One of my monkeys is being fed a very strict, very regimented diet \u2026 same feeding time, portions are weighed and measured before serving \u2026 the entire process is actually automatic, so I don\u2019t have to look at that monkey anymore because it disgusts me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan was to feed that monkey its minimums on schedule so it could go on ahead and starve to death and wither away nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was that again?\u00a0 Men plan and GOD laughs <\/em>and laughs <\/em>and laughs <\/em>\u2026\u00a0 {Psalms 37:13<\/em>}<\/p>\n\n\n\n Turns out, the zookeeper commissioned to feed this monkey decided to, well, have intimate relations with farm animals and then defecate amongst the hay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stupid zookeeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In actual English \u2026 turns out, the bank making the autopays to satisfy this particular debt had a \u2026 glitch in its matrix and the payments either didn\u2019t get made or the funds weren\u2019t transferred or the account wasn\u2019t debited so now \u2026 gotta go look at that monkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t like that monkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That monkey smells<\/em>, and threw poo on me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n BUT, however, nevertheless, despite \u2026 it is my monkey, and still I must feed it, less it chews off my face, eats my fingers, and digests my balls, as it were.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n How very droll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Completely related but did you see her face transplant didn\u2019t take?\u00a0 How much does that suck?\u00a0 But maybe not really because she is blind so she can\u2019t see the failure of modern medicine \u2026 after all, they do call it the practice<\/em> of medicine, like they\u2019re still working out the details until they can get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not.\u00a0 Kind of like the practice<\/em> of law \u2026 what other profession(s) get paid to try things out, see if they actually work?\u00a0 We don’t have the practice <\/em>of engineering or the practice <\/em>of architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Heh.\u00a0 Must be nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kind of like computers. Humans are expected\/anticipated\/encouraged to trust these automated, automatic systems with all these artificial, man-devised smarts and then the darn things suffer a meltdown and then \u2026 queue LifeLock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Funny (not really) \u2014 there is a thing called identity restoration insurance, for when your personal identity sold on the web gets sold to the wrong folks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 100 years ago, just had to protect against floods, and fires, and, like, death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now? A person\u2019s habits, practices, and history is commoditized and up for sale, and therefore can now be stolen. Like shoes from a fancy party (I see you, Carrie Bradshaw\u2014what a moronic show, so irrationally popular, and Samantha was the most honest of the four\/go figure \u2026 Miranda should have terminated and spared Steve the pain of dealing with her but digress<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I do not have\/will not pay for LifeLock or identity theft insurance or any more of the fleecing of the American sheep because \u2026 well, because methinks we are irritated by the entire Ponzi scheme of American capitalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m supposed\/expected to check theKid\u2019s credit report for theft, and theKid doesn\u2019t even have a job, apart from classwork and sports practice and navigating life with me as a parent and now have to concern theKid\/me&myself with the possibility of someone stealing an identity that isn\u2019t even fully formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What the nutz? The Masters of Mankind need a muzzle. For realz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Guess the whole point of that exercise was still gotta look at the monkey, particularly when I don\u2019t like what I see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Must pay attention, constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t know these people, but an incident involving these folks caused enough of a news burp to give me mental indigestion (heh but not really) \u2026 seems that, a … rapper? influencer? personality of pop culture? was enjoying a meal with the woman not good enough to be his wife but upon whom he\u2019d bred some children (that\u2019s \u201cbaby mama\u201d to those in the cheap seats) and she decided to post their actual, real-time location with some pics on social media (Can you say \u201cclout-chaser\u201d?\u00a0 Anyone?\u00a0 Anyone?\u00a0 I knew you could!<\/em>) and he would up getting shot and killed for her stupidity \u2026 and his, apparently, for being with a woman not worthy to wife but adequate to breed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now again, I don\u2019t know these people, but from all appearances both were fairly trite \u2026 he, for wearing eleventy-hundred of thousands in jewelry \u2026 to eat chicken&waffles? as opposed to attending an awards show or performing in a video shoot, and she, for, well, being a foolish woman (is that redundant?\u00a0 Methinks that\u2019s redundant \u2026 carrying on) but, more importantly, they both were symbols of the age \u2026 life on display, look at me\u2014no, over here<\/em>\u2014constantly seeking the validation of strangers to click on their crap for amusement and, possibly, likely, envy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The point? Seems like the more we try to pimp technology, the harder it pimpslaps us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What was that again?\u00a0 What did GOD tell us about HIS return?\u00a0 Something about lovers of selves?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Must pay attention, always.\u00a0 {James 5:8<\/em>}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my monkeys is being fed a very strict, very regimented diet \u2026 same feeding time, portions are weighed and measured before serving \u2026 the entire process is actually automatic, so I don\u2019t have to look at that monkey anymore because it disgusts me.
