10 true things 09/10/2017

1.)  Making an attempt to knit again - want to knit some socks for Sheila.  It would be nice to give them to her on her birthday.  . . . to cheer her up.  This of course means I have twenty days to knit a pair of socks.  Actually less than that because I need to ship them.

2.)  I am way to pissed off about political shit.  I gotta stop.  Seriously.

3.)  I got a rash that seems to be going away but it wasn't.  Kinda worried about it.  Is it a virus?  I gotta stop.

4.)  I went to dunking donuts this morning and got 3 chocolate cream filled donuts.  I love those.  I gotta stop.

5.)  Brought out my guitar yesterday and started playing.

6.) Today is Adam's birthday.  I called him.

7.)  I am anxious about the quasi-date I am going on next Saturday.  Mostly what I am worried about is that she will cancel out or stand me up.

8.)  It looks like it might rain today

9.)  I bought an audio book yesterday, called I am legion - bobiverse book 1.  Listened to it while I started knitting.

10.)  Just made myself some spaghetti with mild Italian sausage.

11 and 12 were like to much information.

13.)  I am thinking the last 2 items were not quite what you expected.   SURPRISE!  Anyway by my account, I am still sober.
14.)  Was going to hike today but I don't think I will.  I will knit and listen to my book and try not to eat.

15.)  So number 15 on my 10 true things list is that I do not like being corrected unsolicited.  For instance, I make some sort of statement, could be right, could be wrong, but my office mate will invariably chime in with, "Actually,. . ."  and then proceed to say the opposite of what I just said.  For instance, I said that I had a caffiene head ache and was talking about how caffeine is a vaso-constrictor.  He then says, "Actually, caffeine dialates your blood vessels."

Well actually David, it doesn't.  But I am just getting my information from specious sources like WebMD,  American Journal of Medicine,  The Harvard Medical Newsletter.

Okay, I'm done.

50 Shades of Gray - Fun fact.

One of the coolest things I just became aware of is the book, 50 Shades of Gray, is one of the most wildly popular books of all time.  It appears to be a story about a man who sexually takes advantage of a young college graduate and BDSM is the flavor of the man's sexual tastes.  It appears that at then end of the book the guy has to beat her for her to understand that they are not compatible?  Being the fourth-highest-grossing R-rated film of all-time it was released in 2015.  Here's the fun fact.  The popularity of this story about a man dominating a woman physically and sexually happens at roughly the same time as Donald Trump is running for the presidency of the United States.  This book and the movie are mega phenomena during a time of "moral outrage" against a so called "misogynistic" presidential candidate who grabs women by their pussies.

Jordan Peterson observed and noted the inconsistency:

Yeah, I don't understand it either.

Dear Roger Waters, please go start a war in your own fucking country.

I do, despite the way this letter is going to read, have a tremendous amount of respect for you.  In fact, if it weren't for you I would probably be a flaming conservative fascist asshat.

You are a genius.  You fucking bloody well know it.  Which, of course makes you arrogant.  But I gotta say you have the right to be.  There is no doubt that you were the brains behind the concept albums of Pink Floyd.  The lyrics, the messages, the poetry will be regarded as classic like that of Shakespeare.  I mean, dude, you left your mark on the consciousness of humanity.  So I am going to be really tactful here.

My problem is, is that the lyrics that you write don't seem to be all that congruent with your actions.  Ironically enough, your lyrics seem to be quite congruent with the actions of your counter part in Pink Floyd.

So when Trump got elected and you came out with your fist raised in the air and yelled, "Resist";  I am wondering what the fuck that meant.  I mean is it time to take up arms?  Is it a call to find out who these fuckers were that voted for Trump and well, invoke the final solution.  That's kind of what it looked like to me.  Do we spill blood at this point.

Being a resident of the country, it has been my experience that his time will pass just like Obama's did.  I applaud you on incorporating "Trump is a Pig" in your show.  I applaud you on voicing how much you hate Trump.  In this country you can say things like that.  You can say them loud.  Put those words in big ass fucking lights.  We call this Freedom of Speech.  Thank you for exercising it.

However, the "Resist" part, seriously, what the fuck does that mean.  If it is a call to violence for the Anti Trump people to fight the Trump people.  . . . It is almost like:

Anti Trump = Us

Trump = Them

I mean after all aren't we just ordinary men.   Maybe you could write a song about that concept except I don't think you really get it.  And if you did you better watch it. Don't end that second line with "men" because you will totally piss off the women and all the other millions of gender identities out there.  I know you totally wouldn't want to fucking do that.  (I am not being sarcastic with that last statement.)

It is almost like:

You're either for us or against us.

What thfuck!  You're fucking British aren't you?  You didn't even vote in this election and yet here you are in my fucking country inciting violence.  The issue will get solved at the polls and don't gimme this load of crap about our fucking electoral college and popular vote shit either.  We elected Obama twice with that system. Hmmm. didn't seem to be a problem then now did it?  This is exactly why the fuck we had to revolt against the British and become our own country.  You guys lost your say so 241 years ago - just sayin'

I have friends that are trump supporters and friends that hate trump just as much if not more than you do - hell, they are even residents of this country.  Yet, both groups are my friends!  None of them are stupid. None of them are racist.  And none of them want to have a civil war over it.

Could you please go the fuck back to the UK and incite a civil war there.  Seriously dude.  

Yeah, I am being harsh because I do not want to go to war with my dear friends because some asshat that isn't even a U.S. citizen is inciting the country to do so.  You are just as bad as the fucking media.  Ya know.  this kinda doesn't even concern you.  It's kinda like none of your fucking business.  jesus fucking christ.

You know?  David strikes me as the embodiment of love and unity.  You strike me as the embodiment of hate and divisiveness.  How fucking ironic.  I choose love and unity.  Think about it.  Wonder how this would have read if I weren't tactful.
