This Is What I Think.
Sunday, November 05, 2023
Today is 11/05/2023
by me, Kerry Burgess, 11/05/2023
Because of visions in my sleeping-mind early this morning, the content of this note begins
Every time, in those opening scenes, when Connor MacLeod goes from the stadium to encounter the guy in the parking-garage, I think to myself that his opponent always reminds me in appearance of the CO from Taylor, from 1984 until I left in February 1986 for basic electronics school in Orlando, Florida, as the first course of three in the curriculum for my Advanced Electronics Field occupation, leading over a year later to specialist in Missile Plot, the guided-missiles fire-control computers complex, where I specialized in Univac digital-computers and peripherals as technician and operator.
Additional content formed for this note as I decided to chose *today* - this calendar-day 11/05/2023 - to watch for the first time ever for me the episode 7 of the first season of "See". Even as I write this sentence, I have absolutely no sense for the specific content of that episode I will watch later today. Content that was most certainly established more than 4 years ago before today

Quotes
Kurgan: [to a pair of nuns passing by him] Happy Hallowe'en, ladies!
Kurgan: Nuns. No sense of humor.
Connor MacLeod: Ramirez's blade did not cut deeply enough. He was right about you. You're slime.
Kurgan: Ramirez was an effete snob! He died on his knees. I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was even cold.

(Colonial One - Baltar is alone, with paperwork spread out before him)
Six: I see they've put you to work. (He looks over, sees her sitting next to him.) Ignoring me won't help.
Baltar: No, I've decided you're an expression of my, uh, subconscious mind playing itself out through my waking states.
Six: Oh, I'm only in your head?
Baltar: Exactly.
Six: Hmm. Have you considered the possibility that I could very well exist *only* in your head? Without being a hallucination? Maybe you see and hear me, because while you were sleeping, I implanted a chip in your brain that transmits my image right into your conscious mind.
Baltar: No, no, see that's me again. My subconscious self is expressing irrational fears, which I must choose to ignore.
Six: (moving closer to him) What are you working on?
Baltar: If you were really a chip in my head, I wouldn't have to tell you, now would I?
Six: Indulge me.
Baltar: I'm trying to figure out how you managed to pull this kind of an attack. You virtually shut down the entire defense network without firing a shot. Entire squadrons lost power just as they engaged the enemy. The CMP's a navigation program, but you, uh, you made changes to the programs that you were building in, backdoors for your company to exploit later.
Six: All true, in a sense.
Baltar: That was your job.
Six: Officially. Unofficially, I had other motives. We had something, Gaius. Something... special.
Dr. Gaius Baltar: This is insane.
Six: And what I want most of all is for you to love me.
Baltar: Love you?
Six: Of course, Gaius. Don't you understand? God is love. (She goes to kiss him. He jerks awake.)
Baltar: [effeminately] No!

I have in the past made a few forgettable references to the 1960 "Inherit the Wind" but I have never before watched it
Thinking about it tonight because it's in the tv-listings for the PBS station in nearby Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Then I discovered it on Pluto TV On Demand
So I think I will watch it later tonight
Seems sort of funny they cast the actor Dick York
His face resembles a monkey so much that it's spooky.
So there's your proof.
Your low self-esteem won't let you accept that human's are primates and evolved from a common ancestor

I was about 12 years old
I went camping with Randy Cole and his dad sometimes
One time, on the river, in a canoe, at night, his dad and I were out checking the fishing-lines spanning the river
He was drunk, and I saw him do it deliberately, he overturned us into the river
He told me later I smelled bad
Next day he wanted me to go to the place in the river to dive below and find the lantern, other gear that ended on the river bottom
but I was frightened of dark places in the river, from alligators, snakes, etc, anything lurking there

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

This sounds very interesting. In my memory of taking Physics my Senior year at Ashdown, I remember being very interested in the class, but we didn’t cover such an interesting topic.

I think I even have memories of the graduate degree process. I am not sure of the terms to describe the process.
9/28/2006 7:47 PM
I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."
