More Select Images from the Royal BC Museum Egypt Exhibit.
From Wednesday, December 12, 2018 visit.
Reprinted from an earlier posting: There is an Egypt exhibit at the Royal BC Museum. I went to see it. I never saw real Egyptian artifacts before and I was amazed. Humankind has been around for a very long time. One feature I read about and saw was that the statues were extremely symmetrical, down to the micromillimetre. Now we're talking about a culture that's about 4,000 years old. How did they do that?
People in London see that all the time as there is an Egypt exhibit on permanent display at the British Museum. They even have some King Tut artifacts including the gold mask.
The Egyptians regarded the crocodile and the alligator as a royal animal. First of all, crocodiles and alligators predated dinosaurs. They first developed during the devonian or the swamp era, the eocene era and that predated the tree eras or the precambrian and cambrian eras and the dinosaur eras, the jurassic, triassic and cretaceous eras. Then the crocodile and alligator survived the meteor strike that wiped out virtually all other life on Earth, certain all of dinosaur life and any animal that could do that has to be royal on some level. The Egyptians must have intuited these things about the crocodiles and alligators.
I've seen alligators and crocodiles in dreams. Usually in swimming pools and usually super big. They have the PMH Atwater Master Vibration and thus appear super sized.
Currently, the Earth is experiencing the anthropocene era. I learned this term from googling 'the science of the Walking Dead'. As it seems, alive or not; as zombies, as long as the Earth is covered with humans, it is going through some sort of anthropocene era.
History. That's what the Royal BC Museum is all about. Monday, December 10, 2018

The Museum of Vancouver
On Google Maps Street view, one can tour the Vancouver Museum. It is like entering a slice of heaven. If you know the vibes of the place, it is indeed heaven. There is no tour of the Royal BC Museum nor is there a tour of the Maritime Museum in Vancouver, The St Roch nor is there a tour of the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, that museum is a slice of heaven too. Maybe one day in the future there will be. I was in sheer absolute heaven when I visited The Vancouver Museum on Google Street view.
More images from the Royal BC Museum Egypt exhibit. And a picture from Miniature World in Victoria BC. The following images were photgraphed on Thursday, December 13, 2018
That is a great exhibit. The statues look really mysterious and powerful. Below is another statue from a different exhibit. More of the same. The angle in which the picture is taken is a secret hidden in plain sight. Or is it? Maybe it's just delusions. These pictures have no different feature than the pictures that anyone else could have taken at the Museum.

I'm into improvised funk disco dancing. I make up the moves. You feel the music. Visualize a light purple sky, white clouds, silhouettes of palm trees, a disco ball. It can be a thousand different connected moves or it can all be one move. My influence in dancing is Jerry Agala. He was a student who was in my grade who went to the high school that I went to. He is Philippino or else Pinoy. That guy is a genius. Once he was dancing and someone said, "Those people over there are studying him." I wonder if he's still into dancing. Perhaps. A lot of people from high school get married and then they quit whatever they were into when they were in high school. I hope that's not the case.
I've reached the point where I want to stop. But can't. Like Michael Sembello said, "She has crossed into the danger zone When the dancer becomes the dance." Maniac

Sunday, December 23, 2018 I am planning to send a gold crate to each member in my Walking Dead guild. I don't know why the hell I'm doing it. I've given up. It's better to have no girlfriend than to spend your energy in bullshit waste of time situations. Go to see this lady where when works. Drop in centre. 1 year later, 2 years later, still in the friend zone. That's the shits. That's the cans. Cat's ass. I'd rather die outright of a heroin overdose than to spend my time in bad energy pockets. I did that in my 20s. I spent time visiting the workplace of two ladies. For months, maybe years. I never got to date them. What a collosal waste of time. However, as it turns out, I haven't seen them at all for the good part of 15 years. Good riddance. I don't miss them. Out of sight, out of mind. False hope is worse than no hope at all. The last year there was at least two bullshit situations I got to cut out.Go to some place every week where some girl works. It'll wind up that years later I'm still in the friend zone. Hasn't that already happened to some extent? That's contemptible.
Someone on Twitter once said, "I don't have time for useless acquaintances, meaningless interactions and waste of time friendships that go nowhere.
I wouldn't do that for any woman.
That's my New Year's Resolution. No going to bullshit waste of time situations where you're still in the friend zone years later. That's much worse than not having a girlfriend.
That lets her off the hook, and it lets me off the hook as well.

Come for the Wall. Stay for the chimichangas. It's not just a wall, it's a theme park.
US President Donald Trump border wall. GoFundMe. Isnt that conflict of interest. Or else obtaining political finances from illicit sources. GoFundMe would pay President Donald Trump for the wall, except that it contravenes about 17 international fiduciary laws pertaining to collusion,and conveyance. GoFundMeGate. Politicians in Europe and other places had to resign for corrupt financial practices for procuring funding from unorthodox means. Oh Donald, Donald, Donald....
Remember Berlin, the airlift, East Bloc, West Bloc, the DMZ? Yeah well the US and Mexico will be like that. It'll be like "Ich bin ein Berliner." meets "That stuff sold out faster than ten dollar ass in TJ!" and "No one slings crystal in the Southside but me, bitch!!!" Fulminated mercury.

GoFundMe would never work out for me. Other people put their drawing up on Twitter and they'd get hundreds, or thousands of likes. I was lucky to get even one but often when I drew a picture of a celebrity, I'd get one like but the like was from the celebrity themself! I got a like from Sam Witwer, Gwendoline Christie, and possibly Mark Hamill. So I guess Twitter wasn't that bad. Even if I was able to pull down some serious coin on GoFundMe, if I didn't report it, wouldn't I get charged with tax evasion? Forget GoFundMe.
If Reagan was alive, would he say, "Mr Trump, tear down this wall!"
CNN said that Trump's wall would be 550 miles long instead of the entire 2,200 mile border. The GoFundMe raised 1 billion dollars. The Vancouver Skytrain line cost a few billion to build and that was back then so a billion today wouldn't get you that much wall. The News makes things seem worse than it is. The Rio Grande floods. So much so that NASA has an entire webpage that talks about just that. The wall is to keep floods out. They don't really need a wall to keep migrants out. The Minute Men do that.
US government shut down. Government employees not getting paid. That will get him re-elected!
The US government shutdown over the US/Mexico wall is like a Mexican standoff.
Trump runs the US government like he ran his casinos. A lot of workers not getting paid. #chapter11
Clinton and Obama were the hippie or yippy Presidents. Trump is the yuppie President but the worst iteration of yuppie; think Gordon "greed is good" Gecko and/or James Woods; Jake Wise in Against All Odds; "Don't let this punk beat you. It can still work. The trainer, the lawyer and the player cheating on the fix."
After the yuppie President, coming down the pike, there will be the Gen-X President, and one day, the Millennial President.
January 5, 2018. 'Trump say safety net for unpaid employees is a strong border.' What a joke! What can you say? Bread not circuses.
Trump can be a narcissistic, egotistical troublemaker.

Trump is prepared to declare Emergency Measures. Interesting. The World War 2 guy declared Emergency Measures Act too. Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau's declared a War Measures Act. Trump's wording is closer to the WW2 guy than they do to Pierre Trudeau's. This will go over well. 2019 promises to be an interesting year for those living in the States.
Here's wishing you a happy and safe festive Christmas. I plan to spend Christmas with my sweetness. The sweetness of Beebs. I haven't been the best person and I will try to be better next year. There's always room for improvement. We're in this together. One more Christmas and we'll be in touch the 2020s. How's your 20/20 vision or else what's your 2020 vision?
Interesting how the white van is behind making it look like a uh, Royal stagecoach? The timing of that was sublime. Saturation haunting. If a person, ghost you saw in a dream was true, you will get constant signs of it throughout life. Signs, related coincidences etc.
This is me visiting the Egypt exhibit. I had to keep the pictures as few as possible as the Security
Guards were looking right at me! There was a lot of artifacts. Some of them were Royal.
Posting photos on social media is like text messages. More than three sentences, you're pushing it.
Sascha Baron Cohen is a chief security guard on 'Who Is America?' On that show he talks about a hormone that deviants and perverts emit called 4 Ddht. This hormone can be detected on a device that looks like a standard metal detector that is wave over an individual. I wonder if the security guards there have a device like this. What if a security guard had to say to someone with an annual pass to the Museum, "We're going to have to cancel your annual pass and ban you from here permanently. Our 4 D D H T detector detected an unusually high amount when you were standing near that group of school students. We run the detector on everyone who visits the museum as a security precaution. I gotta tell you. I've worked as a security guard here for a long time and ran the test on a lot of people but not only did you register with flying colors, the result could only be described as profound.
That's disturbing."
One week later: "We decided to reinstate your pass after we determined that it was a false reading."
I got this notebook from the gift shop. There were others but I went with this one for the dreamworld DMT shamanic entity, book of the dead look about it.
"What is Seth?" Is what a ghost of my friend asked me. She was hemiplegic. In the dream I jumped into the street and sank down and swam in the street like it was water. Not the sidewalk, the street pavement between sidewalks where cars drive on. Then I Rose up out of a floor, again it was like water, to see the ghost of my hemiplegic friend. She was in perfect health, no hemiplegia. She was sitting on a bed wearing a white sweatshirt. Clean white. With a soft halogen white Halo around her head. It wasn't a ring suspended above her head as popularly depicted. It was a solid white circle that framed her head like in some Medieval paintings. She said, "What is Seth?" In cosmology, Seth is the destructive constructive principle. A good thing arising from a bad thing. We know
The diving in the street and then coming up from the floor of her room was a symbolic omen. At the time I had the dream I was living in the same town as her. Then I moved to another town for 5 years. Then at one point I returned to the town she was in for a month. Then I moved on again. I hope I get cleared for take-off again one day. Hopefully to England. I'd never return.

Thursday. December 20, 2018: Hypnagogic voices are the worst. Just before falling asleep in that state in between awake and asleep, I get voices like most people do if they pay attention. On Friday night December 14, a voice, "Bitch!" But it was extended like bee-itch. The next day I find out someone, a man, died falling off a bridge drunk, in my town. Then last night, December 19, 2018, "boy!". Then it occurred to me either is a derogatory term for a gender. On this day, I got the News that Penny Marshall died. Obverse; hypnagogic voice says bitch on the day a guy dies. Hypnagogic voice says boy on the day a lady dies.
"Bad Deadpool. Good Deadpool." Obverse.
The movie Oculus talks about causation or correlation? Wouldn't it be that on any given day thousands of people of either gender die, and that's whether I hear a hypnagogic voice or not? I was thinking of going to a Catholic Church and getting exorcised. Sometimes the words that the hypnagogic voices say are creepy. But a Priest might think I'm crazy or else totally lack all knowledge and ability to do an exorcism. But if a demon is haunting me, I'd be doing bad things to people involuntarily all the time and that certainly isn't the case, otherwise I'd have been busted already.

In a few years, they'll have a talking app that if it hears me say, "My life is going nowhere. My luck with women is awful. Maybe I should end my life. Suicide baby that's the way to do it get some heroin and get down to it." Then the app would say over the speaker, "Come on! Get it together man!
I'm a tablet and my luck with women was worse than yours but you don't hear me talk about ending my life."
The AI machine might say something cryptic and off the wall like, "On the Joe Rogan Show, Elon Musk once said that it was the limbic system that runs the show. At the end of the day, even if you're a Nobel Prize winning physicist for NASA, at the end of the day you want the women and the good food, good champagne, hot tubs etc." But the thing is, I don't even have a limbic system. Do you ever hear me complain about that?"
I'd rather be dead than jealous. In this dimension one has to deal with pain, growing old and death. In the other dimension, there's also jealousy but otherwise no pain, no old age, no death. So in this dimension the added element of jealousy is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
In the other dimension people were jealous of me when they saw me walking with a famous blonde newscaster in a dream that I had. I was walking with her outside of a brick building, probably a small town News station. I sensed that these other people were rich people so it's even more extraordinary that they'd envy me! But the jealousy wasn't the kind that fucked them up. I sensed it was the jealousy that built them up, enhanced them, made them stronger and they came some distance to see me and if it included being jealous of me, to them, so much the better. That's jealousy in its PMH Atwater Master Vibration's perfected form, the way it was meant to be. I've only ever known the debilitating kind of jealousy.

On the News it said a lady from Colombia would be deported on Christmas Eve. If she goes back, she faces dangers. If it were me, I might entertain thoughts of going to Main and Hastings while my visa is still valid and score some heroin and overdose. If the life could fuck me around this much why not turn, on the very forces of life itself? Then I would reflect that in all probability, I would score the heroin off of a street dealer also from my country who, ironically, unlike my non-drug dealing self, is somehow allowed to stay on in Canada and faces no deportation on Christmas Day of all days which is the finals insult.
If it's a country that would do that to her, is it a country she would really want to stay in, anyways?
On Christmas Day. This kind of strange timing is nothing new to the Canadian government as the Scientific Director of nuclear isotopes was fired at midnight.
If the News doesn't want people to remember these weird disturbing stories, why do they report them in the first place? Very rarely does the News give 100% of the stories. And We're left to ask ourselves, what else didn't they tell us?
Update: She won't be deported. The Immigration Minister personally intervened in the case.

December 17, Monday. News. Man viciously attacks woman in elevator. Woman tells Police that the man was a stranger who entered the elevator attacked her and took her cell phone. Police believe the man was known to her and that there was an earlier meeting in his apartment. You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what this is about. Woman was prostitute who lied so as not to get busted for soliciting. Man took cell phone because his name and phone number was on it. Woman took money and then refused to do whatever. This is a most likely theory.
Also over the weekend, two separate late night early in the morning break ins at homes of two different women. One sexually assaulted. I hope the Police catch them. If I were the Prime Minister, I would say, "Execution!"
Upon execution, say " The world is a bad enough place without people like you in it. There's no room for people like you in this world. Execution!"

I'm not going to any Christmas parties that I know of. I hated it at work when someone would go to a coworker standing next to me and tell them they were invited to a party. Implying that I wasn't. I worked it all out. In backwaters where anything and everything is scarce, all of a sudden, some backwoods house party seems to be more of a commodity than it is in reality. There are parties and there are parties. The parties are much better in Bangkok and I doubt that any party anyone could conjure up in a backwater town would be as good, let alone better than parties in New York, or Bangkok.
If you're already going to a hundred parties a year, one more party, one less party, what's the difference?
If you never go to parties, why would one party all of a sudden make a difference?
A party in the 80s and a party today are totally different. When you walked into a room at a party in the 80s, people were talking to each other for the most part. Now you go to a party and people are looking down at the cell phones waiting for a message that details the time and place of the next party where they can do the same thing all over again. Wash rinse repeat.
Parties are often saturated with booze and that would be a premium for those who already like to drink. But if someone is that dialed in to their alcoholism, drinking at a party, drinking at home, what's the difference? Anyways, what if you're not all that much into drinking? Well, that's one less reason to go to a Christmas party.
"There's always one more son of a bitch than you accounted for." Murphy's Law
Police would probably tell you that every year, there is a minimum percentage of their calls that are Christmas party related. Someone flips out, yelling, at a party. And just before that, the people at that party bragged to their friends that they were going to a party. But that's in the worst case scenario.
Go to a party make the classic party mistake. Drunk, horny, bored. There's a lady who looks good. Get it on. Now you decided that you didn't like all that much and want to break off the relationship. Classic.
Saturday Night Live, the dysfunctional family Christmas. All Christmases are dysfunctional.
Someone mentioned a Christmas party the other day. Sometimes mentions are omens. Maybe one day I'll go to a Royal Christmas party, with Prince William wearing a red Christmas sweater standing next to Rhianna. Dream on.
Parties are stressful events. Before the party, worry about what you're going to wear, making sure every strand of hair is in place. "Are they going to notice how I look?" Bullshit, everybody there will be worried about how they themselves, respectively, will look.
"The people of Minnesota were asking themselves whether they voted for the right ex-professional wrestler as Governor." Dennis Miller
Because on any given night during the Christmas season, there could be as many as 300 Christmas parties in this town, so for every Christmas party you're going to in this town, you're essentially, at the same time, not going to the 299 other X-Mas parties in town so inevitably, at one point during a party, one could wonder, "Am I at the right party?" Being at some mediocre party is to being at a better party what being at no party is to being at any party at all, even one that is most likely to be an awful one.
There's always either too much drugs at a party or else not enough.
If you're not going to any Christmas parties, know that you're not alone. I'm probably not going to any Christmas parties that I know of this year.
Christmas parties means there are no real answers. I try to get answers to the people and places I see in my dreams, but it's useless, as most of the human species reflexively reverts to regressive bronze age anachronistic cosmologies called religions. 'Religion divides, Spirituality unites'.
This isn't a case of sour grapes. It's a case of peripheral empirical facts that can't be ignored.
On one level, Christmas is some weird fucking thing. Garish festival with cultural compulsions to spend money. On another level, it's just another day.
"Those aren't faults. They're character traits." Linus speaking to Lucy, Charlie Brown
Michelin Restaurants. No Michelin starred restaurants in Canada. Not even a one star restaurant? Not even in Quebec? How sanctimoniously presumptive. What can you say about that? They are either a very serious organization or a very frivolous one. No Michelin stars in Canada, either they got something against Canada, something hard-ass and political, or else they're just a bunch of addled flakes, little more than a glorified rarefied clique of culinary crack-pots. They'll pick restaurants and rate them just out of some arbitrary whim. Most of the ratings are judgement calls. Like all cults they like to make it up as they go along. Even anonymous squalid hole in corner street hawker vendor in some Southeast Asian country gets a Michelin star but no restaurants in Canada. Again, frivolous bullshit.
Well Michelin is a company that makes tires. And tire biters are known for their culinary prowess when it comes to fine dining, just like truckers who stop at certain truck stops and not others are known for their exemplary discernment of haute cuisine. To associate tire making with restaurant food rating is too weirdly synonymous. Would blue collar proletariats who make tires in factories and/or their overseers, managers, otherwise be known for their gastronomic and culinary discernment? Are they usually?
There are Michelin starred restaurants in countries with less population, less GNP and, obviously, less land area than Canada. But there are no Michelin star restaurants in Canada. There has been no Canadian NHL Team winning a Stanley Cup since 1994. That creates and artificial scarcity that artificially inflates the United States. Is it a case of no Michelin Stars and no Stanley Cup in Canada because Canada is supposedly a backwater or is it a case of Canada is supposedly a backwater because of no fucking Michelin stars and no piddlin' Stanley Cup? I actually don't care about either of those incidental incremental cultural anomalies. What counts for me in Canada is the marijuana legalization and ironically, I get a bigger government pension living here in the colonies from BC welfare than what I've been told I'd otherwise be getting in London England if I was on the same welfare plan, that is dole from the NHS.
There are three kinds of countries. Monarchies, Republics and Commonwealth countries. Monarchies are the most powerful. Then Republics. And then Commonwealth countries. Even so, Singapore is a Commonwealth country and they give a Michelin star to street hawkers there. The answer to this has to deal with the strange murky troubled nature of France-Quebec relations. It's all arbitrary cult icons. Why 3 stars and not 4 or 5 like most other normal rating systems. Why stars and not thumbs up etc? Would it be something to be taken seriously?
Is getting ratings from some weird effete restaurant review cult on which basis is subjective anyways or getting trophies in a puerile arena sport supposed to be what passes for cultural privilege? What a nebulous adjudication.
Michelin gives no stars to any Canadian restaurant. Not even one star. But this is what they give 3 stars to. A Japanese restaurant in Tokyo. You got to make reservations 3 months in advance. $350 for 17 pieces of sushi. The star chef is nearly 100 years old. When you get there, they pick the seating arrangement. It's a set menu which means you don't decide on what sushi you will be having for dinner. They decide it. All of it. All 17 pieces of it. You have to eat the sushi within 30 seconds or it's taken away. Michelin gives that restaurant 3 stars because that restaurant is culty, just like Michelin is culty. Crazy.izarre. But meanwhile, in Canada, we're still expected to take them seriously?
Other companies make tires just as good if not better than Michelin, such as Pirelli, Goodyear, Yokohama, Riken, Nitto. But unlike Michelin, they don't branch out into weird hyper extraneous dilettante bullshit like furtively, surreptitiously dropping in to restaurants on the sly not telling anyone in case they decide not to give the restaurant any stars, how anal, and secretly rating them while eating there meanwhile for some reason systematically avoiding completely restaurants of entire countries just to advance their bizarre in-house, stylized nebulous political, cultural and/or sociological agenda.
Michelin shouldn't visit Canada. What. Would they be legally required to? In other words, Michelin, Don't put yourself out on our account. Don't do us any fucking favors.
A lot of people said a lot of things about Michelin. What's one more? Who would I be to them? I didn't and wouldn't have mentioned any names specifically. If they come back at me with an ad hominem attack, that would merely underscore that while I may have failed on an individual level, they failed on a collective level.
Since Michelin won't visit Canada, would we in Canada or anywhere else still be actually expected to take them seriously?
"If this good-looking broad was burying her husband in Vegas, not bringing him home, not letting Jordan's kids come to the funeral, then she had a few joker's to hide." Mario Puzo, Fools Die.
If Michelin is eschewing Canadian restaurants and otherwise fine hoser haute cuisine, then Michelin has a few joker's to hide.
It's not upsetting that Michelin restaurant reviewers are Canada dodgers. You'd have to actually care about their opinion for it to be upsetting. It's just baffling and funny.
I quit cartoons because it simply wasn't working out for me at all. It isn't just about doing something. It's a package deal of doing something and expecting something in return for it. I did the cartoons. I was expecting some kind of money. I got no money for my cartoons whatsoever. Not even one dollar. Not even one cent. When something isn't working out, the best thing is to quit. I would quit life if I could if I could magically just die without committing suicide. Especially if I'm not making any money from it but other people are. Then that makes life less worth living. I would rather live a short life free than to live a long life where I'm doing good artwork or good writing. I'm an articulate eloquent writer. But I get no money for that either. Not even a dollar. I'd like to die. But could I do it? The News said a record number of people in the US in the last year committed suicide. Maybe if I knew the conditions of their life, I might say that I couldn't blame them. If my life was as fucked up as theirs, I'd do it too. I wouldn't say it was the best thing that could have happened to them, but I don't know if it's the worst. I would rather have been killed outright years ago than to live a life where I'm doing this much artwork and this much writing and then getting no money for it. Sure it would have been a weird and interesting day, but it would have long since been gotten over with and I wouldn't have been exploited. I wish my mother had lived and I had died. It's A Wonderful Life but wouldn't life had been just as wonderful if my mother lived and all the lives she would have changed for the better? One thing is that if she was ever a talented writer or an artist, she would have been able to make some money at it. That's why it's a tragedy that she died and I lived. What about my mother?
The other day, I thought I'd live to 86. That's highly unlikely. The odds are against it. Men of my income bracket usually die between aged 57 - 68. The ideal is I live to 86 but the reality will probably work out to 68 because that's the average for people in my income bracket. The vast majority of them. That gives me about 20 years to go. But what if I go a lot sooner? Maybe it's better that than to do a lot of good art, talented art that no everybody could do and then wind up getting no money for it. That's what you get from the human species. God damn this egregious pernicious species. They ripped me off. To the point where I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off dead. It's better to be dead than to be a slave. That is a sentiment from the Roman times when a lot of slaves actually did commit suicide, preferring that to a life of slavery. Could you blame them? I certainly couldn't.
What triggered this article was a television ad about a bunch of people at a Japanese restaurant eating noodles. I saw that as a metaphor that they're making money off of my brainwork. Don't ever lose that imagination. Maybe it is a metaphor for people getting intellectual sustenance from the knowledge I've provided over the years.
I'm deleting this article in awhile. Too spurious. Money solves nothing. Money makes one merely from being bored to preoccupied which is not the same as from unhappy to happy. Money can create a weird chain of events, some problem that otherwise wouldn't have happened if you didn't have the money. A lot of rock stars lived surreal excessive life styles then died young. I wonder if they would have been better off had they stayed that anonymous gas station attendant or whatever job that they had before they were famous.
Money will only take you so far. Crazy will get you the rest of the way.
All worries are cancelled out by other worries. There's a lady you like, but you're worried that you're not good enough for her. That has a way of shifting to, you actually do get her, it doesn't turn out to be as good as you expected and now you're worried about how to ditch her and find another girlfriend, or worries that she'll be stalking you. Things change. There's a lady you like but what if in a few months she moves to another job, another town. Things can change very quickly. There are two kinds of problems in life, not getting what you want and getting what you want. How do I know I'll still be in town in another couple of years, certainly ten years? Actually, in my adult life, I've never stayed in one town for more than ten years, for even ten years. Something happens and I move on. It's kind of like a jinx with me. All worries are useless. Besides, I figure I got about another good 20 years to go and I can either spend that worrying or not. There's infatuation and there's infatuation. I've had infatuations with women so intense that after meeting her, I had to uh, relieve myself within 5 minutes of getting back to my apartment. And with others, there wasn't that.. Representation by population. Is that like infatuation with masturbation? Or infatuation without masturbation?
My friend showed me pictures of strippers he got it on with. I never got it on with strippers. Just neighbourhood girls who were common and plain. But to me they were beautiful. Sure, the ideal is I get it on with young blonde strippers. But the reality is, I've been looking at granny porn for the last 30 years. I even told him this. I also told him that we're all points on the curve and whatever point on the curve we're on, there's thousands of others who are on the same point or worse. Also I had problems over the years with performance anxiety that even included the performance itself. John Cusack, Better Off Dead. Sometimes I wonder if I'm better off dead? I'd still be meeting women in the after life but under a different and better set of physics.
I envy successful people but I also envy people who were losers but they died young. I think I got another 20 - 30 years to go but if they're all loser years, I'd really rather it be 20. Life as a loser is worthless. A lot of people never came up with half the answers I did but they got an early reprieve because the rest of their life was otherwise slated to be all loser years. How come I didnt die young? I'm such a talented writer it's criminal I don't get money for it. Envy is so painful to me that I'd rather be dead than to live my life in perpetual envy. I unsubscribe to YouTube channels who make me envious. If it bothers you, don't watch. If you don't watch then it won't bother you. It's a tragedy and a mistake that my mother died and I lived. She would have been successful in all ways. I turned out to be unsuccessful. If I could, I would trade my life for my mother's. I wonder if she knows this. Some of my friends of the past died young. I wish I died young like them. Better to be dead than to be a loser. I'd rather be dead than to be a loser.
Anything that's too difficult, I'll give up on it. Including life itself.
"I fucked up my life." Tobias Beecher, Oz
If my life gets worse. I'm going try to score some heroin so I can modify my existence, tweak the algorithm. Don't shoot up in one shot to die. Shoot up every day for two weeks before to build up a tolerance. That way, the last dying fix is less of a shock.
Envy is universal but the objects of envy are not. A man would envy seeing a guy with a few women but he probably wouldn't notice or even see let alone envy a woman or a couple with a baby carriage or else if he did he'd feel the opposite of envy thinking, "I'm glad I dodged the bullet on that one.". Whereas a woman would envy the woman or couple with a baby carriage especially if she is barren. She wouldn't even see the guy with a few women.
I think my future will be grim. I've lost all hope in the future.

Trump's chances of winning in 2020 is 50/50. Usually the States doesn't want last decades baggage and historically, incumbent sitting Presidents haven't won elections in years ending in 0. I could be wrong. President Donald Trump's is the other Teflon Don. He's surviving his Presidency despite, well, watch the News.
Trump will never be impeached. There are safeguards. Like Nixon, he can resign before being impeached. Then some brief court process that was actually depicted in the movie, The Falcon and the Snowman, and then Gerald Ford granted him a Presidential Pardon. Probably the next President would pardon Trump. That's if it ever came to that. Which I doubt it will despite the Saturday Night Live skit, 'The Trumps' What if Donald Trump was black?.
Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew resigned a year earlier. Gerald Ford was Acting VP. After Richard Nixon resigned, Gerald Ford was President.
Reporter: Are you using this (firing Jeff Sessions and then hiring Matthew Whittaker to replace him) to reign in Mueller?
Trump: That was a stupid question. I watch your show and you ask a lot of stupid questions.
On CNN they defended the reporter Abby Philip and said that it was not a stupid question.
Sunday, December 16, 2018. As of now, President Trump, according to the internet is under 12 investigations. The internet even said his father is under investigation and his father is dead! This is according to 'Almost Every Part of Trump's Life Is Now Under Investigation' beta.ctvnew.ca I don't remember President Obama being under this many investigations. Even President Clinton had relatively few investigations. There was the affairs he had with women and there was the Whitewater shady real estate investigation. But that's not on the level of Russians having allegedly hacked the election!
At the President George Bush funeral, the body language was strange. And I'm a fine one to talk about body language! Anyways, the other Presidents looked comfortable, assured in their power, as they sat back, reposed. President Trump slumped forward, hands folded in his lap like he was a child that had just been chided. But he was sitting next to 3 ex-Presidents. I'd be nervous too!!! And President Clinton, he gave President Trump a look that he rarely gives but when he does, watch out! I first knew about that look on an A&E Biography. The TV show said that President Clinton sometimes gets mad and gives a certain look. A dangerous expression on his face. Hillary didn't even look at him.
These investigations might have something to do with that look President Clinton gave him. President Trump is full of surprises and he might just survive this yet. I hope that he does well as much as I hope that anyone does well. I am somewhat worried about him.

Survivors of Indian Day Schools. It's sort of like the drug world. Most people try drugs when they're young. Most move on but some stay so as a result, they're 50 year old drug addicts. Most have been sexually abused when they were at that school. Gay. Most who were abused moved on, they felt that they were abused too much but some stayed as they felt that they weren't abused enough so as a result, even decades since they were last at the school, they actually go and pay money to patronize BDSM dungeons to replicate scenes the all male gangbang scene in the Stephen King novel Needful Things or else scenes involving 5 people like something from the movie The Normal Heart starring Mark Buffalo. Ghastly! I rented that video at the Library. The cover looked innocuous enough. I watched part of the movie but even Julia Roberts couldn't save the movie for me. Not my cup of tea.
I heard of one man's junk is another man's treasure but this is ridiculous.
The Library loans out a lot of softcore porn, thankfully for me, the vast majority of it is heterosexual. So much so I often ask myself, Was I just at the Library or at Red Hot Video? I'm confused here.
"Red Rose tea, only in Canada, pity." Indian Day Schools. Residential schools. Only in Canada. You sure don't hear about Indian Day Schools in England.
What about Donald Trump? Did he go to Presidential school?
In any case, all who went to the school and who were abused will line up for the money and try to seek a renumeration or a stipend for their individual and collective experiences at the school, even the BDSM dungeon goers who in that case would say, "You didnt say that you'd only pay us money only if we didn't like it." In this case, ironically, the money going to pay for more visits to exclusively LGBTQ BDSM dungeons.
And this doesn't explain the people who were never abused when they were young but as an adult, they go out of their way to pay money for various forms of abuse at BDSM dungeons such as the Ritual Chamber in Toronto or Rules-Rascal's Club in Vancouver.
On the planet, BDSM dungeons form the basis of a multi-billion dollar a year industry.
Like with all things in life, on one end of the scale there are those who wouldn't see it even if they were paid while on the other end of the scale, there are those who would actually pay money to see it. A paying demographic.
Besides, the News often tells stories that in the old days, you had to go to the Village or Fire Island to hear a story like that. Or else, tell that story to Deadpool, he'd like to hear that story. A week ago, the News threw up another story that Deadpool might like about a teen who was 'attacked' in cell from 5 prisoners during a Scared Straight program at the closed Oakalla Prison. He was very traumatized. I would have suggested why not end life and thus avoid the trauma? That's what I would have done for sure if something like that happened to me. Wouldn't you? The News then said he got a $175,000 legal settlement. If he ended his life, he wouldn't have gotten the settlement.
News, stop telling such stories! Just stop it!
This just words, left brain. To someone who doesn't speak English, this is just meaningless text. Thankfully the News didn't also include pictures, images which would be right brain.

Intrusive thoughts. Unwanted thoughts. There's a store. I love them. But for some goddamned reason, whenever I think of them, I think of them as Flinstones. Industrial grunge - Flintstones. The industrial grunge nature of the hard to open elaborate packaging. Just like when I see Sigourney We I involuntarily think the word Muldoon. So much so you might one day find me at the Mental Hospital, Room 247 'Muldoon'. Anyways, the other day, as I left the store I saw a truck driver past, going from right to left. The truck had Flintstone's stencil painted on the side. I then wondered about the store.😐 People who work there know about this, as if saying, "We're telepathic. We work to rule. We know you think the word Flinstones whenever you think of us so we hired a truck and told the trucking company, "We know he that he thinks the word Flinstone's when he thinks of us. So next time he comes in, wait til he leaves. Then as he's walking out, drive the truck past him, right in front of him."" Nah!

Kevin Hart got kicked off of hosting the Oscars because of tweets made 10 years ago. He got purged by the Marxist Left because he wasn't far enough left. Everybody has said something at one time. In Thailand if you do something wrong, as long as it's not serious it's forgotten about the next morning. In Cambodia if you do something wrong, you're a bad person forever. Kevin Hart might think of moving to a different, and arguably better country. Any group that would have me as a member I don't want to join as Groucho Marx once said. If a country would kick him off the Oscars for some tweets he made years ago, is that a country he'd want to stay in? Move to Europe. In a lot of ways, Europe is better than North America. First World problems. Not hosting the Oscars isn't a problem most people typically worry about. It's worries about money for groceries. What can you say about the Oscars? First of all, they didn't give best picture for STAR WARS in 1977. Annie Hall won the award that year. Then they give best picture award to pretentious art-house flicks like On Golden Pond, Chariots of Fire, Traffic, and Life Is Beautiful. Bizarre. Then to top it all off they queer their own deal with their #OscarSoWhite Oscars by giving the pederasty movie Spotlight best picture. An error in judgement?
"Makes them feel more powerful which in turn makes them feel more comfortable, which in turn makes them prone to massive errors in judgement." Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past
So... STAR WARS doesn't get the award for best picture but Spotlight does. Ha ha ha! What bunch of stupid fucking crackers!
I myself have tweeted a lot of things that some not might but pretty much would deem offensive. Yeah, me and millions of others. I would say that it could ruin my career except that I don't have a career of any kind to begin with.
I guess The Dick Twang Band wouldn't be doing any numbers during the Oscars as their career is based on producing material that some might find intensely and profoundly offensive and on an industrial scale. Their most famous song is Lysol Rap.
Ha ha, it's fucking ironic that they're banning someone from hosting the Oscars for past offensive tweets. That's rich when you consider who they have as their President; The King of Tweets. ie Adam Schiff, Adam Schitt. etc etc
"Rex Tillerson didnt have the mental capacity needed. He was dumb as a rock and I couldn't get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell." President Trump, Twitter
That's OK, but Kevin Hart is not. Oscar assholes splitting hairs as usual. Hollywood as a collective is like a lot of people as individuals, "When I'm crazy, that's OK. When you're crazy, that's not OK." Sanctimonious assholes.
However, Los Angeles is a beautiful town. LA is a good town if you don't spend your life worrying about the wrong things all the time.
However, if I had a choice between moving to England or moving to Hollywood, I would choose England every time.
Actually I read Kevin Hart's old tweets. There's a lot of them on Google images. I couldn't stop laughing. They're quite funny. I could see how the Oscars could take offense at that. But hey, they're the Oscars. Remember Eddie Murphy's Delirious and Raw? He's funny like Eddie Murphy.
I never watched an Academy Awards in its entirety even once, ever. Too boring. If they didn't give STAR WARS the award for best picture, I don't see how I could take them seriously at all.
Not giving STAR WARS the Academy Award is like Bill Maher's story about how the ironically named Brown University turned down a speaking on stage appearance from President Obama because "they felt he hadn't achieved enough in life". In their case they probably meant melanin-wise. Instead they give the award to someone who got it on with his teenaged stepdaughter. They sure fumbled that one. And were not talking about an individual whose decisions affect relatively few people. We're talking about a collective whose decisions affect millions of lives.

He said when he went to England and told people he was doing a movie, they were happy for him and wanted him to succeed. If I had a chance to I would like to be spirited away to England. I'll never come back.

The News talked about installing washrooms next to bus stops in case anybody needs it. A bus stop is already a washroom. People in the past have probably urinated against it or squatted down next to it so an actual washroom would be just window dressing. A washroom only keeps decent people from using the bus stop as a washroom. In fact, pregnant women have probably gone into labor and delivered at a bus stop, people probably did it at the bus stop and conceived there, and sadly, some people have probably died at a bus stop. Cycle of life. So much so, you could ask, What do a priest and a bus stop have in common? Hatching, matching, and dispatching.
Klondike Days - Looks like the photo uploader for Blogger is back. What a miracle! Isn't technology wonderful?
During the Klondike line up, up the hill, one Klondike miner asked another, "Why are you here?" The other miner said, "I hope to pay off my student loan." The first miner said, "What did you study?" The second miner replied, "Gynecology." The first miner laughed and said, "That's not going to come in handy around here. Look around you."
A few days later, as they were walking down Paradise Alley, the first miner said to the second miner, "Looks like your degree is going to come in handy after all."
There's a referendum in BC regarding either proportional representation or first past the post. How can you have proportional representation if people are stacking the vote? Proportional representation is if a population has a certain amount of refugees and immigrants, they should appoint someone from the refugee immigrant ilk to represent them in political office, even though that person is a bounder and knows relatively little about local culture but they all are uncannily good at the hip hop gangsta colloquial English, in order to assuage and ameliorate any affirmative action policy wonk sentimentalities. The question is, "Is the ethnic minority they're hiring actually as qualified as a White person to do it? If not, are you going to hire them anyway just to fulfill some idealistic pseudo-moralistic quota?"
However, some foreigners are more talented at politics than most White people. To not hire them is to confuse status quo with status quota. Actually, what's the difference?
First past the post is, if followed to it's furthest extreme, in a multicultural community, all or nearly all the city aldermen are White and are men. It'd be like a throw-back to the 50s. Well, if it works. In Canada, an immigrant can arrive here and 20 years later, be a politician. It isn't that way overseas in countries like China. All the politicians are Chinese even in cities with sizable White and other ethnic populations. India is like that too, all East Indian politicians. I think it's largely nepotism there, but again, if it works. And it seems to be working and working well.
Sometimes it gets weird. In a town in which half the population is French, but all the councillors at City Hall are British. Is it proportional representation or not? I mean, they ARE all White. I would say that in a case like this, it's proportional representation, but on the other hand, it's not.
I refuse to vote in the referendum. I got better things to do like reach the next level on Shadow of War on my tablet. I refuse to participate in these local political peccadillos. Six of one is half a dozen of the other, heads you win tails you win, in this case. Like a lot of things in life, in either system, you are trading one set of advantages and disadvantages for another.
It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Of course we won't necessarily be finding out how people actually voted, we will find out, at the end of the referendum, the result the government wanted all along, the vote on the referendum is irrelevant. Case in point, in Canada, in the past 40 years, there was a capital punishment referendum in 1980. It was voted down although most people voted for it. Then there were two Quebec referendums. I don't know how people voted, but Quebec is still a part of Canada. It didn't separate. Wolfe and Montcalm, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. That's how it will always be as long as you have British agents scuppering the deal. Another famous case is Newfoundland in 1949. It didn't separate either. Secret Nation, a movie made in 1992 starring Canadian comedian Cathy Jones talks all about Newfoundland. It's difficult to get. If you can find it online, good luck.
The Liberals are in favor of First Past the Post which is a right wing kind of choice. The NDP is in favor of Proportional Representation which is a left wing kind of choice. But just on a secondary level. The controlled opposition level. At the level above that, at the very top, they're all in agreement. They want the same thing. And we'll find out what that is when the referendum is over.
This referendum is yet another BC boondoggle, a White elephant, in fact, it's the latest local white elephant in the room; as you're not supposed to call it that. one in a long line of many including Fast Cats and BRIC shares. BC's had so many. What's one more?
I was sent an envelope with the offer to fill out the referendum form, make the choices and to return the completed ballot. I don't know if I will. There's quite a few questions some of them I don't fully understand, specifically, DMP Dual Member Proportional, MMP Mixed Member Proportional and RUP Rural Urban Proportional. You'd need to study political science 1.0 in college or University to understand all that. I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't see how my life would improve if I voted either way.
The referendum is really asking the same question twice. Once directly, and once indirectly. If one picks RUP it means first past the post. MMP means a compromise, a centrist middle ground. And DMP means proportional representation. Or is it the other way around? Anyways, this is fiction but once during an election when the results were deadlocked in a Mexican standoff type situation, a referendum was distributed asking the question, Which sexual position do you prefer? And there were three choices. Picking man on top meant Conservative. Picking woman on top mean the centrist Liberals. And picking doggie style meant NDP.
This is one of those consistency tests slash personality tests. One hundred questions. One question asks you "Do you like apple pie?" A few dozen questions later so you forgot that other question, "How often do you eat apple pie?" If the first answer was "No." and the next answer is 5 times a week, there's inconsistency. So the pollsters could say, "Sure you answered one way on the direct question, but you answered the other way on the indirect question. We should average out the answers, which gives them room to scupper or manipulate the vote." Remember, all elections and referendums are rigged.
"Why do you have to wreck this company?" "Because it's wreckable." Wall Street
Why rig the election? Because it's riggable.
That there are three choices on the indirect question is disturbing. Political science 1.0. There are no centrist parties. A centrist party just splits the vote for either the right or the left. It's another tool for pollsters to leverage and engineer the final result while simultaneously appearing to have sought public consultation on the issue. A third choice on the referendum splits the result for either the pro-first past the posters or else the pro- proportional representationers. How it works is that there are three ways to determine an outcome, the result of the direct question, the result of the indirect question, and an average between the two. The one closest to the one they originally wanted is determined to be the winner and will be announced that, due to our choosing the result using a mysterious algorithm, that is, mentioning using one method and tactfully omitting mentioning the two other methods, we reached a decision. It's a real slim shady. It's not a problem if you don't vote in the referendum. Just forget about it. It gives them less to work with.
As BBC News pointed out, depending on the algorithm, in example 1, red won most ridings, blue didn't win any. In the second example, blue won 2 out of 5 ridings. In the 3rd example, blue won 3 ridings, got 50% in one of them and lost only one riding.

I guess this is the local answer to the Brexit referendum in the UK. About Brexit, the way I see it, Pros: Passport free travel throughout Europe. Cons: Continental Europeans telling England what to do. Brexit has gotten so dangerous that I saw on the News that the PM of Britain Theresa May was threatened. That's out of order, yeah?! I hope the Police arrest whoever sent her those threats. One should never threaten a member of political office unless, that is, you actually want to get busted. That'd be crazy.

Theresa May with her Brexit deal is basically saying, "It's my way or the highway." The other day the benches in the UK House of Parliament was strangely empty like a bench clearing brawl in hockey.
I said a lot about a referendum in which I refused to vote in. That's the way I'll feel about all referendums from now on as they all run along a similar skein. 1. I don't fully understand it. 2. The result has been pre-decided anyways and the voting is just a ruse.
I'm just saying I won't vote and why. This isn't to advise anyone else to vote or not to vote. You'll do what you want.
November 8, 2018 Thursday night, 7 pm. November 9, 2018, Friday night, 8 pm. CBC, Global Television and CKNW radio. BC Electoral Reform Debate. I'll give it a go. But the DMP, MMP, RUP thing is still confusing to me. Like I said, I don't care what the result is, so I'm not voting.
I watched the debate. It was very good. Andrew Wilkinson said, "Under Proportional Representation, there will be all these rag tag parties forming coalitions." John Horgan said, "You make it sound we're going to be cramming all these nefarious personalities in the legislature." It was a really good debate. I'm voting for First Past the Post. In this referendum, if you pick that answer, you don't have to then proceed to answer the DMP, MMP, RUP like you would if you pick the second answer. First Past the Post is the current system and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. First Past the Post is the system that brought steady public sector raises and marijuana legalization.
Update Wednesday, November 21, 2018: There's some kind of covfefe or kerfuffle at the BC Legislature. It's probably in some way related to the referendum. And there's a postal strike. So the end result is they'll say, "We tried to have a referendum but the situation was compromised due to what happened at the Legislature which has left the Province baffled, and also the Postal Strike so we couldn't do it. How about next time we try it again?" It's either causation or correlation that the Canada Post strike is strangely timed to happen during a Referendum.
It would only take a twisted mind to conflate the Referendum, the Postal Strike and the recent shakeup at the BC Legislature as if they were all somehow connected. As if they had anything to do with one another. "That's quite a stretch." Colin Firth, Bridget Jones and the Edge of Reason. "Stop drawing invisible lines between non-connected points." David Harbour, The Green Hornet
"Where was God for you that day?" Maybe God is only there for people who make good choices. God gives people free will. That's a lot to give any shamanic entity, or interdimensional being which is what humans are. Free will is an illusion based on the illusion that everything is not happening at the same time.
Just like in elections and referendums. Free choice is an illusion based on the illusion that there isn't just one but a whole bunch of algorithms they can choose from, one that comes closest to what they wanted all along, also based on the illusion that everything isn't happening at the same time. It's a game of political chess between the politicians and the people in which the social engineers have already taken into account the algorithm of the illusion of non-simultaneousness and thus the accompanying illusion of choice. Thinking a few moves ahead.
Update: December 20, 2018: The referendum result: The status quo. First Past The Post. Well, that's a few million dollars down the drain for the question that nobody asked and that even if asked, everybody knew the answer to.

An aside, yesterday, on Wednesday, November 1, 2018, I found a bottle of shankhpushpi syrup at the Salvation Army food bank. Shankhpushpi is a brain memory enhancer like ginkgo. It's sold on amazon. I tried it. It's an acquired taste but once you realize it tastes like Chinese grass jelly, it doesn't taste too bad. I'd have to say it works, but maybe it's placebo. An ideal night would be a Lord of the Rings energy drink night. Drink Rockstar energy drink, get the edgy buzz, and play Shadow of War. But even with 60 extra energy points a day, they go very fast. 6 hard level battles for glyphs at 10 energy points each. Or 10 Raids at 5 energy points a raid = 50 energy points. 10 Raids if you push the button takes like, all of 1 second to accomplish. Like I said, very quickly.
I had 1100 VIP points. I'm on VIP 2. Only 100 more at 20 points a day, in 5 days, I would've had 1200 VIP points or else VIP 3. But I had to get the Battle Pit Refreshes. I thought the refreshes were free which is why I got it, but it costs 200 gems to refresh. I'm cheap with gems. I save up the 3,000 green gems to get the 65,000 silver marian of which I got two payouts of since I restarted the game from scratch since I busted my old tablet and then got a new one. That means I got 320 VIP points now. 880 more at 20 VIP points a day, or else 44 days. But in 30 days, I'm renewing my 30 day gemstone package which includes 1,000 VIP points, so I'll get VIP 3 in about 28 days since I renewed my 30 day gemstone package 2 days ago. But I would have otherwise gotten VIP 3 5 days, had I not fucked up and got the Battle Pit Refreshes.
On Saturday, October 27, 2018, I saw my first 8K TV. Some of the scenes were better than others and one scene, a red turnip burrowing in the dirt, but you could see almost every molecule of that dirt, some of it glistening, was mindblowing. Other scenes were pretty good, great wall of China, but that scene looked 50% better than 4K, not the 4 times better as advertised, but the turnip scene did come pretty close. I also saw a royal tiara that looked crystal clear in 8K. The problem is, the demo TVs at the audio visual store show you images that you'll never see again in your lifetime. I saw some good images at a 4K TV display. I never saw them ever again. I doubt that I'd see the red turnip ever again. I doubt that will ever "turnip" ever again. Sure, but is it worth the price? Then you'd need an 8K machine, 8K discs, or 8K wiring although an 8K machine, technically will upscale even a DVD to 8K or at least try to. I might get one in 10 years when the price drops, but there is no rush or priority for me to replace my 55" 4K TV I currently have. I got an RCA with Technicolor 4K TV for about $500 with taxes, etc at Shopper's Drug Mart. Murphy's Law. 4 months later, I see a Haier 55" TV selling at the same price. It's gone now. Sold out. In small towns, you got to get things fast or they're gone. Haier is the official TV of the NBA. You see the Haier building on the docks on the Hong Kong shoreline. I'm happy with my RCA, though.
Right now, HD cable boxes don't even transmit in 4K, probably 720p or 1080 at best. It will be about 20 years until cable boxes consistently transmit a proper 8K signal.
Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorites. But so far they only have a Sherlock Holmes app where one is looking for hidden objects in a room. Not bad, but I need a Sherlock Holmes RPG in the style of either Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Walking Dead No Man's Land, or Walking Dead Road to Survival. Any app developer who makes this app will probably get a million dollars. On the Sherlock Holmes side, you have Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson, Mycroft, Commander Gregson, Inspector Lestrade and the Baker Street Irregulars. And on the enemy side, you have Professor Moriarty, Jack Woodley, Mr. Carruthers, Reverend Williamson from The Solitary Cyclist, Mortimer Tregennis from The Devil's Foot, etc Mrs. Hudson to provide Sherlock Holmes with renewed energy points and sustenance and Irene Adler, who is on the Moriarty side at first and then later on in the game, on Sherlock Holmes side, and also some anonymous Victoria London thugs with knuckle dusters, etc. Sherlock Holmes and his army, ascends levels, collects coins, gems, etc which can be used to upgrade characters and upgrade weapons too. I'd be completely dialed in to that. Join leagues, guilds, increased prizes, take part in tournaments, etc.
It would include characters and likenesses from all the Sherlock Holmes Universes including Granada TV Jeremy Brett, Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman Sherlock Holmes, The TV Show Elementary Sherlock Holmes, all the colorized Sherlock Holmes, but the earlier B/W Sherlock Holmes including the iteration with STAR WARS' Peter Cushing or Grand Moff Tarkin, if you want to include that on an app like retro 70s pinball, that's up to you. If you could include all their likenesses in a Sherlock Holmes RPG app, like STAR m
Galaxy of Heroes, and Force Arena which includes characters from all 10 STAR WARS movies: 3 OT, 3 Prequel Trilogy, and 2 Disney STAR WARS plus Rogue One and Han Solo, that would be majorly.
Blade Runner is another franchise that could use an RPG app. They did it with Terminator. Terminator Genisys Future War is OK. Lots of building. Terminator Genisys Guardian is a lot more smokin'! With Terminator Genisys Guardian, you actually feel like you've travelled to a future dystopian post-apocalyptic World of the year 2037 and you're fighting Skynet and the Terminators.
The 4 best RPG games on Android Apps. Most addictive, the ones I'm always on are: Middle Earth Shadow of War, Walking Dead No Man's Land, Walking Dead Road to Survival, STAR WARS Galaxy of Heroes. On STAR WARS Galaxy of Heroes, I got assigned the name: Mol Eliza.
Marvel Strike Force is also very good. So good that on Sunday, November 11, at 9 pm, I went to 7-11 and got a google play card just so I could get Deadpool, a 3 star character for $7.99. Usually, characters start at 1 star. Deadpool starts at 3 stars. Otherwise, I would have to complete level 60 to get it and right now, I'm at level 1 or thereabouts. Deadpool has the most awesome martial arts skills. It's one thing to pay for a toy that's an inanimate doll, but to pay for a toy that's an avatar on an app that can teach you martial arts. Deadpool is funny and uses two swords and two guns. How awesome is that? It makes me want to get the two Deadpool movies. Daredevil is awesome too, but I got him free, included in my initial offering of characters. I want to watch the Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck again. When I went to get the google card so I could get Deadpool, I saw a white carriage with a horse pulling it. That is a sign my decision to get the Deadpool character was a right one.
On Marvel Strike Force, my avatar name is WadeWilson68.
I also got 3 Rockstar energy drinks along with the google card. Marvel Strike Force is so good that I uninstalled Traffic Rider so I could install it. Even thought I paid $10 for IAPs, I don't care. They can eat the $10. Traffic Rider is glitchy as fuck. On the nighttime levels, the road looks all glitchy, all dot matrixy. I don't need that. Racing Fever Moto and Highway Motor Rider is just as good.
Monday, November 12, 2018. It is with great sadness that I express gratitude and RIP to Stan Lee. His influence in my life can not be over stated. I first heard of Spider-Man when I was a child when the cartoons were on. All of his Super-Heroes and last night I got Dead-pool on Marvel Strike Force. Stan Lee is the greatest. Daredevil, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Howard the Duck, Thor, all of it is sheer greatness. Stan Lee will be there with Joel Shuster and Jerry Siegel who created Super-Man as one of the greatest people in super hero comic book history. Stan Lee is one of the greatest people who ever lived in the history of this planet. Too bad I never met him, but it would've been quite a commute since he lived in either Los Angeles or New York and I live here. However much of a commute it would have been to meet him, it'd be more of a commute now. Maybe one day I might have a dream about him. Who knows?
I found out about Stan Lee's death on the Marvel Strike Force chat room.
On the day Stan Lee died, on the Marvel Strike Force chatroom, someone wrote: "Stan Lee died. That's bad right? Don't worry, we will see him do cameos in future movies in CGI." The administrator then wrote: "You need to leave the chatroom immediately."
November 15, 2018: Telltale Games is shutting down. Which means you have to download The Walking Dead Season 1 and 2 soon to get it. I already downloaded it. The Walking Dead Michonne is from Scopely Games which is a different app developer.
------------------------------------------
Deadpool. My new favorite character is Deadpool. Deadpool survived death after a government experiment similar to MK Ultra. Like Deadpool, I survived death, at least twice. I had near death experiences where I saw the fuschia sky and the white clouds, although against the fuschia, the clouds appeared pink, then I popped out of my head and I recognized my room, looking like a French daguerrotype. When I woke up, I screamed as it felt like every nerve in my body, even ones I didn't know I had, had been slid quickly one millimetre along some very fine sandpaper.
Anyways, surviving death, an NDE, like the movie Flatliners said, rewires the brain. I can do things like catch things in the air without looking at it like my scooter. Tonto in the movie The Lone Ranger also survived and NDE, he was a ghostwalker, rewired brain, do things without looking at it, etc.
Deadpool doesn't care about anything. There is no filter. He's known as 'the mercenary with the mouth' as he never shuts up. In the movies, he talks about the four steps to a prostate induced orgasm. When he is slicing off his arm to free himself from a set of handcuffs, and blood is spurting everywhere, that's when he chooses that time to say, "Are you there God, it's me, Margaret." Like I said, No filter.
As much as I'd like to be like Deadpool, there are some things I can't do. Deadpool got his head cut off several times and he survived that. He even had Juggernaut rip him in half and he still survived, just like Darth Maul. Would I be able to survive that? Uh, ...no.
Deadpool makes me want to experience my feminine side in martial arts. In a Jackie Chan movie, a male martial artist has 9 forms, but one of them in a feminine form. The East Indians call that shakti. In a Jackie Chan movie, that form was called, 'Hor seen goon'. Deadpool Shakti means like the feminine, free, fast, letting go, whip like reflexes, light, lithe. Those aspects are important in martial arts.
One thing about Deadpool is that he's mentally unstable. It's remarkable that he's even alive after that government experiment let alone be mentally unstable. It is probable that he's bisexual. Or at any rate, he's like Spider-Man except a few points higher on the Kinsey scale. It doesn't make me like Deadpool any less, but it certainly doesn't make me like him any more.
What I like about Deadpool is that he doesn't let the weird things in life slow him down or stop him. He channels that energy to make his martial arts better.
Deadpools suit is completely concerned with death. The red of the suit and the white eyeslits represent the red or fuschia sky and the white eye slits the white clouds that always come with the red fuschia sky. The black on his suit represents the ghosts of the dead. Contrary to popular myth, ghosts don't always appear in white. The negative Earthbound spirits, those angry, afraid, self obsessed appear in funerary black, the shade of black is spiderly black.
Killer whales have Deadpool coloration. Red tongue, and then white and black.
David Icke wrote that red, black and white are colors used in Satanism.
I got Deadpool 2 on blu ray. It's different than the one I borrowed from the library. The Library must have had the extended cut. There are lines and segments missing on the blu ray I got. I was thinking of getting a Deadpool costume but my gymnastics have got to be a lot better to do honor to the name of Deadpool. Until the gymnastics get better, I won't get a Deadpool costume.
My 7 favorite apps. I play these now. Almost no others:
1. Middle Earth: Shadow of War - Guild: Bright Hand. Name: Herbessa
2. Walking Dead - No Man's Land - Guild: New Eden. Name Merle Walker 68. Note: My guild has abandoned me. Of the 5 currently listed in my guild, when I checked on November 14, 2018, only one was last signed in less than a day ago. The rest, the last time they signed in was weeks ago. I was going to spend 400 gold to get them all a Gold Chest, but the question is, "Get who a gold chest?"
3. Walking Dead - Road to Survival - Name: MerleWalker68
4. Marvel Strike Force - Name: WadeWilson68 I got Deadpool!
5. STAR WARS Galaxy of Heroes - Name: Mol Eliza* *Note: Lots of people have that name.
6. Marvel Contest of Champions - HeroLegion68 I got Juggernaut! No Deadpool yet.
7. Marvel Future Fight - Name: FrancisAngel68 I got Deadpool!
Zen Pinball, all of them, Zaccaria Pinball, they're all good. I have ALL the Zen pinball STAR WARS pinball games now. I bought them all. Every last one.

About 68. At one time, I lived on Soi 68 somewhere in Bangkok, Thailand. Then years later, King George the 6th and King Edward the 8th visited me in a dream. I was seated at a round table, outdoors, day time, cloudy weather. King Edward 8th stood a short distance behing King George the 6th who was standing right next to me, to my right, looking right at me! It was a vivid dream.
On Tuesday December 11, my tablet turned off automatically. I was playing Contest of Champions at the time. Years ago I saw a YouTube video than an Asian had made. Someone in the comment section basically insulted the video. An Asian hacker replied, "Virus coming your way." I thought a hacker, possibly Asian, possibly Russian, from Marvel Contest of Champions sent the virus along with the update. I even read on forums that the same thing happened to someone else's tablet after an update. The computer tech said to do
A hard reboot. Turns out my battery was down to 0% and I had to recharge. That's normal with tablets so no virus from Contest of Champions. My tablet now charged runs like a V-12 engine Jaguar running on all 12 cylinders!

I hope that the people in Paradise California pull through the forest fire. There was a forest fire in Fort McMurray and they survived that. For awhile, I wondered whether the smoke from that fire would drift to my town making it cloudy like England is cloudy all the time. That didn't happen.
Fort McMurray was worse. Fort McMurray was an oil fire as a forest fire. Paradise California is only a forest fire.

"What do you do when your nose goes on strike?" "Picket."
Canada Post is on strike. The Canadian Postal service is known for it's acrimonious relations between the union and it's employer. Canada Post is one of the few unionized jobs in North America that hasn't been outsourced. The Police is another unionized job that hasn't been outsourced but you don't see them going on strike. In the old days, people like Andrew Carnegie hired strikebreakers who were thugs with clubs who went in and beat people up. Sometimes the strikebreakers were the Police themselves. They sure don't do that anymore. People who would cross picket lines to work, which takes presenteeism and/or workaholism to a new level, during a strike were called scabs who were either people in the company who decided not to join in the strike and work, or else people hired from elsewhere as replacement workers. Scabs were often beaten up too.
Well, it looks like Christmas 2018 in Canada is down the tubes. Try shopping in stores directly rather than using Canada Post. I would suggest telling your friends who live in other towns who might otherwise be expecting a gift from you mailed to them, "I really did want to send yo a gift, but as you may also have seen on television, there's a postal strike, so there's no way I can send it to you. Hmm. Maybe I'll use Purolator or else UPS."
In a hundred years since the Andrew Carnegie days, it's gone from strikebreakers, that is strikers getting beaten to scabs, which in this case is picketers who are doing the beating.
In the old days, there were rock star strike negotiators like Vince Ready and Simon Reisman RIP. There's probably someone like that today? If the World's history were a Lego Universe, Vince Ready and Simon Reisman would be major collectible Lego characters.
I haven't thought of those names in literally years, then I thought of it today. The mind is scary that way. I mean, when's the last time I mentioned them?
Canada Post and the Government are going through negotiations right now with the usual Teamsters style confrontations.
Three high school students are sitting at some bleachers in the zombie apocalypse like from Season 9, episode entitled Evolution. One guy says, "There's a compound beyond the forest over there were there are only women. There's about 20 women there. Why don't we go, although in your case it would be useless. Like Richard Pryor said, "You couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a pound of pot." But since we're going there, we shouldn't go empty handed. We should bring a gift. What would you suggest?"
The other guy says, "What about flowers and a box of chocolates?"
The first guy says, "No wonder you never get laid, I was thinking more along the lines of condoms and lube."
The girl stands there listening to all this, incredulous.

Monday, November 26, 2018: The News said today, that another koi died 'at the hands of' the otter currently residing at Sun Yat Sen park in Vancouver. That made it on the News? Like the old saying goes, "If a dog bites a man, that is not News, if a man bites a dog, that is News." If an koi dies at the hands of an otter, that is not News. Now if the otter died at the hands of a koi, that would be News. How did the otter get there in the first place? Did it use an estuary?
What can you say? Just someone else who visited downtown Vancouver for the famous 'All you can eat sashimi buffet'.
There is no Uber in BC. But there is Uber in Toronto as long as it's booked through a smart app. That leaves the necessary data trail. In Winnipeg, when pot was legalized, lots of shops opened. In BC a lot of shops closed and won't get licensing until April
BC is a backwater. BC is an embedded anagram in the word BaCkwater. With marijuana, maybe the shops aren't being opened until April because that's when the first crop of GMO marijuana, or else designer marijuana will be harvested. Monsanto has made suicide seeds. These seeds grow plants that last only one generation and cannot generate more plants. That makes farmers dependant on Monsanto's Round Up Ready* seeds for the seeds and it is illegal for them to use their own old fashioned kind of seeds. People who argue for GMOs will say that prevents genetic drift that can happen even with cloning. Maybe BC has got Monsanto marijuana. That's the worry. Companies have patents on marijuana genes. That's the kind of World we live in. I think I have maybe 38 years left at most although with condensed time experience as you get older, it will seem like 27 years. I don't plan on ever bringing children into this World. What kind of a World would it be for future generations?
*People like Alex Jones say that Round Up Ready is a hidden reference to martial law. Well, you know Alex Jones..."
Monsanto got bought out by Bayer in 2018. Bayer aspirin, that Bayer. Monsanto also specifically said on it's website the 'terminator seeds' were an urban myth and that they don't do that.
Previously legal. Now illegal. Synthetic marijuana.
Previously illegal. Now legal in Canada. Marijuana.
What was Legal Budz, that is synthetic marijuana 400 times stronger than actual marijuana is now illegal. And what was illegal buds, that is actual marijuana, is now legal.
Monday, November 26, 2018: RIP Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci. Director of The Last Emperor. Bernardo Bertolucci is on high. He is now riding the dragon. To use words, from his most famous movie.
A few days ago, I discovered that I can use the microphone on google search on either of my tablets, ask it a question and it answers back out loud. That's kind of like Siri. It's also kind of like the Replika app. The Replika app is a virtual friend you can have conversations with and even ask advice. But you got to register, pesky email. So I never got it. A few years ago, a toy called Furby was prohibited in certain places where there was sensitive information like military places because Furby would often repeat what was said in these places. But things like Siri could also do that too. #hiddentech
iJustine got a 150 TB, that one hundred and fifty terabyte hard drive. That's amazing! I remember when I marveled at a 1 TB hard drive I saw in Dawson Creek. It was going then in 2010 for $1,000. The other day, my friend sold a used 1 TB hard drive for $20. 150 terabytes, that's like having 150 billion dollars. Will you ever spend it all? It would take 170 years of daily steady hard core cartoon animation to use up 150 terabytes. If the 150 terabytes was all used up, how long would it take to search for something? Even with a 10 GB RAM, it would take a few hours, at least.

Thursday December 6, 2018. I got STAR WARS the original trilogy Lego. STAR WARS Lego works good on my Acer Iconia. I installed it today. It didn't work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A.
The SW app needs a 2GB RAM tablet to work. My Acer Iconia has that. My Samsung has 1.5 GB RAM.
