Giants of our own Talk

Tuesday morning, this title was on the border of my waking mind.

Luna by SkyFlyer206

It’s “Born on the Bayou,” not Oksana Baiul, so stop singing that and realize that you and she are the same age as is Chelsea Clinton ... I talk to myself a lot as if someone else was there, “You Got What You See First In These Images Will Determine If You’re An Optimist Or A Pessimist: Optimist!”

“Politics is just about virtue signaling for or against Trump now,” so how about cynical, I wonder to which political party that Recording Academy gives loyalty, but at least she’s not reading her book on the air:

“Hillary Clinton reads excerpt from 'Fire and Fury' at Grammys, Nikki Haley Smacks Down Hillary Clinton for Her Grammys Stunt !”

“The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. (Exodus 15:2)”

Web wanderings 048

“I don’t know where I’m going / But, I sure know where I’ve been,”
when I looked for a source to an image on Facebook.

Part of a series, which I had seen somewhere on my blog, “DJ Passed Out on the Floor,” was inspired by “Last Friday Night” by Katy Perry. Results from the search included “Summary of Improv Goals 024” and brought back memories.

Also, this morning, “Triple Threat” reminds me to imagine how things could go right more than how things could go wrong, and “Campfire Tales” shows something The Walking Dead was unwilling or unable to do,

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic incorported characters from their comic books in their televised program, so My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the better of the two shows despite what I’d said earlier.

“that I may know him and the power of his resurrection,
and may share his sufferings, (Philippians 3:10-11)

“I’m not 100% myself,” was something I had to admit at work on Saturday,
and observed the following on Sunday night:

The closest IHOP to Josh is the closest IHOP to me, and for the exception of the kitchen staff and the lone server on the floor, I think the rest of the people there work about as hard as a bucket of apples.

“And Joshua said to them, ‘Do not be afraid or dismayed;
be strong and courageous. (Joshua 10:25)
For thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.’”

“I’m tellin’ you / That science has proven, ‘It's impossible to be unhappy in a poncho.’ Going to be colder next week, so are you going to wear those color-coordinated poof-ball hats again, because that would be adorable,” and I thought I knew on which hand she was counting down.

The Best Night Ever 2: Electric Boogaloo

If you know what I mean,
I need to post something about Fury,
so I received some good word about W-O-R-K, work:

The woman to the left of me, as instructional and helpful as she can be, has a new mission to get me to stop opening and closing the drawer each time to get a rubber band. Just like old times, we are going to be able to work an hour early so overtime does not have to occur exclusively on the weekend. I’m going to have to say that I might have had a breakthrough today and my production might finally begin to increase.

“He gives power to the faint, (Isaiah 40:29)
and to him who has no might, he increases strength.”

Sci-Twi by Jumble Horse

Despite my “Optimal Situation,” a question has long lingered and at last is resolved. “Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it. I am sure that we shall never forget The Girl Next Door,” one week from Thursday when she leaves for her new job, “It’s time to bring this ship into the shore / And throw away the oars, forever.”

(I’ve got to be honest / I think you know / You’re a god
/ And I am not / And I just thought I’d let you go.)

When I greeted him thusly, “‘Hey’ is for horses,” said the former significant other of The Girl Next Door to me, which he followed with something about people; I don’t remember.

I also don’t remember what I was searching for but “Stale zaniness 019” resulted and I was reminded, “Christopher, ... you have ALWAYS been kind, understanding, generous of heart and humorous in our correspondence and discussions. YOU have integrity, faith, a standard of kindness to all people and honestly... I think you remind people to be kind, period,” which was days before she unfriended me those six years ago. A comment today on “Rage your Dream” suggests, “Your desire to be seen as clever is only outstripped by your need to be alpha. Grow up,” ouch.

“What Went Wrong In Hawaii, Human Error? Nope, Bad Design”

Since my nose continues to run like a siphon,
“Olympic Détente Upends U.S. Strategy on North Korea,”
and I’ve almost forgotten how long I’ve been fighting this:

For the week after Christmas, I actually got along with my sister, until she suggested for me to search YouTube for instructional videos on how to blow my nose. Later on, New Year’s Day, when she was trying to complain the benefits of Pinterest to my father, I shouted from the other room, “Pinterest is for chicks!”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,

though the mountains tremble at its swelling.”

Yes, I volunteered to work tomorrow, if I work Saturday I will be paid at time and a half.

Seriously, I try keeping up the habit daily, yet this month is looking like Ocotber 2014, ... filling all those holes (Giggity).

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

A friend on Facebook shared the following about Martin Luther King Jr Day:

“I don’t celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day, but I do recognize a man who put his life on the line for a cause he truly believed in. He’s a hero to some for this reason. I see him as an African American man who wanted to be treated equally and he fought for that change. Well, Mr. King, we haven’t gotten to the mountaintop yet and it’s 2018. One day, just one day we might muster up the mental strength if we figure out that we all need each other to achieve that milestone.

April 4, 1968. This day is my oldest siblings birthday. I don’t think they ever really celebrated their birthday for this reason. Just 7 years old at the time. It was a scary time then and it’s scary times now. We’ve got to do better. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Continue to rest, you did your best. It’s time for the US to step up and fix this mess.”

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD
plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)”

I Can See a Rainbow by dawnf1re

It’s a good question, again

After the raw drama of Fury, Laser Rangers watched What did You do in the War, Daddy?, a farce set during the capture of Palermo, Sicily. While a welcome relief, the film had more runtime and secondary plots than necessary.

“Be strong and courageous. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
Do not fear or be in dread of them,
for it is the LORD your God who goes with you.
He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Got to get the Bread and Milk

I’m pretty tired, but I got to get the bread and milk ahead of the storm tomorrow; I meant windshield wiper blades and socks

Perhaps the precipitation will have ceased by the time I’m supposed to go to work, but that doesn’t mean anything will be ready, “Remember, where you’re going, there are no roads,” and I have resisted going to bed thus far; I didn’t leave myself enough time to install the new wiper blades, and the windscreen was kept warm enough for it to not matter.

Before I went to the Walmart, I went to Denny’s, yet I’m going to try to ignore the people at the other table. Funny how they fell silent as soon as their pancakes arrived, while one of them was telling another “shut up,” and that’s all I’ve been screaming in my mind! “People these days don’t know where Czechoslovakia is on a map,” yeah, since those have been two separate countries for twenty-five years!

Approaching the self-checkout, a previous customer completed his story to the clerk, and I responded after he departed:

I don’t know what he’s talking about. I have no plans to help Stacey tomorrow at all. My name is Chris by the way.

“to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,
and to put on the new self, (Ephesians 4:22-24)
created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

“Hollow Pursuits” resonated with me; I can be strongly sensitive to being rebuffed, yet I should accept, “It’s Tuesday, That sucks!”

Ich wünschte, dass es Sonntag sein Würde

Yes, today was the first Monday I have worked for three weeks, and many colleagues had to reinstall printers and restore shortcuts to desktops since some updates were applied over the weekend.

„Ich wünsche, dass es Sonntag sein würde, wenn es mein Tag ist, um Spaß zu machen“

Most of the ladies with whom I speak are twenty years older than I am. One of these ladies has had the great misfortune of having to sit left from me for fourteen months.

Other than my chair, I don’t have anywhere to put my coat, so I use the box-storage rack behind me. When someone came by today take to move the rack, he called me, ‘sir.’

My colleague quickly reminded me that a manchild like me should not expect nor should be addressed thusly.

I’m suddenly feeling inclined to create a dating profile wherein I refer to myself as a man-child and say, “I’m a baby looking for a momma,” sounding like something from Springer.

“You like these socks? They are genuine argyle,” would be how the joke was generally delivered, yet I asked The Girl Next Door, “What footwear is made from a marine reptile?”

“Crocs?” she responded, which completely threw me. I was trying for Argyle, as in an alligator. Oh, well, I do not consider this a defeat, ending the day better than it began.

Having made no other plans to get together tomorrow, the Kansas City Chiefs have a playoff game at 3:30 and a friend (and daughter of a dearly departed friend) tends bar at the Do Drop Inn.

The Best Night Ever

“Everything changed in January,” and that Word of the Day from Dictionary.com - auld lang syne - Scot. and North England. old times, especially times fondly... was eight years ago.

Well, today began as kind of a misfire. I had agreed to fast for a blood test this morning, but after I woke up briefly, I couldn’t sleep for an hour and had to wait another hour just to call to cancel the appointment and ask for something to be written so I could just go to LabCorp, which I should have requested yesterday when they called.

Breaks and lunch will be earlier to align with another team whose processes complement our own; an optimal situation for me since I rarely hit my stride until after lunch. “And if you’re interested in lunch,” someone’s thermos loudly popped some soup on to the ceiling, rather hilarious once we found out what had happened and no one was injured.

Since I was tired and taking a friend to her workplace, I had no time to run back for the lab order, which will be left at LabCorp by a tenacious person at the medical office who was trying to reach me all day.

.: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018:. by mlp and eqg

Damn it, Barb.

Since I had last seen my friends Jessica and Aaron, much time had passed. Qdoba was a great place to catch up, although an early morning caused Aaron to decide against going to Pinstripes, where a friend of Jessica met us after work and after she was able to go home to sleep for a few hours.

I had meticulously searched my photos to see exactly when I had gone to Baron BMW for the premiere event for their 5-Series GT, eight years ago.

She said to me condescendingly, “You last had champagne tonight,” and she was hilariously correct.

This scene had played out nothing like “Summary of Improv Goals 040,” so I said something to myself, something from the Rooster Teeth community, “Damn it, Barb. | RWBY | Know Your Meme”
