nightmare

#5 Nightmare - not Elizabeth Warren running for Democrat President, but that prospect might ruin many  normal citizens' New Year.  No, Freud got it wrong.  There are not 3 states of psychic  being -  the Id, Ego and Super Ego. No, only two exist: reality and nightmare. Way to go,  I start the New Year with the worst nightmare in memory.  My nightmare portrays personal terror so pervasive  that it could portend a revolutionary change in  my approach to reality.  I guess, the loss of  life's love and the wails of a starving kitten speak to me from some muse or oracle in the depths of my psyche.  But really, do I need a life lesson?   Do you learn from your dreams and/or nightmares?   I'm tilting my champagne glass a little higher tonight.

Beto, Elizabeth, Joe, Kamala, Corey, Hellary, Michael and  Kasich ( I know a Republican) et. al are nightmares of reality.  How is this  possible in the New Year 2019?   Sometimes the boundaries of real and unreal blur.

21

#4
Twenty-one times I flip a switch to turn on or off a light, plug in or unplug a cord at a socket, push  a button or touch to engage something as I begin another day.  21 times often as I groan to bend over. 21 - would it not be nice to regress to 21?  Would you?  You've aged into a sage when you realize that no young person of 21 listens to an adult.  Right?  A second criteria for senior status (minus any onset of dementia) is knowing that news is not news, but rather exaggeration, hyperbole, misrepresentation, withholding of information, agenda driven or politically motivated presentation and predictable lies.

Try it.  Try to hear a commercial's wording, a news report or a nanny warning in spite of voices that grate on your soul and speak so breathlessly fast as to not be understood.  The false medium is the worthless message.  So why awake to the prospect of 21 off's and on's before 1.  coffee, 2.  breakfast and 3. the news?  2  winners out of 3 candidates is not bad if you know the loser is the news.  Also, you're now old enough to ignore any 21 year old's antics.  How many kids or grand kids qualify in your world?  

Secondary

#3 Who knows the meaning of primary vs. secondary? I do!  The illegal status of the murderer of the California policeman ( law-abiding, family oriented by the way) is secondary in the Democrats' liberal left mentality.  I heard it with my own 2 ears - not plugged up by an upended world-view.  The primary issue, meaning first thing to address - really - is the fact that if HE were not here in America (again after other criminal incidents), no murder could have occurred.   So sad. So glad my senior brain has not deteriorated to such a point that I can't see through smoke from a fire of hellish  denial.

Flip today's coin or your lunch won't be worth eating.  Right?   One sweet grandchild brought us back to 1792 with a Christmas present bottle of rich bourbon.   Have you ever heard of a brandy Alexander?  If you try to drink to the end of the left,  you'll never exhaust your succession of shots of bourbon.      

Oh Oh Oh

#2 OH OH OH OH echoed with a 2nd OH OH OH OH which rhymes with "slow go" as two senior citizens attempt to go anywhere other than slowly each morning.  Does this happen to you? Don't get old mentally you tell yourselves as you admit you don't deserve ( yes you are victims) to sound off  Oh Oh Oh's each AM as your bodies shift into 1st gear.  Really, does this sound like you? And abhorrence for those who arise with vigor ready to exercise and/or just kickstart their day?

Then, dreading the slanted ( always left) local news after breakfast which always leads into  OH NO, OH NO, OH NO's.  Does this also  happen you? What is your mission in life? For what purpose were you born? Skip that question and focus on this answer - thank God I am not one of those people whose photos I see at the local police department after arrest for some crime.  OH yes, thank God.    

Two colds

                                    Unsilenced Cal is back

Two colds within 30 days around a birthday, anniversary and Christmas. Too depressing. So easy for me to get depressed. Just a biological, evolutionary curse.  Do you have one?  We all have one, of course. The birth curse. Some blissfully ignorant souls bob on in life; others like me think too much and often virtually drown.  What helps? God, I hope something helps you. A cradle Catholic, well-educated, rationally and emotionally keen – help rarely is realized.  God loves you as he loves me but …

Here’s a tip from my “sickofit” mentality. Nothing called news qualifies as news or reality. Enter an alternative world skeptical and “sickofit” all. You’ll never figure it out.
