Voila, le inboard diesel engine c'est vieux, il marche pas. Il a comme moi, des cuarent-cinq anneés comme moi.


Depuis quelques semaine, comme deux mois, j'attend. Mais maintenant je vois quelque chois interresant. Il parait une blague de SNL: le two stroke long shaft. Mais c'est just what the doctor ordered. We'll see.

Finally kicking it with the argentinos in Avalon.... Playing table tennis

 Table tennis:

https://youtu.be/lYHA_7vxrgc


For months now I've been meeting argentinos on the bus, occasionally chatting in Spanish. Now I've finally found their albergue in Avalon, just walking by to grab my ute half a mile down the road to the Red Herring.


Wow they really love their beer and marijuana. You can smell it everywhere. I effected tremendous skills at the one game I played, succumbing 21-16 or 17 in the end. But really striking some beautiful shots. It's been quite a few years. I played a little with JFK (not his real name) at Willoughby depot. A few years ago, but not at all with him at Mona Vale depot much.


The argentinos speak the voseo Spanish. And are fond of cussing saying concha (literally shell ('vagina') de tu madre). The double l letter is not pronounced as a y but as sh. Calle, street, or, be quiet sir/ma'am, is not pronounced 'car' [sic] yeah, but ka she(tland pony).


See this movie director:

Antony Bowman, he was living in Avalon back in the late 90s. I went to his daughter's birthday party with all the rich privileged kids. I'd just seen his movie with Hugh Jackman at the cinema a little bit before like maybe weeks or months, paperback hero, with Hugh Jackman. I showed him my student film I made first thing at film school and he said to hit him up like in ten years. But I never ended up doing that but would be happy to meet him again and talk film or whatever. Maybe I'll shmooze more with these types now I'm doing acting classes Thursday night. But actually for now I'm happy just hanging out with the argentinos. Although they are super stoned on pot and drunk. It's pretty noticeable.


Did you notice lately Trump made headlines referring to Nancy Pelosi as an 'animal'? But it's interesting he never used any adjectives like hairy, dangerous or wild (sleepy? catholic? cheese munching?). That can be his homework while I play table tennis. My first game was singles but now I'll play doubles with Pablo or someone. Everyone here is super stoned. I can smell it.


Pablo is no good at table tennis and very stoned. These guys play if you lose 7-0 then you don't even play out to 21. That's how bad Pablo and I lost.


Hay que jugar nene.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Was a fairly famous American thinker. Sharing a birthday with myself and Tucker Carlson (Bill O'Reilly's replacement on fox news), May 16th.


Here's one of his better set of quotes:

https://youtu.be/cQEiqksFc3E


He is generally considered a deep american thinker and a kind of stalwart of American respectability in academic circles. However generally he is not given tremendous consideration.


It's interesting to note I was going to post up a little harshly about the man about two or three weeks ago when I came across one of his giddily happy dissertations about religion. I'll see if I can find that again as I found it somewhat annoying and thought it might be interesting to post about it some few weeks ago.


Oh look, Wikipedia said he was born May 25th, maybe they're wrong, not sure about that....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson

Interestingly, he became friends with Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew when sojourning to Florida for the warmer weather for his health, didn't know that. Not surprising. Probably around the time Thomas Jefferson was president....

While in St. Augustine he made the acquaintance of Prince Achille Murat, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. Murat was two years his senior; they became good friends and enjoyed each other's company. The two engaged in enlightening discussions of religion, society, philosophy, and government. Emerson considered Murat an important figure in his intellectual education.


Wow look at that the poor guy married his sweetheart after knowing her for two years, when she was eighteen, two years later she died. Didn't know that either...

Emerson met his first wife, Ellen Louisa Tucker, in Concord, New Hampshire, on Christmas Day, 1827, and married her when she was 18 two years later.[41] The couple moved to Boston, with Emerson's mother, Ruth, moving with them to help take care of Ellen, who was already ill with tuberculosis.[42] Less than two years after that, on February 8, 1831, Ellen died, at the age of 20, after uttering her last words: "I have not forgotten the peace and joy".[43] Emerson was heavily affected by her death and visited her grave in Roxbury daily.[44] In a journal entry dated March 29, 1832, he wrote, "I visited Ellen's tomb & opened the coffin".[45


Oh look he starts some club after becoming disillusioned with the christian church, 


On September 1, 1837, women attended a meeting of the Transcendental Club for the first time. Emerson invited Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Hoar, and Sarah Ripley for dinner at his home before the meeting to ensure that they would be present for the evening get-together.[78] Fuller would prove to be an important figure in transcendentalism.


I'm really only mentioning that because one lady goes by the surname of Hoar and I had that post earlier on this blog: Katie's not a Hoar!  So there you go, Elizabeth in Ralph's transendental club WAS. A Hoar, just to be perfectly clear.


Emerson is so ensconced amongst famous writers and academics both of Europe and america at the time, he's invited to give a graduation speech at Harvard. America is so 'christian' of a certain kind, not only in the deep south and bible belt, wherever that is, but also in the northeast, his relatively moderate and educated words about Christianity cause him to be banned thirty years from Harvard. Today Harvard is almost anti christian compared to those days almost two hundred years ago:


On July 15, 1838,[93] Emerson was invited to Divinity Hall, Harvard Divinity School, to deliver the school's graduation address, which came to be known as the "Divinity School Address". Emerson discounted biblical miracles and proclaimed that, while Jesus was a great man, he was not God: historical Christianity, he said, had turned Jesus into a "demigod, as the Orientals or the Greeks would describe Osiris or Apollo".[94] His comments outraged the establishment and the general Protestant community. He was denounced as an atheist[94] and a poisoner of young men's minds. Despite the roar of critics, he made no reply, leaving others to put forward a defense. He was not invited back to speak at Harvard for another thirty years.[95


Well what I was going to post up a couple of weeks ago was going to be a kind of criticism about Emerson's cheerful reflections on religion as had been listening to one of his books read out and it seemed overly cheerful to me at the time, but clearly he had experienced a lot of grief in his life. Folks in his day tended to die a lot more often from relatively harmless issues nowadays.



Was Emerson opportunistic/mercenary? Was the overly cheerful tone I detected earlier a result of him 'cashing in'? Here's an example, one of their literary circle members, Margaret Fuller dies. Do her surviving literary circle buddies 'cash in' in a mercenary way?....


In February 1852 Emerson and James Freeman Clarke and William Henry Channing edited an edition of the works and letters of Margaret Fuller, who had died in 1850.[123] Within a week of her death, her New York editor, Horace Greeley, suggested to Emerson that a biography of Fuller, to be called Margaret and Her Friends, be prepared quickly "before the interest excited by her sad decease has passed away".[124] Published under the title The Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli,[125] Fuller's words were heavily censored or rewritten.[126] The three editors were not concerned about accuracy; they believed public interest in Fuller was temporary and that she would not survive as a historical figure.[127] Even so, it was the best-selling biography of the decade and went through thirteen editions before the end of the century.

British undercover narcotics detective says just legalize all drugs, disabling organized crime; dumb English rednecks of 60 minutes Australia

Undercover narcotics cop:

https://youtu.be/9UH_zk6B3Rk



In other news, my dopey acting teacher said Ryan Gosling was just in the 'northern beaches' area with his friend in 'Freshwater' and a bunch of folks saw the pair out and about. The dopey acting teacher went on to say he would have liked to talk to Gosling.


I can imagine if he did he would have used the word dean quite a lot: furdean, fourdean, a dean, etc.... (Ie 13, 14, 18 [sic gibberish].....


Oh and did I mention get farked yer farken shluts?


I like 60 minutes Australia when they're uncovering crime and corruption. But part of the nepotistic evil they are absorbed in, is the luxury many dumb dean spouting English rednecks of Australia have enjoyed for decades: the ability to speculate and naval gaze after excluding non ethnic English rednecks and their ass kissers from their ranks.


The end result you get is idiotic meningitis like this:


What will happen when the world runs out of oil? …: https://youtu.be/NsjiWA9VY-I


I can say dean instead of teen AND dumb English redneck nepotism. Wow.

Dreams from a moment ago

 

Was in the Alvarez family suicide garage in western Sydney. Garage door was off and I was near opening. Surprisingly a number of small, unknown species black birds like black finches or something, wanted to be my buddies, like Snow White has bird buddies I guess. Then black dogs also. Coz it was like the spirit world and astral tripping, my mother was home and was happy to see me.


In another section it was like a marvel movie, high buildings in a city and superhero like djinns that could turn into colored smoke like in marvel movie and disappear. One of them was trying to protect someone from like a giant ten storey high robot monster or something, possibly also a djinn disappearing reappearing into smoke/normal form. I saw a marvel movie advertised on tv while getting stitches in my left pinky at hospital today, my second gardening injury with the hedger tool on that pinky spot. Marvel movies look evil and horrible. At least I didn't have to pay $20 to watch some evil marvel rot the cinema.


Also read my kid Snow White just as we were both falling asleep. Anyway those black birds and dogs whatever were alarming me but weren't life threatening or terrifying.


In another part of the dream aforementioned daughter and I are with rest of the family like at Oxford street in Paddington. She's missing on the wrong side of the busy road so I tell her to wait and try crossing the road but it's at a tunnel entry point, more like the criss cross city tunnel on William street Paddington but anyway not the same one as either place just reminiscent. Anyway I manage to make contact and she's able to cross the road that I'm halfway across when the pedestrian light changes.

Spending next two weeks in Newcastle... Doing a community college course on offshore boating

Newcastle music.... These are the kids from like grade 9 at Newcastle high school... We were campus mates in 1994 as I did my last year of high school there....

https://youtu.be/PjsMnvqL7eY


Gee I really like Newcastle. The identity of the city itself makes me see myself and others in a different light. It's a very pleasant feeling there having all that space away from Sydney and still feel like being in a big enough town. Very likeable environment there....


I'll probably just sleep on a mattress on my utility vehicle tray. Tray parker. Nukecastle [sic] has everything. I need to go to the trustee and guardians office in Newcastle town center (God I love that place) to verify my identity for the sake of them safeguarding my Will on their system until I die. They now have my Will. Plus another court matter I have looming, could touch on that in Newcastle also. 


Hi Ben, 

Congratulations, your enrolment into the Certificate I in Maritime Operations (General Purpose Hand Near Coastal) via Newcastle Campus is now finalised.

A confirmation of enrolment has been attached for your records.


I'll just drive home for the weekends kids activities. Maybe drive a bus. I'm only driving bus now on weekends anyway so that's super. (C'est super.) Acting class on Thursday night is optional, can just switch it to Saturday two weeks.
