- Marilyn Manson's Birthday 2019
-
I recall my first rendition of "The Beautiful People" for Irene's daughter Hope.
She was a very young drummer on the cusp of adulthood and she told me that it was "very good".
So I polished it up a little and have been known to belt out a Manson riff from time to time until I lost my chops by going to work for an incorporated municipality where everyone is just too FROU FROU to be believed.
It would be a different matter were the incumbent skills at the level of the phony baloney nonsense but ... come on.
Brian Hugh Warner was born this day in 1969 only to evolve into Marilyn Manson the American singer, songwriter, music journalist, actor, record producer, visual artist, and author.
Renoun as a controversial stage persona and lead singer of the band Marilyn Manson, which he co-founded with guitarist Daisy Berkowitz and of which he is the only continuous member.
He has astounded the likes of mere mortals such as myself with an incredible stage presence along with that scrappy personality we've all come to know and love.
Happy Birthday to You.

- World Braille Day 2019
-
I have met a few blind individuals in my lifetime. I have never had a visually impared friend or family member but I've often felt that this would not deter me from interacting with a person who cannot see.
I have encountered blind individuals traversing the sidewalks occasionally and even rendered assistance to one lady and her guide dog whom I found walking down the middle of the street.
I also notice braille control features in elevators, automatic teller machines, and even on some signage and "accessible" store shelves.
Today is World Braille Day. It is observed each year on January 4th which is the birthdate of Braille inventor, Louis Braille.
The day is a vehicle by which the contributions of Louis Braille in the literacy of the visually impared.
The National Federation of the Blind really holds Braille as that pivotal mechanism by which the blind may independently function in a manner which actively involves reading and writing methodology.

- Just Shut Up and Die Harry Reid
-
Our former senate majority leader who is going down fast due to pancreatic cancer has done an interview where he spews vitriol on The President and attempts to impart the characteristics of the democratic leadership upon him.
Harry Reid obviously is losing his high order thinking skills in those throes of impending death to the tune of unsubstantiated smack talk whereby he calls Mr Trump amoral and one of the worst presidents ever.
Now then we all know that the brigand Barack Obama is the worst president ever hands down and that dude he married is an equally abysmal first ladyboy.
While Mr Reid "loves" Nancy Pelosi and claims to talk with her often she is that amoral c word he attempts to attribute to Mr Trump. Chuck Schumer is equally without conscience in his flip flop stance and that stupidity which eminates from him while he yaps in the senate chamber like the preferred personal pronoun pursuing New York buffoon he is.
When all is said and done the people will know Mr Trump was in their corner and Reid, Pelosi, and Schumer were out to deprive us of our constitutional rights and fleece us for everything we have.
Good riddance Mr Reid you democrat liar. Don't let that coffin door hit you in the ass on the way out. Just die and stop poisoning the air by continuing to breathe it.
There will come a reckoning. The democrats are oblivious to just how many know what they're up to. Their constituent base will be little comfort when they finally get trounced by the electorate.
Everyone in the nation is not a blind stupid liberal.

- National Creampuff Day
-
I've been known to engage a creampuff or two on occasion, sometimes ending up with a large swathe of custard or confectioner's creme across my face. Today is a celebration of that French pastry known as the creampuff.
Invented sometime in the mid 1500s it has been one of those indulgences I simply cannot help since I discovered them at some 'to-do' we were having and since then I typically go straight for them.
Don't know much about the day or why it exists, only the product and why I love them so much.
Anyway, and even though I seriously doubt that the day was formerly declared by congress ... Happy National Creampuff day to you.

- Persistent Error State
-
Perhaps the proper term is 'duplicated error state'. It seems that I duplicated an error in the mail server configuration from one of those many configuration and reconfiguration attempts to achieve TLS email nirvana.
So ... I had a configuration file whereby I had duplicated instances of no spaces after the commas in the directives as well as a deprecated directive resulting in my awaking to a 'configuration error' bright and early New Years morning.
Not being one to set aside anything that requires immediate attention; I tracked down the errors, fixed them, chastised myself roundly, and now all is well with imap, smtp, and pop on the box.
So I begin 2019 with an error free (tested exhaustively and very hopefully) mail environment with all test emails being received both ways and an error log innocent of a single entry and the mail log full of successful test data.
Perhaps I do indeed learn from past mistakes after all.

Again this year there will be no new year's resolutions.
I find it easier to live with myself in the absence of a lot of broken promises floating around in my head ... and anymore I have ample duties otherwise with which to occupy myself during the year anyway.
I will make an attempt to get out and walk more and perhaps toss a pair of dumbells around a few times a week.
Other than that, I'll try to go easy on the chocolate and other crap I'm not supposed to eat and see how things go.

We're coming on down to the wire on the new year.
Most of the people at work have skeetzed on out using vacation; I suppose in an attempt to pursue more celebratory opportunities.
As for me, I'm just trying not to use anymore vacation this year so I will be heading on in to work on the couple of things I have pending.
I feel fortunate to have somewhere to go and something to do.
I'd like to take this moment to wish everyone a happy new year and I hope that all your wishes for 2019 come true.

- My final word for 2018
-
My final word for 2018 is stupidity. This refers to behavior revealing a lack of good judgment or common sense. It brings to mind specific individuals who I'd just as soon never hear from or about ever again.
Nancy Pelosi
Described as "mind numbingly stupid" by members of the true intelligentsia this woman is known for numerous live camera mind farts during interviews and a dishonesty rivaling only George Soros in it's astounding rude and disrespectful impudence.
She is a player of games out to fleece the tax payers for everything they are worth as evidenced by her continued status among the so-called "progressives" and democrats who are right in there with her wanting to take The Republic to the cleaners at each and every opportunity.
Chuck Schumer
This anus touts a lack of decorum all the while backstabbing bearing false witness toward the conservatives.
He has even had the gall to step to the podium and speak of the importance of "civility" and "respect" in political discourse while he casts aspersions continuously and attempts to attack The President and his success with policy.
Typical New Yorker 'preferred pronoun' mentality born of a failure to grasp reality.
Maxine Waters
Ms Waters gets the miscongeniality vote for her boorish and socially inept remarks which keep spewing form her stupid pie hole. Calling for public attacks on the conservative and even those trying to make a living working for conservatives.
Her numerous perverse tirades include tips on how the opposition should respond to election losses such as
If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.
A democratic rose by any other name would still smell like the cold dead fish she is.
Cory Booker
This ignoramus maximus has become legend for allowing his alligator mouth to outdo his hummingbird ass with antics and phony shows of self agrandizement and false accusations.
This unhinged yankee bullshitter should think before he opens his stupid mouth.
I'm surprised that the fools in Orangeburg, South Carolina held a 'meet and greet' for him speaking volumes for our local democratic party which like the national group should be disbanded as the lack of grasp mean spirited poor sport tax and spend players of the voters they are.
It is a surprising notion to think that the voters of New Jersey could be this stupid as well. I used to think I had a lot of friends in New Jersey. I'm beginning to wonder if I even WANT friends from New Jersey since the advent of this clown Mr Booker.

- Last Weekend of 2018
-
Today I commence my final weekend of this year. Tuesday we will be in 2019. My yard is a mess due to all of the lumberjacking and demolition of the old shed.
As I embark on a new year I hope that I don't screw this one up as badly as I did last year.
There is something to be said for orderly progression and somewhere this became lost in the fray of everything going on.
I'm thankful to finally get my mail server wound up. It sure did take too long but all the rules changed.
That one silver lining remains the enhanced set up background I obtained during the process.
Here's to the upcoming new year and all the promise appertaining thereto !

- Remembering Debbie Reynolds
-
My earliest memories of Debbie Reynolds involved her recording of the song Tammy and the subsequent television program spin off which was a staple of my young childhood ... because it was able to hold my interest.
Mary Frances Reynolds of El Paso, Texas, became the screen actress Debbie Reynolds commencing a career at MGM at age 16.
Joining Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain in the year of 1952 with her quick study abilities she became an accomplished dancer before the age of twenty.
She passed from a stroke on December 28, 2016, but a day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher.
It was a sad moment for me personally and marked the end of a career based on more talent and none of that risque behavior too many of today's film artists rely on nowadays to hold the attention of their audience.
Tammy
I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
Does my lover feel what I feel when he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that he could hear
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy, Tammy can't let him go
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy, Tammy, you love him so
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms
I'd sing like a violin
If I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love

- Infuriating Politics
-
The politics of late have proven quite infuriating.
There is the stupidity of the "no borders" left thinking we need to allow all of the freeloaders from anywhere into the country so they can all vote democratic for more dole and taxes of the worker to give to the shirker.
There is that influx by the illegals from the southern border that Chuck Shumer thinks doesn't require the protection of a wall.
Personally, I hope that the President sticks to his guns and presses on for what we need in border security.
Then there are the criminals who are in the country thinking they may run ripshod all over the law abiding citizens as though they own them.
The "preferred personal pronoun" set with their idiocratic mendacity calling a man a woman or a woman a man and thinking it is okay to indoctrinate children into that fallacy because they want the successive generations to believe that sick behaviors are normal. They are not.
The holiday season is not a time to have to cope with such goings on and the tidings should be of good will toward men ... but here's to hoping that George Soros gets his in the most heinous painful manner and all of those cronies taking his money find similar fates involving suitable endings of the madness.
Happy Holidays you stupid leftists, antifa, social justice warriors, feminazis, and other miscreant lack logic people.
The rest of you please disregard this rant as a figment of the stupidity called modern reality in which we find ourselves immersed.
I'll just cringe on and try to remain silent.

- Saint Stephens Day 2018
-
One of my favorite topics of a biblical nature is Stephen, the protomartyr of Christianity.
His place, though not unique in the annals of scripture is nonetheless significant as he was both a professor of Yeshua the Christ and influenced others who came later ... on top of being the first murdered for practicing his faith.
Saint Stephen was the first martyr of the Christian faith as written in the Book of Acts of the Apostles.
His teachings while a deacon in the early church in Jerusalem angered members of various synagogues whereby he was accused of blasphemy and stoned to death.
Saul of Tarsus who later became the Apostle Paul held the cloaks of those who stoned Saint Stephen.
There are fairly extensive accounts of his relics being found later which were exhumed from where they lay buried beneath a church.
The opening of his tomb at this time was accompanied by a sweet bouquet which permeated the local area and remained for an extended period.
Today is his feast day and is featured in the traditional Christmastide carol Good King Wenceslas which is about an episode in the life the Bohemian King Václav the Good prior to the time he too was who was murdered — by a group lead by his evil brother.

The Gospel According to Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
