The Daily News1 So…Margaret Thatcher, Roger Ebert, AND Annette Funicello walk into a bar…
2 Yeesh.3 Are their names even spelled correctly?
4 Ah whatevs.
5 There is some sort of conspiracy theory going on about how people have mysteriously been dying in threes.
6 Okay, I’m sort of down.
7 There are also lots of people twitting and wondering.8 My read?
9 I don’t know really.
10 As a logical person, I’m pretty certain that these people simply passed.
11 But conspiracy theories always abound.
12 Do I agree with any of this?
13 Who the heck cares?14 I don’t even know if their names are spelled properly, if I may repeat myself.
15 Ah, meh.
16 I wrote most of this stuff yesterday afternoon.
17 I honestly don’t know any longer.
18 Too much news.19 I dislike when there is too much news. Diminishes the importance of each of these brave souls’ lives. It’s like three people having the same birthday or something.
20 I also dislike it because I feel I must report it.
21 Yesterday afternoon, for example, I thought my only worry was the trees falling over in front of my house.22 I kept hearing of reports of trees that were thrashing and falling, and I HAVE trees that thrash and fall.
23 So in the midst of all of this folderol, I put metaphorically donned this strange ’30′s helmet, which resembles caps worn by the Nazis in WWII.
24 I’m SERIOUS.
25 Well, sort of. It has something to do with media control, and using fear as a weapon to brainwash us. Let me clarify with an example, if I may:
26 I see those new motorcycle caps as designs from Germany, circa 1933. I didn’t really put one on, understand that. I do have this real helmet sitting in my classroom that might quite be a design from Germany, circa the early ninteen-thirties. I found it in some thrift store years ago and used it as a prop in a play. At least I think I did. My mind is sorta dead this morn. AnywayZ, I think modern motorcycle helmets are idiotic. I think a lot of modern stuff is idiotic. I metaphorically donned this Nazi helmet for a scattered second because of the weirdness of modern times. The entire control-by-fear thing that comes to us daily perhaps had something to do with this moment of paranoia. Fear not. I returned to normalcy pretty quickly. But yeesh. The control of our media is palpable.
27 Honestly.28 Sorry dudes who wear those weird helmets. They just suggest media brainwashing to me.
29 Just sayin,’
30 I must keep writing.
31 I feel that there is a silent war, and that I am somehow the correspondent.32 A war on intelligence.
33 At this point I must stop.34 Or at least I think I must stop.
35 I wrote most of this stuff yesterday afternoon when I was frazzled from the first day back to work after Spring Break. Show a little mercy. = ) <—–smily face that doesn’t necessarily mean you are happy.
36 I went home, examined my life, and realized how irrelevant this stuff is.
37 I tried like hell to get most of this done before the afternoon ended, but to no avail.
38 No avail. Who says that? Too much real life things recurring and recurring.
39 Like dog poop and pretzels.
40 Ah, iono.
41 Yeesh. I finally gave up and went on with normal life. <basketball buzzer> Define normal.
42 So I am now into the two a.m.
43 This stuff is coming to you from a freezing sun room in the early hours of April.
44 I started it all on a new computer, which is by its very nature weird.
45 I got to bed early last night because the entire world was too weird after a Spring Break.
46 My spell check told me that I had spelled “because” wrong, for example.
47 I believed it, at least with one eye open on re-esamination into the two a.m.
48 Just sayin’.
49 AnywayZ…
50 It’s freezing.
51 I am such a Californian.
52 But honestly.
53 New computers. Windows 100, or whatever.
54 Irritating.
55 I’m sorry.
56 It is now seriously into the two a.m. and I have fought this for too long now.
57 Fonts have turned into bears and rabbit turds.
58 I am not at all down with technological updates.
59 I’m fine.
60 They’re not.
61 I must needs get me some sleep.
62 This stuff sometimes becomes surreal.
62 Today is one of those times.
63 I must needs get me some sleep.
64 Life is a dream.
65 I’ll awaken and report some more stuff tomorrow. Oops. Today. Swirling.
66 Meanwhile, have a great Tuesday, if there is such a thing.
67 Is it Tuesday?
68 I feel like a Toon that has been flattened by a safe.
69 It’s cool. I’ll pop back to normal by noon. It’ll be like none of this ever happened.
70 Meanwhile, enjoy this Tuesday, if indeed it is Tuesday. Tuesdays need to go away, especially after Spring Break. I could become President on that platform alone.
71 Fly low.
72 See you again.
73 Peace.~H~
