Got Abbey's bus pass and got her parking ticket paid off yesterday. Fell asleep around 5ish, I wanna say?
Woke up at about 1a. Hopefully I can stay up until dark and ease into a responsible sleep schedule before the New Year.

Fall Down Seven Times, Stand Up Eight
 |
| "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." |
Dad, dad, dad... I can hear you, but has your voice grown so dim? Or perhaps has mine grown too loud?
What a night.
Abbey gets home and takes me out to the Brookline Pub. We get hit on, multiple times, NATCHY, and like the nice kiddos that we are we build egos and grant confidence. Oh you sweettalker. Oh you charmer. Oh stop.
We got a free fuckin' bucket o' burr. Miller High Life. Me fav. Hoagies n' beers. Man... this is the fuckin' life fo sho... BUTT it doesn't stop there. See what I did there? Butt? HAHA. Get it?! Like 'but,' butt with two Ts. I'm so fummy. Anyhoo, YOGABUTTS. ALL OUT ON DISPLAY. Barbell pierced nipples on perky little jiggly titties unencumbered by bras... I am so fucking lucky to have a girlfriend that's almost as big of a pervert as me... Older woman wanted Abbey, blatantly. Two young bi or gay bartenders wanted her, OBVIOUSLY, we both had our share of attention from the dudely type but I shared just one bartender with her, the other being a crush by me but clearly crushing on Abs -only- and then a few other (what can I say) lovely young lasses that seemed to fancy gaining my attention and maintain eye contact while engaging in probing conversation.
"Time is on your side so use it wisely to bring others with you on your rise to the top."
I keep hearing this in my head over and over...
七転八起
"It should be 七転び八起き (nana korobi ya oki), but if you want it more concise you could make it 七転八起(sichi ten hatsu ki).
Note:
七 (seven) is pronounced in either nana or sichi.
転 (fall, rotate ...) in either koro(bu) or ten.
八 (eight) in either ya or hachi/hatsu.
起 (rise, stand up ...) in either oki(ru) or qui.
The second one (七転八起) is made up of only Chinese characters, and in this case the different pronunciation is applied to each character, while conveying exactly the same meaning."
弱肉強食 -- (jaku niku kyō shoku)
Literally: The weak are meat; the strong eat.
Meaning: Survival of the fittest.
I need some friends. A team.
Do you want to be on my team?
Oh look! Another beer... how'd this get in my pocket... tee hee... teeheehee... don't worry. It was from the free bucket, that we free-paid for. The one bartender girl brought me another special ($2.25) Coor's Light without my directly asking and then "accidentally" left our bucket of 5 High Lifes (High Lives? - It's a brand though... High Life... plural should be High Lifes... as wrong as that may seem...) off the bill? I'd asked for the bucket shortly after she'd replaced my empty so methinx she felt bad for bringing another without asking what I'd like or if I was done... No harm done though, leaving both the 3rd beer and the entire off the bucket won her a delicious tip and the aim of casual returned service.
*Dane Cook voice a la girls who "just need to dance"* I JUST NEED TO WRITE. I just need it out of me. I don't know how much longer I can let paranoia and past instances of plagiary and thievery beguile me from releasing my secrets into record.
shit. i'm too tired (11:08 -- Abbey's Birthday Hour/Minute) i'ma cuddle up behind her and go asweepies... can't decide if should publish this now and edit tomorrow or edit tomorrow and publish then... perhaps shower........ yes..... shower........
OH SHIT. I HEARD MY AMIIBO ALERT BEEP FROM NOWINSTOCK.NET.
Got a hit for an in stock at Target... for Jiggly puff, initial investigation reveals little, further investigation pending shower...
4.6.15 -- Happy 21st Birthday, Jacob!!
4.7 -- frying fish at 4am. What else would I be doing?
4.7 - 5:56p -- Am I falling behind? Is this too disjointed? Will I be able to edit it together? -SHOULD- I? Why should I?
Listening to 'The Moonlight Sonata.' My all time favorite piece of classical music with 'A Night On Bald Mountain' a very close second.
Windows are open. Fans are on. Most dishes are done. The kitchen is mostly clean. There's still two portions of fried fish in the fridge for later.
I hope Abbey enjoyed her fried mushrooms! ^_______^
Talked with Channing last night. Always what the doctor ordered. Man, I gotta hang out with that kid more.
"Wa (和) or harmony, then, is a key value in Japanese society. One can indeed live a life in the pursuit of individual happiness and self-actualization while at the same time living a life that values being a part of a community and contributing to the society in which one lives."

Or...
Pre-New Year Resolutions.
8:15a. Just finally dragging myself out of bed to go to the bathroom, been holding it in not just to milk sleep but also to jot a few fots dahn. Will enter them into this entry upon returning.
I want to fly.
Slow down, quiet down, focus.

Attempt to exchange Greninja, if inapplicable then returned.
** IAmA - AMA - Jesus ver. ** Haha, yeah right!
Got distracted by Mr. Internets as per usual.
9:55a - Going out to smoke aforementioned cig now.
Kinda tired, thought about napping, but life is thankfully keeping me up and awake all on its own. Tryin' hard to surf the wave and ride the momentum....
Gonna finish readin' this one article and then maybe gear up for adventure...
Mr. Tumblrs, you are so distracting!
Talking to my sister via fb messaging about my Uncle Randy's recent passing is really helping me cope with it more. I'm shook and I can seem to focus.

4.3 -- AMIIBO HUNTER 「アミーボ ハンター」 -- 5.29 Release Date Confirmed for Wave 4, July for Wave 5, Wave 6 coming in September
**********[5.29.15 Release Date: CONFIRMED]**********
 |
| Pac-Man |
 |
| Wario |
 |
| Robin |
 |
| Lucina |
It would also appear that Best Buy is going to be my best bet. A quick lil wiki-search led to me to the intel that GameStop will be featuring Ness as its exclusive amiibo during the wave 5 release, however GS themselves do not seem to feature this information on their website.

| Jigglypuff |
Oh shit! Jigglypuff seems to be a Target exclusive -AND- is going to be available for pre-order! Hurrah! Praise Arceus!
 |
| Jigglypuff 「プリン」 |
Greninja is looking to be a Toys R Us exclusive and pre-orders are looking to currently be sold out..
 |
| Greninja |
Very nice. Lots of time to save, lots of time to plan. It would be really nice to be gainfully employed by then and to be able to afford these on my own...
Also, Lucas has been confirmed as DLC along with the previously known Mewtwo DLC.
Dark Pit and Palutena have been announced for a July release. Ganondorf, Zero-Suit Samus (both of which combined rival the anticipation I had for the Captain Falcon release,) Bowser, Jr., Dr. Mario, and Olimar & Pikmin are all slated for September release supposedly.

"Police officers are typically dressed out in black Gestapo-like uniforms with long overcoats and wearing motorcycle helmets that serve to not only protect the head but to also obfuscate the officers' identities. Through making the police more anonymous an instant distance is created between them and regular citizens, especially the considered enemies of the state, who are simply: people who are still able to feel..."
"Ordo Ab Chao - Deus meumque Jus"
"When you are even with an opponent, it is essential to keep thinking of stabbing him in the face with the tip of your sword in the intervals between the opponent's sword blows and your own sword blows. When you have the intention of stabbing your opponent in the face, he will try to get both his face and body out of the way. In the midst of battle, as soon as an opponent tries to get out of the way, you have already won. Therefore it is imperative not to forget the technique of "stabbing the face." -- Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵, c. 1584 – June 13, 1645), also known as Shinmen Takezō, Miyamoto Bennosuke or, by his Buddhist name, Niten Dōraku.

"You tenacious Goats are famous for climbing with even more determination when the going gets tougher, as if you want to prove that nothing will stop you from reaching the top. Nevertheless, it's challenging to concentrate now if you want to explore every opportunity that arises. Ironically, you might even appear more scattered than you actually are. There's a diabolical method to your madness today, so don't let anyone plant a seed of doubt in your mind.

So I feel good, more or less, now what?
What's the point of feeling good or of endeavoring so hard to make yourself feel good if there's nothing to be done upon reaching that state?
Helping people in such a way as to embodying "teaching a man to fish" vs. giving him fish.
Making people laugh.
I am here to make you smile.
When you bake a pizza, you eat it.
When you pack a bowl, you smoke it.
When you make happiness, you share it.
There is a sort of 'guilt' or 'shame' that comes with feeling remarkably good. A nagging sense of inadequacy at an inability to transmit the sensation to others. When you are truly happy, you make others happy as well.
When you make others happy, you are truly happy.

3.26RO - “For some reason, you will no longer be the person you believed you once were. You'll detect slow and subtle shifts going on all around you, more importantly, shifts in you. Worse, you'll realize it's always been shifting, like a shimmer of sorts, a vast shimmer, only dark like a room. But you won't understand why or how.”
3.26 - "Something profound is coming down the road and as hard as you try to get out of the way, you cannot. Thankfully, physical harm is not likely, yet you may be confronted with the wide gulf between you and your loved ones now. This isn't the time to force a resolution between two people who respond very differently. Instead, stay aware of the feelings that arise, for they reveal where there is work still to be done. Listen to your heart and the mystery will solve itself in its own time."
3.30-4:22pm -- "You are still enjoying the sweet benefits of lovely Venus skipping through your 5th House of Spontaneity. Your involvement in a significant creative project or a new romance may be intensifying, and you're tempted to go overboard as you try to give the performance of your life. This can be quite a memorable day as long as you don't struggle to accomplish the impossible. It's better to thoroughly explore one feeling today than to pursue several different options."

*Star-Fire voice* "Four hundred and twenty."
Editing, editing... Hoping that amiibo announcement yesterday wasn't a -CRUEL- joke by Nintendo. NOT FUNNY.
4:22p - one of my favorite times of day. 8:22 taking the cake normally. 2:28 a fun close runner up.
Cleaned up a good bit already. Should certainly and will certainly clean more. My life is a mess. Gotta streamline e-mails, social media, stored media, physical media, clothing, furniture, STREAMLINE STREAMLINE STREAMLINE.
So yes then, promptly putting things away, organizing and/or cleaning them, and one of my favorites, getting rid of things! I need to get rid of things!
I need to be more mobile and liquid. I shall endeavor to make as much of my physical possessions liquid assets as possible.

Finally finished Jackie Brown with Abbey last night. I hate watching movies broken up into parts, but I love that I finally got to share one of Quentin's best ever with her.
10:55am
Got a lot accomplished before 10am today. Feeling quite accomplished and rather proud.
A while back our commode chain (the part from the inside of the handle to the plug that pulls up to drain the water into the tank) broke and we'd been lazily using a cleverly placed hanger as a poor substitute. As always seems to be the case in my life, 'Ask and Ye Shall Receive.' Someone, a neighbor, had decided to replace a toilet, apparently, and conveniently enough, happened to leave the old one near our trash. So after kissing Abbey goodbye and seeing her off to work, I ran back upstairs to grab some pliers and then came back down and harvested the chain and the handle. Shortly thereafter I installed them, and bada-bing we have a working handle flush toilet again. Did you hear that? I think I just grew another chest hair. That and/or my beard just got a little longer. Either way, my 'man points' significantly increased today, that's for sure. [+50 to: 'Man Points'] I'm a regular Handy-Man. :)
That's not all, I also cleaned the toilet, the sink, and scrubbed the tub as well.
Dishes are just about done, counter is clean, table is clean, game room is clean, rotated the rug and the coffee table, bedroom is clean.
Should be a nice surprise for her to return home to. ^_______^

4.3 - You might try to keep your shrewdly calculating nature in check today, but you can't stop thinking about how to distinguish yourself from the pack. Your ambitions run strong while the evocative Moon is back in your 10th House of Career, bringing out your innate affinity for climbing the ladder of success. However, if you realize that you're being overly aggressive at work, consciously pull in your energy so you can regain a healthier perspective. Time is on your side so use it wisely to bring others with you on your rise to the top.

Cleaned up a good bit already. Should certainly and will certainly clean more. My life is a mess. Gotta streamline e-mails, social media, stored media, physical media, clothing, furniture, STREAMLINE STREAMLINE STREAMLINE.
So yes then, promptly putting things away, organizing and/or cleaning them, and one of my favorites, getting rid of things! I need to get rid of things!
I need to be more mobile and liquid. I shall endeavor to make as much of my physical possessions liquid assets as possible.
Umbrella, backpack, hat, gloves, scarf, topcoat, undercoat, cardigan, t, thermal, tank, underarmour, belt, underwear, underarmour, knee high toe sox, athletic shorts, black jeans, rowdy, robust, rough n' tumble Vibrams.

Finally finished Jackie Brown with Abbey last night. I hate watching movies broken up into parts, but I love that I finally got to share one of Quentin's best ever with her.
10:55am
Got a lot accomplished before 10am today. Feeling quite accomplished and rather proud.
A while back our commode chain (the part from the inside of the handle to the plug that pulls up to drain the water into the tank) broke and we'd been lazily using a cleverly placed hanger as a poor substitute. As always seems to be the case in my life, 'Ask and Ye Shall Receive.' Someone, a neighbor, had decided to replace a toilet, apparently, and conveniently enough, happened to leave the old one near our trash. So after kissing Abbey goodbye and seeing her off to work, I ran back upstairs to grab some pliers and then came back down and harvested the chain and the handle. Shortly thereafter I installed them, and bada-bing we have a working handle flush toilet again. Did you hear that? I think I just grew another chest hair. That and/or my beard just got a little longer. Either way, my 'man points' significantly increased today, that's for sure. [+50 to: 'Man Points'] I'm a regular Handy-Man. :)
That's not all, I also cleaned the toilet, the sink, and scrubbed the tub as well.
Dishes are just about done, counter is clean, table is clean, game room is clean, rotated the rug and the coffee table, bedroom is clean.
Should be a nice surprise for her to return home to. ^_______^

4.3 - You might try to keep your shrewdly calculating nature in check today, but you can't stop thinking about how to distinguish yourself from the pack. Your ambitions run strong while the evocative Moon is back in your 10th House of Career, bringing out your innate affinity for climbing the ladder of success. However, if you realize that you're being overly aggressive at work, consciously pull in your energy so you can regain a healthier perspective. Time is on your side so use it wisely to bring others with you on your rise to the top.

3.21.15 - Spiritual Colorblindness
What if I told you there was a whole world of "color" out there that you weren't able to see? Well, naturally, being a part of our "I'll believe it when I see it." culture, you likely wouldn't believe me.
What if I told you that "color" and "colorblindness" were mere metaphors and symbols for an entire realm of perception just beyond your grasp?
Would you believe me?
Would you trust me?
How could you know if there were no linguistic way to communicate it to you and no possible way of direct perception?
I ask you to put on these "Special Glasses" and to learn to see the world the way that I do. Connected. One. More uniting us than dividing us. Where the majority typically perceive separateness and division, I only see unity. Moreover, I have no clue how this is not 1) painfully blatantly obvious to everyone else and 2) I have no clue how to effectively transmit my perception to those not already in possession of it.
It's going to take a leap of faith.
You're just going to have to believe...
Maybe one day, you will see...
Until then, you're just going to have to take my word for it.

"The innocent side of love is captivating to you these days. Although you are ready to reduce the complexity of your life, downsizing is more challenging than it sounds. Nevertheless, walking away from a stressful situation might be part of the larger plan. But this is not the time for a Houdini-like disappearing act; instead, you are learning the subtleties of patience. Romance need not be a house of cards held up by fantasy; a down-to-earth approach to love is more likely to result in a happy heart."
3.19
"Your life seems to be working out just as it should now, but for some unknown reason you still secretly wonder if everything is going to be okay in the long run. This odd juxtaposition tells a story of what can happen if you hide your feelings from those you love. Even if you have a clear view of your path ahead, sometimes it's hard to know the best way to reach your destination. Don't let go of your vision of the future. Focusing on your goals enables you to find your way when you feel overwhelmed. Sharing a burden makes it lighter to bear."
3.20
"You prefer having your day mapped out in detail, but your current schedule won't likely withstand the shifting pressures. Unfortunately, even your most sensible plans will be turned upside down today because the Pisces Solar Eclipse rocks your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. Crossed messages may contribute to delays or even a cancellation of a scheduled event, prompting you to think deeply about how you spend your leisure time. Rolling with the unexpected waves of change allows you to turn any setback into an exciting opportunity."
I will now be drawing myself into all of my favorite series as my favorite character(s.) You're going to have to deal with this so you might as well enjoy it.
"The Way of the Samurai is, morning after morning, the practice of death, considering whether it will be here or be there, imagining the most sightly way of dying, and putting one’s mind firmly in death. Although this may be a most difficult thing, if one will do it, it can be done. There is nothing that one should suppose cannot be done."
"Almost all animals who survive external hazards to their biological functioning eventually die from biological aging, known in life sciences as “senescence”. Some organisms experience negligible senescence, even exhibiting biological immortality. These include the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii, the hydra, and the planarian."
"As scientific knowledge and medicine advance, a precise medical definition of death becomes more problematic."
"The concept of death is a key to human understanding of the phenomenon. There are many scientific approaches to the concept. For example, brain death, as practiced in medical science, defines death as a point in time at which brain activity ceases. One of the challenges in defining death is in distinguishing it from life. As a point in time, death would seem to refer to the moment at which life ends. However, determining when death has occurred requires drawing precise conceptual boundaries between life and death. This is problematic because there is little consensus over how to define life. This general problem applies to the particular challenge of defining death in the context of medicine. It is possible to define life in terms of consciousness. When consciousness ceases, a living organism can be said to have died. One of the notable flaws in this approach, however, is that there are many organisms which are alive but probably not conscious (for example, single-celled organisms). Another problem is in defining consciousness, which has many different definitions given by modern scientists, psychologists and philosophers. Additionally, many religious traditions, including Abrahamic and Dharmic traditions, hold that death does not (or may not) entail the end of consciousness. In certain cultures, death is more of a process than a single event. It implies a slow shift from one spiritual state to another.
Other definitions for death focus on the character of cessation of something. In this context "death" describes merely the state where something has ceased, for example, life. Thus, the definition of "life" simultaneously defines death. Historically, attempts to define the exact moment of a human's death have been problematic. Death was once defined as the cessation of heartbeat (cardiac arrest) and of breathing, but the development of CPR and prompt defibrillation have rendered that definition inadequate because breathing and heartbeat can sometimes be restarted. Events which were causally linked to death in the past no longer kill in all circumstances; without a functioning heart or lungs, life can sometimes be sustained with a combination of life support devices, organ transplants and artificial pacemakers. Today, where a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death" to define a person as being dead; people are considered dead when the electrical activity in their brain ceases. It is presumed that an end of electrical activity indicates the end of consciousness. However, suspension of consciousness must be permanent, and not transient, as occurs during certain sleep stages, and especially a coma. In the case of sleep, EEGs can easily tell the difference. However, the category of "brain death" is seen by some scholars to be problematic. For instance, Dr. Franklin Miller, senior faculty member at the Department of Bioethics, National Institutes of Health, notes: "By the late 1990s, however, the equation of brain death with death of the human being was increasingly challenged by scholars, based on evidence regarding the array of biological functioning displayed by patients correctly diagnosed as having this condition who were maintained on mechanical ventilation for substantial periods of time. These patients maintained the ability to sustain circulation and respiration, control temperature, excrete wastes, heal wounds, fight infections and, most dramatically, to gestate fetuses (in the case of pregnant "brain-dead" women)." Those people maintaining that only the neo-cortex of the brain is necessary for consciousness sometimes argue that only electrical activity should be considered when defining death. Eventually it is possible that the criterion for death will be the permanent and irreversible loss of cognitive function, as evidenced by the death of the cerebral cortex. All hope of recovering human thought and personality is then gone given current and foreseeable medical technology. However, at present, in most places the more conservative definition of death – irreversible cessation of electrical activity in the whole brain, as opposed to just in the neo-cortex – has been adopted (for example the Uniform Determination Of Death Act in the United States). In 2005, the Terri Schiavo case brought the question of brain death and artificial sustenance to the front of American politics. Even by whole-brain criteria, the determination of brain death can be complicated. EEGs can detect spurious electrical impulses, while certain drugs, hypoglycemia, hypoxia, or hypothermia can suppress or even stop brain activity on a temporary basis. Because of this, hospitals have protocols for determining brain death involving EEGs at widely separated intervals under defined conditions."
"People found unconscious under icy water may survive if their faces are kept continuously cold until they arrive at an emergency room. This "diving response", in which metabolic activity and oxygen requirements are minimal, is something humans share with cetaceans called the mammalian diving reflex."

"Bradycardia is the first response to submersion. Immediately upon facial contact with cold water, the human heart rate slows down ten to twenty-five percent. Seals experience changes that are even more dramatic, going from about 125 beats per minute to as low as 10 on an extended dive. Slowing the heart rate lessens the need for bloodstream oxygen, leaving more to be used by other organs. Last is the blood shift that occurs only during very deep dives. When this happens, organ and circulatory walls allow plasma/water to pass freely throughout the thoracic cavity, so its pressure stays constant and the organs aren't crushed. In this stage, the lungs' alveoli fill up with blood plasma, which is reabsorbed when the animal leaves the pressurized environment. This stage of the diving reflex has been observed in humans (such as accomplished freediver Bret Gilliam) during deep (over 90 metres or 300 ft) dives."
[Underwater Vision] -- Seeing underwater... FUN FACT: without my glasses or contacts, and with only goggles, I have perfect 20/20 under water. Beyond 20/20, actually, it's more akin to the movie 'Senseless.' I can see every pore and goose-pimple on someone an Olympic length away.

"Rogers was red–green color blind, swam every morning, and neither smoked nor drank."
*ahem* Vish!
"In 1963, Rogers moved to Toronto, where he was contracted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to develop his debut in front of the camera, the 15-minute children's program Misterogers, which though popular with children ran just three seasons."
*AH-AH-AH-AHEM* VISH!!!
"Rogers also believed in not acting out a different persona on camera compared to how he acted off camera, stating that "One of the greatest gifts you can give anybody is the gift of your honest self. I also believe that kids can spot a phony a mile away.""
"All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Ten seconds of silence."

"Mindfulness is a popular buzzword that most of us associate with meditation, yoga and spirituality, although its definition in popular culture can be loose and subjective. In experimental psychology, the word is more rigorously defined as controlled attentiveness, a deliberate “awareness of what is happening in the present moment.”"
"Mindfulness “facilitates the acceptance of things as they occur.”"
"Good health is simply the slowest way a human being can die."

"What happened was, this being blasphemy for the Jews, it became blasphemy for the Christians for anyone else [other] than Jesus to say it. They said 'Okay, baby, it was so with you, but there it stops! No more of this business!' And as a result of that, Jesus was made irrelevant by Pedastalization, by Being Kicked Up-Stairs. In spite of the fact that He said, "Greater works than these, that I do, shall you do." 'Oh no, upstairs with you, baby. Because we just can't have that sorta thing going on in a Monarchical Universe. We're not gonna have democracy in the Kingdom Of Heaven.'"

3.21.15 -- "You're less interested in gaining recognition for your efforts today than you are in developing your potential. There is a deeper message that taskmaster Saturn is teaching you now and it's not about being admired or appreciated. In fact, you might be disappointed at first if your well-intended actions go unnoticed. Continue to do the best you can in all endeavors. Seeing your game improve is more rewarding now than anything else."
Please permit me an indefinite amount of time to sit still, breathe, and be quiet.
"Oh Buddhas and Bodhisattvas abiding in all directions,
Endowed with great compassion,
Endowed with foreknowledge,
Endowed with divine eye,
Endowed with love,
Affording protection to sentient beings,
Please come forth through the power of your great compassion,
Please accept these offerings, both actually presented and mentally created.
Oh Compassionate Ones, you who possess
The wisdom of understanding,
The love of compassion,
The power of doing divine deeds,
And of protecting in incomprehensible measure,
[...................................] is passing from this world to the next,
[He/she] is taking a great leap,
The light of this world has faded for [him/her],
[He/she] has entered solitude with their karmic forces,
[He/she] has gone into a vast silence,
[He/she] is borne away by the great ocean of birth and death ..…
Oh Compassionate Ones, protect [......................] who is defenceless. Be to [him/her] like a mother and father.
Oh Compassionate Ones, let not the force of your compassion be weak, but aid them.
Let [...........................] not go into the miserable states of existence.
Forget not your ancient vows."
I wish Abbey would get home already...
