Flynn's Paws: My Thoughts, My Gripes

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.

  • 20100524-Not Enough

    After Hurricane Katrina during the watch of Former President George W. Bush, I felt not enough was done to help the people. Not enough was done to rebuilt a broken economy. At that time I also picked up that the devastation left behind was not enough.

    This is true and look at what is happening a second time around: This time the disaster is not caused by `acts of God` but by `acts of pigs, err, I meant, men`, who spilled oil, not from oil tankers, such as the one done by Exxon Valdez, but by explosions of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

    I’ve been picking up that the people, mostly blacks, living in and around the areas of Louisiana coast lands have not been `eliminated`. I’ve also felt that the fishing is so outmoded that the business industry was next in line to be `eliminated`, too.

    Personally, there are ways to domesticate fish, such as fisheries, you know like farming fishes, instead of old farts going off in diesel-powered fish boats to catch fish and such. It’s so old school.

    Anyway, that’s my take. Also, those illegal ALIENS who are trying to smuggle drugs and traffi humans will have a hard time navigating around the oil spill. Surely, these criminals from Mexico and other surround Hispanic areas would not want to get `bogged down` (sorry for the pun) by the oil slicks and get stuck in a sticky ooze of death.

  • 20100524-Trying Theme

    Sorry, folks! It’s my blogging addiction again! My creative insanity and artistic impatience couldn’t help it: I had to edit my paid CSS upgrade to an old WordPress.com theme:

    Almost Spring by Becca Wei

    A light and simple two-column theme graced with greens and oranges.

    In order to accommodate different screen resolutions and for those using the ZOOM-in feature of their web browsers, the `width elements` have been adjusted:

    • wrapper is `auto`;
    • content is `65%`; and
    • sidebar is `30%`.

    In addition and in consideration of those cultures (such as Hebrew and Japanese, for examples only) that read from right to left, I’ve set the `sidebar element`of introductions to the `right` with the `content element` of reading materials to the `left`.

    Check it out! Check it out! Check it out!

  • 20100524-Always Hungry

    Hungry ghosts:

    A hungry ghost is a ghost that “eats” the emotions of living humans or whose actions are driven by emotions leftover from its previous life.[citation needed]

    Pretas:

    Pretas are believed to have been jealous or greedy people in a previous life. As a result of their karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger [and thirt] for a particular substance or object.

    Yesterday, the girl gave us food to eat: one cheese, two types of salad dressings, two containers of fruits – watermelon and mango. Today, the boy gave up two bottles of Japanese green tea to try. He plans to buy more if we like it because it’s supposed to help with cancer. Both are sincerely thoughtful people. My mind will go but surely my soul will not forget their kindness.

    Eating doesn’t have to be for survival. Sometimes eating can be an addiction, which explain why some people are OBESE! For me blogging daily and spending money are two forms of addiction. These humanized actions eat at my soul. I don’t know when to stop no matter how many times `messages` have been thrown my way. I feel happy living out these destructive addictions but the end results do NOT fulfill my desire to be free. It leaves me feeling empty.

    This could explain why there has been almost ten slong years of delays, snags and simply non-repayment of hard work from a troubled soul. Alas, TPTB do not see what they have done, punish the soul further or perhaps help the soul repay its karma. Whatever the case may be, both sides of the games hunger for more. It’s a sad cycle.

    This could also explain why one soul tries to feed other souls who suffer the same fate of hunger and thirst, despite not having the financial means due to unemployment for the past three years and as a result is on the verge of going bankrupt due to unpaid credit card debt taken out UNWITTINGLY to fuel a previous set of hungry souls prior to learning of the latter set of homeless but good folks.

  • 20100524-Guarding Coasts

    During Sunday morning’s, we sometimes tune into the `State of the Union with Candy Crowley` on CNN. We heard her interviewing Admiral Thad Allen of the United States Coast Guard yesterday. We had always admired Candy and how well she asked questions of her guests.

    Today during the White House briefing, Admiral Thad Allen had spoken again. Our impression was that America knew how to stop that oil leakage. But for whatever reason, BP and pals (namely Halliburton) don’t seem overly aggressive in taking action. And for the next 90 days, the spew will continue from the ocean floor. The briefing took over an hour, ending at 1:22pm (PDT).

    Now, the USCG is supposed to GUARD the COAST. All the government needs to do is make its business cohorts pay now and then the government will take care of the rest. Or if the private third parties got other ideas, it sure is taking a long time! What’s the delay? What’s the snag?

  • 20100524-Big Crater

    Why is the Gulf of Mexico shaped the way it is? Could it have been an old MEGA volcano, now dormant and ready to explode? Is that why some of the oil spill contains some yellow-colored sulfur? Maybe. BP drilled too deep into the ocean floor and they hit magma, which might have caused the `accident` of the oil rigs.

    And why has Louisiana been ravaged by `acts of God` of first Hurricane Katrina (during the watch of GWB) and now by `acts of man` of British Petroleum oil spill (under Obama’s watch)? Are the residence of Louisiana so clueless to realize that their area is plagued with `bad luck` and that they should move out of there? Maybe, something is about to blow!

    And why is the government not doing more to stop BP from getting away with bad business practice? Is is because the BP paid the government to keep their poor track record off the books? And why isn’t BP doing more to clean up their mess in the first place? Don’t they care about making things right for once? What kinds of message will this send to, say, CHINA, that the British and America are still a big corporate business and that because they are the super-world power, which CAN get away with so much crap?

  • 20100524-Cloudy Day

    Today is cloud – lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of gray. The air is cold enough to wear a light jacket. Paw and I went to the USPS to drop off his piece of mail, to Ranch 99 for RIPENED bananas at two pounds for one dollar and then to Williams Water for $3.25 worth of bottled water.

  • 20100523-Overfed Fatty

    I’m overfed. I could feel my stomach trying to burp out air. It’s so overloaded with water and lunch. I should just skip dinner or at least take a laxative. It’s too bad that the weighing scale is truthful. I should just try to exercise more, too. What can I do if living is so good? What can I do if eating is satisfying? I feel fat.

  • 20100523-Won’t Forget

    I won’t forget what the twosome has done. Forgiving them is not my forte. It’s who they are: snots. And here are a couple of old farts telling me to stop crucifying the girl. Whatever. I’m like my cousin Shill. Once, twice but thrice is enough. So I’m waiting to hear what is their excuse this time for no returning my call. Let me guess: They are busy. They are too tired. They had another party to go to. They didn’t get the message until later on. I don’t care. Calling the fools wasn’t my idea. It was really for the old farts. So there: I’ve done my part. Does that mean I should try harder? F.U. all.

  • 20100523-Critters Inside

    Yesterday during a WM chatting session, we were talking about killing parasites in self-defence. I agree with that part of being human because after watching two shows Discovery Health for the past two hours, I learned that it’s not worth getting parasites inside the body! The shows tell horror stories of people getting infectious diseases.

    Monsters Inside Me

    EPISODE 4 of 6: Masters of Disguise

    Parasites are ruthless, single-minded and above all devious. To become the most prolific life forms in the world takes a degree of cunning that others can only marvel at. Meet the most deceptive parasites on the planet, the “Masters of Disguise.”

    EPISODE 3 of 6: Sex Maniacs

    Perfecting the art of reproduction have made parasites the most successful life form on the planet. There are some who are violent, manipulative and have taken sex to the extreme. These parasites are sex maniacs.

    One story was about a health nut. He loves to go jogging in the woods. He didn’t check for ticks and got a whole lot invading blood that his blood count was down to 29. That mean the baby ticks (or larvaes) were eating up the red blood cells. Also, he felt pain on his side and that was because of an enlarged spleen, which had a hard time cleaning his blood from the critters. He took drugs for ten days and felt better.

    The other story was about a guy with bumps on his scalp. It grew so big that his bicycle helmet wouldn’t fit. At night he heard crunching sounds. One day the doctor covered the affected area so as to suffocate the botfly larvae residing inside his scalp. He heard a popping noise each time the doctor removed the critter.

    Another story was a guy who kept coughing. He thought it was due to spraying trees as part of his job outdoors. He later coughed up blood. What he did was eat RAW craw-fish because it was the normal thing to do in that area. The eggs went inside his guts, then took a long time to travel up his lungs and there they resided for almost seven months before he got some drug treatment and felt better, too.

    So the point is: being outdoors has a price. Critters love human hosts. Humans have tasty blood. That’s how parasites work: feed off the hosts, who are supposed to be smart enough to spray down with insecticides and check for any wounds after enjoying the outdoors! Also, do NOT eat RAW FOOD! That includes vegetables because well bacteria grows on the surface, too! Sheesh!

  • 20100523-Older Farts

    While trying to enjoy the lunch with the two old farts, the female continued to rail on my behavior. This is the price that goes for trying to take care of old farts for living free and clear, secured but without freedom to go naked.

    They are hard of hearing. They are hearing things, too. And they get mad when their young try to correct them. I curse them, of course. I curse my fate. I curse TPTB and pals, too. Do you think I’m happy living like this – unemployed and broke because the thugs and F#Ds are in cahoots with each other? No!

    It was such a beautiful day that crazy people should just be locked up for good. It’s too bad some are still free to roam in public. It’s really sad that family have to put up with people who have been through much and try to smile as if nothing happened and that everything appears normal – when it’s not! Scary.

  • 20100523-Beautiful Day

    Today is beautiful! The sun is shining bright. The skies are clear and blue. The air is warm enough for the parakeets to enjoy some fresh air. We received a call from the boy at 9:00am but we were planning to attend the 10:45am mass: It’s warmer in the mornings than during the evening masses, such as Saturdays.

    We didn’t go to the 12:15pm mass or go to the party held in the parish hall for the old priest. Instead, the three of us found our way to `Phu Sam – Chinese and Vietnamese Restaurant`, which is across from our local USPS at the Pacific Rim Plaza II. The food is good! From now on we will go there and order take out food.

    Then I called the main house number of the twosome for a quick dinner so that they can taste the food we enjoyed at the restaurant.

    I really wanted to see the boy launch his sailboat but because of my karma, I suffered the fate of attending Sunday mass with the old farts. What a life!

  • 20100522-Trying Theme

    This time I’m trying an old WordPress.com theme:

    Tarski by Benedict Eastaugh and Chris Sternal-Johnson

    A relaxing two-column theme, with two spots for widgets and a custom-header.

    It’s just so calm and simple. I didn’t bother adding widgets. The default widgets showed the blogroll `Links` for the `Main Sidebar`; while the `Footer Widgets` is defaulted to one search form.

    The top navigation bar sports five parent pages – About me, Contact me, Contents, FAQ and Notice. There is no drop-down menu. Only when clicking the `Archives` link will the `Main Sidebar` switch from the blogroll links to `Categories Archives`.

    To give the weblog site some eye-candy, I’ve uploaded the WordPress Holiday theme of matching light blue colors as my custom header:
