That Monster called Ads in streaming television
I just subscribed to another ad free service called 'Shudder' and was watching the theatrical version of Salem's Lot, that miniseries starring David Soul, James Mason, and Lance Kerwin which was made for television and released the year my hitch with the Navy ended ... 1979.

    Kurt Barlow The Master from Salems Lot portrayed by Reggie Nalder
It's about a novelist and a young boy who liked horror genre films who attempt to save a small New England town called Salem's Lot from an invasion of vampires. It was quite scary back in the day and conceptually remains so.

Needless to say it is quite a bit more in the way of drama and build up than I recall but it has been quite a few years since my last (and only) viewing and it's a bit of personal nostalgia so I'm gleaning a good amount of enjoyment from it all nonetheless.

One of those shocking aspects are the changes David Soul has undergone. You know, as if I'm not equally changed and shocking myself.

The beauty of my new Roku collection is the absence of services supporting their endeavors with ads. I would much rather pay more subscription for no ads personally. It's a ecommerce phobia I believe.

Those services like Sling and Philo are repulsive to my tastes. I just don't like the ads for some reason. These two in particular think you need to watch 10 minutes of ads for every 5 minutes of television it seems.

That ugly spectre of continuous lengthy commercial breaks simply isn't happening if I can help it.

I don't know what I'll do if services with "no ad" tiers cease to be available. Likely this will result in the rise of a DVD era in my lifetime and I'll will pursue the ultimate DVD jukebox or something.

Be all of this as it may at present I'm pretty happy with those services I maintain. I had to drop Youtube Premium because they have this need to propagandize the experience with the tainted clips of their choosing. One false dislike and they all of a sudden suppress those news outlets you want to watch.

I simply terminated them with extreme prejudice within the month trial because I decline to put up with their overbearing leftist libtard crap. It was sad because I used to indulge them a lot and felt the need to give them part of my entertainment budget ... but they asked for it and I was just the one to let them have it.

World Diabetes Day 2020
glimiperide 4mg and glucophage 750mg extended release    
World Diabetes Day is a campaign focusing on diabetes mellitus and is held on November 14 annually under the auspices of the International Diabetes Federation.

Diabetes is a defect of carbohydrate metabolism which happens either early (juvenile onseet diabetes) or later (adult onset diabetes) and those intrinsic factors differ between the two primary variants as to cause and course.

My personal affliction is "type 2" (adult onset) diabetes aka "metabolic syndrome".

It has subjected me to a need for several medications in the absence of the self control required to diminish my weight adequately and I am plagued by side effects of the oral agents which I prefer to the injectables which; while more effective are subject to their own cholera like manifestations as a result of their use.

Needless to say, my "inferior genetics" as Dr Bill Robinson put it are being compensated for with the use of pharmacologic agents which I'd just as soon live without. However, were it not for them I likely would not be living presently.

I notice many from my area die very prematurely and their causes are likely those lifestyle diseases which include adult onset diabetes.

World Kindness Day 2020
World Kindness Day 2020

Today we have another World Kindness Day. This is a world wide observance held each November 13.

It is difficult to be kind when you're in the presence of a diabolical unscrupulous immoral group of people like the democrat party in the United States.

Rather than be kind I am of the notion to wipe all of them off the planet entirely.

The democrat party has it coming and the payback is a mother f*cker.

World Kindness Day is a farce of the leftist libtard individuals who want no borders and no national sovereignty.

Bulleth Shitteth.

Stan Lee has been gone a whole year
    Stan Lee
Stan Lee
December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018

I remember my comic book heyday. I was in the sixth grade at George R Fishburne Elementary School in Hanahan SC.

One of my friends, whom I'm ashamed to say I can't recall his name, had a playhouse of sorts. I had a similar structure in my back yard but his was much more frou frou and 'little girlish' if you will while mine was a rugged thing once a tool shed or workshop or something.

Anyway we would sit in his playhouse and read boxes of comic books stored there and I mean to tell you there must have been thousands.

It was there that I received my first introduction to Stan Lee.

Stanley Martin Lieber, aka Stan Lee, American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and producer and gifted productive visionary of the media arts passed this earthly existence but a year ago.

He was a fixture in my life since childhood, being the comic book aficionado I was from early childhood his work was my entertainment and I always enjoyed it immensely.

He grew a family business into Marvel Comics and served as the primary creative leadership which dominated the comics industry for as long as I can remember.

Stan was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995.

He received the NEA's National Medal of Arts in 2008.

My particular favorites in his repetoire were those cameos in the various marvel group movies where he would portray some happenstance character.

Oh, how those memories still warm my heart.

Veterans Day 2020
Happy Veterans Day


Today we observe Veteran's Day. This is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I which was November 11 to honor our veterans and victims of all wars.

It was declared a replacement for Armistice Day in 1954. Sadly, many incorporated municipalities omit it from their holiday calendars in favor of Martin Luther King Day because they are unpatriotic racist organizations.

unscrupulous immoral cheating ass democrats 

There is a price to pay for criminal behavior like stuffing the ballot boxes with absentee ballots intercepted and interfered with and and you will not get away with this by a long shot.

Just because you believe you are above the law you may wish to rethink your criminal underhanded strategy.

You are liars.
You are thieves.
You are cheats.

All of you.

World Freedom Day in the United States 2020
I was formerly an uncompromising patriot taxpayer in the United States. My feeling of patriotism has been seriously shaken by the attempts by the democrat party to steal the presidential election — and I have continuing fears that they may even be successful in their criminal unscrupulous immoral behavior in this matter.

It's a sad notion that criminals may pursue such plans and execute them in the absence of another group of taxpayers who both foretold the actions of this scum yet did nothing in the way of prevention.

I am rapidly becoming a militia wannabe and were it not for my mother who says every day how much she needs me I would already be contacting them for action.

No, I can't run but I am effective at hand to hand combat of brief duration and an excellent head shot at 300 feet ... not 100% but doggone accurate and practiced.

World Freedom Day in the United States

Here we have another World Freedom Day in the United States. This was declared by the then President George Bush son of the NWO traitor George HW Bush who is now deceased thank God.

It is a commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall as well as the end of communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe which began in 2001 and observed each November 9.

World Freedom Day is not time for taking advantage of law abiding taxpayers by a criminal element which operates with impunity. This is the democrat party of the United States and I will be addressing and treating them all accordingly.

World Urbanism Day 2020
columbia sc

So we have another World Urbanism Day aka World Town Planning Day recognizing and promoting the role of planning in creating livable communities. It is the idea of the late Professor one Carlos Maria della Paolera of the University of Buenos Aires.

While I view it all as a bunch of globalist intrusion and socialist rot in the vein of Bernie dumbass Sanders with the buzzwords like 'smart city' presented to me by the local incorporated municipality have been overused by the uninitiated to the point of cliche and appear equally plagiristic and pretty much meaningless from a practical standpoint — just another methodology for intrusion and spying on the taxpayer.

Looks like environmental impact means far less to me than the intrusive nature of local governments on those who pay them. I think a French Revolution replete with a gillotine is in order.

I'll even spring for the ox drawn cart. Urban culture, urbanism, and the Urban League interest me not. Perhaps with meaningful leadership things might change but I don't see that happening either.

I used to be much more tolerant but all that gets you is walked on.

Due Diligence and Friends Lost
Jerry R Landry Headstone at Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery


Last night I happened upon the headstone of my late Navy buddy, Jerry R Landry, who was born Aug 22, 1953 and died Jan 25, 2007 from a myocardial infarction.

He was a lifetime resident of Barnstable Village on Cape Cod and was so proud of the fact that he wasn't one of we who reside to the West of Cape Cod to whom he always referred to as "indians".

His loss was an open wound on my soul until I secured a copy of his death certificate from the state of Massachusetts and now that I know his final disposition I intend to travel back to Cape Cod to pay my respects in person.

He is interred at Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery in Centerville,Massachusetts. This town is in the county of his birth and residence — and is also where Eunice Kennedy Shriver and her husband Sargent Shriver are also interred.

We typically aren't fortunate enough to have many really good friends in life, but Jerry was one of my mine and I have missed him over the years.

Continued rest in peace.

Maria Shriver has been a frequent presence
    Maria Shriver
Maria Shriver is someone who has always been a presence in my life.

We were born a scant seven or so months apart and I saw her on various news and literary venues over the years and I must say that I was more attracted to the 'younger plumper' Maria than the buff lady she became after hooking up with Arnold the cheating unfaithful cur Schwarzenegger.

So, it is said that much of her extremely well kempt self is the result of various cosmetic surgical procedures, still she projects that youthful appearance which certainly escaped me after going to work for the ungrateful incorporated municipality which sucked up all my spare time like a black hole and expects me to be their bitch.

Be all of this as it may Maria remains a journalist and author and is founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement. Alzheimer's is one of those afflictions which could use all the help at combating it which may be available.

Today is her birthday. Happy Birthday to you !

Her parents were Eunice Kennedy and Sargent Shriver; individuals who were in the foreground of my life and those thing I considered newsworthy and that culture which departed about the time news quit being news and began it's role as sesationalized fiction made up to make money for the networks.

She is a part of the Kennedy clan and with my Navy buddy Jerry I made it a point to visit the various compounds and places they frequented over the years as a matter of personal interest. I only wish she wasn't a part of the 'fake news' mainstream media like that liar and purveyor of all that is false information Craig Melvin formerly of WISTV in Columbia SC.

Adobe and the rest of India
Adobe and the rest of India    
So normally I attempt to curtail overt acts of disdain and even outright hatred but sometimes a vendor in particular will raise my hackles to the point that I simply decline to control my utter contempt ...

Yeah, so over the years I've come to hate adobe.

They intrude into my machine with hooks for "verification of license" and I'd just as soon remove their entire product line and impale them and the rest of India on my Shaka Zulu spear and watch their entrails slide down the long handle version I purchased back in the 1980s.

All too many of these computer application provider anuses overstep their authorities in our lives and how I live to make them regret it to the hilt.

I don't need adobe. Indeed I've been thinking about going the GIMP route and shucking it all to that den of iniquity which absolutely IS Adobe and the rest of India.

Then they bought Coldfusion and totally ruined it as well. What a huge selling point for the excellent product Lucee which is coldfusion without the adobe ruination.

So next time you cross my patio, daddy-o ... just remember I'm watching you and my firewall is always ready to block those subnets at the drop of a hat.

I hate Adobe.
I hate India.
I hate Adobe Coldfusion Server
I hate Photoshop and the entirety of their so-called 'creative suite'.
I hate Acrobat and the pdf file format.

It didn't HAVE to be this way but Adobe and the rest of India have continually overstepped their welcome into my life over the course of what are many years now. It's time for you all to just go away and leave me be.

May I suggest a few discreet nukes, EMP discharges, and perhaps a couple of neutron bombs from Pakistan ?

Delhi
Ahmedabad
Mumbi
Benalhuru
Vishakhapatam
Kolkata

In the immortal words of Shaka "Impale them all !"

Unscrupulous immoral democrats attempt to steal election
    Consequences may be swift and painful
So as if this weren't both anticipated and obvious the democrat governors of their respective states are attempting to to falsify election results with a mass of ballots automagically appearing in an attempt to change the results to a Biden win.

I'm afraid Fox News is complicent in these highly derrogotory and underhanded proceedings and there are a large number of us watching how things go.

The illegal nefarious proceedings are part and parcel to what we've seen earlier in the SCOTUS justice proceedings and the democrats are now culpable for all manner of felonious interceeding in the legal affars of the US in their never ending struggle to take control of the Republic ... by crook. That's the only way they're going to get it.

These delinquents are surprisingly supported by members of the electorate who should likewise be held accountable for the actions of their leadership.

Personally, I think a slug to the head is appropriate.
