Told you we shouldn't have let Ringo drive....

We are such a weird society now...

I don't even know how to fucking react to us..?

have been incredibly, horribly, lazy these past weeks.

Unmotivated, I have made no accomplishments on
my to do list, hobbies or in my personal world...
I have just barely been able to practice the guitar...?
I cannot shake this laziness

Seriously I do not know how to get out of
this lazy rut I am in...?

great hopes of the Millennials saving/changing this country.
We boomers crashed our society through greed, a total lack of compassion
and a failure to face critical problems.

The last, worst, Boomer insult to our society is Trump.

Millennials are our best hope..
We desperately need them to reshape American culture--!
The constant blaming of Millennials for refusal of
boomer standards and desires is simply not viable.

I agree with this article in the New Yorker Magazine---
Somehow in today's environment if you die.....
and you are not Trump---
Then you are rewritten as some kind of hero Republican President...?

The truth is important...
even when you die...

A major problem I have is I do not recognize
any of the supposed celebrities mentioned in any of the
"damaging" internet dirt pieces----?

I often find myself reading a headline or article 

on an individual who--

I may have a vague understanding is 
a celebrity singer or rapper or actor bazillionaire....
but I have no concrete concept of really who the fuck they are...
or why they should be famous...?

Please believe me it not that I am that type of 

Republican geezer

 who simply hates any and everything new...!

I am a guitar focused--Jazz listening---music person, 
so I don't know these celebrity/musician/rapper people's body of work at all?

I see younger actors in movies and they are 
fine and all---

Seemingly all superhero's of some sort or another.... 

but I don't seem to be able to tell,
many of them apart---??
Combine that with the fact that I have a zero 
social media interest or footprint---so i don't follow anyone...

This blog is the only thing I do and as you well
know it's not all that social...?
I pretty much ignore all that type of social disastrous shit...

So---I am often at a total loss as to why somebody 
in our world today is important or famous,

why--
what this person has to say is considered to have some kind of weight...?

Or why they deserve their own fucking 747?
 but for sure now, because of this ignorance, 
I do know----

I have developed insane gear acquisition lust for one of these

Fender Deluxe Stratocasters...in vintage blonde, black pickguard

 and a maple fretboard..this is an awesome guitar...!

This model Strat has a secret on off switch that activates the

bridge pickup on any p/u position setting..very cool..!

Yeah this happens when you play--

You get these sudden, overwhelming attacks to

buy a very specific new guitar--

Only a vast period of abstinence or purchase 

cures these attacks..

I enjoy the idiosyncrasy of all French manufactured goods...

The French seemingly have an ability to manufacture, 

very stylish and very unique day to day items,

compared to other cultures.

A perfect example is

the Brenium folding pocket knife pictured below.

Incredibly light weight..simplistic, stylish French design and manufacture.

The Brenium has become my constant companion.

I found it on amazon and the Brenium pocket knife 

is what I am giving out as Christmas gifts to others this year.

On DVD--

This was Strangely, weirdly, compelling---

keeping our streak of recently viewing very strange shit

intact....!

 

This is a job for... regular guy..!

I often admit that I am often at a loss..

Is that wrong?

I have been re-setting my life--
eliminating my constant examination of stupidity in the 
world around me--
as in refusing to discuss Trump,
or his lapdogs,

I still read the news--I just refuse to take it in..
I will still vote...against Trump and any and all Republicans...!
I resist them by not allowing them to affect my thinking or 
my life..!
The most effective way to hurt Trump 
is to ignore him..!

If the world scratches at me I try to find signs of 
goodness like this:
why-you-should-talk-to-strangers

This i simply cannot grasp---?

Especially the vision of my father doing this...?

There is a cafe in Japan that has a Robot Staff..

Taking orders, serving food...

I know Shocking for Japan right??

But the awesome part of this is that 

These robots are operated via the net by people who

are Paralyzed humans.

The paralyzed operators are fully paid for their time and even 

individuals who can only move their eyes are

viable candidates for operating/working via robots at the cafe!

This gives people a chance to interact outside of their 

medically restricted environment, meet people

 and have a daily purpose.

I have only one thing to say to the people who 

developed this business concept... 

Success in space just makes me feel better about
life somehow..?
Like we humans are not totally fucked up...?
So... I am very happy today that

Nasa's Insight landed safely on Mars...

NASA-scientists Mars-spacecraft-survives-six-half-minutes-terror-descent

and is sending back photo's..

Here's one more thing I do naturally..
that I always chalked up to OCD..
that scientists now have determined
 to be good for you---?

Russian women will rule the world?
 first here---?

and now as the
Queen of Malaysia

True love I am absolutely sure!!!

After receiving bail-outs, tax breaks
and every consideration our corrupt politicians can give them
GM is again closing plants and laying off at least 14,000 workers.
Fucking the working man as always.
 God forbid their stock holders profits drop from extreme
to merely reasonable?

Their profits and no taxes at any cost to our society...

and of course let's not forget SEARS employee's
getting fucked...!
sears-workers left with nothing...

It's been cold so---

I started construction on my paper model Zeppelin
the LZ-10.

The first step I completed was cutting out the internal
braces and reinforcing them with cardboard...

This will be a slow-winter time long project

but that's OK...

On a whim I ordered a Famis..
(which is sort of a conglomerate name for multiple generic Chinese watches)

mechanical watch for $16.00 and free shipping.

I figured that if it sucked I could strip the movement out
and use this $16.00 movement for a replacement/repair job?

It turns out this watch is amazing for all of $16.00 us and 
Keeps very, very accurate time...?
Appears very well made and
even the accompanying watchband is acceptably comfortable?
Although I am sure I will change it out--well--just cause...?
A series of rather unique elements on such a bargain Chinese watch?

I am just amazed..!

just ordered---used...

On streaming--

This was extremely, weirdly, fascinating--?

An excellent lesson on the fight for 

labor rights tho---
