And now we see if he can pull it off. If he does, everything changes.

"...Zohran Mamdani speaks after winning the NYC Mayoral Race: “We have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many & answers only to the few.”..."

A monkey has to be true to his school. That's the bottom line. I'm glad I grew up before the internet. I did poorly in school. I barely made it out of high school and in college I was either on the Dean's list or on academic probation. I don't even remember being in school except that I hated all of it. But I don't know. We were just outside more. I remember being outside when I was young...all the time, even in the snow at night. A phone was like a toaster - a kitchen appliance we used once a day - not the central feature of our being. I played baseball and rode my bike, went down to the lake every day, winter or summer. Played hockey on the ice when it froze. When I was a teenager I had a shitty car that I painted red with spray cans. We weren't influenced by media to a large because it was not pervasive. There was rock and roll, that was the dark menace leading youth down the road to perdition I suppose but that was mostly just bad haircuts and shitty clothes, nothing too antisocial. We weren't influenced by religion either. We were Catholic. The Church was just like school or another mandatory childhood institution that was conformed to but not believed in. When I got older I could see were all technically criminals but in more of a victimless, polite fashion that was integrated into ordinary business and routine. I got arrested all the time but never really got in trouble. I'll say that Ive had an easy life and that any bit of hardship or suffering I ever did was brought on 100% by myself and never near what I deserved considering that my whole scheme of living has been to put in just enough effort to pay the bills so I could do what really interests me - like screwing around with the dogs and cats and growing plants in the basement.

We used to have a ball outside, even if the weather sucked. For the past 40+ years it is like pulling teeth to drag people outside of a building.

That whole life down there is about cheating and I had to go. being with those Italians over the summer reminded me of the East Side and it put me in a bad mood. That's weird. Someone mentioned that to me a couple years ago. I was taking gigs down there when I was doing tile and an electrician buddy of mine noticed that every time I was working down there I was a miserable prick. I don't go down there anymore and there's nothing left anyhow. I'm the only one still alive. The wages of sin are death. Underneath a million miles of bullshit, we're pure. I want to be that monkey. That is so far beyond money or religion. Religion is cataracts. Nothing matters except that a monkey is true to his school.

I don't read anymore. It's hard now. I can't concentrate on anything for very long and the whole thing with wearing glasses now is a pain in the ass. But fck am i glad I spent the first maybe 25 years of my life reading constantly. That was a feature of not having internet that is so valuable that anyone that came up subsequently could not possibly even understand. We are so more well read than younger people it's astronomical...geometric. I read everything. I read science books, classic novels, religious books... I had a set of World Book Encyclopedias with JFK as the sitting president that was in a rental I lived in. That was like the precursor to Google.

When I was a kid, having a bicycle was like having a jet. Now, I noticed they removed all of the monkey bars and swings, baseball diamonds, shit like that. I suppose because there's too many pussy kids with parents that are pussy lawyers or something. That shit was dangerous as fck but it taught us situational awareness. Seesaws...swings...big concrete sewer pipes for some reason.

I think I smoked weed in elementary school. I think I was in 6th grade and we were drinking too. I think about that now and it's nuts. Smoking cigarettes. All that was normal. I couldn't imagine them not having smoking in bars or restaurants but here we are and it's hard to imagine that ever was allowed. That place I had was like a gas chamber. I had some giant "smoke eater" up by the ceiling but that thing didn't do shit. Sounded like a bug zapper too. Everything in that place must have tasted like smoke.

Imagine how clean and sparsely populated the planet was back then. The water was clear and the sky must have been spectacular. they drank out of rivers. They didn't have the distractions of information technology we had so they must have been much more observant and attentive to their immediate surroundings. Psychologically, spiritually they had to be superior to us; it would be impossible for them not to be because we are so far removed from our natural state and our tabula rasa humanity is buried under so many layer of distraction delusion and self deception that we couldn't possibly compare with them. It would be nice to have their insight and understanding but that shipped sailed long ago.

Fish and other animals like bears and moose and elk and deer crap in rivers. That might be why those guys aren't around today...

"...All Republicans Defeated as Democrats Sweep Three Key States, Including Supreme Court and Attorney General Races Ahead of Midterms..."

Plus prop 50 in CA seems to have been a blue wave landslide.

Now we all know why democrats closed the government. They took the food off people’s table to win vites. Democrats are evil.

Dems have legitimate points. Obscured at times by stupidity like transgender rights. And their incessant virtue signaling.

Both our political systems are too complicated. They served a purpose in the past but an overhaul is needed. It will not happen in our lifetimes.

I can’t remember that actors’ name but he was highly underrated. Funny as Hell.

. Sorry got that loop thing happening. Also I remember watching an episode of the show with the multiple people from previous episodes and this group thought they were real smart setting up camp on a riverbank. They were somewhere in Africa. Production had to step back when wildlife officers showed up and told them to move. The river was full of crocodiles that had a history of killing humans. It was the best episode.

Dems/ Liberals. Whatever they are called are tools of the globalist scum. They have no points but destruction of the West. They are as legit as a 3 dollar bill.
