, teeter, snee,
cackle; in fact wasn't even listed but I did find as being an acronym for Houston Area Hound Association and now we'll test our "in blog" rating system on this
TEEHEE BIT:.

Well, so much for that my sense humor has failed me
again or.......OK, I get the message.

Since I am in a research mode, BLOG has appeared in dictionaries (along with some related terms):

BLOG: A web site (or section of a web site) where users can post a chronological, up to date, ''e-journal'' entry of their thoughts.

EGO-SURFING: To perform an internet search for ones own name; ie: Oldcatman's Ego search.

NET-GOD: Someone who has been on line since the beginning, one who "knows all" and has "done all".

VANITY PAGE: An individual's personal homepage, as opposed to a commerical web sight.

WHERE THIS BIT BELONGS:

She's back: Maizzy, that is . I guess she's been fluttering around in Canada someplace!

Can't forget the daily blog nepotism and my My Denverite Son.

Least we forget: JOHN EDWARDS

A quick animal update: Yel-Bel, the new chick, seems to be doing fine.....his/her water is laced with the immune booster................hang in there!

Least we forget GEORGE:

Got to go catch the Monday Nite Football Game.......
Go !!!!!!!

"JC" Kitty, we're struggling here.............Good night.

OLDCATMAN SAYS:

MY DENVERITE SON has raised another ''issue'' that
deserves my
. In his 091903 blog he talks about his frustrating encounter
with Microsoft in resolving a problem with his account.

It is hardly ever ''the issue'' that can cause a frustrating
CUSTOMER SERVICE encounter but it is WHO is the company's customer service person.

In this case he got connected to a Microsoft operation in of all places India....location is not ''the issue'' but (again) the WHO.

The ''WHO" being a "foreigner" on the line............the foreigner/issue being a voice with an "accent" and generally someone who can 'literally' speak English but 'figuratively' doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to understanding ''the nature'' of English in the United States: ie: phrases, slang expressions, cliches, etc.

His initial call to Microsoft and the "I speaka da English good"
was totally useles; he has to recall Microsoft and this time, should he get a foriegn speaking person, he will just hang up!!.....and try again.

The incredible addition to this is I have a problem with AT & T
and my billing.

My main call to resolve my issue garnered me a FORIEGNER!

He wanted to help but with his accent there was too much repeating of what he said so that I could understood what
he said and his "ability" to relate to me and this AT & T accounts receivable problem was impossible.

I had a previous call to AT & T and got a sweet woman with horrible (for her job) accent and could not grasp what I was after.....a billing question....she kept hustling me about AT & T long distance service and I wanted to talk billing.

I lost track of the number of times I told her "billing" and not "long distance"......to the point where it was "adios, lady"!

Who am I to judge? Well, I spent 40 fucking years of my life dealing (as part of my job) with PATIENT CUSTOMER SERVICE in the healthcare industry; as a representative, manager of CSV units and teacher of CSV and with the AT & T issue, my main healthcare function was to manage the
facilities ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE!

The purpose of a CSV representative is to be ''the person'' who fields telephone questions from 'your' customers in the most articulate and understanding way possible.

ARTICULATE: DOES NOT MEAN A HEAVY, NON ENGLISH, ACCENT.

UNDERSTANDING: KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUSINESS; CAPABLE OF EXPLAINING THE BUSINESS (FROM 'AT HAND' RESOURCES AND 'BUILT IN' KNOWLEDGE OF HOW IT IS SAID OR DONE IN THE UNITED STATES.

If you believe that MY OPINION (based on 40 years of experience) is wrong and higly discriminatory, rethink your thoughts the next time you have to make a Customer Service call!.....OR PUCKER UP.............................................

_______________________

AND I HAVE AN ANIMAL NEWS FLASH! I have a new baby chick to try and raise. I have been closely watching this nesting hen and at today's feeding, I found the chick!

This new one has a black back with a yellow bellie, so I guess the name will be YEL-BEL.

I will hit the feed store first thing tomorrow and get some 'boost the immune system additive' to spike the drinking water and with the first sign of a health problem, some antibiotics to put in the water.

I'LL BE BACK...................................

IN MEMORY OF MY NASH RAMBLER...just going to ramble today...

WHAT THE FUCK IS A NASH RAMBLER?

___________________________________________

Windy Wednesday............a porn star? an old girl friend?
A California candidate for governor? NO....................how about just a fucking WINDY day in the valley...been blowing hard since early this morning......when it blows this hard all of the loose chicken feathers pile up in a corner of the pen...looks like some poor chicken met up with a violent end.....it just tickles me when it happens!

Don't know where we are going today...the mere thought of reading the news appalled me; of course, the news is generally appalling every day but I did read a incredibily funny blog this morning. I came across it as a link on my MY DENVERITE SON'S blog and then I encountered it again at TIGERS
new "dark and foreboding" (??) blog......just not enough time to explore all of the blogs in the world.

I totally enjoy writing my "caustic and humorous" brain farts and have been looking since the beginning of time (060103) for other "caustic and humorous" blogs, without success...until this morning! Wow, I found PRIMALPURGE !!

She did a "bit" on driver's licenses in California that made me laugh, not chuckle, out loud! HI, ANNA!!

Back to Tiger's new look. I like the black background! Reminds of an Email story. Months ago when I was a worse 'computer dummy' than I am now.....I discovered that I could 'colorize' my Email background and font color.

I sent an old old old friend (since I was 15!!) a 'cleverly' colored Email. Black background with grey font (I am a Raider fan!!).....I sent it and he sent back twice with no response...........so I thought. Computer dummy me, assumed that IF I sent an Email with a black background and grey font that the whole Email world could see it...WRONG! Unless the receiver of an Email has the same colors and font as the sender...........well, the long and the short of it is: He was responding with his standard black font on my black background Email....and well, you get the picture...no you can't, 'cause everything was black! (Ha. Ha.).....what a fucking lame bit this was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does it bother "you" when I use "fucking"? Well, too
f_ _ _ing bad.............remember my stance on language is: there are far worse words: murder/rape/kill/assault/etc.

good ........ bad ........ ugly ........ SURPRISE!!
.....................

The whole computer thing still really amazes me...........from my earliest memory of punched cards and card sorters all the way to what my little old Imac can do. If I think too hard about 'how it works' I start thinking that maybe there is a ''higher power" responsible for all of 'this'...then it evolves to what I do with the Imac and the blogging, the movie machine,
the fotopages, the icon site and the LINKS: LINKS ....... LINKS ....... LINKS ....... LINKS
LINKS ....... LINKS ...................oh well..............

.....................and define BLOG .

There are the games that normal people play and then there are the games that the Oldcatman likes to play....I hope they tantalize you, titillate you and tease you.
I hope they surprise you again and again! .....and maybe you will learn something along the way.

Yesterday one of the LINK GAMES that I played was #1 thru #6....I am going to see how far I can run the LINK numbers.....bored? I could give a shit! SEVEN ...... EIGHT ....... NINE ...... TEN ....... ELEVEN ....... TWELVE .
...............

I love my cats............. any cat ..........they are special creatures........I still talk to my cats (Jones Kitty, Cleo and Herbie-Sherbie) that have died before me...............and when "we all" finally die, I want my ashes mixed with those of my cats and tossed to the winds off of my favorite mountain peak that I can see as I write, Lands End .....amen.
................

Shit, I think the Rambler is running out of gas (and when I had the Rambler, gas was 30 cents a gallon!)..........takes a while for me to write all this stuff, primarily because I make errors entering "links" at least 40% of the time.....among all of my other traits, good, bad or indifferent, my typing skills suck! I have had a typewriter since I a sub teen and never took a formal typing class....I'm your typical "hunt & peck typist"...maybe that's why I now like chickens (a fucking "chicken joke"?)

However, I still have enough gas to say, Good evening, "JC" Kitty and since she sleeps all day, she has the "gas" to say: meow.............

and I know I still have enough gas to fuck George over............

DOES GEORGE EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE A PIGGY BANK.....Well, George, do you see the slot on the top side of the pig? You insert the coin, a savings for a rainy day. When George, with the help of Jeb, stole the election from Al, there was a $281 billion dollar budget surplus and George in all of his wisdom (probably just teeth, in his case) predicted that by the year 2010 there would be a $5.6 trillion budget surplus. George, your crystal ball was fucked up! It now looks like by 2011, the budget deficit will be $2.3 trillion! NICE JOB, GEORGE (psst, George, it's the economy, stupid)! But the OLDCATMAN has a solution .

A MEANINGFUL BLOG....what a concept!!

Since the very beginning of my 'blog life' (060103) I have tried to encourage more use of blogs as a forum to exchange ideas and information on pertinent subjects, as opposed to always "chit chatting" away blog space; I refer to them as "bowel movements" (in conjunction with my "brain farts", gastric in nature.).

Of course, I would be the frist to admit that 100% of what I write is pertinent to anything but my thoughts of the moment or some preconceived 'blog plot'; ie: 091403's "LONE RANGER'' piece.

I try and get pertinent with my ''gnus and vues'': A brief actual news story, slapped with my "caustic and humorous" remarks and concluded with a link to an apropos web site.

I do get "visitors" (so Site Meter says) but rarely do I get feed back. I thought it was because I had no formal (other than E-mail) comments program but I have now had BlogOut for about a week; damn few comments: If you visit, comment....I do.

My Denverite Son has questioned the purpose of blogging and/or he now feels sort of obligated to write every day but while he ponders his dilemma, he ends up writing a great blog on issues that are current, either to the world or himself.

Next to baseball (and sports in general) my "do something together" relationship with my son, has been weak to say the least but BLOGGING has truly given us and an activity that we enjoy doing together.

My "blogging goals" right now are to get BlogSpot Plus to run images and to promote Oldcatman's Brain Farts at every chance I get.

I am now experimenting with YOU HAVE BEEN CATSCANNED, where I visit blogs for the first time and leaving them a comment or a tag that they have been
catscanned, hoping for a good exchange of links.

(Newly found blog: ''ANONYMOUS GURL" ; check her out!)

THE POINT OF ALL THIS RHETORIC IS ABOUT MEANINGFUL BLOGS: MY DENVERITE SON and TASBERRY have opened a discussion on the use of the word "nigger" (hence forth: "the word") in "daily" life. My Denverite Son being white and Tas being black.

Their basic points (correct me if I'm wrong): My son feels that using "the word" should be ok to use for whites and blacks...............Tas feels that when a white uses "the word", it is meant to be a racist/bigoted remark and when blacks use "the word", it is an inner-racially acceptable term of endearment and/or camaraderie.

(And to interject the use of words: My first name is GUY and I do not like it when total strangers say to me: Hey, guy, do you have the time?"; using my name as a generic male term, pisses me off!)

Is it a given that blacks can use "the word" carte blanche and whites should not use the term?

I think the real issue should be who is saying what to who and in what context and not the color of their skin.

Is it ok for Colin Powell to reference a black maid, as that ''nigger maid''? I don't think so--just as inappropriate as George saying it.

But if Colin is out socializing with other blacks and he uses "the word" in "chit-chat" conversation it is acceptable.

Which is to say: That even blacks do not have full range in using "the word", which obviously makes the use of "the word"
very awkward, if not totally inappropriate for whites.

When I lived in Eureka (California) many years ago(my son was in grammar school and I was married to his mother), three of our closest friends were black families: we worked together, lunched together, partied together, baby sat each other's kids, etc. We were tight friends. There is no way in hell I could have casually used "the word" then or now.

Claiming Italian descent, do the words "wop, dego, guinea, etc." offend me? No. All of my life I have taken great pride in my Italian heritage and to me these are terms of pride and recognition.

There are a couple of BOTTOM LINES here.

In general, we (That's all of 'us', KEMO SABE) live in a
RACIST COUNTRY.....if you can not accept that fact, then "how's the view up your ass?" or go spend sometime in Mississippi or East LA!

My personal bottom line has to do with the contemporary term/state: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Political correctness states that "the word" should not be used by whites....plain and simple.

My views on political correctness are: To have me use political correctness EVER (All though, I never swore in front of my parents) is a GIGANTIC infringement on my FREEDOM OF SPEECH (one of the Bill of Rights, folks) and that my freedoms are more important to me than anything else.

Does that mean I should use "the word" wantonly? Yes it does BUT my intellect and personal philosophies chooses not to use "the word" wantonly; and again, if I had any close black friends (TAS is the only one at the moment), I would never use "the word" in an endearment, camaraderie or any other kind of text.

BUT: I will use "the word" to describe a black person if their actions are deplorable as human beings. Two classic examples where I have used "the word" in my blog: The black lady who ran over the man and let him die in her wind shield and the 2 black snipers who killed 13 people: Those 3 deserve to be called NIGGERS; political correctness, my ass!

What if they were white? What word would "I" use to describe them?

Interestingly, there are an assortment of words/terms I could use to describe them and some of those words/terms would include the word "white".

I use "highly descriptive" words to EMPASIZE certain situations that I am writing about.

You can say: ''SEE THE DOG RUN.''

Or I would say: 'SEE THAT FUCKING DOG RUN."

IT BOILS DOWN TO HOW DEROGATORY A TERM OR WORD TRULY IS, DEPENDS ON THE MIND-SET OF THE USER.

The podium is now free.

I STAND CORRECTED.....what about you????

What the hell is that?
I hear a horse galloping up the drive way and stopping at my front door!
HOLY SHIT.......IT'S THE LONE RANGER!!

Hey, ranger dude...what's up?

This is not a social call, Oldcatman.

Is that why you came wearing your mask?

When I'm on business I always wear my mask.

Business?

I think we have a big problem, Oldcatman.

Holy shit!

Please.....Silver gets upset when he hears the words holy shit.

Ok, how can I help you, "masked man"?

You have been doing OLCATMAN'S BRAIN FARTS since 060103 and you have made a terrible mistake....not once....not twice, but countless times!

But.............................

Don't but me, Oldcatman! And to make matters worse, all of those 1,000's of people who have read your BRAIN FARTS have ignored the mistake too!

Well, they're basically not real bright folks and are afraid to talk to the OLDCATMAN about anything.

Too bad, Oldcatman.

Well, Lone, what is the mistake?

I prefer, 'masked man'.

OK, fine, masked man, what is my mistake?

Well, as a clue, check out this restaurant.

Clever name, masked man.

Oldcatman, you're missing the point!

Since 060103 you have been interjecting your "quemo sabe" bit and I'm not sure what "quemo" means.

But..........................

The correct word is: ''KEMO SABE''!!!!

Oh.

Is 'oh' all you have to say for yourself after making such a terrible mistake?

Gee, masked man, I am truly sorry.

Well, since no one else noticed it...no real harm done, Oldcatman.
Just rock on!

Sure thing, masked man.

Well, Oldcatman, my job here is done and I've got to be on my way.

DAMN, HE'S GONE.

''HI HO, SILVER"!!

Holy shit! What's that lying over there? Is it a SILVER BULLET?

WOW, KEMO SABE!!!!!!!

RANTS & RAVES....I'll join ''the club'' for a day....

Don't know why I have this MODEM PROBLEM...maybe it's because instead of a PROSTATE PROBLEM the 'powers (There's got to be more than one.) to be' have selected me for MODEM PROBLEMS.....maybe I should gets some Viagra and shove it in one of my IMAC ports.

It's Saturday and is it time to BRAIN FART? I don't really know because I am in one of those funky 'bored to shit' moods....you do remember? My life long enemy: BOREDOM!!!

I am doing some form of braining farting all of the time so I have little and big note tablets all over the place to catch the real good brain farts (I should save a bag full, put the bag on George's front porch, light the bag and then snap my fingers and disappear!) but this AM those note pads are relatively blank.

As a point of interest to all of the 'want-to-be' blog critics: I've been using lower case just to be contrary--but then again, does anybody give a shit?

Cruised by some of my favorite blogs (no links today) and didn't read anything new and exciting that might tweak my my mind into releasing some brain farts.

I went to the Blogspot starting point to pick thru some recently published blogs and that was about as entertaining as gluing down the toilet seats in a diarrhea ward----now that was a dumb fucking line; I think the real line was "as funny as a rubber crutch in a diarrhea ward"; but then again, after spending my entire adult life working in and around hospitals, 'they' don't have any fucking diarrhea wards! So put that in your proctologist's pipe and smoke it!

I have been doing my perpetual (until election night 2004) 'anti George W. Bush' theme(s)...but not today as my proctologist's line was enough was enough 'dealing with assholes' today-----have no fear, George: I'LL BE BACK, to continue to nail your ass whenever I can to help in the campaign to make you disappear in 2004.

THE DEMO MAN

When asked if I am a democrat or a republican, I usually respond with 'neither' but I do register democrat to vote (if I choose to) in the primaries....................HOWEVER, I am a "people person" which leads me most often to democratic
candidates, as republicans tend to be "pocketbook people"
(tight ass capitalists).

As far back as I care to remember (I do remember in the 8th grade, the 'gang' liked Stevenson and not Ike...so we beat up a bunch of 8th grade Ike fans) I have favored the democratic candidates BUT TO SUPPORT ANY CANDIDATES ''PLATFORM'' is 100% assinine.

What is more assinine are those people (90%ers??) who support a candidate based on one single platform issue and, of course, the pro-choice/pro-life is one pof those 'issues'.

I am convinced that if Adolph Hitler, with all of his ''marvelous'' philosophies, were to run for office today AS A PRO LIFER, he would get the pro-life vote with his other ''attributes'' being ignored. Right, stupid?

And while we are here: I am a pro-choice MAN; in fact I am one of those males who say "it is none of my fucking business what the lady wants to do with her body". The Pope and his religious peers (Jerry, Oral, Billy, etc.) should just keep their hands in their pockets, play with themselves, and stay out of the lives of women.

LEAVE MY PERSONAL RIGHTS ALONE...UNLESS I AM DOING SOMETHING THAT DIRECTLY FUCKS WITH YOU.........

How does me smoking marijuana effect you?

I have been a marijuana user and advocate on and off for 40 years (Yes, ''the days'', my friends); in fact, I'm already thinking about firing up my water pipe when this post is posted; my other 'farm chores' will be done first!)

Much to the chagrin of those ''folks'' who ''rant and rave'' (also a non blogger trait) that pot leads to harder stuff...........other "drugs" don't fit into my life.

(Calling marijuana a "drug" is bull shit.)

PERSONAL USAGE: cocaine, no; crack, never; heroin, never;
speed, etc., never; LSD, yes; peyote, yes; psilocybin, yes,
alcohol, no; xanex, yes; celex, yes; asprin, yes; midol, no; valarian, yes; dog shit, no......................

Marijuana is the most "abused" subtance that Mother Nature grows; when I say "abused", assbite, I mean how the LAW (under the lobbying control of the booze industry, the RX industry, the American Medical Association and the religious right) abuses the uses and users of marijuana.

The booze people fear that marijuana will replace 'their' intoxicating fluids as American's favorite method to enchance, distort, change, etc. personal realities.

The RX people fear that marijuana and all of its medicinal properties will replace their RX cures.

The AMA fears holistic medicine in general.

The religious right are just in fear of anything that does come from the pulpit and the $$ basket.

Whether you agree with me or not doesn't really matter and if you have an opinion: If it is not coming from your realm of personal experience, then mind your own fucking business and go suck up a 6 pack of Coor's lite.

Wow...............nice rant and rave on "drugs"!!!!

Where did today's brain farts go?

They went to a good place......just a lot of personal gibberish, which is old hat for bloggers: that is not to say that I don't enjoy reading other people's gibberish BUT AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE, THE BLOG WORLD CAN BE A POWERFUL FORUM, USE IT WISELY WHEN EVER YOU CAN.

Interesting though, being a public forum, blogs are also a place for the bigots, racists, pedophiles, etc. to post their thoughts but like other communication venues, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLICK ON THEIR SITE.

(Believe it or not, I randomly connected to a blog site this AM that dealt with self mutiliation...to each his own!)

Well, I did pause a while ago to do my chores........the chickens are fed, the horses are watered and the garden, where needed, has been watered......I can see the water reflecting in my water pipe......................

(A reminder: BlogOut some comments.......................)

Since they are both lying down here together............

Good night, "JC" Kitty and Pep'Purr.

An additional comment on 9/11: Before I discovered blogging, icon making, fotopages and the movie machine, I enjoyed making collages (via my Appleworks); they were mostly antiwar and antibush stuff but when the recent computer crash nailed my ass, I lost my collages. Please take a good look at Maizzy's 9/11 collage.

When will the ozone layer around the earth totally collapse?

Maybe churches should follow suit to increase their "flocks"? ......and it's a photo finish but '3 cherries' is a winner and pays off 25 nickles? Hurry, drop the coins in before the next race? What???? After living in Reno for 9 years, all forms of gambling intrigues me and maybe one of the mega casinos should build a live horse racing facility in the center of the casino! Horse tracks, in order to increase dying revenues are putting in slot machines.....one armed bandits.....These new facilities have created a brand new term in the English language: ''RACINO''!!

Did you see any big hairy ape like creature in your last jaunt in the woods to grandma's house? Thought you wandered on to the Planet of the Apes set? An NFL locker room? Bigfoot, the fantasy (??) of the forest, particularly, in Northern California (so what else is new, CA?).
............the term "bigfoot" came from the large documented set of footprints found several years ago which have since been shown to be a hoax/joke; the tracks were made by large wood carved feet...........
'They' have been described as being "tall, heavy, hairy and stinky"; like the NFL locker room after a game!.............you judge.

Best crime teachers in the world................Bank robbing is probably the most charismatic crime of all (a lot better than hitting on a 7-11/Speedy Mart for 'chump change')........just ask (that term again) THE MAN.

....NINE-ELEVEN: do not forget the dead....

SEPTEMBER 11, 2003: 2 years ago some looney tune CAMEL JOCKIES ripped off 4 jet passenger planes in flight: 2 they crashed into the Twin Towers, 1 into the Pentagon and 1 into a field...........and CAMEL JOCKEY'S living in the "US OF A" wonder why they are stared with feelings of hatred and fear.

It is human nature that once you ID a source of evil doers, the total "source" becomes evil by identification only (guilt or innocence is not an issue)--least we forget what we did to our Japanese/American citizens in WWII?

Nine-eleven is at the head of the line in our memories of days of infamy.............but if you stop and remember:
Pearl Harbor, the Holocaust, Hiroshima and Nagaski and the endless list of wars (minor and major).....they all had one common denominator: COUNTLESS DEATHS.

Because of my personal feelings, philosophies and attitudes "about deaths that directly effect me", I have always thought that there should be a DAY OF THE DEAD; a day where special good thoughts (over and above my daily thoughts) go to those who have died before us.

My life is filled with the spirits of those close to me who have died and in some cases, I have some physical part of them, which makes their spirit even stronger.

I have constant thoughts about my mother, my father, my grandmothers, grandfather, aunts and uncles, my daughter-in-law, the mother of my children, a host of old friends..........................and my beloved pets.

NINE-ELEVEN SHOULD BE THE DAY WE ALL REMEMBER THE DEAD.

Weird????? If you think it is, then I feel very sorry for the spirits of YOUR loved ones that have died before you.

Peace.

FULL MOON WEDNESDAY...and Tuesday went up in flames..

Through the smoldering ashes of life I can see the remains of TUESDAY [090903]. It started out very slow burning and gradually built itself into a roaring fire...............out of control (??) ...............until it was totally destroyed by the initial flame of a wooden (strike anywhere) match....I had been engulfed by the pleasures from the garden.....and the plums were good too. DISCUSSION
________________________________________

Not sure what kind of brain fart day this will be since yesterday's grandiose plan smoldered its way to oblivion, so today I have no master plan.................one thing that is always worth talking about is BLOGGING IN GENERAL.

As my "blog growth" (I hope it is not noticeable, as I appreciate "my look")
continues each day, I have hardly begun to undertsand WHAT MAKES A GOOD BLOG................I thought for sure my "caustic and humorous" approach, combined with my unique form of creativity (including my titillating use of links and link-games) would lead to scores and scores of daily visitors.............but I suddenly find my readership twindling (still getting double digit viewers)!!!! I can only assume that I have yet to hit upon the blogging geographic that likes to think about the world they live in but instead prefer to discuss how many diapers they washed last night or some "blog intimate" discussion that could best be left to e-mails or penny post cards.

Maybe this phenomena has got to do with my 90/10 theory on people; you know, 90% of the people lead/live their lives with their heads up their asses......etc.............etc..................

.......................anyway, I will continue on, exploring what makes blogging "tick" and hope that my 'reader base' starts to re-grow.

RECOLLECTIONS 4: (....years of high school)---------->
________________

When I started doing this 'recollections bit', I resolved to leave out recalling special relationships (in depth, anyway) with people, whether they be immediate family, close friends or the assortment of female companions (wives, live-ins and/or lovers) that I have had but this list of "people" does not exclude the rest (of the people) that have touched my life; ie: teachers, bosses and everybody else: HOW'S THAT FOR A DISCLAIMER?

Now you have to again understand that high school was a long time ago (as have the other recollections been); in fact, I graduated in 1957, a time when I am sure that many of the parents of current bloggers were not even born......man,
that is fucking old!

My recollecting mind has sort of jammed 4 years of high school into one period of time; all though, I know that there was a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior year(s)........and I did graduate, not with honors or any of that crap (I did lead the "march" because I was the tallest kid in class!) and I actually have my dipolma somewhere in the building (as well as, my 4 year books and 2 year books from the 7th and 8th grades).

During that 4 year period I had an assortment of teachers: some good, some bad (and some ugly, if I remember correctly.......and Clint wasn't a movie star yet!).

The most amazing ("I told you so, crap") thing dealt with my "teenage opinions" (I didn't know about Indigo Children then); you know, your parents, your teachers and your elders in general, give you the classic bull shit line: When you get "older'' you'll see where you were 'wrong' and 'they' were 'right'.

What the fuck? At age 21 my opinions about life and 'those' teachers had not changed! The teachers were still assholes and looking back from today: They were still assholes and should have been at home mowing lawns and/or baking pies instead of trying to educate and influencing me.

Through the years, either within my own mind or sharing the concept with others, I try and recollect what it is that I learned in high school.....and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure
what the total value of high school (as I experienced it) has been towards my life (can you?) other than it seems to be critical on a resume.................and DO NOT repeat: "you'll know in time the value of your high school education.....Duh, I'm 63................TOO LATE TO TEACH AN OLD CAT NEW TRICKS?

Perhaps high school was all sublimable learning?

I do remember such things as: how to do basic electrical wiring; how to put perspective in a drawing of a building; how to build a napkin holder; where the spark plugs are in a car; how to wear a jock strap.......was everything else learned thru the osmosis of life?

I learned how to "kiss the girls", smoke cigarettes (Those were not the days yet, my friends.), drink beer, drive a car and tell most anybody, including teachers, to go fuck themselves (being 6'4" helps to emphasize the issue).

I did have a few teachers that were outstanding people...you know, the ones that truly taught you with their wisdom and not some fucking bull shit they found in a syllabus given to them by their grandfather's teacher.

One of my favorites (who I, as an adult, re-met while living in Sonora, California....and he was still the 'nice guy' from high school!) was a math teacher; but I enjoyed him and his "class" as opposed to math (1 + 1 = 2). We had a fun incident with him: He got pissed off because 'we' constantly talked in class, to the point, where he put 'us' to a challenge: "If we would shut up for 1 full class period, he would buy the entire class milkshakes! THEY WERE GOOD MILKSHAKES......and so was/is he.

Another was a man I took many classes from, in the English and Speech Arts areas. He was a parapalegic and I can still see him coming up the halls, with his artifical legs clicking into place as he walked (never did know how he lost his legs...not an issue). He was a tremendous motivator for all of my creative endeavors. In my senior year, I was in his advanced Speech Arts class and our final exam was an open subject 10 minute speech.......................I ad-libbed a 10 minute monolog on life after graduation.....it got me an 'A' plus good laughs and applause. I visited him many time after graduation.

The last good teacher memory I have is of my "civics" (sounds like a constipation term) teacher, who made the world
so interesting: He never used a book. He would just stand in front of the class and talk about the world that we lived in (at the time) and respected what we had to say about 'our' world.

The head football coach had little effect on me (except he also taught "PE") but I "reconnected" with him (in 2001) when I viewed a video of the school's 50th anniversary.
My memories of him as a vibrant young PE teacher were shattered, as he had had a stroke and was totally wheelchair bound.....................LIFE MOVES ON.

I could bitch all day about the many 'bad' teachers I had to put up with but one sticks out. He pissed me off one day (refused to listen to what I had to say) that I got up, flipped him off, and walked out of his class for good (got expelled from his class). But what really puts this particular prick on my shit list is: 7 years later, my sister fell victim to this jerk-off, he gave her a bad time simply because she was my sister!

I guess 'they' all taught to the best of their 'abilities' but the problem was/is there is no criteria to test a teacher's 'ability' to teach......having a TEACHING CREDENTIAL does not necessarily make you a "mentor of young minds".

In 1957 I graduated.

I hate to say this but I now like to watch bits of pieces of professional football (NCAA football sucks!) for the pure brutality of the sport.....watching a 350 lb. defensive linemen
smashing a 200 lbs. quarterback to the ground is cool!

Of course, you must be happy for the sport but without it that 350 lb. giant could be roaming your streets at night.

MY TEAM SINCE WHENEVER AND THE BEST PLAYER EVER

Then there is basketball, THE N.B.A., where grown (and grown and grown 9'5"!!)
men dribble a round ball up and down a 'court' and then, with the ball between their 20 inch fingers they cram the ball (a slam dunk!) into the hoop/net, which they bump their heads on when they walk under it.................I guess some folk really really like basketball !

RECOLLECTIONS....the third in a series

PERPETUAL (HERE OF LATE) PISSED-OFF--NESS......

I TRIED TO INSTALL ANOTHER COMMENTS PROGRAM AND IT TOO CRAPPED OUT.

I COPY THE TEMPLATE CODE EXACTLY HOW THEY HAVE IT ON THEIR WEB PAGE, PUT IT IN VERBATUM IN THE RIGHT SECTION OF THE TEMPLATE AND BADA-BING (MY ASS) IT DOES NOT WORK AS 'PROMISED'; DO I DARE SEND A 'HELP ME' E-MAIL TO THIS LATEST TRY.......FUCK NO! I AM TIRED OF THE ''IVs''
THAT ROAM AROUND THE INTERNET WITH THEIR ARROGANCENESS AND THEIRHEADUPTHEIRASSNESS---THEY ALL NEED TO BE TOLD THAT THEIR SHIT (AS CONSTIPATED AS THEY MUST BE) SMELLS JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSES.

THEN OF COURSE THERE IS THE FUCKING MODEM.

LAST NIGHT I FINISHED WRITING AT 7 PM.

I PRINTED MY USUAL HARD COPY.

I SAVED AN HTML COPY.

I THEN WENT TO PUBLISH THE BLOG AND THE MODEM STARTED DISCONNECTING AND FINALLY (NO BULL SHIT, MY FRIENDS) AT 7:40 PM I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PUBLISH......THIS TOO TAKES ALL OF THE DAMN FUN AND PLEASURE OUT OF BLOGGING; TOSS IN THE MY 'COMMENTS' QUEST AND I FEEL LIKE PUTTING SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING IN THE 'CROSSHAIRS' OR PAY THEM A VISIT WITH A BASEBALL BAT.

PEACE

RECOLLECTIONS: THE OTHER HOUSE ON WHITE ROAD

When we last left 'recollections', capitalism had just destroyed the orchard (my fantasy world) behind our first house on White Road, leaving nothing but ''housing tracts".

My father got a bug up his ass (he had many) that my sister needed her own bedroom (or did my parents want their own bedroom?), which is a very reasonable "bug", except he decided to buy one of the new and unbuilt TRACT HOUSES up the street (still on White Road) which would p;rovide my sister with a 9 x 9 bedroom.

This 'tract' was called Woodhaven...should have really been called Woodheaven because every single fruit tree in the area had been removed.......Woodheaven; I hope that's where all the dead trees went!

They were going to be 'cute' little houses with no peaked roofs---THEY WERE FLATTOP HOUSES; a fad in the 1950's San Jose area that did not last long; all though, from a building cost standpoint, a 'flattop' must have been cheaper to build than a peaked roof (I think the price in the 50's was $9K).

I guess the good things about relocating 'just up the street' were: I was still in my (treeless) neighborhood and I would not have to change schools.

It was kind of neat to watch your 'new house' being built and I would visit the site (before computer 'sites') every night, gathering up fallen nails and other neat fallen contruction materials.

Before we could move into the new house, we had to vacate the old one (it had been sold), so we moved in with my grandparents awaiting final contruction of the 'flattop'.

(Living with my grandparents may become a future recollection.)

It wasn't long before were able to move into the new house--and life went on; still on White Road.

I do remember some of the 'neighbors' and they were an odd assortment to me then and now; so I guess, my attitudes about people have not changed in nearly half a century (The 90%ers were alive and well then and they spawned those that exist in my world today!).

Our neighbors on the right were the Lopes (yes, with an ''s'', he was of Portuguese decent and not a ''z'' Mexican. He was a short arrogant little dude (are the 'little ones' always arrogant?) with curly hair and his wife was a German immigrant, who he had met while in the Army stationed in Germany.
They had 1 pudgy little daughter............our relationship with them was limited to "hello, goodbye and Merry Christmas."

Our neighbors on the left were the Tolands; a sometime husband, wife and 2 odd ball sons...they really belonged in a 'Springer trailer park'. The sometime husband was a race car driver; specifically, "Hard Tops": A fad in the 50's, junked together 'racing' cars that chased each other on a 1/8 mile
asphalt track at 70-80 mph----the track was several miles away, but every Saturday night you could hear the ROAR of their mufflerless engines.

An ironic tragedy struck the Tolands: The sometime husand
and the oldest son (who also became a hard top driver in his older years) were both killed (years apart) racing hardtops; it was very rare to have an injury in hardtop racing, much less a death, and to have both a father and son killed is very strange.

To the left of the Tolands were the Littles.......I always thought of them as a 'strange family' (like you might find in a King book)----lots of kids: 1 my sister's age and 1 2 years older than me and some other married kids. I think there was a lot of religion in that house and of course, by that time I had managed to flush the Catholic religion down life's toilet. I think they were pasty looking (very pale) people.

Three houses to the right were the Bantas, an older retired childless couple. The husband was probably my Dad's closest (not too close, as we never had a meal together) neighborhood friend. They both likes to propagate fruit trees----and he had the most interesting collection of specimen rocks, including some of those geode things that have magic worlds inside.

50 years later...are they all dead and buried?

My Dad's fruit tree propagation (nice word) hobby really came together at this house. He planted 5 or 6 trees (apple, apricot, peaches) in the backyard and then grafted (look it up) on other varieties of fruit and we ended up with a couple of dozen different fruits. My Dad had a 'greenthumb' to rival all greenthumbs: He could graft a tooth pick on to a tlephone pole and a tree woulkd sprout!

I lived my high schools years in the flattop; years that probably deserve their own recollections.

It has been many years since I have ventured back to San Jose and I never will go back (I avoid going back to any where I once lived: more oldcatman weirdness) but even at my last visit, the old flattop neighborhood had turned into a ghetto....nary a white person in site!

When I was in high school there were a hand full of Mexicans and one black (basketballplayer) and today the school is 95% 'non white'......I guess everybody has to live some place.

Those years were so long ago......If I had them to live over, knowing what I know now (Yeah!), would they be any better?
I would of course avoid lots of the 'mistakes' I made but then I would make a whole bunch of new mistakes; best to leave 'sleeping dogs' (with apologies to Sue-Sue, The Dog) lie.
