Acceleration

The heatwave continues, now dragging on for over two months. The tropical storm due last weekend was a "no show." Just higher temperatures and more humidity ensued. Another tropical storm has been forecasted to arrive in a couple of days. Of course, heatwave equals hotties.

Typical Heatwave Hotties

The latest scientific research indicated that there's little doubt about the inevitable end of the universe. I have discussed the scenario previously in the "blog." The universe, because of its accelerating expansion, will eventually suffer from "heat death." All of the finite energy of the universe would be diffused by increasing volume and distance. Eventually the temperature of the entire universe will fall to absolute zero.

Typical Knowledgeable Hottie

Even with such knowledge readily at hand, humans continue to cling to ridiculous beliefs. Hence, the myriad problems facing humanity today. The sheer absurdity is beyond tolerable.

Typical "Smartphone" Hottie

I have commenced the partial decommissioning of the cheap "smartphone." I have scavenged the memory card and installed it in the new "smartphone." Later, I will reset the device to remove all personal account information. It will then continue on as a generic tablet computer.

Typical Summer Hottie

Fortunately, there will be no interruption of the showcase of the hotties of Summer. The transition will be seamless. So, let's continue with the hotties of Summer now, shall we?

Amalgamation

I have spent a little bit of time with the new Motorola® Moto G "smartphone." There is not much to tweak on it, but I did my best anyway. Heck, it's a minimalist device. There is absolutely no "bloatware," not even a voicemail "app." For me, it is a premium device. Of course, most people would laugh if they saw it. The Moto G obviously cannot compare to $650-plus "smartphones." Oh well.

Typical Moto G Hotties

There isn't much justification for the procurement of the Moto G aside from the fact that I can switch carriers and service plans by simply swapping out SIM cards. Oh, yes, the digitizer on the Moto G is very accurate, by the way. I am actually able to finger-type with less frustration than on the old cheap "smartphone."

Typical "Smartphone" Hottie

Oh, I don't know anymore. I don't need any of those technology gadgets. They are a "pain in the ass." Heck, I haven't even downloaded any "mainstream" flicks on the cheap "smartphone." I have only viewed five flicks this Summer.

Typical Gym Hotties

I have lost interest in my gym workouts as well. I still perform my grueling workouts daily, but I am not very enthused. I suspect that a low testosterone level (read: "low-T") is the culprit. The geriatric downhill slide is commencing.

Typical "Test" Hottie

Perhaps that explains why no hurdy-gurdy video clips have been downloaded in a long time. Low testosterone, an old codger's nightmare. And, to add insult to injury, the Vienna Sausage has refused to submit to "testing." Downhill slide. Sheesh!

Typical Healthy Hottie

I have been dining every night at the fast food joint in Hawai'i Kai. I can't say that I have been eating healthy food, what with so little money left before the default to homelessness. So, I have had to increase my daily dosage psyllium to compensate for the grease consumption.

Typical Cargo Hotties

On Sunday, while sitting in the fast food joint, I observed a large cargo van in the parking lot. The rear doors were open all the while. At first, I thought that it was a legitimate service vehicle. My curiosity, of course, was peaked. I later suspected that it was a homeless motorhome. I drove my vehicle slowly past it as I exited the parking lot. I was able to see inside the cargo van. The was a large couch flanking the left side and a few small unidentifiable possessions on the floor. The sofa was most likely a convertible sofa-bed. So, yes, it was a homeless motorhome.

Typical Summer Hottie

The detestable surveillance robot paid the "blog" another intrusive visit at 2am HST on Sunday morning. Who cares? The hotties of Summer are more important.

Assimilation

On Wednesday, I made the horrific trek by bus to the Best Buy® store in Pearl City, the only location that had the Motorola® Moto G (3rd generation) in stock. For $180 (not on sale), I acquired the unlocked version in the all-black color. I also procured a $5 SIM card for H2O Wireless® "pay and go" service. For me, that's a lot of money. However, the majority of other people, from my observations, own "smartphones" costing $650 or more. My new "smartphone" would be only "chump change" to them.

Typical Unlocked Hottie

Why didn't I decide to switch to an unlocked "smartphone" four months ago when I officially mummified the search for rental housing? The carrier monthly service charge for the last four months would have easily covered over half the cost of the new "smartphone." Well, I should mention that the new Moto G was just introduced about a week ago.

Typical "Field Trip" Hottie

Anyway, the "field trip" on the bus proved somewhat enlightening. I was able to view some of the construction work for the ridiculous light rail project. I also saw the homeless encampment at the Kapalama canal. And, to refresh my memory, I was able to peruse the unsupervised paid parking lot across from A'ala Park again, the place where my homeless buddy and I will most likely end up in our homeless motorhomes (read: beat-up minivans).

Typical "Smartphone" Hottie

By the way, the new "smartphone" is very nice. Very little "bloatware." The old cheap "smartphone" has a lot of "bloatware." Sometimes one of the useless installed "apps" randomly downloads and installs a bunch of even more useless "apps." Very annoying. Well, what was I expecting for $50? The new "smartphone," abeit not cheap, does not have that problem. Thank Molech!

Typical Summer Hottie

The cheap "smartphone" will not be decommissioned. It will continue on as a small tablet computer, that is until it stops functioning. Let's just move on to the hotties of Summer now, shall we?

Transmogrification

I have intentionally not paid for another month of service with the CDMA carrier of the locked cheap "smartphone." I have a two-month grace period before the cheap "smartphone" is rendered useless. Well, it will essentially become a small tablet computer. Nothing more, nothing less.

Typical CDMA Hottie

In the eight months of service with two different CDMA carriers and two different cheap "smartphones," I have made two phone calls, sent only a few useless text messages to unknown recipients, and used basically nothing of my data allocation. For all of that, I wasted about $400 or so.

Typical "Smartphone" Hottie

I have no use for any kind of phone. I despise the phone. Actually, no one even knows my phone number. So, I neither make or receive calls. And, because I am no longer actively searching for rental housing, the need for a cheap "smartphone" is non-existent.

Typical Replacement Hottie

I thought about replacing the cheap "smartphone" with a small tablet computer using a previously despised "other" operating system. For $80 and some change, I could acquire one immediately. However, it is still far bigger than the average "smartphone." So, the idea was immediately mummified.

Typical GSM Hottie

So, my only choice is to use the cheap "smartphone" as a tablet computer. I can disable the cellphone radio using "airplane mode." The other option is to purchase an unlocked GSM "smartphone," although it will not be cheap (i.e., under $50). I could then purchase a "pay and go" cellphone plan for $10 covering 90 days of minimal service from H2O Wireless®.

Silence, Little Lamb!

In any case, I would be required to keep a small computing device handy. All of my financial transactions are done on-line. And, only a "smartphone" is the perfect size. Sheesh! Bring on the hotties of Summer already!

Exasperation

With yet another visit by the surveillance robot on Sunday at 10:30am HST, I entertained the idea of abandoning the account associated with the "blog." An attempt to set up a new bogus account was thwarted by the need to divulge more personal information than the current account. No, thanks.

Typical Surveillance Hottie

Incidentally, I also discovered that the other operating system which resides on the cheap tablet computer that was a potential candidate for acquisition has become much more intrusive. Long story short, nearly all technology devices are betraying us. Lots of data is being transferred and stored, primarily for target advertising. Of course, more nefarious uses for the data loom beyond the horizon.

Typical Empire Hottie

Frankly, I have become extremely fatigued with nearly all aspects of life in empire. The enslavement is literally killing me. The "ownership society" is killing all of us. And, we're killing each other.

Typical Hiatus Hottie

With that said, I am contemplating a brief hiatus for the "blog," at least until homelessness becomes a way of life for me. Although, I have no idea about how I would maintain the "blog" when that event occurs.

Silence, Little Lamb!

There really is not much time left for me before the homeless decision is made by default. I am very close to depleting my allocated rental budget. I don't want to prolong the agony beyond that point.

Typical Summer Hottie

Fortunately, the hotties of Summer can provide temporary relief from the exasperating "bullshit" that I mentioned prior. Let's move toward the hiatus with more hotties of Summer now, shall we?

Mummification

There are days that I would like to mummify everything, including myself. Modern life has become extremely taxing, more so now that I am officially a senior citizen. Thus, I have been performing the mummification process in steps.

Typical Embalming Hottie

First, I locate and identify the potential cadaver. Second, I lure it into a trap and "neutralize" it. Third, I forcibly inject the embalming fluid ... Wait a minute! That's the modus operandi of Tamara Samsonova, the 79-year-old Russian serial killer "granny," who was recently arrested.

Typical Command Center Hottie

Anyway, I am setting out to mummify as many of my benign activities as possible. The biggest target is the command center of doom (read: cheap "smartphone"). It really needs to be "neutralized." Unfortunately, there is nothing else for me to do in Waimanalo in the evenings except peruse various Web sites, download a few hurdy-gurdy video clips, and compose the "blog." No social networking, thank Molech.

Typical Social Networking Hottie

I would like to mummify the "blog," but there are still too many pictures of young hotties to embed in it. Finger typing on the cheap "smartphone" is extremely tiring due to the crappy digitizer. Lots of errors. If the predictive typing was not readily available, I would have "thrown in the towel" a long time ago. Embedding pictures of young hotties is much easier.

Typical "Blog" Hottie

Yeah, that's reason for the hotties of Summer. I don't have to overburden the oversized cranium in the quest for meaningful content. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Typical Summer Hottie

So, let's continue with the hotties of Summer now, shall we? Praise be with Molech!

Trepidation

The local newspaper and one local television station have been providing extensive coverage of the on-going homeless crisis. As to be expected, a "sweep" is planned for the Kaka'ako homeless encampment early next month. There are over 300 people "squatting" there. Where will they go?

Typical Committee Hottie

In the meantime, the so-called "homeless czar," a State government bureaucrat, has been terminated. A new multi-government "committee" has now been established to tackle the homeless crisis. Once again, without any viable solutions, the authorities have resorted to "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." If the situation wasn't so pathetic, it would be funny.

Typical Draconian Hottie

Coincidentally, the generous inventories of beat-up minivans has suddenly dwindled down to nothing. Could the homeless be purchasing the minivans for use as homeless motorhomes given the increasing draconian measures being taken against them? You be the judge.

Typical Minivan Hottie

As I edge closer to homelessness, there is increasing uncertainty about what exactly is going on out on the streets. From what I can ascertain, the authorities are likely to panic and engage in foolish behavior. Violence could erupt at any time as a result of poor decisions.

Typical Summer Hottie

If ever we need the hotties of Summer, now is that time. Thank goodness for the hotties of Summer.

Typical "Smartphone" Hottie

On a side note, the command center of doom (read: cheap "smartphone") is looking pretty spiffy, what with all of the "bells and whistles" that I have enabled. Too bad that it is "on its last leg" because of abuse doled out as punishment. Sheesh!

Exhilaration

There is nothing more exhilarating than the hotties of Summer. No one is arguing against that fact. That's why the parade of hotties featured in the "blog" must continue. Call it the "hottie mandate."

Typical Mandate Hottie

I could provide a few tidbits to "spice up" the filler material, but there's no reason to expend the energy. I am already taxing myself with the arduous task of embedding the images of young hotties in the "blog." Sheesh!

Typical "Blog" Hottie

I should mention that I have continued to waste valuable time on the command center of doom (read: cheap "smartphone"). I re-enabled the basic Web browser because it does not include the irritating VibrationAPI. Then, I disabled it again. Using two separate Web browsers is ridiculous. Chrome is here to stay. I also set up BlinkFeed. I kind of like it, even though it is very limited.

Typical Command Center Hottie

And, what of the nauseating VibrationAPI? Well, I will have to manually disable JavaScript before loading any of the dubious Web sites that include nefarious "pop-up" crap or redirects. So foolish.

Typical "Pop-Up" Hottie

Well, I am done with tweaking the command center of doom. Why did I waste so much time on it? The "piece of shit" is in bad shape after the major abuse detailed previously in the "blog."

Typical Summer Hottie

Why don't we just go back to the hotties of Summer already? What else even matters?

Transportation

There are certain indicators that the island-wide bus system will soon see another fare hike. Cost-cutting measures have been recently implemented, the most obvious being the removal of all articulated buses servicing Route 1 during the weekend. The shorter buses obviously accommodate fewer people. So, the buses have been extremely crowded. For someone like me who must spend 1.5 hours (one-way) on that particular route, the experience is a nightmare.

Typical Mass Transit Hottie

Route 1 has always been troublesome. There are always endless complaints from passengers who frequent the route. Foremost, it is the route that services most immigrant stops, so many of the passengers are Filipino, Chinese, and Micronesian. The homeless also have a heavy presence since many of the free food venues are located along the route.

Typical Tenured Hottie

From the time of my brief tenure as a consultant to the management firm that oversees the bus service, I learned that Route 1 was not particularly looked upon favorably. So, retaliatory measures have often been taken to "punish" the passengers.

Typical Quality Hottie

The overall quality of bus service has most likely declined because of the financial drain caused by the ridiculous and costly light rail project. A tremendous amount of money is being dedicated to a railway transit system that will only cover 25 miles. Frankly, it is already obsolete. In any case, I will most likely not ride the bus once I enter the world of the motorhomeless.

Typical Chatty Hottie

Speaking of the bus, I have run into Mark a couple of times on the afternoon express bus heading to Hawai'i Kai. Yesterday was the first time that we had an opportunity to chat. Apparently Mark's mother passed on back in the month of May. We also discussed our current foray into senior citizenship.
Last night, I treated myself to dinner at Panda Express® ... probably the best meal of the week. My fortune cookie? "An admirer is concealing affection for you." That wouldn't be a certain fitness and training hottie who no longer is around, would it?

Typical Lightweight Hottie

Alas, I uninstalled the lightweight Web browser from the cheap smartphone." Long story short, it had a mind of it's own. I will just have to tolerate the Chrome Web browser.

Typical Summer Hottie

Well, enough of the pathetic stories. Let's move forward to the hotties of Summer now, shall we? Oh, yes, they are already here.

Communication

After much deliberation, I finally decided to mummify the wireless phone number account. Since it was affiliated with the same corporation that unleashes the surveillance robot on unsuspecting users, the decision was easy. Heck, I don't even use the regular "smartphone" service that currently costs $35 per month. Phone phobia, I suppose.

Typical Unsuspecting Hottie

I am also trying a new Web browser developer by Apus. It's a lightweight Web browser that isn't fast, doesn't render Web sites properly at times, and has few prime features. It cannot stream live video either. However, it basically works. More important, it does not include the annoying VibrationAPI that allows Web sites to trigger the cellphone vibration mode.

Typical "Smartphone" Hottie

Yes, anyone who is fatigued by the cellphone vibrating after a redirect or "pop-up" appears should consider switching to the Apus Web browser. Why do Web sites need that capability? That's a good question.

Typical "Blog" Hottie

I have also attempted to use the Apus Web browser to compose the "blog." Almost everything can be accomplished with the exception of embedding images. So, that's a major failing. Thus, the Chrome Web browser cannot be completely replaced. Sad, but true.

Typical Sisterly Hottie

I ran into Maka at the gym. He is still staying at his sister's house, but he wants out. Too much drama. Unfortunately, being homeless on the streets is becoming difficult. He also urged me to stay at the rental studio in Waimanalo for as long as possible.

Typical Healthy Hottie

I have been wondering about my homeless buddy lately. He is due back in Hawai'i on the first week of October. That is, if he makes it back here. He packed a six-month supply of the medication that he must take. I really don't know what would happen if he experienced another cardiac event or any other health issue while in Vietnam.

Typical Sheltered Hottie

If my homeless buddy does indeed return here, he will be in for a rude awakening. The homeless situation is out of control. He can no longer seek refuge in a homeless shelter. And, the new laws are making it impossible for the homeless to survive on the streets.

Typical Summer Hottie

Each day brings new challenges, actually a sickening state-of-affairs. Thank goodness for the hotties of Summer, eh? Oh, the hotties of Summer!
