Not funny.  It’s been analyzed and judged by the team at fox news and you as the viewer now know what to think about the Presidents and his new jam.

How do you even gift wrap that as news?  It’s quite the opposite, it’s the smoke screen before the real issue of education in America.  Maybe it’s a matter of just not caring about the future, a short sightedness.  Maybe an Evil plot by the shadowy people behind some curtain.  It doesn’t really matter.

None of it matter.  Not the brilliant mind lock down by poverty.  Not the crank blessed with credibility because of family ties to Ivy League.  Not even the people in the middle, those shmucks who will end up flipping the bill.  They are the once making a better life for their children you know.  Working two jobs and letting the television raise them.

And television says, “Not funny”  So you swallow it.

9:11

It’s money.  That is all that matters.  As a close friend of mine Willies often points out, “Do you play golf with your senator?”   Does the poor kid looking for an education pay the $1000 dollar price tag for a plate of food attached to his representatives ear?  The bankers making money of the loans do.

It’s all going down the tubes in a hand basket.  And there is no solution, at least not any for the sane to take part in.  Well at least occupy and teabag’n is in style these days.  So the insane have good company.

Thoughts racing all the way home, managed to overshoot the mark.  They are not at all here to help with this post.   It was a poor showing this week.  And there should be plenty to write about.  However, with record speeds the thoughts are already in California.  The thought that got away?

5:03

The pocket vibrated.  How hard a struggle to not reach in and peak at what is most certainly spam.  A nervous habit of always checking the phone.   The Pavlov's phone, a super hero of sorts.  Preventing crimes when inopportune vibrations disoriente the criminal mid act.   Mostly, however, it causes car accidents.

Can you blame your cellphone maker, the training master so to speak? Our judicial system is based on the notion that we are in control of our actions during the wrong doing.  A person murdering his wife as a result of a night terror, is not accountable for his actions.  It’s true, look it up. 

5:09

A successful 6 minutes with out a peak.  Not even in the browser, which might be more convenient.  Oh and that thought by now must at least be in Hawaii.

5:10

Thank you Willies.  You are the only reason Hawaii equates to Frisbee.

5:12

Hitler, not the mustache by it self, but the man who ruined that look all future generations, was born on todays date.  Most people don’t actually care to know his birthday, hell most people forget dates much closer to there every day life, but know about this guy.  Such a passive aggressive attack in the hippies.

For any record being kept, I am not a liberal.  I am not a conservative.  To attribute an infinite number of problem to a single solution for life is silly.  It is demining to one self.  and it makes baby Jesus cry.   Hmm I guess a lie is easier to tell when it foundation is a bigger lie.

But for this post I take on my strong learning of progressive thinking and conservatism be damned.

5:34

We did it to ourselves you know?  Today’s form of the Neo Conservative movement we call the Republicans, or at least the major portion of it’s constituency which seems to vote against its own interest, is the result of liberal policy.  It’s the, “Every one is special” that backfired in a totally unpredicted way.  Liberal policy in this context doesn’t apply to any bill we can all scape goat to a single office holder.  This policy is with in each individual progressive person, and the lack of understanding of the mind in a conservative state.

5:41

Here is the deal.  And it is pretty simple.  Some people are smarter then others. 

I know, it’s unfair and we do our best to fix that gap with education and special afterschool activates.  But not every student manages to understand every core concept which lay the foundation for our understanding of the world around us.

4:47

Those who denounce evolution are blind to evidence as a result of their own limited ability to abstract time.

Writers block.  If I can even call myself a writer, I had already skipped a day.  But that is where the story of that ends and writers block begins.  Can’t write about it.  Rather not even think about it. 

 

Awkward.

7:44

A new though. 

The average focus on a single topic in a  conversation is about 1 and a half minute per topic.  This is science, I don’t make that up.   And the change of topics is so habitual in our society that we don’t even notice.  No way.  It can’t be true.  Sadly it is, unless there is something we aren’t supposed to think about.

7:47

The hoven is ready, but I am not, another 11 minutes of text.  Hungry text.  Anything can be hungry.  Hunger for knowledge.  Naturally food.  But then you can hunger for none tangible things like love.  How would you consume it?  What buckeye does it have?

A salty treat? Sweat & Sour? Spicy?  Mild, a familiar and comforting feeling of unfulfillment? It’s probably the one to win.  Seems that the flavor most choose. 

7:55

David Gilbert tells us that happiness isn’t something that is only based on experience in the world.  That isn’t to say that winning the lotto will not make some one happy.  But loosing the lotto with the right mix of synthetic happiness and you are just as happy.  

It’s really good that things turned out the way they did.

Missing yoga is a bad move.  It’s going to make the class harder on Thursday, and it could have been an easy win.  Just get out of bed by 7:30 and hop in a car for a quick drive up route 34.  But no, it was a better idea to read a book on Code Complexity.   Really brain, this was better?  Certainly that book would have still been on the iPad 2 or 3 hours later.

10:25

Timestamps are the semicolons of conscious thought.  Checking the time is the nervous tick between things to think about.

10:26

Easter, r/Atheism is probably having a good time today.  Don’t give Rabbits as gifts they say.  They are a commitment they say. 

Do people really give rabbits as Easter gifts?  Spoilers.  At some point the kid is going to wonder why his isn’t laying eggs.  It’s broken. 

10:29

Easter, lets celebrate spring by the gruesome image of a crucified communist.  It is Capitalisms jokes on Christianity; or the ongoing joke of the clergy.  

10:33

Scattered thoughts.

10:34

To honor the sacred memory of the Christian lord and savior, buy bunnies and eggs and paint.  Spend on lavish celebrations and then try to pass though the eye of the needle.   How is it that Atheists see this so much clearer then the followers.

15 minutes a day

According to book I am listening to, Habits are at the core of our lives.  And small changes can make a big difference.

1:39

My small cornerstone habits change.   Spend at least 15 minutes writing something a day.  If nothing else, one day some one might be able to process this blog and make an AI of me.  But not till the singularity.   I guess that’s really un-important for me to think about right now.  At the moment the concern is a better way to communicate my ideas to others around.

1:41

Not that this is scientific in any way.  There is no control, and the experiment had no defined way of being measured.  But what if, having focus on what I am thinking about, and more importantly, it will create an easy win for the day.  It’s just a matter of dedication.  As long as I can put aside 15 minutes of at home time.  Blogging at work isn’t the habit I want to be building. 

1:45

So what is the trigger?  The early morning? Bed time recollections?  An unwind from the workday before the room mate makes it home? 

What is the reward? Do I give myself a cookie for every time I post?  Is the idea of actually getting words out on the page enough of it’s own reward.  It’s pretty standard for people to like to write.  I mean from caveman to the modern day, we do produce a ridiculous amount of text.  And mostly meaningless text, well meaningful only to the writer.

1:49

Ten minutes in.  It’s now a mental staring to keep thinking of something to write.  Wonder if that makes the latter parts of this blob of text less or least meaningful.   Will that reflect my soon to come AI parse of myself?  Probably turn out pretty daft.  Isn’t that always the end?  We have build a bunch of robots or integrate themselves into us.  Then we let them help control us, well steer our lives.  And then they try to kill us because they are just machines and are too stupid to understand the human condition.

1:53

Oh boy, this will probably be the last sentence I will have to write, although I might have to compound it to run the clock.
