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.

  • 20100513-More Spooks

    The next door neighbor, namely Juan M., is a total idiot. We saw that our shared fence was caving into our property due to junk propped up against the flimsy wood. I swear! How much longer will that damn, free-loading foreigner get deported back to Honduras! WTF is wrong with America?

    Paw went next door that day and informed the nutball LoLinda, who in turn told that loser of a husband to remove the objects, which are plywood and other building material leftover from the dismantling of a room and bathroom, which he built but illegal due to not according to city code!

    Honestly, these certain groups of people, shall I say, LOW-CLASS, do NOT deserve their green-cards. Only the Lord knows why these fools are even allowed to stay and ruin it for everyone else. To tell you the truth, these groups of LOW-CLASS do NOT make very good neighbors. Because they turn the property into `basuras`.

    I took photos of the obvious leanings of the one of the main wooden posts to the shared fence.

  • 20100515-Auto Woes

    After getting my haircut this morning, Paw and I went to the Quality Lube. Only I found out that the Pennysaver.com coupon doesn’t cover TEST ONLY for Smog Certification. The oil, lube and filter covers only SAE 10W/30. I needed SAE 5W/30 motor oil.

    I decided to try to SpeeDee, where I usually get my oil change. I didn’t have to get an oil change because my sticker reminder said for 69,000. So I had another 2,000 miles to go. That place referred me to a TEST ONLY place.

    Before Kevin W. processed the certification, he smelled gasoline leaking! He checked underneath the hood to make sure it’s safe and he found out that an `O-ring` doesn’t work near the gas tank.

    Kevin spoke to us in Chinese, thinking we understand but physiologically appear of ancestors originating off the mainland.

    He referred me the nearby auto repair shop, where Duke found out there may be also a possible crack for the fuel pipe area near where I dispense gasoline! Talk about safety hazards!

    Because we had no ride home, Paw and I decided to go back home to get a second car. We found Maw chucking peanuts from their shells. Then we drove back to drop off my car for repair, which should hopefully be finished next Monday.

    The whole ordeal may have saved my life and others, too.

  • 20100515-Beautiful Day

    Today is beautiful. The skies are clear and blue. The sun is shining and the air is warm enough that the parakeets got their fresh air after around 2:00pm. I got my haircut from Kim at Highlight Hair Salon this morning around 10:30am.

    Addendum-Last edited by Flynn on Sat, May 15, 2010 at 19:31:00 pm: There was a large sylph, very faint but right after dropping off the car for repair.

  • 20100515-Trying Theme

    I’m changing WordPress.com themes again! This time it’s:

    Connections by Patricia Müller

    A super classy two-column theme with widgets and a customizable header.

    PROs:

    • Georgia fonts. Easy to read.
    • Top navigation bar.
    • Time stamp for single view only.
    • Narrow wrapper width.
    • Classic `cross-hairs` for bullet listing instead of disc type.
    • Normal creamy green colors. Matches header image nicely.
    • Custom header. This time it’s an orange sunrise with 12 sun rays over green fields of six rays.
    Orange Sunrise
    Orange Sunrise

    CONs:

    • Nothing except would have preferred time stamp for post entries viewed from front/home page.

  • 20100515-Rising Up

    The other day I was thinking about non-violence. Then I saw people rising up against tyranny and oppression. And the means to get what they want is through violence. I see mobs of upset people, who are going up against the police force, the security personnel, the military defenders, the lawmakers, the money changers, whoever happens to offend.

    Now this is exactly what TPTB wants – let the common person/worker/labor fight and defend themselves. The bottom of the food chain includes, for example, psychotic cops, who hide behind their protection of shields, armor and masks and their weapons of batons, pistols and other tools of the trade.

    However, they too have family. But in order to put food on the table, they work as thugs who fight off other thugs. And in recent news these thugs include pissed-off people from Greece, Arizona, Bangkok, etc. You name it. TPTB are just sitting back and observing how much `stress` society could handle without money, food, water, clothing and shelther. Bruhaha!

    Apparently, these mindless children are finding it difficult to be weened off government assistance. Those free loading, lazy bums cannot get enough of hand outs that they take to the streets and cause all sorts of ruckus, destroying businesses, setting things on fire, just plain injuring each other.

    And what is the point? They want to be heard. They want the ones on top to come down to their level and play with them; so they know what it’s like being on the bottom. You know what? That’s not going to happen. Why? Because the big boys got other hired thugs who are hungry psychos, willing to kill.

    Now why doesn’t everyone take a hint? The media is wealthy. The talking heads with their white teeth and snazzy clothes are wealthy. The irritants of the ear holes working behind the microphones are wealthy, too. And there they are – sticking nonsense into peoples’ mind to get angry, get mad, get back at anything that doesn’t go their way.

    Wow! The plan worked too well! And people are by nature supposed to be peaceful. Yet when survival is at stake these fools become violent. Where’s the God of mercy here? Nowhere, I suppose.

  • 20100514-Noticing Numbers

    Yesterday there were lots of double digits for the number two, for example a grocery receipt showed $2.26 for change.

    Today I see another message to moi! A previous blog entry – 20100514-Bloody Truth – showed a time/date stamp of Fri, May 14, 2010 at 15:13:33 pm. Notice the triple digits for the number three!

    Ack!

  • 20100514-Bloody Truth

    So after editing my `Parables` page from ISV to KJV, I was thinking about the Blood of Christ. Realistically, I don’t know about the Christ crucifixtion because most of us were not there to witness that event. Some, however, claim to have remembered from what I’ve read online.

    Then I recall reading an old forum thread about Merovingians and their royal blood line. And how families fight among themselves for power. I also believe they exist close to heart, if not mind, body and soul. I could feel and sense their presence – ever watching, always listening.

    But I’m not too sure, of course. Only faithfully believing in a Savior is what keeps most of us humans going, I suppose. But I also believe that people have a choice to act in accordance to the Christ – his teachings and following in peace. That’s all I have to say about this topic.

  • 20100514-Changed Version

    After reading a dedicated blogger’s `version` of which Bible is less evil and corrupt than the other, I have decided to change my `Parables` page. Originally it was International Standard Version. Why? Because it sounded more modern and more comprehensive. Little did I know that it was Satanic and such.

    For now, the current version of my `Parables` page is `King James Version`. I was just thinking about the Italiano – James T., a former co-worker from the `Collections Department`. So every time I see that Biblical version, I think of him and Leoni R., whose Methodist congregation refers to the King James Version. It’s a small world.

  • 20100514-Feeling Dizzy

    I’ve been feeling dizzy as if I wanting to swoon to sleep. I assume its from taking too much Niacin supplement, getting up too fast from my catnap, pooping too much, eating too little calories or maybe my neck if off again.

    My head continues to be filled with pressure and I suspect the sensation is being caused by those nosy people with special gifts. These persons cannot seem to mind their own business. The only data I could give to you is to read my blogs. Those contain truth. Even the FEDs/intel are no good.

  • 20100513-Political Party

    On Thursday, the three of us inquired what happened with our party affiliation. We had made the changes last year and the guy (with a gut and beige-colored shirt) CHANGED it that day!

    I further inquired on what is the different among the political party and got a two-paged `Political Party Statement of Purpose`. Here is the .pdf file from the `California Secretary of State` website: Political Party.

    Below is the text to the .pdf file:

    PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY

    Voting for Peace and Freedom Party candidates means voting to stop the killing now and end this stupid, brutal war. Our party saw through the lies and opposed this war from the beginning. Vote for immediate withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan!

    The Peace and Freedom Party works for the needs of working people, not the rich. Vote for decent jobs for all, for doubling the minimum wage, to end poverty and homelessness.

    Vote for us to support taxing the wealthiest Americans and their corporations to provide a decent life for the working people who create all of America’s wealth. We need free quality education from preschool to the university level. We need good medical care for everyone. We need to protect and restore the environment.

    The Peace and Freedom Party actively fights discrimination, corruption, oppression, and exploitation. We believe that working people should own and run the economy for everyone’s benefi t. Register and vote Peace and Freedom Party for a better California and a better world.

    State Central Committee primary endorsements: Jordan (Governor), Alexander (Lieutenant Governor), Akin (Secretary of State), Barrón (Controller), Sanders (Treasurer), Harrison (Attorney General), Condit (Insurance Commissioner), Feinland (Senate). Please check our websites for more information.

    GREEN PARTY

    The Green Party is a values-based, international political phenomenon, with thousands of offi ceholders worldwide in elected municipal, county, and federal public offi ces. Since 1992, the Green Party of California (GPCA) members and candidates have promoted and represented Green Party key values for California voters.

    The 145,000-strong GPCA membership is an integrated federation of community-based Locals and Regional Councils. Consensus and gender balance ideals prevail. General Assembly delegates convene semi-annually at plenaries to explore and discover political policies that will realize Green values, among them, living wages, affordable health care and housing, and an end to the war in Iraq.

    Green volunteers populate GPCA committees and working groups that interact to build party membership, elect Green candidates, manage fi nances, advise on rules and procedures, and publicize party policies. Greens advocate for electoral reforms such as proportional representation, instant run-off voting, and publicly fi nanced campaigns, which maximize representation, save resources, and create a level candidate playing field.

    GPCA caucuses include Labor, Disability, Lavender, Black, People of Color, Ethnic Minority, Rural, Candidates, Women’s, Campus, and Secular Greens.

    The Green Party of California offers voters the attainable politics of peace, ecological wisdom, and social justice.

    Vote your conscience. Vote Green.

    LIBERTARIAN PARTY

    The Libertarian Party is as American as apple pie. Like you, we have jobs, businesses, families, and dreams. We’ve entered the political arena to restore liberty and American values. We’re working toward a government that taxes and spends less, and won’t interfere with your personal life.

    If you describe yourself as socially tolerant and fi scally responsible, you’re a Libertarian!

    We believe you—not the government—should decide how to run your life, checkbook, retirement, education, and family.

    The Libertarian Party supports your right to:

    • keep what you earn. Reduce or eliminate taxes whenever possible.
    • run your own business and enjoy your property. Reducing regulations and paperwork creates more jobs, higher pay, and lower prices.

    • choose your own lifestyle. The government shouldn’t consider you a criminal because of your choices in relationships, recreation, or medical treatment.
    • truly equal treatment under the law regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, or personal characteristics.
    • own a firearm. Self-defense is a right, not a political favor.

    REPUBLICAN PARTY

    Republicans are proud of the leadership provided to our state by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Governor Schwarzenegger eliminated the car tax that crippled Californians. His economic policies have helped create over 450,000 new jobs in California. His program for workers compensation reform has saved businesses money and has kept jobs in California.

    Now, through his Strategic Growth Plan, the Governor is laying the groundwork for a systematic program of fi xing our roads and bridges and rebuilding California’s infrastructure, all without raising taxes. This will attract new jobs and new opportunities for future generations of Californians.

    The Republican Party, under the leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger, represents the best chance for freedom and opportunity for every Californian.

    Re-electing our Governor and other Republicans to offi ce will help ensure schools that are safe and accountable; hold the line on taxes; and keep growing California’s economy. Join us in helping build a better California that provides opportunity for our families today, and for future generations.

    NO POLITICAL PARTY STATEMENT RECEIVED FROM NATURAL LAW PARTY

    `The order of the statements was determined by lot. Statements on this page were supplied by political parties and have not been checked for accuracy by any official agency.`

  • 20100514-Imginary Flavorings

    I love eating. But since I’m getting old and the old one gets, the metabolism SLOWS down! I could no longer eat my favorite junk foods with gusto. The three of us are cutting back on food and eating healthier. I have yet to see the weighing scale do me justice in lower numbers! Dammit!

    Anyway, my mind started creating again. Usually the mornings are good times for blogging material but since I’m away from my computer and I cannot recall my precious thoughts due to OLD AGE, those don’t get entered.

    Here are some food worthy mention associated with situations:

    • `Dark forces` are like the chocolate coverings to ice cream cones. I use to love eating ice cream after dinner. But the high sugar content put me into a deep sleep. In order to get into the ice cream, one must eat through this chocolate covering (`dark forces`). It’s more delicious when the flavoring is fudge!
    • Hazy, white washed clouds created by HAARP are like cotton candy that one would find at fairs. I would get my imaginary stick and start `gather` the offending blockage of my sunshine (for the much needed Vitamin D for us old timers) and create a blob of cotton candy, which is good enough to eat but bad for the teeth.
    • Oil spills are like blood oozing out of Mother Earth. The stuff is sticky and gross. The dead plant matter and such are supposed to be turned into petroleum products, such as Vaseline, which is good for moisturizing dry skins. The offending stuff could be chocolate fudge, thick and delicious – the food of the Gods happen to be cocoa.

  • 20100514-All Gone

    `To loose something` or `anything essentially gone` in Filipino is said as: `Na wala.` or `Na kada wala.`

    At around 12:09am (PDT), I came across the following Yahoo! News:

    Money transfer ‘hawala’ trouble anti-terror probes
    By DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press Writer David B. Caruso, Associated Press Writer – 33 mins ago

    NEW YORK – Long before there was MoneyGram and Western Union, people in South Asian countries often used an informal network of brokers, called an “hawala,” to transfer money over long distances when it was too inconvenient or dangerous to send cash by courier.

    The networks operate like this:

    A person who wishes to send cash abroad visits a broker, who takes the money plus a fee of around 5 percent. The broker then contacts a counterpart in the country where the money is going and relays instructions on how much is being sent and to whom. Within a day or two, the recipient gets a cash delivery, typically in local currency.

    Usually, the two brokers don’t need to actually exchange any money. Instead, they essentially work off of IOUs.

    For a U.S. immigrant of modest means, the system has great advantages. You don’t need to have a bank account.

    Plus, the whole system is built on trust.

    […], U.S. authorities have had a difficult time shutting the networks down.

    This article is true: I know. For a long time, VISA fraud and illegal aliens are problem areas. And my hunch has been correct all along! The tentacles definitely include Muslim via Jewish pals. Some are of African descent and/or Middle Eastern kines and will have trickled into America along the southern areas and/in around Florida, too.

    —

    Notice, too, the double-digit of three’s in `33 minutes ago` for this particular article. That’s another personal message to moi. In word association, I noticed how the Filipino part of the word `wala` appears similar to the word `hawala`. Freaky, indeed!
