"If this happens people will die...and I might be one of them."
me @ 4 years ago at County Bd of Supes mtg
aloha again,
HAPPY SWINE FLU TO U 2!
golly,where to begin?
1918-1919 40 million died worldwide of the so called Spanish Flu (new research shows it actually began in Kansas) B.A.{before antibioticS.}
the CDC reports that every flu season 36,000 i repeat 36,000 americans die of influneza related causes NORMALLY.
my County bought 10.000 body bags four years ago for the bird flu,so far nada.
so why exactly are we running around like our hair is on fire?
one reason, this new SWINE FLU is a three part mutant,human/bird/swine and is 'unique' as far as flu viruses go.( so relax TAMIFLU & REFLUNEZA knock it down)
reason two, there is some speculation that Mexico is UNDERESTIMATING the flu numbers to keep tourism numbers healthy (258 flights a day so far).
reason three,one of the NYC spring breakers to Cancun was ASYMPTOMATIC meaning all the warning signs were absent before he infected others.
reason four,WHO (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION) has a six phase pandemic process, we've been on Phase Three since the bird flu stuck its beak up and today they went to Phase Four.(check www.CDC.gov for more details).
reason five, it gives us something to think about besides our tanking econmy until THE RAPTURE or whatever...
you're welcome,now go hide under the covers.

EARTH DAZE
"Get the facts right,then you can distort them."
Mark Twain (to reporters of his era)
aloha again,
HAPPY EARTH DAY beautiful weather here.
it takes a lot of meds to keep me alive and sorta functional.based on the warning labels attached i should wear an air condtioned burka (keep out of direct sunlight & avoid heat stress) so the effects of weather are kinda important to me.
last saturday was PERFECT,SOUL MATE & I ventured out to mock tourists arrivng at the Esplanade (Capitola Beach) in mid afternoon & hoping to find parking. there are maybe 200 beach side slots for a beach that can hold thousands beyond the usual hard core surfers. it was cruel but fun. so the weather guessers predicted the next few days would be in the 80s,still okay for me. now we have two porch thermometers on the front porch,one in sunlight by the two birdfeeders and one in the shade.both have consistently registered 100 Degrees over the last three days, a fact denied by the fallacious Weather Channel website for Capitola but later confirmed by the local news. SIGH.
SWELTERING is bad for me, despite ice water and insulated housing i have a hard time doing much of anything other than being overheated & grumpy.so i was relatively pissed (today the summmerlike morning fog is back, i'm good.) i will spare you the list of ailments related to sudden heating then cooling,suffice to say i now have a firdge full of hot weather goodies (beer,chocolate,salads,BBQ and other no cook edibles). ...um, diuretics are working now and i mislaid my train of thot.had some concept of universality related to all this.....GET THE FACTS FIRST? Esp healthwise,be an informed medical consumer.i have a shelf full of books on meds and my various conditions/afflictions (plus WEBMD daily updates), like SM in her library/book trove.i always have a list of questions and data,if a prescribed med has TERRIBLE SIDE FX (some do) i refuse to take it & explain why.luckily my PCP is cool with this and not an assh*le (this is rare but not impossible).
in other news,
i was happy.
happy as a a puppy.
happy as Lindsay Lohan leaving Rehab again.
happy as a pig in sh*t with my new cataract surgery implant.
so of course my retina specialist DR.BUZZKILL reminds me,in his plummy Brit accent."You still have long myopic eyeballs.You could STILL GO BLIND YOU KNOW." does he think i'm a fool??? i have been to the local VISTA CENTER FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED (vistacenter.org for tricounty area) who have social workers who come to you house and prepare you for vision loss (they also have classes and gadgets).they made two of my canes WHITE CANES & taught me how to walk streets alone & with a guide plus they can BLINDPROOF my place if need be.i didn't tell Dr.Buzzkill that i sometimes navigate my home using just my Bad Eye or with both eyes closed.
i remember a bumpersticker from when i was a new parent YOU CAN'T SCARE ME,I HAVE CHILDREN! ditto, i have a SM who loves me,adult children,live in "Paradise",have good docs & my white canes.BRING IT!
anyway that's where i am today.
P.S. speaking of Lindsay (one of us crips) catch her eHarmony spoof on Funny or Die.com.

GOTTA SOUL?
"Things are entirely as they appear to be-and behind them...there is nothing."
Jean-Paul Sartre
i disagree vehemently.
aloha again,
the restless minds...
BLADE RUNNER (now on pay cable again),one of my all time fave movies is based on a novel by one of my all time fave authors PHILLIP K.DICK and his book DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?
bout a hour ago i was watching The Naked Archeologist on TV where he was talking about the Giants in Genesis,not really giants but a mistranslation of NEPHILIM "the fallen".NA talked to an Isreali scientist & lingiust who believed that Nephilim referred to hominids without souls (sic) who interbred with human females.(pause here to thumb thru Genesis,all done?)
then NA talked to another scientist who showed that Neanderthals and Homo Sap lived on Mount Carmel togehter for about 30,000 years and probably interbred.that is where NA left it showing up many of the shortcomings of pop science.the scientist mentioned that Neandterthals & Homo Sap buried their dead in the same manner et al.there is massive evidence that Neantherthals buried their dead with a concept of the After Life with burial trinkets,food & weapons just like other primitive societies.No Soul? Preposterous i say.
what has this got to do with Blade Runner?
knowing P.K.Dick from more than one novel i posit the question, if we build androids-artifical humans, how do we know that they don't have souls? might not a stray soul or souls inhabit a suitable vessel? should this effect the way we are treating more and more complicated machines and robots now? what about CYBORGS {CYBernetic ORGanisms},humans (many severely disabled) with machine parts or interfaces.where do we draw the line between man & machine? who decides? priests or scientists or governments? when do we begin thinking about this seriously?
many believe that animals like dolphins,primates,cats & dogs have souls.i agree with this idea,so might not these souls upgrade??? if not why not? is GOD(ESS) species specific? how narrowly defined do we want to go? put your ideas in COMMENTS below.
Happy Easter/Passover/whatever.

UNKIND WORDS
"Kind words and a Gun, will get you more than just kind words." attributed to both Al Capone & John Dillinger
other than that Mrs.Lincoln,how did you enjoy the play???
unkind words however will get you a heartfelt admonishment from Soul Mate about "hurtful & inapproriate content."
i am not perfect & have never claimed to be,here or anywhere else.it takes a lot of meds,supplements and high dose aspirin to keep me functional and even then i endure Chronic Pain,muscles spasms and bouts of Severe Depression.
that is not an excuse for anything, i'm just saying...HONESTLY.
MY EX (mama ninja) is welcome to post a Comment in response which will be uncensored as long as this blog is up (the unforseeable future).
in other news, (collegespeak alert!)
HALF DOME
this is a radical interpretation of what Julian Jaynes proposed in the mid 1970s,lets see if i can state this coherently.
scientists have lately discovered a God Lump in the human brain which lights up under PET SCANS during intense prayer,meditation and what have you. using methods similar to IMMANUEL VELISKOVSKY (Wiki this guy) Jaynes posited that human myths are fragments of genuine human history and NOT mere fantasy.he also posited that the modern concept of a triple decker formation of human personality was not always true and that original humans had but a rudimentary sense of self (located in one hemisphere,unicameral) and the so called higher regions were associated with gods or spirits (like current Native Americns?) . now,being an egghead, Jaynes thot these regions might be channels of mass hysteria or delusional but lets go beyond prejudice for a bit.lets posit the existence of ESP receptors in the uncharted regions of the human brain...and lets go out on a limb and posit that the vocies schizophrenics hear are 'real' not delsuional. suppose the voices belong to ghosts or spirits or other entities??? this might show that so called primitives are unemcumbered by modern prejudices, a PET scan of some indigenous peoples might test this out? maybe the spirits of the forest and Mother Earth do indeed exist. i'm just saying...could countless generations of shaman ALL be wrong? IMHO i think not.

"Stay committed to your decisions,but stay flexible in your approach."
Tom Robbins author
aloha again,
my children think i am a terrible parent.
sometimes,when i am depressed and in EXTREME PAIN (like now) i agree.
my children think My Ex is a somewhat failed saint.
IMHO i disagree.
she is the same age as Madonna and almost a flamboyant.when we were together she had pierced ears,nose,nipples,navel and prepuce (clit hood) and a growing collection of expensive mismatched tattoos and when i came home i never knew what her hair color would be. artist painter/cartoonist,ACA, (jealous) LSD loving bisexual sex addict,musician of sorts, cheap fashionista,nudist,ex Catholic and DAVID LYNCH film fan,we had a lot in common then. when she became pregnant one of her older sisters gave us a book of monsters & mutations, everything that could possibly go wrong in the womb.sweet jesus(passive aggressive a specalty). My Ex defines herself as a self medicating ADHD Adult,good enough.
i once told her once to clean up her act (thinking she could,she couldn't)otherwise our kids 'would think I LOVE LUCY is a documentary'. Folie a Duex indeed.while we were together she took two different jobs and forgot to ask what they paid, turns out they paid nothing. one was even an elobarate scam which bilked many.we met at work,me after wolf girl and she was married to The Manchild. you've heard of YOUR MONEY IS 'OUR MONEY' & MY MONEY IS MY MONEY?' hard to raise a family under those conditions but not impossible. we had GOOD CLEAN DIRTY FUN,OFTEN even with kids.
this whole foreclosure mess reminds me of the time we were evicted by the bank for non payment of rent,we had the receipts but our landlord turned out to be a crackhead liar and so we went.we seemed to move every year or so,which totally blew out my bad back. she tells the kids she married me because she thot i would produce beautiful & brilliant children,yes but our combined DNA is a witches brew of unexpected results.my bipolar youngest thinks that i should've known more about Genetics in 1986 than most labs do now.Yeah right...
"A dissatisfied woman demands toasted snow." Arab Proverb
if those days if i could've provided toasted snow i would have.
we fought a lot, she likes to fight ...for the drama.nothing was ever resolved,some days she would just invent sh*t or lift something from her stash of emotional warfare/ getting a divorce books.she even pretended to have PMS for years until i studied up on it.
one of TS Eliot's poems (The Hollow Men?) ends with "this is the way the world ends,this is the way the world ends;not with a bang but a whimper". one day you wake up exhausted and weary of the struggle and before you ask yourself "do i want to grow old with this woman?" you already know the answer.
My Ex had a friend i nicknamed AXEL after the white wolverine in the Fusco Bros comic strip.Axel had two parents who were cops and came to SF to become a sex worker/heroin addict wtih big implants.Axel once said "if a man can make you laugh,he can make you come and if he can make you come he OWNS you!" not true.
The Beatles song ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE...not true either.
the knife in my heart is when i told her' i did every thing i could to make you happy.'
her reply "i don't want to be happy". intensity over intimacy, a common complaint.GAME OVER.
don't be so hard on yourself Pagani (read your blog) i forgot who said it but they say "it matters not how many times you get kncoked down but how many times you get up again."
sorry this is not more entertaining.
P.S. ANON you should move to Berkeley where you would feel at home.watch that forehead vein okay?

UNPLUGGED
"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.I have cause to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first." Ronald Wilson(666) Reagan
GASP,IT WAS HORRIBLE.
12 HOURS UNPLUGGED...NO NET,NO CELL,NO PHONES,NO 911, ATMS & BANKS CLOSED,STORES RUDELY DEMANDING SOMETHING CALLED...(shudder) CASH! PEOPLE WERE IN SHOCK THEN CRISIS! people were crying over their Blackberries in internet cafes -calloused fingers jerking uncontrollalby,mall rats were confused & scared,people on bicycles stared in horror at their dead cells (i actually saw this),bad drivers had no cell phones to hold up as excuses,it seemed like the whole world had ended!!! SOB SOB SHUDDER WAIL.
that same day,yesterday, i got word that the State of Confusion-eh,California, had discontinued the contract with people trying to train communites on how to respond to Natural Disasters.the Godess was bitchy yesterday & humans were stupid,same difference?
speaking of idiots,
when the AntiChrist Reagan was overlord of this state i got many reliable reports that they emptied the mental hopsitals of crips by giving them a One Way Ticket to Willits ( i spoke to eyewitnesses & nurses) where the dazed got off in the Willits Safeway parking lot with $25 and no idea what to do next.(snark alert!) which explains a lot of misbehavior in Mendocino County still...
today the homeless of many states get a similar ticket to fair weather liberal San Francisco.
SIGH in the news yesterday was a skimpy report that TWO ORANGE COUNTY HOSPITALS have reached a $1.6 million settlement with LA for dumping patients on Skid Row there. have you seen the videos? the guy with one shoe in a hospital gown pushing his broken wheelchair down the street? the woman with the post surgery bloody bandages under her coat & gown? the guy rudely dumped by a cab in front fo the Skid Row mission?
A FINE? THEY GET TO PAY A FINE & NOT LOSE THEIR GODDAMN LICENSES???
L A solons claim over 150 people were routinely outsourced over a 2 year period."We will not stand idly by while society's most vulnerable are dumped in the gutters of Skid Row."claims D.A. Rocky Deladillo.most of the money ($1.2 mil) go to charities that service the mentally ill & homeless.BIG WHOOP.the way we treat crips of all kinds in this decadent crumbling society is a f*cking disgrace.
damn, i meant to write about a more cheery subject today,like the time i almost killed four Samoans on motorcycles,maybe another time.
in other news, SPIN (SPECIAL PARENTS INFORMATION NETWORK)
is a group devoted to aiding and advising parents of Speical Needs Kids of all kinds,including those along the unpredictable Autism Spectrum.they have classes in Enlgish & Spanish,check it out if you need this,they are good peeps. i got a good foundation for dealing with my brilliant bipolar cranky late diagnosis Aspergers youngest son.
in more other news,

maybe this is why i dreamed last nite i was trapped in a Family Guy cartoon dealing with Peter Griffin at his worse.is inane loutishness a disability??? should be,where could we send them...NYC! nobody would notice & they'd blend right in.which is one of many reasons i left (he he he).
