by me, Kerry Burgess, 11/04/2024 4:59 PM

Worked on this earlier today after waking in the early morning

Just a short while ago, looking for a video that would not cause me more work

And this was a random choice from a streaming-video channel and the title from year 1995

Some of this I had worked on earlier and I updated it after making this random choice of a video that I started watching as it had been in progress already for a while before I started watching it

Watched "From" s3e7 before watching the ending of "Dead President's". "From" didn't make me think about anything else

If this is the first blog-post by me that you're reading then you don't know about the stuff it relates to

Dead Presidents (1995)

(from internet transcript)

You start bringin' some real money
in here, like a real man, and then
I'll think about givin' it back to him.
Until then, I don't wanna hear shit.
You need to get your tight ass together,
that's what you need to do, and stop
feelin' sorry for your damn self.
Sometimes it's like you ain't even
the same man I knew before the war.
That's who I was in love with.
That's who I thought showed
the fuck back up here.
I don't know who the fuck you are.









Dead Presidents (1995)

(from internet transcript)

Not at this moment, you ain't. No.
But the motherfucker
ain't sniffin' around here...
tossin' money in your
motherfuckin' face for nothin'!









Dead Presidents (1995)

(from internet transcript)

Man. Y'all sayin' my man is
goin' around handin' out $100 bills...
and sayin' that
God Almighty gave it to him?
My cousin lives up there
in Mount Vernon. He says that Cleon's
up there actin' a goddam fool.
That ol' high-profile ass
nigger.
Bought a brand-new Caddy.
Folk know he can't afford it.
- Look, man, I'm gonna go
over there and talk to him.
- No, no, no. Fuck the talk!
I'm drivin' up there, and I'm gonna
take him out before he rats us out.
Look, Kirby.
I'm gonna handle everything, all right?
- I'm gonna straighten this shit out.

Memorandum Approving the Adoption by the Federal Government of a Standard Code for Information Interchange

March 11, 1968

Memorandum for the Heads of Departments and Agencies

I have today approved a recommendation by the Secretary of Commerce, submitted under provisions of Public Law 89-306, that the United States of America Standard Code for Information Interchange be adopted as a Federal standard.

In my memorandum to you of June 28, 1966, I stressed the need for achieving, with industry cooperation, greater compatibility among computers. The earlier adoption of the Standard Code for Information Interchange as a voluntary standard by the United States of America Standards Institute reflects a national concern with this need.

Two Microsoft employees who were fired last week after organizing a vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza say the company retaliated against them for their pro-Palestinian activism.

The two, Abdo Mohamed, a researcher and data scientist, and Hossam Nasr, a software engineer, organized the event outside Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, on 24 October. They were fired later that evening.

by me, Kerry Burgess, 11/03/2024

Summer of year 2001.

Deserter-in-chief George W. Bush was settling into the White House and spends his days doing nothing other than gleefully sniffing the fabric furniture of the unscrubbed Oval Office.

Microsoft Premier Support for Developers was still leasing several floors of the Bank of America building in downtown Bellevue with our stunning views of the Seattle skyline and the Olympic mountains beyond and the incredible sunsets

I had moved into a new building that was new construction and that had no previous occupants, to my delight. Very expensive, and while I was paid well, I was accumulating no wealth as a full-time employee of Microsoft Corporation. I became homeless in year 2005 after selling off my 401k contributions. My beloved Jeep Wrangler was repossessed by the credit lender in 2005. I have not owned or possessed any vehicles since

But in year 2001, I had that great apartment that was very expensive, for me, and I always remember an incident in the summer of 2001.

I hap a top floor apartment in that newly constructed building and I was the first resident when it opened.

I moved to another apartment from the apartment I started there in on another floor and other side of the building

This second apartment was a corner unit and had a grand view of downtown Bellevue, which was really nice when the full moon appeared at night and there was a lot of window space on the living area walls

Summer of 2001.

I generated several telephone calls to 9-1-1 for noise complaints. Finally they told me to stop calling about it.

Was not until later that I spoke in person directly to a city police officer

There was the one day I was sitting on the couch relaxing and suddenly everything started shaking

It was very loud music from the apartment directly under mine

Incredulous, I went downstairs to complain directly to the occupant. Was easy to find the source of the disturbance because I could clearly hear it from the hallway outside his apartment

He invited me and I walked in, thinking of how it was a perfect copy of my same apartment directly above. Except for all his stuff. He must have been some sort of "pack-rat", with all the clutter in that expensive apartment. He told me he worked as a security guard and that didn't make much sense to me. He didn't appear to be some sort of executive or manager-type so I wondered how he could afford that apartment

Later, I was again sitting in my living room on my new leather sectional sofa and I was again incredulous to see an antenna rising from below my deck to hover above my deck. The walls were almost all windows in the living area.

I went downstairs and complained about it bitterly. It was some sort of radio transmitter antenna. He didn't take it down so I went to the leasing office to complain. She chuckled and told me he was having to pay them for repairs because he dropped that antenna to the concrete below and broke several slabs that covered the area. From my apartment, I looked over the edge of my patio and there was clearly damage down there on the first level.

Why this all seems relevant

He continued thumping the music loudly and I called the city police

An officer arrived and was politely discussing it with me

I followed him downstairs and stood out of view of the offending resident until he said something and I jumped around the corner and to his face declared he was lying to the police officer

A woman came out of the apartment that shared a wall with the offender and suggested I come into her apartment

I looked at her but otherwise ignored her

What always stands out in my memory is the expression on her face when she realized I was going to ignore her and not come into her apartment as she invited

Many times that memory has lingered in my mind and I wondered what it meant.

A messenger sent to notify me that I was to abandon my mission, abort my presence clandestinely at Microsoft Corporation, report to the new administration at CIA headquarters, and not reveal anything to the USA public about Jeffrey Epstein and his pals Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.

Oh, and The Mother of All Battles was about to surprise the Deserter-in-chief, coming from somewhere that would be soon revealed to us all

In the meantime, those clowns in the NRD for the CIA create disturbances and they think they are above the law and anyone affected are just casualties of conspiracy and have no recourse to the law

She got me to her door and I ignored her

John McClane: Ooooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I wanted to give you a call.

Karl: How does he know so much about th...

Hans Gruber: [silences Karl him with a gesture] That's very kind of you. I assume you are our mysterious party crasher. You are most troublesome, for a security guard.

by me, Kerry Burgess, 11/04/2024 04:27 AM

Because it reminds me of a very vivid sleeping-dream from over a decade before and that I have described here a few times, I sit down here at this desk and think of visions I saw just before waking a few minutes ago

Event Date variable of my original-work code-pattern becomes 11/04/2024

Target Date variable is not present in my conscious mind

Today is Monday and there is nothing in particular I am aware of at this moment. Yesterday was "From" s3e7 and I have not yet watched the streaming-video and I don't know anything about the content. That's the only new content I am tracking presently and that could possibly cause me to think of any Target Date variables, of which I have none. There is also The Simpsons, which I did watch last night

In my sleeping-dream, I am driving a vehicle on a highway in a place I never recognized

A later visualization suggests the vehicle was Cadillac brand, white in exterior color. A type of vehicle I never owned nor cared to own

Suddenly, I notice the highway ahead is covered with water

I cannot stop in time and as I remain in the floating vehicle, my vehicle plows into the water and the inertia drives me forward

Floating along, the power-steering remains operational and the front-wheels serve as a sort of double rudder on the front of the vehicle and I travel above the flooded roadway and navigate a curve in the roadway

To the left side, terrain rises sharply and is thickly covered in trees

Around that bend, the inertia drives my car up onto a small island, only a few feet wide and across

The power-steering fails then and I stop on that very small dune of dirt and step out of the car and look around

I noticed the dashboard clock still is active and the time is a few minutes after 11:30 AM

Ahead of me, the highway is deeply flooded and there is a wide channel of water to the right-side.

I seem to be on a very small slip of land between that highway and a flooded railway, parallel to the highway on my right-hand side, and the point ahead of me seems to be an intersection with the highway and a smaller road that crosses the railroad tracks

That point seems traversable by me on foot and that's my objective

Because beyond that channel of water covering the railroad tracks, I can see dry land

There are many signs of motion over there.

I see several vehicles moving around

And I know that's my destination because somewhere over there, out of my sight in my present location, is my home

I know during the sleeping-dream that I own a house over there somewhere

So I am going to wade across that channel of water.

The water is clear enough I can see the bottom

The weather seems warm enough that I am clad only in athletic shorts. I know the water is probably going to be cold so that's a concern in my mind

That's where I'm going. The sleeping-dream ends and I drag myself out of bed to sit here at this desk for another day

Here in the real world, today is the first time I noticed a prediction of snowfall here locally, however insignificant. AccuWeather predicted it yesterday for today and tomorrow. Gives me a predictable Target Date variable but I am not planning on checking for it

"The Emptiness Machine"

Your blades are sharpened with precision
Flashing your favorite point of view
I know you're waiting in the distance
Just like you always do
Just like you always do

Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I

Let you cut me open
Just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hoping
For what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
Going around like a revolver
It's been decided how we lose
'Cause there's a fire under the altar
I keep on lying to
I keep on lying to

Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I

Let you cut me open
Just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hoping
For what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine

I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part

I let you cut me open
Just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hoping
So fucking naive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
(I only wanted to be part of something)
The emptiness machine
(I only wanted to be part of)
The emptiness machine
