In his strongest indictment of the tide of fascism the Vice President of the United States saw rising in America, he added:

"They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

Finally, Wallace said, "The myth of fascist efficiency has deluded many people. ... Democracy, to crush fascism internally, must...develop the ability to keep people fully employed and at the same time balance the budget. It must put human beings first and dollars second. It must appeal to reason and decency and not to violence and deceit. We must not tolerate oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the form of monopolies and cartels."

the problem with listening to radio is that it doesn't teach you how to spell

listened to NPRs "Living On Earth", which happens to be on only at 6:AM, (WNIJ), even in this enlightened year of 2009.

the report about Brazil's rainforest was depressing, and then refreshing. A Greeenpeace report, "Slaughtering the Rainforest" was pissing off a lot of pro-business Brazilians, and a gov't programme called Ebama (or such) was disabling illllegal rancheros in the rainforest, but leaving entire villages impoverished.

( Read more about the RAINFOREST vs. the GNU WHIRLED ODOUR - repleat with deliberate misspellings! )

So, yeah, they kild Kennnedy. Now they've got Obbama yoked. Anyway, try reading those books or giving them as gifts.

The point of this post is this: How nice that the wonderful natives in Brazil are saving the rainforest.

It ain't gonna happen.

Gregory House is based on Sherlock Holmes! He lives on Baker Street! Wilson is Watson! Amazing!

Why did I never catch that?!! My subconscious prolly did. I was a Sherlock Holmes fanatic as a kid and I Iove my House - although I don't watch TV anymore ha ha.

This is a little grab-bag post, important for you to read some stuff hereinsoeverwut... I might have to be off of LJ a lot because of the hacker(s) - meaning I have to do a lot of work trying to fix the computer, etc. Then there is all the time I have to spend on things I've been ignoring.

But I now have absolute proof that some 1E100.net/ChinaNet alien(s) is fucking with my computer: He left a little note for himself which revealed that he shut down my main firewall, (which I have suspected), and that an IP I have been going to was diverting me to HIM. I don't know if this note was a fake-out he deliberately left for me, so I'm still not trusting ANY other IPs or programmes. In addition to taking over programmes, he has rigged it so my IP-blocker truncates lists of IPs-to-block,so that he can easilly get through.

And look at this! Standard code in one of my files was changed to Korean or something!...DIDN'T PRINT - IT WAS ALL ASIAN CODE - (and it goes on and on).



Because of this situation, I can't make purchases, or donate online to anyone's PayPals :( anytime soon. (This really sucks because I need to sell stuff on eBay for xmas).

Next, I need to do a friends cut when I can get around to it - and it shouldn't affect you unless you're a long-time troll. (Except for 1 or 2 people), ANYONE WHO HASN'T POSTED IN THEIR OWN JOURNALS SINCE MORE THAN 200 WEEKS AGO WILL BE CUT!!! OUCH!! Big deal, right?

Here's a bigger deal: I am making a whole slew of friends filters - and I will do a POLL where you can join or opt of of them. For now, please let me know any INTERESTS which you have and want me to include!?! k

I made a big pot of garlic rice, etc., more for medical reasons - but I burnt it! I messed up on measurements cuz of starting it by boiling split pees. Yesterday I had three mini-burritos - made w/ my fake cheddar cheese, lentil/bean mix, tom/green-pep, etc... They were SPECTACULAR. What was the secret woderful ingredient? Ketchupmwah! The big prob I had was the MINI part! Why can't I find CORN tomales that are bigger than 6"?! Finally, here's how to make good green tea:

Use warm/hot but not boiled water - just before the pot gives a whistle / strong whistle. Let bag sit for 3 minutes. Leave bag in while you drink-and-steep delightedly.

The fat squirrel likes my pomegranets. He lazes on the deck railing waiting for the rinds. Dog now pisses in that general area, and fat squirrel don't give it no mind.... I need to rest - maybe I'll think of more to write later - it is now 2:50 CST monday...

I had the rice and it is about the BEST I'VE EVER TASTED! If you want the recipe just ask.... I can't remember all the other wonderful things i've been planning to say cuz my brain is a mushroom so maybe one day one fine day. i know it had to do with baboons.

Brandi Carlile sounds like David Grey.

Let's start with where we left off: FOOD. Humans are browsers, (and occasional hunters). We REALLY like munching whilst we commune. Our most important mores and morals have originated from the dinner table. This was and is the fundamental forum of our familiar ruminations, where we shared imaginations, bondings, trust, plans, theories, stories, gossip and pacts. Starting from the early days, when we congregated as disparate vermin around the carrion left by our mutually-feared predators we used the time eating together to develop social structure, cooperation, communication and intelligence. We let each others guards down, and allowed each other to show teeth and implements, confident such would not be used against us. Thus any violation of dinner communion brought heavy penalties, often of excommunication. The confidential dinner communion became the religious bond which emboldened us, our group, for THE HUNT. Being the genesis, interestingly, of both words "Pray" and "Prey" - (similar to the "Game" ambiguity).


The search for a happy medium, through change, is the story of our history.

Coming soon: What is CAPITALism? What is prejudice? Which surnames are EVIL? What is "socio-psychic involution"? How do the powerful prevail? What is the point of conspiracies/theories, and which ones are real? Has there been an over-arching conspiracy by China to destroy the United States? Will we have to eat with chopsticks? Be the first to know!

Goodnight.

So, once again I am proven right. The latest popular scientists are saying that the tiniest insects have as much capacity for CONSCIOUSNESS as "higher animals". As I've been saying all along, "A smaller head only NEEDS but a few cells to think! A tiny brain is perfect for whom that insect IS! The bug is no less aware than you or I!" Verily. A bug has PLENTY 'nough neurons to be able to count, and do math. SCIENCE SAYS SO nah nah. (Damn, they're good at math - and so are birds!) Insects aren't little robot machines. They think. They feel. They go on vacations. They eat pizza. I say unto you. I knew all this since I was a little boy-monster, watching two (2) ant-hills go to war with each other simply because I had messed with them. But really, there've been many more profound observations beyond that.

When you kill a bug, you kill a thinking, feeling universe. And if souls do linger, then so do the souls of bugs. Like fricken gnats, they are. GNATS! Get off me! Ech! But it is not like I am a Buddha. In fact, I have no qualms with the act of murder, in some circumstances, such as stepping on a spider ewww. (Spiders, btw! : Spiders and Octopi and other 8-based brains are probably the most intelligent of all!) Although individual bugs seldom directly threaten our lives, many bugs, as a race, must be stopped. Bugs are generally happy-go-lucky, innocent individuals, lollygagging about and banging into plate glass. But when they gather en masse, they are KILLERS, I tell you. That is why it is sometimes OK to murder cute little adorable bugs. No, it's all right.... *sob*

But that is not to say that I look down upon them as deterministic little robots! Like all the popular people do! Nay! It is those amongst us, who see bugs as such, and such, WHO ARE THE TRUE IDIOTS. I mean, how can you dismiss Fruitflies-In-Love as, "Mere INSTINCTUAL behaviour..." INSTINCTUAL BEHAVIOUR? What does that even mean? "INSTINCT." It is just another convenient LABEL for saying that we understand something when we DON'T. It is just as superstitious as saying or believing that witchdoctors and totem poles rule the weather or that bankers are destroying our country.

And therefore, in dedication to bugs, I write the rest of this post the way a bug might do it if it were me...

POTATOES AND KETCHUP was the first thing I ate today. Salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley flakes - yum yum. Unfortunately, this apparently sent me into a diabetic crash an hour or two later. I've never been diagnosed with diabetes - I call it "Virtual Diabetes" - it is a complex of symptoms identical to diabetes, and part of the CFS package. But I try to tell people how serious it can be, and they don't believe me. It doesn't happen a lot - I don't know why it decided to happen today - only that my various "migraines" have the added bonus of shutting down very important body processes. Anyway, I quickly spiralled into nausea and weakness. Soon, I was in the kitchen eating anything I could.

PICKLES: It's funny - I absolutely relish relish, but I am repulsed by sweet dill pickles - which are basically unchopped sweet relish! But there's a happy end to this story. So do not fret. I recently accidentally bought some pickle spears that said "NO SUGAR" on the jar. Great. They gave no indication that they happened to be sweeter than a honeybee's knees. But they were. SO wut I did was pour out the sucralose/vinegar syrup, and filled the jar back up with lemon juice and very salty water - (saving the syrup for my beets). About a week later, I tried those pickles, and they were the most delicious things I ever tasted.

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN: After eating two sweet pickle spears, I turned my attention towards a rotisserie chicken squawking in the meat drawer, which was a nice contrast, and a pacifier for Dog. I'm not supposed to eat meat. It usually gives me diabetic crashes.

HALF A POM: Then I flew towards the half-Pomegranate sitting on the stove-top, all burnt. Now, let me tell you, there is nothing so disappointing as a Pomegranate which is not completely ripe. It's like having sex with a blow-up doll you happen to call George Bush. That is no way to eat the noble Pomegranate. So, what I does earlier dis mowning was to sit half an unripe Pomegranate on the stove and burn it. I guess it helped a little - but NOT ENOUGH! It tasted like damp campfire logs or, with some strained imagination, burnt marshmallows. So I fed the rest of it to Eve, my imaginary housekeeper.

CORN CHIPS: After that, I hauled away a big bag of tortilla corn chips to my den. They were made with sea-salt, and were COMPLETELY GLUTEN FREE YAY! But they didn't taste like corn chips, they tasted like corn FLAKES. I'm thinking of writing to Kroger's about this, when I have time and luxurious leisure in another life, presumably when I return as a horsefly.

ON BEETS AND THE MEANING OF LIFE: I have not eaten any beets today, yessir. And that may be the secret - of something. I do have a large pot of over-cooked beets awaiting pickling by me in my pickling hat. And upon them, I will shower sucralose syrup, apple-cider vinegar, salty water, lemon juice, and beet juice! And at the end of the day I shall feel ACCOMPLISHED. And me and Dog will be as happy as bugs in a rug. In a very old, damp, musty, disintegrating rug that smells of hobo piss. Anyway, I will be doing an important post on TUBERS soon, so look forward to that!!!

Even though I'm logging off now, to rest, I'm spending the better part of my day with LJ. Hopefully, some of that will include catching up on long-gone comments. Long-gone - that's an odd sounding term. Sounds like it came from DANCES WITH WOLVES.

And that, my friend,is the meaning of life. (47)

I'm just shooting in and out real fast...

I made some imitation cheddar cheese. It's not too bad. Nor is it cheese. I wanted to have soft RICE as part of the base, but the other part, the dreaded CORNMEAL, took over. Now, I can hear you radical OATS people: yelling that I should have used oats, but I don't think you people ever KNOW what you're talking about. You and your damned commercials.

One problem with EATING OUT is that the food in your fridge gets older. Microscopic beings frump and frolic from microscopic room to microscopic room. And then, if you then have to be sick for a day or two afterwards, your food gets MORE older. You could have a five gallon bucket of soup in there, and you don't know if one day soon it will greet you as ODIOUS SEWAGE. You don't know if that raw chicken in there, waiting to be boiled for the blabbing dog, will suddenly reach out and grab your heart and haul you away to some putrid HELL!

You just don't know. You don't remember. Shopping is all a distant dream. Now you're alone. Just you and this rising tidal wave of FOOD RESPONSIBILITIES! You will be called to cook at lightning speed! To cull and prune and throw half of everything away. To clean and toss and wrap and scrub and eat and eat AND EAT!!!! 'Til you're sick!

And all of your diligent shopping - where has it gotten you now? LOOK at you! Impoverished! Pleading! Licking boots in the gutter! Smiling up at me with a quivering globe of a face. Slivering away from your own FILTHY THROBBING LAIR like a desperate worm from a rotting apple, cowering amongst men and homebodies like the serpent himself! Bob! Bob the serpent... Lives down the road. Always has a pleasant word. Never thought he'd kill those tourists. Such a shame. Such a shame. *Close with dramatic music* huh?

So,what I mean to say is: I never did get around to doing much serious cooking today or yesterday. Mostly what I did was lie in bed and devise this complex friends-filter system for my LJ - which will be fun for you, cuz you'll get to take this fun quiz, (LJ poll). But another thing I did was have these half-assed thoughts:

Actually, my left hemisphere is too sore for this... More later. *night*

So, I'm spending a day recovering from MSG at Lung Fung's, eating healthnut corn chips, V8, etc. Mindless web-surfing for once, just like in the old days. Despite the fact that there is STILL a trojan in my computer which has taken over my main firewall, etc., and which keeps demanding that my computer send all its info to a certain hacker in China...

I block it for now, which means I also block firewall warnings and Microsoft Updates... And lots of harmless IPs...

But I'm trying to find a new CD burner programme that won't try to kill me like my last one did - AND CONTINUES TO DO - with its damned CDilla and assorted South Korean riffraff. All I want is to burn files and programmes so that they don't carry trojans - is that too much to ask - to not have my Messenger hijacked by Koreans, and my computer by Chinese, or to find "fbioffice" and ".gov" cookies on my computer?!"

"Samsung ROXIO / Adaptec EasyCD Creator / Direct CD"... That's what it's called. Avoid it like the plague!

Here's a CD burner I was looking at... "LONGTION Data CD Burner" - looks good! Could be a nice complement to the SONIC thing I have but am afraid to use... OK! Let's read a little bit about the company, "Longtion"...

LONGTION. "Located in the Yuhong District of Shenyang, China, the Longtion Software has been developing innovative software products for a worldwide client base since 1998. Our products are in use by thousands of corporate, government and ISV developers. "

ummmm... what other programmes does it make?........

"CONQUER". Version 1.0. "Produce tanks and command them to destroy the enemy's infrastructure!"

um... ok... i don't think i want this... ha ha ...

Well - maybe you can help me find a SAFE free CD burner. (It needs to be able to burn Windows files onto a CD to be used like a drive). Here are my choices so far:

Sonic DigitalMedia - which I have, but which doesn't have the Windows files thingie unless you pay for upgrade. Sonic has a lot of music production, Hedgehog, etc., software as well. OH WAIT - Sonic Solutions might be related to ROXIO.com! (Sonic RecordNow 7.3).

Ashampoo Burning Studio (free) - http://www.download.cnet.com/Ashampoo-Burning-Studio-Free/3000-2646_4-10776287.html - All I remember about German ASHAMPOO is they are nuts about the whole product-registry thing, and this bothered me a lot.

Cheetah - costs about $15 - http://www.download.cnet.com/Cheetah-CD-Burner/3000-2646_4-10172045.html

So i have this question... Can you schedule a music-player - e.g., WindowsMedia, RealPlayer, LastFM, Pandora, or other - to play certain CDs or songs at certain TIMES? If yes, which players? And if yes, would it be possible to use them to SCHEDULE dif online radio feeds at dif times of day?!?!?! This is kinda important! thx.

i'm supposed to have lunch w/ someone and i'm not sure i can make it - and the only reason i can think i'm ill today, (when i shouldn't be, after a 2-day migraine and rest), is because i had some corn chips last night that were processed in facilities that also process wheat/gluten. this is absolutely ridiculous. i want my money back.

btw - the title of this post actually refers to something else - the late, wet, abundant and stressful corn harvest this year

So - I have some cool things to say pretty soon, but it's garbage-night and I have to get to that, since I missed it last week - although I think they came too late for industrious moi.

Today I got mad at dog for the first time, but he's really good about respecting me when the message is clear.  I was trying to prepare to "go out", and this usually means I need a bit of space so I can think, but he kept trying to eat my feet.  I put my foot down and he became all like, "Omg - I don't actually own this place.  I'm just a bothersome intruder."  And he slinked conveniently away.  While I put on my makeup.  I'm not kidding.  There's this little thing on my face - I put someone's makeup on it to make it go away.  I feared it would be like my trojan and start appearing in new places.

Everyone I met today was very pleasant.  I went to a new bank, but didn't have my license so that didn't work, but fine.  Then I ate a salad and went to the library.  I thought I would take care of an illegitimate bill from an old credit card, but I didn't have sufficient documentation.  I paid this a long time ago but they keep hounding me.  Fine.  Then I bought some sunflower seeds and stuff and waited for the bus.  I talked to a redneck couple who said I looked like Jerry Seinfeld.  The guy said he saw Nancy Reagan shopping at Logli supermarket.  We jammered.  He said one of the bus-drivers looks like Ronald Reagan senior.  I told him that info reminded me of a Camper Van Beethoven song.  And also-too that I talked to Ron Reagan junior on the radio machine.  Then I got on the bus and the little cute black bus driver was eying me.  That's special.  And so is her small yet protrusive butt.

So I shopped at Logli on Rockton, then I caught a bus to Hilander and shopped there.  All told, I spent $300, plus the over $100 on Halloween.  That's a hell of a lot of money.  But it was all worth the 8 (fricken) pomegranates! 

Took a cab home and the cab lady yelled at me so I smiled and yelled back at her and we became fabulous friends.  It is truly a testament to my amazingness that one minute someone is yelling at me and the next I've got them carrying my groceries into my house, chatting and laughing.  But really, everyone was nice today.  Pretty much.  Because I looked like Seinfeld.  Which is odd, because I've been thinking about him lately.  Anyway, dog was happy to see me and all his new treats.  "Ruff," he said.

I had so many groceries I couldn't get the fridge door opened - fact!

I have to go now.  However, I wish to mention that I have a LJ friend who is in some serious trouble right now.  She has FMS/CFS and things are falling apart fast.  If anyone can be a friend to her, please add glitterophelia.

Also, I've been spending some time editing IP blocking lists, and it's been fun yet paradoxical and frustrating.  I don't know how long I can last, because I know this computer is infected, and so it seems, from much evidence, that there is a hacker or more getting in and changing things.  I might have to disappear again I don't know.  But it's not like I didn't expect or plan for this.  OK.  Goodnight y'all.

Oh - I never switched my clocks and so I'm still an hour ahead.  And my computer is on Central American time.  This is really working for me.  Make life as weird as you can without getting bothered.  A little weirdness keeps chupacabra away.

(When I was eating my salad, I noticed that, in the right acoustics, "My Best Friend's Girlfriend", (Cars), has a completely different riff going on, especially in the first part of the song.  I hate the cars tho).

what happens when you block loopback 127.0.01 - ?

i blocked it and everything seems fine

... other than all these chinese hackers who want me - but that's normal everyday

and woe - did you see 60 Minutes last night - about omnipresent HACKERS?! - see!  I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!

and today i heard on the Chg news channel about a "NEW" trojan that takes you to porn sites and puts kiddie porn on your comp - and so a lot of innocent people have been arrested as child molesters!

well - this ISN'T NEW!  it happened to me around 2004 or such - And i didn't get arrested, but i think my family became very distant towards me after i tried and tried to explain the new $1000 phone bill and how it was all  related to this kiddie porn thing!

so you see - i'm never letting that crap happen again!  NEVER! 

although i do act like a little kid most of the time.

but i don't even go to porn sites anymore.

i spend most my time on loopback.

Today I made some lentil stew with beans and peas, and it is good.  The last time I made this, which is my staple Indian Dahl, it was much more like wonderful burrito beans.  This time, it still has everything I need, (pepper, chili, mushrooms, carrots, onion), but it is more like a delicate (but spicy) gazpachio with subtle flavours swimming up at you like dancing porpoises.  And I think one reason for this is that I didn't use tomato paste this time, but canned whole and diced tomatoes, with some tomato sauce.  Also more dandelion.  I also tended towards more orange and licorice highlights.  Highlights is a stupid word.  So snooty.  Like it belongs in Prairie Home Companion - which, btw, was GREAT the last two times, in Bismark and Des Moines.  Speaking of the latter, see below.  Anyway, what was I talking about?  Oh, yes - having sex with porpoises - no wait...  Lentils...  There happened to be a radio show about lentils (and additional legumes) on NPR, (The Splendid Table), just after I made MY lentils.  I don't know about you, but I feel that legumes are getting far too much attention these days, and that tubers are getting squeezed out!   And green.... pepper...  was... a prominant flavour in my last Dahli batch, which I still want to add to THIS Dahli batch...  THIS one would accommodate that, plus light flavours of pineapple and green beans.  I often tend towards Moroccan when I cook...  Indian, Mexican, etc., which is why I am interested in learning about Brazilian cooking.  I think I'd like it.

I also love the four following things in combo, heavy on the everything: Onion, salt, noodles and oil.  You can go from Chinese to Ethiopian to Italian to whatever with this foundation.  But the oil has to be good.  Today I made ramen like this, with cumin, nutmeg, chili, dandelion, mushrooms, celery salt...  It was something a snail in the back yard would die for.  And it was so good, and somewhat nutty, it reminded me of something a friend made for me that included tofu, which took on a wonderful nutty taste from its oily veggie surroundings, and now I want to start doing that.  The only problem is that I never cook with tofu, I eat it all before I cook it.  mmmm... salty tofu without salmonella...

Speaking of mushrooms, I have found that they taste better if you let them sit for days and get all slippery.  Really.  They're kinda like tuna-fish that way.  (boing!)  And the white or the portabella mushrooms?  I say fuck it.  Get the cheaper big "steak" mushrooms - you don't need to slice them just break up the pre-slices with you fingers.  And a fast, easy way to cut carrots?  Bite them into slices and blow them into your pot - ha ha!  But only if you cook for yourself.

Played with big-mouthed dog today.

Speaking of Des Moines...  For some reason, my computer IP doesn't trace back to where I actually live, it traces back to Des Moines.  Then I realised that the fake city I had my LIVE JOURNAL in was ALSO Des Moines.  (I set it that way a few years ago).  So - maybe I was right about the government scanning my computer when I first got online with my new configuration.  I knew there was possibly a screen-reader going on, leaving a .gov cookie. So, maybe they read my LJ while I was posting yo.  I just think that is verrry interesting.  Anyway, now I put my LJ in SPOKANE, so good luck Uncle Samsung.  Suddenly, after realising this Des Moines surreality, I listen to A Prairie Home Companion - recorded in Des Moines!

Did you know that the Whooping Crane train has stopped here in this county, because the weather is so warm and windy, they don't want to fly south?!

I have to get myself together and accomplish much tomorrow.  I'll make a cool $150 just by opening an additional checking account.  Other stuff, more major shopping, etc.  Have also to clean a lot soon if I'm still as un-ill as I am now.  So I'll be away from the computer for a while, thank god.

You're Welcome, little guy in Des Moines.

Small-Potatoes Firm Goes Head-to-Head with Imperial Dragon over POPCORN

Asphyxiated Press: Some of us can still remember a time when popcorn was so fresh that you could almost eat it right off the cob.  With the institution of NAFTA and GATT in the Twentieth Century, however, those days are long-gone.  Gone, you might say, with the Antarctic Ice Shelf, credit cards, and that old expression, "Word!"

But one little company in Branson Missouri is determined to change that, and to bring back the old home-spun popcorn that your Uncle Flying Weevil used to make.  Formerly a micro-potato investment firm, Quantum Fartz Unlimited, with a handsome donation from the ever-dying Andy Williams, is working like the Dickens and burning the midnight oil and feeding it's workers extra broccoli, to try and make popcorn American once more.  Armed by modern shiz-bang machinery which pops each delicious kernal one at a time, thus sidestepping the International rules on mass-poppings, Quantum Fartz, headed by the esoteric T. Boone Pickens, is poised to steal the hopping mad popcorn market away from Xiang Xio Xeu Xeu, China, which currently feeds one half the planet.

In 1999, exclusive, universal popping rights were purchased by the Chinese government, and buttery popcorn ceased being popped in the United States, formerly the great dame of all things cornish.  Thereafter, all popcorn in this God-forsaken country has been imported from China, with a somewhat stale, and uniquely lead-tinged, quality.  Pickens, deflated by the failure of his scheme to sell natural gas to blubber-ladened Eskimos, hit upon the idea of purchasing several Indian Reservations in the West, where the fine art of popcorn-popping was still remembered, and where Euro-waving visitors were fattened up on the sweet-smelling manna mixed with peyote and paper pulp, quickly available as compliant pawns in the prostitution and drug trades.  On these safe "hallowed" zones, protected from many international trade restrictions, except the ones requiring Mexican farm-hands, Pickens recruited the earthly genius of Quantum Fartz with it's expertise in the booming field of micro-popping, which had formerly been applied to blue-green algae for some reason.  Now, Pickens says he has enough contracts to begin a new "popcorn invasion", which he compares to the 1960's phenomenon of the invading British Trotskyites, "Which were darned near as revolutionary as them confounded chirping bed-bugs," said Pickens, knowingly.

Following the announcement on Monday, Quantum Fartz's stock ballooned through the roof like a giant mound of hot and sexually-explicit tin-foil.  But all the gay excitement was not without its prudish detractors.  The great and honorable corporate megalith, Wal*Mart, released a statement by its perenially-deceased "Sam Walton", claiming that a lawsuit was in the works, "On behalf of all who see China as a shining beacon on the hill and a healthy alternative to American Impetuousness."  Ever since the so-called "Fuckin Popcorn Motherload," in which the W.T.O. awarded all subsequent popping rights to China in return for shaggy muffins, Wal*Mart has been doing a hefty trade exporting raw, un-popped corn kernels from the bleeding hands of Midwestern Elf-People, into the walls of China, where they are popped, mixed with available cancer-causing flavor agents, and coated with wood-stain, a preservative and hallucinogen, then shipped back to Wal*Mart in the USA.  "Why we always be so drunk?" shouted an American Elf-Person, swilling his salty concoction of Han-Pop and natural gas derivatives, after a hard day toiling in the cornfields of damnation...  "Its like we got no say in...  huh?"

It is just such retards that Quantum Fartz aims to emancipate, setting them loose once again on the already over-burdened family court systems and hillbilly TV talk shows, all the while savoring their fresh morsels of American-Made popcorn between quickly disintegrating stubs of rancid tooth enamel.

"There's a health crisis in this country," says Anwar McDamit, Executive Director of Quantum Fartz, Belgium.  "So many people are dropping like flies in corn syrup because that's basically all anyone eats anymore.  We need alternatives to diabetes and heart disease.  We need to trade in the sweets for salty, non-nutritive foods which were once widely abundant in this country.  And if that means a slight rise in Pellagra and Rickets, I'm OK with that."

"But what about the Wal*Mart suit?" asked this crafty reporter.  "What do you mean?" said McDamit, "I got this suit at Target."

"Oh, oh!" he continued, "Well, we're not afraid of that, despite the large mass of Chinese soldiers now gathering in British Columbia, ......for tea, ostensibly.  Anyway, the Chinese know that if they invade that will just bring down land values, and they can't afford to suffer that kind of loss."

NPR's "ECHOE'S" has been playing their top 200 hits all this week and last week...  it has been so so nice!  and i am rather surprised at how many of the artists i am familiar with...  this is kinda reassuring, seeing as i have lost so many brain cells this year, etc.  btw - i stopped smoking.  about three weeks ago.  i also stopped drinking, but not permanently - i'll have beers whenever.  it's just that, well, i kinda noticed i really felt like i was dying so i needed to get healthy and sleep a lot FAST or else plants would start growing out of my stomach or something odd like dat der.  anyway, check out ECHOE'S TOP TWO HUNDRED!.. .http://www.echoes.org/200Albums.html - replete with iTunes links!!!  i think i'll plug them all into Pandora and just fucking float through the winter...

but wait ...  i might BOYCOTT NPR...  See, they're opposing legislation for FM MicroRadio stations...  I wanna be a MicroRadio station - then you could cook burritos in me....

that's just silly...

i feel sooo much better about my computer's security now - after a long uphill battle.  but, according to SHIELDS UP, i may have about twenty worms and viri....  i don't care so much, after i shut down ports 135-139, WHICH I URGE YOU ALL TO DO AS WELL!  i also need to shut down Windows DCOM - but i can find a way to do that - Windows is so SUCK.  I just saw some OP named GNU and maybe i'll try it.  Anyway, all the progress i've been making on this hard-drive I can tranfer to my bigger one, since i saved all my programme set-ups on disc, etc.

now i'm going to sleep, and then order groceries and maybe go somewhere later, just to see what it looks like OUTSIDE....  hmmm.......

THE WEASEL:

first, regarding the phone caller who keeps leaving the sound of a large rifrigerator on my answering machine...  i have gotten other "dropped"(?) calls, and have been researching them - they mainly go back to a chicago company that is highly nefarious and which disquises itself in a variety of ways, and sometimes, when it DOES talk, it says it is the IRS or NRA or such.  well, Refrigerator Man MAY be a part of this scheme - or he may be someone I know - or he may be BOTH.  but focusing just on HIS fridge calls, i learn that he has called others, hanging up or asking dumb questions, asking for money, asking about a particular person, etc.  He claims to be with the ILLINOIS FEDERATION OF POLICE which only has four staff members.  HIS caller idea traces back to a zip code, 60048, dif than that of the IFP.  What I find really strange is that I read only 5 complaint comments registered on a website within the last two years, and ONE of them happened to have been entered on Oct 16 - and he had caled her the day before, at 8:45 - that is not only very close to when he called me, but Oct 15 was the same day I was picking up strange psychic feelings regarding Ashley.  I don't knoow if the complaint was FROM Ashley though, because the name give was Krys - which might be another clue.  I just think it is weird that he calls me and her at the same time, when he only has four employees, and he's asking about a particular person, (whom she doesn't mention).  I think it MIGHT be someone I know, in particular.  Someone who said he wanted to kill me, and someone who spinelessly buddies up to police.

but, it may be related instead to that other company, which i will post about later, cuz it could be of use to you if you keep getting hang-ups.




Besides QUALITY ECONOMICS, I have to connect the above to the HUGE importance of INDIVIDUAL CHOICE in my "philosophy", which would be called something like "TRANSCENDENTAL EXISTENTIALISM"...


THE FERRET!:

for now, i want to close with a discussion on The Ferret - the Ferret is a word i'm going to apply to a certain AGENCY of the USA which i don't want to mention outright cuz LJ is scanned for code words.  so, you can guess what AGENCY the FERRET is...  It is 3 letters representing 3 words...  the first word refers to our system of government, which is not CONFEDERATE.  the second word begins with B and is a kind of dresser/furniture or agency responsible for BUROCRACY!  ok - the next word begins with an I, but follows an "of" - i.e., "The ___ ___ of ___" - and the I is something ferrets or curious cats or Guy Noire or CSI like to do...  OK, got it?  From now on, whenever I say, "THE FERRET", you know I am referring to this AGENCY...  (btw, can you tell I was once really into KAFKA?)...

well... I have posted above about someone possible stalking or INVESTIGATING me - prolly just a collection agency - but the fact is that my computer has been hacked SO MANY TIMES, it is hard to believe I am NOT being followed, or being, how you say, FUCKED WITH, by somebody or some AGENCY...  SO, i started investigating THE FERRET and finding, to the best of my abilities, all of its IP ranges, so I could have my firewall block them, just like i have blocked a number of other POSSIBLE SUSPECTS.  but THE FERRET doesn't allow you to know it's IP ranges of activities, so all you can do is find whatever IP you can for, like THEFERRET.COM, THEFERRET.ORG, THEFERRET.MOBI, etc., and then block the ranges of whatever "company" is serving those web pages or IPs...  I discovered that THEFERRET has a number of IPs in UK/Germany/Holland.  (even if these aren't actually THE FERRET, i don't care, i'm blocking them, tbs).  and THEFERRET.IN (i believe) lists itself under JOHN DOE living in LA, 90210... ha!  Another thing I noticed is at least twice when i went to one of the related FERRET websites through a special viewing window, it stated that the site had updated "one second ago", which prolly means they are logging visitors, special windows or not...  Finally, of course, while i was surfing along with THE FERRET, my firewall was again shut down, so i went offline right away...

don't think i'm a criminal or anything.  THE FERRET investigates any damn thing it feels like investigating.  you can be sure of that.  and i have done some rather rad things in the past.  and for some reason, there are a few people who are just the types who would dangle my sickly body before said salivating FERRET, if only virtually.  i just want to block whomever MIGHT be fucking with me, if that's actually happening.  i have PeerGuardian2, which blocks incoming advertiser IPs, etc., through IP lists that you download - but it never lets me download the Guv't or Educational lists.  i wonder why?  well, because of the whole anti-terribleness campaign.  it is probable that the whole take-over war of the original PG2 company was in fact instigated by THE FERRET.  or that the demise of Radio For Peace was fueled by THE FERRET.  just as leaders of other countries, or perhaps of our own, have been halfassinated by THE FERRET.  THE FERRET is everywhere and it will eat you if you sneeze.  amen.

#1: Russia is being invaded by a giant toilet plunger...

Pictured: The Independence Day-shaped cloud hovering in the skies over Moscow   .. By Daily Mail Reporter

In what could have been a scene from the film Independence Day, a luminous ring-shaped cloud could be seen hovering over the city of Moscow last week.

The pale gold 'halo' could be seen above the Russian capital city's Western District on Wednesday, and was captured on film by stunned Muscovites.

Meteorologists rejected any theories of the supernatural however, calling it an optical effect.

Luminous: The pale halo-shaped cloud was hovering over Moscow on Wednesday

A spokesman from the city's weather forecast said: 'Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west – this is how the effect was produced.'

#2: There are at least a half dozen Arabic radio stations in Sydney,Australia.

#3: David Grey, Coldplay, and Hugh Laurie are all the same person, and that's why they've never performed on the same stage.

#4: China and Google are also the same person.

#6: We will finally realise that Global Warming exists when we notice the huge WAKE being made by the moon.

#7: I could have won a Nobel Prize after all.

#8: Although I completely cleaned my laptop, there's a Korean running around inside it, IM'ing in Chinese, and practicing Japanese NANBA,

#9: Someone calls my phone every day from Chicago and leaves the sound of a giant refrigerator on my answering machine.

#10: I ate my last canister of Pringles yesterday.

"DECEMBER: Loyal and generous. Sexy. Patriotic. Active in games and interactions. Impatient and hasty. Ambitious. Influential in organizations. Fun to be with. Loves to socialize. Loves praises. Loves attention. Loves to be loved. Honest and trustworthy. Not pretending. Short tempered. Changing personality. Not egotistic. Take high pride in oneself. Hates restrictions. Loves to joke. Good sense of humor. Logical".

Yep - this pretty much describes me, before i was invaded by the pod-people.  Some of it may seem untrue to people who knew me, even then, such as "LOVES TO BE LOVED", but at some early point in my life, say around the age of 4, I came to the conclusion that the world would never love me, so I became a bug and farted.  NOW SEE WHOMETH YOU ARE!!!.....

I LOVE YOO!

(There's a new mouse in this house and i've been putting off catching it). 

Anyway, the news today was that a mouse retrovirus (XMRV), (which is associated with prostate cancer), may cause CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME...

NPR REPORTS

SCIENCE NEWS

REUTERS

BTW - Last year, there was news of aNOTHER retrovirus link to CFS, MS, etc....  (HERV K-18)  A retrovirus we apparently have had in our DNA ever since we roamed the African savanahs, hunting giant herds of mice or whatnot...

And here's a great CFS site created by one man, trying to recover from this dastardly plague i lovingly refer to as Benny the Hobmonster...

cfs-recovery.org/

Although my dog was only 6 months old, he knew i had an illness infecting, esp., the left side of my brain.  The very first time he met me, he ran up and licked that area, and has continued sniffing and licking thereabouts, around my left eye, and smelling my breath with keen interest.  I could talk about this and CFS at great length, but i must happily return to my computer, which eats meh.

bring me my slippers

i'm a surfing monkey

that's right - all my paranoia and fuss about my computer being hijacked - all that time of my computer being offline - all those months of subsequent drunkenness - it was all true and well founded!

because my computer WAS hijacked - and not only THAT, it was hijacked over and over again nomatter what i did, and it actually took over EVERYTHING in my computer. that's why i can't use my last harddrive.

so yeah - got online with a new harddrive, with new tricks, and even with a new server a few days ago, BUT I GOT INFECTED AGAIN! so i have been spending days dealing with this crap...

what it is is BACKDOOR.AGENT.AHJ, which infects as soon as you're online trying to download security software to prevent it! then it starts infecting whatever you activate, ultimately your security software and your firewall AND YOU'RE OWN USER ADMNISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES! this starts as the trojan, or someone behind it, starts changing you NT USER PROFILES via the NT USER DATA MIGRATION TOOL.

THEN, or at this point, the hijacker person comes through the backdoor using the TROJAN.DOWNLOADER.AGENT.AEH.

so anyway, i'm doing all sorts of things here but i don't feel like talking about it until it's all behind me ... one day ... i dream...

but what i'll prolly end up doing is
- BUYING A ROUTER

- BUYING A NEW XP OPERATING SYSTEM DISC CUZ THIS ONE IS WORN OUT AND I CAN'T COPY IT RIGHT
- BUYING AN ENTIRE SOFTWARE SECURITY SUITE SO I DON'T HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT ONLINE AND SHOOT MYSELF IN THE ASS
- OR ELSE I'LL BUY WINDOWS 7 IF THE PRICE WORKS FOR ME

but i need to EAT

and i want to know why i was born into the one and only time when humanity happens to be confronting global climate change armageddon?

and do we only see the planets AS ROUND because human mans liked looking at boobs?

i feel so small and unable to answer these big questions
