Feces just started sliding out of my butthole, and going onto the floor. My girlfriend was screaming as she saw the poo filling up the kitchen floor. My girlfriend had also drank some of the wine on the kitchen table and she started complaining about how strong it tasted. By the time my friends and I got to the police station I was completely wasted and in a lot of pain.
The police took me away, but before they did anything my girlfriend and her friends threw up all over the police car!
Grades really took a beating when I was a high school freshman in 1973 and I got a DUI from a night at a bar (my cousin got me the job).
I remember coming home and running into my room, and dropping my stuff. I took off my shoes and pants and threw my clothes at my door. I just laid down on the floor and started puking. I puked until I was tired. I remember thinking: If I had to go through this all again, I would not drink.
As I am an anarchist, the thought of being accountable for an impaired thought sounds exciting to me, but once I am under the influence, I will do just about anything (often in the line of duty), and I think I'm actually on to something. The government should legalize mental health and social services in an effort to save us from ourselves.

Does anybody remember the DALL-E Mini craze of June 2022? It was awesome, although most of the results looked like smudged Francis Bacon paintings. I'm sure much more efficient DALL-E drones will become available by then, but for now, I've got a DALL-A in a backpack, and I'm ready to go. The fact that it will go from $399 to $399 in 2022 doesn't bother me at all.
So, the Second Coming will be on its way in a couple of years, assuming our lunatic President is not in jail or doing a nine-month stint at The White House Hotel after having what the media won't tell us is an "old-fashioned" meltdown and his supporters are still telling us that the mainstream media is the enemy of America. Whatever. I'm going to be in Kenya by then and will be taking copious notes.
In the meantime, I've been researching certain projects for the time when the U.S. decides to stop being a superpower and become a semi-apocalyptic after-hours restaurant, which means my 2020 book project isn't going to happen.

Pumps and a bumpPumps and a bumpWe like the girls’ wall-mounted pumps because you can turn the pump around and the whole system snaps into place with a single push. It can also fit in tighter spaces and, with four outlets, we can pump from one wall-mounted outlet and run the whole system with just one battery pack. The main component, a pump, sits right on the wall and is simple to mount, and the removable battery pack sits on the floor right in front of the pump. The batteries last a little longer than the battery in your iPhone, but we were able to pump just as much, and the pumps themselves do not heat up much more than a normal household

As he finished telling us of an island that was supposed to be a psychopomp, or centaur psychopomp, I decided it was probably best not to push him on this one. After he left, I laid in bed with Fred, and shared my beliefs with him.I don't think he necessarily believed me, but at least he listened.He did ask if I thought there was a psychopomp on the island.I answered him honestly.If there was, he probably wasn't there right now, for there wouldn't be a psychopomp.
Sheila produced her father's notebook - there were sketches of centaurs. Perhaps this is a clue to which Island the scepter is hidden on. Perhaps she is psychopomp and has been with them for centuries. Even ancient scrolls are enough to place her in ancient times. I dreamt we met the centaur brother - Silouan, the Chief Centaur.

While he was walking in the direction that he believed to be southward, he was attacked by a tiger which pounced on him and carried him to its lair where it proceeded to devour him.

They threw party hats and plastic wrist bands around and danced to the music they had taped. In the background of the photos are the names of each and every deceased relative of the group of friends.
When the photographer reached the end of the names of the dead, he looked down the line of gravestones and saw that all of the teens who died were buried on the other side.

Betelgeuse was making fun of batman. Batman got angry and swiped at Betelgeuse who parried. Batman demanded to know why Betelgeuse was mocking him. Betelgeuse said that batman should keep his day job. Batman immediately retorted, that he didn't want to get batman involved in his day job. Betelgeuse stated that he was Batman and Batman said that he was Betelgeuse, and they continued to swing at each other. Everyone got really excited and started cheering. Batman started to get too involved, though, as he swung at Betelgeuse and then punched an innocent bystander. Betelgeuse stopped fighting Batman, picked up the innocent bystander and began to walk away, leaving Batman with a lump on his head. Betelgeuse began to leave, but then turned around, thinking that Batman was giving chase. Betelgeuse asked Batman what he wanted and Batman stated that he had no problem with him, but that it wasn't his fight. Batman said that he was leaving and turned around to leave, but then decided to make one last attempt at a fight. Batman leapt at Betelgeuse and they locked arms and swung at each other. Batman had gained the upper hand and knocked Betelgeuse to the ground. He prepared to punch him, but was stopped by Prof. Octopus who threw a grappling hook at Batman. The hook flew back at Betelgeuse, and he grabbed it and swung back. He sliced the gauntlet from Batman's right arm, leaving only his hand attached to Batman. Batman was powerless to resist and was about to be killed, but was saved by Superman who tackled Betelgeuse and knocked him out. Batman was completely stunned and asked Superman what the hell just happened.
Betelgeuse kicked Batman in the nuts. And then punched him in the face. The reader, however, was not alerted. Why should they be? Unless you really want to immerse yourself in the bracingly verbal stylings of The Authority's tentacled fist, that's your business. Which, again, is not how I see any superhero comic.

Musk, who recently told a room full of Tesla employees that "the entire internet will be free," is encouraging his followers to donate to his tunnel-digging venture, The Boring Company, to get a paywalled pass for video that he promised would be "all insane, certifiably insane video content.”
So, what's the status of this payment-for-content venture? "While it's not 100% confirmed, it looks like Paywalled video will indeed be coming soon to @twitter," wrote the company's director of media relations, Michael Sitrick, in an email on Wednesday.
An internal team has spent the past few weeks discussing the new product with engineers and others. “We are in very early stages of development, and we are working hard to develop a service that's really simple, fast, and great for what Twitter's for — the live-streaming of life's moments," Sitrick said. "We will let you know when we have more details."
Twitter, the 140-character messaging service that serves up an incredible amount of unbridled emotion, events and commentary, has for years been struggling to get people to pay for the privilege of tweeting.
Some have even taken to calling the service "the Social Network" because users sign up to see what friends are saying and then send them messages in return. In a 2005 analysis, Forrester Research found that only 3 percent of people had paid for their account, and among those who did, almost half ended up paying just once or twice.
A 2013 survey by eMarketer found that fewer than 1 percent of people had made a monthly subscription payment to Twitter. The same survey found that 5 percent had a paid-for Instagram account, which has grown faster than Twitter.
The company has experimented with a number of paid products, including "promoted tweets" that bring in revenue when users click on them.
The product Musk is talking about is said to be like Instagram. It would allow users to make a regular monthly payment that would get them a monthly badge and possibly a blue check mark next to their username so they could find conversations about their tweets in search.
But there are some significant differences. When you click on a paywalled video, users would not be able to see tweets on the stream in that area, according to people familiar with the product, even though it would be buried in the regular feed.
Twitter users who use the company's mobile app would also be unable to tweet on that platform. The tweets would have to come from a computer or another mobile device.
In the meantime, it's not clear when Musk's streaming video-only effort will launch. His social-media service, Tesla, is launching its first Model 3, the latest electric sedan that could revolutionize the auto industry, on Friday. It also wants to start charging for its Supercharger stations, which provide juice to its electric cars.
According to a recent tweet, Musk said he expected to reveal more details in a week or two.

I don't make a big deal out of sugar. I'm not against it. But I don't eat a ton of sugar. I also have a personal belief that a poor diet is a poor diet. Just because I have a diet that has sugar in it doesn't mean I'm promoting sugar.

Got up at 5am, had an amazing morning jog, said amazing morning mantras, shot off e-mails to advise everyone that I'm reading e-mails just between 2-3pm today to catch up e-mails, now getting some amazing #inspro while driving this amazing kale breakfast smoothie!! It's about motivation!! The motivation to write a children's book about elephants enjoying quinoa snacks!! Love it so much that I'm going to double down on putting leads in Salesforce this morning!! So motivating, amazing!! Not too late either to write that story!! This one post on Reddit shows that every time you tell yourself something is "urgent", you're setting yourself up for failure. The idea that we have to make everything right all the time is totally off-base. Life is not a scavenger hunt, and we have a finite amount of energy. These tricks are the wrong way to go. Also, if something is urgent, it's not necessarily not important enough to keep you up to date. It's possible that you can answer it as soon as you get around to it. That is, in fact, the sort of person who will not keep pushing a list of "urgent" tasks off indefinitely. On the other hand, if you keep putting off the "urgent" tasks, they're going to get more and more important over time. You can spend your time that you would have spent writing that story on things that are in fact more important. My meditation coach had a somewhat humorous take on this one: "If you have an urgent task, go do it. If you have a non-urgent task, go do that. If you have an important task, go do that. If you have an unimportant task, go do that. In the meantime, you can either meditate, make art, workout, go for a walk, call a friend, read, watch a movie, clean, meditate, exercise, do dishes, get the mail, do laundry, meditate." You don't have to put off your higher-level activities just because there's a low-level task to do.
