When your computer tanks, so does a part of your life. These days, the digital experience is a great part of our lives.

Right?

If you are reading this then that is true and you know what I mean about a computer tanking. Hell, even tanks that use computers tank these days.

The digital format relies on numbers, two to be exact, and one of them isn't really a number. Is zero a number? I guess it must be a digit or it could not participate in digital math.

These days we all need computers to do things we never did with computers. It is getting difficult to recall anything we did that took legwork and sweat because now we do a lot of that with computers. I know, you know all this, it is nothing new and to mention it in a public blog is stupid and childish.

So what do you want instead? I know.

Sex.

Ok, the other day I was huddling between two ladies on a train and one of them touched my pants with her hand. That wouldn't be so unusual except she was wearing my pants at the time.

Yes, you like that better. Ok, I will do more of it; I will begin to devote my "Talk" blog to sex and only sex. I will weave the adventures of sexual encounters --real, not virtual.

So let me go now and compile the things you really want to read. I know you, I know what you want and I can give it to you big time.

Check in soon.

So I read this:

"The Theory of Relativity, proposed by the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) in the early part of the 20th century, is one of the most significant scientific advances of our time. Although the concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, his major contribution was the recognition that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and an absolute physical boundary for motion. This does not have a major impact on a person's day to day life since we travel at speeds much slower than light speed. For objects traveling near light speed, however, the theory of relativity states that objects will move slower and shorten in length from the point of view of an observer on Earth. Einstein also derived the famous equation, E = mc2, which reveals the equivalence of mass and energy. When Einstein applied his theory to gravitational fields, he derived the "curved space-time continuum" which depicts the dimensions of space and time as a two-dimensional surface where massive objects create valleys and dips in the surface. This aspect of relativity explained the phenomena of light bending around the sun, predicted black holes as well as the background radiation left from the Big Bang. For his work on relativity, the photoelectric effect and blackbody radiation, Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921."

And I wondered why the writer did not break one paragraph? What was that all about?

"I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down" is one of the most famous quotes of all time, albeit hostile and counterproductive.

Still, no true scholar is without it in a major speech dealing with the atmosphere of today's modern culture.

This is because of all the quotes one can use to describe a embattled state of mind, only this one devours the meaning of threat and eventually delivers a measure of fear that only a growl can produce.

If you have, as I have, sat in a hall where this quote was aptly used in the context of a resounding issue-based speech, then you know that nothing else can make you shutter, no less shrink and maybe even sizzle, with the seriousness of a cougar poised to attack.

Taking the quote apart is simple. Academia has chopped it into metaphors and allegories and allaphors and metagories, as well as siting its influence on world leaders such as Gandhi, Churchill, Eisenhower, Wilson, Grant and Franco. But no one has dared to credit the quote to any one mind, brilliant or not, for fear of sounding presumptive.

And so it is that during the current world-affairs turmoil we should remember that we too as common folk can rise to the strength of such words; that we can establish our own courage and ability to stand tall by rendering all challenges we face by simply saying:

"I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down."

However did the Bible miss that one?

Yes, I took another hiatus from this post but it was necessary as well as awkward and sometimes we have to do things that are both.

Just what do you mean, though, when you write to me about being abrasive? Do you mean annoying or vexatious? Do you even know what those words mean, no less what you mean?

What do you mean by what do I mean? I survey the area of my consciousness regularly and I don't see where you contribute to my better welfare or well being or being well or what? You just go ahead and write your own blog and tell me what you think about this and that and most of what you think about anything wastes my time, buddy boy.

Then you get mad at me beause I write what I am thinking and if that doesn't fit with your namby pamby ideas about communication you get angry. But you don't stop to think I may be right, because I know where to put commas.

I like you a lot but you don't like me, no you don't and if you have gotten this far reading this blog then you are about to stop.

STOP.

Still here? Why?

Go write a blog and then come back and read this and answer these three questions:

1. Do I own god?
2. What would my name be if it ended in the letter Z?
3. Can you name one person who gives a rat's ass what you are thinking about anything?

Then write a personal note to me and ask me anything.

Those of you who are thinking that you have a grasp on the truth are fooling yourselves and if you are passing that so-called knowledge onto others you are fooling them. And all this fooling isn't going to get no one anywhere fast.

And that is the problem: everyone wants to get somewhere fast, thinking that truth gets them there pronto.

So the truth is that the truth you think you have and may be passing is not the truth at all. The truth is that you are wrong about your truth.

I know you are saying, "Hey buddy, how dare you tell me I don't know the truth and not to pass it on!" If you aren't saying it, you are thinking it.

Now you don't feel comfortable because someone said you don't know what you think you know to be the truth and that proves it right there because if you knew The Truth --whatever that is-- you wouldn't be so mad at me for telling you that you don't know any truth, that is, that the truth you think is truth is not the truth and the that the truth is you don't know The Truth.

Even using capital letters and saying there is THE TRUTH and that anyone knows it is, in itself, a lie. And a lie can't be the truth or THE TRUTH or ThE TrUtH or any other way you can put it in print.

If there is a truth it probably cannot be written and it is so powerful that it can not be had, gotten, achieved or whatever it is one would have to do to know it.

Even that is a load of crap, really.

So, the truth of the matter is this: whatever you believe to be the truth isn't the truth and if you must know the truth then you are in trouble.

Needing the truth is nothing but trouble.

So stay out of trouble. Don't need the truth, search for the truth and certainly don't let anyone say they are giving you the truth because those guys and gals are liars.

Now, time for another donut.
