Expectations

Whenever I feel others are not living up to my expectations,


I immediately review my expectations to see if they are still applicable.

TMI Tuesday: December 6, 2016

TMI Tuesday: December 6, 2016

This time of year is full of family and reflection. Let’s carry that on through to TMI Tuesday, shall we?

Family & Reflection

family_tmi
1. What story does your family always tell about you?
While I was driving in heavy traffic in the family mini van ex wife pulled sun visor down in front of my eyes because the sun was in hers. "What. Am I supposed to use the force to drive?" I asked. The peanut gallery in the back thought it was hilarious. The ex didn't.
2. At what age did you become an adult?
Not yet.

3. What is the most embarrassing thing you know about your parents?
I was my fathers fiftieth birthday present from my forty year old mother. Boy were they ever surprised. I think that was the last time they did that.

4. This year, what is the mot important life lesson you’ve learned?
With all the hours spent dumbing down advertising to the lowest possible denominator for the American public, we clearly did not spend enough time.

5. Describe your childhood self in 5 words. Were you happy?
Very silly solitary Commander Cody. I was as happy as any one could be with imaginary rockets strapped on my back and a bullet shaped helmet on my head.

6. Who in your family has been kindest to you?
My sister.
Bonus:  Who are you closest to or trust the most– a friend or family member?

The force. It's always with me.

TMI Tuesday posted, during wee hours of the morning.

1. What shoes would  you like  to fill today?
Back when this movie was made, and my girlfriend of the time not only dressed like this but kind of looked like this; I didn't fill those shoes but often spread those shoes with her feet still in them while they hovered over my back and butt for extended periods of time in her parents basement. Some of the few times my youth was not wasted on the young me. I still do not want to fill those shoes today, but smile broadly from the recollections.

2. What is the next big dollar purchase you are planning to make?

I do not plan to create any more jobs by purchasing any big ticket items for at least the next four years. I vote with my wallet and do not wish to encourage bad voter behavior. I will purchase only what I need . No more. No less.

3. You have $100,000 to spend on friends. How would you spend it?

Rent a Villa in an emerging market country that has low invasion prospects and entertain my house guests lavishly.

4. You have $5,000 to spend on your significant  other. How would  you spend it?

On experiences. Not consumer items. Ladies choice of course which as we know changes early and often. Perhaps a surprise bauble or trinket for good measure.

5. What is your favorite waste of time ?

Watching what is now billed as Televisions New Golden Age. Long term commitment, plot driven, high budget television shows brought to you by people that want to sell you things you don't need, spending money you don't have, to impress people you don't like.
Bonus: Tell us about the most mischievous  thing you did as a kid.

Played "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" with the girl who lived across the street from me. If only I knew how my interest would blossom as she did blossomed only a few years later; I would have acted more impressed.

Burping The Antichrist - 1. Undoomed

If a doctor makes a recommendation in the forest and only I am there, has that recommendation been made?

So call me a skeptic, but after a lifetime of avoiding and not feeling a need for fixing what is working, the only things that were broken were the things I went in to have remedied. That has been done and have no correlation to any other remedy offered. Of course the outrage of not being on a plethora of preventive salves, solvents, and high dollar potions caused a ripple in the research which could only be remedied by a barrage of high cost, low effect pharma.

But who can afford that shit. Nothing market place when the market place will not  bear such prices. A billion burgers would not have been served if their price was $35.95 since 1962. The scourge of Golden Arches across the globe would have been suffocated in it's baby birthing bun.

As I slowly ween myself off Big Pharma's preventative crack I realized once more that everything is OK until it isn't.

Meanwhile I shall chalk it up to very expensive pee that has passed under the bridge.

I and the world around me shall be the better for it.

Now back to the long awaited transacting of commerce.

I'm Doomed - 4. Cascade

As all ecosystems cascade and collapse into decay, so does a body's. Tomorrow an attempt to buttress and contain one such system shall be attempted through the Pharma Narco Medical Industrial Complex upon my person.

I salute all who have endured previous medical transactions like mine and those who follow on tables to come.

I'm Doomed - 2. Honoré de Balzac

Upon further review, mercury has risen through the roof. Many of my treat types of HTL, HTC, Hot LC are in my blood and I border on the sugar blues.

More Narco Pharmo Mojo is indicated.

But wurst of all (sausage reference intended):

Many unspeakable things have found their was into my balzac. We are not talking HonorĂ© de here.

Plus I have to ask my doctor if I can have nookie.

You would think since she palpitated my HonorĂ© de Balzac doppelganger on our first meeting, asking would be a snap.

But it ain't.

Petey's Stoopid Thought for the Day

      I can turn easy things into rocket science in my mind just like that. ( I snap my fingers and everybody on the train looks at me like I am crazy.)

Petey's Stoopid Thought for the Day



  A woman I know posted a status on Facebook about married men sniffing around her “hooch”. Not being married and having had a passing interest in that “hooch” over the years I have known her  I almost felt it would be acceptable to inquire just how that “hooch” is these days.

Should I or shouldn't I?

The Cold War-Era Bunkers That Cover Albania

The Cold War-Era Bunkers That Cover Albania:

Paranoia, the only real job creator. At least it gave Albanian construction workers work during the cold war era.

Now go and be scared of something so we can sell you something that we have convinced you will keep you safe. Cha Ching $$$$$.

Processed Meat Linked to Early Death - The Daily Beast

Processed Meat Linked to Early Death - The Daily Beast:

Many things are just the luck of the draw. Genes, wealth, right place right time, and wrong place wrong time.  But who could make money telling you how to live and what you are doing wrong if we all subscribed to that. At best we can just improve our odds if we are lucky enough to follow the right advice for us at the right time for us. Still a crap shoot though.

Like a Swarm of Lethal Bugs:

Like a Swarm of Lethal Bugs: The Most Terrifying Drone Video Yet - The Atlantic

Paid for by the tax payer, ostensibly to protect the tax payer, eventually turned loose on the tax payer to protect the landed gentry from the tax payer.

So has it been. So shall it ever be.

It's About Time

Mitch McConnell On Obama Inauguration Speech: 'The Era Of Liberalism Is Back':

We have suffered the consequences of Ronald Reagan and his ilk long enough. The Reagan /Bush's credit card bills have come due and only "We" the people can pay them off and right the ship of state. So stop your Mitching and get out of the way
