The Schedule - Day 317
11/13/2023
Today is a beautiful day
In terms of the weather. I should unplug and go for a walk. Maybe later. It feels good to unplug. It is almost like you don’t even exist. Nobody can comment on or like and subscribe to your thoughts. Sometimes it seems like ideas I like the most arrive when I am in a place where I cannot write them down. I do not take my phone with me everywhere I go. The note taking app has proved itself unhelpful far too many times. I need to start carrying a notepad and a pen around with me.
About the note taking app; it’s only function is to record notes entered by the user. How is it possible that this thing is not useful? The most basic of functions cannot replace simple pen and paper. I am thinking of myself walking on the path right now. Not the metaphorical path, the actual path. I don’t see anything bad happening although ‘the news’ will have us believe that there are a multitude of problems to address. It seems there are, but the prices of everything is the problem one cannot escape whether you ignore ‘the news’ or not.
When the virus came in 2020 and the world shut down, if you did not have a television and you did not have the internet and were otherwise healthy, you may not have even known that there was a pandemic. It is not like people were dropping dead in the streets like the history books tell us was the case with ‘plague’ of that nature throughout history. Many businesses were shut down according to reports. I hardly seemed to notice. I guess I did not go out much, or the places I went to were still open for buying food and whatever other essential services needed to remain available.
I remember when it was announced, the great lockdown. I thought it was an exaggeration or that the panic would not last, but slowly at first and then suddenly all at once, the lockdown and then talk of ‘The Great Reset’ followed. The world shut down in 2020 and there was no pushback from the average American citizen unless you liked to attend protests which were peaceful and were occasionally interrupted by a few bad apples who saw the peaceful demonstrations as an opportunity to riot, loot and occasionally burn something down. Those events dominated the news.
Civilians in masks yelling at other civilians for not wearing them. The abstraction of the argument too stupid to even try and repeat with regard to the efficacy of masks or the idea that the people who seemingly enjoyed wearing the masks for some reason wanted the people not wearing them to die and told them as much for years leading up to 2020.
And who knew until recently that the kids love Palestine so much? The chyron of influence that makes its way through various social media channels is interesting to say the least.
And, of course, there is no ‘word count’ feature either in the notes app.
These are the kind of things that are difficult to ignore given how stupid they are. The deliberate actions of those who seek to pile on and ‘disrupt’ although they never define what that means. Some think they are referring to the white male patriarchy. Making up crimes to punish those they do not like fits right in with the bloodsport of what was regularly referred to as tyranny just a few years ago and has now just made its way into the every day atrocities of the new normal and the trial of the political opponent of the current regime. The election of the new guy, the current guy, cannot be questioned as has been decided by ‘both’ parties who are really just one party and soon to transform into something else.

Gotta give up the ghost of trying to stay informed. I hate not knowing what to do and how to constantly try and adjust to the 'new normal'.
Frozen dinner tastes like the picture on the box.
Probably a newly owned company.
But who can say?
The last time I did a search for mashed potatoes, the directory returned a picture of Katy Perry's ass.
