you have to ask yourself, why are we killing people who only sympathize with the perpetrators of 9/11

pardon the dove parade but, i'm guessing mccain's not going to get this one but still. this nation's role in the world, bla bla bla.  band of outlaws, the obama(care) 5, who needs an editor? outlaw yoga.  sympathy for obscure terrorists.  like jagger but different.  righteous tree of treason i suppose doesn't need water or something or another.  i love waking up in the morning and wondering who i killed last nite you know as a country. 
we kill those in al-quada or what not because "never again" bla bla "fight em there not here" on and on and treason is you know unacceptable.  death to you and/or your country/religion/lifestyle bla bla bal. you may be wondering by now what's popular in k-pop.  i found myself wondering if Maryland is a state just now but still. 
two kill those riding in the car with soon to be or up and coming terrorists is the easy enough place to say enough with the drone strikes. the terrorists may ask though what's the point if the lighting's not right and thus depend on their assistant(s) to wage war 2.0 or whatever you'd call it in your caucus. 

blowing up the twin towers was  you know not legal according to the same law book or what not that declares  the drone program illegal, parts of more than likely at least anyway, the grey locations.

hiring phil jackson

It would seem that the knicks or the sonics would be the team. the knicks would need the gm to make a successful trade of Carmelo and Amare and then maybe the knicks could win the I cry lottery for kyrie irving next offseason. if the bucks moved to seattle it would probably be the coolest head coach job other than coach of LeBron plus Jackson lives in the NW.

I think I would miss on signing J. Noah. is derrick rose available to trade for?

what is the interior dept?

the extremes is a good band name.

curry v Durant, vs Lawson vs harden vs ginobli vs igudola




clearly kevin is the big star but ginobli's won more. it seems like a toss up between Durant and curry as to who is the best.

conferences

driving past the b. stone areana in nashville through the tourny traffic the lights went off:

1:) vandy and ky should play in the acc or whatever conference duke/n.c. is in. nashville tourism would be even stronger when it was it's turn to host what would be likley the best in the nation college b-ball conference tournment. 

2:) the sec should have 8 or 10 teams and the b-ball con. tourn would be over at least a few days before selection sunday.  florida and ark. would be the only good bask. team but lsu would be a coaches hot seat till somebody figured it out.  but it would be the football and florida, georgia, ala., lsu would play each other 90 something percent of the years. so then tn makes 6, then south car. and one mississippi team.  though maybe it's missouri instead with it's less absurd than tx south easterness and on and on but really if you the sec picks one school from miss. that gets to play g.g. football you know it will prop it up most likely. 7 con. games and a title game for kicks plus the playoff system. lots of cash lots of almost dvr quality sport broadcasts less goofy "the good folks of ky don't need to suffer through another double of miss st v.s. bad vandy tourny games just to watch an a nowheresville missouri team maybe turn in an uninspired performance against their team in the first of however many (too many) days of the conference tournament. even if they don't get to party in s0-called cashville

cinema school: breaking bad

you see it's important to be able to feel the nauce in the "creative decisions" in every movie or show or at least some of them.

Again, with Grammar

to my dogs with wagging tales...i can see this either being the last post on this blog and/or the last one untill i copy edit the nearly 50 posts. music is weird....the music i'm listening to, not so much.  ...the succulent debate topic, other than how to reinvent the wheel, is was last season of treme better than the first season of homeland...it's early for year end lists but it seems like a down year for m.s. movies. argo and take this waltz and southern beasts and clint eastwood, the actor.  music - i guess it's grimes but in many ways it's just going gaga over the predictable....the deal with politics - (but first, "then again" it's like when a director tells an actor to do a scene again but starting from a mid point (it's the title of diane keaton's book)) i had an idea for a new type of cable news show and possibly so new that it would need to new cable news network. iowa 2015 seems like the place to be. i think ashley judd should run for gov. of ky. i guess i still would go for lawerence summers for next pres but probably only if the economy was still down. in a similar sense, colin powell would do well if the war on terror is still going strong at that point. otherwise it's gotta be rachel maddow.

I change the world (possibly) four the better

all adverbs should be in parentheticals. god nose i've underachieved.  i put traveling soldier by the d. chicks on a new playlist and that's what's playing.  in a little over a year I managed to complete all 10 levels of verbal advantage. i passed the level 10 test this morning. now I'll know a pettifogger when i see won.  next up is the chicago style manual. there will be semi-colons used properly.  it was a nice morning, as i also put another check in the bank so i made it over the 15k mark.   oh yes, my 10 year college reunion is next weekend.  then the following wed. grimes plays in town and the debate of pres. candidates happens.  i have tickets and i plan on buying a t-shirt and then maybe wearing it to grimey's record store. i'll take you to go see usher. i don't know girl talk. i forget why but it dawned on me that i will like the new terrance malik film more than the last one and thus be flipped from the critical consensus.  the figurative senses of zipper. by the way, I'm totally sober as yu-sh (usual) . lace up my boots. stock all in(another poker face=stop calling) ( hello! pay phones) yes this is _. or is ti? i really want to get better at anagrams. english anagrams at least. right! you wouldn't want to have kids if you got aids, like the movie. on facebook i do include a link to this blog.  i was on my way. to tell you it's no good. chasing my damage. interpol=the new the kings of leon.

on so-called great movies

ghost world- the character of reniasance punk takes the imaginary bus leaving the real world to scarJo's young woman
bullet - car chases, fashion, responsibilty in 1960's san fran, no special effects, something like instant replay in the car chase scenes
wait are there more great movies?
the aviator
rushmore
bullets over broadway/midnight in paris - the deep sea smack down by w. allen of cameron crowe and wes anderson
the piano teacher
melancholia - if only bjork sang
cremaster- ditto
taken - it's the new die hard
die hard - yippie
aeon flux - for realz
the matrix- for the 99 percent
being j.m - for the non-literal people
slumdog
hoop dreams
game change
mulhulland drive
on the road - acceptably fungible for the motorcycle diaries i hope in that less communism same drama way.

techniques for the flying author

techniques for non-literal meanings of ordered content:

very short, short, medium, long, very long.  backwards, intermittent, antonyms, purposeful misuse and combos of it all; structure; begin and end. and more.

This doesn't include (other?) proper literary techinuques such as allusions, metaphors, references, spoonerisms etc. (I still haven't read the book, oxford conise dictionary of literary terms soon though, trust your humble narrator)

so for example, the first line of moby dick, "Call me Ishamel." could be seen in a manifold of non literal ways.

I find it easiest to start with assuming that one of the author's conciets is that we will look at the prose as if it's poetry so there should be line breaks.  In this instance the first line break could come after "call" which if taken in context of when the book was written could be seen as anticipating the future of communication being centered around the calling people on the telephone so then the 2nd line would the caveman or tarzan line, "me ishamel" which then combined with the 1st line has a dynamic of describing the author's present in terms that readers in the future will find insightful.  you can jump ahead then and look at chapters in relation to each other in a similiar way as the parsing of the 3 words in the first sentence. 

my surmation is that people are more familiar with looking at things backwards for esoteric meanings.  the classic album call the doctor is fun to look at.  c.t.d is the abbrevation which if reveresed is d.t.c. the T of course looks similiar to the cross that nearly everybody in this country knows is where jesus of nazara died. so then you'd have d.c., possibly as in washington d.c. with the cross in the middle and since the album was part of what i remember being refered to as queer punk it seems there might be quite the spiked punch when one gets their stephoscope out.

just because

I should point out that I'm not listening to Gaga at the moment but I was when I figured I should write about the thoughts in my head tonight about at least politics and some films. 
The modus operandi thus being stated almost equivocally you'll pardon the digressions if they flourish.

knowing only where I wish to end, having obama as pres well instead of hilary, it could be said that we end up in a rut better expressed in almost no better way than with The Help having the outstanding success in the awards season of course then a reminder that it is the awards season before the reelection. 
what do i mean is a wonderful question. its very sad to consider perhaps just how bad it is.  movies or politics?  or digressions? of course i intend to eschew the jump off a bridge type advice but what i might think of as a clever idiom might be actually you know bad. the politics of the oscars is a nice place to start you have thought already.  maybe.  your humble narrator has possibly skimmed some books to a terrible fault.  exactly. right its another edition of enemies of the truth.  oddly enough my brain has the starring role. we'll be here in this rut for another 7 years sounded like a reasonable posit. the obama aide in my head just retorted yes at worst but the only boom and bust cycle from 7 years of decent growth will be you know the career of mr. fincher. 
so maybe I"m anxious or obtuse or both and worse.
hilary hilary hilary. mrs. clinton even.  which of course was the reason she lost which brings up the crossover possible nonsense of the idea in the details of why savvy dems. picked o over hrc becuase you know even if they both ended with the same accomplishments it was best for the party to have those accomps be celebrated on tv by someone with a solid marrige or what have you.  refer to the pugnacious 2nd para you know graph for guidance as they might say.  i should be weary to not mistake any however slight or almost harmless so-called negative stereotypes of women I have be passed for universal mental problems of humans or just people like me in other numerous and varied ways.  also feels good to note just how long this has taken to write till this point almost an hour.
so things at the surface level rule the most powerful country in the world. almost everyone is angry at that. eschewing the retorts.
I've watched almost the whole episode of maddow sans the interview with that one guy whose a candiate.  i always like to look at least not bad. looking over this the word rut becomes the whole statement almost which is another fine word -almost.
contained depression is maybe a better phrase to use from npr so the google can sell 9 cents of ads from it.   
of course you can guess if you allowed yourself that i believe in reasonable deficiet spending when prudent and when isn't it?

Discreet Charms of the Anarchists

Peter Jackson's an anarachist right? Even with the commerical breaks, LOTR movies are very charming.
