I have been awake for a very long time already
Not long ago, still dark outside, lie down on the bed, hoping to at least nap for a while. First day this season I heard people scraping frost off their cars
Could not fall to sleep. Accepted the impulse in my conscious-mind to prepare in the microwave a bowl of chicken-noodle soup, along with saltine-crackers. Perhaps I would feel better
Standing near the microwave, thoughts began forming about the 1979 "Apocalypse Now"
There are many references I have made to that title over the years and there is specific dialog that drives my certainly about the year 2004 and the Crossland. If you have not read those references by me then you are a completely ignorant dumbass.
Thinking of that specific dialog and I consume the soup, which was satisfying.
Then I began to wonder, as I have thousands of times before today's similar occurrence, if there is anything interesting in my original-work code-pattern and this day today 10/06/2025
If you're the typical First Worlder selfish polluter, then you cannot understand anything unless it has some sort of hippie dippy, ponies-and-rainbows solution at the ending.
This note proves nothing.
Decided to make it only because it seems compelling to me today
Works only because the thoughts formed first in my conscious mind
Then and only then *after* the thoughts formed did I generate and assemble this content in this note, with the progress of this note on this page matching the cognitive process in my mind today

Quotes
[first lines]
US Army captain Benjamin Willard (voice-over): Saigon. Shit. I'm only in Saigon. Every time, I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife until I said yes to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now. Waiting for a mission. Getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker. And every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter.

Quotes
Willard (voice-over): Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.

Was 3/15/1998 the last day I spent with my wife as her husband, Thomas Ray? I used a similar method to arrive at that date as I did with 6/28/1998. The date 6/28/1998 is when I think I woke up, similar to the first episode of “Quantum Leap” that I read about recently, but cannot actually remember watching, with this new identity.
It could be that 3/14/1998 was our last day together and 3/15/1998 was the day I said goodbye to her, until we meet again, as I went to the facility where I would undergo the medical procedure to consciously suppress my memories and replace them with artificial and symbolic memories.
From 2/23/1945 ( Joe Rosenthal captures the photograph "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" ) To 3/15/1998 ( ) is 19378 days
19378 = 9689 + 9689
From 11/2/1965 ( me ) To 5/13/1992 ( ) is 9689 days

I got that wrong actually. The date 3/15/1998 was the age difference with me, which I then applied to 7/16/1963.
And it should be 3/14/1998. I'm not thinking too well right now.

There has been a long-standing effort to destroy the CIA by destroying the families of the people in the CIA.
12/06/07 7:17 PM
It is not necessary to have a family to be succesful in the CIA but I think that having a family should not be a hindrance to employees of the CIA.

There's gold, and it's haunting and haunting;
It's luring me on as of old;
Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting
So much as just finding the gold.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 743
From Wikipedia
United Nations Security Council resolution 743, adopted unanimously on 21 February 1992, after reaffirming resolutions 713 (1991), 721 (1991), 724 (1991), 727 (1992) and 740 (1992), and considering that the situation in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia constituted a threat to international peace and stability, the council established a peacekeeping mission in the country, known as the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), with the aim of reaching a peaceful political settlement in the region.
excerpt
"The Raven"
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by Horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."
"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting -
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."
