I'm going to be playing German Christmas music on YouTube through the month of January. If Barb asks me what I'm listening to, I'll tell her that it's international music.

Another willful dive to the unpleasantry.
Cause I'm bored. :lol:


There are remarks that I would've disagreed strongly.
There are scenarios that do not fit with my own versions of how it goes.

I observed and see; various excuses. Various rebuttals. 'Did I did that?'

Various words and ideas contrary to the remarks, enriched with the unpleasantness. 'I wanna be heard', 'I wanna give them a piece of my mind'. Validate this idea, that thought, etc.

These thoughts had to be translated to words.

Whatever I may or may not post may take few minutes or several hours. Just for that simple and short remark.
And then there's a headache, in which caused by overflowing thoughts and ideas.
Or maybe overwhelming quantity and the reflex to translate whatever.

In turn this headaches -- in my case, it's usually behind and above my left ear -- caused by unbridled flows of thoughts and emotions, turn into stress and this heaviness one cannot simply shake.
Repeat it enough and not let it go, it'll turn into some form of anxiety.

And this form of anxiety, could produce this stress avoidant behaviors associated with that remark, and where that remarks originated.

Then people complained that ignoring it doesn't work. The truth is that, one does not know how to let it go.


'Why' is this? Well, there are already speculations that's how humans are.
I'd say more like that's how humans brains and therefore minds are conditioned to be.
Some brains and therefore minds are just very prone to it -- like autism.


How do an autistic let it go?
It's already tricky as to how a human in general could've let it go.

Would it be easier or harder for an autistic to do it?
Depends. As do per individual along with their sentiments; what they know and believe.
Go further in this area, I'd be entering a different territory.


So...
Others may suggest distractions. Others may suggest to meditate in it. Others may suggest to take meds, or keep it in or let it out.

How about me?
I don't know. Mine just passes for most part.

What I don't like are these headaches.
As if my head sprinted and it's still sprinting despite it's sore and aching and should stop before it injures itself by overworking.

How does one reason with the brain?
How does one reason with the mind?
How does one reason with the beliefs that is thought with it?
How does one reason itself outside of itself alone?
How does one reason with emotions -- this is an old issue for many.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Yeah, this is a long post.
But so do my previous observation. It's just this one is longer.
And I'm one of those moods right now. :lol:

Why oh why...

A new alternative Christmas Carol.

Scrooge is a butcher. He dismisses some Green Peace pamphleteers. He eats every bit of meat in sight & lives in a house of leather furniture.

He is woken by three ghosts. One takes him back to a time of cannibals, one takes him out to the slaughter house & one takes him forward into a future run by aliens in which humans are harvested for their flesh.

When he wakes in the morning, he goes out and buys the biggest nut roast he can find :lol: From that day on, he never kills another turkey, goose or even chicken 8) He opens a green grocer.

... My mom thought I was bragging just because I like the taste of tequila and lambanog better than white wine.


People yet to figure; I could barely tolerate grape juice -- just like most fruits and beverages out there. Let alone fermented and alcoholic versions of it's fruit and flavor. :?
But it's no mystery I like pure coconut juice -- why not it's fermented and alcoholic versions of it? :lol:

And do not see the connection of that apparently the point isn't the alcohol itself, but simply the base and it's flavor...


Maybe she'd guess it right next time to get an alcohol with base flavors I may actually favor...

Using The Kinks as an avatar today but with a German heart and celebrating Pete Quaife's birthday. I can always switch back to German Santa tomorrow. The screenshot function on my Chromebook and ipiccy are godsends. I thought I'd think about someone other than myself. That person is the original Kinks base player. It's party time! A party without all that London/England talk. :D

It's funny how Mick Avory always seemed to be standing a little farther away from the rest of The Kinks. I think there's a big possibility that he could be one of us. 8)

A major reason I still have my cellphone service with Verizon instead of xFinity mobile is because I do NOT want to put all my eggs in one basket. If my xFinity is having issues with their service my Verizon should still work & vice-versa. When xFinity won't work I can still use my Verizon to make phone calls, text, & use the net some. & when Verizon won't work I can still use the net to browse the web, email people, or send em texts from my email. That is the way it should be but apparently most sites do not want me to be able to do that. I'm required to have my phone & home internet working together for me to be able to log in to some sites. It's bad enough I have to put in a bunch of personal date in order to sign up for various sites & they keep nagging me about updating it every week or every time I log in. Why am I not allowed to verify that data to have access instead of requiring that my phone is rite on me & powered up :?: If they really gave a cr@p about security they would require much less personal data & actually let customers know when there was a breach instead of covering it up & expecting their customers to enter a ton of sensitive info about themselves to be stored on their system which got breached.


I agree. I am annoyed by this new security measure.

When I got my new (reconditioned) iphone from gazelle, suddenly apple wants to verify everything via my ipad, which drowned in the Buffalo River in October. WTF? I figured out a way around it, but how does apple even know I have an ipad? My ipad does (didn't) not have phone capabilities.
That is very confusing & frustrating. If I don't have my phone next to me when I log into my bank they give me a list of multie choice questions on info I NEVER gave em. Like which year I graduated high-school & which property I owned which of corse is None Of The Above since I never owned any. Last time I tried logging in like that, the security system blocked me out & told me to call customer service. I called today & I gave my account number, address, phone number, birthday, & last four didgits of my Social Security Number. Then the modaf#ckin system had the lady ask me those types of security questions. A couple of the questions were 1s they never asked me before, What age range is my mom & What state has my dad previously or currently lived. I knew those answers of corse but then the lady said that for this kind of lockout I need to go to a branch with my ID. Why the f#ck am I being asked for info I NEVER gave them :?: The system could of easily got bad information from somewhere. I looked my bank number up & it's legit. This makes NO sense. They updated their online system months ago & I guess they're still getting bugs out. Going to my bank is a pain rite now cuz of Covid cr@p. The lobbies are only open by appointment. The lady said I could walk in the drivethrough but I kinda doubt they'd be able to fix the problem while I'm there instead of the lobby. Plus I'd have to wear a mask during my bus ride & whole time I'm out. Also my ID expired on my birthday in November. The DMV is also open by appointment only. There was a way I could order an ID.online but it takes a long time for IDs to arrive. I didn't think about ordering it online till a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure my bank would let me use an expired ID for this. I should of got my Social Security Disability today & I have bills I need to pay but I cant log in to my bank site to see how much I have in there.

I have trouble with those kinds of questions, even the secret questions to which I provided the answers, such as where did you honeymoon? I know where, but did I capitalize the first letter? did I put a space between the two words? If not, did I capitalize the second word. Pretty soon, I am locked out. Drives me crazy. 8O

I have just been listening to this - and right after, I saw a firework, that made med feel that I was moving through a meteor storm.
The purity of both was overwhelming.

The only things that I ate today was a small scone and a big bowl of popcorn. Perhaps I can invent poppeas in the new year.

On a whim, I tried to learn actual portrait drawing. I suck at it because I suck at proportions. :lol:

Starting this tutorial...?

And, well.. I tried to fill the rest myself. :o
Now I'm just drawing from random portraits.
