THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERSHARK in 1905


I bring forth parables.  This is inspired by the song "New Horizons." The greatest thing we need  is love.  

EPISODE 4

Over the 150some years that SUPERSHARK lived there were times of much joy and sadness. 

He had great memories especially of loving the beautiful, smart Blue Whale.  Blue Whale & Supershark were tough warriors who fought valiantly to eat away from the terrible Great Pacific Garbage Patch between Hawaii and California. He remembered they zoomed through the passage between Antarctica and the southernmost tip of Chile.  They zoomed back to consume plastics in that part of the Pacific Ocean.  They grew older and weaker from the plastics. They learned the following:  

IN 2050, the oceans will have too much plastic.  Mass production of food is sometimes poisoned from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which allows fish-eating plastics that the poor consumed.   The poor, the working class eat of the plastics which threatens planet EARTH.  As the world turned, more of these sad people eat that fish and food.  They ate mass-produced food low on vitamins, great with fat and sodium.   As the poor in Alabama, and Mississippi eat mass-produced food; they have less insurance than others.  Many die before the age of 75.  Worse still, the poor throughout the Earth eat increasingly more of this food; they are fat and have reactionary minds!!!!!!!!!!!  

In the US, the agents of greed/avarice  produce bad food for poor people.  The people of the South have worse medical bills going unpaid than the people of the North.  For example, Kentucky used Obamacare, but the next governor greatly limited this insurance. More are insured in the North than the South.  

Back to the Parable

There were ecological warriors that had the superpower of drinking oil and keeping the Atlantic O.= clean. When they bore 4 calves north of Puerto Rico.  They had a golden time when their calves were born. The calves were named

President Jackschau who spiritually kept the oldest party in check (see later episodes in the coming weeks).  Through his mighty reading & vision powers from father and mother, he tried to kill the bad but was better at fostering the good. With so many fishmammals, it was hard to know who were his friends. 

President Thorshau who mightily could detect good barges for krill from evil oil and coal barges.  Through his mighty powers of cognition, reading and vision powers from father and mother, his powers are seen in the present!

Madame President Superfortresschau could use the powers of reading, vision, quiet stealth to foster more and more wealth to feed the fishmammals prowling the oceans.  

Evil RusiaNazi who mother and father could not figure why he turned into a Sith-like figure.  He possessed the 3 terrible deadly sins:  ENVY, GREED & LUST  (this was inspired from StarWars series; although parents have much influence, it is up to the next generation to succeed!) The 4th child was kidnapped and was raised in Texas by parents who were oil barons.

BLUE WHALE & SUPERSHARK grieved for their evil son.  With their mighty superpowers, they could swim with superspeed through oceans.  Their superpowers allowed them to evade the evil spawn of the 4th child born LATER.  

Sometimes, they could escape to the Mediterranean Sea and grieve where they went wrong.  The 4th evil child could never enter the Strait of Gibraltar. They were chagrined at where they went wrong as the 4th child spread crazykrill to his odious offspring.  They died and went to heaven decades into the 21st Century. 

Before they died, they experienced THE GREAT FLASHBACK 

In 1905, after a terrible divorce off the coast of Greenland, they met in the beautiful spawning place.  The divorce occurred from Winds of Changing Time and eating good and bad krill.  They had been gouged by ships that killed whales & sharks; however, they became too smart and swift to avoid those evil ships. 

On that special morning in 1905, in their special sanctuary, tired and hurt, they suddenly sparked and made love with each other.  After their fortnight of work, they mated.  It felt like the old times of the 1890s.  They produced much love.  Out of love came the other great type of krill, smartkrill.  They remembered their divorce but they would always remember love.  Bluewhale said, "I left you, because I didn't want to hate you." 

Supershark in depression replied, "I should've done better. We just lost our way from the sins of RAGE and PRIDE."  After they mated, BlueWhale said, "you don't smell so good."  

"But look at what we see in 1906 after mating.  We have given forth to the 7 Seas the helpful, healing  food Smartkrill."  For 5 very good years, they were together with their 3 children.  

In later years, they swam deep in the Atlantic Ocean where Blue Whale mated with SmartChicago. Supershark mated off the coast of Cuba to the loving AngelofBroadview. 

But were the krill good or bad? The evil 4th son bred offsprings of COALSHARKS, SLAVERY STINGRAYS & MASS MURDER MACHINEGUN BULLET OCTOPI.  

Evil RusiaNazi represents evil relatives that we may not even know about who spread Greed and LUST. It's about Prince Andrew of UK.  He has screwed like a mink; he's caught in scandal and lawsuits. King Charles III has driven him out of power. Sadly, he's about my age.

THOSE WORDS!


 

The observation you made during a pleasant conversation was harsh, jarring, and just plain wrong.  Why would such a nice woman say something so nasty? Past words of kindness sit oddly by the disappointing, cruel story. I know how to relate to your pleasant conversational ways, but what the hell am I supposed to do with the latter??

You're so kind to me; I can tell you want the relationship to go deeper.  Yet, you have no idea how your crazy, racist viewpoint repels me.  Your remarks are like grease smudged across your face!

What am I supposed to think?
What am I supposed to do?

What I Really LOVE in a Woman

 When you think about what you would like in a woman, you can think about their sexiness

how tall they, or what color their hair should be.
There's absolutely no trait, no characteristic that is so wonderful, makes her a dream and a "forever woman" than this: 

                        a woman who loves you back and let's you know it!!





God bless all woman who really show that trait!
God bless you for keeping me calm when I was sad. 
Bless you for saying I shouldn't be so depressed.  
Thank you for telling me to keep going.  That I was fine! 
Bless your beautiful soul,  I will never forget you!

BEHOLD THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW of 2023!


I left Wisconsin, in the awesome year 1989.,..  
You remember that year, right?  Well, you should if you're older than 37.  Even if you were younger than 37, you read about it in the history books!  ...............

....June 4, 1989  POLAND  The nation votes in favor of Solidarity with a new president that isn't a communist!  Communism in Europe comes undone like a spool of old movie film rolling around the floor!! 
(Not quite in history book)  August, 1989 I get hired at the Chicago Archdiocese of Chicago as a 5th grade teacher. 
later in August, 1989   The Late, Great, Frank Kaul  my honorable BFF, moves me into 1140 N. LaSalle St.
I love Chicago and damn those who don't! JMO
One thing this 26-year-old SELF noticed right away was that Illinois drivers were "considerably better!!!"  
Better than those slow drivers I had to deal with in LaCrosse as I zoomed in my tardy-driving, sorry-ass first car (82 Dodge Aries)  to my job at the  biggest LaCrosse grocery store  (at the time or still is??)  of them all, QUILLINS. 
As an old man with a driver data recorder in my car, courtesy of ALLSTATE, my views of LaCrosse drivers have changed.  

more Hx of a substantial nature   
October, 1989  The Cubs win their division and go to the playoffs (only to meet the Atlanta Braves).  

November 9, 1989   The Berlin Wall FALLS!                 even better than the Cubs making the playoffs in the perspective of ALL. 

So, people across the nation of ours, no, wait a minute, around the world know about the annual Chicago Auto Show.  This amazing event is held at the McCormack Place.  

What was the first thing to greet me at this august, spacious, just-right location for the Chicago Auto Show........................a nice fountain. 



The first thing I did was realize a dream I had for over 2 decades-drive a battery-powered car. I've wanted to own one for well over a decade, but it's fiscally irresponsible. 
  Still, I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem of global warming. It grieves the person, grieves the soul that there's still those who don't believe in global warming.  I HATE the idea that old rich men from Texas and other parts of the globe want to drive, AND GET RICHER from  the internal combustion AD INFINITUM! 
I'm proud to stand foursquare with Nancy Pelosi on the idea that it's wrong for people to hate people!!


Driving the cars, the electric vehicles was anticlimactic.  I can't even tell you what kind of car I drove or the color of the vehicle. Must be sensory overload!;
In the past, present and, hopefully, the future, I deeply love the idea of reducing petroleum of its current exalted pedestal.  
I love the idea of reducing rich, old, avaricious MEN in TEXAS who profited off this planet by mining petroleum; 
I love the idea of knocking them off their pedestal. Sophomoric ideas, much?  
Yeah, I do.  I can't get to work without petroleum. I can't go to my hometown of Ithaca without petroleum. We couldn't have gone to the CHICAGO AUTO SHOW without petroleum.  If I wanted to date (hypothetically), I couldn't without petroleum. 
Yet, the idea of helping save this planet and my tiny corner of the Earth is NOT sophomoric and is sincere love, if not concerted. 

 I got 2 tickets from my awesome friends, Casey & Lisa Hyland.  With the exception of 2 people, they have done more to help me grieve, and recover more from the loss of my dear Girlfriend of 12 years and friend of 32 years.  


The pictures below indicate that it was a helluva show! One I would love to go next year! 








So, that inclined path was actually driven by a JEEP, 
and it hurt my neck and back. I liked the pain, but love my 2 friends far more! 

End Part: 
I will state to you honestly and unequivocally that this "End Part"   MUST give credit to the Late, hedonistic, tragic figure of Hunter S. Thompson from his book, Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1, THE GREAT SHARK HUNT, from the article "The Temptations of Jean-Claude Killy." Published by Warner Books, 1979
IF I KNEW THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW WAS GREAT, I SHOULD HAVE GONE SOONER! 
I read about the great Jean Claude-Killy (born in occupied France in 1943), the winner of gold medals in the winter Olympics of 1968.  He was the object of a Sunday sports show on CBS (yes, I even remember the theme music) skiing back in the early 70s The Killy Challenge.    Yes, as a little boy, I watched him...
He was best highlighted by Hunter S. Thompson who wrote of O.J. SIMPSON (yes, that fuckin' OJ Simpson!!) and Killy going to the Chicago Auto Show.  I even read Gonzo Papers, Vol. a little less than 20 years after it was published.  
He talked about how hard and diligent Mr. Killy worked at discussing a great car at the Chicago Auto Show.  Most masterfully, HST contrasted that with the effortless, glib promotion of cars by Mr. Simpson.  

THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW WAS GREAT WHEN HUNTER S. THOMPSON wrote about it, just as it is august, amazing, yet not exhilarating in 2023. 



HUNTER S. THOMPSON, Father of Gonzo Journalism
Yet it is a journalistic form taken to sinful lengths before, during & after his death in 2005.

OH, NO!!! A Scratch

 Loved that Super Bowl.  I loved it  Good storyline, better game. 


You know what made it better?  I was with people I loved 

Bri, her boyfriend, his lovely mother and family were hosting it.  Maribeth, Bob & TED were all there!

Honorable mention goes to Andy.  He fought the good fight working at Marshalls, as he kept his wolves from the door. 

3 dogs all pit bulls really wanted to give me a welcome.  One of the dogs, Tiny, I love.  Ace has come to know me.  Then there's Red.  Ace jumped up and his nails got to my ribs.  I grunted, then that dog or Vehement RED scratched my arm right here.....upper half:.....damnit 



So, now my 2nd source of income is totally stopped for another week!  It's already been one week and now it might, if and only if SUPER LUCKY, will I be able to earn $$$$ on Thursday, February 23. 
If I work at a hospital for my primary income, then what is my second income. 
I give plasma.  I wrote about this all in an older blog about a decade ago. So, dear Reader, if you want to know more about it, then either ask or I'll tell you where it is.  
To give plasma, I have to be in very good health.  Don't have to be in great health or even excellent health. You don't have to have big, athletic veins popping out.  So,, what is very good health. 

Here is the criteria: 

1./  Well hydrated with a good hematocrit score. 
2. Not have male gay sex for 6 months.(no, it's not discrimination!!!)
3. Decent blood pressure

4. Not too much weight gain or loss
5.  Not being on too many prescription drugs.  If you have acne and take accutane, FORGET IT.!!
If you take Avodart, because you want to keep your lovely hair in your old age, FORGET IT!!!

6. and don't you DARE HAVE BLEMISHES ON YOUR ARM AT ALL!!!!!!
Not even on the secondary right arm you like to use to donate the second time that same week.

You give plasma as a new donor and you can make around $800.  Old reliables,  like me,  who have gone to the same plasma center for 7 years, get over $400 if they weigh over 135 lbs. Needless, to say I weigh almost 100% OVER that amount. 

The perks, my Platinum MasterCard still in the New file folder.  The platinum rewards of $10 extra ever couple months. Yes, it's reliable money..............UNTIL IT ISN'T! 

Would I go to my daughter's boyfriend's family hosting the Super Bowl, Feb 12?

HELL YEAH!!!

know what is objective, DON'T mislead

 




Roy Rogers most famous quote was said in the early 30s, "I never met a man I didn't like." That wasn't his exact quote.  

There's another even better saying of his.  He was referring to Herbert Hoover, the 31st president.  This quote was cited by a presidential candidate. It's vital! In general, people aren't well enough researched in the vital issues of today.    Here's the Roy Rogers quote, cited in 1984, 

It’s not what he doesn’t know that bothers me, it’s what he knows for sure that just ain’t so!

There's too many people who say, "my mind is made up. Don't confuse me with the facts!"
