I used to follow the British royal family fairly closely in my younger days.

I'm afraid the allure and the enamour I once experienced for them pretty has much died with Diana though I do read various quips in the threads from time to time.

Prince William and his consort, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton aka the Duchess of Cambridge have been interesting in those few times I encountered them in the media.

I always felt Kate Middleton was up to her role as a royal and unlike Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife; Mr and Mrs William Windsor are respectable in those highly public and scrutinized roles even though the leftist libtard mess invariably soaks through the various media events.

Be all of this as it may, Kate Middleton is not someone for whom I could never feel contempt.

She is polite and attempts to do the right thing and project propriety and dignity congruent with her public office — and that's all you may really ask of another human being.

Today is her birthday. She born January 9, 1982 at Reading, Berkshire, England and has been Prince William's consort since 2011.

She is a lovely young lady and this peasant wishes her well on her birthday.
 

Viewing the utter mess the democrats have made of the nation I keep wondering if the scandals and bad judgements of these buffoons were evident in their predecessors.

We don't read of the untoward boorish acting out in early politics like we do nowadays. This is all because of the leftist libtard embrace of woke culture despite it's vast rejection elsewhere.
 

On this day in 1790 US President George Washington delivered the first State of the Union, the annual address to Congress. I wonder if the opposing party were as patently rude as the democrats in Congress were for President Trump when he gave his State of the Union address.

I have never witnessed such unbecoming behavior as that exhibited by the democrats and their brigand, perverse ilk during political discourse in the United States.

Their support of the criminal antifa and marxist BLM organizations pretty much say it all regarding their collective lack of good judgement. The defunding of police followed by the upswing in criminal statistics are simply another facet of that which we have been made to suffer because they stole the election.

Voting forensics do not lie.

Furthermore, I wonder if the democrats realize the full extent of contempt the majority of the nation has for their lawless office monetizing illogical and stupid asses.

In the sum total of who we are and where we're going it is a refreshing note that the Western Europeans by and large are rejecting the stupidity of woke culture and that these mistakes will be visited upon the democrats for a very long time to come.

The behavior of the left has been and will continue to be their downfall.

Boo to the democrats. They are a blight upon the land.
 

Mom and I have been watching syndicated seasons of CSI both Miami and Las Vegas on the streaming device and it is proving to be quite entertaining. One night Nick Stokes on CSI Las Vegas told a suspect that he appeared to have "a little bit of stalker personality" and his casual amusement was immensely funny to me.

Humor notwithstanding it's easy to get off on the wrong foot sometimes and have people thinking you have some dark interest when none is there.

This is one reason I maintain a certain aloofness in the presence of others. I don't need any incorrect notions being formulated about me by some less than functional individual I may encounter.

The word stalking refers to a behavior pattern theoretically directed at a specific person resulting in a person of reasonable intent to fear for the safety that person or others — including but not limited to substantial emotional distress.

Such a person was Ricardo "Richard" Leyva Muñoz Ramírez who was born February 29, 1960 and died June 7, 2013.

AKA the Valley Intruder, the Walk-in Killer, and most infamously, the Night Stalker he was an American serial killer, serial rapist, kidnapper, child molester, and burglar, convicted in 1989.

Anyway, due to individuals such has him and the level of interpersonal competence I encounter as a function of daily living I make it a point to try to be friendly but not too flexible or pushy when I encounter others.

Wouldn't want some one to think I run with "a little bit of stalker personality" regardless of how humorous it might be to anyone or everyone.

Sorry, I simply lack that requisite interest in others required to become an accomplished stalker. You're simply not worth prison, becoming some bad man's boyfriend — or worse.
 

I'm pretty much a stickler for agreements and promises made in my old age.

Wasn't always that way.

I once took a job and cast it aside in an ill conceived mistaken notion that took me on a journey upon which I'd just as soon never gone.

The adage 'birds of a feather flock together' was all to appropos in my sad situation.

It seems that when you immerse your immedate social strata with friends who are typically less than forthright and stalwart individuals it adversely affects your own personality.

So in my present I try to keep every promise.

I avoid those bad influences which led me far astray so long ago.

People like Boatwright and his plethora of drug dealer friends.

People who use others spitefully.

This is why the democrats repulse me.

They are liars, thieves, and cheats and as such should be stricken from the record permanently.

Can you say Adam Schiff, and the rest of the democrat scum of the planet, boys and girls?
 

The realization of my insignificance in the great scheme of things has caused me to become somewhat of a realist and has given me a great appreciation for that vastness which is all outside of my personal space.

I have an instrinsic interest in the universe and our position within it purely from a standpoint of wonder.

January 4th, 2022 @ 1:52 am EST finds us at the Earth's perihelion.

This is the point at which the Earth is closest to the Sun the event goes down some two weeks after the Winter solstice, which I also mark as a matter of personal interest.

The corresponding inverse event is when the earth is farthest from the Sun aka "its aphelion" which happens about two weeks after the Summer solstice.

Our planet is farthest from the Sun when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

I remain this speck on the butt of a gnat comparatively speaking in this great vastness of a scale which though not incomprensible is confoundingly immense .
 

The email spammage went crazy the last week of the year. There were immense attempts from MANY outlook.com clients among various others.

It got so bad that I simply firewalled the whole lot of outlook servers and the other main culprets otherwise.

This dirtbag microsoft network operated by the scum microsoft company with skill-less tards that no less touts itself as one of these champions against the spammer when they are as big a culpret as the other assholes thinking they're so great on the internet as well.

What is the hallmark of a network with no skilled IT people behind it?

Your whois database entries all point to gd microsoft.

Can you say gmail kiddies? What a bunch of spammers they are as well touting this false uppity attitude with their spf record requirements which simply doesn't wash.

The spammers have spf records in their dns while I — who NEVER sends spam — do not because the spectrum idiots don't seem to be able to handle it after numerous requests.

F☠ck outbound.protection.outlook.com the biggest spammers on the planet
F☠ck Satya Nadella the towel headed foreign sandnegroid CEO of microsnot
F☠ck Bill Gates the insane libtard menace to the world owner of microsnot
F☠ck The innumerable gmail spammers of the world too
F☠ck spf records. Sender Policy Framework does NOT prevent or even diminish spamming or spammers you gmail knuckleheads

BOO !

I suppose the optimism could be going better.
 

So with the new year comes the opportunity for a new beginning. I've considered resolutions or starting a 'gratitude journal'. Not too much optimism floating around me these days. I have promised my mother to attempt some level of optimism if it kills me.
