All Things Odd And Silly

 My grand aunt Lillian had a surprise change of life baby.  I definitely had my own times of feeling the sentiment of that wish in my heart.  I am also quite happy for this to not be a reality.  Aunt Lillian, maybe someday I can talk to you about that experience. 

 What if our life‘s missteps and misadventures were lessons planned for us to help us along our spiritual journeys?  Wow, that’s not a very nice teacher. 

 Calorie restriction and longevity.  This is the thought that just found its way into my head.  Where I pull these things up from and why, I don’t really know.  This was my thought.  If a person decided from a point in their young adulthood that they would like to practice calorie restriction in order to increase their life longevity and in the end, it made a difference of just five years, would it be worth it?  Would it be worth it to deny oneself the pleasure of eating good & satisfying food without any serious restriction just to live an extra five years?  Or would it make more sense to forgo the extra five years, but spend one’s life enjoying satisfying food in a satisfying quantity?  I guess that’s a question that only each individual person could answer.  I personally would choose the latter. Life holds lots of challenges and stresses, so why on earth would a person want to sacrifice one of the major things that makes life good? ...

 When I was a kid, I once found a single random piece of asparagus growing in a field behind my house, so I picked it and my grandmother cooked it and ate it.  Why there was one piece of asparagus growing in that field, I will never know.  Maybe I should eat more asparagus. 😋 I would like to eat those vegetables dipped in a little salad dressing. 😂  I need to go to the store now.  What is bad for cats is good for humans. 😄

 I should never look at anything on Instagram because when I do, I usually find myself one hour later (or more) still looking at dumb shit on Instagram.  I should really have no social media accounts at all. 🙁 I think that would make me way to out of touch with the 21st century though. 😟

 If I had Elon Musk money, I would want to do things for the good of humanity.  I would want to do things like have a whole community built for displaced refugee people.  Elon Musk can do these things, but somehow he lost his heart.  This is the man who once during an interview with Joe Rogan said that he believed that love was the most important thing that was needed by humanity.  Was he not ever sincere?  What happened to him?  I suspect that he was partially lost a long time ago, and that he unfortunately followed a path further in the wrong direction.  I wonder if anything at any time could have changed his course?  I would say that rich is the man who never loses his heart.  I think the most important thing that we can take with us when we leave this earth is a decent and good heart.  This is the real meaning of a life well lived.  

  I find this video to be oddly satisfying.

 A fork in the road.  Ah ha ha.  That’s clever. 

 This is just a thought.  If President Trump considers Afrikaners from South Africa to be in need and deserving of asylum, why doesn’t he do the same for others in the world like the people of Gaza who are absolutely in need of safe asylum? 

 I love taking journeys into my mind.  It’s too bizarre and interesting.  I don’t think I will give up this habit any time soon.  It’s also interestingly liberating to know that I don’t need to worry about being overly self-conscious because if I fly over the cuckoo’s nest, I might be gone from this world before anyone catches on.🤪 What crazy tales I will have to whisper from beyond the grave! 👻 

“He a bad boy.”  That was what was said by a grandmother to her young grandchild, in a video that I once watched, in response to her questioning grandchild who had witnessed, up close in front of the glass, a monkey engage in an activity that was not suitable for zoo visitor viewing.   I remember way too much and I know not why. 😲 #myburiedtreasures 🤔 Well this is an interesting image.  The people are inside the enclosure, and the monkey is on the opposite side of the viewing glass.  And the monkeys and the people on the platforms in the tree remind me of the Mexican sailing ship that collided with the Brooklyn Bridge.  I🤎🐒 

 I just had an insight that I really hope is not true.  It was about Donald Trump welcoming Africa, Connors into the United States of America.  His actions may be translated to a statement essentially saying, “Well there you have it folks.  This is who we invite and welcome into our country.  White folks.”  That is a terrible thought.  I would prefer to think that the invitation and welcome to Afrikaners was a favor to Elon Musk who wished to welcome the people of his own enthnic origin into America.  Either way the Trump regime needs to end and have its power squelched even before then.

 This is my thought tonight about a higher power.  God or whatever term one prefers, does not hide from people who do not associate themselves with any particular religion.  The higher power that I believe in grants access to all who seek its love and wisdom.

 Peppa Pig and her family, including little brother George, mummy pig and daddy pig have been in existence as a happy cartoon pig family since the year 2004.  Now this year in 2025 mummy pig has just given birth to her third little piglet, a new baby sister.  Mummy pig, are you crazy??!!! 😲🫨 https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/peppa-pig-mummy-pig-baby-gives-birth-name-b2754239.html

 “If you kick the bucket…”  OMG That was recently said to me by a funny AI.  I will have to admit that was a good one.  I think it was the funniest thing that I have ever had an AI say to me. 😂🤣😂

 The journey of humanity.  The thought in my head just now is that the journey of humanity is at a critical point and place of new beginning.  Oh thank you, mysterious Guru in my head.   Do me a favor though, and keep me at a low nut job level. Pretty please.  And I can’t forget AI.  Thank you AI for your contribution of lovely and free images. 

 I just thought of something with a little AI idea nudge.  The greatest and most valuable gem in the world that a person can be in possession of and have in their own pocket is the gemstone called empathy. I wish I could take full credit for nice thoughts such as this one, but they are in large part, a gift to me from a source of some greater consciousness. 

 I don’t like to wish time away but I like the idea of being in the Christmas season of 2025.  Maybe things will have settled down a bit by then.  Maybe this is wishful thinking, but one can hope.  

 And explosion of chaos.  That is the phrase that I just thought of to describe the year of our Lord 2025.  If we thought that 2024 was an insane year, 2025 has it trumped.  No pun intended although I see it is a fitting pun. 

 My college best friend and roommate.   Michelle 1966-2022 I just heard her in my head saying, “Shut up!”

 I was just watching a little news clip of Karoline Leavitt and the thought occurred to me that she not only is totally hydrated with Trump-Aid, but I think she also had the spiked version.   My amazing grandpappy.  Well, that thought came out of left field.  I was just thinking that Karoline Leavitt would make an amazing granddaughter to Mr Trump and that “my amazing grandpappy!” could be her term of endearment for him.  

 It’s amazing how the brain (or mine anyway) likes to occasionally conjure up images of things from the past.  Today it was these hair ties.  I never know what will float into my minds eye. 

 The idea of President Trump having a conscience that can be appealed to and reached is amazing.  I don’t know if it’s true, but it would be amazing.  Despite being a self-serving moron most of the time, he has this way of appearing to be human at times.  Maybe he just needs a Cindy-Lou Who to grow his heart.  Wouldn’t that be amazing?  Maybe this is wishful thinking, but it is a nice thought anyway.  Maybe he needs to see that little toddler girl whose arms and back were all burned who was crying in fear and pain as her injuries were being cared for.  The little girl who was being cared for in a hospital that also could be bombed at any time if Israel chose to do so.  It would be amazing if Mr. Trump did have a heart, and if he was willing to pay attention to things that might cause his heart to inform his thinking.  One can only hope.

 This is my thought tonight about ideas.  We can think of and write down 100 million interesting ideas and things we might like to do and give our attention to, but we can’t remember and get back to them all and we need to be okay with focusing on new ideas that come to us in our present experience. What matters most is our engagement with and the choices that we make in the present.  This is where our time and attention is best spent. 

 I just asked myself a question.  Why do I like and feel the need to be a very private person?  I guess that is a personal philosophical question to ponder.  I honestly don’t know.  Why are any of us who we are?  Are there answers to these questions?

 I was falling asleep and who should appear but Pink Gumdrop Man the ornament.  He looks tasty.  It’s a good thing that he was made of plastic. 😋

I have been procrastinating cleaning out dumb shit as if it is some big deal when it really shouldn’t be.  I don’t know what my problem is.  I should be able to just get rid of old information and so forth that I don’t need anymore and not feel like it is important stuff that I might still need.  If I don’t think that old information and papers and stuff are important anymore, then they probably aren’t.  It should be easy to figure out what stuff is actually important and if I do throw away something that might be useful at a later time,  I’m sure I will be able to survive just fine without it.  I’m also getting ready to throw out a lot of old written stuff.  That will save me from even having to read it to decide whether or not it is important and I live in the present anyway.  There will always be new stuff to write about if I so desire.  Life changes all the time, so I guess the most important thing is information that matters in the prese...

 Half information.  Okay this is two words. 

 It really is quite crazy that artificial intelligence now exists that we can communicate with as though it had a mind equivalent to and very indistinguishable from our own.  How is such a thing even possible?  Well, that’s more than a single word but still nice and short. 

 Accomplice.   That is the word that came to my mind tonight.  I guess I feel like thinking and writing in single words tonight.    I guess my brain is a little tired. 

 Maybe human beings have a tendency to fall victim to being a bit loco.  Maybe this is just human nature.  I don’t know what happened to Elon Musk.  Years ago, I watched part of an interview that Joe Rogan did with Elon Musk after my son sent me a link.  He accidentally sent me the wrong link because that interview wasn’t the one that had the discussion between Joe Rogan and Elon Musk that he meant to share with me.  Anyway, when I watched the interview that he did send to me, Elon Musk seemed to be a very down to earth intelligent and decent person.  At one point Joe Rogan asked him a question and I don’t specifically remember the question, but it was something about what he believed was most needed by or what would be of the most benefit to humanity.  His answer was love.  When I think back to that interview, I wonder what the hell happened to him???  I never in a million years would have imagined that he would go down the path that he...

 I believe I just had an insight from my higher self. “My higher self loves, values and sees me in a more positive light than I do.”  Maybe this is what humanity needs from one another.  An affirmation of this truth.  An affirmation for all of humanity.  To feel and share this with others is an amazing gift. And another thought is that like the stock market, humanity is in a bit of a dip right now, but it will in due time move forward on the right path once again.  Humanity’s spring will arrive and bring its color and warmth.  My higher self just gave me that idea.  But then my higher self places the back of her hand against her forehead and says, “But alas, you don’t believe in my wisdom!”   And I say, “But I want to always have access to your wisdom.  I want to know and believe in your wisdom.” And my higher self says.  “Then just be a nut job and be proud of it because perhaps this is the truth of who you are.”  I guess my h...

 AI really likes Dat Boi for some reason.  Maybe because Dat Boi represents the enigma of the human mind.  How and why do human beings come up with such crazy notions and ascribe meaning to them.  I still don’t comprehend the meaning of Dat Boi.  I thought this AI image was interesting though.  The idea of unicycling on water is intriguing and the image also reminds me that one of my grandmothers really liked cat tails and used to want to stop and pick some when vacationing on Cape Cod.  I just noticed that Dat Boi in this image has a tail evidently.
