Things That Never Made It Into Print ... But still

Was I thinking about writing a film review or something else caught my attention while watching The Blacklist? Guess I’ll never know since latest Pages update has been a nightmare and better suited for Horror Film reviews, but I can’t remember now what it was because I lost my way home.

(Mixed Draft) Moments of Frustration Madness and Confusion random words witnessing destruction of species madness confusion Slaughter Dark Clouds Earth must be delighted to be rid of us Random day who knows when who knows where Wondering while waiting for your cappuccino Who will survive BOMB (Not on WordPress. Edited here after post. Friday Jan 9)

Moments of Frustration Internet Garbage … random words, witnessing destruction of our species, confusion. Clouds. Slaughter. Earth must be delighted to be rid of us. Random day… who knows when? Who knows where… BOMB!

Doesn’t matter where. Instrument of madness, chaos, horrors. Obsessions. Omen of black skies. Basements. Medication non-compliant. Accidentally, kills people (thank god) (mostly). Obsessed. Clumsy Ballerina. She’s’ a “YIKES!” character in (French, of course.) What century is she in now? Psychotic? They all are. Right. 15th century tribal leader. Be prepared to experience never before. Leaping.…

Poets use alliteration a lot. It’s a language. Another characteristic of writers is “The Proofreading Obsession Affliction” (TPOA), looking at the same sentence over and over, taking a break, thinking you’re done, shutting your eyes for prolonged periods, placing your hands on your temples while doing so, but aren’t, rewriting it again and again, dazed, losing track of time, forgetting you’re…

Found one comment particularly interesting. No horror, not scary, boring but watchable. Obviously each person reacts differently. However, I couldn’t disagree more. The moment Miriam opens the door and lets this stranger into her home was chilling. His eyes were sharply focused and untrustworthy. He was the harbinger of danger. Once inside, he makes his first sexual advance towards her, leans…

What better way to cope with stress than take a cruise to the magnificent Greek Islands? The Israelis are on holiday. However, protesters — probably an 8th of those on the impressive cruise ship — perhaps a covert mission to first invade the islands then the mainland? However, Greek citizens clearly demonstrate they do not want these sojourners to mark their land. Ultimately, the Greek government…

There must be somewhere where we can send Israelis… But who would ever want terrorists on their soil? I have a solution. There’s lots of open land in Iowa. Israelis can claim religious persecution to seek political asylum and officially become settlers. It’s an existential crisis for them. However, Israelis would also demand tax-free status, exemption, because they are technically a religious…

Don’t have an obsessive personality except in one area — with words. I write something, even a brief paragraph, like here, then edit and go back to make sure I’ve cleared whatever doesn’t belong there. I do this several times. My concern is the slightest deviation that may compromise the text, such as between an “and” and “the.” I do this — just to make sure. And then I keep reading — don’t know…

CONDITIONS FOR PEACE AGREEMENT 1. Israel must assure Netanyahu will be equipped with wide leather collar when walked to discern bloods levels of aggression. 2. Netanyahu’s aggression will be limited to war games with GI-Joe. 3. Out of concern for safety of pets, Netanyahu will not be allowed to interact with animals. To Be Continued…

For being. Critical junctures. Mostly to help. A Warning that could not be dismissed or ignored Yet ignored by thousands of humans, like me. Like the time I was on the wrong street? Light was red, left turn lane of wrong street Easily As many roosted at that intersection during the day, hunting for any semblance of hypocrisy or moral depravity — who knows? there too — hundreds — Impatiently…

Whoa. Intense. This one’s beyond my speed. Slow down. Hit the switch. Bye, bye? Ok.

I wonder what the most vulnerable spot when boxing your opponent? Is it head? Or is it the breathing apparatus? (Sound right?) nope. Not yet.

When you’re really out of it… I seldom use Siri because I’m ambivalent about it. I need to read more about it — which I haven’t yet. However, it is useful for minor tasks. (Have you ever read the conditions for using Apple software? Most people simply click “agree,” as they are eager to use the software. I’ve done it repeatedly.) The conditions for using Apple software are — at least 10 pages…

⁃ do not want to spend time writing this stuff. this distraction prevents me from what i came here to do — write. all that talk about intuitiveness? so much minute (wont automatically correct word i chose for this spot. even if i spell it, it still trashes it and replaces with what it thinks you’re writing. in others cases will not automatically correct words, you know, the expedient task of…

Tried to publish photo I took, but WP wouldn’t publish it. They said I had reached my quota for images. Now I don’t know what that means exactly. Does this refer to cumulative data rom the day I joined WP in 2009? Does this mean WP considers me a freeloader? Or because those poor souls, like artists, don’t have the resources to help WP promote its monetization policies are a drag on WP? Is this…

This person was sleeping on the street when I first noticed him. The monolith behind him was the Enoch Pratt library. Unfortunately I didn’t shoot that sequence. He carefully folded the plastic sheet that buffered him from the concrete and then began packing. After all, the street sign identified this as No Stopping zone, and below that, a Pay to Park location. This probably referred to spot a…
