Prepare for another night fighting against the inevitable
|
Prepare for another night fighting against the inevitable I had the best feeling ever again this morning . I woke up in the wee hours of the morning , peeked at the clock and thought - man I have to get up for a work in a while . Then I remembered it was Saturday and I didn't have to go to work at all and I thought - sweet bro we can stay in bed as long as we want , we could stay in bed all day if we wanted to . And then I thought - well yeah , we could but we don't want to stay in bed ALL day you know , we have stuff to do . And than I thought - don't you tell me what to do , I'll stay in bed all day if I want ! And then I thought - don't yell at me you asshole ! And then I thought - fuck you pal , you're the asshole ! And by then I was wide awake . There's a local sports team called the Downtown Falcons . And their mascot is a Saber Toothed Cat . There are a lot of things wrong with this . First of all while "downtown" is technically a locale that's not really specific enough . That's like calling your team the West Coast Ramblers . Or the Across the Way Dragons . And secondly if your name is the falcon why is your mascot something else ? I mean it's cooler than a falcon sure but that's not really how sports mascots work . Hmm so I guess there's really only two things wrong with it which isn't a lot . Also while it bugs the hell out of me if I had the chance to name a sports team it's probably the kind of thing that I would do - a mildly weird confusing name only funny to me .  When I was a they thought they the "sabers" of the smilodon were used to stab prey . Now they "know" that would break them and they have no idea what they were for - they basically make it impossible to bite anything so if anything they were a detriment . Being a archeologist must be pretty dope - dig up some bones say "we don't really know what this is or have anyway to ever find out so . . . you know . . . whatever ." I used to have a partial skull of a saber toothed cat when I was a that my dad got me through a friend who worked for a museum . My sister broke it of course . I was telling one of my many sister's torturing me stories at work and one dude was like "why didn't you ever get them back ?" And the answer is that there really was no way to get back at them . They didn't care about anything . There was no way to hurt them . You know what I've found myself saying a lot lately "That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough to dispute it ." I should really learn more things . After Mexico gained it's independence from Spain they had a ton of territory in what is now the US that they didn't have people to settle in - there were native Americans there of course but no one cared about that as per usual . So the deal was you could settle there in semi-autonomous communities as long as you recognized the central authority of the Mexican government and converted to Catholicism . As you might imagine the conversion of a lot of these folks was pretty shaky . I read several accounts where women in these towns would have contests to see who could give the local priest the most noticeable erection . Which sounds crass but this was before entertainment was invented people had to do something to pass the time until they died of consumption . I've always thought that the forced conversion thing was obviously self defeating but I just finished reading a book about the inquisition in Portugal and it kind of worked . The New Christians as they were called initially did keep their original religious practices going in secret but after a few generations that pretty much died out - it was just safer to keep your family ignorant . I feel like I may have mentioned this before but this lead to some weird situations later on when these families got out of Portugal to Amsterdam and London where it was (sort of) okay to be Jewish and all these women and were told by their husbands "oh FYI we're not really catholic , be a lamb and abandon your heartfelt religious convictions okay ?" "fun" fact the death knell of the Inquisition in Portugal was caused by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, the anniversary of which is tomorrow . It is still one of the deadliest earthquakes in history . After that the inquisition just never really got back together . The earthquake accentuated political tensions in the Kingdom of Portugal and profoundly disrupted the country's colonial ambitions . As the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects over a large area , it led to the birth of modern seismology and earthquake engineering . Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

I often wonder why I write a blog that rarely has anything to do with sex on a sex site . I wonder even more often why anyone would read such a blog . Putting clients first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put clients (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

because you need to write. and because you write so well it really doesn't matter where you put it, people will find it and read it. although i will admit, it would likely find more readers not here, than here. i think you're brilliant. so maybe you're hiding out....witness protection? or maybe it's the immediate feedback/ You cannot conceive the many without the one.

I mentioned your "the earthquake was the end of the inquisition" theory to the guide on my trip (who is Portuguese) and her reply was, "Wellllll, sorta." According to her there was a political figure at the time who hated the guy leading up the Inquisition, so he framed him for a crime.
