Whatcha doin’ New Year’s?

With it, we bless our Lord and Father, and with it,
we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.

That‘s too early; whom I owe a redo, my friend Bennigan would like to go to see ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,’ which is guaranteed to happen today, but where will I go after that, Bojo’s Bar?

My brothers, (James 3:9-10)

There’s not much time left today.
I’m waking up from nine hours of sleep, which contrasts yesterday when I went to bed at four in the morning and woke up around ten and not take any more time to sleep after that.
I ran some errands with a friend yesterday and made myself late for work, yet my work day was very positive and affirming and I learned at least three things.
To get through the checkout line took a little longer than expected, and I forgot to set up a new PIN on my new card, my friend need to be taken home, but I did get a  present my sister has been requesting.

On such a Winter’s day

As early as 2 o’clock yesterday morning, I was confirming plans with my friend Bennigan to go to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and enjoy Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que later. My better judgment won out, and I canceled the tickets at 9 o’clock; I just couldn’t risk possibly damaging my car.

Humor vampirism 029

I’m a bit drunk, but the kind that Sheryl Crow describes in “Everyday is a Winding Road.” Friends tell me I have an old soul, which I think means I understand a few things before my time, and a co-worker would also take note after she told me a joke.
“But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise;
God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

The Hill Family lived in the hills, in the mountains, say Appalachia, and the father in the family is Roy, Roy Hill. Roy saved a very long time to buy himself a fancy pair of shoes. Left out on the porch one day, the shoes were to torn to pieces by a roaming bobcat.

Couple nights later, Roy and Mrs. Hill were sitting on their porch when Mrs. Hill sees what sounds like a bobcat in the woods and asks, “Pardon me, Roy, is that the cat who chewed your new shoes?”
God chose what is low and despised in the world,
even things that are not, (1 Corinthians 1:27-29)
to bring to nothing things that are,
If you say that musically to the chorus from ‘Chattanooga Choo Choo,’ the joke is a lot more funny. I didn’t get a chance to really say how I knew that song, but I suspect the fact that I grew up with a lot of PBS and a show called ‘Shining Time Station,’ which featured ‘Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends,’ had something to do with that.

More recently it was ‘Family Guy,’ where Lois and Peter went to see KISS in concert, Lois gets the words wrong to ‘Rock And Roll All Nite,’ so half the band loses faith in humanity and leaves the stage, and the remaining two begin to sing ‘Chattanooga Choo Choo.’
so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.”

It’s a good question

Another friend recently asked, “So, did you have a ‘fear of missing out (FOMO)’?”
I had to look at that in the context of the conversation and I did instead of watching Lights bein’ lit near thee, Kansas Speedway. When I saw the new episode of ‘South Park’ was airing again about 2:30 this morning I couldn’t help but watch even though I was recording it to DVR, and I might be right about that plot after all.
“Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Joshua 22:5)”

Need to red dress some Issues

Print what you like, the temperature  overnight was around 50 degrees, so I had the fan in my room on in order to sleep. I sometimes wake up for short periods and somewhere between 6 this morning and 9 this morning, I had similar dreams
  • The first dream was sometime before 6 this morning where everywhere I turned at home I was month by neighbors I didn’t even know I had, and I was not able to dial the emergency number because the phone menu was suddenly incomprehensible
  • The second dream I had to repeat a numerical sequence, but I don’t remember the context
  • Finally, I was in a class where I was required to not use puns to write a creative work inspired by faith, and I was given a word of advice which I can only conclude an acronym- - R.I.O.T it out
“Instead of your shame, there shall be a double portion;
instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land, (Isaiah 61:7)
they shall possess a double portion;
they shall have everlasting joy.”

Whirlwind weekend 032

While I might not discuss politics on Facebook,
I was visiting my friend Josh two weeks ago and we did.
He’d seen a segment on ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ about the presidential candidates in the Libertarian Party and the Green Party; he didn’t really like Clinton or Trump, but he didn’t like the alternatives either, so he chose not to vote.

Mentally I could only respond, “That is a lucid, intelligent, well-thought-out objection.” Yesterday, I treated my father and sister to Chinese lunch, which the little I made Sunday can offset, yet with diminishing returns I don’t want to work at the new pizza place.
“And calling the crowd to him with his disciples,
he said to them, ‘If anyone would come after me,
let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
For whoever would save his life will lose it, (Mark 8:34-35)
but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.’”

Bringing down the Landslide, part 5

The title of this post is only somewhat deceptive, unlike the electoral subterfuge currently underway, and I-I mean the opposite of what is expressed by Stevie Nicks; I do not intend to let a landslide of emotion Bring Me Down, but rather to take down or counter such effects.
I get weak when you’re next to me, and when I haven’t eaten enough. I observed how critical this was on Monday. Seriously, some days I’ll have something at 11 or noon and then not substantial until probably 6 o’clock or later when my lunch break is at work.

Gobbled up 1/2 price single-patty Cheeseburgers Tuesday at Sonic Drive-In, twice actually before work. I did all right Wednesday because people brought things to celebrate our manager’s birthday. Evening on Thanksgiving, I could only go to bed.
From a book by Susan Jacoby on anti-intellectualism,
Video culture has triumphed over print culture,” I once read on audio cd.
Friday is the day trash is collected in my neighborhood, and-and Thanksgiving has delayed this until Saturday. I take the trash out at 2 in the morning so I don’t have to at 6 in the morning, and today I was awake at 5 in the morning because I watched YouTube.
I have to be sure I am well liked,
a primary motivator for my adoption of these rules,
so I talk no politics on Facebook:
Equestria Girls - Fluttershy
EQG-Fluttershy by rainbownspeedash on DeviantArt
  1. Politics is not considered polite conversation.
  2. I do not know enough about the issues to discuss them calmly or avoid ad hominem.
  3. I am on the opposite side of the debate on most issues.
  4. I do not like being wrong or being made a fool.
  5. I would rather keep friends and be respectful.
I am recovering from some minor embarrassment.
There was a video shared to Facebook about how to evaluate a story, whether or not it is fake news. I saw the video and the very next day I shared a fake story to Twitter, which I admitted to my friend who had shared with a fake story and the video.
Can we say the power of mainstream media is diminished when I see friends concerned
Stories being put forth by the mainstream media whose power was certainly diminished when Clinton was defeated, huh?
“Oh give thanks to the LORD;
call upon his name; (Psalms 105:1)
make known his deeds among the peoples!”
