Q: I'm trying to branch out from making money into finding a woman. I do acoustical testing on speaker enclosures that are used to amplify measuring instruments in the mining industry. I have a car.
A: You really want to impress a woman? I see you are down on damn near everything. Take her out, buy her drinks, buy nice trivialities.
A lot of women are golddiggers and sometimes it happens quickly if guys put women on the back burner she'll find a man who will pay her way, even if she isn't even up for it.
Or how about getting your paper up?-- buy little gifts for her-- but it gets expensive. So it might mean you have to not worry about getting women, worry about getting prioritized. Along the way you will meet some more important girl who is also trying to get successful.
You can finally buy that car that you want. Don't worry about getting women, worry about starting up with a woman who has money, she can pay for all her own trivialities.
many individuals could contribute
to all that authors a child
in the guidance for the children
in the richness of childhood
in the formation of the adult
and served in the kitchens
and all places are alike
and lost therein and cast away
by the ocean wave
stay in the circle
with those children holding hands
It was a bad idea which we distinctly did not order.
With our game faces and pounding fists.
The idea was a beached jellyfish.
I'll be beating the first here to say that was more fun.
Kindness can't be confused nor newly to blame for the unhinged times.
Dollar after dollar to unhinge perceptions but leave us understand it is the source of it which is not real.
But even such an amazing source as...?
Not real.
Lyric from Sweet Lucy (by Michael Hurley): When we left, it was cold/ each other's hands we had to hold.
I was always in love with the GTO Miss Lucy. She died of AIDS in 1991. So I've been in love with a dead woman for 20 years. She ran a rancid boutique in 200 Motels. God, that is fucking depressing.
How many people can be seen falling down in the opening sequence of A Hard Day's Night? I counted 3, two were Ringo and George. And then there's one anonymous person who falls down as the crowd runs into the train station. So no real omens there.
I noticed that the homeless girl had a new pair of boots yesterday. Wonder how she got them? First thing I think is: she broke down and asked her parents for some $$$$. I just "pretend" think that, I don't really want to really know. I had a pack of cigarettes to give away but I couldn't find her so I gave it to someone else.
If you have been following indie music for the last couple decades you probably know who is Gerard Croiset. After he made his fortune promoting such underground bands as Nuggledump and The Parch Divide into well-known stars his financial success allowed him to pursue world travel and invest in real estate. He dedicated himself to exotic hobbies like cultivating orchids and plants linked to witchcraft such as: monkshood, wolfbane, blue datura, peyote, cannabis and snakeroot.
"Snakeroot" is a common slang name for Rauwolfia Serpentina. It contains Reserpine, an indole alkaloid administered for the relief of psychotic symptoms. The actual, officially recognized name of Snakeroot is applied to a different plant entirely, Ageratina Altissima, which is known by the common slang names White Sanicle or Tall Boneset. It is a poisonous herb.
We must be careful in this regard. Do not confuse Snakewood with "Snakewood". Is it true to survive we all need to be much like Gerard Croiset? Can we be an Argus 24-hours-a-day, to some degree, to be an alert watchful guardian whether we're watching music or two herbs with the same nickname, one of which is poisonous? That is Argus, by the way-- mark that, it is not to be confused with Argosy. Argosy was the first American pulp magazine, it started about 1896.
When it comes to taste we don't much care for intruders. Exactly for reasons never explained our society has been remaining through the passing centuries and never conquered. Also, they don't much explains how to find a valley untouched by the passing centuries. Time is still ruled by descendants of Rodwin yet neither Ruth nor Godwin is ruled by descendants. Will our mind (or, as it is commmonly known, The Metal Monster) find such a place in the midst of traveling? Ah! But there is someone to help us: The Argus!-- or The Guardians who can be like The Metal Monsters, the guys who go out there and take the heat from the crowd. And god bless them I didn't know what I thought or wasn't sure about how I felt until they let me know.
Another show that I've been really enjoying-- since the beginning (even)-- is "Workaholics." Don't know what to say, just like the humor and the way the three guys interact. The kids give me hope for the future of this country. Also, I always like these kinds of shows and stories about groups of male friends, like "The Hangover" or "Office Space" or "Half Baked" &c.
This is because I've never really had close friends like that. I've literally always been doing music. If ever I had made some friends-- like, say, from my basketball team, sooner or later I'd try to get everybody to start a band. Just really irritating and desperate. Yes, I have all of the bossy, cold, aloof pretensions of Ders plus the annoying side of Blake minus Blake's sweetness, empathy and excessive masturbation. Sad. But it is nice to see all the bad sides reconfigured into these three friends in such a way that makes me feel like I could have been an OK dude if things had gone in another direction.
Another cool thing about the show is that the theme song for "Workaholics" is "Jock Box" by The Skinny Boys. Here are the Skinny Boys with "Rip the Cut"--->
Great music brings an oblivion that can't be seen, can't be described-- but it always ends and the remnant glow of that experience should be applied pragmatically to the material world, rather than serve as a source of addictive escapism, a hit that needs to be chased while the rest of life glides by.
The Skinny Boys were influenced by the much more prominent hip hop pioneers The Fat Boys; The Human Jock Box was influenced by The Fat Boys' member Human Beat Box.
Skinny guys often have a difficult time building muscle. You may have been deemed "scrawny" by others or even used the words when describing yourself. One of the quickest ways for you to shed your skinny-boy image is to bulk up your chest to add shape to your upper body.
I'm not what you'd call a zombie/slasher movie fanatic. I'm not into "Saw" or "The Joshua Tree" or "Dead Snow" or "House of Wax" or what have you. What I am a fan of is addictive tv shows where a story gets dragged out for 40 minutes once a week and you can't stop watching. After avoiding it for over a year I finally started watching "The Walking Dead" and it is very addictive.
A lot has been written already about the show, a lot of speculative and wondrous pieces have been written about the meaning of this show. For me, I think the most beautiful lesson one can take away from the metaphor of a show like this is DO NOT get caught down in the South during a zombie apocalypse. Beyond the obvious dangers of the zombies themselves you've got to contend with gas guzzling RVs, hunting accidents, crossbows, wife-beaters, racist meth addicts, and people wanting to have "fish frys" all the time. You're likely to wind up camped on some plantation somewheres getting ordered about by Colonel Sanders while your group gets picked off one-by-one. Not to mention the awful humidity.
Oh, fatal day - oh, day of sorrow,
It was no trouble she could borrow;
But in the future she could see
The clouds of infelicity.
I really liked the scene where T-dog was getting cigs out of the glove compartment of a wrecked car and he looked at the child seat in the back that had a little duckie rattle on it and it was all lightly splattered in blood and brains. That was scary and sad. I like the show a lot but it does tend to creep along at a real slow pace, not unlike one of their own lurching zombies, what they call walkers. And overall, however, sometimes the writing can be a little sloppy:
"I'm wearing my wedding ring," said Rick with abandon.
"They chewed both of Amy's legs up all the way to the ankles," said Andrea defeatedly.
"I might as well be dead," Otis croaked.
In wild grace he meets her and holds her briefly. The woman, being an illegitimate child, has been exiled and lives a feral life far from the death sentence which awaits her. Full of shame, he turns her in to the church.
Then follows a lengthy story about being exiled in the forest. That story is flooded with atmosphere while doing little to move along the main plot. But as he hears the story at first he is relieved that The Devil prevented her final repentance but then he finds out The Devil is the woman that he had raped, not her.
This is an important development for it is this telling that prevents her truthful repentance at the hands of the tortured nuns.
He is entranced by The Devil telling this lengthy story. Then that story is exiled and lives a feral life far from the plot. He searches for a more romantic plot in which he had not raped. This is an important development. But there arises nothing more than a brief, sinful meeting and an illegitimate child. He has set out to meet her, has done so, but only ends by holding her bleeding in the forest, again.
He has a monk find out that The Devil is the woman he is entranced by. The Devil claims that there does exist a lengthy romantic plot in which, in truth, he had not raped. But her forced repentance at the hands of the tortured nuns prevented this final telling.
Unacceptable noises. We do not plan to mention them, chiefly because they are unmentionable, but you all know what they are. At any rate, these are noises that are acknowledged by neither the noisemaker nor the noise recipient, because socially they do not exist. In the case of a fart, there is a conspiracy amongst us all that it simply never happened.
If we were at a party and a woman slipped and fell and got food all over herself should she just be ignored, the same way as if she'd farted? Any time you do a trick like that without exposing your boobs you will be hissed at until you flash them animals or leave with shame.
Any time you pull a trick like that without understanding that you're exposing everything it is clear you do not plan to mention them, these unacceptable noises. We noise recipients are also unmentionable, socially we do not exist.
And that's the difference between farts and accidents.
If you can't make big changes try to make small ones. A suggestion that many people can follow would be always to clean the lint filter out in any publicly shared clothes dryer that one might use. Clean it out before use, if needed, and after use.
The word "lint" is derived from the architectural term "lintel" which is a support over windows often found over portals, doors, and ornamented structural items. It is an architectural element or a combined building component. A decorative lintel can be load-bearing for doors.
Thus "lint", this smallest of insignificant elements, this barely visible accumulation of textile fibers, can be a part of a "load bearing" building block in a succession of small gestures that can be exercised without the guilt nor selfishness usually associated with charitable acts. This act is something you can lend to people.
The word "lend" derives from the word "lent" which is a period of repentance, almsgiving and self-denial that corresponds to the forty days and nights Elijah spent walking to Mount Horeb. Lent itself is built upon, and historically preceded by, traditional pagan spring carnival celebrations such as Mardi Gras or Chienbäse. Baptists and Mennonites don't recognize Lent.
So, then, what is the next move for the Confederacy as they attempt to overthrow our Republic? They have a "White Knight" problem and that is of a greater heft than their cumulative efforts so far; in fact, that effort works against them to a degree inversely proportional to their investment in it without the "White Knight" as its apotheosis. Who can successfully conceal their intentions?
First, let's look at the X factors. A start-up or a multinational corporation, whatever is the organization, whether it's a sports team, an invisible fund, or some other words-- what does it take to lead and when the time comes get that office? So what will determine who gets the next week of undefined energy and focus? They continually face trade-offs in time and an increasingly fragmented job where centuries of changes have played many roles, as multiple stakeholders have attempted to partner against them in arrangements which have taken power from markets and flat organizations.
Through the challenges ahead their CEO will need to possess a varied set of credentials, as well as the ability to guide prudently at this time as if they are someone who intimately understands the history of professional "Kingsmanship." The new multitude of professional political factions are like the judges in tennis and it would be wise to tap a "tennis insider." Industry "knowledge" is simple marketing but experience will also be critical as they move forward.
Does the new CEO need diplomatic skills? Management can actually be much better and should be much better if they say: "I'm going to destabilize things, even though things are not broken, because there's a risk it could take away one of the marketing schemes that I need to characterize my fear as seeing an opportunity rather than as simple fear." But unless a large majority fear the precise and identical thing this is not a wise strategy.
Opportunities, fear....another common trait in successful CEOs is not being afraid of situations well beyond their ability to synthesize or to connect dots. Simple untapped fears in the Internet era, where information is easily accessible, can no longer fulfill every aspect of presentation.
Paid opinion centers itself around retrieving the old structure while hyper-specializing the understanding of individual rights.
We're expected to apply rights only to the classes perched upon the lower classes. Ironically, a set of laws and institutional structures were created within the luxury of the slave state, structures that preserved certain freedoms and opportunities. But the laws have persisted beyond the class system and its upper limit.
This is what is happening now and in the USA we have the unique dynamic of a formerly slave-driven economy and culture forced (after more than 150 years) to finally confront pragmatic clarity relative to its own murky and oppressive recent past.
Cultures and regimes that glorified and enforced rural structures and philosophies have been among the most destructive, and that resembles this dawning notion in "our own time"-- and this has occurred in every time, so that occasional generations throughout history have had these moments, as have all previous cultures which moved towards civilization as cities began to be the engines of pragmatism which led to durability. As in these same engines of the pragmatic, our laws persist and we have the unique and therefore most dynamic of anti-rural opportunities.
NEW YORK (AP)-- NBA labor talks stretched into the wee hours Wednesday morning as players and owners met with a federal mediator, hoping to deliver the progress Commissioner David Stern says is needed to avoid canceling more games.
Both sides met for more than 14 hours, their longest negotiating session since owners locked out players when the old collective bargaining agreement expired June 30.
The talks started about 10 a.m. Tuesday, the 110th day of the lockout.
He fell into dissolution by walking throughout the land with his mother. They would grow together and provide constant consultation, as was custom. His third wife suffered the scorn of the new king and this eventual king was granted his own Great Griot by some griots at a young age; this was in order to have them come into greatness together and beyond this zenith toward being a mighty king or king of kings. He remembered the prophecy and married a woman who was a model for government that would guide the empire's small kingdoms. He waged a war and then married an ugly woman. The oppressed Mandiak, under this Mandinka king finally one day received all of the area into a coalition of neighboring states in the year 1266.
As I rolled up my sleeves to make my third Apple post I thought about how important it is to think about hoping the world is ready to dream further to make it better. The third Apple has fallen! It was a great fall.
I just remembered that just the simple fruit, the apple, was what I had remembered before I even thought about multi-armed multimedia conglomerates. Now my thoughts have included every single Apple that ever was and those there that even weren't, as well as any that did not.
Apparently it was weird because even after I needed a "hero" the other Apple didn't stay out of the tree, so to speak. It is officially recognized that although it is the time of the origin of our pleasure, and not strictly responsible for our current condition we did not really pay the moment enough attention. It has been a battle against every odd ever since.
People don't know how musicians think. You will hear people say, casually, that for musicians the favorite type of gig to play is a Quinceañera party (a celebration for a girl's fifteenth birthday) where lots of the girls have single moms. They don't know what they're talking about.
That is the kind of nonsense you hear from the same type of ignorant idiot who insists that Ludacris named himself after "Ludicrous Lion" from H.R. Pufnstuf. There actually is something really interesting and sad about H.R. Pufnstuf, though: the little kid in that show (Jack Wild) died really young, practically the template for Gary Coleman. I think he smoked a hole in his jaw and that ate him up with cancer.
I just remembered that Apple was this "Beatles" company, a multi-armed multimedia corporation, a conglomerate. It included "Apple Electronics" which was intended to revolutionize the consumer electronics market-- but it did not.
And weird that Apple Corp still exists! I didn't know that. Apparently the BEATLES' "rock band guitar hero" video game package was theirs. Furthermore...
In 1978, Apple Records filed suit against Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) for trademark infringement. The suit was settled in 1981 with the payment of $80,000 to Apple Corps. As a condition of the settlement, Apple Computer agreed to stay out of the music business.
The other Apple didn't stay out of the music business. I seem to remember thinking that the US computer Apple was the same thing as the Beatles' Apple back in the late-70s/early-80s (to me that is an "era"-- one that is not officially recognized although it is the time of the origin of our current condition.) I didn't really pay close attention to corporations then. And anyways, the computer I had was an Atari game console that you could run BASIC on. I fell asleep on that thing more times than I care to count.
I don't know, you probably already knew all this. I can't keep up with the vast array of babyboomer hi-jinks. Makes me dizzy just wondering if it is history or still the present day.
Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) is a psychoactive drug with stimulant properties which acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). Reportedly, it has been sold since around 2004 as a designer drug. It is also known as MDPK, MTV, Magic, Maddie, Black Rob, Super Coke and PV.
In 2010 it was reportedly sold as a legal drug alternative and marketed in the United States as "bath salts" (under such names as Aura, White devil, Blue Silk, Bonzai Grow, Charge Plus, Euphoria, Hurricane Charlie, Ivory Wave, Lovey Dovey, Ocean, Pixie Dust, Red Dove, Scarface, Vanilla Sky, White Dove, White Girl, White Lightning).
You bet your life that "the King" had the greatest solo career ever. No one was more notable in the radio and television game than he: The King of Rock and Roll.
The third-born. He also had or simply was part of feature films with his philosophical siblings. E-V-S or HE, as the king is often referred to, was an icon widely loved by many admirers. He made 13 known 10 million dollar records by the single name E-V-S.
And wit? Of American singers of the 20th century his rapid-fire delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him a prominent cultural position among American comedian and film stars.
And The Look? Because of the effects of tearing an adhesive bandage off the same patch he simply did not enjoy the removal of the mustache in his early 20s. When he did not have time to apply the pasted-on mustache he had fake eyebrows instead. Much as in a vaudeville performance in wigs and costumes it was almost impossible to recognize HIM in public and off-camera.
