TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

[Wat_Tyler]

Junior found a great formula/recipe for make 8 pounds of roast into medium rare Savory Goodness.


There is a plot among the displaced tenants to file suit against the owners/my company for loss of their stuff, pain and suff'rin', and probably for hurt feelings. I suspect that any attorney no matter how lame and from whatever free legal services agency will ask them, do you have renter's inshornce? They'll all say, no, and then s/he'll say, get the fuck outta my office.

Happy Thursday. I know, giving thanks. Funny thing is, with so fuckingdamned many people, they're only grateful if they got what they wanted. If they don't, they are total cunts. It began to dawn on Wat decades ago that when he has what he needs, that he really has what he wanted all along. Anything else is garnish.


It's great to have four days off all in a row. There's that rib roast which will hit the oven later. No invites for the day, but then Wat has been known to be quite content with doing nothing, and in doing it with no one in particular. The sun will be out later, so a trip around town on Morticia the HfD might be pleasant.


Everything is as it is. It has no name other than the name we give it. It is we who call it something; we give it a value. We say this thing is good or it's bad, but in itself, the thing is only as it is. It's not absolute; it's just as it is. People are just as they are.

By teaching our children to stay in line we create well-behaved followers. While this may make parenting a bit easier, it has enormous costs later in life. These same children grow up to be unhappy adults who desperately want to lead their own lives, yet lack the necessary skills to do so.

When I first moved to New York in 1990, I knew a total of five people. They all had lives of their own—I couldn’t just plop myself down and demand their attention—and so I signed up for a once a week class taught at the West Side YMCA, hoping I could make a friend or two there. “Writing Funny,” the course was called, and it was taught by a British woman named Freda Garmaise who was maybe in her mid-sixties at the time, and had published several books.

“What are the rules of comedy writing?” she asked at the start of our first session.

I put my hand up. “You should never make fun of anyone who has less power than you.”

Freda looked at me the way I deserved to be looked at, with a combination of disgust and pity. “Where on earth did you get that idea?” she asked.

I groped for an answer. “The Village Voice, maybe?”

“No, no, no,” she said. “The only rule of comedy anything is that you always should be as tasteless as possible.”



~ David Sedaris



Allah damn it, Wat may have just had his calling pointed out to him, because being completely tasteless is right on my front burner and at a rapid boil. How easy is this???

Damn fine roast!!!

Just popped in to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, I hope you all get to spend time with your loved ones and are wearing your fat pants

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Thank you very much for the kind wishes to your poor benighted neighbors to the south. Here we live in squalor and spend all our hard-earned money on guns-n-ammo so we can shoot one another to death and cause each other nothing but grief and suff'rin'. Our ethical challenges know no bounds. But hey, we're grateful as fuck for all of it. Thank you, Allah, for the chaos. It's what we wanted all along . . . .

Dozed off early, kinda like a nap. Awake like in caveman days in the middle of the night. Reading a bit and the like. More sleep later.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Black Friday!!! There may be one more BF deal out there calling Wat's name. Hey, if'n you can get a $900 item for $519, why not?


I see my way clear to rearrange a few things in here and to start demo'ing so I can install this new floor in here. It really will be a nice touch. I snagged enough flooring from the old job to redo the floors down here and upstairs too. It'll be nice to bid the old tired carpet adieu.


Damn fine coffee this morning.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see….

~ Thoreau



I am grateful for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving is perpetual.
It is surprising how contented
one can be with nothing definite -
only a sense of existence.

Well, anything for variety.

I am ready to try this for the next
ten thousand years, and exhaust it.
How sweet to think of!
my extremities well charred,
and my intellectual part too,
so that there is no danger
of worm or rot for a
long while.

My breath is sweet to me.
O how I laugh when I think
of my vague indefinite riches.

No run on my bank can drain it,
for my wealth is not possession
but enjoyment.

We live in a packaging culture that despises content.

Ain't that the truth??!?

Leftovers. Better than yesterday. Tasks underway.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Had some plans, kind-of plans. Recalculated. Fuck those plans. Watching a movie. There's birthday breakfast with the good little doctor tomorrow morning.

Plans can go by the wayside. Sometimes a bit of relaxation is mandatory.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Anyone can blather on about what they're going to do. Wat is inclined to listen to their feet much more than their mouths.


Happy Saturday. Day #3 all in a row of not getting up to go to work. There will be breakfast with Dr. Tyler this morning. And there will be a resumption of getting some shit done around here.


I have coffee and there is a very old cat watching me from over there . . . .


Hostile attitudes only serve to heat up the situation, whereas a true sense of respect gradually cools down what otherwise could become explosive. We must recognize the frequent contradictions between short-term benefit and long-term harm.

Brunch with Dr. Tyler was pleasant. She overslept, so it got a bit late for breakfast. Imagine that.

The blueberry pancakes have been made and devoured. The tree is up and all the boxes are put away. A letter of recommendation is next on the list.
