Home to first in like nothing flat.
My dog and I happened to be walking today and we decided to take an off-leash run around the local fenced-in baseball park. We begin by making a lap around the outside edge of the park, alternating between racing each other and play chasing. We finish the lap and come back towards home plate, when doggy suddenly notices there are some large puddles in the infield. Most noticeably there is a large one near both home plate and first base.
He sees the puddle, and there is a fraction of a second of recognition before he SPRINTS directly into the water and begins splashing around exactly as you might expect an individual to do when he is having just about the greatest time of his life. He plays in the home plate puddle and challenges me to join him. He pretend charges me and then runs back to the home plate puddle and continues to frolic...
Then... he stops... as he often does while calculating the next move... He glances at the first base puddle and is OFF WITH A FLASH.... sprinting directly down the base line at top speed.. heading for that first base puddle.....
but he doesn't go directly to the puddle, which is offset a few feet to the left of the actual base.
instead, he sprints directly down the line, directly towards the base...
as he approaches the base he LEAPS... a perfectly timed leap on the very last step, landing on the base and then using the base as a springboard to propel himself into the nearby puddle.... where he continues to frolic and invite me to join him.
i just laughed because i knew it was yet another one of those moments that i'll be thankful to have been involved in. there are several every single day.
now, did he know it was a baseball base and the game involved sprinting from home to first?
well, he has watched some baseball, and he's very, very smart. but even so, i doubt it.
i find it funny enough that this puppy loves to play and frolic in dirty puddles on baseball fields, and loves to run from home plate directly to first base instead of going directly to the next puddle he wants to play in, simply because the base is a fun, soft cushiony thingy from which to jump into the nearby puddle.
that's funny enough, and if you doubt that he knew beforehand both that it was something he wanted to do, and that it was something i would find funny, well, all i can say is i truly think you're wrong.
GOOD BOY, episode something.

"Lost River" is a dark, bizarre and interesting trip.
Liked it. Certainly found the sensibility interesting and much of the acting was top notch. Interesting directing and music.
Interesting film.
Gosling, huh? Already a more interesting director than Ben.

Not guilty by reason of Chinese software hacking.
Not my fault.

I hope that
individuals who feel that police officers are or can be victims of unfair assumptions and accusations based on small snippets of evidence potentially taken completely out of context, also are able to see that police (at least sometimes, maybe? i mean, we can agree maybe it happened once? no? well that seems unreasonable) are guilty of engaging in the same sort of destructive, presumptive, biased projection of force onto others.
because that's a significant part of their job, and it's as unfair to the victims of their unjust application of force (NAY!!! NAY i say, it's even moreso) as these new cell phone-based moments and the accompanying fallout are to police.
so like, yeah, you might have a point, but you also see how this relates to you, right?
and then you look for a moment of (potentially fairly overwhelming, but not likely) realization. if you see none, you know for sure what you're dealing with, at least for the foreseeable future. if you see such a moment, you then may go on to decide the degree to which the moment has promise as the motivation for lasting behavioral change. most of the time it will have little to none. then your really left deciding what your own abyss looks like, and will look like in the future. will it look like "tried to do the right thing, even when no one was looking" or will it not?

The Essence of the Oat
i always kind of feel bad when some of the oats get trapped in the package, never to fully realize their potential as delicious, tummy-warming oat-meal.

The Siren Call of Human Sociality
essentially you end up defining yourself in terms of social judgment scales. those scales are nearly entirely meaningless and built upon shifting sands. as such they do not represent a stable base from which to launch.
but the body is hard-wired to "like" the rush. i'm not sure anyone is capable of resisting if the call is heard early and often enough, or perhaps simply at the right moments in an individual's life.
it's as all-consuming and addictive as any hard-core drug from the moment they wake until the moment they sleep. as time goes on, the rushes get shorter and the mental toll grows.
such individuals (depending on their current state.. specifically while they are "succeeding") are often as impervious to counter-arguments as a delusional schizophrenic. of course the "delusional" aspect crosses mental illness boundaries. everybody has delusions. delusions are a survival instinct. but some delusions are in fact more equal than others.
the delusion of pleasing the mob in order to gain social status, and the delusion of the reality of a life built on such a delusion (should one be talented enough to make the first delusion survive long enough to "succeed" and even create a family) are less equal delusions than "garden variety" delusions. they are destructive delusions that cause an individual to pass through life without ever taking a moment to truly decide how he or she wants to live it. instead the person's life is carried along by the social current. it is at all times subservient to the opinions of others.
this seems to me a less equal, even morally objectionable category of delusion, and as such, one worthy of exposing in a general sense. of course, those afflicted should always be treated with compassion and respect. we need not hate the players of this game. we need not even hate the game itself. we simply need to decide if it's a good idea or a bad one and whether we want to make our opinions on that matter known.

The Simplest Gesture
when celebrities smile a really big smile in pictures with fans, an angel gets her wings.
the fact that it was the case for me has left a mark to this day.
pathetic? well, sure, but that's a bit of a judgmental term, right? is it one you are comfortable with? fair enough.
nonetheless, it's a really nice thing to do and it makes me happy even when it's someone else's picture, especially when the fan is, like, excessively normal.

but the indigo girls pretty much made me cry again with come a long way shut up why dont you try listening to it tough guy whatever alright but really its a beautiful song ahosxch
2 seconds
that's how long the refresh should take to remind you how useless many of your bad-habit time-wasting activities really are. from there you should be able to demonstrate some discipline. generally the bigger challenge is the mind control in the first step. the laziness leads to looking for easy answers which leads to predetermined conclusions and destinations (feeling a void.... there is stuff on internet... stuff must be better than void... void must be filled and void can be filled immediately before i even finish this tho... but the void isn't filled. it is simply replaced by a new, slightly larger one for which the lazy/tired mind again seeks out the easiest "solution"... and on it goes)..
just for one second, "guess" what you're going to see.
were you right?
does that tell you anything?
does that make you feel any different?
course i'm ignoring the actual first step, the acknowledgement that i, too, may actually have some time-wasting bad habits, and as such am not even close to the perfect person i have always thought i have been, an assumption that has colored darn near every decision i've made, especially in terms of when and how to judge others for falling short of my presumed standard.
but back to the initial point: guess, check, improve. and if at first you don't succeed, simply try again next time. it won't take long.

NO, you can't get violent about it,
but some people have absolutely no regard for others when they are ordering their Mexican food at Anna's.
we REALLY need different lines EVERYWHERE for people like the ARROGANT DAD who loves to play the "in control of everything" authority figure who is in NO HURRY TO COMPLETE HIS RIDICULOUSLY LONG ORDER because he KIND OF LOVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO passively-aggressively bully others in such situations because he's frustrated by how unfulfilling fatherhood is.
and then there are the others who are less particular but just painfully slow.
fixable.
perhaps we'll miss human interaction when everything is a touchscreen, but in the meantime, can we at least provide the option during peak or rush times? because the above-mentioned father with the overly intense attitude and board-like posture who appears eager to engage with everyone he interacts with to talk politics is not someone i want to be around for any longer than absolutely necessary.
but you still can't get violent about it. once you do, you of course become the only asshole on the scene.

I may have said this before
(imhstb)
but why not allow football teams to use team-wide communications in the helmets, rather than just the quarterback and coaches?
it would allow a home team's fans to be more boisterous during a home team offensive drive, rather than needing to be quiet to allow the players to be able to hear each other.
ka it could also allow for a ridiculously up-tempo offensive pace ching

Another angry loner threw a tantrum yesterday
The angry loser left a note and those who read it laughed at it before burning it.
If you're an angry loser thinking about throwing a tantrum, call xyz-xyz-wxyz to be taken to our safe area in the desert where you will be fed 3 squares a day for the rest of your life and you can freely interact with others like you or you can choose our isolation sector in which you have complete control over the frequency and type of human interactions you are exposed to.
No, this isn't some sort of veiled threat. We are simply offering you exactly that which you seek. At this point, you now have a legitimate choice, whereas before you believed you did not. Therefore there will be exactly none who have any compassion for you in any sense.

I want someone to be straight up honest and just say
"No, of course I wouldn't vote for a DH for the Hall of Fame. Please. It's not a real position and it's an insult to the game to consider such a thing."
It would be strengthened if they went further, like, "and I say this as a huge fan of the DH rather than having pitchers hit. it's just not a real position and allowing DH's to be eligible for the Hall is a slap in the face to all the guys who actually play the game. I'm especially not going to put in a legitimate cheater on top of that. So no, I wouldn't vote for a DH, and I'm certainly not going to vote for a DH who cheats."
As has been explained, the correction factor for DH's offensive numbers is 0.4, and in some cases (where more injuries are a guarantee) much less. So I may one day be proven a liar. I may have to vote for a DH at some point, because he hits 2,000 home runs and his adjusted numbers would still put him near the top of the game's history in terms of production. But thankfully that is not the case, and it's a much easier decision to keep such fraudulence out of the hallowed Hall.

in a tangentially related point.... no, not really tangential but a distant, weak, uninteresting parallel is that i feel uncomfortable about the above link because it includes encrypted text which could (or, you know, does) reveal my identity, location, bank account number and atm card pin code. it makes me more skeptical of bostonglobe.com. add to that the intrusive drop-down javascript ad on the front page and i'm like 'bleh'.
the timing is coincidental, as i recently got the adblock message regarding the acceptable ads movement and after immediately and angrily clicking the "disable" button upon hearing that the program was "enabled" by default, and immediately becoming more skeptical about adblock's motivations and practices (the dude sold, so all bets are of course off), i have already come to be excited about the movement's possibilities. at the very least, i'm curious as to the results.

Mere days after the Pope's inspiring visit, the world has reverted to form, and priorities seem to be re-seating themselves in their evolutionarily appropriate slots.
There are lots of stupid pieces of shit driving on the same roads as you. Apparently they too are God's children, but they're stupid as fuck and will NEVER behave themselves without constant monitoring. They are PIECES OF SHIT who ruin everything for everyone.
It is not viable for people to live on top of one another as we currently do. It can not sustain. We need space and we no longer have it. We have way, way, way too many people in the world. With this number of people, every one of us is forced to not only deal with but in many cases RELY on some of the dumbest fucks on the planet.
The Pope exists in a world that is not the one the rest of us inhabit. The rest of us must fight to survive because the rest of us are being stalked and preyed upon by the savages.
I almost knew it was going to happen when he was here. A rapid overcorrection in the other direction. I'll find the tipping point again as time goes on, but for now, I'm very comfortable with this approach.

Schizophrenia
is often little more than the giving up of hope for stupid or awful people.
And since that is obviously implying the intelligence level of the schizophrenic, I will state clearly for the record that that is not the actual implication, but merely the incorrect surface level one.
ie. "the giving up of hope for the meaningful and healthy interaction with what are essentially stupid or otherwise awful people."
