Category: List of 12

I’m going into town tomorrow, so there will only be one post. Not so different from today, just all at once.

Who am I kidding 10 ideas a day, that’s the least I can do.

1. Look over the mountains and you might see it.
   –
2. Past the mountains in the lands, we were humanity dwells unnoticed by the greater beasts within.
   (Ack I need to work on this one some more, that’s why editor, I’m never satisfied with the first line that comes out. Yet this entire blog is still an act of compromise, or maybe practice.)
   –
3. I looked up, and up, then I looked up some more.
   –
4. We heard a great pounding the earth shook, but while all that was going on, our prey fled from within a bush I swear I looked in three times.
   –
5. Let’s see those pearly whites. Open wide! Okay, not that wide we don’t want to scare the birds away.
   –
6. Huge and imposing, it looked up at us and trembled.
   You think you were imposing, it must have thought on know these big bumbling giants are going to fall over and crush me.
   –
7. Tossing and turning the valley its bed, a bit more and we’d all be dead.
   –
8. Slowly it walked, and yet we could not build and distance.
   We were like ants to it and our only hope would be that we’d be too irritating to deal with.
   –
9. He stood a full foot taller than me, but that’s not saying much, I’m kinda short.
   –
10. We were like ants, and the machine our construction. It may have taken us generations to make, but it would sustain our culture for generations more.
    –
11. I’m not kidding it was this big! That big? Yes, don’t roll your eyes you’d have run away as well.
    From a little kitten, who’re ya kidding.
    “Kids these days that disrispect’ll be the end of them.”
    –
12. And after a years’ worth of digging, we weren’t even halfway through.

I’m not yet back to form with the pre-posts. But I’ll try some of these again.

1. The talented child, he understands human interaction intuitively, he can get what he wants, he’s a wonderful conversationalist. But he is still a child, with childlike wants and needs. Who’s parent were rich enough to protect him from the consequences of his actions. But not smart enough to see where that leads.
   –
2. The unfortunate mastermind, so focused on his plots and plans, so capable of getting the results. And so great at ascribing reasons to why things happen. His actions have consequences, but they rarely factor into his plots.
   –
3. The opposing expert is leading in his field. And yet he is wrong. He has an argument that proves his point no matter what you say, and he always has the data to back it up.
   –
4. The fearful hero, someone must do what must be done. There is no other option and he sees it. But the other forces at play do not understand why such a coward involves himself in their plots and plans.
   –
5. The dumb hero, and even when he sees the actual danger then he continues to try regardless, ingratiating himself to the one who revealed to him the truth, but moral enough to follow the right advice. As long as his influences remaining pure and correct then he shall not be defeated.
   –
6. The bad liar, one only needs to believe one thing he says for a second then he shall take the money and run before clearer heads come into play.
   –
7. The media businessman who has not yet done evil. But when you can profit from telling stories why bother to investigate further?
   –
8. The lazy lord, yet he does his duty because he must. But when compared to those who act for self-gain he may seem great. But they actually work to improve their domains. Still, the lazy lord can allow for great growth by not getting in his people’s way. But he is sitting on a system that is holding them down, and his advisers know best how to solve the problems.
   –
9. A lady of strict morals but lax standards. A poor child, a sad adult. One who had to sell her body to survive. Yet she still has room for empathy, those who go to her once may treat her badly, but later they go to her for advice. She truly wishes the best for others, but she does not know how to utilize her own value.
   –
10. Lady lost in a city far from home, she has her pride and for that, she won’t atone.
    Unwilling to stop too low, but unable to get enough money. Still, with her pride, she will not fall into places where others are willing to go, and what little she has is clean and well organized.
    She might go hungry but she’ll never starve.
    –
11. The victim of circumstance. He is unwilling but he will starve, his pride is more important than seeing the stars, and yet he is willing to throw it all away if he got a little better pay.
    –
12. The hero of circumstance, though their situations may be identical, the hero shall try and rais those around him, eventually becoming a moral leader in his community.

Well, I feel I lost my direction halfway though I hope that too was worth reading.

I said I’m back but I’m not really acting like it. I haven’t actually produced much content. And I had plans, I’ll just call it writer’s block and write something I’ve been trying to work on for over a month now. It won’t be perfect and may I may fail to communicate what I intended too but something is better than nothing. But it doesn’t feel right right now… Maybe tomorrow.

Procastination And It’s Ilk (though sometimes some of these excuses are justified.)

1. I want it to be in the perfect place at the perfect time.
   –
2. I want to do it when I’m ready and full of energy.
   –
3. I can do it in a day, there is no need that day be today.
   –
4. I have more urgent things to get to. (And often those things don’t need to be gotten to at all.)
   –
5. I don’t feel good so I don’t have to work today.
   –
6. I am far too stressed to get anything done let’s get back to it when I’m more relaxed.
   –
7. I can’t help it. THere are other things that draw my attention more.
   –
8. It isn’t any fun yet. I should only work on something that is fun for me to do.
   –
9. I know everything I need to know about it and there is no solution.
   –
10. There did twice as much as I did at half the age there’s nothing I can really add that someone else can’t.
    –
11. This isn’t what I expected when I tried to complete this project I’m not prepared for this type of work.
    –
12. And the worst one for me: I don’t know how to move forward or what to do.

There is no pre-post today because I had a friend over for the first half of the morning and I spent the entire first half of the day being social. It just feels wrong to be doing that now.

Today’s color is #f1f2f3

And there is no texture I’ll be back with those next week. I just need to take a step back and refocus. And until then. I don’t know, have a silly list. Really this is just filler for me.

1. Grab the edge and slide it.
   –
2. Smash it. If you can’t smash, use a blow torch. If a blowtorch doesn’t work, try a crapton of ice as well.
   –
3. But most don’t have what they need for that, but if you stick something to your car…
   –
4. But some windows are in the wrong place, and you don’t want to put in the effort of moving an engine. You can try repeated impact with leverage. Or try something pointy. Just make sure it doesn’t break on you.
   –
5. But if the window doesn’t give in, you can always try the wall around it.
   –
6. Or you can remove it from its setting.
   –
7. You can attack glue to your hands to try and slide it open. Y
   –
8. You can try to unscrew the locking mechanism. Using a lock picking kit or a paper clip, but paper clips usually aren’t sturdy enough.
   –
9. Asking someone else to do so often works.
   –
10. You can start by turning on your computer or your phone. Then opening a browser often helps. But many programs can be opened in separate windows.
    –
11. Remove the frame WIth any of the tools mentioned again. A file also works, but that can take a long time.
    –
12. Remove the frame by repeatedly urinating on it until you resolve through it. Not the cleanest of methods or the quickest, but it works in alignment with other things on the list.

1. The first part, the some say the hardest, but getting out of bed isn’t the hardest. It’s hard because you don’t have a reason to yet.
   –
2. The second part, if your lucky you know what your doing, and this lasts longer, but it’s fun and creative and your moving but eventually comes part three.
   –
3. Yes, there is work in the work you are doing, there are parts of it that aren’t entertaining or creative, there are parts that are route. But you have to make sure your ideas are down and that they are down clearly.
   –
4. And in the fourth part you see progress, you work again you are excited again. And you get tired, and it is longer than you expected but as soon as your over this hill, your great thing will be out there.
   –
5. Or maybe the next hill. And you aren’t an artist, or if you are, you aren’t a writer, and if you are, you aren’t a music maker. But who needs music for this project? It’s not the point, move on, you need not worry about what is missing or what to add. At least not yet.
   –
6. But your invested and you need to get something out, it may not be perfect but gosh darn-it this will be great. Right?
   –
7. The seventh part, unexpected because it isn’t directly related to your project you didn’t even know it existed. But if you want your project to be completed you’ll have to learn.
   –
8. The eight part, can be the easiest if you were prepared or have the right people to help you. But if it falls into the knowledge you didn’t know you needed to have. It can be suffering. Though if you enjoy overcoming difficulty, even when it was placed there artificially by others before you. Have fun.
   –
9. The ninth part, Nearing completion you have to make a choice, you are a minute from completion; you must face the decisions from part 5. Will you invest more time and money completing parts or will you release an incomplete project. Are you willing to take feedback, and what feedback we’re you ignoring until now.
   And after an inordinate amount of time, from a day to a few years you have say.
   What the heck let’s just get this done, and worry about perfecting it later. Or this is perfect and nothing else will change.
   –
10. The tenth part is release, and it can be painfully slow, it often is. Here ignored problems will either come to light or be revealed as phantoms of the mind. And here comes success.
    –
11. But nothing survives contact with the world, update, upgrades adjustments, people refusing to sell your thing because of other reasons. You’ll need to keep working on it, or pay other people to do so.
    –
12. And now it is know, and people have questions. Here you can choose, is it a product a result, or is it something you want to define you as a person. Here you have a choice, will you distance yourself from it and claim ownership. Or become it’s face and representative. A choice you can make again in the future, and a choice you may have made a few ties prior. But here is when the choice most matters.

1. The stairway to the truth, a path straight forward path, but it is said that at the end lies a the end of all that is. So thousands have blockaded it, and many other built false ends.
   –
2. The stairway to absolute power, a path incomplete with steps missing all along the way.
   –
3. The stairway to heaven, a metaphor, in scripture there was a ladder. Doesn’t seems as easy now does it?
   –
4. A stairway to the temple at the top of the hill. But really what else did you expect?
   –
5. A stairway leading to a fort. Alone it takes a little time and effort, but just try marching an army up there.
   –
6. Some indoor stairs. For a house that could not fit and still have the garden it wanted.
   –
7. Other indoor stairs, because apparently you couldn’t trust us to make a elevator that will work for all eternity.
   –
8. A stairway combo, because sometimes digital games require so much skill that people will pay to watch them. Also they name tricks the player have done in order to get around the game.
   –
9. A stairway down a mountain. Those monks were full of crap, I prefer those at the other mountain, they really knew what they were doing.
   –
10. A stairway to hell, take it step by step, with gift shops every step along the way.
    –
11. A stairway out. Is it not just a ramp? No a ramp would be suspicious we must pave the exit to our escape tunnel with stairs, so that it blends into the city and isn’t seen as suspicious. At least, once we put in the gate and the warning signs.
    –
12. A stairway in theory. It can be at any angle you want it to be.

Well, I think I can come up with twelve.

1. Pure
   –
2. Pure of heart, sinless
   –
3. Niave, clean of experiance
   –
4. Clear of skin, (Not saying a color thing here if you can see the natural color or the tan, than it is clear of skin.)
   –
5. Absence of dirt and filth
   –
6. Absence of bacteria
   –
7. Absence of crime or of moral guilt
   –
8. Without error
   –
9. Music without other sound.
   –
10. Without suspicion
    –
11. Covered only in materials that are socially acceptable
    –
12. Smells of only what we think is good.

These are essentially my cheat posts at this point. Because I can always come up with more. I have no idea why I have developed this particular skill, or maybe they’re just easy lists to make. I don’t know I haven’t asked anyone yet.
Well, even if they aren’t easy per-say I would think they are easier than a lot of the other lists and posts I try to create. So maybe it’s just that.

1. Exact Fish Feeding Habits – And how to measure your fishes weight and to identify it’s appetite and species so that you always feed it the perfect amount.
   –

1. Depending on the expletive, just look unattractive.
   –
2. Don’t be attracted to horses, and if you are, either avoid them at all cost or redefine your attraction into something less gross.
   –
3. Same for other animals.
   –
4. Don’t eat as much. Spend a lifetime researching how the human body produces food and waste products. And figure out how to minimize your own bodily waste.
   –
5. Stay married.

11. Stop talking. Isolate yourself from culture.
    –
12. Breath in breath out, and use a single non-expletive word with which you will then refer to any person anywhere. And another word for plural people.

Or you can just, ya know, stop using expletives but where’s the fun in that?

I have 30 minutes to write this, so I will write for 30 minutes.

10 Things I could’ve done in these 30 minutes.

1. Been creative tried out new ideas. I could’ve thought, but that has inconsistent returns. I wouldn’t have as much to write here, or maybe I would’ve had more…
   –
2. FInally written Self Helps Predatory Monetization Schemes. But before writing it the first time, I read up on it a bit, and everything I had today had already been saying. So I planned to take the perspective that the people running the self-help schemes believe what they are selling. And that they do show good results for at least 50% of the people who follow through. (And there’s the rub because if you actually followed through, you probably didn’t need the self-help in the first place.)
   –
3. Predatory monetization schemes have existed since people had the money to spend on them. So if I spent 30 minutes finding even one or two archetypical ones, then it could benefit a lot of people. Of course, making them both vague enough and finding examples would probably take me more than 30 minutes, but it’s something worth doing.
   –
   I could’ve started r/Predatory Monetization. Still, I’d need more time to make it work. That will be my project this week. Well, to find a week’s worth of content so I have a head start on my daily posting there. I’ll do it when I write my pre-post, and if it ever gets big enough, I can delegate that to the other moderators.
   –
4. I could’ve done piano exercises, or I could’ve done my hip exercises. It’s a good time of day for that, and I want to better develop those habits.
   –
5. I could’ve got back into contact with an old friend. If they don’t answer their digital communication device, I have enough that I could find one who will.
   –
6. I could’ve created a character. Or better Characterized one. I don’t think I could communicate them as well in that much time. At least not if the character was person enough for me.
   –
7. I could’ve decided what to do with the next half a year. But that would be stretching it, and I don’t think future me would like past me’s decisions. I should’ve done so anyway, it’s better to be working towards something than not to be.
   Or at least it would be better for me.
   –
8. I could’ve donated money to charity. I could’ve done my research on a charity or two and figured out how much of their money actually helps people. Who am I kidding that would take me far longer. But that too is a project worth doing.
   –
9. I could’ve written a really lazy piece of music. Well more likely a very simple piece I don’t have that much experience with this.
   –
10. I could’ve done something productive, or organized my clothing shelf. But all I did was declare a project for myself this week.
    (So I hope to follow through.)
    –
11. I could’ve written a lot of words. But I wouldn’t have been saying as much as I said here, at least not as clearly.
    –
12. I could’ve come up with at least 12 book ideas depending on how I constrained myself. But what’s the point if they don’t lead to future actions or discusions.

What I can do Is get on with setting up my other page for this. After get my teeth looked at by a professional.
