The Hollywood Entertainment District is running so quickly in the cold, pedestrians move quickly to avoid fast cars.  Twitter curbs are in the offing did you hear?

The #TwitterEffect is an expression I coined to demonstrate “step out and touch someone.”  Fans at ball games are more apt to “touch” sports figures and some celebrities more now due to having contacted or received a tweet from them.

The researchers have probably found this out by now.  The reverse is to curtail access and availability of twitter users.  This can be done by blocking and suspending accounts.

I remember in law school I did poorly on my first semester exams, many of us did.  The Property professor told us, “don’t measure your self-worth by your exam scores.”  I got a B in his class, but don’t remember his name.  He was a visiting professor from Duke University School of Law. I remember the ones who gave me D’s.

Likewise, when your twitter account is curtailed, or your free speech chilled, just remember this, twitter does not place limits on you that you do not place on yourself.  Not yet anyway [think Brave New World].

There are other ways to communicate, even in modern society, e.g. church, synagogue, mosque, “run Forrest run!” in the forest or park, telephone, hand-written letter and a stamp, pray to your Father.

From Word to Well-Being or Lack thereof

In gentle adult arms as an infant, on a teeter-totter as a toddler, weightless at the apex of a swing at Olympia Elementary School in Westlake, Daly City during my wonderful kindergarten year.  Then John F. Kennedy died.

We still rode in my Uncle Barney’s convertible down some steep San Francisco streets like Bullit’s Steve McQueen and Michael Douglas and Karl Malden did.

My Grandma Tici would say to her son, “Go fast now Barney!” We flew off a plateau and I felt the sex.  Then it was jumping off a locomotive at Playland at the Beach. That light feeling in the balls. I would feel something sometimes at the end of a piss before bed, but nothing like this cum feeling.

Religious would say a precursor  or “glimpse” of what might come: #Orgasm.  As teens I duplicated Barney’s antics about a dozen times.  My friend tried it and wrecked his parents’ Karman Ghia.

Then there’s the doji…

I can’t be sure, but there’s a waltz playing on KUSC right now, Johann Strauss II’s Vienna Blood. I could swear that work was part of the repertoire at the merry-go-round next to the locomotive at Playland.

@NM99791307 The first Noel the angels did sing…was to certain poor shepherds and shepherdesses [to watch] for more…then Johnny Cash sang about the night, about the Revelation of St. John.

Same as gunmen, same as fishermen.

“Stand in line.”
