Spilt the Road

I had a lot to share but couldn't get it out. I'm enjoying the conversation without the need to shout. I look left, to trudge ahead to the end. I look right, there might be a party at the end of the light. I'm terrible at decision making, or taking or faking. It's frustrating.

Raining Blood

Some say when it rains it pours, what a cheap cop-out

In my world when it rains it rains in BLOOD!!!

My world may be cursed and I believe evil exists because this much shit cannot go wrong at any given moment at such a constant rate all the time. 

Life is what it is, listen to Slayer!!!

A one stone birthday

 Birthdays are important, always celebrate birthdays. Some years are harder than others, the older you get as they say. 

Feeling a spot of ill health, its not my birthday but the gift of pestilence makes the cake taste weird

From High, From Low

 The day starts great, positive, happy; then the wall hits. 

Nobody wants unpleasant news before the day gets started but that's the way it is. More work, more effort, more input, more-more-more...

Resolve?

Crank volume past 11, MOSH PIT!!!

Cancelled

 I oppose the cancel culture

Millenial, Gen-Z, social vultures

A generation that cannot read is a generation that cannot lead

The are bullies, bullies get cancelled

Smartphone nation without imagination

Please don't eat the Tide.

Throw Backs

 Grateful to still have public radio broadcasting. I appreciate the throw back classics, today it was Tupac. The 90s were as strange as any decade but crammed between all the Rock / Metal was the hip hop sounds of high school, Eminem was still working his debut album.

Shut it down

 As an institution we have reached a point, an end point. How you interpret it as you interpret it. I've been around longer than current technology, I've watched it grow and spread and impact life as we know. Now I'm watching it die. My dissociation from social media, the dislike of what digital living is, influenced my decision to shut it all down. Our institution remains underground influence, that meaning our digital channels have reverted back to the basic tool structures we started with. We are the masters of the universe, not the machine. Smart devices are no greater tools than say a stick with a sharpened tip. With declaration our intent is what it has always been only without the instant digital gratification. We'll put it out there, it's for you to go find it.

Actual conversation, with a person

Person: Good morning sir

Me: Hello

Person: I'm calling on behalf of your mobile service provider, your account is due for an upgrade

Me: I am aware

Person: Our current offer includes a new smart phone, is your current smart phone still satisfactorily operational?

Me: Yes it is

Person: Can I process your upgrade?

Me: No thanks, I'm satisfied with my current device

Person: But sir it comes with new features...

Me: I don't need a new device, thanks all the same

(A moment of silence)

Person: OK, thank you for your time sir, goodbye

Me: Bye

So, why the moment of silence?

Did I break the matrix with my defiant  declaration opposing new technology?

Pictures, 50 words a piece

 The Millenial trend is pictures for everything, priceless they are not. I can send you all the pictures you want but if you can't process simple images without confusion then try the "red crayon filter" on your phone, that's sarcasm and there isn't an app for that.

Thou Shalt Not Steal Company Hardware

While upgrading six  PC machines at business client, three are missing RAM, one missing HDD. I spoke to the in-house IT manager about it. The staff are light fingered, training room, where I was working, was used as temporary canteen during lockdown, PCs weren’t packed away timeous. No cameras in training room, light finger larceny is not company policy

Sweet, short and to the point

 So much to say, such short attention spans to say it to, so I'll be direct. We live in mad world 2021, the last age of man thanks to Millenial Gens, so I'm calling them out for ruining things. 50 words of brutal truth, no red crayon required.
