And on this day has found itself another one of those Sundays that has rolled around again. That day of rest, the Sabbath. Or is that Saturday? And yet I find myself blogging about Modern Furniture. You know, furniture that is modern. And what else is there that I can say about furniture that has not already been said in time. And usually if one happens to find themselves as one of those human beings dwelling here on planet earth, one can usually use some sort of object to sit, lie or lean on. And there seems to be an endless amount of those objects to be found for human beings here on planet earth such as tables, desks, chairs, beds and beyond, for those kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms and other rooms one finds themselves dwelling in. And those objects usually are to be found in many shapes, colors and styles when it comes to decorating ones room. And now with the invention of modern furniture, I would imagine that that furniture can make ones home look modern and up to date with its furniture statement. And now also with the invention of that modern thing called the internet and online shopping, one does not even have to leave home to shop and find that furniture, or at least one does not have to leave a computer to find that modern furniture. Now in these modern days, finding that furniture can be just a website visit away.
An Article
And for some reason or another this post has me wondering what the phrase CAT 2011 means. And now with the the invention of that thing called the internet where knowledge finds itself increased at the speed of a millennium to the point of information overload, one can find out what just about anything under the sun means with just a website visit away. Long lore ago are the days of looking in one of those encyclopedias or dictionaries to be found on ones shelf under that first letter of that word to see what that book says about it. And so back to that phrase CAT 2011. What does that mean? As it seems as if it has something to do with some sort of study material or test or exams for careers or something like that. And what is there to say about study and study materials and schools and education and careers that has not already been said in time enough to blog in this blog post. And that subject of careers and the work world workplace can be a whole another topic to itself, I think. And then what does that word work mean anyway, that could be a whole another blog post. And so if you happen to be looking for study materials, knowledge, exams, or some kind of career profession for some reason or another, finding that information can be just a website visit away.
The Calendar
And from what I can see by looking at that Gregorian calendar on the wall is that is still the year 2010 A.D., or something like that. Though this post happens to be about 2011 promotional calendars. As usually the number 11 comes right after the number 10. And there’s that year 2012 to be found soon afterward. Now that should be an interesting one. That’s right, father time is passing us by, where seconds become minutes and minutes become hours, and hours become days and days that become weeks that become months, that become years that become centuries that become millenniums and so on and so on and so on. And so soon those holidays of festivities will be rolling around each year again and soon those stores will be displaying more and more of those end of the year beginning of next year calendars, those calendars that seem as if they want to tell us what to do right along next to those two sticks on the wall called clocks. And so there must be lots of words and sayings to be said about that word time. And now with the invention of all things internet, finding those calendars and creating your own personalized promotional calendars and more has never been easier.
Go Greyhound
Hey bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. “Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us”. Or something like that I think their motto goes. And from what I recall throughout my travels here on planet earth is that people sometimes take that Greyhound bus to that destination in somewhere North America and leave the driving to them. And those sides of those buses seem to have a photo of a hound dog going somewhere on them I guess. And so what’s that greyhound bus ride all about when one goes cross country in that country of North America, as it seems as if one has to be up to some serious adventure between sleeping sitting up for days at a time, trying not to sit near the bathroom seat if possible, getting off those buses at all hours of the day and night to transfer to another bus on one of those buses, trying not to get left behind at the rest stop or stranded at the side of the road kind of bus rides, reading one of those novels and books non stop even if it isn’t even interesting kind of rides to ride one of those buses and wondering whether to sit near the front or back of the bus kind of Greyhound bus rides. And that ride sometimes seems to be a ride of hard knock stories. And if one can get two seats to themselves to sit and sleep in on that Greyhound bus ride, wow! What’s that Greyhound bus ride all about.
A Lamp
Now here’s an interesting term that has me wondering what it means. Salt Lamps. And if you happen to be wondering that those salt lamps are all about or if you happen to be looking for them, you can find them and all about those Himalayan Salt Lamps from that recent invention called the world wide web internet, as those Himalayan Salt Lamps, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, Tibetan Prayer Flags, Tibetan Stress Tension Healing Incense, Tibet and Himalayan bath and spa salts and meditation and relaxation crystal singing bowls all seem to have something to do with Tibet and the Himalayas and are all Tibet and Himalayas and more all the time.
New York City
New York. Babylon. And it is not often that I find myself blah blogging someone else’s blog article, or is it? Though this is one of those times that I find myself reposting that article that someone else posted on one of those facebook pages titled “8.4 Million New Yorkers Suddenly Realize New York City A Horrible Place To Live“. And that is one funny article, I think. As that ONION seems to be one funny newspaper to be found in that city of New York. I think. And that articles is as follows. Have a great New York City Day.
NEW YORK—At 4:32 p.m. Tuesday, every single resident of New York City decided to evacuate the famed metropolis, having realized it was nothing more than a massive, trash-ridden hellhole that slowly sucks the life out of every one of its inhabitants.
With audible murmurs of “This is no way to live,” “What the hell am I doing here—I hate it here,” and “F**k this place. F**k this horrible place,” all 8.4 million citizens in each of the five boroughs packed up their belongings and told reporters they would rather blow their brains out with a shotgun than spend another waking moment in this festering cesspool of filth and scum and sadness.
By 5:15 p.m. there was gridlock traffic on the outbound sides of the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, and the area’s three major airports were flooded with New Yorkers, all of whom said they wanted to go anyplace where the pressure of 20 million tons of concrete wasn’t constantly suffocating them.
“I always had this perverted sense of pride because I was managing to scrape by here,” said Brooklyn resident Andrew McQuade, who, after watching two subway rats gnawing on a third bloody rat carcass, finally determined that New York City was a giant sprawling cancer. “Well, fuck that. I don’t need to pay $2,000 a month to share a doghouse-sized apartment with some random Craigslist dips**t to prove my worth. I want to live like a go*amn human being.”
“You see this?” added McQuade, pointing at a real estate listing for a duplex in Hagerstown, MD. “Two bedrooms, two baths, a den—a f**king den—and a patio. Twelve hundred a month. That’s total, not per person.”
According to residents, the mass exodus was triggered by a number of normal, everyday New York City events. For Erin Caldwell of Manhattan, an endlessly honking car horn sent her over the edge, causing her to go into a blind rage and scream “shut up!” at the vehicle as loud as she could until her voice went hoarse; for Danny Tremba of Queens it was being cursed at for walking too slow; and for Paul Ogden, also of Queens, it was his overreaction to somebody walking too slow.
Other incidents that prompted citizens to pick up and leave included the sight of garbage bags stacked 5 feet high on the sidewalk; the realization that being alone among millions of anonymous people is actually quite horrifying; a blaring siren that droned on and f***ing on; muddy, refuse-filled puddles that have inexplicably not dried in three years; the thought of growing into a person whose meanness and cynicism is cloaked in a kind of holier-than-thou brand of sarcasm that the rest of the world finds nauseating; and all the g**amn people.
In addition, 3 million New Yorkers reportedly left the city because they realized the phrase “Only in New York” is actually just a defense mechanism used to convince themselves that seeing a naked man take a s**t on a park bench is somehow endearing, or part of some shared cultural experience.
“I was sitting on my stoop, drinking coffee, and out of nowhere this crazy-looking woman just starts screaming, ‘I am inside all of you,’ over and over,” Bronx resident Sarah Perez, 37, said. “Then, we both had this moment where we looked at each other and realized, okay, we have to get out of here.”
“This place sucks,” Manhattan resident Woody Allen, 74, told reporters. “It just f***ing sucks.”
When fleeing New Yorkers were asked if they would miss the city’s iconic landmarks, most responded that Central Park is just a pathetic excuse for experiencing actual nature, that the Brooklyn Bridge is great but it’s just a f***ing bridge, that nobody goes to the Met anyway, and that living in a dingy, grime-caked apartment while exhaust fumes from an idling truck seep through your bedroom window isn’t worth slightly bigger bagels.
“This is no place to raise a kid, that’s for sure,” said 32-year-old Brandon Rushing, a lifelong New Yorker. “I grew up here and I turned into a giant a**hole. Why would I want that for my son?”
“Plus, we’re the place most likely to get nuked by a dirty bomb in a terrorist attack,” he added. “So that’s great. Also, it smells like sh*t here, and I’m not exaggerating. You’ll just be walking around and it starts smelling like human sh*t, and it just fills your nostrils and you breathe in sh*t for like 20 seconds.”
Before departing by private helicopter, Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke with members of the media to address the situation.
“You know what the greatest city in the world is?” Bloomberg asked reporters. “Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s clean, it’s not too big, it’s got a couple streets with shops and restaurants, and the people there aren’t f**king insane. This place is f***ing insane. And by the way, that’s not a reason to like it. Anyone who says that is a delusional dirtbag.”
By Tuesday night, New York was completely abandoned. At press time, however, some 10 million Los Angeles–area residents, tired of their self-centered, laid-back culture and lack of four distinct seasons, and yearning for the hustle and bustle of East Coast life, had already begun repopulating the city.
The Internet
And in case one has been stuck in the stone age of centuries ago, one may have not realized that these days and times happen to be the age of all things computers and that recent thing called the internet, world wide web. And who would have thought that one day everyone could have one of those personal computers to connect with others and do lots of other computing like things on those television like devices where one can change the channel on, like some information overload kind of thing. And welcome to the age of space technology. And do you sometimes find yourself in the middle of nowhere here on planet earth, unable to access that internet and connect to the world web web to surf that web. Well now there’s satelite internet for those who find themselves in the middle of nowhere. With satellite internet, I would imagine that one could connect to that internet sitting or a beach, or even in the middle of the ocean. Now with one of those satellites communication devices placed high up in the sky that beam those satelite beams down to planet earth, one could be surfing the web in no time, even from the middle of nowhere somewhere here on planet earth. And with the invention of all things internet, finding one of those satelite internet companies can be just a website visit away.
The Rent Is Too Damn High.org
The rent is too damn high. And if you live in that city of New York, your rent may be to damn high, The Rent Is Too Damn High, and your rent is too damn high. And how do I know the rent is too damn high in that city of New York, and probably just about everywhere in the world right about now, because Jimmy McMillan when he was standing on the corner of 14th Street and 1st Ave a while ago with that rent is too damn high party van with all of those the rent is too damn high party posters all over it with those the rent is too damn high horns on that rent is to damn high car blaring that the rent is too damn high message next to that rent is too damn high table with that rent is too damn high literature on it says so. And I have read of this rent is too damn high guy in the papers before when he ran as the rent is too damn high party campaigner for mayor right along with that Naked Cowboy who finds himself half naked playing guitar in Times Square in that city of New York all the time, every so often. And it does seem to be a gentrification to the point of genocide kill off the poor who can afford to live anywhere day and times to where even the yuppies, those young urban professionals, can’t even afford to pay the rent without ten full time jobs and twenty roomates these days and times, as those same two hundred dollar apartments from long lore ago, now seem to be two thousand dollar apartments in the game of monopoly. And what about those utopian ideas? Housing is a human right. If you need a home, take one. And you don’t even have to pay taxes. I have thought developers or individuals should work with the market place on how to formalize squatters rights, that the world housing crisis and mortgage meltdown will give rise to the squatters struggle as a vision of a world freed from bankers, bosses, and landlords who currently claim ownership and by freeing the land from the oppressors and creating zones of resistance and saying no to concentrated landlord and government ownership; to create a viable alternative for people of neighborhoods to restore homes through their own efforts. It is my utopian vision of seeing the earth as a liberated zone one day. Whose right is it to own the land that was supposed to be given to us free anyway? That the basic necessity of life, shelter is not free. Free the land. Squat The World. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. And what if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State?
A Hampton Sweepstakes
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.
If it’s free, then it’s for me, maybe. And that is what comes to mind when I see something that reads Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. And I would guess by the wording of that phrase, that those Hampton Hotels are having some sort of sweepstakes where you can stay at their hotel for free. And they are. You can enter to win a free weekend stay at any of their Hampton Hotels at their website. And what better way to take one of those weekend vacations to one of those weekend hotels, than for free. And when one is traveling with friends, those vacations can be even more funner. And what’s really cool is that they have so many hotels in so many destinations and countries, that one could take a vacation to places like the Bahamas, Brazil, Barbados, Egypt, France, Ethiopia and more. And these weekend stays are given away daily to a winner and their three friends. And what’s really awesome, is that the grand prize winner can win an entire hotel for a weekend. What? An entire hotel for a weekend? Now that sounds like a lot of rooms for someone to sleep in for two nights. And now with the age of all things internet, booking one of those hotel room reservations can be just a website visit away.
The Cash Register
And in blah blogger thoughts on this day. Whatever happened to those good old fashioned check out registers, ringing, pull the hand lever with those numbers that roll around in those windows on the top of them like those lottery number windows, cast iron steel cash registers of the past. It seems like the shopping, buying and selling transactions that I encounter in those merchant stores these days and times all involve those computerized and digitalized cash registers that seem to break down on a daily basis, to where I keep hearing sales clerks say things like “The computers not working”, or “The server is down”, or “You can’t purchase this item because the computer is not working”, or “Please wait til I reboot the cash register so that you can purchase that item”, or “The credit card machine is not working”, or some other phrase to where it seems like I can’t even shop anymore. And it could be the age of the rfid tag barcode, save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast globalism conspiracy thing, maybe. What’s that all about in these high tech technology all things electronic buy and sell days?
No Police State
