Been there.....such fun!

Been there before too...... it's a veritable party..... after that the fun continues.... the pole light near the road burned out so I have to slap on the snowshoes just to get to it and replace one bulb...woohoo...the winter fun just never ends

After a few days of much needed rain, the sun is shining again here in Northern California. It was good rain but not enough.

I've got to the point I have a brief reduction in homework. I powered through two of the books being read, and I have a week to get caught up on the reading for another class (over 200 pages between two books, in addition to two articles the teacher gave us to read) before the other two classes throw another book at me to read. Hunter S. Thompson is on the list for next in one of the classes (Hell's Angels), so I don't anticipate that book adding much of a road block in keeping up with the rest of my readings.

Of course you're a fur person. And not only that

Rain.....that sounds familiar.....is that liquid snow?

Upon learning that Tenacious D beat both Motörhead and Slipknot for best metal performance (and Slipknot puts on one HELLUVA show, as does Stone Sour. More accurately, Corey Taylor, the sexy man beast of a god of a live performer (though he should have kept his hair long), puts on a HELLUVA show!!!!!!), I have found myself loathing the Grammys on an even deeper level, which I did not know was possible. And how did they beat Motörhead? Lemmy just being on stage is a trump-card, check-mate, coup do grace, death blow, and overall ultimate win, just because it's Lemmy ****ing Kilmister!

I hate to admit it, but the new Slayer song, Implode, sounds kinda deflated without Jeff Hannaman.

My drinking tolerance has really dropped. I've barely dived into my bottle of rum and it's already hitting me.
Another good drink and I'll be good for the night. Two more good drinks and I'll be reminding myself that it would be so very easy to become an alcoholic if it wasn't for the morning after.

I'm also to the point I keep reaching for my lip ring thinking it's my guitar pick because I keep a pick between my teeth while I am playing.
I've also notice since I have two ear rings now that I can hear a very slight clacking noise if I shake my head hard enough, which isn't really even that hard.

I need to invent a guitar where the strings are further spread out so people like me who go from bass to guitar can keep on using our fingers to pick without having this other string right below the one we are picking to screw things up.
And because my bass is in the shop being repaired (I did buy it used, and some repairs have become necessary), and because violin bows are expensive, all I have right now is my guitar. Which makes me sound so ****ing unappreciative because it's a Les Paul model.

To those who have left paradise far behind, the blessing of rain is frozen just like hearts out of the garden are frozen. I'm not in paradise itself, of course, but close enough to feel the warm breezes.

I didn't choose to leave paradise. I didn't even chose to be born in a place that isn't paradise. I don't think I'm moving to paradise for school either, for even though I really do want to go where it's warmer and where the winters will be more gentle on my knee, I am going to where it's even colder than here for school, and maybe even colder (depends on where exactly in Japan I'm sent to) just for pure fun, or as it is otherwise known as, for just ****s-and-giggles. Hell may just be a very welcome change because it will actually be warm there.
But my claim to fame as an anti-Christ includes being born in the middle of a pretty bad Mid West plains storm (and my how the thunder booms and rumbles in Missouri).

I work with this chick who is in the same upper level philosophy class that I am in. Today, even though she was joking over what over a joke of a thing that was said, she mentioned if I didn't agree to her over this joke of a situation, that she wouldn't talk to me anymore at work about this philosophy class. I immediately thought it would be her loss, as she is the one who is constantly asking me what "x-author" meant when he (nearly always factually "he" in philosophy) meant when he said "y." This happened last semester, and it continues into this semester. I think next time I'll tell her if she has a question about Nietzsche, I'll tell her to pour gasoline on her Bible, make sure it is thoroughly soaked and saturated in gasoline, light that suma ***** on fire, throw it throw a window, embrace the feelings of self-empowerment, and then maybe, just maybe, she will begin to understand Nietzsche.
But for now I am stuck on trying to explain the master and slave morality, while at the same time trying to explain to her that personal and individual strengths and weaknesses, per each and every individual/person, do not factor into the very broad brush that Nietzsche painted with. For some reason I also find it abit trying to explain this, what I see as a very easily understood philosophy, when my own philosophical Marxist leanings tend to see things in a fundamentally different way. The bird of prey cannot just simply kill off the lamb and think it good because it is tasty because the bird of prey needs the lamb to perpetuate its status as a top predator. Had Nietzsche dropped his misogyny, his defense of the social and economic status quo (through his elitism and seemingly contradictory stance on putting the masters above the slaves while also not thinking too highly of the masters, and his criticisms of socialism which have grown into a standard, run-of-the-mill critique of Socialist theories that are based on a complete misunderstanding of socialist and further left views), and had he not been so broad in his generalizations, I don't think I'd find anything wrong with him at all.

I think the Captain and I are officially pilfering this page of the thread.
Except, I just remembered, the Captain was not on sale tonight (actually last night now), and it is actually a bat, maybe, or some other winged creature that is helping me to totally gank this page of the discussion.

Ohhh...ohhhh.....ohhhhh!!!!! Netflix has the first five seasons of M*A*S*H*!!!!! I really don't think there is any episode I haven't seen, as it has consistently been shown on TV for throughout the duration of my life for a year longer than Star Trek: TNG, but it's really cool to see this again, even if the TV show went on for much longer than the war that took place during the story of the show. But it's only the first five seasons, which cuts the show very, very short. But then again, Netflix made following the X-Files and ST:TNG much, much, much easier than trying to watch whatever episode TV gives you, when and if you can watch it, so I'm definitely going to have to rewatch MASH to get the full story, in order, to follow it better and just incase there are any episodes I missed over 28 years of watching the show on TV.

I knew Radar has a stump hand that he hides exceptionally well, but I have realized I have never seen the pilot episode.

I'll settle for a roaring fire in me stove, & then a brisk walk (3 mi) to work in an 8F winter blunderland.
