Keeping up the Habit 019

Blood drive day at American Legion hall in Shawnee, the Academy Awards, and AC/DC in concert at the Sprint Center were missed occasions yesterday while I worked.

Leonardo DiCaprio Wins His First Oscar for Best Actor in The Revenant

“Mad Max: Fury Road wins most awards of the night with six Oscars”

Supercomputer from 2001: A Space Odyssey​ was H-A-L, which is a letter off the initialism for International Business Machines, I-B-M, but hey don’t we all?

Why Do We Have Leap Year?

“Donald Trump Is Cluelessly and Hilariously Spelling Everything Wrong on Twitter Today (UPDATED)”

“And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself.’ (Luke 10:27)”

Botch-fest 037

As a rule, I have not and will not watch any of the presidential debates, whether or not that is during the primaries or the general election, if only in the most vague Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - internecine - mutually destructive.

‘I Really Wanted to Shoot the TV’

“Watch The Simpsons Skewer the 2016 Election: This Week’s Debate Was ‘Embarrassment for the Republican Party’”

“A dishonest man spreads strife, (Proverbs 16:28)
and a whisperer separates close friends.”

My oh my Gosh 035

This morning, 94.1 KFKF reminded me that they play both kinds of music,
and I invite you to complete the quote from The Blues Brothers:

Out this Year for 3DS, Pokémon Sun And Moon Confirmed

“Holden’s fate sealed as rescue deal sinks; University of Missouri curators vote to fire Melissa ‘I need some muscle’ Click”

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
For by it the people of old received their commendation. (Hebrews 11:1-3)
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God,
so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”

Clowns to the Left, Electric Boogaloo

“People Who Live in Fancy Tiny Houses are like this political Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - sylvan: of, relating to, or inhabiting the woods.”

Bernie Sanders is full of his initials. Regardless of what you, those who have nothing better to do on a Wednesday morning, think you know, taxes would be going up for everyone. When few anti-war protests held since 2009, this meme is meaningless.

“Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD (Psalms 94:12),

With apologies to Emily Dickinson

Through an episode from a television show whose name I cannot remember, I recognize this Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - supercilious: haughtily disdainful or contemptuous.

Donald Trump’s intolerable cruelty

“How I Came to My Opinion on Donald Trump: What will conservative pundits do if the GOP nominates Trump?”

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away; behold,
the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17)”

Walking on a Dream, too

In the advertising campaign for Honda Civic, and myself otherwise,
“Walking on a dream / How can I explain / Talking to myself / Will I see again”

I didn’t procrastinate, and went there to apply Thursday when I heard on Facebook that they were really needing delivery drivers. They called me today, and asked when I would like to start.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)”

Postscript to Experiment 640

Many times have I failed, when provided by Ronnie, today I contextually used his Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - apatetic: assuming colors and forms that effect deceptive camouflage.

I presented Table Topics at Bonner Springs Toastmasters tonight, “Streetcar may face one more test: union lawsuit,” and marketing for Deadpool was emphatic, and instructed parents that Deadpool should not be seen by children, so these parents need to be responsible for their own ignorance and poor parenting.

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.’ (Psalms 91:1-2)”

Summary of Improv Goals 039

While words from the Barenaked Ladies have described my activities for the last two days, “Climb the stairs to my room / Sleep away the afternoon,” and the membership the troupe last night could be a Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - passel: a group or lot of indeterminate number.

The word is Word (@ Hurricane Allies Bar And Grill in Merriam, KS) https://t.co/5daP0SlNAR

— Christopher Hurt (@chris_m_hurt) February 21, 2016

Thus it began with a game called Da Do Run Run. Only instead of a name they asked for a word. Next followed a game called War Room.

Three players were given different pieces of information which the President had to guess; who we were going to war against, why we were going to war against them, and a secret weapon by which we would defeat them.

Understudy was played, but it was played much closer to “Fainting Bodies,” as known at the Roving Imp. The half ended with a game of 185.

Honestly, I was somewhat distracted from time to time by my food, the crowd, and Georgia Tech playing on the televisions.

When they came back from break they played a game of freeze tag, which quickly became a game of keep away, as each character would handoff Whitney’s drink to the next.

“I like my Women the way I like My” was their first closing game, and the hobby mentioned was recreational use of marijuana, which quickly became “Dave’s not here, man,” as he was stopped from giving his joke, which I have since forgotten. “Sex with Me is Like” concluded with soccer as the suggestion, and Whitney had the last word.

“And let us not grow weary of doing good,
for in due season we will reap,
if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)”

As perfect a Thursday 036

Sorry, no Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - abstemious - sparing or moderate in eating and drinking, my tummy hurts, so I can’t do taxes right now.

BBC News - Yosemite ‘firefall’ has hikers transfixed

“Ford Falcon XR6 and XR8 Sprints to bring better dynamics, power boost”

“You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy; (Psalms 16:11)
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

Valentines Day 2016 Vol 2 by PixelKitties on DeviantArt

I was able to catch my friend streaming Minecraft on PS4 on Thursday night, yet I had to be to work early the next morning, and I had to pick up a friend to leave her at the bus station even earlier, so I wasn’t able to watch as much streaming Friday as he would have liked.

I will be at 2016: An ABC of IMPROV Odyssey tonight,
perhaps you would like to join me, or we could hang out afterward.

Toward flecked 011

To share articles from my Facebook feed to Twitter is the hobby I enjoy most.

This Is the Real Reason Apple Is Fighting the FBI

“Chilling ways the global economy echoes 1930s Great Depression era: QuikTrip planning to redevelop corridor of eastern Shawnee Mission Parkway”

Following the Affordable Care Act, which passed on party lines, I vowed in an expletive filled rant to never vote for a Democratic candidate again.

DNC Says Republicans are Stupid Bigots

“Voters increasingly see Sanders as electable: Wake up, Texas Democrats. You’re about to blow it.”

“My son, (Proverbs 3:11-12)
do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof,
for the LORD reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.”

A Confused Rainbow by ArtyPaints on DeviantArt

that‘s my starting issue 025

Warm temperatures, low humidity, and high winds caused a ban on burning, so I suppose I will have to wait until after 8:00 p.m. to cook this frozen pizza.

Democratic economists say Bernie Sanders’s math doesn’t add up

“Paul Krugman is now accusing Bernie Sanders of ‘deep voodoo’ economics.”

“The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. (Proverbs 10:18)”

The Difference Between Empathy and Sympathy

“What made the friendship between Scalia and Ginsburg work”

Much time has passed since I last watched Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey,
which just finished on Discovery Family Channel.

This is the one issue where Bernie Sanders is right

“How heavy metal has become the soundtrack of globalization”

Professor Denton reminds me that this blog has much potential,
and I should begin to express genuine opinion.

Divergence Eve

Not long ago, I could simply paste stories from my company to have a decent amount of content for a blog post. More importantly, I should mention a major closure will soon threaten this Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - celerity: swiftness; speed.

A word of caution to this tale, Sunday, 95^th Street, as well as the interchange with I-35, will close both directions, for the next six months while a diverging diamond interchange is constructed.

“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, (Romans 8:6)
but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”

I have some free time next Tuesday.

Opportunities for me to visit the Anime Club of Johnson County Community College have become rather infrequent, so I had an opportunity today, and I have some free time next Tuesday.

To forget community is easy, I sent Christmas greetings to a friend I had not spoken with in some time, and he contacted me a month later via text. Similarly, two of my friends with whom I used to do improvised comedy met each other at a store today randomly. I also saw two anime, one which I have heard of but not given the chance, and another I would have not known about at all.

In the past two days I have missed more than my fair share of television premieres, and television events like the Grammys, the series finale to Gravity Falls, and the season premiere for Better Call Saul.

Taylor Swift fires back at Kanye in passionate Grammys speech

“Behind the scenes at the 2016 Grammys: 5 things you didn’t see at home”

“And he asked them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’
Peter answered him, ‘You are the Christ.’(Mark 8:29)”

Clarity in the Future

Right now, the family is watching Pride & Prejudice, about which I am familiar because of a program on the Public Broadcasting System, Wishbone, to which I extend this Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - encomium: a formal expression of high praise.

Was Justice Scalia the Last Great Supreme Court Justice?

“What Would Scalia Want in His Successor? A Dissent Offers Clues”

Another old television show, Garfield and Friends, featured characters from U.S. Acres. A main character Orson the Pig once attempted to read a bedtime story to the two chicks Booker and Sheldon, who insisted that ninjas be added. Pride & Prejudice was recently victim, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies resulted in a cinematic adaptation.

Film Review: ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’

“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Jane Austen would approve of monster mashup”

I received my first paycheck in a month Friday, and I could only want to see Deadpool, although Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was released the previous week.

See Keira Knightley as ‘Deadpool’s Anti-Hero Cable

“‘Deadpool’ has two end-credits scenes — here’s what they mean for the sequel”

Saturday, I attended the Men’s Breakfast at church, where the Word of God was The Emotional Man, specifically the story of Elijah. The trials of January made the message resonate, and should provide some clarity in the future.

“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ (John 7:38)”

Postscript to Experiment 639

Though said many times, ‘Without some compromises, I can’t wear this uniform,’ yet I now work only weekdays, so I was able at attend ‘February Laser Rangers: Animated Love,’ which relates to a Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - amative: disposed to love.

‘The Shaun the Sheep​ Movie’ was much better than any advertisement would have indicated; however, How It Should Have Ended​ and Honest Trailers​ have lead me to not like ‘Frozen’​

“Then he said to me, ‘This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.’ (Zechariah 4:6)"

Despite the title, I am actually intending the inversed use of this Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - calumniate: to make false and malicious statements about; slander.

Bring the beat back 022

If one was to look back to October 2014, one would see many gaps, many days where I publish no post on my blog. These can be explained that I was working many hours those days and was not able to publish before the day was over. This was also the case Sunday when I was out with a friend, and yesterday when I was again social after a bad day at work.
