Halloween 2016

Last night when I went to visit my friend Bennigan, I was listening to my favorite radio host (he knows who he is) on 98.9 The Rock!

I recently started a job for more than what was being advertised to work for Amazon.com at The Edge of Hell, er, town...

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)

And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.”

I missed the Party 047

My friend Ronni was at an event in Kansas City North yesterday,
so I took some time to visit CarSmart where I got my current car a year ago.

The title of this post comes from a song by Justin Timberlake which will feature in Trolls, which opens next Friday, and I have no real desire to go to see.

Whirlwind weekend 030

This evening my friends and I watched Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping, which was almost as memorable as my response, “You insulted my pride,” in a manner similar to Lewis Black to a few minor inaccuracies:

• Scootaloo is not related to Rainbow Dash.
• While a fine fan page on Facebook, Apple Blossom is no sister to Applejack, rather the name is Apple Bloom.
• Yes, the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally received their cutie marks; this was on the fifth anniversary of the intial broadcast of the series to the date and day of the week.

To work just on time yesterday afternoon, I went downtown and took 71 highway, which was a good thing since an accident at 67^th Street jammed southbound I-35.

“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you,

Tuesday's Gone with the Wind, too

In my mind, ‘I hear words and clips and phrases,’

which is how the post yesterday got a title.

I was listening to Dad Rock Radio on Pandora today.

Like a week before the election in 2008 when some celebratory garbage for Obama postponed the Halloween Knight Rider episode, South Park is to play opposite the third of three presidential debates: Can You Ace the Ultimate ‘Gone with the Wind’ Quiz?

Let’s try this again: I work weekday nights at my new job, so I miss being able to spend time with my friends weekday nights.

Can’t you see how much clearer and how much better that sounds? I know, right? Yesterday so much was lost when I was dramatic and made references to previous posts.

Another friend, who has not been a friend on Facebook for a while, once said to his credit, “Bill Clinton never made BM without first checking the polls,” which continues to be a weakness for Hillary, and among opinions from The Amazing Atheist, “currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors,” when he says:

Hillary is so evil, it’s stupid; Trump is so stupid, it’s evil

I also concur with Parks yesterday when he observed how supporters of Trump are willing to ignore or discredit his accusers in the same way supporters of Bill Clinton were willing to ignore or discredit accusers of Bill Clinton in the Nineties.

Yesterday at lunch the topic only turned to the election when my friend Ronni read a post from her timeline.

Columbus Day is a federal holiday,
so I was not working last night,
and I was able to keep my promise to myself about laundry.

At Laser Rangers, we watched I Sell the Dead and Crimson Peak, the latter which starred a gentleman from Marvel’s Avengers. I also visited Josh on Sunday night and was able to give his Pokémon team a boost with a few moves from Technical Machines.

About three o’clock this morning, my intention was to fall asleep to the Pandora app on my tablet, instead, I ended up watching YouTube videos until six o’clock this morning, so I might just be sleep deprived enough to enjoy A Very Brady Sequel, and I did.

I’m hearing from all sides to not defend Donald Trump in this recently released round of comments, “But I won’t, I won’t,” yet everyone continues to defend the corrupt Clintons because we’re all supposed to vote Democrat.

Ratings do not necessarily indicate the quality or lack of quality to any given program and ratings do not account for nonlinear distribution; AMC is a basic cable channel and Discovery Family Channel may not be as common to all systems, and ‘My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic’ episodes are also available on Netflix and iTunes.

Ghosts to Festivals past

Greater Kansas City Japan Festival was held at Johnson County Community College today; I met my friend Ben, and attended as a patron, and not an employee who has to work the whole day and doesn’t get to experience events.

In the food court I enjoyed beef curry, took a look at many of the activities happening across campus, and was moved by a performance from Aya Uchida. I would have stayed longer but I’d been up until 2 o’clock in the morning.
