This Is What I Think.

Give up, Astronaut



Typical of a conspiracy of the Ether, I almost bought a telescope on Amazon a few hours before I even knew this production even existed.

I started off a short-while ago to cancel my subscription to Hulu and I noted this title and decided to watch it first.

The telescope was very tempting. But I hate debt. Not that it's very expensive but would have to charge it if I wanted it. Seems like a great deal, though. Along with the Cyber-monday deal, a 15% rebate on my credit card. If I were to purchase it, which I am not. I've been wanting for a while a telescope I can adapt my camera to but I am cautious about making a poor choice for purchase, not to mention I don't want to spend money I don't have. I also have a serious problem with light pollution on my patio. And I don't have a car to drive around to find a dark-site for a heavy telescope.

Watching this means more to me than would to you. Means less than nothing to you. Because it's not about you. That's all that's important to you. You and your feeble little mind are the center of your own dim-wit Universe.

At this point, I've decided this blog is more about me than *anything* else. Better for me, in this state of isolation that is the most complete any free-man in the United States can experience, I can only guess, better to publish my thoughts in a public forum than to sit here and....All I can remember in the years 2005 and 2004 and years before that. When I felt as thought I was experiencing the same level of outward openness just by writing anything on my private computers, in my private email. The only thing that's changed is that in the year 2005 I started this blog. From then to now, and each successive day in between, nothing has changed. My efforts every waking hours has been for the same purpose.

If the purpose here was some sort of half-ass plan to jog memory of my fugue-induced brain then that seems to be complete failure. Because certainly by now, by virtue of the fantastic evidence I have provided proving fantastic activities of a secret and protected life, certainly by now I would have had at least a few actual memories return to conscious memory.

Sure, perhaps that's what my sleeping dreams are, but I do not know. I would expect something different.

And how long before it finally happens? Another 30 years? What's the point of that? I struggle here day after day only to finally remember something that causes me at 80 years old to have a fatal heart-attack.

Irony is a much over-used word in this whiner-society that is the United States of America but that seems to be a good example of irony, if that happened in the future.

AND YOU KNOW IT'S 5 AM because the mindless droning of "Exactly!", Timmy, has started broadcasting over the local tv news station from the antenna up there on Tower (Krell) Mountain. You were "Like, exactly, like, for sure, like".

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Quotes

[Lecturing in class]

Indiana Jones: Archeology is the search for fact, not truth. If it's truth you're interested in, Dr. Tyree's Philosophy class is right down the hall. So forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and "X" never, ever marks the spot.

Rules of Acquisition, "Dear Phoebe"

My official United States Navy records, the only military records I have and that cover the period of time from May 1983 to May 14, 1990, indicate my deployment on the USS Wainwright CG 28 to the Persian Gulf, also known as Arabian Gulf, ended on 07/11/1988.

Corroborated by evidence I've discovered on the USS Wainwright Veterans Association, the way I remember it we returned to homeport in Charleston, South Carolina, on 07/09/1988.

A few minutes later, I looked at the clock.

A few minutes after 12:30 AM

I had gotten out of bed and walked to the bathroom here in my tiny apartment and flipped on the light.

Standing there y mind is churning over something. Normal, it seems, every thing seems normal.

The recessed ceiling fan is what I noticed first. Very loud noise.

My subconscious mind seems about to ask me: Why are my eyes closed? Why is there such bright light beyond my closed eyes.

My brain is telling me I am still standing upright.

The ceiling fan is very loud. Something very important is circulating in my thoughts. My eyes are closed. There is bright light beyond my eyes.

I am not standing upright.

I am actually crumpled up on the floor between the toilet on the wall on the right-side.

The fall never registered in my mind. As I dropped to the floor one of my appendages must have slammed down the toilet lid seat and that never registered in my mind when it happened.

First order of business, stand up. Vague sense of pain begins in my right leg.

Limp into other room and glance at clock: 12:34 AM.

Lie in bed for a long time with teeth clenched shut afraid to take any ibuprofen and in a futile effort to fall back to sleep.

These are the best nights outside here in Spokane during winter.

The low clouds reflect the city lights. The fresh snow falling from the sky. The cold fresh air.

Walking, limping outside to carry out the trash I wanted to walk around and practice more of night-time photography but that is now too painful and I should probably stay off my feet. There should be more chances later if the weather reports are accurate.

5 days after the 22nd and my foot still hurts like a sonofabitch from being crumpled up on the floor. And still bruised. I thought I had broken it. Yesterday I noticed for the first time where my right elbow must have scraped the wall.

[closes the door leaving Marty outside]

Marty McFly: No, wait, Doc. Doc. The-the-the bruise on your head, I know how that happened. You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet and you were hanging a clock, and you fell and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the flux capacitor,

Marty McFly: which is what makes time travel possible.

Episode # 101

[Opening scenes]

[The episode commences with the aftermath of a car accident. There are horns beeping in the background. A man awakens in his vehicle that is flipped on its roof. The man is startled and pants heavily. The windshield is shattered and pieces of glass are falling on him. Smashed grapefruit are strewn on the street. The man is wearing a Kevlar vest and is breathing heavily. He is trying to gain his bearings. In the background there is the sound of a woman screaming. Her screaming continues as he seeks a way to exit his vehicle. The man grunts and groans as he climbs out of the car via the driver side window, accidentally grabbing the pipe from the muffler and burning his right hand. He is wearing a handgun and badge. He is Mark Benford, an FBI agent. There is a body lying in the street against the curb. The sound of car security alarms blare amongst all the cries for help. A woman is kneeling next to the unconscious man and is calling out for help. ]

WOMAN: [sobbing] Please help me! Please! [screaming] Someone! Please! Please!

[Man shouts indistinctly]

MARK: Demetri! Demetri!

[As Mark looks around there is chaos everywhere. The roadway has crashed vehicles everywhere. One vehicle is on top of a convertible sports car and only the driver's left arm of the driver is exposed. A man exits a car, engulfed in flames, and runs amok.]

Dying of the Light (2014)

There's no reason to be alone in this.
- So what is prescribed?
- Usually serotonin inhibitors...
Zoloft, Paxil... or antidepressants.
But those are drugs for crazy people,
manic-depressives. That's not me.
Okay, let's get that clear.
That's not who I am.
Look, these medications address
the behavioral symptoms.
- Not the disease?
- That's correct.
