- National Pig Day
-
Today is National Pig Day and celebrates the porcine swine animals which cohabitate this planet along with us and the rest of the food and companion animals in our midst.
It began in 1972 at the behest of Ellen Stanley, a teacher in Lubbock, Texas, and Mary Lynne Rave of Beaufort, North Carolina who are siblings.
Their notion regarding the day was "to accord the pig its rightful, though generally unrecognized, place as one of man's most intellectual and domesticated animals" ...
And therein lay both the bounty and tragedy of the notion of National Pig Day.
It has long been held that swine are a very intelligent animal capable of understanding humans and interacting at a level befitting an individual with personality.
So often we hear of companion animals such as the pot bellied pig becoming a food animal as the result of so-called shelter "rescues" and it is a shame that we would actually butcher and eat one of our pets ... but it happens.
Nonetheless, the day is relegated to noting the pig and attempting to cultivate an appreciation beyond the BLT sandwich, beloved by so many including yours truly.
So happy National Pig Day to you.

- The Last Day of February
-
Since it's not a leap year today is the last day of February. Not being an overwhelming fan of Valentines Day nor anything else held in the shortest month of the year I would be okay with the powers that be simply dividing the days up between the various other months and doing away with it and it's consitutent observances altogether.
Yes, I'm feeling a little crabby and in my crabbiness I tend to go overboard with what I feel is substantive and inconsequential in the world ...
And FEBRUARY is simply one of those meaningless things.
Perhaps if I knew individuals born in the month or it weren't simply a container of self agrandizement for a subset of the population who feel the need to be continually recognized separately from the rest of us and allowed to both participate in our conventional celebrations as well as hold their own segregated versions of the same gd thing I might feel a little different.
So as it stands, February can simply go away with everything in it as far as I am concerned.

- Anosmia Awareness Day
-
In our environmental sensorium smell is one of those senses which provides much in the way of input regarding what is happening with us at any point in time.
Anosmia is the term applied to loss of the sense of smell for whatever reason.
Each year on this day Anosmia Awareness Day is observed to increase awareness of anosmia and it's impact on those suffering from it.
This day exists to inform indviduals regarding that impact anosmia may impart on people.
It subjects sufferers to dangerous environmental incidents such as hazardous chemicals, fires, leaking gasses, spoiled foodstuffs and so forth as practical matters of health, wellbeing, and survival.
It may impede nutrition because smell and taste are intertwined far more than most peopl realize.
It can impact socialization and psychological stress as the result of fears such as insufficient hygiene and a diminished connection with the parameters of memory, emotion, and pleasure.

The leader of a sex doll concern called 1amdoll USA has stated to members of the media that online porn has changed the way men feel toward sexuality and now find his robots preferable to real women.
This fellow, identified only as 'Brent' spoke to one Jon Ronson on his podcast claiming that sites like Pornhub and RedTube have "raised the bar" on what is found attractive anymore ... so much that men no loner prefer real women nor find them sexually attractive anymore.
NOW THEN; I always consider the source when such controversial statements go flying through the threads and like I told the guy who created 'Roxxxy' the sex robot that given the interpersonal abilities of his clientele just what conclusions could be derived from a population of individuals who buy these things viz a viz we who go for real women preferentially.
My point being that your universe is too tainted with the attitutdes of weenies who cannot interact with other people to be spouting off generalities as applicable to all men and I personally prefer that you remain quiet until such time that you may speak for the entirety of those you include in your alleged statements of fact.
'Brent' you are an overgeneralizing moron. Just because you haven't had any since it had you; there are plenty of men remaining who prefer the company of true XX human females and I decline to ever try to hook up with some rubber representation ... particularly some shared model in a "bordello" as it were. I would find such interaction just as repugnant as some so-called 'trans woman' who is merely a mutilated man in elaborate disguise.
I pitty the individuals with those personal tastes in company you describe.

- Silicon Valley Diaspora
-
I once viewed Silicon Valley as the premiere domicile. With all the tech offerings with their high pay and various perks I simply thought it would be a hoot to be employed there.
Alas, it seems that for most in the area the honeymoon has been over for quite a while now.
So we have a mass exodus from San Jose and the San Francisco metropolitan digs in favor of areas less prone to high prices, unreasonable democrat induced taxation, and earthquakes.
It seems that the real estate prices simply aren't realistic and Jerry Brown has ruined everything in his wake. What would you expect from a fool who would marry Jane Fonda and her traitor prehensile vulva. Yes, Jane I saw your exercise video and those lips were flapping like a bird trying to escape a tornado.
Quite a show, though.

- Cyberimmortality
-
I was amused the day I heard Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory speak of the singularity and having his consciousness transferred to a robot whereby he would attain immortality.
He was dismayed regarding his impression that his lifespan would be insufficient to reach that point in the evolution of science and began a program of health maintenance which included a high fiber and cruciferous vegetable component to his diet which ultimately gave him gas which he believed to be an appendicitis until it abruptly was expelled.
Scientists in Sweden are studying the digitization in an effort to transfer that essence which is humanity to the circuitry of a robot — designed to resemble the deceased (of course) with an AI component which would evolve to eventually simulate those capabilities of speech and interaction that one would expect in a robotic representation of a loved one.
All of this flies in the face of Mr Musk and Dr Hawking who have touted the risks and dangers associated with AI as it relates to criminals, rogue states such as that which ours has become, and that propensity for a government to assume it can just murder whomever it may choose without consequence.
In the sum total of these developments I must note the infancy of such proceedings and acknowledge that the evolution of AI to such a level would require a suitable environment in which to exist as well as an interface by which it could interact with the world.
These robotic creations are not quite there but I can see the AI implementations of tanks and other armaments being loosed first on the enemy and then upon the citizens as something which could loom before us.
I also view the United Nations as the last entitity which should control such technology for they indeed are the enemy with their agenda 21 and agenda 30 with their so-called "sustainable development" which is nothing more than concentration camps, machine gun turrets in "green space no-man's lands", and slavery or depopulation at their whim in the true image of the traitor bushes, the criminal clintons, and the abominable obama.
The morbidly amusing part of all of this united nations subterfuge surrounds the fact that they think we will go blindly into the night like so many victims to the nazi death camps without any manner of retaliation and simply allow ourselves to be subjugated to the belgians with london and the jesuits controlling our finances.
So fantasy remains a solid part of the evolving horror as described by Mr Musk and Dr Hawking given the fact that the second ammendment won't just go away because some group of indoctrinated children scripted by CNN and a bunch of liberal moron educators and the namby pamby panty waist progressives wish it to happen.
There are the rest of us. We who will not be stomped upon just because the so-called "New World Order" would make it so. No stupid traitor president, no crooked would be president, no criminal kenyan interloper is going to have their way with us just because it's what they want.

- National Banana Bread Day
-
I have always loved banana bread. All that moist sweet cake oozing with mashed bananas and the aroma ...
Oh the aroma of those baked goods just keeps me wanting more.
Today is National Banana Bread Day
I used to work with a fellow who was quite the banana bread baker.
He would bring in great masses of banana bread and leave them spread out on the counter in the kitchen at work and we would partake for days.
I kinda wish he hadn't retired recently when I remember those baked delights he would bestow upon the department.

- Billy Graham RIP
-
Rev Dr William Franklin Graham Jr
November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018Some of my youngest memories are of Billy Graham. I recall sitting before the black and white television set on Lavender Lane in Aragona Village in Virginia Beach and watching his crusade programming most every time it aired ...
You see, I think that my Mom was a member of his flock because if he was on the teevee she was likely watching for the entirety of my childhood.
I remember growing older and seeing his program on the tube when I would be home ... though in later life I was not as likely to watch. The crusade remained a staple of the household viewing habits for as long as I can remember.
Throughout his many accolades and the televised crusades he became a part of our history because we noted those moments which featured him and his various endeavors.
I recall when Mrs Ruth Graham passed in 2007 he said that he knew who he was and where he has been and most importantly where he is going.
I am sure it was a grand reunion when he and she met in spirit now that he has gone on to his great reward.
Rest in peace.

- Restating the Obvious
-
One of the creators of a cryptocurrency called ethereum is stating that the instability of all cryptocurrencies with wild swings up and down are an indication that traditional financial instruments may be a better idea at this juncture in the evolution of the cybermonies ...
And that you might not want to maintain any more crytocurrency than you can afford to lose.
Well ... as I have repeatedly said, this is ZERO for me personally and I remain glad that I terminated my Bitcoin full node with extreme prejudice on day zero.
Something about the characterization as "a new and hyper-volatile asset class” and that they "could drop to near-zero at any time" does little to reinforce my confidence in cryptocurrency and there you have it.
The proponents are recommending caution at the same level as the skeptics. Volitility be damned, this coupled with what I view as a level of "ease of theft" pretty much says it all.
Needless to say I won't be venturing out into the world of cryptocurrency assets anytime soon and those big players now have the potential to lose really big from the way it's looking.
Spookage.

- Evoking Demons
-
Some may recall my failure at magick years back. The attempt was aborted when things got entirely too wierd and I slept that night with all the lights on and the television blaring.
I've been working through the academics of evoking a couple of demons in the spirit of King Solomon who did the very same thing. I do know that I lack some of the large copper vessels he used for containment — and I haven't really absorbed the information contained in the Goetia (Lesser Keys of Solomon) and those terms and traditions likewise are not at sufficient understanding to do more than discuss my intentions.
While this may eventually be some foolhardy mistake I come to regret, the world has devolved to a point where it's really not an option to merely stand by and watch it all unfold without at least attempting to intervene at some level ...
In my waking hours I have been reading up on Aleister Crowley and getting ready. I recall having a discussion of this with my Jehovah's Witness friends who have not returned since that day. Oh well, to each their own.
The pursuit of becoming a magician is certainly much more reading than I ever gave it credit. I'm glad I aborted my first attempt which I engaged without any reading other than the preparation and execution.
I'm not looking to become a mage so much as just determining if any viable options do exist for me. I am at an age where it simply doesn't matter if that which I attain meets the disapproval of anyone. I'm tired of what is going on with the treachery of the political world and the idiots trying to implement a so-called New World Order and the criminals like the Obamas and Clintons as well as the traitor Bushes of the world getting over on everyone else.
I stand on the precipice of what I view as attempting to change things for the better. If it takes a demon to do this, so be it. I'm game. If it was good enough for Solomon, son of David and his concubine Bathsheba ... it's good enough for me. This is merely one of a bunch of irons I have in the fire.

- Some Asian Females are RUDE
-
I've had a couple run ins with Asian females lately. I try to be tolerant and practice "live and let live" but I swear, the other day I wanted to pop a cap in a rude asian ass ... and though it's not something I'm particularly proud of; it's the truth.
Some of the rudest immigrants on the planet are Asian females. Most of them are fine and dandy and I do try to stay out of their paths in general ... but WAY too many are looking to pick a fight because they always want to be pissed off at SOMEONE who was born here.
This notion of spewing attitude like it's some female hormone they're spraying all over everything in the manner of a cat gets old very quickly. When you come to a new country you don't get to continue mess that you formerly got away with simply because those around you wouldn't take you to task.
Other than perhaps Huntington Beach, California; in the United States of America you are likely to encounter one or two individuals who will take you down in no uncertain terms. Hopefully you'll have bought dentures up front because after some confrontations you will end up needing them.
Stow the tude rude ass Asian female or go back from where you came and stop darkening the landscape with your rude trouble seeking petty trifling selves.

- Security Trumps Convenience
-
I've been reading how the need for security in computer operations is finally sinking in somewhat.
Trust is a rapidly diminishing commodity for the online purveyors of services to be rendered, social media, and the rest of that internet devoted to the pursuits of cyberidiocracy and the less than skilled devotee at the keyboard.
The cyberslugs like Yahoo and it's 3 billion user information dissemination, facebook and it's endless compromises for it's users, and even the negligent and incompetent Equifax which suffered no consequences and still gets to peddle credit information when it should have been shut down with extreme prejudice ...
But I digress.
The issues of security now lay at the feet of the user. You get to pick and choose those services you will or will not use. You get to go down that road fraught with integrated development environment coders who really don't know how to "write" more than "drag and drop" modules of existing code and "call" themselves programmers.
The bottom line here is that which you do tommorrow depends on what you are doing today. If you can't keep track of your own security needs then you are eventually going to lose things you'd really rather not ... like passwords, personal financials, documents and communications it's all there for the taking.
Those implementations will be offered by some. Where they are not you should take the opportunity to invoke that strong password or utilize that encrypted data stream with the vpn of your choice.
Personally, I am a preemptive strike kind of guy. I want to firewall you before you get too grabby around my stuff. That's why I have written log crunching scripts to tell me when problems are brewing and even automating the firewall of certain infractions without personal intervention.
No I don't trust you. Yes I will throw up my shields at a moment's notice. The internet is a mean and scary place and too many of you frequent those dens of inquity called social media where they're out to either influence you or steal your stuff or both.
I permit entry to my node as long as you appear to behave yourself. One false move and it's over. The rest of you need to increase that caution and step up your security measures too.
The 1980s are over.

- Random Acts of Kindness Day
-
I like to think of myself as a relatively kind individual. I feel less so since I went to work in government and began to encounter all manner of panhandlers on Main Street. I tell you, keeping a stack of dollar bills becomes difficult when everyone is hitting you up because they're on hard times. It's not that I don't feel sympathy for them ... it's just the practicalities of eating and living indoors create a barrier to those provisions for others I don't know who could really use some help.
Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. It celebrates being kind to others as well as that mentality called "pay it forward" where a kind act is passed on to another as payment to the person who provided it. Those recommended activities for the day involve service to others and charity for those around you. I shall make the attempt to try and help at least one person today in the spirit of the observance.
Many times lending a helping hand doesn't involve cost at all. We'll see how it all goes !

- Virtue Signaling
-
We have another area of fake news propagation between people. This interaction involves publicly expressing opinions or sentiments in an attempt to demonstrate good character some semblance of morality on one or more issues.
The problem with virtue signaling is the sincerity of some of those who utilize it in social media and elsewhere to fein an evolved personality when in actuality those expressed ideations may not even be true representations of that which a person may wish to cultivate with their peers.
All of this pretty much ends up being some sanctimonius farce for the pretentious adoration of the fellow fakers of which there are innumerable examples throughout these outlets for irrelevant drivel called social media.
Couple this with the leftist penchant for boasting beyond truth and reality and outright lies to attain that end of democratic voters and we're pretty much in a downward spiral from which we may never recover.
This is what happens when a stupid generation of burger flippers gives rise to an even stupider generation of millenials.
The social justice warriors can go right on screaming about my rights ending where their feelings start but one truth remains evident: there is a reality that doesn't exist in the lives of some of the individuals claiming to be the epitome of goodness and light.
Have a little dignity for a change ... or at least something that is REAL.
Those practicalities of paying the bills and existing in a hostile world fall far short to the signaler of virtue who dispenses the story desired on any faddish whim fading through that patent leather subculture called fantasy.
Been there. Done that. Went nowhere.
