Thanks to Ebay, I am now the proud owner of more shit than I could move in a month. Time to sell! Have heard FeeBay are bumfucking punters even harder on the fees these days. I can't sell there any more as they ditched paypal for some "Payoneer" system which is horrifically hard to register for from non-Engrish speaking countries. Arseholez. Didn't know that. It makes sense of a lot of things. Once upon a time, I could get a good deal if I bought from PayPal only sellers. Now? It is not much of a bargain. Greed is not good, Ebay. I have just started to buy things locally, even though it is a pain in the butt in terms of driving to X place to find out that the person is full of crap. Still, same thing happens with Ebay but there is the added problem of a basement being full of crap as well. Used strobe lights aren't a bargain. I'll be getting those new. That was my big thought today. Where did my life go?

watched all the star wars spin off stuff. Andor has stood out. Don't need a working index finger to consume Disney's world domination campaign.

Watching Andor again today. Better than I thought.
Lakers won another series. Heard about that while at the art store in the center of this metropolis in the middle of nowhere.
Spring. Fun times.

Jamal Murray is from Kitchener, which is where Lennox Lewis learned how to box. It is great to read box scores and see Jamal doing well. I haven't watched any NBA game for a long time. No reason. Boring. Still, another champ from Kitchener would be great. Started watching UFC on Saturday nights. Thanks a lot world for not telling me anything about it. Somebody's kid told me about it. Pure coincidence. Glad that I was listening. The strange woman who lived with me would have loved UFC. She loved many other entertaining things so no harm done! Now, well, I try not to miss any of the fights. I would never have guessed that I would enjoy it so much. The things we learn about ourselves.

I would love to vote for a Kennedy. He swallows Falun Gong propaganda a bit too much but the US definitely needs to have its shit stirred even more.

In spite of the fact that the internet is dying and that most people I know at this point in my life detest reading anything that is not sanctioned by their ideological overlords, this site is fucking good to poke around on. Many thanks to the folks who post regularly.

Skeleton crew but messrs Sukebbe and Ladyfingers are doing the hard yards.On the other hand, zero-graft lurkers like Nealy, Ferguson and Stu, members who never post and only ever log in when I turn on that fuckkign annoying anti-guest function should be deeply, deeply ashamed of their forii freeloading. I'm just one tick away from losing patience and doing another Night Of The Long Knives non-performing account wholesale deletion on their cocks and ballz.

--GordusI saw one of those names once when I was logged in. "Stu" was what I saw. Thought of The Beatles and sudden death. You seem to be thinking along the same lines. Sukebbe and Ladyfingers respect! I have no idea what goes on in the world most of the time so checking out this forii constitutes where I determine to choose a lot of my jumping off points into issues of the world. "Members" who never post are, I suppose, indicative of so many other freeloaders in the world. I have two freeloaders living in my house. One will be leaving soon, while the other, whose mother asked me to help out her son, will be here longer term. He is learning how to be useful. Long story that I can't remember (drugs affect memory I have discovered the hard way). It's like a nation of bass players is developing all around me. Some bassists are world-changing. Most of the bassists I have played with weren't. And when I played bass, well, I just thought about playing the fucken piano instead. Off the rails as usual. Peace.

Freakazoid spider-limbed froggie Ichabod FFS wasn't Manu Ginobli about 6"6? He's just a wee fella here.

Never watch NBA but this dude looks impressive. Very fluid with the ball...fade-away jumpers even...
I had a roommate who was like 6'6" and actually Reggie Miller was in my same year at UCLA and he's like 6'8" but seven-five...

San Antonio, I hope, drafted the right guy. Hard to know. VW seems to be good at a lot of things. I do wonder whether it will take 2-3 seasons for VW to acclimate to the speed of the NBA. If he dominates immediately, I will know why I am not watching anymore. I do read stuff, though. Watched FIBA this year for the first time. Germany continues to make me wonder when its football team will get its shit together again.

Eviction coming. It turns out that I don't like to pay for other people to play video games and talk to their friends while not paying rent or looking for a job. When your wife's friend asks for a favor/favour that involves her son living in your empty room just say fuck off. SHM. I am an idiot.

If there's ONE thing that sends me into a furious tizzy it's people taking advantage of my good nature. They can give me the runaround for a while but eventually I will SNAP and they will get the hairdryer treatment.

COVID-19. Day six of self-isolation, which is a wonderful thing designed to protect me from society of course. I can breathe somewhat today. Called my mom this morning. She said that I almost sounded like myself. That was first good thing to happen in six days. How my dying wife survived COVID-19 remains a testament to her incredible strength. Fuck. She is the toughest person I have ever known. I could go on about her strength for days. Instead, I will leave it there.

Puffers. Have needed one to breathe the last while until today. Progress. COVID-19 is brutal. I will make it through. Long-term COVID-19 is now what people talk about with me. Not doctors of course. No, another group of people I have found in abundance where I live--Assholes. I am not in the mood. I'll bear that cross of long-term COVID or syphilis or whatever should I have to. Just let me be ill in relative peace. While barely able to breathe during this bout with COVID-19, I remembered why I lived in Japan. I could ignore 130 000 000 people daily and feel just fine. I had forgotten that fact. I will post it on my fridge. "Ignore the next 130 000 000 people you encounter!"

"Ignore the next 130 000 000 people you encounter!" Do you want the good news or the bad news? The good news is that 3 million people go through Shinjuku Station every day! The bad news is that you are going to have to spend the next 40 or so days running around Shinjuku Station all day to reach your target of ignoring 130 million people.

I used to stand there every single day of my six-day work week and smile about how I didn't know or need to speak to anybody. Year after year, six days a week, I would be on my way to work ignoring the lot. And, thankfully, they all ignored me. Bliss! The running around part would suck. I'd just stand in one place for 80 days, reading my books, and be done with it all.

Henry Kissinger died. Party at my house once I am asymptomatic of COVID-19. Relieved that I lived longer than that prick that never seemed to end. Johnny Ramone would be sad. Fuck me. More bombs dropped on Vietnam than in all of WWII. Not sure why any other administration ever let the guy in the Oval Office, but they ,warmongers in the common gloss, have their heroes too. Fuck me.

Scott Kempner has died. Damn. I was listening to The Del-Lords last week wondering whether he was still writing songs. So many of songs have stayed in my head forever. He was a friend of a friend. Sad to read of his death. He lived a good life, hung out with Neil Geraldo and Pat Benatar believe it or not, and wrote songs with Dion. A life well lived.

Snow, rain, snow, rain, etc. season has begun. Not exactly winter to my mind, but it IS winter here. Stupidly miserable. I will head north where it snows and the snow stays on the ground for four months. I have a generator, which cost 14, 000 dollars, due to the ice storms knocking out the electricity for hours and hours and hours in the winter. Ah, civilization!
