No, I am definitely not happy.
"Happy" is a word I think I would have never used to describe my life.
My tongue feels thick. Unknown if my words would sound slurred.
The only point where I know when anything happened was May 10, 2006

Murray seeks $1 billion for VA
By Hal Bernton Seattle Times staff reporter
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray yesterday sent a letter to the White House asking President Bush to shore up a $1 billion shortfall in Department of Veterans Affairs health-care funding.
Murray, D-Wash., said the deficit could be addressed in an emergency-spending bill in the Senate in the days before the Fourth of July recess.
The shortfall for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, was disclosed by VA officials last week, prompting Murray to accuse the Bush administration of either "deliberate misdirection or gross incompetence." Yesterday, Murray held a rally outside the Puget Sound VA Health Care System hospital in Seattle

Starbuck's unplanned double-date with Cassiopeia and Athena on the recently-reopened luxury liner Rising Star is interrupted when the Galactica picks up long-range transmission traffic indicating human life in a distant solar system on the other side of a vast asteroid dust field. Starbuck is recalled to duty to pilot the Starchaser, an up-powered reconnaissance viper denuded of weaponry and bearing a voice-activated computer - Computer, Oral Response Activated, known simply as CORA - that can handle the vast increase in performance in the new viper. Starbuck is enthralled by the new viper, but less enthusiastic about CORA, who bears a personality that grates on Starbucks nerves.

The initial impetus came from publication of a letter of July 23, 1963, from Sir Bernard Lovell, Director of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, to Dr. Hugh Dryden, Deputy Administrator of NASA, in which Lovell reported the president of the USSR Academy of Sciences had told him “that the Academy believed that it was now appropriate to formulate on an international basis (a) the reasons why it is desirable to engage in the manned lunar enterprise and (b) to draw up a list of scientific tasks which a man on the moon could deal with which could not be solved by instruments alone.”

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.

and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

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."

Damn, my left shoulder has really started hurting the past hour or longer. It is something that is close to my shoulder, actually, but under the clavicle and the pain in on my back to, about where the shoulder blade would be. The pain is almost bad enough that I cannot really move my left arm, although it is not that bad. The feeling may be closer to a muscle spasm in the area of my left shoulder blade.

The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
(excerpts) THE EVE OF THE WAR
And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling, and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that generation after generation creeps upon them.
And before we judge of them too harshly we must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as the vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its own inferior races. The Tasmanians, in spite of their human likeness, were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space of fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?

The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
(excerpts)
A curious crowd lingered restlessly, people coming and going, but the crowd remaining, both on the Chobham and Horsell bridges. One or two adventurous souls, it was afterwards found, went into the darkness and crawled quite near the Martians; but they never returned, for now and again a light-ray, like the beam of a warship's searchlight, swept the common, and the Heat-Ray was ready to follow. Save for such, that big area of common was silent and desolate, and the charred bodies lay about on it all night under the stars, and all the next day. A noise of hammering from the pit was heard by many people.
So you have the state of things on Friday night. In the centre, sticking into the skin of our old planet Earth, like a poisoned dart, was this cylinder. But the poison was scarcely working yet. Around it was a patch of silent common, smouldering in places, and with a few dark, dimly seen objects lying in contorted attitudes here and there. Here and there was a burning bush or tree. Beyond was a fringe of excitement, and farther than that fringe the inflammation had not crept as yet. In the rest of the world the stream of life still flowed as it had flowed for immemorial years. The fever of war that would presently clog vein and artery, deaden nerve and destroy brain, had still to develop.
All night long the Martians were hammering and stirring, sleepless, indefatigable, at work upon the machines they were making ready

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
(from internet transcript)
CHEKOV: Sir! Airlock four has been opened. A thruster suit is reported missing!
KIRK: A thruster suit? That's Spock! Damn him! Bring him back here. ...No wait, ...get a fix on his position.
CHEKOV: Aye sir.
[Outside Enterprise]
(Spock fires the thruster suit and successfully passes through the opening orifice)
SPOCK: I have successfully penetrated the next chamber of the alien's Interior, and I am witnessing some sort of dimensional image which I believe to be a representation of V'Ger's home planet. I am passing through a connecting tunnel. Apparently a kind of plasma-energy conduit. Possibly a field coil for gigantic imaging systems. Curious. I am seeing images of planets, moons, stars, whole galaxies all stored in here, recorded. It could be a record of V'Ger's entire journey. But who, or what, are we dealing with? The Epsilon Nine station, stored here with every detail. Captain, I am now quite convinced that all of this is V'Ger. That we are inside a living machine. Ilia. The sensor ...must contain some special meaning. I must try to mind-meld with it. Aaaaarhh.
(Spock reappears outside the Enterprise, Kirk in a spacesuit retrieves him)
KIRK: Spock? ...Spock?
[Enterprise sickbay]
CHAPEL: Now scanning pons area. Spinal nerve fiber connection.
McCOY: Indications of some neurological trauma. The power pouring through that mind-meld must have been staggering.
SPOCK: Jim, ...I should have known.
KIRK: Were you right? About V'Ger?

As it turned out I chose the route that was just about the shortest possible route to walk back to the only point – in a direction getting me away from St. Francis as quickly as possible – within miles that was the only place I recognized from previous experience.
Sometime months before I was taken to St. Francis I had been out driving around in my Jeep and I stopped at a place for lunch and I recently looked that up on the map and I see in the image it is named Monster Burger. I remember that because they had very good hamburgers there.
Well, that is precisely the point I walked to.

Identification (literature)
From Wikipedia
Identification refers to the automatic, subconscious psychological process in which an individual becomes like or closely associates themselves with another person by adopting one or more of the others' perceived personality traits, physical attributes, or some other aspect of their identity. The concept of identification was founded by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in the 1920’s, and has since been expanded on and applied in psychology, social studies, media studies, and literary and film criticism. In literature, identification most often refers to the audience identifying with a fictional character, however it can also be employed as a narrative device whereby one character identifies with another character within the text itself.

by me, Kerry Burgess, 04/29/2025 11:57 PM
It's that damn pillow.
This stupid desk isn't helping.
Recently, started sleeping in my bed with my head on a new pillow. It's causing me problems, starting a couple days ago. Scary problems.
Only reason I am making this note is because of "Dark Matter", that series on AppleTV adapted from the novel of the same name by Blake Crouch.
This campaign of mine has reached a very puzzling stage and I am guessing this is why it all started in the very first place: because of what I now discover
So, there is a large chasm between where I am now and where I want to be, preferably where I want to be beginning today
To cross the chasm, I need to define what exists in the chasm.
You monkeys out there cannot see past you own pathetic wishful-thinking. So you accept the possibility of "magic". Because you are a dim-wit. You are a dim-with and you think you have "film" on your iPhone. You're an Idiocracy moron that thinks A.I. is a real thing and not just what it is: a gimmick marketed at you because you're ignorant enough to think that streaming-video and television are the same thing. You cannot think for yourself and you believe anything you hear in a podcast.
So, I am stuck at a point where I do not accept stuff will just magically appear around me.
I think it will happen only if I have a rational procedure I am following.
Because if I accept that "magic" is real then whatever control I have over my new reality is no control at all and if I have learned anything from "Dark Matter" then it's that I don't want to be there.
Just because I think "magic" is stupid does not mean I am unimaginative.
I am completely imaginative.
*I* have made it this far.
*You* do not have even the first clue what any of this means.
*You* would have never figured out any of this on your own.
So, the chasm.
The chasm is an obstacle.
On one side, where I am now.
On the other side, a place where I can make pizza appear from nothing before and in a device that constructs fresh, edible pizza that is always 100% nutritious and that literally rejuvenates me.
I don't want to imagine that I see bugs crawling around inside it because it's something humans have never before experienced in a million years of evolution and it is making me neurotic because it is too good to be true.
So, if something like that appeared before me right now here in my apartment, would I accept that? Or would it begin causing serious mental-problems for me? Would my sense of reality begin to break down and then prevent me from consuming my pizza and existing in this reality as a normal person?
People *say* they believe in magic, but they really do not. They just want something to escape from their pathetic, meaningless lives and that's how they escape for a few moments. To delude themselves into imagining that magic is real.
It is not. You're pathetic. That's the only part that's real.
Recently, I wondered: why are these observations happening only with certain things and not other things?
It all seems to be happening with things at a distance.
So, this pillow. That's about as close at it gets.
So, today, the thought finally occurs to me: it's the pillow.
Today is 04/29/2025.

Apollo 17
From Wikipedia
Apollo 17 (December 7–19, 1972) was the eleventh and final mission of NASA's Apollo program, the sixth and most recent time humans have set foot on the Moon.
At 6:35 p.m. EST on December 16, the CSM's SPS engine was ignited once more to propel the spacecraft away from the Moon on a trajectory back towards Earth. The trans-Earth injection SPS burn lasted just over two minutes.
During the return to Earth, Evans performed a 65-minute EVA to retrieve film cassettes from the service module's SIM bay, with assistance from Schmitt who remained at the command module's hatch. At approximately 160,000 nautical miles (184,000 mi; 296,000 km) from Earth, it was the third "deep space" EVA in history, performed at great distance from any planetary body. As of 2025, it remains one of only three such EVAs, all performed during Apollo's J-missions under similar circumstances. It was the last EVA of the Apollo program.

FORD: Did you do that?
SHEPPARD: I-I was just wondering where we go from here.
FORD: I'll take that as a yes. So how do we find them once we land?
SHEPPARD: Well I've been thinking about that too ... (On the wall beside him, a panel opens to reveal a small hand-sized device with a screen on it. He takes the device off the wall, looks at it and then puts it into his jacket pocket.) Now I'm thinking about a nice turkey sandwich.
