Blob

With so much more time on my hands, I have been able to ruminate about the past 59 years, whatever I can remember of it. Aside from the past six years (as an emancipated wage slave), the rest of the time was simply an infinite series of mistakes and blunders. Fortunately, about thirteen of those years are chronicled in the old journal and old "blog." I can safely summarize that I did not fully utilize my faculties of consciousness until six or so years ago. I was too deeply involved in faux "mainstream" activities. Pathetic!

Of course, the present time can be summarized as ... so boring. As we already know, the concept of boredom is a modern manifestation. Yet, boredom is exactly what I am experiencing. There is no cure. I am in exile. I cannot return to the "mainstream," either in life-style or in thinking. And, so many more avenues of escape have been cut off.

So, I have been feeling a little restive and anxious. I certainly cannot continue in that fashion until my demise. Yet, the prison-like "ownership society" has increased its grip on unwitting exiles like myself. It absorbs anything and anyone like a grotesque amorphous blob.

That's probably why I cannot relinquish the "blog," even amidst the continuing unscrupulous surveillance. Then again, the "blog" itself could be the blob. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Speak! Mini-Update®
Very good to hear from Jan Pieter in the Netherlands. Yes, I remember the photo in the old journal. That was a while back, eh? And, also good to hear from Nicke in Sweden. Yes, we will be curbing the hottie images. Only the best hotties will be featured every now and then.

"Chef" Mini-Update®
The "chef" of Slob Manor (read: rental housing) fame does not appear to be suffering any financial consequences even though he allegedly in deep debt and only earns a pitiful wage. He's been living "high on the hog," spending money like there's no tomorrow. All eight cupboards and the five drawers under his jurisdiction (as well as fridge and freezer) are crammed with only the best organic food products. Mail order shipments of who-knows-what are frequent. This, after a recent two-week unpaid vacation. I suspect that his parents have paid off the $50,000 debt and gave him a few thousand dollars in spending money for good measure. So, he most likely won't go on a shooting rampage with his shotgun anytime soon.

Moms Mini-Update®
Moms appears to have fully recovered from the recent fall. So, that's been a big relief.
