In Murica'...television is more important than history...

Working on getting better--

post heart attack...

Considering that a month ago 

i was well---

dead..?

Been getting lot of help in my recuperation

 from the neighborhood..!

An ancient Mayan(?) model of the universe,
built in a pond has been discovered by Archaeologists...

Now it doesn't look like much,
in the below photograph but---

the ponds water represented the universe with
landmarks constructed at the bottom of the pool
representing specific elements of the universe...?

I find that ancient artifacts really activate 
the weird section of my brain, you know...?
That part of us/me that is ready to believe 
fucking ANYTHING
with just a little push?

I think it is completely awesome that a Fed-Ex employee,
Johnathan Pace...
using a standard laptop and working on his own as a hobby--
 has expanded the range concept of prime numbers...
to 23 million and 1/4 some digits.
Way to go dude!

Prime number explained
It is also extremely weird that i ,
cannot balance our checkbook,
but yet i am fascinated by exotic math concepts and 
insane mathematicians...?

There's nothing more i enjoy than an insane 
mathematician biography!!!

How the fuck does that work you know?
I just cannot explain myself in this category,
that i have zero practical math ability, but love theorizing 
on extreme number concepts????

Hopefully, sometime in a viable future, historians
will look back incredulously and ponder why,
we in this era allowed psychopathic corporate CEO's to dominate our world?
Much the same as we now wonder now why serfs allowed Kings
to exist for so long before killing all of them...?
The CEO of Intel--Brian Kranich

knowing the flaws within his company's computer chips...
 sold half his stock in the company..
(all that he was allowed to sell by contract)
prior to the product's flaw becoming public news..

As always what probably took the stock fall hit,
was retirement funds...
Where is justice hiding when it comes
to these CEO public enemies---?

Japanese Retailer have an awesome tradition..
Post New Years almost all stores offer what is known as a---
LUCKY BAG 
lucky-bag-roundup-up-a-tablet-box-of-techie-dreams
Each bag is loaded with products that are at least,
double the value of the bag's price..
The contents of the bag are a surprise to the purchaser
you do not know what you are buying.
If capitalism wasn't trying to squeeze the last ounce of
currency from we US citizens...
and
 if American CEO's wouldn't enjoy laughing in my face...
I'd recommend we adopt this Japanese tradition..

I love the absolute happiness in the voice of
this Russian guy, Taras Kulakov in this video, 

He opens a vacuum can-sealed, 1952,
US military, sleeping bag he bought off E-BAY.
Just his accent and running commentary makes it worth viewing...

This is a very interesting story from the 
Willamette Week newspaper--
Portland Police prowled the garbage 

of an officer under investigation for evidence 
claiming that once
you place your trash on the street you have no 
expectation of privacy on the contents....
and evidence collected from public resting trash
was completely legal...
So the staff of the Willamette Weekly prowled the garbage

of the Mayor, Chief of Police and several city council members..
and published a list of their trash contents..!!!
Willamette Weekly--Rubbish!
After reading to this point i am sure you are ready for the fact
that suddenly it was not so legal and correct...
to prowl people's garbage...?
The Power people got completely bent out of shape about it..

Fucking hysterical..
Great job by the Willamette Weekly,
that's some really good, old time newspaper work there..
 fucking awesome!

As always way way behind the times 

since we have no regular TV...

but enjoying this----

Off to meet my doom, Mom! See you after school..!

Each week I am feeling a bit better...

I may have failed to mentioned I had a heart attack....
I believe I am recuperating fairly well...?

Eh--Spending New Years Eve in Times Square????

A massive crowd, with no bathrooms----
(on a normal day stores won't let you use the restroom in NYC)
a mathematically overwhelming chance of an astounding number of
assholes surrounding you...?
Combined with the possibility of it being colder
in Times Square than the temperature on Mars..
( Mars has been averaging -9 degrees below zero lately )

I cannot understand why any normal human
would subject themselves to this???
I personally have much to be thankful for within 2017 and
celebrate the coming 2018 privately...
I do wonder what we, the little people of this nation,
have to look forward to in 2018...?

Having said that my 2018 New Years resolution is to

This, i am sure will be very difficult to accomplish..
I am however going to make the serious attempt...
to live as if none of this madness surrounds me...
My plan is to treat him, his policies, his followers..
his sycophants..
as if they simply do not exist in my world...

This is something I must do...
Trump's madness is making me insane...
Wish me luck..for I am determined to accomplish this...

Perhaps if we all were to ignore him,
 he would simply
disappear?

I was delayed in publishing this week by a day..
due to replacing my laptop..
forgive me...while i attempted to transfer
all my strange blog shit to the new one..!

Sometimes the guitar world is just really strange..
So, I was out of commission with the guitar for 
a couple of weeks and the other day when i first
practiced again I picked-up my 6 month old
Ovation Elite 12 string...

The pre-amp was completely broken???
Nothing but bad buzz out of the guitar to the amp?

The weirdest thing is that
this guitar worked perfectly the last time I played it?
Just WTF eh?
It is very hard to catch a break sometimes...
I am so confused and bummed..
but I did managed to fix it, not totally but
good enough to get by??

Binge watching 
Battle Star Galactica
This week...
I worry tho that by streaming this show---
It may indicate that I may have
 reached the end of the Internet???
