Paranoia: When things get this good, you wonder who’s envious enough to do something to buzz kill my daily “paradise” in Hollywood.

ENTER THE PUNK ARENA

I shot the sheriff, but I did not do the deputy. No no no no!–[JJ Cale or Bob Marley] Eric Clapton is cited as composer circa 1974.

God willing, vengeance was averted. Hopefully Afghanistan, the Giants and the Dodgers.

Sometimes by teaching what is not, we find what is. For instance: Teaching the use of “whose” to a grammar schooler. ANSWER: It’s not “‘who is’ or ‘who’s'”

Yes, gamblers must believe in miracles [or they are not in it for the thrills].

Go to church and take the elements of celebration. Bring your own wine to be blessed and had by others too.

Are the Italians jeopardizing the Roman Catholic Church?

Fictional #BILLMAHER: HELL NO.

“Your done in more ways than one.”–#SabbathDay

“That’s a new name for you–fuck face.”

The Three Constituencies

To stay home [lockdown imposition {Follow the Science} or to liberate from lockdown {Use your head}–#CaitlynJenner “Reminds me of several Hermann Hesse novels where a protagonist, like Goldmund, Narcissus or the Poet in his short story of the same name, starts out a child, goes through life, and ends as a docile child.”–John Rubens

Upstart is up today. Sometimes to go forward, we must sacrifice. Take a step back or be still and confront the demon.

“Bring the ten armies.” –Fictional Goldman Sach’s #JeffreyCurrie @goldmansachs and as @thinkorswim moderator, Ben S. might say, “Bring IT.”

SUPPLY & DEMAND

LOWER T-BILLS NEXT YEAR. Windows of Options. #CHARITY

In West Hollywood near the corner of Fountain Ave. and Fairfax is St. Ambrose Roman Catholic Church. The pastor is Dennis Marrell. He is terminally ill and would like you to visit and donate. It’s on my bus route, but do I want to take a bus? I suppose my rationalization for the archbishop is I’m saving for the faithful.

My Sunday Donation

Beware silver and/or bitcoin as tools/instruments of betrayal and/or vengeance going forward.

“Now if you can talk the millennials into the mystical nature of silver and why the price was $30.00 pieces, we may have a sustained rally in the precious metal.”

30 x 25 = $750.00

San Quentin [prison] I hate every inch of you.–Johnny Cash

Maybe $ shouldn’t be provided. In my case, I came from an insurance family so I knew the money was available for claims. Later, when I found I was a minnow among sharks and corporations, I turned to criminal defense. Plus #DonaldAAinslie helped me. Others too. Everyone, as the supreme supreme Diana Ross once said on her album jacket, “[I thank everyone, and I mean everyone.]” @OzzyOsbourne could turn country, but I doubt it.

I watched the Y2K Rollerball from the beginning and saw highlights. I’d cut out the game.

“It’s not about the game. It’s never been about the game!”–White Bench Manager from Rollerball (MGM Studios, Norman Jewison, 1975; screenplay by William Harrison, adapted in the second Rollerball,, Y2K, with Jean Reno).
