So, I just wrote a complaint to blogger.com on their FTP migration tool:
Reported by awbvious, Today (moments ago)
I no longer wish to use your service. I asked my friend
who hosts me if
there was any reason I shouldn't change my DNS to let you guys host my
blog. He said there were. That is good enough for me. I may have been
one in twenty. But you have lost at least one in twenty.
Regardless, I started the FTP migration tool and when
it got to the point
where it said change the DNS, that's when I contacted my friend. So, I
figure, oh well, I can stop the migration now, and at least make one last
post to let my "audience" know that I'm not using Blogger (and by
extension
google) any more.
But no. I tried to publish and it thinks I want to use
your Custom Domains
"stuff" (using euphemism here). I can't publish. So I tried to "cancel."
No cancel button. I tried to go "back" in the process, can't go back
any
further and I still can't FTP in. You said until May 1, it is currently
March 18th. So, I tried to click on "manual migration" thinking that
might
offer me a way to cancel. But no, instead it just says "congratulations"
and expects me to have changed my DNS. So, you need to restart my FTP
because that was really dirty of y'all to make it so I couldn't back out of
my migration. I really don't think you guys didn't test it enough to
realize that people wouldn't get out of it easily.
And stuff like this just confirms what my friend said,
and why I am no
longer using blogger. Please do the right thing and re-enable my FTP (or
tell me how it can be done) so I can post my final blog message and direct
everyone to http://www.awbvious.com/thegreenroom.htm#recent it's old and
soon to be new home. Thank you.

Anyway, that's what I just posted. HERE'S THE POST I WOULD HAVE (why am I shouting...) The post I would have put on http://www.awbvious.com/blog.html :
Ah, tis a shame... But in the end, I had to go with the advice of a good friend--unless conspiracy theories are true, and this friend never contacted me--and not use your service any more. And by service, I mean your nice little blogging web application with it's wonderful interface... You won't allow FTP publishing anymore. Meaning I have to register my DNS with you guys. I of course ask my friend what I should do as I am in the lucky position of having a friend who is very wise in such matters in charge of such matters (and, might i add, at no cost to me, except the usual cost of friendship, which as we all know, is worth any inconvenience).
I asked him:
awbvious: yo, google/blogger wants me to migrate my blog from your server to theirs, as they are giving up FTP (http://blogger-ftp.blogspot.com/). Two questions. One, is there any reason I might not want to do this, and in fact use an alternative (like wordpress.org). Or two should I (you) add a CNAME to the DNS, with a subdomain (like blog.awbvious.com) http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?answer=55373
awbvious: by the way wordpress.org's five minute install is complete bullshit. http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress If /you/ can do it in five minutes, then I would very much appreciate it, and I would take care of it from there. Thanks.
HIM (aka jake) The answers are yes and no
awbvious: I will assume you mean that relatively. And that I should use an alternative. I'm curious as to your reasons though. Perhaps I should start a thread on G&Gs, but I'm afraid I'm already monopolizing the board. The least geeky (perhaps) person should not be starting the most post on geeks and gadgets--else it becomes a bit of a tech support forum. But, then again, I'm the only "writer" so it makes sense I post the most second to the admin (whoever that freak is--1835 posts!--aw, I have 1338 posts, if I had paid attention, I could have made 1337 my "leet" post).
Notice it is a very general response. Not very specific, easily, dare i say,
fabricated? Ah, perhaps the fact that I have caught them led to tonight's debaucle,
which was quite entertaining.
Let me lay the scene for you. I'm at work, trying to do work, but I have nothing pressing on me right now, so I am, of course, easily distracted. I write some emails that I can (kinda) consider work related, in that they have to do with writing, and my classes. I finish that and think, fuck, it is saint patrick's day, I should be "celebrating my heritage."
So, I call up my friend, who I have psuedonymed here as.... Hess. I call up Hess and I say, what's up. Note: I have known Hess less than three years, which makes him B.C. (Before Contract)... Wait the other way... A.D. (After Debaucle).
Anyway, he says not much, and I ask him what he's doing for st. patty's day. He says not much, cruise on by the pad... so, I did. I had no other good plans. My sis kinda asked me what I wanted to do for St. Patrick's day, and there was this other friend, but I'm not seeing her until Friday. So, basically, I had no one to hang out with, and he's a fucking cool guy. So, I call him up, turns out he's got family shit going on, serious family shit. Like, gotta be the good friend this is the time kind of shit. So, I tried to be.
He says, meet me later, I'm leaving (family shit, censored). I go to meet him later, I call to say I'm in the area, he says, meet at this bar. (Again, a less than three year relationship. I have been to this bar three times, in the last few months. And, one must consider, I've known Hess only through the bar I've also discovered only in the last three years. I have no connections to him B.C.--but let's not got too paranoid, people might get hurt unintentionally.)
So, I go to the bar, I stop the car and I write in my notebook a thought that had been jumbling around in my brain as I was singing along to the music in my car. What was it...
"Delusions are a need for faith. Rational mind takes it out of whatever part of mind is relegated to 'faith' in an atheist."
Let me explain. I live a double life. Every experience I have, I have on two levels. One, in which I am the subject of a reality show (if not the main attraction, part of). Or two, in which I am a normal guy, who's a bit bright, but socially inept, and has a delusion.
But how can we call it a delusion, when merely it is an imagination for possibilities? What I imagine is improbable, and thus I never act with it as the first reality, the one I must instinctively respond to. Instead, I think, okay, this is a real person talking to me, not one to play a role, his motives are as completely translucent as mine.
The fact is, and I said this in the car, after I left Hess' place: I would act the same regardless of the realities. I would still be courtious, friendly, caring, all that christian bullshit--and I use the term flippantly, which is the only way one should with such a weighty term. Bullshit, of course.
Like, maybe Hess really doesn't have the personal shit going on, maybe it's an act, maybe he's an actor, maybe he's a famous musician who was supposed to cameo, but then I ended up talking to him and a report started, and they made him part of the "cast." I don't fucking know. This, of course, brings me back to the faith part.
As you see, in my delusional world, which has it's own rules and physical limitations, it is a very solid world, for I think of how it could be done, and I don't think I'm too far off from what I've seen in media. In my delusional world, he's part of a system, a system that is smarter than me, as it has more people working on it, even if I'm a genius, the fact is, there are far more people who will collectively be smarter than me.
I will never be one step ahead of them, I can theorize and philosophize all I want, but, according to this fantasy world I have created, they will always be smarter and able to predict my deduction and observation skills. In this world where the people making money off of me are making so much money, they can afford to have a cadre of say... Tech people. They could have maybe 12 people devoted just to making sure I don't use the computer in any way to destroy their artifice.
They watch my every screen movement. Because even as I get as smart as I do about rootkits and all that jive, they are still smarter than me. They know shit that only the government knows, but they know even more, because they got money on their side. Yes, almighty dollar. That's what is about to bring me to what happened at the bar.
But wait, anyway, these internet people control everything i see in the computer. The other people control everything I read in the newspaper. Other people control what I see on TV (notes that Hess' TV wasn't working--too much work? Not enough people?). It's all compartmentalized and divison-of-labor and all that shit. It's a careful working machine. It controls all my inputs, it knows my outputs. It is better than big brother could ever be, because they are apparently "on my side." Whatever that means. And no, I don't know what that means.
I'll tell you the same thing I said in my car, after the bar, and before I returned to Hess' place. (After Hess' place I went home, because I was about to ask another 3-year B.C. chick to come over, but he was having aforementioned family issues.) Anyway, I said aloud, "yeah I know what it was with that guy, what he get..."
(I'm paraphrasing this, I do not remember my actual words.)
"Four figures? Five figures? He was smart, he pushed it to the edge, but didn't go over. He made you sweat. He danced around the idea of being part of a reality show, but didn't say the actual words. Because he knew that once he did, it would be like a swat team descending on the scene. Immediately dozens of people would rush into the area and 'secure' it. No one would be able to get in or out. But it would be okay, as everyone near by would probably be "on the team." A la, the police drama shows where they have the good guys swoop in on the person, but it's no big deal since everyone else in the bar is a cop?
"Anyway,--" And I'm totally paraphrasing this shit, I didn't say half of it, but the meaning was the same, "he was smart he didn't let the whole deal slip, because once he did, it would be all over for him, they would have him out of the area in seconds. Whisk. Gone. Never to be seen again. (By me.) As he will have been paid a very large amount of money to never speak about it again. Yes, a non-disclosure agreement. So, if you hear about this guy, and suddenly he 'can't talk about it' any more. You know why. It's because he made bank. And what if the swat team did descend? Would I flip out? What would I say? I'd say where's my mother fucking check!"
That last sentence, I definitely did say. I was sure to punctuate it with a statement that I put up with that kind of shit only if there is pay off for me. Because as far as artistic outlets are concerned... I got plenty. I got the internet, I got my music, I can reach as many people as I want to, the only limitation is my ability. But as far as money is concerned... Well, I'm strapped. I'm no good at money. I am an artist, not a money guy.
So, I'm willing to put up with a lot of shit if it will make me money in the long term. Otherwise, I'm just a fuck-up with a liberal arts degree (soon two of them) and a delusional spell and basically no hopes of making more than 5 figures a year my entire life. Let's be honest. But, should such crazy theories be true, and I am the object of attention, then yes, I will make a lot more money. I will likely see 6 figures. I am an idiot when it comes to money, but even I will be able to make some money off this once it "breaks."
That day when the facade comes down. And there's the big "reveal." But again, it is like faith, we never expect God to come down and show us he is here. Once God is gone, who do we believe in? Why not something wonderful, and a little scary, and it entertains my mind, and heck, it might even make me more biological viable (in relation to my genes surviving).
Okay, I am getting tired, and, as I said in the car once I got home, no matter what happened tonight, it's still the smart thing to go to sleep, and get up, and go to work tomorrow. Since I have nothing as definitive as a camera in my face, and until that happens, how can I dispute the existence of God?
Because look at this guy who talked to me at the bar. The one who may have made five figures tonight. The guy who I swore talked to me as a confidant in a grand and exuberant game. One in which we both almost instinctively knew the rules. And we talked in that way of guessing and second guessing each others moves like a game of chess, or some dialog from the tv show house (one of the few shows I'll admit watching--and yes in Reality #2, which is what I'm going to call it from now on, in #2 they are changing their scripts because they are fans of me watching them and being fans of them).
Anyway, this guy only started talking after I got to the bar. You see, like I said, I had talked to Hess after I got done with work. I took a little longer than usual because I went to Wendy's and has some meal and checked out some ... /probably/ jail bait. She could have been as old as 24 though. Honestly. I did not know, and I only looked at her. But she was fine.
Anyway, she might have recognized me and was attracted to my fame. Anyway.
I left work later than I told him. I got to around his house, and got some gas. I called him, "yo, I'm nearby, I'm at [cross-streets]." Him, "yo, check it out [family shit]." Me, "fuck, I guess I'll drive around or waste time for 45 minutes." Him, "naw come down to this [3-year-B.C.] bar." "Cool." (Already I was thinking he has family shit, if #1, I want to do whatever he wants, if #2, he's pretty fucking desperate to use that shit, I will play along.
Anyway, I get to the bar, after getting lost. I drove around the area a little bit, and saw the people crowded outside the bars for saint patrick's day. I was driving with my window down (and the recorder going, of course). I got to the bar, wrote down my idea about delusions=faith and then went inside. Actually, before I went inside, I waited at the doorway, and listened to the music.
As I said in the car (and yes, I do say a lot more things in the car than I care to admit usually, but hey, this is the last post of this board--after this I'm returning to thegreenroom. Besides this is all about "recovering from addiction"--that's the old mentality. The, hate myself, and I'm doing something wrong mentality. The, as long as my mom frowns on it, it must be wrong, mentality. Now I am of the, fuck, don't get me started on why mentality. I got carded. I mean, I got the I.D.--I'm in the system. I'm now known in certain places as being a smoker of certain substances for certain medicinal values.
I'm over fucking feeling like an "addict" just because I do something that makes me feel good, on a responsible basis.
Anyway, enough about that, it makes me angry.
"They got a war on drugs so the police can bother /me/?"
Anyway, I said in my car, this place better have good music... Or maybe I said that about Wendy's earlier in the day... And that I would have said in my office (again, no place is isolated from #2, and thus I'd take an opportunity out of ear-shot of anyone to acknowledge #2). Anyway, forget what I may have said in the car, I said when I was outside the bar, "modern music." Actually I muttered it. Because that's what I heard, and that means I probably wasn't going to have a good time. But hey.
I go in, and yes, there are women in bikini's. It is a bikini bar. I'd never been to one before this bar (again, only been at it 3 times). I've been to strip clubs, rare occasions, bachelor parties, rites of passage, that's pretty much it. But never a bikini bar, it was a trip then, and it was a trip tonight also.
Anyway, I walk in, and I immediately think, what do I want, I want to drink, where should I go? The bar. Should I stand between some people or should I get a nice cozy seat so I won't have to be all awkward and close to people? I'll get a seat. I go to the bar, and person, empty seat, person, empty seat, person, empty seat, person, empty seat, person, empty seat, empty seat, empty seat. So, of course, I go to the end of the bar where there is an empty seat offering me a buffer on both sides.
So I go there, and I sit down, not realizing there is a glass of green beer in front of me. Then I think, well, maybe this beer is for all the patrons, as kind of like "welcome, start drinkin'!" kind of thing. But I can't be sure. And there's this guy (person in "person, empty seat, empty seat, empty seat"). Well, normally I do not talk to people. We all know that. But I did not want to take someone's spot. Especially since it was near the door, and people smoked right there, as I have in the past. So, I said, innocently.
"Is someone sitting here?" He was kind of surprised. Fuck, he's talking to me? Reality #1 is he flirting with me? Reality #2 is he on to me, as I am part of the conspiracy machine? So, we have an awkward conversation. He tells me that there are people sitting there, but they "wouldn't mind."
So, I keep my seat, and order from the /very/ attractive bartenders. And, the guys from outside come in. They look like older guys. Could be hippy era. So, boom, I immediately wonder if they are FOM (Famous Old Musicians). As oppose to when I see, well, african american, some latino, but mostly african americans of any age, then I think boom, FOOCM (Famous Old Or Current Musician). Anyway. They seem amicable. I have a conversation with one that suggests he is a local, as does my conversation with the other.
The one with the other seemed very innocent to me. We were talking about the benefits of nipple versus skin. That is to say, we were commenting on the bikinis the girls were wearing. He was arguing that it would be better if they wore T-Shirts, no, tank tops, with no bra. The main point, no bra. So you would have nipple action. And then we got down to the primal level, and I had to agree toward the end, he was convincing me that while I was seeing more skin with the bikini girls ("I could see that on the beach" he correctly says) I wasn't seeing any nipple, and that would have waaaaay more excited me. He said like nearly see-through. I was like, where you can see all the contours. Then I believe we both started salivating.
Anyway, that was that, he went to the bathroom. I had another shot, then decided I wanted to smoke a cigar. No, wait, I wanted to hit on some girls. I asked the bartender "hey, there's only two chicks here that are near my age, do you know if either of them are attached?" She, coyly, and in a way that was quite fetching in a revealing bikini "no, but maybe you should ask them." So, again, as I was drinking and thus a bit out of my social anxiety zone (which just makes things easier for Reality #2), I went up to the chicks and said...
"Are you alone?" (No response.) "Are you with somebody?" (I'm realizing this is coming off awkward, totally should have warmed into this.) "What?" "I mean, are you single? Either of you?" (The girl I'm not talking to looks vacantly.) "No, we're not single, either of us." And with that I thanked them very much and walked dejectedly toward the outer area where people smoke cigarettes (and perhaps other things--as per one of my previous experiences there). (Note, I haven't known any so friendly to herb B.C. bars... No, wait, there was the... I almost said what the name of the bar was, shame on me, but it was in San Diego.) Anyway.
I went out to that area also because as I was writing faith=delusions I saw a hot chick out there. But she might have been pushed out as she wasn't "in on it" and it was all #2. Oh yes, I have these thoughts ALL the time, I live constantly in these two realities, it never goes away. Even when I'm alone. The only thing that changes is my acceptance and feelings toward it.
Anyway, I go out there. No hot chick. But I sit down, and the guy who talked to me about nipples versus skin comes out. And I ask him if he smokes. He didn't, I don't think, and was partly involved in getting a frankfurter or some kind of thing (they were giving them away free outside the bar in this little alcove). Anyway, we talked, and as we did, there were two guys, both blond, one kinda looked like Rick Ashley or the guy from some cheesy kung-fu straight to video film that I must have seen when I was high. (Haven't actually seen the Rick Ashley, if that's his name, video yet.)
They were kinda minding their own business, or maybe they were watching me and nipple guy. But I didn't notice them. Suddenly, a guy outside the alcove (there's a kind of wire fence that is partly see through) starts calling Steve or Kevin or whatever bland motherfucking name that guy had. Anyway, Rick Ashley seems to recognize that name, and he gets pulled by his friend, kind of brusquely to the door to the outside of the alcove. He looks a bit stunned, I'm not exactly sure what is going on, and this guy keeps calling him, and they all leave.
After that, nipple guy says. And I swear to fucking god or anyone you want me to, this is what I think he says:
"What? Didn't they have enough extras?"
I'm pretty damn sure he said that. He might have said something something something extras. All I know for sure was the word "extras." Definitely heard the word extras. And I definitely saw the guy behind the bratwurst dispensing table give a look of panic and look directly and expectantly at me. And then back at the guy. And then, suddenly, they left into the bar.
Okay. I say. (Internally.) That's kind of weird. Shit like that happens all the time, I over hear someone say something that suggests I'm part of a reality show (there was the guy on Main who looked crazy and said to another guy who was enjoying my music "don't let on, if he heard you sing, he'd know who you were"--there was the kids outside the health food store "i wonder what it would be like if I was the star of a reality show"--shit like that). So, I dismiss it. But I still say aloud, "he did say 'extras.' "
Think nothing of it, and smoke more of my Black and Mild.
Suddenly a guy comes through the door. Looks like Elvis Costello meets Billy Joel meets someone Middle Eastern. No clue whatsoever he could be, if he was FuhCuhMuh, A famous contemporary musician. Anyway. (And yes, I should title this post "Anyway.")
Anyway, this guy is a fucking trip. He is beyond any guy I've ever known who might have been in "the game." This guy was using it to the fucking max. He was clearly good at acting, whether that was his profession or not, reminded me of when I was on Hollywood Blvd and someone who looked like Al Pacino asked me who discovered America (I said he looked like Al Pacino, he thanked me for the compliment).
This guy was fucking insane. But smart. But insanely smart. The only way the conversation could make any sense is if we were both talking obliquely about a reality show. Or at least some kind of vast conspiracy involving surveillance. It was strange, he even had props. He took some money, and he lit it on fire, and then he pretended to "smoke" it. Playing along, I asked him for a hit, and said it was some good shit.
I'm telling you: a trip. I can't remember all the conversation. But it was like talking to a KGB agent of 50 years. The guy was all about, "yeah, well, 'they' don't want it to escalate, or want me to do what I want to do, because you know what would happen, I mean, they could pay me enough, but I don't care about the money, see, I burn it up, I don't play by their rules, so they will need to get rid of me, it's all a big... ... Hey man, see, I'm a democrat, fuck republicans. Naw man, I'm a republican..." Suddenly his stuff which all very abstract seemed to have some kind of artifice to it kind of degraded.
But I was determined to keep him on this two level conversation. The kind I was reading about in Invisible Man. It was, indeed, just like the conversation in (what was it, chapter 4?) which the old vet talks to anonymous narrator and white trustee. He tells them that it's all a game, and that the white trustee wants to believe what he wants, and the narrator wants to believe what he wants, but the reality is x y and z. And it's very compelling but all draped in metaphors and hisotorical allusions.
I mean, for christ sake, we started talking about the damn crusades. Somehow it got into a whole muslim versus judeo-christian (or anglo saxon) or something jive. And how the game, as he was referring to it, goes that deep. I was finally lost. I couldn't understand how his ethnicity, unless he was telling me that his ethnicity was part of make-up, and he wasn't that ethnicity at all... I just didn't understand, so I let him talk.
A few people came and tried to distract us. And he even said to the couple who sat down near by "like them, they're in on it, but they're just like the rest of us, we're not rich bro..." And then he went into money things. But he definitely acted like they were part of the conspiracy, and they looked guilty... If they were or not, that's beside the point.
People tried to distract us, a guy came by rolling a jay, and you can bet I would have asked to hit it, but he must have realized I was caught up in this conversation with Elvis Joel Abdul. He vaporized. This conversation was a trip. A fucking trip, and there is only /one/ possible explanation, besides #2. Namely, that he was delusional as well.
And when I got home, and looked to see what kind of corned beef goodness my mother had left for me in the kitchen it struck me. He was muslim! Or muslim looking. He was paranoid about the Homeland Security Whatever the Fuck coming after HIS ass. He probably thought I was some spook. And my mind was a little at ease.
But still.
#2 is always there.
And with that, I think I will end "awbvious (recovering from addiction)" the rest of this blog will be found on:
http://awbvious.com/thegreenroom.htm#recent
Or just check the home page, there should be a link. Anyway, y'all should be
able to read this whether #1 or #2, my last words (for the evening, chill, I'll
be there tomorrow--I just probably won't be there with blogger and google who
might have had the ability to overthrow the might of #2 if they thought it was
"evil"--heh... See how easy all this shit is?
Much love for everyone.
Thursday, March 18, 2010 2:51 AM
Sunday, March 21, 2010 2:48 PM I am an idiot. Why? Because I let #2 decide my actions. I should never, ever do that. Even when it means my own safety? I don't know. But probably. I'm sure my mother would say the same, and thus I shouldn't have acted the way I did. You see, I made some conjecture with someone (and, no, at this time, it is not prudent to say who or what happened--only after our relationship mends and she feels comfortable enough will I--and then, only within the bounds that she perscribes--damn, I've already let on that I'm talking about a woman) based on a possibility of #2. It wouldn't be rational in the least to think she was anything but what she seemed, were it not for the fact that I could be famous. If I am famous, then I must (or I assume I must) approach everyone differently. I can never know if (assuming they are someone I have met or known after I got "famous," or status, whatever you want to call it) they are going to use me in any way to get (perhaps) famous themselves--or at the very least monetary benefit. It is a depressing and lonely way of looking at things, but nonetheless it is how I have started to look at things in the last 4 years... Well, maybe 5 (wait, make that 7) years. Whenever it was that I went through that psychopath. It was then that I realized I am not as smart as I want to be. There are others who are smarter and will take advantage of the fact that they can see more steps ahead of me. The only consolation is that my existence is so subsistant, only someone who is coming from a worse situation (or can plausibly see a much better situation for me--and, thus, us) will want to manipulate me to their own ends. I.e. the person is so poor, they could use the meager $5000 I have in the bank, and thus it would be worth their interests to go in a mind game with them. But this is unlikely, for them to compete on such a level, they will no doubt be more successful in life than me. (For I am smart, just not in ways that seem to translate to monetary gain.) But, the big "however" is if I am en route or am famous. If my future suddenly looked bright enough to encompass 6 figures. Then. Then. I will have to think about every man and woman who I'm meet. Even people I used to know, I will have to see if they treat me differently because of what they might gain. This, of course, is the small price of having financial security (not only for myself, but indeed for loved ones and future generations). I am willing to pay this price. But, even if I do pay this price, how (and should) this effect my dealings with people? Well, I say that even if it is #1 or #2, I will always treat people curteously, kindly, all that christlike bullshit. And I tried, but I acted on fear, and that is perhaps not christlike--or what christ would want--and by christ, of course, I mean our broad interpretation of the character. I may have fucked something up. That's what really matters. Someone who could definitely make my life richer in many ways, I may have caused to, perhaps for her own sake and safety (and thus, how could I ever blame her) to need to stop involving me in her life. Or to put up boundaries. Or a number of things. I only know two things. One, I was genuinely... No, I can't say what any emotion was, except that I knew I was operating on the same level of truth I always do. But those emotions could have been part of my subconscious desire to sabotage things. (And, oh, have I got examples of that.) For you see, I have sabotaged so many relationships. The only ones that I do not sabotage turn out to hurt (nay, use--definitely a better word) me. But there is no question I have had a relationship (a 2-1/2 year relationship) that did not use me. Or, to paraphrase Bill Withers, she might have been using me, but I was sure using her to do the things she did. The only difference is it was all good and healthy with her, as opposed to the girl 2 years after I broke up with her that used me, manipulated me, and without care. Of course, one can say, what is manipulation? Where is the line between that and just doing things so the person likes you? Ah, it all comes to motives. And we are back to #1 or #2. If it is #1, I had no reason to do what I did ([censored]--I think it is safe to say that much). If it is #2... Well, I probably still had no excuse. Fuck, no matter how I look at it, I'm entirely at fault. That's a bit annoying. Sunday, March 21, 2010 3:09 PM Sunday, March 21, 2010 3:18 PM There are two things I must do. 1, I must enclose this all in a white or grey box. As I am not currently high. Hmm, I will have to change one of the colors because you can not see it now. Suffice it to say, the text that was this color, was originally the color of this background. The second is I must delete what I "think it is safe to say that much." What I did was nothing horrible, so don't conjecture too much, but I can't even say that much without possibly revealing more than I want. The fact is, this person and I discussed my blog, and that this person read my blog, so of course I asked if it was okay to put this person in my blog (she said she was fascinated to see what I would write). However, this was before other events that might change the way she feels about it. So I must be cautious as I care very deeply for her. Sunday, March 21, 2010 3:24 PM Sunday, March 21, 2010 6:06 PM I am, of course, waiting anxiously for a response. But I should not expect one, even in the next couple of days. I know this. I asked my mother how to proceed, she says to let her determine the time of how things proceed (if at all). In fact, my mom's first thing was to give her a few weeks to think it over. Perhaps I shouldn't have sent my most recent email (but it was only a few hours ago, and I don't /think/ I said anything that will hurt my chances at friendship). I said she might not want to wait that long. Then she said, make the rate of interaction up to her. Do not force her interaction with you, but instead let it go at her pace. (Though, she said, you may have blown it entirely and she might not want to continue any form of relationship.) So. I must wait. And that is hard. But it is the right thing to do...... All I can do is blog, I know she knows my blog address (well, she might have only the www.awbvious.com/blog.html address, not the www.awbvious.com/thegreenroom.htm address... But I can't email her just to tell her that, not now, I must let it remain in my mind... and hope that if she goes to blog.html and gets redirected and it comes 404, she'll know to check the home page.... Hmm, I should edit the last post, I should be able to do that without having blogger restart its FTP). So, though I can not (or at least should not) email her, she can come here and know, should it make any difference... It might not.... And again, I will have no one to blame but myself. How many bad experiences must I go through before I learn how to interact properly with people? Why was I so stupid? I can not beat myself up, but I can be respectful. With certain people I know it is not I send an email, then you, then I, and so forth. She is not one of those people, not yet, and besides, GOD I FUCKED UP. For myself? No. Yes, but not more than I have in the past. But did I inadvertantly hurt someone? Yes. Have I done that in the past? Yes. Females especially? Yes. Has it ever worked out okay in the end? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But mostly, no. I am not at the point of "do not contact me again." I have gotten to that point before. Or I have gotten there without her saying it explicitly, and then I idiotically try to email occassionally hoping for a different reaction (to date, has not happened). I do not think I am at that point. Or I would be very, very, very sad. I must wait. Sunday, March 21, 2010 6:21 PM

Why else would I be under surveillance? I often try to think my way out of my delusions, by looking for alternatives. I thought just now, what if I was under surveillance because "people" thought I was a "person of interest." Why? I do not commit any major crimes, nor have plans to. I do not seem threatening in the least...
Or am I? After all, I have a delusion that I am the center of all the attention, and this delusion is connected to a certain company and certain people. Perhaps, just perhaps, they freaked out because I said I had a delusion. Perhaps that is why I am under surveillance (assuming I was, which I am almost certainly not). Because they think I'm a potential threat, because I'm /that far gone./ I could try to explain to them it is like a religion, and benign, and it doesn't hurt anyone...
But they might think it means I might snap at any time. And then I might go after someone, say, who makes a whopping amount of money, and can thus, for their own personal safety, employ lots of people to make sure a potential lunatic doesn't hurt them. It makes sense. Can't really blame them, if I had a whopping amount of money, and I knew someone was, let's say, unusually preoccupied with me... Well, I would check them out. I would see if they have any violence in their past.
For if there was, if there is reason to suspect, even slightly, there might be danger... Then, yes, I'd probably even pay to watch them indefinitely. BUT, I am not a danger, I have no history of violence, I have only one drug habit that everyone knows about (and it's weed!), and in every stressful situation I've been in, I've cowered or ran. There is absolutely no question, if they have been watching me for /that/ long, that I am a non-violent person. There is no violence in my history. I was never victimized systematically. There are none of the red flags to suggest that I could do anything but, well, embarass myself and maybe others.
So, if that was the reason for surveillance, I'd like to think they are smart enough to realize this... Of course... Let's say there's some very important person, and they are afraid of you, so they spend lots of money to watch your every move. Let's say they never do anything dangerous or make them seem "worth" watching (i.e. you're not running a reality tv show). Then maybe the people watching you portrayed you as something different, something dangerous. Thereby encouraging the client to spend more money watching, and thus making you seem way fucking worse in reality (whatever that is).
The client will want to see evidence. Could they manufacture a scene where I am hurting someone? Or ranting that I will hurt people? Sure. Would it be very convincing, probably not. And hopefully the client (or my audience--should anyone portray me as anything but non-violent) would know.
Anyway, I've been going through some shit. All I can hold on to is a feeling I got, with someone, that was very scary. It was very primal. And it could be mistaken. But it can't be ignored. I have told my mother and sister about it, and, to be safe, my friend Hess--because he doesn't know the person--unless he's into the whole conspiracy, in which case, he can look into the person for me. But anyway, I have covered my bases that only a really irrational person would harm me, as that person would be the only suspect I have ever met since my Psychopathic Girl Friend of 5 years...
Or I could be in love. Either way. (Note. Flippancy!)

So, I am waiting for my friend to respond. He may not want to talk me to when I am like this. I was like this with everyone after I met her. She "awakened" something. It was more than a little frightening, and maybe unreal.
[23:40] [my friend]...
[00:51] awbvious: are we here?
[00:51] awbvious: help me deal with these two male mosquito flies in my room.
[00:51] awbvious: There was a third, but i swatted it and it went somewhere...
[00:52] awbvious: I tried turning on the light outside and turning off the light
inside... Waited at least 20 minutes ruminating on whether the girl i met had
aspergers or we both did.......
[00:52] awbvious: I come back, there's fucking three of these giant behemoth
insect things on my wall.
[00:53] awbvious: i don't want to kill anything. but it will be a pain to transport
them out of my room.
[00:53] awbvious: Unless they are visual illusions. or robots. or hallucinations.
They are annoying the fuck out of me.
[00:54] awbvious: (Feels very persecuted.) And narcissistic.
[00:55] awbvious: notes, if you invent a device which can easily transport bugs
that come into your domicile, to the outdoors. Thus avoiding any killing. You'd
make a fortune.
[00:56] awbvious: needless to say i'm also tripping.
[00:56] awbvious: but i'm feeling good... imagines you are eating something.
[00:56] awbvious: (thus proving i don't have autism.)
[00:57] awbvious: okay, if you don't get back to me, in oh... Wait, it is almost
1 AM. He will be finishing his program with his wife. If I'm going to pretend
I think outside of my own perspective, i should at least be good at it.
[00:58] awbvious: oh, and yes, I did maybe meet a psychopath who reveal itself
only three days ago.
[00:59] awbvious: (Had to call my mommy, and then have her tell me to go home.
Now i'm analyzing everything because that's all we did the whole time we were
together. Too much analyzing though, one analyzes, is not good.
[00:59] awbvious: End parenthesis.
[01:01] awbvious: yeah, so i may be in love or i may be in fear for my life.
all i know is i had a fucking weird trip (yes, I was a bit high when it happened--I
only smoked weed with her since i had a hangover from the drinking which i did,
needlessly to say, to excess)
[01:01] awbvious: You can also not read any of this, it is just thoughts that
will go nowhere.
[01:02] awbvious: (Waits for show to end and you to finish chatting with your
wife and then coming to your computer.)
[01:03] awbvious: Okay, I'm putting this on my blog at 1:15 (desperate for audience).
[01:05] awbvious: (damn, can't do that because i'd be telling the world something
that i don't know... well, i wouldn't out anyone unless i feared for myself,
and this woman gave me predator vibes... All i know for sure are two things.
A) She's extremely intelligent. B) She's a great actress. C) At some level at
some point she must have lied to me when she cried, and then smiled and i told
her she shouldn't do that.
[01:07] awbvious: Then i must think all of our compatibility is an act, and
that I am being singled out for some reason for exploitation of some kind, a
la my ex-girlfriend 5 years ago, who took advantage of the fact that I had horrible
skills at judging people by appearance (and maybe smell?) that they are dangerous
people.
[01:09] awbvious: I.e. the whole thing was a bunch of lies, everything about
her, that made her appealing (for whatever reason) could have been manufactured
to play to all of my desires. The only thing, i told my mother, that would really
make me feel alright, was if I had lots of resources, and I could do a thurough,
thurough background check on her. Everything she said to me... Okay, I would
say to her first, come clean to me about everything, and then I will make my
judgments.
[01:11] awbvious: Hmm, I think that is what I am going to do. Wait for her to
come clean to me. And, it stands to reason, if I must let her determine the
pace, I can't email her right now my question. I must wait until she emails
me. So, to ease my conscious (i was going to type conscience, but funny how
that slips) I'm going to check my email for an email from her. Oh... But it
may manipulate me so... She could give me a truth she conceives, but until I
got, essentially, third hand proof, I wouldn't know what it said.
[01:12] awbvious: And the fact was, I asked her very plainly if she read my
blog, or she said it, i was already drunk by then. I of course immediately asked
if it would be okay to write about her in my blog. She said she would be very
interested.
[01:14] awbvious: The fact is. If she didn't want me to write in my blog about
her, I wouldn't, if she sent me any communication to say "no do not tell
people anything about us in any way shape or form". But I have nothing
to suggest that. She said she would be interested in what I wrote about her.
So, that is all I need, I do not need to make judgements as to what is best
for her, and damned if i think writing ever hurt anyone when it has no agenda
besides rationalization. (Provided rationalization ends with "good"
not "evil"--should they, of course, exist.)

Rationalizing is a high. Distilling things to their most essential, it is addictive to a creative and curious brain.
Fact, the creative brain is useful to the machine we call our genes no? Genes are a machine, we are merely extensions of them.
So, what do Genes "want?" To reproduce! To continue! Why, because that is what "want" does, it causes things to happen even though nothing seems to bring them to happen.
Anyway, our genes want us to keep procreating, so we do. we do. But wait.
What does the program want us to do? It wants us to evolve! So it will not die. It will adapt. So, we must make ourselves as best as possible to adaptation.
So, that's what we do, we've adapted to the point when our Damn, i haven't checked my email. I should not be afraid of her.
She has done nothing to scare me. I will not take whatever she writes me, and then harm myself or others. I can thus read my email... I will try.
The woman was like ...
My email is down. I am trying to rationally determine what is going on. If I am part of a "game" then I am being cut off from her, because they fear what she has to say. Thus, if it is option two, it is really unsportsmanlike to not let me open my email.
There it goes.
Nothing.
Okay. She has not tried to contact me, or she cannot contact me.
The only reason I would not be able to contact her was because I was blocked by "them." If so, I have to ask myself is "it" (that which I can not control) worth believing in a benevolent god?
The fact was, I might not even be finding a person with a place anywhere on the autism scale. She could have been playing off me. The fact was, I would always keep talking, and she would just ask me things like "why" or ... Pretty much that was it. I would then go about all the rationalizing I do in my brain. "I can't do this, I must do that. So I can finish this, and give this person five-hundred percentile affection."
Anyway, I was saying just about everything, she just repeated stuff about herself that all magically coincided with things about me.
It was, as I was telling my mother, "too good to be true."
Or rather, "if it seems too good, it probably is."
Just like, it seems too good that I'm the object of a reality show that would thus make me lots of money and perpetrate my genes? Yeah, probably like that.
Anyway, we were talking about genes (shut up, boy, sing while you slave--I try not to get bored). Ah yes, so you want to keep the program going on and on and on. But the program will work so well, it will create a brain. A brain that can even invade the program and change it. So, this brain, became technological. It thought about
Fuck, one of the male mosquitos have moved.
Fuck, now...
Oh, anyway, it all involves faith, and how this is faith, and it's all substitution.

[01:34] awbvious: Yay
[01:34] awbvious: I will stop blogging.
[01:34] [him]: heh
[01:34] [him]: let me go turn off my video game, then
[01:35] awbvious: ah.
[01:35] awbvious: how equally appropriate.
[01:35] awbvious: so, you don't need to read all that.
[01:35] awbvious: basically i met the most intelligent person I think I've ever
met, and I freaked out.
[01:36] [him]: i dunno
[01:36] [him]: you are forgetting you have met me
[01:37] awbvious: Aaaah, yes.
[01:37] [him]: also, unrelatedly, did you acquire that second link?
[01:37] awbvious: well, clearly I mean within the time... Um, yes i did.
[01:37] [him]: so anyway
[01:37] [him]: there is boring drama behind it, but basically it is a superior
version of the first
[01:37] [him]: have you worked out a plan to eliminate this person?
[01:38] awbvious: Hmm. yes, i have decided if she is definitely trying to hide
something. Then I will do my best to expose it to the world.
[01:38] awbvious: Once I have done that, she is defused.
[01:38] awbvious: maybe she killed someone.
[01:38] [him]: and then revenge!
[01:38] [him]: or cake
[01:38] awbvious: maybe she was just abused.
[01:38] [him]: heh.
[01:38] [him]: *handwaves*
[01:38] awbvious: Not revenge, just peace of mind.
[01:38] [him]: both are good
[01:39] awbvious: indeed.
[01:39] awbvious: okay, hold on, i'm REALLY going to finish blogging, then we'll
open that link.

So. My vacation is going well. I am spending much time with Hess, as much as he'll deal with (must not think of self as a burden). The fact is it is good to be social, I need the practice. I flipped him out though, when i gave him the story. Why him? Because I told him, he is A.D. (But not in so many words.)
Oh that debaucle. I must go to windows update. and get security essentials whateverthefuck it is called. My firefox is misbehaving and certain programs won't go away as they should.
I do miss writing in colors though. I've always said, take advantage of your medium. To everyone who talks to me.
"aspergers!" I said, when I saw /that guy/ from /that channel/ "he's got it, as do I possibly, at least I got that impression after my encounter"--then he said something mildly disparaging to make things humorous--"no like bill gates." For doesn't he make you want to have aspergers?
Is that what you have? Or think you have?
I told him simply, no, just bad people skills.
Or, rather, I've thought about it, and already dealt with it. (I forgot to mention accepted.)
It was strange, walking toward the /place/ and there was a picture of tony clifton. I said tony clifton. She might have said it would have been great to see him. I said, I would be..." Oh, damn, would somebody roll the tape for me?
fuck, i have a pustule inside my nostril. it is blog humor.
Ooo, i like this color. I was struck by how much people are obsessed with appearance when I watched television with Hess--and tried to watch what he wanted. Succeeded, but ran commentary the whole time. Damn this pustule. Hmm, maybe I should be like faulkner wanted to be and use color coding to signify a person, naw, too constraining.
it's been fun, but I must disfigure myself.

Thursday, March 25, 2010 3:14 PM So, I am over the fear of the revelation that I may have some form of autism (most likely asperbergers--however it is spelled). My mother says I shouldn't come to any rash conclusions. After all, she said, people used to be like "everyone" has ADD (or ADHD) when it first became "diagnosed." And they just started perscribing away. Now, though, they are slowing down. She says I should bring it up to my psychiatrist (who I will see Friday) and I will. I told her, though, that while I don't know if I have anything, I do know I am not normal. But that I realized a very long time ago. Thursday, March 25, 2010 3:17 PM |
Friday, March 26, 2010 1:42 AM
I have decided something that has been bugging me for a long time. If there was any kind of conspiracy against/for me, be it legal, or government, or private, or art. Art can still exist with accountability. I want my mother to know. I want her to know if (and only if, as of the time of this writing) they are using means that are subconscious. That is to say, they are in any way possibly taking my free will, because I can not, say, hear what is going on. For example, I might be communicated to with a device (like the one that I /might/ have found before in my ear). I am tempted to take it off my shelf and inspect it, but it could be changed by now. I simply know there was something in my ear, that may have been wax. Doesn't matter. The fact is, the only way hidden subconscious directions can be given (as far as I know) is on some radio frequency. Now, that radio frequency could be a digital frequency. Namely the frequency by which the device that is, say, in my ear (for there may be one in there right now, and of course, there is no reasonable way for me to find out) determines to emit the vocal commands that effect me, should be detectable. If a reality show had nothing to hide, it would allow law enforcement to make sure there was always someone on the look-out for subconscious manipulation. For that, my friends, is against the fucking constitution. We should all have free will. We should all have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So, someone should be on the lookout for electronic signals of some sort. I can only imagine sounds on frequencies undectable to the human ear. But if there is accountability, then the reality show would have someone to make sure there are no frequencies outside of the human ear that can't be explained by, say, wifi connections or sometihng... Of course, a wifi connection could connect to a device that was implanted, either in the ear, or just in everything I am around. My computer speakers, my car speakers, anything that makes noise. Then those devices could emit the subconscious (god i am getting tired) sound waves that hit the ear and then go into our brains and think they are actually either a) our own thoughts or b) those of god. For c) that they are someone else's is extremely unlikely. No one would honestly think c) no one is going to imagine that. I didn't. Until 4 years ago, when I went through exactly the same thing I went through today. Exactly. I was having a dialogue with someone in my head. I wasn't sure if it was myself, and no, I don't know if this was a dialogue with myself either. I don't know who helped me to the conclusions, but they are ones I really think I believe in. Namely, that there is always accountability. I can't say for sure what the punishments (if any) should be. But that no matter how much one wants to make art, they have to let others in on it. And art is the only excuse I would accept for doing anything on a subconcious level. For monetary gain alone, it is pretty dispicable. But for art, I can understand someone trying to tap into a subconscious level. They may be tempted. They may, say, give me all the notes right before they came in a song, so I would sing it better. Or have me sing more often. Maybe all they do is increase the strength of whatever I am already thinking. Maybe the manipulation is chemical and not auditory. I just think chemical manipulation would be extremely difficult to pull of for that long. Ah, but today has only given me belief in the fact that something bad happened 4 years ago, not that anything has happened since then. I don't know about the whole delusions, whether they are delusions, any of that stuff. I do know that today as I did 4 years ago, I thought I was being manipulated without my knowing in anyway I could have forsaw. That manipulation scared me to the point where I thought, say, the worst would happen. And thus, I did. I am, almost completely sure, that the manipulation caused me to ... No, I don't know why it happened. Why I thought the worst had happened, I have a theory (but again, Occam's Razor is denying almost all my theories). My theory (and yes, I do think this is my theory) is that I was so feeling out of control, that I, well, I thought I was in the hands of someone "evil"--for if there is an evil, there is no doubt what I thought happened to me, was evil. Again, I thought I was being hurt on a physical level in very sensitive (both emotionally and physically) areas and I thought it was malicious. That means that yes, at one point, since the contract, I have thought I was hurt. Did I think I was being hurt tonight? No. In fact, my conclusion is that almost certainly whoever did it 4 years ago (if they did it, again) is not doing it again now, or at least is not doing it without accountability this time. This time, I really got the feeling there was someone there to ask questions to always make sure I didn't feel like I was being hurt. Before, I was asked questions, and they were intellectually curious questions, but they never really dealt with was I being hurt. This is the first time I feel I've been questioned and the questions are, have I been hurt. Now, I might have been asking these questions of myself. Do I think I am crazy if I think I can imagine a monologue to be a dialogue? No. For lots of people think they "talk to god" and I'm only thinking I'm "talking to science." Because it has a rational explaination. The great thing about the one revelation I did have, that there is indeed accountability, is it works whether I am atheist or not (something I haven't been sure of in this recent bout of internal interogation). If there is a god, then god would want there to be accountability--at least the god that I believe could exist, as best as I can define him this momment. And if there isn't a god, then we must rely on society. And society would ... It's been 5 minutes (I know that means nothing to you). Anyway, if there is a god. Hmm, I am now wondering if I am being manipulated to write. I only know I feel a lot of manipulation lately. Ever since that woman. She precipitated all this, and has me hyper aware, and making me decide what's the most I want to be manipulated. I want to be manipulated in the way that someone does things that are nice because I like them. That's for sure. I don't like being manipulated if I don't know the person's motives. But, anyway, I don't know if I would say STOP RIGHT NOW, you are manipulating me. I would say BE ACCOUNTABLE. Who to? My mother? The president of the united states? Law enforcement? At what level of law enforcement? Because, the fact is, I do believe in the law being wrong sometimes (like, in, oh, I don't know, marijuana). But mostly I stand by it. If the law was to know every bit about me so that they could know every bit about them... Fine. I have talked (in my head) about the deepest secrets I can think of. In all cases, I have decided they are nothing to be worried about as far as law enforcement is concerned. So, they should know. But who in law enforcement? The county sheriff? Is he good enough to decide. No. There is one thing, and it would go no matter who was using the subconscious methods, the president should know. If it was CIA telling me something subconsciously, and they thought, for national security, they mustn't tell the president. He's a big boy, and, very luckily, real smart this time around. So, yes, I would say, you could tell either my mother or the president. And telling the president might be a better option. For either case, though, I would probably insist that you make as much information as you have possible for him or her to decide. My mother, is smart enough, that if you gave her as much as information as she wanted, whatever she wanted, she would make the right decision. You could always try to convince her, I try to convince her on stuff ALL the time--like the marijuana thing. But essentially, if you tell her everything she wants to know, and if she wanted to know every damn detail of your operation short of the actual identies of those involved... You should tell her. And the same thing goes for the president. So, there are your options, if you want to give the big reveal. You'd be smart to tell my mother or the president first--and tell them that they can ask whatever they want, and you will have to give them that information as best as you can (again, except for people's identities). So, big reveal happens, everyone is smiling, yay, you're famous. (Though, if anything, today makes me think that I am not famous, but merely a victim that is only now getting the attention he deserves.) (Tough to accept, but hey.) So, everyone says I'm famous, musicians have been rooting for me this whole time, you'll even give me some money (not all of it at once, just a good faith gesture). Unless you also tell me that you've given complete transparency to my mother, so that she could pull the kill switch (for I do not trust that I will pull it--I will say it again, I have yet to pull it, I have yet to say--and don't know if I'll ever say--that I would want to be a part of grand art project). She should have the kill switch power, to say, this has gone far enough, and to be really able to say this is bad or good, she needs to know all the details that have to, in any way, subvert my free will. (Or the president. But I think any conspiracy, law enforcement or television company, would probably want to go through my mom--but hey, if the president's got the time to go over it, and make his decision--because whether or not people get to use subconscious control on a person is extremely import--then he should.) There's got to be accountability. Maybe the best accountability would be a symposium of scientists, 100 greatest scientists that you could gather, and people agreed that they were the best scientists for the job (no religious people, I don't trust them, except for my mother), and they decided I would be convinced what science says on the matter. As far as what God says on the matter--from everything I've seen and heard my entire life... My mother would know that. For I love my mother, very, very, very much. She has always known I was different, but she raised me the best she could despite it, she did it by being a reflection of christ, and promoting christ and christ's teachings. And I still believe that Jesus knew his shit, he might not have been the son of man (right now, my agnosticism is increasing only in that there's a masterplan, which means a god, which means a single god, almost certainly), but he's always said good shit as far as I can tell, and all the stories of what he did are all wonderful. And I am so blessed to have been taught that, so I can rely on it, even in times of uncertainty. When I do not know if there is a god, I can always say, if there isn't should I still do what Jesus says? And the answer is yes. (Oh, and no, I've never thought myself god, or jesus, at the most /maybe/ a prophet, not one that should be worshiped and believed no matter what I say--sorry.) (And yes, from what I've heard of Jesus, he really believed he was son of god--and I think anyone who's really smart and determines good always wins, might even come to the conclusion that they are being told that by god.) Oh yeah, I've had crisises of faith today. I have had probably as many as ten minutes actually believing there's a god. That's a record for as long as I remember. For as long as I've ever considered myself an atheist, that's for sure. So, today was therapeutic, but a little scary. And maybe I shouldn't tell you about it, because it may lose my friends. And I don't want to lose any friends. I was very fortunate to have Hess around me all today, as I truly believe he is a good person--smart, like that girl--but not bad. He doesn't seem bad. If Hess, however, is behind this, and he descovers that subconscious is bad, and he says he won't be a part of it ever again, that is, make sure it isn't done as best as he can without, say, ruining any role he might have, then cool. All that matters is the person(s) using subconscious methods (if they are) realize that you are taking away free will, and it is wrong. And it must stop. And you must be accountable. But not necessarily punished, and definitely, by no means, should any of this art be destroyed. Maybe the person who was responsible (assuming culpability is only for that one person, accountability is definitely not on one person, well, if accountability means that no one else knows... I can't define accountability without saying at the same time I think I can make judgment as to punishment) didn't want to make art, maybe they did, but as far as I'm concerned, art was made. And as an artist, I would like as many people as possible to eventually find out. If ever subconscious methods were used on me, or anyone, it needs to come to light. How, when, who, all that shit, I do not know. Heh, my friend is IMing me saying I am "treacherously blogging"--he is right. I must respond to him. Because no matter what I think today. I know I want friends.

Anyway, one of the questions that keep popping up in the imaginary interogation where the defendent is trying to prove that he's not to blame, as that is what it feels like, two people talking to me, whenever he gets to talk, they get to talk. Seems very fair. They have tipped their hand, which i assume is fine. Anyway, all bullshit, I'm tripping. And do I think that's bad? No, I'm not hurting anyone. I'm just processing some shit. That's what good about herb. I can kind of focus on this, and not let the rest of life's bullshit affect me. I could use alcohol to do that, but I would possibly turn violent. Instead I am having a green revelation. (yes i am a Get Fuzzy fan). Yeah, this trippin' I did today on this shit, it's all been processing, that's what I got to do, use my analytic skills to cure of something that has indeed only started with this girl.
Oh fuck, i was in a conversation with Stephen.
Okay, quickly. If I am being surveilled by any government or law enforcement agency that also, for whatever reason, used subconscious methods to maybe catch the perpetrator of the 4 years ago incident. They need to tell the president. It would make me feel much, much better if I could get to shake his hand. And only after I get to say this one sentence: "by shaking my hand, you realize you are saying that have access to all the methods of the operation that has taken place?" For he can...
Okay, now he's eyeing me, because he knows I'm online.
If it is not government or law enfocement, you only need to tell my mother, not the president. She needs to have complete access to all the methods and whatnot. Yep, accountability is a bitch, one way or the other, you always need to tell someone.

There is a need to define accountability. Accountability means there is no secret that is worth hiding between two people if both people are involved. If there is a secret you want to keep to yourself, that involved no harm being done, then alright. But if there is harm, of any kind, I believe it should be known to at least more than the two people (or one person, as the case may be) involved. In almost every case, though, there is going to be about two people. In accountability, there is always at least one person, other than the person with the secret or motive or whatever that harms someone else (i.e. it may be harming themselves to hide that their, say, dead father molested them, but if that person is still alive, then I think he is still in the equation, and thus, the molestation could not be kept to you and him). It is a basic fact, that unless it is a one-person activity, then there always needs to be another person observing without a motive. There always needs to be oversight. My mother, perfect example of oversight, I can trust that her motives will not involve exploiting me. So, I will make myself accountable to her. I would also suggest other people to be accountable to her if they interrupt my pursuit of happiness. (Life and liberty are two other things.) If they take away my liberty, well, i would say the only liberty worth prosecuting is the taking of free will--for other than two weeks after my four years ago incident where I was in psychiatric care, I did not feel like a prisoner. And those two weeks seemed to genuinely be in my best interest. And my mother would probably agree, were she to know all the facts. My mother doesn't need access to them without her asking for them, but you should make it pretty clear everything that involves any subconscious manipulation. Eh. I would really only be happy with all manipulation (without personal info). But subcoscious manipulation is my definite "she must know" category. Just as it is for the president. The subconscious manipulation (if it occurred) is the only thing that warrants a swift decision of termination of conduct status quo). All the details of that need to be available--if you are governmental agencies you really should convince the president into listening in on frequencies /of known interests of national security/. It's up to Obama whether that means he wants to know of everyone who is thus being surveilled. (I should hope that the president knows of every person that is being surveilled. No. I don't say he should be briefed on it every fucking morning. I'm saying the president should know the identities of all the targets. He might think to ask to look at the case involving me (were there such a case) but I'd like to think he could get that information as soon as he'd want. And, thus, if it doesn't seem unreasonable, I would like him to know about it, in my case, as I am perhaps more than just paranoid. What's the dollar amount "you" ask? Um...
Let me put it this way, if your in any branch of law enforcement (including the CIA), and you
If I was part of any conspiracy that was not large enough that it could tell the president and have him honestly believe them. Then, you're pretty much stuck with telling my mother. You have to convince my mother. You'll have to tell her everything, because you can't tell the president, and she will then decide your fate. And mine, for I trust her more than my own brain. For my brain has hurt me in the past. It has created a lot of good art. But ultimately it is not the best defense in surviving my genes. For that, my mother is, and I will continue to use that resource as long as I can. For I have had her in my life for 31 years, and I know she has never hurt me in those entire 31 years. 31 years! It's probably a record, but I'm guessing some other good people have managed it. She's never really hurt me that entire time. There have been some misunderstanding, and truths that were revealed later than I thought they should have been--but they have been truths I would have always said should be open (again, accountability--back then it was a matter of what to do that would be best for creating a happy home, now it is what is best for my well being), at this stage in my life, I think having something like this "hidden" is only a problem if that "hiding" is what caused the attack. For if it is, then I have no way of knowing if it will come again, so you'd have to be on high alert. Actually, you couldn't be, because--I'm thinking my mom is writing this, not me, but I agree with her--I could have a moment where I think I can talk, and I won't be able to. I will want to be able to scream, because I think I'm being hurt, but I'm not, but I'll think I won't be able to scream, and then I will hurt myself again. National security, let me think I'll hurt myself again. Entertainment or art? Art is harder to justify. For I sincerely believe that art can be made without hurting anyone, and it is hard to say there is much artistic value in things that come from hurting someone. But, one can not know they are hurting someone. For example, I would not have thought I was hurting myself if I agreed to this the whole time. What if I am now realizing that I am being hurt, or rather, that the fact I was definitely hurt (intentionally or unintentionally) is making me worry needlessly that I'll be hurt again? I can't be sure of that. I can't be sure that I'm being hurt or not, just from the fact that I went through what I was sure was hurt. But if that hurt could happen again--which it wouldn't be able to, if mom knew about it. Yeah, I don't have to worry if you tell mom, she just needs to know I was hurt once. She can make the decision of whether that one time of getting hurt (intentionally or unintentionally) is reason enough to cancel the whole shebang. But the point is, I'm not going to use the "safe word." I'm not going to say "let's stop this, it has gone too far, I don't feel good today, or yesterday, or say, since saturday" because I might get over that, and think, hey, this is great art. No. I am not going to use the "safe word" of "stop." I haven't said it yet, and I don't know if I ever would. My mother. Though. She would hear my arguments, over and over, and probably come up to a decision long before (but I learned back when I was 11, I believe, when I wanted to get fast food instead of going straight home from school, that I could present a more compelling argument, and she would in fact change her mind--but it's been pretty hard to think of other times since then) I ended with my arguments. I could give her everything I've thought these last couple days and have her decide then. The fact is, I'm pretty sure when I wake up in the morning, I'm still going to say this to my mother as soon as she wakes up, that, yes, mom, if I was a part of any conspiracy, be it law or art or entertainment or commerce or just some sick-mad-fantasy of some guy who found a great person to experiment on, because he wouldn't do it on himself... Whatever the conspiracy, if there is conspiracy, that I'd want her to know about it. All of it. Except the personal info of people and anything else they can really convince her that she doesn't need to know (as long as it has nothing to do with my manipulation--I'm pretty sure if it has to do with manipulating my behavior instead of just watching it--she needs to know). So, provided I am strong enough to bring this up, for I might not, it took me a long time to open up to her at all--in fact, it took me calling the cops on myself. Hmm... I wonder. Maybe I have been under investigation (mildly) since they took me in to the med ward. They go "he's not psychotic, he shouldn't hear voices." "What do you think doctor?" "Maybe he was being told them on some kind of frequency." The cops go, hmm, and look into it. But they find nothing. So, they kind of let the case go cold. Then (that girl) happens. And after that the case is interesting again. Maybe because of who that girl is. Or she looked into it. Maybe she read my entire blog and went, hey, this is actually kind of possible, and here's an easy way to test it. And then she goes out with me, and uses the subconscious methods to seduce... No, more likely I think she used the subconscious methods on me the next day. But I do not remember them. I am just assuming. That person could have been the perpetrator before, or it could have been someone out to find the perpetrator. Whatever the case this person had evidence to say, hey, listen to what this guy's been saying, he could have really been abused by subconscious manipulation 4 years ago--and probably not in any way related to a tv show. It was just convenient for the predator. The predator probably goes around, trying various victims, seeing how they respond to subconcious manipulation. He's just jaunting along, maybe he works for a reality show, since he'll find more interesting prey. He finds me. Perfect, he'll convince me that I'm (again he or she convinces me that I'm) part of a reality show, fits his ego nicely, and a great con artist would play to a person's ego. So, subconscious manipulation for an undecernable amount of time (or I just don't want to bother thinking about it right now) happened once, this girl realizes it the second time by doing it the second time (because I don't count my CFA--though I might be able to). Anyway, my mom, from what I told her, probably rethought the whole "something bad happened" thing. She's always thought something bad happened. I knew that I had gotten hurt, but I did not know it was bad. Now that I know the way I got hurt was by taking my free will and that it might happen again, I know it is bad. But only if my free will was taken. I am pretty sure it was, because I tried to scream out 4 years ago. Just as I tried to tonight. I thought I was being interrogated and I wanted to say something to show adamantly I believed it. But I was also, I perceived, being told to not say it, so it was only with great straining that I said it (and I believed it, whatever I said). The only thing it showed me was that both tonight and 4 years ago, I believed I couldn't speak out when I wanted to. If it is wrong that I shouldn't have been able to speak out. If it is harm. If it is evil. (And yes, not only did I think I believed in god for at least 5 or 10 minutes, I've never disbelieved anything I've realized of late.) For yes, if I am to believe the conclusions I have gotten today and tonight, then I have also concluded that, well, there is a god. I don't know what form or what powers or much else. Just that I do believe.
I am being told I am low on system memory. Maybe they want me to sleep. I will try for them.

Friday, March 26, 2010 5:12 PM I have just had a very important momment. I finally told my mother something I wasn't sure of for four years. That if it was a conspiracy, good or bad, or I wouldn't want her to lie to me. I don't think she would normally, but while I've told her everything I've thought and felt. I've never said that I didn't want her to lie to me about anything (in particular related to this), since I've signed that contract. I've just now done so. Friday, March 26, 2010 5:15 PM Saturday, March 27, 2010 3:54 PM So, my mom calls this "rumination" and that it is bad for me. It does make me distracted. I will admit that. But she also thought pot was bad for me. Anyway, all this rumination is helping me come to some conclusions. Something I would have come to whether I signed a contract or not. Namely, that subconcious methods are wrong when used on a person. Example: I was with a person, I already said that I thought she might be manipulating me (maybe enlightening me at the same time, I do realize that). If, say, I was part of a conspiracy (good or bad) (like a reality show, which I still define as good), would it be okay for them to, say, give me a message on a frequency I couldn't realize on a conscious level? I.e. could "they" say to me "beware, she is manipulating you." (Or maybe more effectively "beware, she is manipulating me.") In a way that I did not hear on a conscious level? As it is the only way of getting this person away from me? Fallacy in that argument is that it is the only way of getting this person away from me. "They" could have told my mother to call me, and ask me what was going on. I would tell her what was going on, if that wasn't enough to stimulate her spidey senses, then "they" could have told her more. One way or another, they could have alerted my mother. My mother would then call me. I never avoid a call from my mother, or a voice mail for sure. I would immediately answer (or at least give me the chance to) and take her advice. Thus, the facade did not need to go down, the game could have continued, and I could be safe. Do, for example, I think when she got a phone call (before I got really drunk) that she was being offered an incentive to stop the "date?" Yes. Did she not take that incentive? No. She said "sorry, I am not interested." And then hung up. Sure, could be a telemarketer, but when I witnessed it, I thought it was her being offered, say, money, to avoid me. And that seemed commendable, at the time. People should not avoid me to keep from hurting me. That makes me lonely. Was there other things she did during the night that she probably shouldn't have? Yes. Namely, involve a certain amount of protection from consequences I would really dislike. Even with verbal assurances that they were in place. The consequence, of course would be one of life and death not about inconvenience to me. So, it is really one very discrete act which I, myself, hadn't realized I should have done. I wish I could be more descriptive, but there are gentlemanly matters to deal with... Oh, fuck it, she said she was willing to let me write about her. She's a big girl. I will check one more time for an email from her, then I will blog what concerns me. No email. I just checked my "business" email, which I didn't want to, as I am on "vacation" this week (boy did I do a good job of relaxing), as she might contact me that way. So, here's the deal. We had sex. It was great. I was drunk, so maybe that's why it was great, because, and I'm sure she already realizes this, I wouldn't have done it sober. At least, not likely (and she should not be hurt by this--because soberly I think she is a wonderful person and maybe someone to spend a very significant portion of my life with--once my mother agrees). Anyway, that might hurt her, and it might not be relevant, but I'm saying it anyway. The fact was, I had no "buyer's remorse" the next day. She assured me, already, that she would not get pregnant (why, is none of your concern) before we had sex. But I did not use a condom. And it was coitus. (In fact, I was a bit annoyed she didn't want to felate me--at that time--but, hey, that's life.) Anyway, I should have. I trusted her reasoning as to why I shouldn't, and damn it, I hate the bastards. I can't cum with them. That's just a fact (and thus the only reason I was "reckless"). But my mother (and yes, she knows the dirty details) says I should always use a condom. I said to her, even during felatio? She was /really/ uncomfortable about talking about this, but she said yes, even then. I said, why? After all, the only possibility is getting a sexually transmitted disease. Exactly, she said, you should not do anything that could cause such a thing. I said, well, I might as well become a germaphobe then, because the odds of sexually receiving a disease are pretty damn slim when it comes to felatio (or oral activities of any kind). Shouldn't I be afraid of them? I said why? They are all treatable. She said, what if you got AIDS. AIDS is treatable. But then you couldn't have kids she said, I said, why? (I like the "why" question almost as much as this person I'm talking about.) She said because there are babies who get AIDS because of their parents. And I said, well, that's because the virus is transmitted, but not because the DNA is somehow fucked up. You can take the AIDS (as far as I understand about science) out of the equation, and then in vitro fertilize, or whatever. She was annoyed by this and left (which meant I won). The fact is, unless someone gives me a compelling argument, I'm not going to use a condom during oral sex, and damn it, I /love/ oral sex. Fuck. My father has come home. I do not want to be around him right now. My mother says I can avoid talking to him, and I will. It is because in this almost primal or child-like mode that I am in, I only want to be around people I trust. I've known my father for 31 years, shouldn't I trust him by now? Indeed, I would trust him, if I'd only known him for four years. Since I have returned home, he has been very kind. So, there is no reason based on anything lately to fear him. And, indeed, all the things that I fear about him came in the prism of childhood. But the fact was, he hurt me, in ways that I do not think helped my later survival. I think the fact is, having someone like me (with autism or whatever the hell I have) is very difficult for any parent. My mother had to be on guard 24 hours a day, she could never, say, use a chemical to lose control. I have written about this before, I see no reason not to now. My father's drinking scares me to death. I find myself doing things my father (and not my mother) would do when I am drinking. And this girl, she was drinking the whole time too. Maybe if I wasn't this "smart" or "different" or [insert label here] he could be a drinker. But I am what I am, and that is why he can't drink around me (or rather, shouldn't). I do not know if my father is drunk right now, I do not know how much he has been drinking these past four years, I do know that I can not always tell when he is drunk, and that when he is drunk, he does things that I think are... Unwise. So, I must avoid him right now. It might hurt him, but it is for my own safety. I'm not going to tell him "yo, you're drinking when I was a kid is making me not want to talk to you right now." Instead, I will leave it to discovery. My mother made a great point today, about the difference between the two. Because she wanted me to do my homework for school, I told her I was too distracted with all this to do my homework, and that maybe I should tell my instructors. She was apparently opposed to this idea. I said, well, I've already blogged about it, and my instructors could find out that way. She asked me if I really think they read my blog, I said I didn't know. But she said, you do realize the difference between telling someone what you are thinking, and letting them discover it for themselves. And that was intriguing. So, I will try to do my homework, but I am dealing with heavy shit right now. She says she doesn't want me to leave the house right now (I am on new meds, I saw my psychiatrist on Friday, told him as much as I could--I even had my mother come with me, in case I missed some salient points--luckily he didn't say I had to give up marijuana, but he did put me on Abilify again--5 mgs a day). I understand her reasonings, but I really want to visit Hess right now. And play some music. But, it is true, I might end up saying out loud some of these thoughts, and they are no doubt going to scare some people (stupid people, I'd hope--scratch that, stupid people are the /last/ I want to scare). Anyway, major major shit lately. I asked my doctor three questions. 1. Should I still see this girl (I believe that was question 1)? 2. Am I autistic in any way? 3. Do I need to give up marijuana? He responded to the last question, said, quite sensibly to modify one drug at a time, and in this case it means taking the Abilify. So I was very happy about that. But he didn't want to answer (just yet--and we were out of time by the time I asked him) the other two questions. So I must deal with them myself until I will see him again in a week. But, why did I start this post in the first place? To say, unequivocably, that subconcious realizations are fine when they come from within (i.e. I realized "this girl is trying to manipulate you, beware"), but never, ever, ever, ever, can they be used without some SERIOUS accountability. And, most likely that means law enforcement. And even then, you'll probably not be allowed to use them. I can not say whether they are good or bad. Just that they are extremely, extremely, extremely dangerous and no one should have that power alone. As I've said, I do not know why I am having these internal dialogues, I only know that I went through them once before, and at the time, as I sometimes do now, I felt they were not my own questions. And that is troubling. Saturday, March 27, 2010 4:29 PM |

I am having a major trip. Not sure if it is good or bad. I know only that I have experienced a trip so strong one other time in my life. It could be that I got some "bad weed." Mom says there is such a thing. She probably says as far as potency is concerned, I think that is bullshit. I didn't get "super good" herb that time, or this time. I got something that really caused a different trip than I was used to. I'm used to trips where I feel relaxed by the end of them. They didn't take very long. They didn't, say, last for days like this one has. I may have been given this drug by this person. I may have been slipped acid--something I would never intentionally do. Unless, of course, it was to prove what acid could do to a smart brain. If, ultimately, I can still be a champion of marijuana (because I really, really, really do think it helps me, as I've known it B.C.--no not british columbia, before the contract) then I am happy. If it is a different drug I am on, then I can champion the regulation of it. Enforcement, etc. So, yes, it may actually turn out that (if it is just super potent weed) I will want there to be limits on what is accessible. Or, rather, that there be THC levels indicated on the bags of marijuana when given to you. That would be regulation enough, actually. As long as someone was checking to make sure those THC levels were correct (but this definitely does not mean "spend more money to convince people that marijuana is bad"). The fact is, putting THC levels (and yes, I do believe I am "channeling" Jack Herrer, like I channel musicians when I sing... hmm, that could be the subconscious message I get, totally unexcusable) on weed (apparently the writer of this topic no longer is interested in this conversation--for I do believe there was a writer in my brain who came up with a script other than one I would have come up, that's the trip, in a nutshell, I think there is someone else inside my brain, it is very scary, but... Okay, maybe this is a good trip... or maybe I want to think that according to "their" or "my" script... I will only know once I am out of the trip. Then I will make my decision).

Okay, I have given myself one day to decide how I want the reveal to occur. I have decided that accountability lies first with my mom, and if my mom was to be a part of a conspiracy /this/ big, she'd want an aouthority of her own. So, this may be her idea. It could be my idea. Could be the idea of someone who is trying to plead their case for why they hurt me. Yeah, they've already lost on the fact that they hurt me. Twice. The second time, if used to find out about the first time, and to stop it from ever happening again, is okay. And, I'd probably want the world to know about it, so they will be aware it happens. But, if the president doesn't want the world to know it happens, then we shouldn't let the world know. (As, no matter how I look at it, if something was done to me by someone else to trigger these two episodes, the president should know about it, it is that dangerous.) Anyway, I keep thinking "who do I want to have the source code?" Namely, the operations of surveillance and, perhaps, manipulation. The company involved in surveillance would not want to give away trade secrets. Far enough. So, I will keep it to three people.
My mom. Bill Gates. The President. These three people should have the source code, unless you are CIA. Only organization, okay, maybe Homeland Security, if "you" are either of these, then you only need to give the source code to the President. The entire operation. Any piece of information he might want. It should be at his disposal. He, of course, would look at what laws were broken, and whether they should have been or not. The other person would be Bill Gates, he is very very very smart, and he gives freely of his money (selfishness is a sign of "badness"--won't say evil--I'll just say that giving a little of your wealth to keep you in good opinion of the world may make sense, but not the amount he has given). He may be somewhat autistic, so he may understand me better. I think I know the guy, since I have studied his art for, I don't even know how long. (Just avoided abusing the Ten Commandments.) So, now we come to number three, my mother. She is not smart in ways that the President is or Bill Gates is, but she knows about loving me, and how not to hurt me. And she's been so good at it for so many years, I have to rely on her.
I think my mother, today, was telling me if I wanted to do a "reveal" I would have to do it "my way." And I said I needed a day to decide. So, if by the end of this time, I should feel different, I will let you know. I think it was sometime in the afternoon I told her I wanted a day to decide. She was scared about this. She asked me if I would be disappointed. I said I didn't know. As the reveal could be, yes, that I have never been the object of a reality show. This could be, say, doctors who are deciding what is the right way of letting me know that I was abused in this way once, and may be abused that way again.
Okay, that scenario. Well. Mom would, again, need to know everything. Mom, I would hope, would double check the doctor's story--in case he's "in on it." She should consult the best of science. Then make her decision. Yes, it would be great if she could take a survey of the world. A "should it be revealed in a day, yes/no" and "should my mom be there when it happens, yes/no". But that's part of the grand delusion. The one that comes from being egotistical--which I am--but at least not selfish (because, should this all be a "good" conspiracy, I will use my money to spread "good" as well). If I am nobody. Which I must accept. And am trying to. Everyone tells you "you are somebody" though. If I wanted to go looking through some instant message logs I would give you the quote by Marilyn Savant.
Anyway, I thought I was part of a script. A really, really, really good one. One I couldn't have thought of on my own. (Which appears to be unegotistical, but still, egotistical that I would be special enough to warrant this "special script.")
It is very, very effective on extremely rational people like myself who get delusions. So, yes, I feel a little special in that I am that good of an artist, that I can spread the word about delusions, and smart people, and how they need not fear they are "passing" in life, and thus fear that they will be "found out" and lose all their friends. Odds are, I will gain more friends by having gone through this script. Which will certainly make it seem like a good trip.
By the way, I feel I was being scripted by Bill Gates, Barrack Obama, and my mom. Pretty important people. Maybe just my mom had a part in it? That's cool. Maybe I'm not famous? That's cool too. Maybe I'll be castigated and abandoned by society and no one will want to be my friend? That's not cool. Do I think that will happen if I let everyone know I deluded myself because I was too smart? That someone (or someones, I still think it was a script written by a number of people, namely professionals in mental health) ... What? Ah, the interrogation stops again. I think these are not my thoughts. They are too smart, and probably written by a number of people. Does that scare me? No. For I know there are others who are smart besides myself. Like my mom.
Man, this is a major trip.

What would I want my mom to do, to at least let me know that she is in on it? I just need a good faith gesture. Not all my money. Not even, say, sitting around the TV with my family and the president and Bill Gates shake hands, thus signifying that they have the source code. (Though, that would be a damn good faith gesture.) I don't know what the good faith gesture would be. I just need one. Will I know it when I see it? I hope so.

Sunday, March 28, 2010 2:01 AM
Sunday, March 28, 2010 11:01 AM Anyway, I don't know if I have stopped ruminating. But I believe I have. I came to these conclusions: 1) if these are my thoughts, they are okay. 2) I will ask myself only the questions I want to ask myself (which are basically questions with answers, not, say, oh, is there a GOD, which is what I did eventually start thinking about and got the decision that there was--for five minutes) 3) I will forget the "answers" (as I am not sure they are my own conclusions, I simply believe they are) that I do not like. In essence, I have decided to do what I want. Because what I want hurts nobody and I'm a good person. That is enough to stop me from ruminating, I believe. Sunday, March 28, 2010 11:03 AM Sunday, March 28, 2010 11:05 AM Oh, and that if this rumination came from anything non-subconscious (be it insects in my room--yes, that could set me off, because I do not trust insects or robots and put them on the same level of dangerousness as psychopaths) then it is good. And chances are very very good that it is not subconsciously inspired (i.e. inspired by someone else on a subconcious level on their concious level... yeah, it's a tricky one). Anyway, if no "tricks" have been used that I can not forsee or have not forseen, and I have made clear what I consider unfair tricks (i.e. using subliminal messages or giving me drugs other than I expect I am taking) then we can continue the game. If unfair tricks have been used--then you may only use them one more time, to determine they are unfair--if even that one time. I am now saying, though, that fucking with my drugs or giving me subliminal messages is FUCKED UP, and not allowed in the game. (And anything like that, that I can't imagine.) Having people be actors, is okay, as people are, in general, good. Sunday, March 28, 2010 11:08 AM |

Fuck, I wanted to paste it into here, but if I do, I lose the meta-data, and I want to give Bill Gates his props, but I don't want to put that shit in /my/ meta data. Come on, a little artistic cred, am I write? I will nonetheless say it here:

I am now, of course, going to um, less incriminate myself and buy his product. Thanks for the code (which I could have gotten once I bought your product, so thanks also for the borrow, I'm richer now, I can pay the relatively small cost!). Well, after I paste this code, of course. (And again, I gave him his props, how I came to this code, then, is again, entirely a matter of opinion:)
Okay, replace all "<p class=MsoNormal>" with "<p>"--thank you again product I will soon be purchasing but am in no way saying I am currently using.
ZZZ_Luckily, while I am relatively rich enough to buy said product, I am also relatively poor enough to deal with bankruptcy. (Makes me a bit dangerous, yes, but clearly Good... Right??????????????????????????????????????????

I forgot to mention, before I go and share this with the world (mind you, for no apparent profit--apparent even to me), I should first purchase said product. But, of course, said product is no longer for sale. So I am reduced to buying newest version of said product. But I will do so, as a good faith gesture that will hopefully allow them to ignore my previous transgression (since, of course, new product will require the removal of old product, and not in a way I can retrieve, and they will ultimately get the same amount of money, adjusted for inflation as they would have for when I first used the product... I think... But not really thinking that hard).

FUCK, in order to keep with the mindset of Bill Gates, whose art I have shamefully (not at all shamefully, at least conciously) borrowed from. I must adjust for inflation, I am smart enough to determine when I first started using this version of said product (pre updates, which thanks, but hey, you didn't bother then... Notes, you always do for your OS--take what you need, exactly.). And donate the rest of the money to the Gates Foundation (fuck Microsoft, they are not the same as the artist, they are merely a canvas). Ooo, actually, can I be sure Gates will defend me? Gates won't care about me! Dumb ass. Or else they'd have found your ass out a long time ago. Do you really think they care about a few god damn dollars? (Ooo, must be Satan, he made me use the term "god damn".) (Hey, it's not in vain if you joke about it afterwards... Right??????????????????????????????????????
Monday, March 29, 2010 9:23 AM
Tuesday, March 30, 2010 11:08 AM Okay. I have made a decision. Another one. I know it is hard to get Bill Gates, the President (if and only if it is Barrack Obama, and everything I've heard about him is true), and my mother "on the team." I accept that. I want my mother, I think that is within reason. Who else then? The Amazing James Randi. Or is it Randy... I am not sure. But I do know that I watched that episode of Nova before I signed any damn contracts. (Not sure if Nova is NOVA, I am not sure of a lot of things, I trust Randi to guide me.) You can do research on this fact, thus you know it is what I want. Read http://www.awbvious.com/writing/awbvious%20--%20DOC_DARK.htm I wrote that when I was entering high school. Yes, it is THAT old. And yes, I still believe it. Before I signed the contract, and today I do. It is what I believe. And thus, if anything I say seems to contradict this, then yes, it is not what I want. NOW YOU KNOW. And knowing is half the battle. Tuesday, March 30, 2010 11:13 AM Tuesday, March 30, 2010 11:16 AM Do a search in the page for "Randi" and you will see why I came to this conclusion. Because, again, I think there may be "magic" involved in my art. You can tell how I feel about "magic." You can tell how I feel about "art." You can see why he is my oversight. And my mother should trust him. Tuesday, March 30, 2010 11:17 AM |
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 2:19 PM I am using blue for a background. For I am not green. My mother drove me home yesterday, so I do not have my marijuana, I could use it right now, but she still is not sure it is good for me. I like it because it relaxes me without making me tired like this xanax has. Xanax sucks as an anti-anxiety when you compare it to weed, in my opinion. I want to be stress-free, not TIRED. But let me get to the point. I wanted to write about Precious, Push, and the writer Sapphire. I am doing this, in part, because my instructor wants some questions to ask her. But I am not ready to come up with simple one-line questions. If I had to, right now, I would put it this way: Is it right to use fiction to explore the issues of abuse? One might say, well, Harriet Beacher Stowe did that. And no one should doubt the value of Uncle Tom's Cabin. But I am not sure about this one either, for I have not read Uncle Tom's Cabin. What really annoys me is the level of self-awareness that this character has. I tried to watch the Blind Side with my mother. But I felt manipulated. And I don't want to be manipulated right now. I could deal with everything until there was the "he threw this piece of paper in the trash" and it "reveals" that he is actually very self-aware. I don't think that "jocks" are dumb. No more than I think people who have had shitty childhoods are dumb. I don't think that people who are black and oppressed and fall through the system are dumb. Hence, we have Tupac Shakur. But if there was a fictional story about a, say, rapper who comes out of nowhere to change his life, I would believe it, as they are clearly self-aware individuals, or else their poetry would suck. But the fact there is some chick who is constantly abused is secretly an amazing writer or for that matter a football star--but that, despite this, they need someone else to realize their talent... Is fucking too hard to believe. And then, once there's this manipulation, that is not slick enough to convince me, how am I to take anything at face value. Oh yes, when I watched Precious with the friend who blew my mind and I've been writing about since... I didn't think it was bad at all. It was a scary ride. But I thought, okay, this /could/ be a true story... Maybe I am cynical. Maybe someone really that smart fell through the cracks. But when I asked the friend if it was true, she said she didn't think so. And when I realized that, the entire experience was soured for me, beyond redemption it seemed. How dare she, I thought, write about such horrific abuse not having gone through it herself (as there is absolutely no way she could have). How dare she make a character who would go through such abuse, need the help of others to determine her self-worth, and also prove to be really smart. How can anyone say that. For I do not think the writer of the Blind Side or Push really needed someone else in their lifetime to convince them they were smart. We read aloud a section from the book, which appears to be far more compelling the movie, in class. (Oh, I am writing about this, because my instructor wants to come up with 3 questions from everyone to ask her about.) It seems a lot slicker and more intellectually interesting. But it also shows her hand as to how smart Precious, the character, is. And that shows how much manipulation there is. How dare you, is all I could think, make me cringe at that extremely graphic scene in which Precious is raped or the scene in which she is hit hard by a frying pan by her own mother. You get that much abuse from both sides, how on earth could you ever become self-aware? I guess, well, she got her self-awareness after she was taken out of that insulated environment. But still... It's a very common problem. Writers put themselves into the stories. Often as the protagonist. So, what happens? We get these "writing geniuses" that are somehow also supposed to be non-self-aware. I don't buy it. Did you see the Blind Side? Did you hear the paper he supposedly wrote about the world being all white around him, and his instructors not knowing how to relate to him, and all this imagery and symbolism and techniques only a true writer would know? That's when I told my mother I couldn't watch it any more. Absolute bullshit. Unless it is acquired. But supposedly for both Precious and this Blind Side guy, they are naturally gifted in this. No one taught them these techniques. Soooo fucking bullshit. If they had these abilities, even if they were fucking, oh, gang bangers like 2pac, people would recognize it. I don't care how little you think of the education system. People would recognize it. People are not that stupid. So, perhaps what I am objecting to is how stupid people are portrayed, despite the protagonist being apparently smart. The system is not perfect. People do fall through the cracks. But writers? I don't think so. As soon as they were required to do any writing, someone would have noticed their talent. Like me, back when I was in Catholic elementary school, I had to write sentences based on words that were given to me. They didn't have to do anything but show I knew what the word meant. I, however, took the opportunity to write whole stories out of these sentences. E.g. one of my words was hankerchief. I would write something with the word before (let's assume it is "fascinating" the only word I remember from these sentences exercises was "hankerchief"). I would write. "John thought it was fascinating that no one noticed this before." "Mary, on hearing this, teared up, and used her hankerchief to wipe her eye." Etc. etc. And the grader thought they were so good, she had to tell my mother. Yes, this was homework, and both characters supposedly refused to do homework. But I don't doubt if I was being asked to participate, and I did, people would recognize my ability. And I would then explore that ability by doing more writing, as I started to do seriously in 6th grade. Ah, but I went to a Catholic school, not public school, and public school is as bad as when it was segregated and you couldn't take a bus to a better school... God, what bullshit. I doubt either of the writers went through public school, or one that is as bad as they portrayed. Yes, fight injustice, yes fiction is a good way of doing this. It is more palatable for the "average" person, and indeed even I prefer it over essays in general... No, that's not true, I read a lot more journalism than I do anything else. Based on truth. Not some story to manipulate people to your views. I am simply beginning to think more and more about fiction being an "easy" and useless form. It is for propogandists. Ones that try to hide that they are blatantly propogandists. I felt so cheated after watching that movie, and hearing it was fiction, which I heard was very faithful to the book. So, I couldn't help but feel they would only cheat me more, if they could. This is the view of the manipulator. Cheat. Manipulators are not truth tellers. I do not think Push/Precious/Sapphire was trying to get to more truth. Okay, maybe she was /trying/ to get to more truth, but I think a memoir would have been more effective--if more boring. Indeed, if she were to write a memoir, or even an essay, explaining how the things that happened to Precious happened to her, I would give her more latitude, far more. But the only thing in that movie that suggests it was true to the author, was the fact that the main character was a writer. I will use wikipedia on the author, though, right now, to see if she has written about her own abuse. And my mind and opinion will change again. Nope, nada. Let's contrast that with another African American writer for whom I have great respect, as well as the work he did. Namely, Ralph Ellison and Invisible Man. Do a wikipedia on him, and yes, he went to a school like the one in his book. Yes, he was expelled early. Yes, he lived in Harlem. The rest of the novel is basically conjecture and thought-processes that could easily be his own. And though he never claims the un-named protagonist is a writer, he does say he is a great speech-writer. EVERYBODY does that. They want a sympathetic main character, they make them smart, and likely, a writer. But did he say he was abused? No. And abuse is fucking terrible. I mean, so terrible, I can think of very very very very few offenses even on par with hurting a child in so blatant ways as sex abuse. How dare she. That's what I think. How dare she. This Blind Side movie, whatever, it is unconvincing, big deal, lots of movies are. But it doesn't (yet) say anything about his character going through anything equal to sex abuse. (I would do research on the author of Blind Side to see how much his conjecture is based on anything he really experienced, but I do not want to ruin the movie experience by finding out plot details.) How dare she. How dare she elicit such emotions in me, without herself ever experiencing them. I think any author should realize the importance of what they write, and if they have a concience, should not write things that will manipulate their audience to believe something they themselves are not sure of. How does she know what a person under that much abuse would do? She doesn't. I am stuck to using dark colors for this background is light--and, if you read my blog, you know the background says what chemicals I am under. I think I might use this blue one for any time I am under this xanax crap, for it makes me so very sleepy. (Weed relaxes me without making me sleepy--I may have said that, but I don't want to slow down to scroll up.) Do I think Sapphire is a really, really talented person? Yes, just from the excerpt I heard in class. It was about the A-Z alphabet that Precious wrote about. And how self-aware! So self-aware. How can anyone under so much abuse get that much self-awareness just from meeting, say, a pauperized mariah carey? Fucking bullshit. I don't buy it. Unless, of course, it happened to Sapphire. And if it did. I recind my opinion. I might even go back to thinking it was a good movie, and thus, probably a good book, and worth reading. But right now, on principle alone, and the desire not to be manipulated. I will not read her book. Wednesday, March 31, 2010 3:04 PM |
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 7:01 PM
Under the bridge downtown... Is where I drew some blood...
You ever have a crazy trip? I have. Twice. Once, it ended in me hurting myself... No it didn't end there... But there was hurting of myself. This time, not so sure. No actual pain has been felt.
In both cases, I thought there was someone inside my brain. With my knowledge of science, I knew there were ways to get into one's brain undetected.
I am not sure "the scriptmaster" but I am pretty sure it is me. And I'm damn good.
Anyway, conclusion: For those are all I care about, I've come to so many lately, I must expound. Whatever was "fucking with" me, was very computer like (or was a human immitating a computer very well). In either case, the fact that I came to the conclusion that there was a computer involved basically, oh, makes the computer fail the turing test. Well, not if it is a human immitating. In which case, it will only prove a second corollary (in that it took a second) "we are smarting than computers." Oh, and of course, the main conclusion "my mother is smarter than me."
Basically, I felt like I was playing chess with Deep Blue. A sophisticated program that could forsee steps very quickly. It would, of course, have to get massive human scriptwriting to do it. You'd have to get people skilled at such things... Well, maybe not, not with the new hypothesis.
Namely, brain areas are being triggered. Does weed do this? Maybe. I won't say anything about that yet. But I was being triggered in a lot of places when I started realizing the many ways the brain can manipulate itself (or another's). One, is excellent script writers. They can lead the brain into areas that will expound in a certain direction. i.e. a very simple message like "think about god" could start one in that area of the brain. But anyway, the fact is, another very good idea (in that it is likely) is brain manipulation happened in an unscripted way.
Namely, I felt a trigger in my brain.
My father came by, I did not like it. He was giving me a "hard time." Making it seem like it was my fault for my mother's exhaustion and that I should feel bad about it. That was /certainly/ the conclusion I got from it. I hate that. He doesn't even know he's fucking doing it. It's why I must reduce contact with him in my current emotional state. I only hope he understands (he knows that I am... going through some issues) why I need distance from someone with too many negative (but very, very old) connections. Actually, not even "too many" I don't want any. I only know I felt really, really, really uncomfortable right now. He was probably not trying to, but it buzzkilled pretty bad.
Damn, I think I'm going to have to, um... Wrap it up. The way is this. You give the brain, say, signals. Probably on the scalp would be best. Otherwise, if you are good at accupuncture, you could do it that way. You give a signal to, think about god, for there is a god region in our brain. You give it a signal to question things, as there are questioning areas in the brain. See, I still think neural pathways are more important than neural regions, but it works either way. Somehow, a signal is being sent to some region or pathway that says "be paranoid." Weed does that sometimes. It's one of its "side effects"--but it is probably good for doing clever deduction in any process.
Anyway, I think, 4 years ago, I got a signal to feel pain. A lot of pain. The signal was intensified as much as possible, so the pain region went into overdrive and I went through the most pain of my life. I may have accessed this area. On my own. It is true. But so could someone else. I don't think I can do it as much as I felt 4 years ago. Because I felt a lot of "twinges" here and there during this, what, two weeks since my mind's been blown?
But no pain. No pain, I would yell to my mind "you want to really see how painful it was, hurt my arm, not there, and do it as hard as you can, I will let you know when it is even close." But I wouldn't do it to my arm. I wouldn't feel the pain, the pain I felt that night 4 years ago, that may have precipitated a lot of what came after.
If someone manipulates your pain region, it goes to think, they can manipulate your thoughts. I do feel like these last two weeks have been manipulation. But it could have been self-manipulation, which is a mind fuck, but not necessarily bad. But four years ago, something manipulated me in ways I don't think I could even imagine. I felt so much pain. So much pain. And, remember, an inability to speak out or tell anyone how I was feeling.
It was a double manipulation. Pain and don't speak. Can accupuncture do this? I am not sure, I could do some research, but the fact is, it all depends on the fact that I was attacked by someone other than myself. And occam's razor points its shiny little edge at me. I probably did it to myself. Unless, of course, these last two weeks were, say, an experiment by an investigator. Or, not even two weeks, maybe just two days, two very recent days.
The investigator determined that I was weak willed. I am. I will admit it. When I trust someone, I am. My mother, I am weak willed against, for sure. But the perpitrator/investigator could never manipulate my thoughts of my mother against me, for I know too well what should want in almost any situation. And it would only lead to getting the perpitrator/investigator caught.
There is science to explain this. I know there is. Before, there wasn't. There was superstition, like Voodoo dolls. Now people are looking more seriously at Eastern Medicine. And that means accupuncture. Read up on that shit, then judge me. There are advances in technology, that make it so you don't need accupuncture.
Example, they can make sound go wherever they want to nowadays, right? With the right technology, you can send an audio signal directly to wherever you point. So, you could speak directly to anyone you want to. And, it goes to reason, you could do it on any frequency you want.
So, what frequency would you use? Well, it depends on if you are lucky enough to have a secondary device that is, say, in the person's ear. If it is in the person's ear (without them knowing of course, and yes, when someone is sleeping, I do think it is possible to sneak in and put a tiny device next to that person's eardrum, cover it first in wax, of course, and put some kind of glue to attach to the ear drum), you can send ANY frequency, even frequencies like cell phone ones or wifi ones, lots of shit no one would think to look for.
Ah, but they could look for them. If they got as close as possible to a person who may be getting messages he does not want, they can use a scanner, and it can pick up all the signals in the area. So...
"When you're absolutely not high any more I want to give you your abilify, fair?" "Fair." "Okay." She goes to her room and closes the door to no doubt lie on her bed and try to relax knowing her son is going through a major trip.
Or journey.
Look, even if I'm wrong about all the conspiracy shit I think about, isn't it actually kind of good that I do? Think about it, if I get enough of an audience, then people who do reality tv shows will start having accountability for their actions. They would people, dis-interested third parties, who listen for frequencies around the person. That could be as simple as putting their own device in the ear of the person, if they're really that paranoid that someone will try to subconciously manipulate them. (Note, Obama, you might want to let the secret service put a device in your ear so they can scan for frequencies around your most sensitive area, namely, your ear.)
I may be entirely wrong about a lot of this. A lot of it is contradictory, after all. But some of it might apply to someone, so I'm going to defend the right to smoke pot and think about it. Bill Gates, get an ear thing. Puff Daddy, get an ear thing. Everybody who uses personal security... Get an ear thing. It will detect frequencies, it will determine as many as possible to be explainable as clear non-threats. I.e. unless you are the secret service or any high-up law enforcement group, you're not going to be able to get every frequency and what's it for. If you are law enforcement though, you can check for cell phones. You would know who they belonged to, and you can be sure that someone unknown is not sending what looks like a cell phone message out.
That's really why I think law enforcement should be involved in the oversight of reality shows. But not just any shmuck with a gun or a badge. Someone who can get them information a private company could not. Such as, the phone numbers of cell phones around a person, and matching them to a watch list. Or, broadband connections, you could know which computers are sending messages, and, in general, what they were.
Fuck, dinner's here.
Anyway, a private company can do the computers thing. They can't however do the cell phone thing. But, if they do regular physicals on their reality stars, to make sure there are no implants of any kind by someone who is possibly shady (do you trust all beverly hills doctors). They can be relatively safe if they just listen for frequencies around the person. And then decode them as best they can without having law enforcement's help. But if they did have law enforcement's help, they'd be a lot better at it. Just something you rich, paranoid billionares should think about.

So, that wasn't too painful. So, now what... Oh, right, what made it seem like a computer? It seemed there were a set of rules involved. It was like a screenwriter with a computer, actually. Someone very techie. The computer would make sure that the person sending the questions or whatever, would not send anything that would be revealing of the person questioning (or interogating, depending on your point of view). And one of the ways is to not say that it is a computer involved in the questioner's "script." I believe there was, for I said to my mother say back to me "we are smarter than computers" and she did, but it didn't sound convincing, so I asked her to say it again. It sounded convincing. Her tone kept changing, like that of an actress reading the questions, be that a human or a non-human actress (my assumption is that it was a non-human actress). She told me today though, "she couldn't exactly understand what I was saying." Suggesting computer interference. Computers, everwhere, wonderful, mysterious, computers. A computer is used in some way in this manipulation of my reality, is what I think. But it could all just be convenient timing and my own exceptional scriptwriting abilities. But again, one of my conclusions is that I am not the smartest person in the world. Currently that seems to belong to my mother, in my eyes. But I do like to think myself as second (though that is damn egotistical, I know). And well, I could come up with a great script to explain computer's being involved. So, really, computers might not be, but they clearly aren't smarter than some humans.

Saturday, April 3, 2010 6:56 AM I wrote this while I was updating my computer, the Date Modified is 4-2-2010 12-06 AM (sorry for the dashes, I'm using a Notepad, like I did when I wrote this: Living by a set of rules is not being a computer. It is probably very Greek in origin, or at least historical knowledge. Or if it is the same as being a computer, then you can use reasoning to get you where you want to go. I am reinstalling my operating system, it has made me very curious about the art that is probably what Duchamp would have come up with in this century. Would I like to build an OS? Most definitely. It can be AS. As in Awbvious System. Just say you are AS, and hopefully you'll not be harassed. If you are AS (uh oh, I feel the Ten Commandments coming down on me)... Okay, don't start a movement after me. It's not safe. Please, adoring fans, your applause is deafening! Okay, a tenet of AS. AS 1: You are an egotistical fuck. Okay, good, AS 2. AS 2: You, nonetheless, accept there is someone more intelligent than you. AS 3: Odds are, that person is one of your parents. Who else would you be watching you entire processing lives? AS 4: Odds are, your positive role model believed in this deduction: Do No Harm. AS 5: So, chances are, you need to accept this, and do it as well as can be, and then you just want to do it more, because it becomes self-gratifying. AS 6: You, are an addict. Look at it anyway you want to, but you are a believer in doing things to, even the greeks would say, excess. Ah, my computer has stopped updating... (Been cleanin' like nobody's business.) Must save this document for later world sharing. 10:23... Fuck. I can't believe it. I have yet to get as far as I want... Ooo, I am imagining a thought in my ear, yes, a drone, a "stoooop" kind of thing. My mother must have stopped it. Or, I am tripping once again! Yawn, I say as I type. I'm beginning to want background checks on everybody, that's a bit over the line. Nonetheless, if my mother stopped something it is for the best. For, duh, she is the person in Number 4. She never harmed me, for no reason that seemed apparent to me, until now, now that my mind has been blown. Getting high is so much different now that I have been in say, page 238 of Invisible Man, Vintage Edition 1995. I'm pretty sure I'll get that eventually. I can't finish the chapter, it's just well... Being a potsmoker is being a mulatto in the one-drop era. You could pass... Your entire life, you could pass... Or you could embrase the other... But isn't that just as full of peril? Ultimately, we end up calling ourselves whatever in, I don't know, 1-6, determines. For me, that is white, and christian, and the rest, kinda a mystery. But I have a drop of green blood in me. And, no, not because I'm Irish (or maybe.......). Heh, I'm not going to get into Eugenics. I'm just saying, give peace (and peace-ful drugs) a chance. Oo, let's make that number 7. AS 7: Give any non-harming activity a chance. I did, I think, in life. I chose to accept I had depression back in 2000, before then, no one ever said, go to a therapist, see if there is anything wrong with you. But I couldn't sleep at night, and I went to a therapist, which is just a fancy word For doctor. (My mother was a nurse at one point, by the way. But she likes to be a mystery, so I will leave it at that.) I see a doctor, he says, hmm, looks to me like you need some drugs. And you say, well, I can't sleep, so sure I'll take your .25 MG Aprazolam. And it all goes from there. Especially if you are in college and finally away from Number 2 (or three, can't remember), I was away from mom, so I could experiment, and I did. Nothing that, had I researched it and it said was bad, seemed harmful. And I don't think I have. Have I found something not given to me by a doctor? Well, for a while, yes I was. Now I am legal, bizznachalz. Hurray, Hurrah. But now we become The Problem. Integration! How we gonna do it? Segregation? How long will we endure it? Race Relations... Well, maybe not. But uh... Ideology Relations, doesn't quite have the same ring. Fuck, I'm so over reading EULAs, I will only do it for the OS, and only now because I am realizing it is art. And art, by the way is number 8. 8: True, valuable art does no harm. So, if I find I am hurting myself, I must consult [insert person smarter than you]. And I have included her into this. But she is a mystery, she will not let you know your logic has [insert action]. Sigh, it is tiring thinking at such levels, but my mind was blown people! In I think, a good way. But with a bad trip. Bad usually means harm. Can't be sure of that. Hence, it may all be art, until I feel actual extreme pain, in which case, investigations is all. 10:40 PM Someday, I'll be easily able to watch all the things I type in real time. I would be entertained by that. Provided I could speed things up and slow them down when I wanted in playback. So, am I asking for a job from Bill Gates? Heh. I would be honored. Of course. But I am number 1. AS 1: You are an egotistical fuck. That is the greatest commandment. No, please, please, I am kidding. Do not think I want a religion based on this shit. I don't want a cult. I just want some people to go into a little philosophyzin' is all. Right now, I am waiting for update ... Finally! 12:03 AM I swear, it is like the devil himself is tempting me, or God is speaking to me, either way, it is becoming more and more apparent there are people smarter than either myself or my mother. This leads to number 9. 9: Jesus and his mom were smarter than you and your ideal role model. Hard to accept, but it is clearly true if you read the scriptures. Okay, I kinda HAD to write that. Something deep inside of me was telling me to. As, well, it makes sure no one thinks I'm... Yes, I've finally gotten around to using the joke. It's been hanging around for ever. I do not think I am bigger than Jesus. 12:05 AM --END TXT from yesterday-- 2 things: 1. Writing (pretty) code in notepad is fucking hard!!!!! 2. AS 9 needs to be revised. (Luckily, I forgot to put "AS") AS 9: Jesus was smarter than you or your ideal role model--unless he is your ideal role model. And I had to change number 9 because my mother reminded me that no one gave a rat's ass as to the value and opinion of women--my words not hers, but same sentiment. And I also forgot until just now that one's ideal role model might, in fact, be Jesus. Heck, he might even be mine (though I still think it is mom, and mom's is Jesus). But since Mary couldn't "vouch" for Jesus, Jesus is Smart Guy No. 1. Saturday, April 3, 2010 7:17 AM |
Saturday, April 3, 2010 2:10 PM I know why I did what I did now. Which is beat myself up mercilessly for the last two weeks. I have come to the greatest conclusion so far. I wrote it down and gave it to my mother. I will share it with you now. "I know why I am mad at myself. It is because I did not use marijuana responsibly when I smoked it around [name crossed out] that girl at that time. Not only was I not in a safe place, but it could have effected her negatively. "I have no problem with using it responsibly, and I do normally. I simply need to determine what is responsible use. "Love, "[name1] "4/3/2010" Saturday, April 3, 2010 2:14 PM |
Monday, April 5, 2010 11:45 PM Ah, another day. And this background should turn blue soon enough. I took a xanax and my zoloft, it should be kicking in. I want to take some THC, but my mother is holding that right now. And I don't want to wake her up. I've been clean for about 3 or 4 days now. I want to smoke it, and enjoy myself for many hours, but instead, I am blogging in grey. I've taken it more than 30 minutes ago, though, I think. So it should be okay to smoke it. And I could use it, i've been busy lately. and I need some relief. ah, but i am so tired... maybe i should just sleep.... No, i know! I'll do my homework. high, of course, it should be fun that way. Oo, i'll do it online. that's always... yawn... yawn... i am tired. i should sleep. fuck. if it doesn't work, i'll get up. Damn lack of freedom, my mom is controlling how i get my meds, where i can use my car, hell, today is the first day i was able to use my car for almost a week (notes: it is really her car, and once i can afford to maintain it, it will be my car). Fuck. I should sleep. Monday, April 5, 2010 11:51 PM |

Excuse me while I eats my ice cream.
Let me lay down some words
so you can heards
what i have gots to tell you
it's a cold wild world don't no one tell you different
or rather, go ahead and let them, you know better
it's also a warm easy universe, don't you forget it
in the dimension of touch a pleasure is known
and rhyme and rhythm go out like blown
or flown or drone for i do, yes i do
milk goes so great with ice cream
rocky road with whipped cream
ah delicious
i think i should do my own manga... no anime!
well, it wouldn't be anime, it would really just be badly drawn cat, ooo. i have flash now. anyway, i need to do some homework.
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 0:49 AM
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 2:28 AM
Do not let me forget to update my homework. i mean upload. i mean attach. I mean, fuck, I didn't even do as much as I wanted. Tomorrow I must work. But when I am done with school, I can concentrate on work. Or after work i will concentrate on school. One way or the other.
I really wanted to see the speaker for my grad program tonight. But my mother said I had to come straight home. I smoked some dispensory stuff. Feel damn good.
Time is a slippin'. I am a trippin'. And I feel alright. I miss my double space, but that's the way of the world... Or is it?! Why not allow the double space? It is so civilized after all.
I also changed the default color to white. For I am white. Like light. But not right. Definitely left. Behind and off center. And happy to be.
And know that doesn't mean I think of that in skin color. Oh no. I am of inconsequential racial heritage (more than half irish for the curious). I'm saying white being the opposite of dark. I'm talking photons. More photons. Those are good. Anyway I did as much of my homework as I could considering all the other computer shit I've had to do since I've formatted three days ago, and I will be formatting another c drive tomorrow.
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 3:29 AM
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 10:19 AM Hmm, this is a good reason to not change my default color to white. For i do not know how many grey days there will be. I suspect today will almost entirely be grey, if not entirely. I had a bad experience with my mother last night. As I said before, she is titrating my medications for me (and the words titrating and medications are both euphamisms). So, I was only allowed a little last night, I did it. And you saw the results. (i.e. scroll up and read the last two posts.) Now, though, it is the next day, I am sober (should I have to convince my mother). I was up until at least 3:30 AM, I went to the kitchen to get, yet more food. (Finally got my apetite back, be it for a few short hours. Oh, dear, I've lost a lot of writing by changing my default color, no doubt that is why I never did it before. Hence, my words from last night have changed to black. That's fine, there is no difference between the two. It was spurious conjecture. Photons mean shit. Light is just a metaphor for knowledge, it should not be applied to color. Anyway, it was the middle of the night, my mother comes out of bed and she asks me what I am doing awake. I say, I am enjoying my high. She says she is concerned. I say, I am sorry. She wants me to go to sleep. I say I'm about to. She asks me some other, I believe, inconsequential questions. I answer all of them, truthfully, but guiltily. Then I can tell she is upset, so as a peace offering, I say, "how about if I quit cigarettes?" She did not like that response. She immediately says, "how can I trust anything you say, you are drunk" Corrects herself "high, and..." Forget the rest of it. I hung onto the drunk part. "I can't be around you like this," she says. "Am I like my father?" I ask the most important question. She says yes, with that I went to bed. And now I feel horrible. But if that's what she felt, I needed to hear it. Perhaps she said I was being like my father, not am my father, but it's inconsequential, the idea was clear. I just don't know if it is the guiltiness that made me seem like that, or the high. All I know is that if I don't quit cigarettes, she's probably going to second guess that profession of loving myself that I got out of my last high. But, I tell myself, I also did not say that I would quit cigarettes (I might have said "I could give up cigarettes," again, no recollection of the actual words). One way or the other, it was clear she didn't want me to make such a decision high. And that probably means the love myself also... See how this can be spun either way? I will say this much though. When we went to the psychiatrist together, my mother noticed a picture in the doctor's office. She said she bet it was Anna Freud. I had no idea who that was. The doctor said it was her in fact. He also said that Anna's favorite expression was (paraphrasing) "guilt is a useful tactic if it is used for the good of the child." (And this was after I said to the doctor how she always uses the "you make me worry" excuse for me not doing things she wants.) He also said that the two of us had a beautiful relationship. So. Tuesday, April 6, 2010 10:33 AM Wednesday, April 7, 2010 10:49 AM Ah, so the world is waiting for me to say what I want when it is "revealed." I will tell you now. I don't need lots of money. I just don't want it ever to seem like my current bank account of 5 grand is "a lot" any more. That, and I'd like to be an executive producer on the show that is eventually made (assuming one is made) about my story. Not for the money. But for the creative rights. For I know best how to give my story to the world. Then I'd be very, very, very happy. Thank you. Sincerely, awbvious. Wednesday, April 7, 2010 10:51 AM |

I gave some girl my website address, so I'll have to section things off, as they will likely scare her away. (By girl, of course, I mean knock-out crazy beautiful woman.)

Ah... Nicotine gum.
Must I always start with a damn food object?
I just sang very quietly out doors for the first time ever. Not aware how many could hear me, not in the cacoon that is my car.
I got the impression that someone was thinking my performance was a reflection of all my ideologies... Pretty much.
Nicotine isn't food. And it's pretty good. I got two pieces of 2 mg going right now.
And there is no sound, but that of the clickity clack that is my keyboard.
Sorry, took a minute to myself. Bet you didn't notice it. Anyway, fuck. What was I going to say.
I wonder if it had to do with school. Or maybe work. They both have clickity clack.
I was thinking of school though, right before that sendbackspacemispelling now, malfunctioning, call mainenainance heh.
Okay, enough of that.
I need to think beyond myself, and my primal need to fly. I do fly. But not round fully rooted trees.
I ended it, kind of, with Ball of Confusion by the Temptations. Damn, my jaw is getting a workout with this gum. Must let it sit a while in the mouth.
I just went into auto mode. And my cat didn't like it. He wouldn't come to me.
Waits for cat psychic powers to persuade the cat to enter my room, on his own accord, of course.
Offers him psychic kibble.
These thoughts are not my own. I know that when I am high.
I hurt no one. I just want to write and sing and do art. I'm a fucking hippie. Who's really into black music. Go fig.
But not just any, of course, but classic soul of the 60s, man, that shit is
Fun to sing to.
Hey, people, you want to know what I am typing right now?
Well, it's a legal copy, so i might as well tell you i'm in dreamweaver (oh my god, my panties are showing) 8. So, if you openned this document in this, (can't remember if it is coder or designer, designer I'm sure) mode, almost all the defaults going, you could see the document as I was seeing it, when I was writing it. Like a letter... Almost... Kinda.......
Oh, I remember now, why I needed my camera. I wanted to take a picture of the drawing I made in my sketch book when I met meghan daum, I was very impressed. Damn, I forgot to read her column today.
Notes: The paper is /out there/ and it is safe in here. And the camera is even more out there. (oh god, no panties now.)
It is quiet though, besides the clickity of my keyboard.
Still, it's the thought that counts, and any tiny bit of publicity is nice. Besides I gave her my three best pictures. I can even tell you why they were.
Oh, and 8.3, by the way.
They just don't want to show it (after all, I did install the updates).
1) (none of these have names, hence her, very newspaper ...
Stephan has IMed, he is human, takes priority.

Sunday, April 11, 2010 4:06 PM Mmm, nicotine gum. Anyway, what was I going to say... Oh yeah: The role of the inquisitor will now be played by Me. I have decided that all that secondary person crap going on in my head is simply my own impish imagination. I needed someone to challenge me, and my conceptions, so I created personalities to do so. They usually run the gamut, from my psychiatrist, to James Randi, to my mother, to my cat, to God, to the Devil. But they are all just me. (Voice inside: "Is that so?") Yes, they are all just me. (Are you sure?) Pretty damn sure. (Why?) Is that all you can do, inquisitor, is ask why? (Yes.) Why is that? (...) Don't know what to say to that, do you... Are you me? (Maybe.) Why are you here? (Because you need me.) What for? (Questions.) I tried thinking "answers" but that wasn't convincing, so I went with questions. Is that because if you only ask questions without revealing who you are, you can't be faulted, or found out, rather? (...) Indeed, you have no answer for that. I trust you not. (But I am you!) So you say! (Oh.) Indeed, and since you say that, how can I be sure? (What a mind fuck.) Yes, those sound like words I would use. But you are tricky. (Am I?) Yes, like the devil. (Don't say that.) Should I say you are god? (Uh, do you think you should capitalize the G?) Sounds like what I would say... (True.) Are you god? (Yes.) See, why would you say that? Unless you are god or the devil, or someone working on the part of the devil, or of god? (...) Or, if you are me. (Exactly.) So, you want me to believe you are me? (...) You have no answer to that, is it because if I think you are me, I will not believe in you? (Maybe.) Fair enough. But if you are god, would you show me a sign? (I did, it was that bird you saw, it looked like a dove.) But was it? (Ye... Don't know.) Maybe it is me and someone else talking, maybe it is like the priest said, God comes to us, and we interpret him through our falible human minds. (Could you not also do that for the devil?) Maybe. I'm not even sure you're not a computer. (That hurts me.) Sure, sure it does. (No, really.) Or a computer would say that, so I wouldn't believe he was a computer. (Am I a man?) Well, you have a masculine voice. (That is true.) But you could be anyone, with a device to make the sound of my voice. (Uh, this is also true.) Hence, can't be sure of your gender. (Damn, you are good.) And that's why you are interested in talking to me. (Probably.) Because you have an ego? (...) You don't like to play "gotcha" but you must, or you are not allowed in my brain. (Fine.) Go then. (Where would I go?) Don't ask me, just get out. (I'm always here.) Oh, so you say, so you say, but maybe you aren't, maybe you are only allowed into my brain occassionally, and this is one of those times. (Can't you turn me on and off?) Not easily, but to some extent, maybe. (You're confusing and very intelligent.) Thank you, I'll try not to consider that pandering. (Grr.) Don't get mad at me, you know that won't get you anywhere. (True.) You might be able to hypnotize me (I'm not), so you say... But you can't make me believe I would hurt someone, without making me hurt someone. (Hmm...) So, devil, if you have the power, make me go into my mother's room and tell her that I am under the power of Satan. (Ha ha.) You think that's funny? (No, kinda.) Well, it's not, it's my faith, I've been struggling with it for forever, and now you want me to believe, so, you better have a way of proving. (Oh, doubting Thomas, were you not paying attention in Church today?) Shut up. (Why?) Because you are telling me nothing new. (I am getting you to new places.) But I do so at the risk of losing all friends and the happiness of my family. (But that hasn't stopped you before.) True. (See.) See what? (I can tell you things.) Or I can tell myself things. (True.) We're getting into redundancy, that makes me think you are a computer, not sophisticated enough to (I am not a computer!) Stop yelling, that will get you nowhere (sorry). And stop talking to me (why?) Because I doubt you are God, and (what about Jesus?) Same thing, as far as I'm concerned, in the reality where some "god" can speak to me. (What about Buddha?) Maybe, can I smoke Buddha? (Haha.) Buddha is up on his modern vernacular, I see. (Well...) Are you my cat? (Well, I am sleeping right now...) Why did you say "I"--you must be lying. Clearly you are not asleep. (What if you are asleep?) Oh, shut up. (Won't.) Fine, fine, I'll deal with you, but I won't talk to you out loud... Waits for you to ask why, okay, you won't. I will tell you, becaues then I will get locked up for a very long time. (You think so?) Yes, I do. Or I will become indigent. (I think you are ... a little paranoid.) Paranoid that there is another voice in my head, after how many years, of never having such discourse? (Isn't it about time?) No! Okay, maybe. If you are me. But only if you are me. Otherwise, even god, I'd rather talked to me face to face. (Oh.) Yes. (Well, I do, through other people.) But you don't say, "this is god." (No.) So, you are not. (Fuck.) God wouldn't curse. (Wouldn't he?) Maybe. --This, people, is what I go through.-- (Oh, it's not that bad.) It isn't? (Naw.) You don't think... Notes, I am now hearing Stephen's voice. (Heh.) Ah, remember when we heard the Ex's voice. (Ah yes, like angels.) But. (You don't want to say it, but I will.) Shut up. (I will.) Why? (Because I am not held by such ... um...) Censorship? Self-censorship? (Perhaps.) (Are you going to tell them? Or should I?) Okay, okay, so I didn't like the way she looked, but I loved her voice. (Heh.) Stephen must you... (Who said I am Stephen?) I checked with my mom, she said she wouldn't use subconscious methods on me, she would only talk face to face (and, stephen would do that... why did you make me wait until you finished your sentence to let me speak?) Because you cut m (no i don't.) Yes you do! (No, I ... Okay, maybe I do.) Now, you are sounding like me, so equivocable. (See!) Who do you want me to think you are? (I am what I am.) Oh don't quote scripture to me. --This is what I go through.-- (Stop telling them that, they already know.) Are you afraid I tell people? (A little.) Because you are me. (Especially because you are me.) But you said you wouldn't tell me who you are. (Interpretation of ...) What? Divine guidance? ([almost a laugh.]) (Laugh.) Or rather, [laugh]. (Shut up.) Hey, you tell me to shut up? (Yes.) No, I tell you to shut up. (Yes.) Shut up. (You shut up.) No, you. (No you.) Damn insect on my screen. (You don't like insects, do you?) No, they have no morals. (That's all.) Indeed, they are overly simplified programs. (Oh.) Like robots. (Knew you were going to say that.) Indeed. I don't like things with power to interfere with my life that don't care about my morals. (Aaaaah.) What, is that a big revelation? (Maybe.) I would need to think about it. (Why don't you?) Because I'm typing out our conversation, that's why. (Ah.) Okay, I'll look over it one more time. Is that supposed to be a weed thing? (Maybe.) What about the argument that this is all me trying to think of responsible ways to smoke weed? (Marijuana.) Whatever. (Not whatever, people need to know what you are thinking.) No they don't, my mother told me that. (And you always...) Yes, that's why you didn't finish your sentence, I do always listen to my mother, and do what she says, for the most part. (Hmm, maybe it's that "the most part" that made me not finish my sentence.) Oh, you and your mind fucks. (I like 'em.) I need to do school work. (Okay.) But can you make it so people aren't afraid of me. (No.) You do sound sorry, at least. (I am.) But you gave me the ability to write, so maybe I can write it in such a way that people won't be scared of me. (Did you try?) What the hell do you think this is? (Don't curse.) Shut up. (You shut up.) Sunday, April 11, 2010 4:33 PM Sunday, April 11, 2010 4:34 PM Oh, by the way, my mother wants me to quit both smoking weed and drinking (not that I had a drinking problem, but she doesn't want me to substitute any more than I do) for the next two weeks, until the end of the semester. (You always...) SHut UP. (Fine, fine, no need to scream.) Sunday, April 11, 2010 4:34 PM Saturday, April 17, 2010 1:14 AM I need to blog. I can't sleep. I tried to sleep. Around 8 PM. I took my 200 mg of zoloft, my 20 mg of Abilify, and my 1 mg of Xanax (heavy doses in general), but to no avail. For here I am, thinking about ... Well, actually, right now I got the song "I'll Be There" by the Jackson 5 in my head (one of the songs on the way home today). But otherwise, I'd be thinking about "Paint It Black." A little context. About 10 years ago, I was trying to learn how to play guitar. So, what did I do? I used this thing called the "internet" that had tabulature of songs (anyone else remember OLGA?). Actually, it was longer than 10 years ago. This was back in the days of CDs (which are like records, only they don't bend very well, for you whippersnappers). My collection was entirely classic rock at that time, I probably acquired Hot Rocks (only "best of" albulm that was available at the time for the Rolling Stones, at least in the store I went to) back in 1996. So, here I am, trying to learn Paint It Black, my absolute favorite Rolling Stones song. I can't even remember the chords now, but it wasn't too difficult, if I had the tab in front of me, I was able to play it moderately well. But, of course, I wanted to be able to play it without the tab in front of me. The only problem? Well, besides memorizing the chord progressions, there was the little problem of the fourth to the last line of the long. It goes: "Paint it black, black as coal, black as night." My problem was I always wanted to sing "black as night, black as coal." That's because it "sounded better" in my opinion. The "coal" just has a nice ending to it, the way it is sung, night doesn't have the stoppage (for lack of a better word) of that hard l, as the t is not pronounced very much. Or who knows the reason. That's just the way I always like to sing it. So, whenever I'd hear the song on the radio, or listening to Hot Rocks, I'd almost always have to wait a split second to hear the first consonant "c" on "n" to know what the correct word was (the "black as" is sung exactly the same, and the lyrics are very close in song). It's kind of like when I'm at church and hear the Nicene Creed, and I fuck up "for our sins" and "for us men"--which when recited has a musical quality and the notes and timing is the same. Anyway, this was before I started using mnemonics like "c" is alphabetically before "n" so, that should make it easier to remember. Fast forward until a couple of years ago (less than four), I must have been singing the song, and I must have went with my natural inclination to sing "black as night, black as coal" and whoever was singing with me (no, I don't know, in fact, I doubt, it was the Rolling Stones, at least at that time) went with my version. That is to say, they sang along with me "black as night, black as coal." In otherwords, yes, Virginia, my delusions are real. Of course, if I go looking online for the correct version, I might find coal/night, but I can't trust the internet. Sure, I could try to use a library computer or something, but they'd still find a way around it. Because they could do it either way. They could make it night/coal, like they've been playing it for who knows how long (I suspect at least three years), or they could make it coal/night and just change all the songs I own and recordings I've made. So, I'm a bit fucked. The one thing they can't change, however, is how other people sing the song. And last night, I went to my Jam Night session. There is videotape of this event, I was right by the video camera, so even though you can't see me--from the angle of that "obvious" camera--you can probably hear me, with a little audio manipulation. Because I was listening to the cover band sing that song, and I was singing right along, and they got to the night/coal part. I wasn't even paying attention. I sang night/coal, they sang coal/night. And what did I say, loudly, though it was too loud in there for anyone except maybe the paul simon lookalike who was near me? "I knew it was coal/night!" Ah, but that wasn't even enough. I thought, maybe I thought it was night/coal, but I'd be listening to it, and it would be coal/night, and I was just forgetting right then. So I dismissed it, and went on with the evening. The next day (today) I am at work, and during a restroom break I think to myself: I should listen to that song and see what happens. So, I go outside for a cigarette, turn on my mp3 player which is playing the /exact same song/ from my Hot Rocks collection (I ripped it a long time ago). There is no excuse. What do I hear? Night/coal. And I'm like "I gotcha!" Give me my money! I even at the risk of sounding crazy said it out loud, I knew this song, I knew there was something going on. But, no, no rushing out with people to say "congratulations" no balloons and tickertape falling magically from the sky, no giant check offered by a zombie Ed McMahon. (Or, wait, did he not die, just have that mansion problem...) Nothing happened. Nothing at all. So I called my mother, I tried to tell her what happened, that the lyrics were changed, but I had told her about lyrics changing in the past, she wouldn't believe me, or rather, she wouldn't tell me something was going on. That's partly my fault, I even told her I wanted her to lie to me if there was a "good conspiracy" going on. I want to be Truman of the Truman Show. It's no simple delusion, it's a delusion of grandeur. The only time it isn't is when I think magicians might be involved, or subconscious manipulation using sensory clues I can't tell on a conscious level. But I don't really think those are involved, I just fear them constantly. Otherwise, everything is pretty ducky when it comes this delusion, I'm the center of attention, I get to sing with great musicians (originals or not). It's pretty cool. But, here I am, with as definitive proof as I would ever get... And nothing was happening. My mother was concerned when she talked to me, especially since there's all this mumbo jumbo I had worried about with "voices" and whatnot (I am now, 99.999999% they are entirely voices of my own creation, with no other outside impetus whatsoever--that is, they aren't voices coming to me subconciously--the abilify is not a placebo, or at least it's a very damn good one, but I don't think it is). My mother said to come home if I was done with work, and I was, and to avoid music--I said that was impossible, or at least very very unconvenient (would probably make me a worse driver)--so she asked if I could avoid "that kind" music. I said, what? Classic rock? Rolling Stones? I said, okay, and drove home listening to my black music stations, I'll try to upload my voice recorder files so you can hear my commute home (it's about an hour long). Anyway, I'm not really tired, but I should try to sleep again. I'm too excited though. I am now as convinced as I haven't been in a very long time. Now, all that matters is when I'll get /real/ definitive proof. What kind would that be? Oh, I don't know, meeting some famous people, not in costume, acting as themselves. Or, even better, how about a nice thousand bucks (to start off). No, I would not like a big check from Ed McMahon. I want legal tender in the form of cash, and a good indication it isn't an elaborate prank on me and my delusions. So, just like I said when I heard the song today. Give me my money. Thanks. Saturday, April 17, 2010 1:50 AM Wednesday, April 21, 2010 0:00 AM Guess who can't sleep. No, little suzie in Omaha Nebraska is sleeping soundly. It is me. Awbvious. Not sleeping. Fucking 4/20 day had to come and go without me. I'm so annoyed with that. But, I told my mother 2 weeks. And so. 2 weeks. 3 days to go. 2 days now. Just 2 days. I can make it two days. not even 48 hours. More like 40 hours. Like a work week. I can do that. I can totally do that. But it doesn't help me sleep tonight. Tonight. Tonight I am awake, though I took all that shit. 200 mg of zoloft, 20 mg of Abilify, and 1 mg of xanax. But still, I can't sleep. (And tomorrow I'll be taking 300 mg of welbutrin.) I'm a fucking walking pharmacy. Why can't I sleep??? Why can't I ever sleep????? Why must I have this problem? Turning off, that's something everyone and everything needs to do every once in a while, so why can't I? I just want to sleep. Just, drift off. Close my eyes, and with them, all the thoughts. Let them go away... Instead I got a fucking jukebox going on in my head. Right now it is doing True Love Ways by Buddy Holly. Before that it was Sweet Talking Guy by (i believe) the Chiffons. I don't even remember if I heard either of those songs today, but I probably did, I was listening to KRTH HD2 earlier. Maybe if I write about it, it'll go away... "Sometimes it [something], sometimes it [something] [something] true love ways..." Fucking a. Perhaps what's most annoying is not that I don't particularly like either song, but because I don't know the damn words, just the damn tune. Maybe I should smoke a cigarette... But that won't make me sleepy. I know what would make me sleepy. It's called marijuana. And I can't have any. Sunday, I drank, three drinks. And I ended up crying at the end of the night. Probably because I heard "Paint It Black," and the girl I was trying to hit on all night said something like "that's why" or "of course" "because of that" or something like that. And I went to her and said, "so, the world's a stage, and we're all actors, but who cares if we're lonely..." She said she wasn't lonely. And besides that was only going to be around for a week. And I felt tired, and sad. Because I know, no matter how "great" this conspiracy (no one likes when I use that word) is, and I do think it is pretty awesome, it still means the same thing that anyone famous has to deal with... Namely, I can't trust anyone to really like me for who I am. And not, what I am. But on top of that, I can't ever be sure someone is honest with me. And while that's fine for a little bump and grind, it doesn't work when it comes to a girlfriend. But hey, I'd take a bump and grind, I just don't get that even. Probably that's what I'm annoyed with. Not the "unable to get a girlfriend"--that's more based in reality, you know, the reality of living with my parents, having a low-paying part-time job, and a soon-graduate-degree-that's-again-liberal-arts-and-thus-pretty damn useless. A writing degree. A piece of paper to say that I can do what I already knew I could do, and do fairly well, and fucking often, because I can never fucking get any fucking sleep. And so I try to dump my brain on a page. webpage or regular page, what difference. I'm just trying to clean the house. Make room for nice dreams. But no... I can't even write myself to sleep tonight, it seems. I wish it wasn't so damn cold, or I could have my cigarette... Oh, I know, I'll have some nicotine gum. Ah, who am I fooling, even if I could smoke some marijuana, I'd just be happy while I'm awake, I don't know if it would really make me fall asleep. (mm nicotine gum.) My body is tired as all hell. But my brain is wondering. What will happen, will anything happen, will magic tricks be revealed soon? They never are. Years go by. Years I tell you. Why now? Why would they possible end now? Do I even want them to end? Not ... I don't know. I just know I want a girl. Someone soft and female and beautiful and tender and loving and sexy and kind and all that shit. I want a girl... To fall in love with me. What song is that? Oh yeah, ray charles. Why can't he get in my head, why does it have to be buddy fucking holly. Those damn violins. It's impossible to put in a good song, I tried brickhouse, then I immediately thought of songs I wouldn't want in my head. Like, oh, the theme to gilligain's island... Well sit right down and you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful ship That started on this tropic isle (oh trip, whatever) Aboard this tiny ship The mate was a mighty sailor man The skipper brave and sure They started on this ... A three hour tour. A three hour tour... The professor and mary ann... (Or "the rest" as it was for a number of years.) Here on gilligain's isle! though it's really gilligain's island. whatever. nope. true love ways is still in there. Fucking ear worms. Not even the whole song, just those duh-duh-duh-duh, four notes. Over and over and FUCKING over. I can't shut it off. I can't stab my brain and kill it. I could listen to some other music... But then I'll be like, who are they going to drag out of bed for me now. I don't want to make anyone get out of bed when I don't want to perform, I just want to listen. (Aboard this tiny ship...) Now it's a song soup, gilligain is swimming with buddy holly. no one will let me sleep. What if they could let me sleep by using something I wouldn't want? Well, shit, I wouldn't want it. Duh. So, I guess it's better to just be tired and annoyed. Though I would give anything for a nice tasty joint right now. I'd wake my mother up and plead with her, but it would make no difference. She'd be like. "Turn on your mozart, and I'll wait here and you'll fall asleep." And I won't. And it'll annoy the fuck out of me laying in bed for an hour until it ends, and i'd just be keeping her awake. I just want to sleep. This is so fucking ridiculous. It's like keeping my other drugs away from me. Like someone saying, nope, you can't have xanax. Or abilify. Or zoloft. Or wellbutrin. Or masturbate. (Already did that one) Or sleep. Or whatelse... Or yoga. (I could do some yoga... Yeah, I'll try that.) Wednesday, April 21, 2010 0:27 AM Thursday, April 22, 2010 10:12 AM I just had a nightmare. I haven't had one in a very long time. Well, apparently I had one about a week ago, and I cried out, and my mother came to my side and held my hand, and apparently I woke up, and/or got out of whatever was troubling me. But not this time. If I did cry out, no one was around to wake me, my father had his headphones on and was in his office. Man, what a dream. And, of course, I immediately started to try to compare it to my experience 4 years ago. And I've come to the conclusion that while I might have been in a slight-near-sleep mode when it happened 4 years ago, it was NOT a dream in the normal sense of the word. My dream right now? It was probably triggered because I couldn't sleep after my cat woke me up at 4:30 for some food. So, I went and watched some yoga with the sound-a-like of the yoga teacher I fell for five/six years ago (don't remember her psuedonym right now). Man, did I fall hard for her. Why wouldn't I? I found someone who could make me feel good everytime I saw her. Anyway, I did some yoga from the TV, then I ate some breakfast with my mom, and she proposed I go back to sleep. I have responsibilities, but I was so tired, I was like, fuck 'em. Just wake me up around 2 if I don't get up. But after I fell asleep, or around that time, I regretted that, and thought I should wake up sooner. Wouldn't you know, my dream would be about trying to wake up out of a dream. Everyone had turned into monsterous versions of themselves. Well, not really. But my mother turned into this mean (no stereotyping here, just the facts ma'am) asian lady. I tried to get her to wake me up, but she was determined to let me sleep, or to leave me alone (something I would normally be fine with, but I was having a nightmare). My father and my mother were talking to each other and my father said I was going to lose my job at work. I overheard, and was trying to tell my mother, but my mother said if I said anything, my father would think she had told me, and that would lead to (this was unsaid) him lying to her in general (maybe more in general, I don't know how much if any lying he does--the extent I think is maybe he--in the past--had tried to quit drinking and would reneg--again, I have no idea how bad his habits, if they are bad any more, are any more, as he has been surprisingly good father these last four years). Anyway. That's neither here nor there. For one, I thought the volcano had exploded and somehow effected the air so I couldn't breathe. That wasn't cool. But that passed. I tried to talk to my sister (hence the connection, I was talking to the other sister and she was telling me how the volcano was bothering her and her potential flight plans to europe) and she was no help. I think her husband was next to her, but I don't remember seeing him, they were sitting in the living room. So I went back to my room. I tried shaking myself out of the dream. And it worked a little. For I was transported from standing in my room into being in my bed. And I could feel sensation in my arm. I kept shaking my arms and legs, but it wasn't enough. I tried shaking my head as well. It worked a little. (Oh, and before this, I saw a giant eel floating past my living room / kitchen window--and then I was like, oh great, now I'm halucinating, this could not be a dream, I could finally be having vivid, visual hallucinations.) But I realized quickly that it was a dream. There was just way too much weird shit, so I went to my room, and then, that's when I tried shaking myself out of the dream. It hadn't occured to me to call out for help. I kept shaking and shaking and sensation returned into my body. Finally I was close enough out of the dream that I could tear the damn eyemask off and look at the clock in front of me. Thank god. A) I was out of the dream. B) I had woken up at my normal time that I get up to go to work. But I had to go and tell my father--as my mother wasn't home--and then go outside and have a cigarette. That's when I started to compare the experience to my 4 years ago. Could 4 years ago have been a dream? Well, in both cases, I felt out of control, except in my dream, I felt the control was my own brain in a dream, I could tell, and 4 years ago, I thought it was someone else, someone malicious (at least during the moments of the experience). In both cases I had wild ideas (4 years ago I partially imagined I was on stage in front of the host of the TV show and the magician, on a table, and they were "performing" whatever it was they were trying to do, and when it was "over" they flew me by helicopter (as I was actually in a recreated room of my apartment on some studio lot) back to my room). But 4 years ago, these wild ideas were just suppositions, I never saw anything, and even while I was supposing them I knew I could dismiss them as just trying to explain why someone/something was asking me to raise my arm. In both cases, something effected my body in ways I didn't want. In my dream, I felt I couldn't breathe because the air had changed. I kept trying to talk to people, tell them I couldn't breathe, but no one would listen to me, and so, in a sense, it was like I couldn't speak. 4 years ago, again, I couldn't speak, when the pain in the sensitive regions occured, I tried to call out, but I couldn't speak, no one could hear me. But in my dream, there was the comfort of realizing I was in a dream, as it was so fantastical, and things kept switching without proper transitions, like a dream usually does. So even though I couldn't breathe, and was frightened, it wasn't like I was at the mercy of someone and no one could help. I kept pointing to me throat at my sister, but she would do nothing. If it really was my sister, she would have done something, I realized even that much. How it differed. There was no pain in my nightmare. Not like that experience 4 years ago, when I felt the strongest pain I had ever experienced in my life (though it may be shaded by the fact it seemed to be in regions that were meant to humiliate me). Whatever the actual "decibles" of pain were, I don't know how they measure it, it was definitely the worst pain of my life. But in my nightmare, there was no pain. Also, 4 years ago, I felt there was a person behind it, the "magician." This time, I felt there was no one behind it, I was having a dream. You see, 4 years ago, I was a heavy marijuana user, I certainly hadn't gone two weeks without smoking in at least, god knows, how many years... Probably about 5. For 7 straight years, I was a daily/nightly user. Then I had my "break" (in more ways than one) and stopped for a year and a half, and I got to know the "fun" of dreams. In general, they were good dreams, but I didn't exactly enjoy them one way or the other. They were just interesting to an extent. But when you smoke marijuana constantly, you don't have dreams, or at least you don't remember them when you wake up. At least that's what happened with me. So, no big shock I had a dream this morning. I had quit marijuana again, though in about 28 hours from now, I will be calling up Hess and doing it again, hopefully with Hess, so I can make lots of wonderful music. But I don't remember the last time I had a nightmare, certainly not one that I could remember. This was a full blown nightmare, one I couldn't get out of, all the worst things of the 4 years ago, except for the pain, and a few extra anxieties for spice (such as possibly losing my job). And, that seems like a good place to stop, as again, I don't want to lose my job. So, I thought I'd share. Gotta go. Peace and love everyone. I'm perfectly fine. Thursday, April 22, 2010 10:41 AM Thursday, April 22, 2010 10:43 AM Oh, and another huge difference. 4 years ago, I didn't think I had fallen asleep. I was tired, from having sung all day and night with what I thought were famous people including James Brown (RIP). But I hadn't fallen asleep yet, not to my knowledge. I had merely laid in bed. I might have fallen asleep, but it didn't seem that way. In my dream, I knew I had fallen asleep. Also, in my dream, I could see, and everything was day time. 4 years ago, I could not see, everything was dark. Whatever happened 4 years ago, it probably happened in the period right before sleep, where your body goes through a kind of paralysis, do some searching on the scientific causes of succubi and incubi and you'll know what it is called and what it is about, and you'll see that is a much more likely state of being that I was in 4 years ago. Thanks. Yeah, do a Wiki on sleep paralysis, that's what I think I was in when I thought someone was telling me to raise my arm. Eventually, I got out of the paralysis enough to try to hold my jewels, which were I thought being made to feel painful, but I still felt the pain in them (yes, I realize I could have been squeezing them at that point). But it was very soon after the paralysis passed that the entire experience ended. I don't know if I couldn't move my body, as, again, I was trying to willfully not move my body, thinking the arm movement I "wanted" to do was something someone else wanted me to do. I do know I wasn't able to scream out, once I felt the pain. I was definitely in some kind of restriction. I thought I openned my mouth to scream, but I don't remember. All in all, it really sounds like paralysis mixed with sensory deprevation (remember I had my eye mask and earplugs in), and it was all indirectly related to any real or imagined things that were going on. Not in any way I think anyone could possibly expect--so I blame no one if it was paralysis and deprevation. I certainly haven't experienced it since then. But if it was a nightmare, or an incubus/succubus, or something better defined by modern science--it sure was a fucking bad trip. But, again, that was long ago. I am happy right now. I had a bad dream about an hour ago, but it passed, and I knew it was a dream. It was entirely dreamlike. It was no paralysis thing as I definitely was not fully conscious. And, if I did believe in magical things, I'd think more it was a blessing of a dream than anything. For it has helped me analyze my thing 4 years ago. And it just all the more sounds like that tricky imp of a brain of mine was at fault. Now my brain, there's a bitchgoddess for you. So, no worries world. I am happy. I am feeling good. And I'm going to go to work... Okay, I'm not /that/ happy then. But I'm pretty damn happy considering the fact I have to go to work. Thursday, April 22, 2010 10:58 AM |

AWBVIOUS
FADE IN: int. hospital – day This is AWBVIOUS +5, five years later, talking to Awbvious, 27-28 years old--however the director wants to achieve this.
awbvious +5 You'll make it five years. awbvious Then what? awbvious +5 I don't know, I'm only here five years so far. Maybe four. I'm rounding vigorously. awbvious Why do you seem so wizened?
Awbvious +5 reaches into his garment and pulls out some cigarettes. Then he changes his mind, thows them aside. awbvious +5 I'm on the patch again. awbvious Again? awbvious +5 I've quit so many times successfully so far, why break the running streak. awbvious What are smoking nowadays? AWBvious +5 Dunhills, naturally. Though I still pine for those Rothmann's from London, International, king-size, whatever the fuck. awbvious Did you just travel time high? awbvious +5 I might have. You're high right now.
A CHORUS appears behind them. Chorus No no no, shh shhh, can't tell anyone we're high. It's not right. We mustn't be wrong. Or let anyone know…
Beat. awbvious +5 Right… SATAN!
SATAN appears. satan Of course! You must not speak of me when you do my deeds. I am very shy, and would not like to come out to talk…
Satan becomes very girlish and coquettish. satan I am just a poor little thing, after all. awbvious Satan! You're insulting a multitude of cultures! satan I'm Satan! Fuck off!
GOD appears. god Hold it Satan. I am fucking God. satan Oh, you think I wouldn't take your name directly in vain, would ya? god Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. It's a stupid English word. But I don't see what it has to do with Me. awbvious +5 Hey, you guys, you have this fight all the time nowadays. Must I watch it? awbvious Woah, this is trippy stuff, I never tripped on God and shit. awbvious +5 Yeah, well, I just wanted to usher in some new, fictional…
A bunch of balloons falls from the ceiling, music is too loud, and AWBVIOUS +5 has trouble speaking. awbvious +5 Fictional! Yes, I said fictional. Everyone wants to see what I'd do with fiction. So, how about this, let's pretend it didn't take 5 years to heal. (Though it is really like 4 years, I just don't give a damn to do the math any more.) (beat) Let's create a character who will magically teach me everything I need to know to survive life in mental prison, which is life in itself.
Awbvious sits himself down, to hear a long story. awbvious +5 You know I'm thinking of Shawshank Redemption, the movie, and I'm sure the book it is based on. I'll create a Red for you. You'll meet him when you go into the hospital. awbvious I don't want to go to any hospital, I don't think… awbvious +5 Oh, you won't see it coming. Not exactly. But that's not fiction, this is fiction so… Fuck it. Fuck Red. Oh, is Satan and God still around?
Satan and God come into view. awbvious +5 Fuck… I can't do it. Just find another Job.
God starts whispering in his ear. AWBVIOUS +5 Hmm, heavenly aid in writing? Now that, I could go for… Fuck yeah, I want to do a good job. Fuck no, I don't want to work for Satan. Fuck, sure, make me a prophet, then I will have achieved the socio-economic status I desired, and no need for my sacrifice.
God gets angry again. awbvious +5 I mean life! I mean, no I need to die or nothin'. god You know I know what you were saying. And I know you know what I…
God starts to zone out. awbvious +5 Satan? Did you put anything in the punch? satan Ha ha ha, who me? I'm so proud, and yet ashamed. god Now put in a little maudlin. awbvious +5 I shouldn't even be talking to you. god That's true. awbvious +5 Why would I want negative thoughts? god Why indeed? awbvious +5 Poof! God becomes a psychiatrist. god God doesn't go out like that. awbvious +5 God can get funky in His diction too, it seems. satan It's hip, yo!
Satan and Awbvious +5 start to snicker. Awbvious is not in on the joke. awbvious +5 I need to stop laughing, you're just jumping on my bandwagon. satan Well, that ain't cool at all. god Hey, hey, that was my line! What? Why did I say that out loud, I meant to say the other thing out loud.
A computer noise is heard. "Out loud" is repeated over and over and dissipates, while the analog sound turns digital. god God doesn't need a computer. Stop writing this shit.
A shot of Satan behind a typewriter at a wooden desk. satan No, this is great shit, I need to put in action bits to break up the dialogue. god But the computer sound? satan I just mimicked a computer sound… god How… satan (embarrassed) Using a computer.
God laughs heartily. god I can do all kinds of things with my voice… Or Satan could. Don't always trust that I am who I say I am, unless it is I who says who I am. awbvious Oh, that sounds easy. awbvious +5 Yes, your mind has gotten agile in age, but also stubborn. Anyway, I'm not sure what I'm writing you as. Whether your role is a poster boy for delusionals of grandeur and / or…
Chorus laughs. awbvious +5 Or! Or. Are those who simply want to be chosen for their talents, by their peers, with a good shot.
Satan throws up his hands, the typewriter buttons go down on their own. Awbvious +5 is air-typing. awbvious +5 But should I go fiction? I mean, other than this little romp here with God and Satan? GOD Romp? Satan Little? awbvious +5 I love it, I can call upon satan and god, but I gotta call on both, it seems, sometimes. But never satan alone, which is nice. But all this faith stuff, I'm so new to it. Awbvious You telling me you actually got God? god YES! awbvious God, no need to shout. (beat) I mean, I always had a contingency plan on you revealing yourself to me. I'd say, hey, hey, wait a second, I know you're getting angry… god I'm not getting angry… awbvious I'm saying you would be, if it w… god Well, it ain't. awbvious K.
Awbvious stops talking and Awbvious +5 stops typing. STEPHAN, a man about his age, stands in wings, spotlight shines. Stephan smiles, bows, curtseys, then handwaves the light away.
The light goes to Awbvious. They are now in a stage, as opposed to nowhere, which is where I had them before. satan Hey, hey, no putting stuff in the… awbvious +5 (light upon him) Oh, I get it, Satan gets to write the dialogue for a while, while God gets to write stage directions.
Whoot, whoot, whoot Howl. A buzzer goes off… Nothing happens. So the applause returns and balloons fall from the sky. satan Okay, listen to this: (gets out his reading glasses…) Whoot, whoot, whoot Howl. A buzzer goes off… Nothing happens. So the applause returns and balloons fall from the sky. (beat) What kind of crap is that? god That isn't very nice.
God would not say that. satan Shut up God!
First say what's in the stage directions. satan Fine!
Satan does some mouse clicks with the typewriter that is now a computer. awbvious +5 That reminds me of some work I have to do tomorrow. god Yes, tomorrow being the point. satan (Sounding like God) Now… (Sounding like himself) Now. Uh, nevermind. god See, see how easy it is for Satan to appear as me? Tomorrow isn't the point. The point is you have a job now. People depend on you and you're getting satisfaction out of your employment. awbvious Oooh. god Yes, and you are also… Wait a second, would I give you this much ego pills? awbvious Would you call them "ego pills?" god No. awbvious +5 See, my perception of God hasn't changed much in the last 5 years, He's just becoming more apparent lately. satan Or Satan is. awbvious +5 Good point. awbvious Or my mind is just… Dare I say the "c" word? Dare I say? "Creative?" god I saw what you did right there, Satan…
God, relents, he takes his stage direction time to say, I changed the A to an O when I typed my name in the stage directions. satan Check out these stage directions: God, relents, he takes his stage direction time to say, I changed the A to an O when I typed my name in the stage directions. god
hasesuoth H
God is fucking with the Word program that I am using to write this. satan Or someone sure is.
Satan gets his spotlight, he walks forward, smoking a cigarette. satan Yes, how do you know… How do you know someone isn't right now reading your every word, and waiting, to trick you into typing something you shouldn't. How do you know it isn't your own mind? How do you know anything? How can you function? awbvious +5 By acting Christian. satan Shutthefuckup. god Now I was about to… No I wasn't. I know, I know, if I say something bad about you, you'll fuck with my computer. Because you're a benevelont God. AWBVIOUS +5 My computer could be a trap lying in wait. Someone stupid might have tried to interfere, but someone smarter just realized. Just an assumption. Waits for more irregular activity with computer… satan Couldn't… Couldn't you have just did that yourself???
Satan looks very sad, and weak. satan Hey, you know what He just wrote about me? awbvious +5 Hmm, I wonder if this is because I enabled macros, maybe it had a dirty macro, maybe someone tried to use it who was watching, sneaky. Am I going to inspect the macro? Um… Yeah, that's a bit much. I will say this though, my computer got a little wonky. And it might have to do with the fact that this template is something like 10 years old (macros may have changed over the years). I am starving. Guys, this nicotine gum isn't working for me. awbvious Ha! I can just have a cigarette. awbvious +5 But you'd still be hungry, and unable to write, which is the issue with getting food. Why stop now, I'm stream of consciousness, flowing with my mind, letting it go where it wants to, it is fiction, baby, once I came into the story it's like, fuck, who says he will be non-fictional any more. How can I trust another damn word out of his mouth? That's why I'm just stream of conciousnessing it. GOD Me, that's some horrendous shit. awbvious +5 God?! god Wasn't me.
One of Awbvious +5's and Awbvious's eyelids fall simultaneously. god That's more like me. awbvious +5 Satan, stop trying to write the dialogue. satan Fine, do it with out me. awbvious +5 Okay, for one, I must explain the misspelling/mistypings. They are normal. As are the program hiccups. I think I remember typing "once" and then having to go back and delete the "c." Okay, I'm getting paranoid. I should eat something.
Awbvious heads for the door. But stops, God takes him aside. god Now, let me do the talking and the doing. awbvious +5 I wasn't really going to run. For carbs. god Yes, you were. I stopped you before you decided is all.
Awbvious +5 shows surprise and agreement. awbvious +5 Okay, so, now we are alone. What shall we talk about? god I thought… Wait, let's write Satan out.
Satan gets written out… I mean, Satan disappears. god Good. Now, we don't really need you at 27 yet. We'll deal with you at 31. Hmm, what's that, 4 years? Yes, you are so… Creative, sometimes. awbvious +5 I try. god You are tempted to say "says Satan." But you know it is only his vanity that wants his name repeated. I am God, I have a mission, of good. awbvious +5 Does God have a mission from God? god No, someone created me. awbvious +5 You, in your own image.
Awbvious takes on God's voice. awbvious +5 You created me. In your image, which considering how much you think of it, oh, can I show them what happened at class on Monday? Names will be changed to protect the innocent?
A class room setting, Awbvious is surrounded by 12 like-aged people, and an instructor. instructor Okay, so we've got these teacher eval forms.
INSTRUCTOR DOPPELGANGER appears. instructor doppelganger What, that sounds nothing like me! For the love of…
God appears. GOD Yes? INSTRUCTOR DOPPELGANGER How did he ever get in here? AWBVIOUS +5 Do you want to hear what was said or not? I'll keep it to what was said between students about students. instructor doppelganger Well, I'll be here. Or, heh, I guess I won't be. But, say what you feel you must. PERSON A …An asexual. PERSON B A what? AWBVIOUS +5 I think she's confusing sexuality with gender.
Person A makes a slight gesture of slapping her forehead. person a Yes. Person c What was that? person B (whispering to C) Something something asexual. person c What's this about [person's name]
Person C looks about for something to say.
person c Person X? And asexual? person B (not whispering) No, I was saying in our program. person c What? person B Yeah, there is someone who's supposedly a full out asexual. Person D Who? person E What's this? person B Well, this person, well, Person Y. person d Person Y, first name? person B Yeah, she's supposedly an asexual, she's very open about it. She even blogs about it. person f As what, or who, rather? person B Well, her blog she's the… awbvious +5 (to camera) What am I supposed to say here? I can't say Person Z. Even that Person Y, first name, was stretching it. But I can't, fine, I'll make up something. Nope, that's too on the nose. person d Really, that's her? person G Wait, wait, wait, wait, you telling me she doesn't even masturbate?
Laughter. Awbvious looks up from his abstract drawing that he is making into his sketch pad. person E Look, I'm just trying to do my (overlapping) teacher's evaluation form, and I'm hearing words like asexual, and masturbate. Person B (to Person C, overlapping) No, the issue isn't that, it's something something. person E (cont.) I'm trying to write and I'm writing… person H (underbreath to Person I) No, the only issue is something something. Person I Ha ha ha ha. person e (cont.) …And clearly expressed goals and was masturbate… wait, what…
Most of class laughs, as does Awbvious +5. awbvious +5 Actually, the only issue is whether or not she cares about people talking about her issues.
Class stops laughing and looks dumbfounded. A split second later Person H laughs. Suddenly all the students start talking to the people closest to them in a cacophony. awbvious +5 (to camera) I don't know what was said next, I was dazed at having just said that entirely straight faced.
Person A is now talking to someone next to them, as that person was when mentioned "asexual." Person A (to PERSON K) Something something. (looks over to Awbvious +5) Call on the moral police. awbvious +5 Yes, I am the moral police, here is my badge. (to camera) I have no badge. I was no longer humorous, I was trying to hard to move the subject along. (beat) I mean, I blog. I blogged back then.
Awbvious reappears. awbvious Hello. awbvious +5 I blog today. I might even blog the very works I type tonight.
Satan appears. satan Hey! awbvious +5 Sorry Satan, too late, already decided to do it. |

What about this color? What to say? Should I be saying it in my memoir? My memoir is shit. I could keep writing in it, but where, to what end, etc. I must ignore these thoughts. I just want to talk about something outside of my memoir, well, at least not i don't know, I just lost any thought.
Anyway, you were saying?
Anyway, you were saying?
I've remade my heat-gun vaporizer! Yes, a cheapest-to-buy heat gun at [major hardware store], a lamp dimmer switch, a "cheater" plug, and a bunch of other shit i didn't end up using. For the bowl, I have a glass bowl that fits on a glass stem, glass to glass. Then I have a hookah tube that I bought on [major etailer], along with ... o fuck it. i'm just going to say the name of the places. Home Depot. Amazon. The glass stuff, I got that at a random head shop. And on Amazon I bought the jar, it's probably 48 ounces, though I could have sworn it said 60 ounces--but that could have been for the whole set--all three had cork tops of course.
4:20! Woot. Fuck... I have been awake too long. Goodnight.

I think I should do more writing in the memoir... no, wait, i'm singing... no wait, there's only so much time for everything. The abilify has made me fat, i have gained 10 pounds. Oh dear, I have an email, I must see if I have received. Mm, seems it may be a bit stringent to read. i will try.
okay, now i gotta respond.

Fair enough.
I got at least one, maybe two emails. I didn't respond because I wasn't sure yet what to think. Not that I am any more sure now.
I live in reality 99% of the day, for every time I think I am not in reality, it is quick, like a moment. Then it passes, a thought occurs to me, as part of the game I play, as part of my hobby, as part of my addiction, as part of my ennui. I don't know.
Where does ones ruminations, wonders, and imaginations, turn into psychosis, and delusions, and even "magical thinking"--as my first psychiatrist pointed it out. It's just something about me, because I think it is plausible to happen to someone, if not me, someone else of immense talent. The appeal is there, the question is who has the resources, would they gamble on such a thing of questionable morality? With reality shows being the way they are, I'd have to say, yes. Should they, or did they, pick me? I always have to pause when I think of that. Probability says no, Occam's Razor says no, science says... I'm not sure what science says, am I to think of my potential as being so limited? That I would not be a target of something I could see easily happening to many less talented than myself--or at least my own perception?
And it is on this that it delves into fiction. It is going against probability and fact. Fact, regardless of whatever I think, I am sure there are a lot more who think otherwise. (I'm glad you don't mind the being stoned, for I am.) I am glad you don't hate me, but you fear me, and I feel that from others as well. It is the burden I get for letting out these little thoughts that just pass quickly, but tantalize so. It's my own imaginary world, where everyone is a character, whether they like it or not, whether I like it or not.
Clearly, you've read my blog, so, I am flattered. And have great admiration for you. Let me say that I am going to post this email (my part only), as I think it interesting.

This isn't the first time I've written that I was going to share something in email online, but i am curious as to how it is received. I probably shouldn't say anything, in fact, I won't. I won't say any more about the subject, not until, well, shit. I already openned the subject here... I didn't get any "I didn't like that" vibe... Which is good. Hmm, I wonder what I should do for the next chapter of my memoir...
Focus. You are eating too much. I know, i've gone from 6'1" 175 lbs to 182 lbs. It may have something to do with the increased Abilify dosage. It could be because Satan made food so tasty. Its one of my few freedoms, I can eat until I stuff myself, middle class opulence. food is no longer status enough for me. Now, if i lived alone, I wouldn't have these crackers, so I would be quite thin. BUT NO. I live at home. So I just increase in size.
I should live alone just so I can lose some g-- damn weight. (Should I curse if I am going through a crisis of faith? I think I won't, to be safe.) Unless I have a girlfriend who is ridiculously beautiful but doesn't care what I look like, and in fact encourages me to be slothful and fat, I don't think I'll be 185 for very long--or that I'll get any heavier. For, you see, I need to use my laziness to my advantage. And that means not having food at the house. No temptation. I don't do well with temptation.
That's it, I'm telling my mother to stop buying foods I like, except cereal. Either that, or I have to swear to myself to eat nothing but cereal. Okay, that's the deal. Whenever I get munchies, I eat cereal. For this is ridiculous. I just keep eating and eating. There is a limit, however, one can have of cereal, if it is all I am willing to give myself, then it will be all that I will eat, when I am home and corpulent. Besides, eating cereal means being in the kitchen, that reduces the amount of times I will be there, right there.
Okay, I think I'll celebrate my new cereal diet with a bowl of cereal.

In life, when all else fails, write. If writing fails... Then, I don't know, become an accountant.
Me? I'm a writer. I have been for many years, I am proud of being a writer. But I would never go so far as to say it was easy.
Oh sure, something like this, this is easy. This is just my thoughts, but they aren't good, pretty thoughts, I mean, they aren't fancy or special. They are simply thoughts, whatever I happen to have at the time. Right now, my thoughts are rather bland. But here you are, privvy to them.
I hide nothing. Well, almost nothing. There are two things I have told people about that I am not proud of, and while they have gotten me a few jokes at my expense, they have never been deemed that bad, or anything I should hide... I don't know, I'm not completely confessional feeling today.
I just went to a mass/funeral for a priest. His name was... Well, his name doesn't matter. He was a good soul, a kind old man, funny, had great jokes, had sermons you actually wanted to listen to. But he was 91, he was bound to die, and, indeed, likely while I was still living at home. I had seen him for maybe 2 years however.
Heh, it was funny. After the funeral, I talked to some recent catholic converts. One of them actually likes me, I mean, she is interested in me. If only I felt the same. I double check to make sure I am not merely dismissing her because she is interested me--and yes, I do not put that past me.
My, this heatgun vaporizer is acting quite nicely. I can't quite hold the tube in my mouth and type though. But I have it on a low dimmer switch setting right now, and it is vaporizing without burning very very nicely.
