I don’t have the words in me today, so I a just going to write what I write for the next ten minutes. That, expectedly, will come in the form of…
Some Thoughts:
- My brother today brought up an interesting idea about victims and antagonists in western literature. We have a tendency to ‘purify’ our victims, making it okay to ignore their sins prior to victimization. I added that when we cannot do that we tend to think of them less as victims and more as people who ‘had it coming’. I wonder if this holds true in eastern writings. I know it impacts our day to day understanding of social norms and mores, because we get that stuff from TV.
- Trump gets his stuff from TV. The man really thought Chicago PD was how it was in Chicago. That’s drama, buddy.
- Speaking of old Gold, he’s reviving the Presidential Fitness Test. This, from a leader who even now continues to lie about his only physical fitness. Here are his published stats:
- VITAL STATISTICS:
- Age: 78 years, 10 months
- Height: 75 inches
- Weight: 224 pounds
- Resting Heart Rate: 62 beats per minute
- Blood Pressure: 128/74 mmHg
- Pulse Oximetry: 99% on room air
- Temperature: 98.6 °F
- I don’t want to sound entirely disbelieving, but the man has better stats at 78 than I do at 50. Across the board, actually. Somehow, I weigh 10 lbs more than him but lack the belly, jowls, etc. Someone is confused here. Oh, also he supposedly has 4.8 percent body fat…. I’m thinking someone misplaced that decimal point.
- Long day. Rough day. Made a mistake. Ruined the evening.
- What are you supposed to do when people are mad at you? Just wait it out?
