Dream: Implant design

Another dream that just went on and on and on. I was trying to design a medical implant only because nobody else could be bothered with the task. I have no medical engineering experience but here I was, not knowing what I was doing but I had to do it immediately because the surgical team had already begun opening the patient's abdominal cavity. It's like I refused to wake up because this project was too demanding, the product of my feverish efforts needed to be done in less than ten minutes. I eventually gave up trying to invent the necessary design and just adapt the main features of an automobile transmission housing. The drive shaft casing will enclose the lower vertebral column, and the section that's for the gear assembly will contain whatever organ that's lost its outer connective tissues that prevents it from falling out of the patient's asshole.
The relief I felt at finishing the damn job was so gratifying. Now I can wake up to find myself sprawled out all over the place. Normally I don't write down my dreams but I worked so goddamn hard in this one because everyone else that was more qualified than me to build the fucking thing was too damn lazy to do it and I don't want it to have worked my ass off for nothing so here it is!

"Goddidit!" explains everything!

Let's say it comes to the world's attention that a passage from an ancient scroll was discovered to explain everything. The followers of this obscure religion point to that as evidence that their faith was the Only Truth all along:

"The great and timeless Huttabubu, after lowering His posterior, directed a large wind of flatulence to His candle which brought about an explosion of surpassing power and sound, and from that Big Bang everything above, below and in the world came to be."

Now that has greater explanatory power than "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," don't you think?? It cracks me up whenever a Christian claims to know how the Universe came to be by quoting Genesis 1:1. Guys, if you don't understand something, saying Goddidit doesn't make you look smart, but saying 'I don't know' does not make you look dumb, just honest.

Make America Smart Again!

If we're to rid society of stupidity, we should start by removing all hazard warning, caution signs & labels everywhere. Then it'll work itself out.

I know everything about Omniscience

So there.

Replacing Inadequate Public Transit with Worse

#34 was running late. If I bothered to get on I would have missed the #19 connection, the next one bringing me to church just as the service ended. Before october 2016 there was no connection; bus route 19 went straight through between St Pete and Tarpon Springs. If that was running late I would have boarded regardless. But Pinellas County replaced that and many other routes with inferior ones without as much coverage. WHY???

The Pinellas Green Light referendum was rejected by voters in November 2014. It would have meant significant improvement, plus light rail service. But most people didn't want a one-cent sales tax increase. Okay, I can understand that. Most people drive, have no need of public transit. They'd spend more of their hard-earned money for something they have no use for. I was going to say it has no impact on their lives but I'm not sure that't true. Greenlight Pinellas would have meant more people able to have jobs, and better life quality. Even if a car-owner has no friends that rely on the bus it would still make a positive impact on the community he lives in, right? Maybe not by much from his vantage, but we're all concerned about the health of our local economy.

So, we didn't get to improve it this time. Okay. But how the fuck does that justify replacing one of the most inadequate public transportation systems in the US with something worse??? When voters rejected a similar measure years ago in Arizona the county didn't make changes that would punish commuters! Are city council member here a bunch of vindictive assholes or what??? OR... the stupid in politics might make room for this.... Do they believe this will encourage people to buy cars instead of riding the bus?

Nowadays the transit system in Phoenix and surrounding areas is far better than it was when I lived there. Maybe there's hope for counties here in Florida.

I need to get a moped at least  \_( °~°)_/

a Violent Cat is a Happy Cat! ^ ••^

This time it's Ladybug chewing and slicing my hands n fingers. A nice father-daughter moment. Sure it's painful to me but hey, love hurts, right?

F*** the Pet Sematary!

As much as I love and miss my baby-boy cat Snowball, as much as I would love to have him back, I know I would not be tempted to bury him in the mysterious burial ground beyond the 'pet sematary.'
In this world created in Stephen King's novel the protagonist was in anguish over the death of his small child. But he had reason to believe that what will come out of that ground won't be his son, just as the strange and newly-feral family cat wasn't the same as before he buried it there. But he was tormented by the temptation to dig his son's body out of the town cemetery and inter it into that shadow-haunted patch of dirt deep in the woods. Once his mind rationalized that what comes back from under the earth will really be his son but with some mental or behavioral handicap, he gave in. That's the part of the story I enjoy, that human struggle we would all face in that hypothetical universe.
If I had a human child, would I have given in? Probably not. I want to say No but since I never brought another human into this world, I guess there's room for doubt.
But Snowball? It's not worth the risk of having a reanimated corpse instead of my precious child back.

btw the book was much better thanrecommende.
If you want to see an excellent movie about the struggle to overcome death, permanently, I highly recommend The Fountain. It's not in the same genre as King's novel- far from it- and it's a unique and unusual film. Enlightening even. Check it out!
