Mythusmage Pontificates

7:07PM - Poor Older Gentleman Looking for a Diversion

Me, that is. I have a new place, at the Metro, but I’m about broke and I’m facing hours of boredom. So I approach my (limited) audience and ask for a (huge) small favor; could some kind soul in the San Diego CA area donate a 19″ cable ready tv to the cause (of keeping me entertained and out of trouble)? Be much apprecited.

12:59PM - Futurism

Google is trying out self driving cars, and a major car manufacturer features one model with a backwards facing radar and an automatic brake system hooked up to it. Guess what this means?

It means sometime in the future you’ll need a special license to actually drive your own car. Indeed, people may soon stop buying or leasing for an extended period and rent for an hour or a day instead. Cabs may well become cheaper, especially where municipalities allow competition. Charter and delivery services may well expand.

Safer traffic, smoother traffic flow, that is what you’re looking forward to, and that car ad is but a forebringer.

9:54PM - The Dirty Truth

The fact there are dentists and podiatrists does not stop problems with teeth and feet from being medical problems; despite the opinions of doctors

12:04PM - A Heads UP

If you have Medcaid and dental problems, then Medicaid, America’s dentists, and America’s physicians want you dead.

Medicaid won’t pay for dental procedures. America’s dentists won’t do any dental procedure without getting paid. America’s physicians won’t touch dental problems because they’re “not medical problems” Physicians of America are bigots and cowards.

You have been warned.

2:17PM - Coming Soon

TV Books are on their way. Children’s books where the illustrations move and the characters interact with the child, textbooks featuring live lectures. Books that can automatically update. Publishing is in for big changes.

1:55PM - A Bleg

I need to raise money; first for clothes, second for deposit for an apartment in (I hope) a few months. Please donate whatever you can

1:52PM - He’s Back!

After too many adventures to recount I have returned to Mythusmage Opines. I’m currently staying at a place in El Cajon CA (1015 Leslie RD) and looking for a spot closer to my shrink. I may know later today.

Hope everybody is doing well.

5:52PM - Vaccines? Really?

Zeroing in on the cause of Autism

Seems that Autism gets its start during fetal development, with genes that cause the overproduction of neurons in the brain. This means that vaccines have nothing to do with it. The only real connection vaccines have with Autism is that vaccines are typically first administered around the age Autism is most often diagnosed. It is, in short, a coincidence.

4:00PM - A Quandary

I have met these two ladies, Yara and Kate, with both being about half my age. Now Kate, I think, is chronologically younger, but Yara is younger in many other ways. Yara tends to be a bit insecure, and I don’t want to disappoint her. I certainly don’t want to see either crushed, especially now, when both are going through some rough times. At present Yara thinks of me as a surrogate father, while Kate apparently thinks of me as an uncle.

So how do I assure both that each is my friend, and that being friends with the other does not change that? If you have any advice you can leave it in comments. I think I can work something out, but I could use some help.

8:38AM - The Four Elephants

Once there were four elephants who had to get this huge log past this enormous hill. So the first elephant hauls the log up the hill a third of the way, but then has to bring it back down.

The second elephant, who is bigger and stronger, takes the log and he tugs it and he hauls it two thirds of the way up the hill, but finally he is defeated and he has to come back down.

So the third elephant, who is the largest and strongest of them all, takes the log and he pulls it and tugs it and hauls it nearly to the top, but he too is defeated and has to come back down.

Finally the fourth elephant, the smallest and weakest of them takes the log and he pulls it past the hill.

How?

He goes around.

7:05AM - Consequences

Once the Levelers came up with an ingenious plan. To insure that athletic events always came out evenly the participants would be secured to each other. These became known as the binds that tie.

9:38AM - A Plea

Right now I’m at Halcyon House in El Cajon and I write with a plea, I could use some clothes.

• Pants: 48 by 32
• Belt: 48
• Shirts: XL
• Shoes: size 13 wide
• Socks: size 12
• Briefs: XL

Also, Halcyon could use some clothing donations, especially large size men’s clothing. So if you have anything to spare, send it in. Would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

 Update: Added a link to the Halcyon Center site, there you’ll find information as to where to send stuff.

8:03PM - Ulterior Motives

As you’ll recall from the previous post, I had cruel things to say about lawyers. Things occasioned by my latest stay in acute care at Scripps Mercy (San Diego). There your belt and shoes are taken away lest you kill yourself using your belt or shoelaces.

Why do they take your belt and shoes?

Because once a patient at Mercy promised he would not try to harm himself, then, when admit was done, what to his room and hung himself by his belt in the bathroom.

His parents were upset and blamed Mercy. They found a lawyer who would take the case, and they eventually won the case, though on the face of it they had no basis on which to sue. So in the end belts and shoelaces became banned at Scripps Mercy in San Diego in the behavioral health unit.

Because a lawyer had to have things a certain way the lives of people like myself were made harder and more stressful. Because he aided two people made irrational by grief, the burden of mental illness has been made that much harder. And so I say it is time we found a way to stop attorneys from hurting people because of their irrational need to control.

Thus Kellogg’s Compulsion and my recommendation we find a treatment for it, if possible, medication.

And there you have my ulterior motive for posting the previous post.

8:48AM - Kellogg’s Compulsion

Kellogg’s Compulsion: The irrational need to have things just so, to have things forever under control; no changes, no alteration, no variation, modification, or mutation. The victim cannot tolerate any difference in how things are.

Bureaucrats and environmentalists suffer badly from this condition, but the worst sufferers would have to be lawyers with their nigh pathological need to control and constrain the world’s natural tendency to change. If we ever found a medication for Kellogg’s Compulsion 90% of all law schools would have to close.

Yes, I have an ulterior motive for this, which I’ll tell you later.

8:22PM - They Talked Me Out of It

I’m typing this on a Dell, and on a QWERTY keyboard, which is why it’ll be short. I was talked into living, figured if they were going to spend so much time and effort on me, I might as well live.

More news when it becomes available

9:38AM - Final Post

This is my last post, once this is posted this computer is going in the trash. Why? Because I was told to throw away everything. Not in so many words, but that is what it comes down to.

Come Monday I will be on the street. Come Saturday I expect to be dead of dehydration (last drink I had was on Friday, so I should have just five days to go).

At times it was interesting. It times it was fun. But now it’s time for me to go and to cease inflicting myself on the world. I have been given to understand I just don’t deserve to live, and that I am worthless crap.

So goodbye, and remember that if you have bedbugs society considers you a nigger.

8:20PM - Deadline

I have been informed by the Horton House manager that I effectively need to be out by Monday. She’s basically told me she’s not going to meet me half way and let me save my books. She has given me to understand that I can’t trust her, and that it is best that I leave. So on Monday, March 12th 2012 I’m moving out and going on the street. Don’t know how long I’ll survive, but I don’t expect it’ll be more than a couple of months.

So this is good bye.

1:29PM - On The Rich

(Here is an opinion piece, because it is my blog.)

Recently I saw a study pointing out that the rich, those who make 200,000 dollars or so, don’t see themselves as all that rich. They insist that they have expenses that make it hard, if not impossible, to give as generously as they might. The not rich don’t see it that way and insist that the rich can be more sharing.

The problem with the rich is not that they’re greedy, it’s that they don’t understand just how good they have it. They don’t realize how well off they are.

We have four basic needs; food, clothing, shelter, and something to do. And we don’t need much to satisfy those needs. The rich can easily satisfy their needs, anything more is pure gravy.They just don’t understand that they can easily cut back on their expenses and still provide for their needs, so you get complaints from the rich about how burdened they are.

We don’t see that, because we do not have the resources the rich do. We have to do without, we have no choice, so we see those who have a choice as being greedy because they’d rather spend their resources on themselves.

If we’re to encourage more charity, more generosity from the rich we need to learn that we can do without, and how to do without. We need to learn that we don’t need the bling and that we can have a satisfying life more simply. There is a difference between requiring something, and desiring it. That FPS is a nice thing to have, but there are other ways to keep yourself occupied.

Resent the rich all you want, but understand where they are coming from. It helps make your protests more effective.
