"I'm not the nicest person in the universe, because I'm the smartest and 'nice'
is just something stupid people do to hedge their bets."

wire fraud and the hydra

I'm not certain what one can purchase from bein sports,

but someone wanted it badly enough to use one of my cc's without permission.



The City is shiny and tantalizing when you arrive:


parasitic, demeaning, & cancerous when you stay...


then erupts with mad, flailing, vengeance when you when you leave.

all the cards come out

everything is has on you

all flies at you at once


when you finally have a plan, a means to leave.


Because it knows.

It knows it is no longer sly enough.

It knows it no longer has you fooled.

Providence has given you a means.

Your debtors have given you absolution.


It has taken more than its share.

And it may a drop more...it doesn't know how to stop.

it is just an empty belly.


So....it is desperate.

It knows it cannot stop you

From saying



goodbye.

Blasphemy.

My mother just asked me if McDonald's or Wendy's has breakfast tacos.

I think I might cry.

someone is hiring people

to kill people.

Lee Highway

 From I-81

 in New Market, VA.

 Exit

 head east

 turn left onto 11

 then right onto Route 211

 which, at that point, is called "Lee Highway".

 An exciting drive...even in a 4cyl family car

 (albeit with a with manual transmission).

 The gap will eventually get you to the Thornton gap

 the Skyline Drive...


 some lovely drives there are in Virginia.

Geek pride.

When you hand your mobile device to the repair person and the say, "ooh, this is cool".

sweat is Truth.

truth is beauty.

Sweat is beautiful.

That unfortunate moment when you show up for a call and three other people are wearing the same color button down as you.

Kate Tempest - Ballad of a Hero (& others)

“If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason,

  then all possibility of life is destroyed."

― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

"Some people feel like they don’t deserve love.

They walk away quietly into empty spaces trying to close the gaps of the past."

Revision

I feel the need to go back in time to 2015 and tell British children
that Ella Eyre didn't make "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off".


I think I like, really want to do that.


In real life.

The Swan & The Lake - Silent Morning Joy

A Secret Letter to the World Left Unfinished

I am currently in the process of the yearly cleaning...

And, without announcing it, also letting go...

As part of the progression to Life's next phase.

In doing so, I am finally getting rid of some things from over a decade of accumulation,

over a decade old: from when I first came to this particular over-populated spot on the giant mudball called (here),

with my name and face on them.

And it's a much younger face.

to me.


And I felt

(sigh)

a "way"?


A lump?


Regret?


Resolution?


Or) All of the above.

You Don't Know Jack

that moment when you suddenly realize the similarity


and possible correlation


between "Joachim",

(its variants),

and "Hakim".

you make me feel mighty (slow)
