Reminiscences of an oldentry #14. posted on 12:45am Dec 19, 2012 - mood: happy....timer... There used to be people on here... people with whom we could share about sensitive topics without having our momma, poppa, sisters, brothers, or cousins, pastors, bosses, looking over our shoulder... yes, I am referring to the "facebook" phenomenon... back to having shallow conversations... true enough, much of the antics on (the old) bestandworst was a bunch of tomfoolery; but, I sensed a certain seriousness beneath the surface... people who wanted to articulate their truer feelings and thoughts, beliefs, etc. without the anxiety of retribution.... no comments. : add comment
blog entry [ballot:54426]entry #13. posted on 3:33pm Apr 25, 2012 - mood: amusedYou know what? With a hundred thousand + ballots, it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said; that's why sometimes I like to go back to a really old ballot, and add a comment or a choice before the ballot expires. I don't think I ever met that user (lizzi) even when I started back in that day.  54426 . Why don't BW users put their actual picture under their username? no comments. : add comment blog entry A response I gave of which I am most proudentry #12. posted on 9:46pm Apr 23, 2012 - mood: happyWay back in the day, when I had a different pseudonym than this, I gave a response to a joke ballot presented by um_yeah. Check the ballot out, it's one of my all time favorites, and I've been looking for it so I could list it as one of my favorites. This was my response: And then the Omnipotent spoke to the homo sapien Um__Yeah, and an utterance emanated from the firmament into the heavily foliaged area saying, "Oh, homo sapien, remember thou the hierarchy of things as thy creator hast established them. Remember, and forget thou not, that thou art homo sapien; whilst this poor, wretched beast is merely a canis familiaris. His is no match for thy unparalleled intellect among the living creatures of this terrestrial sphere that thou dost call home! For he has only slightly bruised thy gluteus maximus; and, thou mayest now invade his cranial cavity and capriciously copulate with his cerebrum, yea even as far as his cerebellum wilt I suffer this to come about, not unlike thou hast posted upon thy userpage." "LOOK! Even now thou standest at a crossroad in this heavily foliaged area betwixt it's 'best and worst' radiant organic oxygenating chlorophyll stacks. Why standest thou there having configured your organic news disseminator in such a manner as to further alienate the beast from thy presence? Evaluate post haste the course of action which thou shalt precipitously pursue. Verily thy choices are trifold, but two alone are compassionate and lifegiving, and alas, only one represents my perfect will. Choose now this day which course thou shalt take. Wilt thou capriciously copulate with the cerebrum and cerebellum of this canis familiaris; or, wouldest thou that a canis familiaris which has been traumatized by being brutally smitten with a properly configured organic news disseminator be released to prey upon other less perceptive homo sapiens in the heavily foliaged area; or, shalt thou choose the noblest and most selfless course, and befriend the beast? Answer me now, Um__Yeah, for I have endowed thee with eyes that can penetrate and perceive the deepest inward motivations of this mongrel. If thou befriendest him now, perchance he may surprise thee one early morn by ambulating through the heavily foliaged area and retrieving thy organic news disseminator whilst thou art still in thy domicile sleeping." Upon which the homo sapien Um__Yeah who had previously remained silent spoke and said, "If it is a decision that I must make...(????) tune in next time for the continuing saga of Um__Yeah and his ambulatory journey through the heavily foliaged area. 82778 . A large canis familiaris just bit me in the gluteus maximus while I was ambulating among a heavily foliaged area, what should I do? no comments. : add comment blog entry real names for the pseudonym examplesentry #11. posted on 3:41pm Apr 23, 2012 - mood: happyon the ballot referenced Lewis Carroll was among other things, an Anglican Priest. Real Name? Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Richard Bachman is Stephen King George Eliot was really Mary Ann Evans O.Henry was William Sydney Porter Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren were twins in real life: Landers = Esther Pauline Friedman Van Buren = Pauline Esther Friedman George Orwell = Eric Arthur Blair Dr. Seuss = Theodore Seuss Geisel Mark Twain = Samuel Langhorne Clemens Voltaire = Francois Marie Arouet and Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell were the Bronte sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, whose first pseudo names each started with the same letter as their real first name. If you didn't catch it in the Quiz_Engine answer, I have been known by 3 "pseudo-names" since I've been here. I started with contragrain which I took as a spin off of the Garth Brooks song Against the Grain. A year or so later I asked one of the higher ups on the site if it would be okay to take another pseudonym as an alter-ego to address issues that would not be typical of him, so ira_lee_pistimov was born. Some of you won't even need to read her name twice to get the connection. But, they did possess a certain consistency, because when you "go against the grain," periodically you're bound to "really piss them off" sooner or later. I changed ISP and email accounts, and forgot the passwords for those two and for the email account associated with them. They are history, they haven't posted in quite some time, TECHNICALLY; but, of course they have as I still post with this pseudonym. One last thought, for anyone who hasn't been put to sleep by this droning blog yet... A pseudonym says absolutely NOTHING about our personal character. It doesn't prove us to be GOOD. It doesn't denote BAD. It just IS WHAT IT IS; namely a way to protect a little bit of personal space. 140136 .

blog entry What is a Libertarian?entry #6. posted on 8:38am Apr 21, 2012 - mood: happyHave you ever posed a question to which everybody had a different answer? Try asking someone to define Libertarian. You may get a wide variety of answers which create confusion. However, the precise fact that Libertarians are difficult to pin down does identify them as Libertarian. No one tells a Libertarian how to think, not if he/she is TRULY Libertarian. And a Libertarian who is philosophically committed to that position will not spend an excessive amount of time trying to sway the way YOU think. And this is not to say we are without argument. We believe in the system as it was originally intended to be. When controversy arises, as it will, we let all voices be heard, and think the people should make an informed decision. I have heard critics say that extreme Libertarianism is tantamount to anarchy, as we hold civil liberties with an undue reverence. I disagree. Libertarianism is not opposed to laws that are practical, enforceable, and consistent with majority opinion. Any other laws which may be meted out are either excessive, or superfluous. Because we are free thinkers, it is not always a safe assumption that the best answer to your question will come from a Libertarian. Words and definitions change in the course of time. An analogy: Coffee drinkers in the US have long been acquainted with the "Yuban" brand name. But is Yuban the same today as it was in yesteryear? I think not. At one time it was 100% Colombian; but not anymore. The constitution of the product itself has changed, and I will refer back to this at the end of my blog, so keep that fact in mind. The question people should ask of persons who identify themselves as Libertarian should vary depending on the questioner. Ask them what they think about your favorite topic, and don't assume that you would get the same answer from another Libertarian. Libertarians are neither conservative or liberal in the way that either of those words have evolved in the last century. Possibly the most insulting thing that you could say to THIS Libertarian is that he is a moderate. Whooooeeee! That's like saying I'm neither cold nor hot, and that my Higher Power would just as soon spit me out of his mouth. But, that's just me. I just won't spend a lot of time debating with someone who can't be civil in spite of strong opinion. I hope what I've said has given you a "taste" of how I view the honor of being called Libertarian. It's a taste of freedom--of thought, of word, of deed--and, like 100% Colombian coffee, nothing else compares (at least in my opinion)to that. How did I realize that Yuban coffee was no longer 100% Colombian? I tasted it! And I knew with the first cup of the (new) stuff that I needed to find myself another brand. "Yuban isn't what it used to be," I noted. (And neither are the political labels we have today what they used to be) Please don't tell me that another Libertarian thinks I'm all messed up on my definition of Libertarian. I'll just laugh. Of course he/she does! They are free to do that, that's what makes them Libertarian. no comments. : add comment blog entry 14 againentry #5. posted on 11:23pm Sep 16, 2011 - mood: happytoday I have 5182 days of freedom; it's like I was born again. I cried and whined that first year like a baby, I passed through the terrible "twos", started preschool when I was "three," and have had to repeat some classes. Now I'm 14 and excited about "dating" and interacting with other human beings in a more "adult" fashion. btw--I was born in 1963, so how can this all be true? And yet it is. no comments. : add comment
blog entry A Joke, by vitasveritasentry #4. posted on 11:19am Sep 07, 2011 - mood: happyPeople at work are always sharing jokes. Here is one. married couple Ralph and Susan are just kicking back on their day off. Susan gets up to go into the kitchen for a soda, when Ralph notices and comments, on the increasing size of her... (err, backside). "Your @$$ sure is getting big, Susan! I bet it's as wide as the BBQ grill outside." "It IS NOT! Susan shoots back a comment and glare. Not picking up on the social clues, Ralph persists, "Well, let's just do a little measuring." Ralph heads off to the garage where he gets his tape measure. He proceeds to the back yard and measures the width of their grill. Then, back in the house, Ralph takes a measurement of Susan's backside. "Yep, Sue, yer butt is an inch and a half wider than the grill." Later that night, in bed, Ralph becomes a bit frisky and expresses that intent with Susan. Susan's reply: "You don't really expect me to "fire up" this big grill for one "little weanie," do yah, Ralphie boy? So, is my friend's joke funny no comments. : add comment
