Flynn's Paws: My Thoughts, My Gripes

Tag: myBlogging-category

Describing my immediate surroundings towards the beginning and a twist to the tale or possible solutions to issues towards the end of some blogs and how they relate to my expectations of the world at large.

  • Take Charge

    I just read an article about how one could “Change It”: If you don’t like it, change it. Each is accountable for what they want and the choice each makes is the end result.

    Well! Do you think I could win against the government, waste my time in court trials, pay exorbitant amounts of charges and fees and make a public humiliation about TPTB and pals?

    Every time I read stuff about self-help, it makes me sick. Frankly, when the situation gets to the point of helplessness, that’s it. End of story. Check mate.

    Who wants to play another game?

  • Windshield Wipers Work

    Whoo! Hooo! It’s raining since this morning. And yesterday’s tune-up was a “god-send”, really. Today, I got the chance to see how the new wiper blades work! It doesn’t leave streaks like the old ones! Plus, Maw noticed how smoother the ride is from the flush/change of both the oil and brake fluids. I’m glad the plant life – trees and flowers – and the animal life are getting some watery relief during this long Indian Summer. I just don’t know what to do with my breaks at work for the whole week if I’m trapped indoors due to the rainy seasons. Waaahhh!

  • 20101015-Trying Theme

    So I’ve switched WordPress.com themes again. While I love the larger-than-life fonts and rainbow colors of the most recently added theme “Spectrum”, I wanted something simple, like “Tarski”, which has templates for the “Archives” and “Links” pages.

    But I discovered this rather old (but still new) WordPress.com theme works nicely:

    Paperpunch by The Theme Foundry

    A clean and versatile theme featuring a subtle, textured background. Paperpunch features a widget-ready sidebar and four additional footer columns to display all your widgets. Read more about Paperpunch →

    Since I couldn’t have a FAIRY-TALE DREAM of unicorns, butterflies, rainbows, clouds, and flowers somewhere on my blog;  I’ve browsed online, saw one that looked “normal”, uploaded and cropped a background image which had the “spectrum” of rainbow colors:

     

    Rainbow Spectrum
    Rainbow Spectrum

     

    Then with the current “Custom Background”, I’m able to get a “Display Options” of Position: Right; Repeat: Tile Horizontally; Attachment: Fixed; and Color: BLACK (or #000000).

    Addendum-Last edited by FLYNN on 20101015 at 20:06:19 pm: Forget it! I went back to the Twenty-Ten theme by the WordPress team. I must be VERY dis-satisfied with my weblog layout.

    Addendum-Last edited by FLYNN on 20101015 at 20:07:48 pm: Forget it! I went back to the Fusion theme by digitalnature. I must be nuts by now. But alas, I see that the rainbow header looks better on this theme, except the damn sidebar rides up too high and covers the blue and purple rainbow colors, which are more than made up with the purple eye-candy tags.

  • Nothing Common

    Communism and socialism are political systems that force incompatible parties together for the rest of their lives until death do they part. Do not impose. It will make people go crazy. I know. I’ve heard enough from tonight’s versions from two irreconcilable differences.

    —

    “We have nothing in common.”

    ~Boy about the girl at tonight’s table.

    My dear boy: You are correct! That’s going to be a life-long commitment. Separate now and forever hold your peace.

    —

    “The children puts a strain in [our] relationship.”

    ~Mike to moi last week or so…

    “When your kids turn eighteen, just kick them out so that you and your significant other can be together in peace.”

    ~Moi to Mike right afterwards…

    Am I callus? Yes! And I’m blunt, too. It’s reality, folks. Either you are ready and responsible enough to get married or your are not the type to be tied down or hung upside down. Again, certain personality traits are one of freedom, whereby security is just having a companion. That’s all. There’s no need to be an actor and continue to lie to me, to yourself or to others and live a miserable life with a dreadful company in denial.

    “I feel like I’m just living a life and not living.”

    ~Theresa to moi during this noontime lunch walk around the eBay area…

    My dear girl: You need a vacation! Go get a room in a hotel for two days over the weekend. No phones, no contact with the family. Let the husband take care of the family.

    —

    It’s better to be single. Marriage is just another formality. While I despise the word usage of “skankster ho” from my “friendly” commentator, I believe in free-love. That’s right! It’s the cheating game or better yet a common-law marriage.

    Matthew 19:10

    10His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

    The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to Flynn.

  • In Family

    In recent news, I came across a Yahoo! article:

    Barack Obama distantly related to Palin, Limbaugh
    By Rachel Rose Hartman
    1 hr 51 mins ago

    Today’s revelation is yet another reason why I couldn’t squeal about my “little frustrations”. It’s family business. And well a poor person like moi cannot possibly win over those who hold the money bags, the purse strings, the pork barrels, etc.

  • 20101012-Noticing Numbers

    In recent news, I noticed the double-digit number of 33 and the number 69, which is a Piscean symbol and/or something ‘sexual’ – as in the position of mating couples. Also, the incident is located in SAN JOSE MINE, Chile. That closely matches my city located in SAN JOSE, CA (USA).

    Chile choreographs dramatic finish to rescue saga
    By MICHAEL WARREN, Associated Press Writer Michael Warren, Associated Press Writer – 17 mins ago

    SAN JOSE MINE, Chile – Chilean officials prepared to lower two rescuers almost a half-mile into a collapsed mine Tuesday, the precursor to fresh air and freedom for 33 men trapped for 69 days. No one in history has been trapped underground so long and survived.

  • Youngest American Billionaires

    So while lurking on recent Yahoo! news, I came across the youngest billionaires in America. I could just cry! And they are young, too! Some are cute. And some are around my age bracket! And here I am slaving away at a temp job that pays minimum wage! So where do I fit in?

  • Viewing Page

    Last night I switched WordPress.com themes again to

    Blix by Sebastian Schmieg

    A tried and true two-column theme with widgets and a customizable header.

    This morning, I wanted to “View Page Source” of my weblog while tweaking my paid CSS Upgrade.

    But what I found was a bit of tasteless humor:

    <p><!– this is ugly –>
     <span><a href=”[weblog here]” >Next Posts</a></span>
    <span><a href=”[weblog here]” >Previous Posts</a></span>
    </p>

    I guess it’s a generic message placed by the original web designer or TPTB doesn’t like colorful pink, lavender, purple, lime-green, orange and blue. I have a good mind to turn the background to puke yellow!

  • 20100921-Trying Theme

    Bahaha! Have I gone nuts yet? Nope! Why? It’s because I’m trying a new theme here at WordPress.com:

    Fusion by digitalnature

    A flexible theme with a widget-ready footer, custom header image and menu. Layout options include flexible or fluid main column, choice of left or right sidebar, two right sidebars, or a full-width option with no sidebars.

    PROs:

    • Choice between Fixed and Flexible (my choice) widths!
    • Choice between Full Post and Excerpt (my choice); so readers are “forced” to click on the links – READ IT and WEEP!
    • Choice of four layouts: Right Sidebar (my choice), Left Sidebar, Two Right Sidebars, and No Sidebar (Use footer widget area).
    • Choice of uploading header of exactly 980 x 148 pixels. I used the “path.jpg” image.
    • Supports one (1) Theme location, which is the primary navigation for Custom Menus/Links.
    • Supports footer widget area. Using four widgets is recommended by moi.
    • Shows time-stamp on single view of blog/post entry!
    • Features colorful “mouse-overs” (not fly-bys).

  • Distorting Noises

    I noticed recently how distorted the tonality of today’s 10:45am choir sounds like – low and dis-harmonic. I’m thinking everyone here is a reptoid. It would explain why there are lots of fighting going on among the `servers` – from the former Madre Margaret to racial prejudice.

    While attending this morning’s Sunday mass, I kept thinking Satanic rituals – the lighted alter, the Eucharist of FLESH and BLOOD and of course the crucifix of someone and the MEMORIAL prayers. All those imagery kept re-occuring in my mind. The whole mass is like attending a funeral!

    And in recent news:

    O’Donnell makes light of witchcraft comment

    “I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven. I hung around people who were doing these things. I’m not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do. One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it. I mean, there’s little blood there and stuff like that. We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar.”

    Well, so did I but the candles I’ve burned and the prayers I’ve said didn’t seem to work, except maybe an incantation from a book and the opening up an “unknown” portal of some sort at my bedroom window.

    Since the Muslim deal (and their misogynistic and pedophilia ways toward women and girls) fell through the cracks another type of propaganda is surfacing – the  religious worship via Satanism and Witchcraft.

    Now the news media and pals on cable programming are distorting the “freedom of religion” over “one religion” and again pitting one view point against a different angle and offering a counter-balance to social values – to masturbate or not, for example.

    Honestly, masturbation is normal. Take for example the youngest member of my pet parakeet. His name is Buddy and he is VERY talkative and active like his father, Bully. Buddy has discovered the joy of masturbating upon an old mirror of the late JoJo, the parakeet. I’ve taken several videos of the young chap yesterday morning. He just wouldn’t stop. He is truly a happy bird.

    Now you may ask yourselves: “What’s wrong with that?” It’s nothing! As long as no one else is suffering the fate of testicular cancer from too much rubbing, then so be it! Damn! You humans make a big deal about every little thing that is NOT supposed to be taboo.

    Try it! You’ll LOVE it! That is the truth. And the noise can be rather amusing and joyful, too!

  • Share this blog

    After lurking on my favorite spiritual resource for Catholics online, I came across this nifty button. It’s called `AddThis`. It’s the #1 Bookmarking & Sharing Service.

    You can get a button. But if you want sharing statistics, you’d have to register, which I did but my username was from long time ago. So I sent myself an email for both the forgotten username and password and logged myself back into the site.

    You could see the `button` on the sidebar widget titled `Share this blog`. It’s neat!

  • Custom Menu

    Hahaha! I’m having too much fun tweaking my `Custom Menus` via Dashboard >> Appearance >> Menus (or via https://[user name here].wordpress.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php].

    So instead of duplicating the `Contents` page with the drop-down, custom links feature of the top (or primary) navigation bar, I’ve removed forty-four of my precious pages and added only three `custom links`: About, Author and Contact!

    Again the layout to my weblog has been inspired by modeling after my favorite websites online.
