For those who still do not seem to grok the depth and breadth of sophistication that is only accelerating in surveillance methods and techniques,
RP: Shroud of The Avatar (backstory/introduction)
For those who know me, the notion that I’m posting this is far from surprising. I am an MMO gamer of long time (22+ years! More if you count MUDs, MOOs, MUSH, and of course, BBSs..sss…ss.zzzes!), and I have yearned mightily for a successor to the games that I ENJOYED that time and advances of technology have rendered me too jaded to now enjoy. I watch the announcement of new games across the Internet closer than is comfortable to tell you; their descriptions are woefully thematic and similar. While I am happy people enjoy MOBA style gaming, and I am […]
Factual Attribution Error
I did not place you with Dean & Diane. I placed you with your father. I have no idea how you got from your father’s to Dean and Diane’s, but no one ever talked to me or had me sign anything or even said it was happening. I was contacted by Diane and told I needed to send her child support. I told her I didn’t know what the heck she was talking about, but you were supposed to be living with your dad. She never did tell me how all that came down, maybe you can find out. I […]
My almost family; my almost mother
The hardest part for me was sitting there, driving you back from Yelm to the airport; I was listening as you told me all the many ways that the entire time you were at [children’s home], all you ever really wanted was something else, somewhere else; that you were only there because David wanted it. It was an unexpected clarity, to be sure; but it was also a very painful thing for me to hear. You see, all those years that you weren’t wanting to be there? You were my newest and best mother; the mother I never had, the […]
>=< (pure seed; pattern, anomaly, etc)
The pure seed pattern is that which is present in all things. It is the driver of all evolution, the cycle of all living things, and The singular, paradoxical anomaly in any organized system, and/or/else/not (all non-organized systems). You can find the pattern anywhere that you can develop a way to “look” for it. It follows all defined “laws of physics”, except when it doesn’t, but so far in the human endeavor, all the cases of “doesn’t” rest comfortably in our blind spot. We dismiss them as “failed” for want of “objective certainty” – itself, the impossible state – then […]
Morning thoughts, day 19435
Did you know the United Nations is pushing something called “ID2020“? Have you actually thought about how easy it is to profile and track you thanks to technology you willingly carry in your pocket? So much argument about “whether or not its real”. How real do you need it to be? There is the website. This is the difference between the opinion many accuse me of and the fact to which I am referring. Damnation, the dichotomies. All culture now rife with umbrage, we collapse inward and obfuscate in the name of ‘plausible deniability’ – because resolution is anathema to […]
So this is what parenthood is, it seems.
August 2nd… My daughter is getting married this month to a man she’s known at distance for seven months and in person for almost three months. When I expressed my concern and asked them to at least have a longer engagement to give them time to really get to know one another, it was brushed off as my being too fretful. On the other hand, they’ve decided to have a wedding in Hawaii sans friends or family. As she put it to me, “Why should I spend the time and money to have friends and family involved when they don’t […]

There are so many thoughts bound up here; lessons stippling like raindrops and sieving away about as quickly.
