White Shoes after Labor Day

On Tuesdays, they seem to initiate road construction,
and such will be the case the day after Labor Day.
There was construction on my birthday and to travel the necessary distance to merge left took nine minutes at less than five miles per hour.
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, (Galatians 5:16-17)
and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit,
and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh,
for these are opposed to each other,
to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”

The Angel of Usui

While I might find inspiration therein, I did some disservice to my friends when sharing music videos the week before last.
In the Vegas sense,” I applied for an internal position and my second week of training is going well today.
By Chilu, “Get It All Right,” the opening theme for Initial D: Extra Stage
“focuses on Impact Blue’s dynamic duo of Mako and Sayuki.”

You left a piece out,” when I searching to confirm the title of their episode “The Angel of Usui,” and I never suspected my title contained the last name of their founder.

Lamentations of a sea cucumber

The title of this post makes reference to last night’s new episode of Rick and Morty, about which I have thoughts:
In my mind exists a more detailed list. Suffice to say, we can be surprised by what we can do once we remove negative beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and attitudes. Always remember your safe word!

and to the steadfastness of Christ. (2 Thessalonians 3:5)”

Kawaii is not by Maui

The Subaru WRX from Baby Driver Just Sold for $69,100,” so “Drift Away,” a song by Dobie Gray, has new meaning for me, although friends have not appreciated my comments.
“The Wind Beneath My Wings” and “From a Distance” are the only songs I know of your artist, so try something more energetic, infectious, “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - Deja Vu (Initial D),” or “NANI?! AKAI WRX?! (Baby Driver with Eurobeat) - ORIGINAL,” and John is never going to stop, so “m.o.v.e / Rage your dream,” John.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith,
as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’”

A careful viewer knows this could be an episode in two parts, around twenty minutes in. Dewey was the definitive breakout character, along with David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck. This series draws more from the comic, yet keeps aspects of the original show which aired thirty years ago. If you remember The Disney Afternoon, you will recognize some places mentioned in the first five minutes, and the garage contains Easter Eggs!

Botch-fest 039

Every Thursday, Hurricane Allie’s has wings for 75 cents each, and I’m watching FOX 4 News Kansas City at noon.
John Pepitone reported, “KC Parks Board to consider removing Daughters of Confederacy monument,” so a blathering blatherskite is going to make it everyone’s problem. What could possibly go wrong?
Secondarily, I was wrong about where I had to sit on Wednesday at work.
The lighting is actually really good there, and my perception of the lighting suddenly becoming brighter on Monday mean something about my hypertension or diabetes.

One of those nights ...

“One of those nights, one of those crazy old nights,” was how I misquoted The Eagles yesterday, not a good day at work.
As reviewed, one-quarter to one-third of my production had errors, notwithstanding my printer quit so I had to move to a dimly lit cubicle and I had had no caffeine, a substance which seems to be essential to function closer to quota.

An offer that I cannot refuse 033

At work, the day seemed to pass slowly, so I welcomed, “Hey if you have time after work we should get food! I’m off because of my trip I wanna tell you about it!”
One Day, Many Years From Now, Total Solar Eclipses Will No Longer Be Possible,” so Josh and I met at Jack in the Box, where we spontaneously met Travis and Scott with whom Josh has been working on an anthology of films. Anime Zone does not have a store, so Josh got a custom tee shirt made for my belated birthday: this message is on both sides, and Konata is on the back!

Toward flecked 014, Clouds in your Covfefe?

“I feel the need to punch Nazis like I was Captain America,” boasts a friend on Facebook after he changed his profile picture to the character.
My friend habitually reacts this way, so I responded, “No, you’re thinking violence is the answer to a perceived injustice which has nothing to do with you,” and Cadence, no longer a Brony page, had this to say:
“Incoming post about punching Nazis, feel free to skip over if you’re not interested:

My main problem with this ‘Punching Nazis is always okay’ idea is that anyone can label anyone a Nazi and they can be assaulted.


There’s a video on Youtube of a guy going up to some protesters to ask them questions (not to antagonize but to hear their point of view). The protestor girl takes offense at something he says, and loudly calls him a Nazi. Some dude comes from off-camera and says ‘Wait, who’s a Nazi?’ The girl points at the cameraman and the guy turns and punches the cameraman in the face.

I really don’t like this, because it can reach a point where anyone can label someone they disagree with a Nazi, and now someone (like the guy in the video) will just up and punch them.


You?
Me?
The person holding the sign, who calls someone who doesn’t share their point of view a Nazi?

Yes, I know

The skinheads and Klan members all deserve a punch for promoting hatred and violence against others based on such petty things.

But, I’m talking more about the situation I described

Nowadays, people throw the term Nazi around very loosely. It’s used to describe people who don’t fit the definition, sometimes by people just to garner support.

‘Don’t agree with me? You’re a Nazi!’

There are lots of situations where people will be calling others Nazis, based on opinion, rather than fact.

If we make an environment where people say ‘Oh, don’t worry about that guy I just knocked out cold, he was a Nazi!’, then I see it getting very out of hand, especially in the current political environment, where everyone is clashing with everyone

I see a lot of people (on the left and right) calling others Nazis.

The right usually goes ‘Those leftists are taking away our freedom of speech! That’s no different from the Nazis!’ (‘Freedom of speech’ can refer to a number of things, depending on what’s being discussed)

The left tends to say stuff like ‘The right is a bunch of Nazis because I don’t agree with their stance on this issue.’ (‘their stance’ can vary, again, depending on the subject)

I DO agree with the idea that Nazis have absolutely no place in American society. Heck, Nazis and people who followed their belief killed my grandmother’s family in the Holocaust. I feel nothing but anger and scorn for anyone who shares the same ideas as Adolf Hitler and wishes to uphold them in today’s world.

But at the same time, I’m just questioning whether or not we should let this idea of allowing people to punch those they deem Nazis be hailed as a great thing.

Let me make it clear that I’m not defending the people who have swastikas tattooed on their bodies. I’m not saying that the skinhead with the Confederate flag flying over his house is right in his beliefs.

I’m just acknowledging the fact that there are a lot of people out there who blindly apply the term ‘Nazi’ to people they disagree with (again, NOT the skinhead racists, but people who have an opposing opinion, and not necessarily a racist one) and I’m questioning if this is a good idea.

I just don’t see it as a good thing, because it can be abused so easily.”

Quagmire sans Toupee

Often my blog is like a daily newspaper. In fact, yesterday was my birthday, so I should have first gone to Jazz, A Louisiana Kitchen in Kansas City, then gone to get a haircut; instead, I ended up driving around for forty-five minutes to three different places in northeastern Johnson Country and none had available parking.
Last night I went to a Denny’s. I’m not sure if I dislike these young people because I know only one in five songs with which they are singing along - - someone just used her first name as an adjective. I must concede if someone can have ‘Betty Davis’ eyes, then someone can have an ‘Emily’ smile.

Too many mornings, I’ve been awake until four in the morning, so I have no time to blog before I go to work, and no desire to blog once I return home.
