internets gift wishes

have you ever made a "HOLiday gifts list" using the internets? SOmething about this whole process seems a bit unsavory to me. People want to get you stuff so you try to give them some help and maybe even a hyperlink to something but I don't know I just struggle with that.....

In other news I've heard rumors about so-called moral aquarium and might want to see some of that here....................... kojak

The strength of masking tape

I have been involved in a major arts and crafts kind of project in the past couple weeks and I have formed some opinions about TAPE. Sticky tape that is. First of all packing tape is pretty much crap. It should just be used for packing, but then it becomes to hard to pull off, but in any other situation it just falls off after a week. Then we have our GORILLA black tape, kind of a beefed up DUCK tape. and it works good but not so hot when you are trying to tape to COLD STEEL or COLD GLASS and there is moisture around. In fact NO TApe will stick to this, its like trying to stick something that is not sticky, the tape just peels right off, its like mo slippery than teflon. So I busted out what I thought would be the mother of ALL TAPES GAFFERS or filmaking lighters tape and its sick cloth strenght I thoguoht would surmount the situation and yet NO, it did not. just fell off the wall. Wack.

Anyway the one tape that has left me with a positive feeling is MAsking tape, I like the matte surface, the natural smell, the fact that yes it sticks and holds the sstick right well when dealing with fabric and paper and maybe evensome other stuff, andyeah its not the STRONGEST but it does not have pretentions and it does its job.. even better than you thought it might,

no this whole post will not be en espanol. We would not want to confuse the readership. There are 2 interrelated topics of conversation: the golden age of blogs and also printers love them or leave them.

on the golden age of blogs, this has to do with comments . Does it resemble a conversation or a shouting match? The only way to avoid the latter is to not get too "muy popular" so that people want to shout you down. Luckily we keep it real chill here at RSBf and no one tries to act all cool and get attention in the comments section.

re: printers I;m generally opposed to setting one up at home except now I have no workplace to print so I gave it a shot. I thought hey this could be real cool to print stuff and move seamlessly between virtual and bricks n mortar realms but the only problem is I think the ink is BAD EG INVISIBLE INK

Shout out to MCMC

nerds .......I've been reminded in the past few weeks about some of the qualities of nerds for example I happened upon a

Creative Reenactment type battle on a university lawn which was like a stars wars kid (tm) type duel amongst nerds, now I'm not saying that was cool;

But on the "cool" I have to give a shout out to a statistics expert who CLAIMS THE RAPPER ALIAS "MCMC" which I had to look up online because I couldn't find my class notes.

"Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods (which include random walk Monte Carlo methods), are a class of algorithms for sampling from probability distributions based on constructing a Markov chain that has the desired distribution as its equilibrium distribution. The state of the chain after a large number of steps is then used as a sample from the desired distribution. The quality of the sample improves as a function of the number of steps"

So I guess MCMC could bust out all those skills kinda like a certain MC formerly known as "ALLAH MATHEMATICS" if you know what I'm sayin (kojak)

life question

What percent of people practice "Indoor Voices" in today's society?

• does it vary from place to place?
• what will it be like in the future?

Best way to stir

here is a hint for all you out there. When you stir (milk into coffee) this is what i do. Stir two rotations one way, then you switch it up! and stir the other way. that really mixes it up.

Gam bling

So. I learned how to play poker recently and it was fun, waht was partially fun is that there was a a dealer and her name was holly and she had "ATTITUDE " like insulting, for example it was like she worked at ED debevics. and i didn't realy make $ in fact I lost money. But only about HAlf of my money in the end=30bx. and I learned how to play, a little bit. But not that well.This game is really about betting.. you see, and i don't do that that much,but I think people who like monopoly might be into it. I had my PO PO PO Poker face on though i tell you: no emotions. This happened in Atlantic City, or baby vegas. It is amazing how much $$$$$ gets spent mad quick • I saw a guy who Prob lost 500 bux in 60 seconds trying to play 110 dollars craps by himself. ouch dude

Love

Can I just tell you something? I love RSBfart more than Fbook

listened to some rap music

I was listening to some of the "urban" music known as hip hop and was reminded of good times when I was younger and was a "straight up listener" of this type of thing . BY straight up I mean hearing a good "Disc Jockey" not like buying CD's at walmart* or watching MTV cribs. Theres a new DJ on our radio here who fits the bill...kind of like a touch down in chi-town but on a local level. It was a good feeling and a positive vibe for sunday night and I will just leave it on that note...kojak

THE COLD

It is starting to get cold? Can you beleive it. I wanted it to be hot hot hot. the hot weather never bothers me. Its great. I like it steamy steamy and SUPER HOT TEMP. thats what I love! Give me 105 everyday. But Yuck this cold stufff? NO SIREEE BOB. Not for me> I need it hot, and I don't want to wear those fall fashions. Heck no. I fact... uh I forgot what I was talking about. Oh yeah well I like it to be coool one day but then lets get back to this hot stuff. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING. Can we not slow down the clock a little bit. Would that be ok. Great. Thanks. PS CAN YOU TELL ANY IRONY in what I am saying. Or not? That is the in the teenage Spirit. Irony and non irony have MEldedD???????$*&$*$ roccy

Toast, ruined

I was making toast. I have to put my toaster in my room cuz it has a short short cord. and I can't put it in the kitchen becuase it might fall in teh sink and ELECTROCUTE. So there i was making tost in my room, soon to put cream cheese on it. But then a dance number started. and it got rowdy with dancing. SUDDENLY a Plant GOT KNCOKCED. woops and a LEAF flew into the air. HIG H HIGH into the air. The leaf fell down down down and landed IN the toaster. In fact it lodged into the side, somehow behind the electric things that heat up. The chances of this happening are .. lets just say INFINITY to one. One chance in a million. It was the chance of a lifetime and my Leaf got singed and Tost basically ruined with burned leaf flavor

traded computer for walkman(TM)

How many computers does that average households have ?? = many because people never get rid of them even though its obvious they will not be used.


In an effort to be unlike other people I decided to get rid of my old laptop - I have a lot of fond memories of it but sometimes you just have to CUT THE STRINGS clean break like...not wanting to bother with selling crap on the internet that doesn't work very well (that is a highly lamentable industry of our time) I took it to a drop off where they "E-CYCLE" computers like what almost happend to JOhnny5 in the movie. It turned out to be more emotional than expected just like in the movie.

part 2: i wanted to get a walkman to listen to this tape that teaches espanol . it just so happens that ECYCLE is at goodwill industries so I went in and found a sweet old true WALKMAN (no knock off) and even some batteries to test it with . How ironic I though to trade a semi modern latop for a walkman! Well heres the real irony when I got the walkman home after a longish bike ride it made the awful high pitched sound when I tried to use it. Pasha the cat was frighted bad by it thats how bad it is!! And I bet some goodwill employee snatched the laptop and is trying to hack into it to steal me identity which was presisely what I wanted to avoid (KOJAK)

plaguiraism

someone said the cure for writers block is to borrow extensively from others. Here is something a high school acquaintance posted on a social networking site:
"

A teenage boy just told me he was gonna whoop my ass! Then he attempted to before he was stopped! I just gotta laugh at it. No further comments. LmAo

Hi quality Conversation in Mailbox office

This is where it all comes together people. and I just love my Post Office in fact I think other people love it too. Just got to love that post office. Do you Know What I Mean.

gloves and shorts

since rocky had a more consequential post today about life in the BIG BAD CITY allow me to provide the MINUTIA ....I soaked my work gloves in woollite - they get really stinky when the weather is warm. So that 's something I'm really looking forward to 2moorrow (canadian transliteration).....nice clean gloves that don't stink. Ironically today I was wearing a very preppy style with some light colored shorts and a navy polo. Not intentional but something that just randomly formed as I was getting dressed. That really has nothing to do with stinky work gloves but that is the contradictions of my life in the present (KOJAK)

Train Dude

7 Today I got a strange vibe from a guy in the subway. This guy had his backpack sitting on the seat and the train was totally crowded. I stepped in next to him and he looked at me like WHAT. Basically he was very ready to say "Do you have a problem with my bag taking up a seat?" So this guy ( he is standing) and his bag is sitting. and I am standing next to him is simply daring me to look at him funny with this train insanely crowded. But I am pretty zen cuz I am happy to just be on this air conditioned train. So I use my skilss of diffusion like looking the other way and not making eye contact, and I just don't care man.

ANYWAY we get out of the train at UNION SQ and (togehter) and the rush of people going up a tiny stair way and we are still nearby and start going up the stairs and He just STOPS and lets me go first NOT in a nice way but like. "Oh you want to step in front of me, you think your better" He give me a FEIRCE LOOK again, and I just deflect by pretending to look the other way( this was ninja, I know i am not descriving my d=ninja ways good but it was...) Beleive me now you think I am exaggerating and making things up about this guy trying to get me. But Here is teh end of the story. A few moments later I hear shouting and YELLING and I look back and here is the BRISTLY FELLOW in a headlock and another short muscular dude had him in this headlock and was YELLLING RELAX RELX RELAX RELAX, while my bristly friend struggle like a weenie. This goes to show you I PIKKED UP ON the vibes and this fool wanted to fight. He was lookin for a fight and unforch he piccked the wrong dude to mess with cuz this little dude leveraged his a**

a treatise on nature

I'm happy to report that I have accomplished a goal I've been working on for a while. Well I don;t quite like the word ""accomplish"" and """goal"""because I believe it is an ongoing project. The basic premise is to go from city to nature without a car. Rocky touched on this with the hal project not too long ago. If nature can walk in to the city uninvited then why not vice versa?

Well this specific thing was camping with bike. Cermak and I got geared up with Northwest® type gear like nice bikes paniers (peas and cheese) and the tent and some good food. We rode the bus to near the end of the line utlilizing the bike racks but having to unload the gear. Then geared up and rode to the ferry - cruised over to the I-land for a nice ride onto the campsite. The campfire was the bomb luckily there was wood at the state park for sale cuz we couldn't have loaded that on the bike rack. Attractions included an ancient cedar and a beach . Fauna included a very loud OWL in the middle of the night and BANDITOS (what I like to call small critters who scurry around a campsite eating your breadcrumbs)

Day Two: A dream

I dreamed that the end of the world was happening. I think it involved a flood and or fire and upheaval of governments. But the idea was that we were, this time, truly f*¶•ed. I was with a small group of people a cross section of humanity and my woman-friend with me. And it was like the movie where a certain group of people has got stuck in an elevator, some people have some ideas ad others have others. We were trying to figure out what to do, where to go to be safe from the unstoppable danger everywhere. I blurted out that maybe we should go to the Natural History museum and I became giddy with that idea,like how COOL WOULD THAT BE? ] in the dream no one took me seriously, but................

now in retrospect I thihnk that it would be cool, for example, as an idea for a movie that a group of people is locked in the Natural history meusum which pressupooses to tell the entire history of the earth+ universe (there is a planetarium too) and that some how the museum did become hermetically sealed and perhaps they were able to extract seeds from some old indian "corn Maize" diorama and plant it in the sunny area after ripping up the floor to expose soil. They would be living in a kind of outdated history of earth, but then making it into the only current history of the earth (as everyone else.. I guess had died unfortunately) and maybe then there would develop different tribes for different wings of teh museum. Holy SH(t this is actuall another one of those ideas that is SO GOOD I am not sure I should publish it., but I will because I feel taht with this audience of RSBFFART the idea for film is safe and may even be nourished.
Yours Truful, Rocky
