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.

  • 20060726-New Suit

    So I’ve been struggling to poop and came across page 273 in one of DB’s book. One sentence mentioned something about `a suit made out cement`. For the longest time, I couldn’t figure it out.

    Of course and just like Paw, my imagination of `ADD` interconnects and associates one word or series of words and/or numbers. And this morning I’d like to provide more hints as to the spooks I’ve met online, say around April 4, 2006.

    Around July 26, 2006 and July 27, 2006, the chatter online wanted a new suit. He needed money for a new suit. The amount was the same for another dude. The paper showed his cellphone number of the LATTER dude.

    Based on my hunch, the twosome either knew about each other or the former got a hold of the LATTER via a goof I made at that time. But like I said, when I needed help no one was there. I prayed for answers. I got no response. But I was it – tag.

    That was yet another test of my `sincerity`. I knew nothing then but felt bad about the deception later. My tummy was howling mad and my feet turned ice cold when the former got STUCK. Right there, the sign was not good. But I played along in good faith.

    After all, it’s their karma and their souls that will pay the price. I’m waiting to see how they’ve enjoyed my hard work, knowing full well who they messed around with in the first place.

  • Liking Theme

    I’m liking my new WordPress.com theme. That’s what I like about my blog. It’s weird and at time incoherent because of the emotions put into each post entry.

    PROs:

    It has a header image of a cave of golden hue to match the yellow colors of my Gravatar, which is a sun, and the RSS feed icon of orange. Plus the cave symbolizes that which are beneath us and hidden from plain view.

    As for the background, I uploaded textured gray look.

    The `Theme Options` have two `Color Schemes` of light and dark; five `Default Layout` and two categories – one for `Aside` and another for `Gallery`. I have no ideas what these categories serve.

    The top navigation bar has a drop down menu. The `tagline` describing in a few words what this blog is about is located beneath the `blog title`. Both are nicely centered.

    And it has four bottom widgets! It looks cleaner and more presentable now. Plus, the `auto-width` adjusts to the zoom feature of the browser!

    CONs:

    I still prefer time/date stamps! Waahh!

  • Same Air

    Tonight I asked Maw if Vietnamese and Filipinos are the same. She said something profound:

    “We all breathe the same air.”

    Then I’m still watching the chatting so I could learn something such as:

    “be more grounded and fixed and not let the winds of everything else affect me as strongly”.

    So it is. Whatever is inhaled is either good air or fart. Like the wind blowing, one could buffer against it or be blown away.

  • 20100715-Noticing Number

    While working on my spreadshee at work, I had a deja vu! I was coloring in the cells a light blue color. And guess what? The time stamp from both the Cisco IP Phone 7942 and computer here showed: 11:11am! That’s another double digit for the number one (or eleven).

  • Facebook Sucks

    Computers may be fast but computers are idiots! That’s why people are losing jobs – because of the computers taking over, just like what happened to my job three years ago!

    So I was trying to add two more of my second cousins from my maternal side into my re-activated Facebook.com account and I got the following stupid error message:

    The FAQ page of Facebook doesn’t give me any hint as to why I cannot add anymore people! I hate Facebook!

  • Hot Day

    Today is hot enough to turn on the fans. Why not use the air conditioner? What? And waste electricity? Sweating is by far a good way to remove toxins from the body and to loose water and weight, too. But don’t forget to drink some (but not too much) water to keep hydrated. When the mouth feels parched, that’s a good indicator to drink water.

    Paw watered the plants both in front and in back of the house. One red robin took a brief bath until Paw came out to do the trash and scared it away. Maw hollered as usual. I didn’t care.

  • Ophiuchus – The 13th Sign of the Zodiac

    OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 – DECEMBER 17

    Astrology

    Main article: Ophiuchus (astrology)

    Ophiuchus is not included in standard astrological zodiacs, which divide the ecliptic into abstract 30-degree segments (implying exactly 12 signs) rather than using the physical constellations. However, a few astrologers using a sidereal zodiac use it as a zodiacal sign.

    So does that mean I’m a snake? Hiss!

  • Hymns to Our Mother Of Perpetual Help

    Tonight, we did a procession inside the church while saying the Rosary. Mass was done and food was served after wards. We drove little Monica home to the seniors apartment down the road from the church, too.

    Here are three songs from this evening’s mass:

    IMMACULATE MOTHER

    Immaculate Mother we come at they call
    And low at they altar before Thee we fall
    Ave Ave Ave Maria
    Ave Ave Ave Maria

    In grief and temptation in joy and in pain
    We’ll seek thee our Mother, nor seek thee in vain
    Ave Ave Ave Maria
    Ave Ave Ave Maria

    MOTHER DEAR, O PRAY FOR ME

    Mother dear, O pray for me, Whilst far from Heaven and thee;
    I wander in a fragile bark o’er life’s tempestuous sea.
    O Virgin Mother, from thy throne, so bright in bliss above,
    Protect thy child and cheer my path with thy sweet smile of love.

    **Chorus**
    Mother dear, remember me, and never cease thy care;
    Till in Heaven eternally, thy love and bliss I share.

    Mother dear, O pray for me, should pleasure’s siren lay,
    E’er tempt they child to wander far from virtue’s path away.
    When thorns beset life’s devious way, and darkling waters flow.
    Then Mary aid they weeping child, thyself a Mother show.

    **Chorus**
    Mother dear, remember me, and never cease thy care;
    Till in Heaven eternally, thy love and bliss I share.

    MOTHER OF CHRIST

    Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
    What shall I ask of Thee?
    I do not sigh, for the wealth of earth
    For the joys that fade and flee

    But, Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
    This do I long to see
    The bliss untold which your arms enfold
    The treasure upon your knee

    Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
    I toss on a stormy sea
    Oh, lift your child as a beacon light
    To the port where I fain would be

    And, Mother of Christ, Mother of Christ
    This do I ask of thee
    When the voyage is O’er.
    Oh stand on the shore, And show Him at last to me.

  • New Temp Job

    I’m at my new temp job but for how long? The people are nice. I’m sitting near a slamming door again! But it’s not loud at all. What could this mean? Am I a door-keeper? Hmm.

    I walked around to the front where my car is parked, put on my sneakers, walked to the back with the umbrella and got a few minutes of exercise.

    I couldn’t fax over a signed authorization form for a background check because I don’t have a `user code`, whatever that is.

  • Clouds Ahoy

    Lots of high altitude clouds of white. Popcorns, mackarel and lenticulars! Clear blue skies, of course. Mild weather and cool winds enough to roll the window. Drove us three to spot check the temp job from hell. It’s close to ten minutes drive during non-traffic hours and to eBay headquarters.

  • New Temp Job

    Whoo! Hoo! I’ve got me a temp job from hell for six months of data entry! It starts tomorrow and is located just north of my sister-in-law’s workplace. I’d have to wear black slacks and a nice shirt. Thanks, Emily!

  • Temp Jobs

    Temporary jobs blow. I’m blowing steam not getting a job. One temp job is a data entry position and the head hunter wants a background check. I’m thinking: Screw you! Didn’t I sign up long ago with the head hunter and signed paperwork for a background check and now they want a duplication?

    But my family downstairs said it’s okay. The boy said it’s better to make sure the company is not hiring thugs, drug users, felons, etc. I’m thinking: Screw you! I think it’s more of a privacy issue. They are invading my privacy. Just give me a stupid job behind the computer and pay me accordingly. Background checks are for those who think my last name is Hispanic. This is racial profiling, really.

    As far as General McChrystal is concerned, he did the right thing. Although most people would think that he was being insubordinate, he wanted out due to the frustration of not being able to do the job (as hunter/killer) he was sent out to do because his boss, the president, was not `engaging enough`.

    `She’s insubordinate`.

    ~Corinne A.

    Nope. Like all big companies, she gave me something that was weird and out of my `on-the-job-training`. I knew then that I couldn’t do my own thing without a micro-manager breathing down my neck at every small detail. I heard she wanted to get a lay-off package, which explained her behavior towards `her people` of temp helpers after I left that computerized job.
