My "rosebud"

fluxxx — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 05:27:28 GMT

I'm back from China, with many pictures and stories. I'll post again, when I've got the pictures up. For now, I'd just like you to know that I've gotten back to my "rosebud" (ala Citizen Kane); the thing I gave up as a child, that I spent my entire life trying to get back to, or to somehow make up for. It is hockey. I feel so completely Alive on the ice, and so "present"; like I really am where I'm at, not distracted by anything, not thinking about the future or the past or other people or myself, just hockey. And it is a hell of a great exercise program. I don't fit in my jeans anymore, even though I've only lost about 5 pounds. All the weigt is going where it is supposed to go. And it doesn't take an ounce of motivation to "get my ass to the gym". In fact, it is kinda hard to keep from playing so much that it impacts my work. I played over lunch on Friday, and my save percentage went up by over 10 percent from where I was before I left.

It's getting better all the time.

fluxxx — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:06:07 GMT

It really is. My life has been on a constant upward thrust for long time now. I'm really amazed and grateful. About 5 years ago, when I resolved to make some fundamental changes in the quality of my life, my imagination wasn't even big enough to conceive of the life I'm now living. To wit, I had given up on ice hockey in Jr. High School. There were a lot of good reasons I didn't play. "I don't have the time, and besides, I'm not that young anymore." But there was a little part of me that was sad when I'd sit in the stands and watch a game. About a year ago, I got fed up with that, and decided to make it happen. And now, as you may have heard, I'm going to China for 11 days to play hockey, starting this Saturday. We will be playing in Beijing, Changchun, and Harbin. And, of course, we'll be spending some time with the locals, enjoying their "delicacies". Have a great time tonight, be safe, and Happy New Year.

Marketing ... disambiguated

fluxxx — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:19:27 GMT

The buzz word in today's business world is MARKETING, however, people often ask for a simple explanation of "Marketing." Well, here it is: 1. You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed. " --> That's Direct Marketing. 2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says, "She's fantastic in bed." -->That's Advertising. 3. You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed." -->That's Telemarketing. 4. You see a guy at a party; you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I?" and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way,I'm fantastic in bed." --> That's Public Relations. 5. You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." -->That's Brand Recognition. 6. You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend. --> That's a Sales Rep. 7. Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you. -->That's Tech Support. 8. You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing, so you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!" --> That's Junk Mail. 9. You are at a party; this well-built man walks up to you and grabs your ass. --> That's the Governor of California. 10. You liked it, but twenty years later, you & your attorney decide that you were offended. --> That's America.

Back before spam. (Yes, there was such a time. And yes, some of us had email then.) there was a common practice of forwarding jokes to your friends. It was kinda like a chainletter list you wanted to be on. I had two mail aliases, the one my mother was on, and the superset of that for offensive jokes. Anyway. People almost never forward jokes to each other anymore. But if you are so terribly bored that you are still reading this, then you have time to enjoy this joke.... (btw, you may start to notice a correlation between the icon and category of some of my blog posts.) A cowboy walks into a bar and two steps in; he realizes it's a gay bar. But what the heck, he says to himself, "I can really use a drink." When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the cowboy, "What's the name of your dick?" The cowboy says, "Look, I'm not into any of that, all I want is a drink." The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your dick. Mine for instance is called Nike, for the slogan 'Just Do It,' and that guy down at the end of the bar calls his, Snickers, because it really 'Satisfies.'" The cowboy looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over . So the cowboy asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of yours?" The man looks back and says with a smile "Timex," and the thirsty cowboy asks, "Why Timex?" The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!" A little shaken, the cowboy turns to two fellas on his right, who happen to be sharing a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you guys call yours?" The first man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because Quality is Job One." Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford lately?" The guy next to him then says, "I call mine CHEVY, 'Like A Rock.'" and gives a wink. Even more shaken the Cowboy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name He exclaims, "The name of my dick is 'SECRET' Now give me a damn beer." The bartender begins to pour the Cowboy a beer, but with a puzzled look asked, "Why Secret?" The cowboy says: "Because it's STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!"

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy 2. Create a gulag 3. Develop a thug caste 4. Set up an internal surveillance system 5. Harass citizens' groups 6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release 7. Target key individuals 8. Control the press 9. Dissent equals treason 10. Suspend the rule of law So far, the consensus is that the GW Bush adminstration has accomplished either 9 or 10 of these steps.

Oh no! Less Public Confidence!?!?

fluxxx — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 00:23:50 GMT

"NASA withholds results of a survey of pilots that suggests safety problems including near collisions occur far more often than the government has recognized. The survey's findings could damage public confidence, a NASA official says." http://news.aol.com/story/_a/nasa-wont-disclose-air-safety-survey/20071022065209990001 So, lemme get this straight.... The safety of millions of air travelers is at risk. NASA spent $8.5 million of the taxpayer's money to find out what the risks are. But we're not going to have any public debate about it because "revealing the findings could damage the public's confidence in airlines and affect airline profits." Great. Next they're going to say that the results of the study are classified because they contain a National Security Risk. Do you remember the good old days? Back when the public would be outraged at the government for stuff like this?
