I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings......(Full Movie)

Double Dutch Bus (Say WHAT?)

Since Mommy was the president of Daddy's class *ahem
She named me after DaVinci's Teacher
I really wanted to call mini-me "Raven, but her initials didn't work for me.
I needed to prepare in case this guy's ego ran amok upon thinking he'd outranked me cuz I went a little I love Lusy on him....yeah, well.  He was out to see and missed Christmas, so I kept the tree up until he pulled in that spring.
When I came out of whatever put me out after the C-section...
There were all these "Huzzah's" going on and the scuttlebutt said,
"It's over"
I asked, "What'd I miss?  Did we get him?  Where's the BB1?"
(I'd made her a patch in teh parachute shop on light duty where for Yoda knows why...
((I knew why)) Officers were calling me "Ma'am".
After many corrections, in the spirit of "No, I WORK for a living", I just put up with it.  They were Ma'am-ing Daddy.
((someone mentioned you don't call your dad "father", but I kind of think he deserved it.  He did go "far-ther" than anyone I know....except ...."  Ew, I just remembered that joke!  EW!
DADDY told me a lot of stuff that had me checking my pockets AS IF!
sigh.....
Listening to Beethoven and NTOZAKE's book I couldn't have read even if I weren't raised, Black-curious.
Forget the big big "D", when it came to words,
words words....
But I wasn't allowed to hear certain things before I tried them.
kinda fux up what I learned.
I feel like I was always playing it wrong....doing it wrong, fucking it up....
remorse, remorse....
But what the hell were my options?
"Play the Game"
When it pisses them off that I know the rules, but it's not in my nature to cheat?
I always did a 360 check on myself before presenting my FUGLY ass in front of people.
Our Counselor Ben Husch saw me with my nails chipped and basically ever so done.

I was sad to hear of his passing and then remembered he told me to check back with him if need be.
(a mortal sin in my family cuz.....um...  (platitude tbd at my fucking conveeeeeeeinence)
Listening to Beethoven from Amedeus Sound Track.
I always had to wonder who was challenging me.
Someone could have saved me a lot of blood, sweat and tears had they told me Mommy2 was the highest functional alcoholic that ever BFF'd a much too early "Michelle Obama".
She drove a "Corolla", but was she Creole?
IDK, but she was the luckiest woman who ever won a degree at a K-mart Blue Light Special.
Now the net gives "Homies' more culturally accurate information than the Diploma Mills we figured would come out of that MLM for guns.
Yeah, Meeroos Punnette's squares do that to a bitch.
...frustrated beyond the telling of it.
Oh.. pulease, hedonists.,....nobody heard Daddy until he used the big BIG "G" to the "D"

Yeah, I figured out more of the whole OZ thing.
I'm only ONCE removed from Dorthy-ville so yeah, I have a right to SMDH when I roll into FARGO...  which I knew on SIGHT it was a place from which I needed to go FAR...
Billboard I'd posted somewhere, maybe, IDK...but
"THE WIZ!"
I'm like....da FUQ?!
Oh wait...  was THAT the guy from the La Salle Call Center?  Hanging out of that van, blocking the handicapped spot like a gorilla?
IDK, but after a rant about "Guitar Hero",
He was kind of a dick...
Invited me to check out Fargo and ....Chicago rose up and I got busy, I don't know.
according to my friend where they INVENTED fiber, but still don't run it to the house near
....pause for live chat with a Bobby from the Bayou

A Grid-hoppers Boost....

I thought I'd share a build on Twitter and THIS happened while I was building on Xanadu.

I believe a crime against displaying a human emotion was committed.

Iran hostages released

 OBAMACRACY!
So, this time hostages were released on President Obama's watch....
Our Navy suffered a butthurt, but we're bigger than that.  We've been here before.
(omitting the photo intentionally)

Meh. That's not even a bad day at bootcamp. We're not trained to throw our lives away for a propaganda photo-op and that puts President Obama RIGHT again for implementing a diplomatic solution! "The 80s called and it wants it's foreign policies back!"

The biggest UNIX badass I ever met was a Persian woman who's father risked his life to make sure his daughters were educated. Had it not been for his sacrifice and the Bah'ai missionaries, this lovely, intelligent woman would have been weaving rugs and her fingertips would look like this horrible manicure. ugh!
Then she would have been married off to someone domineering jerk she couldn't kick to the curb.

When Iran saw Ronny (the fake cowboy) Ray-gun stepping up to act like a president, Ayatollah waited to release the hostages on his watch after holding them for 444 days. (and the Biblical numerology was not missed by those who were into sacred geometry and the book of Numbers)
They get a little ego boost and we get to rip them to shreds on the internet as per usual, but probably unknown to those who aren't using the net as it was intended which was NOT PORN, but it is why they keep holding back the information age and making cuts in education.
How do I know? That was when they broke up the ATT/Bell Labs monopoly and Dad was OCD as the senior systems analyst on the DoD side, watching what I did with the technology. I wasn't interested in a military career OR selling guns, so it was all kinda lame. Artists/musicians were hoping for MIDI. The next thing was the S&L crisis and they bailed that out using Social Security Insurance as a slush fund. (taxed our dead parents). school vouchers, etc. and more excuses to dummy down the country. ahh yeah, I remember the work President Carter and Jesse Jackson during those 444 days quite well.
Our military was designed as a SHOW of force. And the yahoos in the Pentagon flubbed a rescue attempt. It was a hot topic with the Bobs in our extended family. Besides Dad, we had Bob Strickland, a war correspondent reporting it all and others stationed at Andrews Air Force Base and Dad was at Ft. Meade, still suffering the BS of Watergate. All of them educators or married to teachers ranting about the PG County school board which was trying to hold it's #1 status with overcrowded classrooms. Wow, I forgot how much we talked in those gas lines, during the oil embargo, but "that's the way it was" in the days of disco politics. Kids loved doing impressions of Jimmy Carter and Walter Cronkite.

Since the dawn of forever, humans have worked, studied and invested in knowing things.
but our main responsibility is to our home, which is the earth and the PEACEFUL enjoyment of it,
in harmony with it.
Our best effort is all anyone can ask of us all.
I'd like to be part of the discussion because this AGENDA always presents itself when SCIENCE has the answers to that which would inconvenience the most greedy of human kind.
It's actually very simple. 
Forget Freudian Economics, the world is sick of it, no matter what 'ism' you stick on it.
Clean air and water =good. 
Polluted air and water = bad.
All I ever wanted was to fly in the clear blue sky and go to space.
Why aren't we THERE yet?
So if x=42, and science is my legacy.
How much waste, war and DEATH do they need to justify those who dream of spaceflight,
the chance to finally go?
We've been "Good to Go" long before 1984 happened right on time.

So, we art it up!

 In work..."Deep Thot" and "Brainstorm", inspired by The Brides of Funkenstein!
