universal

Will likely ace my EPA certification test tommorrow. took the practice test twice, second time got 98 out of 100 right, and learned the remaining two answers. the only thing it I have to get to school on time , 8am, to take it. I will soon be a "universal" technician. space travel included.

old times

went to the neighborhood clinic again today to get results for the blood work. It is in an old building around 100 years I guess, formerly lLincoln highschool in the old black Frenchtown. Across the small parking lot sits teh former site of an 'alternative' I highschool I attendid in 86-87 I think. A few blocks away was the middle school I attended. where I first bought Cannabis (I got my first acid at the aforementioned highschool, where I would return in later years to sell the chemical). Later around 16-17 years old, me and friends stared hanging out with an old black dude, Jesse James. No, shit. I use his real name because I heard he died a some ten years back. He was about my age now, or a little younger when we would hang with T (abbreviation of his nickname, which I wont disclose). We'd drink 11-11 malt liquor, smoke cigarettes and often a little rock. We all were granted nicknames evnetually. I was J cool groove. I still probably would be to a handful olf old black dudes on the northside of Tally, if any are still kicking.

at the clinic at the waiting bench two jabbery country women sat to my left. On my right a middle aged coutry dude that talked alittle like Carl in "Slingblade'. and a cute friendly but slightly Ill looking young woman with piercing blue eyes named Kristal, about 18-19 yrs old. Later a nice older black lady came with a kid, and reminded us reminded us to pray to Jesus. Then a girl came in with her face severely melted by a fire. Krystal, the yound girl was friendly to her. then the burned girl began to speak loudly about pregnancy and prison etc. to someone on her cell phone. It turned into a bizzare scene for a few minutes. Not to mention the drugged out woman, Xanax maybe, passed out in the waiting room. it took three nurses to wake her up a bit, at which point she immediately spilled coffee all over herself. Its a jungle out there.

they took more blood. evidently some liver enzymes are high. but not the ones associated with drinking , but with hep C. so they will check. while waiting for the phlebotomist (been waiting to use that word), visions of Indian barbers scraping my face and head came to mind. I have not used intrevenous drugs ever, but I did have a biopsy done in Agra, and an appendectomy in 2000, though that should not be suspect. Ill know in a week. everything else is good apperantly.

language, the combinations of sounds to possess meanings. often many meanings. we search for meanings and or knowledge in many ways with senses. the language itself is always a code as well as sounds that reflect life of peoples and other animals need and or desire for communication as they are lodged in time and space always shifting with the landscape. but what does communication mean. speaking in older times and typing in modern. thats all.

news

MLK Day
I would ask somebody, what do yo do on a hypogly diet what to do when you cant eat as in the flu or something. Not that I am or expect to be. Watched 'Outsourced' last night. funny. made me miss India.
Review of RAW rolling papers: attractive, translucent light brown. tastes like cardboard. tried to slice off gum with sharp blade, and taste improved slightly. chewed those discarded strips and the tsted like chewing a gummed piece of cardboard; which it occurred to me that it is essentially that. (fiber content source(s) not listed. But they burn really well with the proprietary water mark. burn slow and even. goes out in between puffs, which is helpful for solo smoking. burning a single paper leave only traces of grey ash. perhaps the gum strip, which is perhaps too plentiful in this 1.25 size paper. (made in Spain, by Supreme -something-follow pic link to site)) $2 (US) retail, 1.25, 32 leaves pack.

Bottom line, burns good, tastes not so good, much better for the envirnment. I'll give em a thums up.

weather update:

LOoks like we will be spared from predicted temps in the teens (F). Forecast for friday is still 23, which is chilly for me in our little swamp bunker.

my life is the biggest experiment of my life. how to live. which means essentially what to think. or maybe a why to think. at least that's what I think.

the 'job fair' today was incredibly shitty production. This town is beat. Time to beat it.


I honestly think people and countries should be judged on how thay are currently. The history of a country of a person or country (a specific collection of persons) can only really be known to the individual.

humans changed along with the concept of money. to group/tribe has become too big, cnn culture makes one think the world is all around him, neglecting the people across the street or across town. we stare at computer screens

the move to ATL is looking more real. a clean slate, a new state. work will be easier to find. at least thats the idea.

I tried to make the preceeding Tox log entries visible only to me for my reference, as that is who they are meant for (in the event anyone is reading this), but I either can't figure out how to or you cant on this site w/o saving as a draft
