HowNotToDie2017
Introduction/Definition/etc
Rambling from scary to bizarre,
but also creative writing and
thinking outside the box,
somewhat literally..
Body
Precipitate
Like Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe,
cleaning water from hard to soft,
then having to help with the
yearly maintenance, sludge in the
bottom of one of the two mixing tanks,
the other in operation (redundency)
then literally cleaning money,
coins with borax (tm?) etc for a
white gloved ladies crowd
hotel tradition, now hunt n peck out
some bad feelings following some shit,
which may make more sense later on..
So build up to Father's Day,
missed Tinner Hill Blues,
costed money, and got the
Columbia Pike Blues Festival day wrong,
showed up thinking it was today... Nope...
No Joy.
Tuesday was a primary election in Virginia,
missed that, not sure Independents and
Greens are really allowed, and others
didn't seem to know either... bifurcate?
But rather serious problems in Alexandria
and the Capital at Congressional baseball
Charity game practice, a guy and shooting,
identified shooter dies, majority whip
and some others in critical,
and Bruce Jenner, ironically a Newtown,
Connecticut High School alumnae,
(Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting town..)
now trans Caitlin? is quoted as
"Democrats can't shoot straight"
and used the Crazy, pejorative,
The C word, some MH people go off on,
Like the N word, nerd, racial or whatever...
Waiting time for mourning but people
do all sorts of stuff to make sense of the
inexplicable, the shooter is dead,
so little to find out there, everything else
is hearsay, afaict, ianal, nor a doc,
wasn't there, journalistic detachment
/ objectivity, etc.
Let me give a benefit of the doubt,
from brief glimpses of the news trickling in
after, guy who stays at Alexandria Y,
Republicans practice there, security gets
overzealous with a guy who worked on
Bernie's campaign, became homeless,
staying in his vehicle, and called 10 times
maybe looking for help, frustrated and
Angry with the ways things are going,
personally and politically, shit happens,
He dies, others wounded critically..
Not a kid, not at schools, not likely
even terrorist, just shit happens...
Again and again...
First of all, I don't agree with violence...
Guns, near security, looks like
Capital police have major party leaders
(Majority whip?) under protection,
scene gets worse instead of better..
deescalation, not sure We
(US, The People) really
know how to do that well...
Personally, dying in the heat with
a runaround, schedule abuse, etc,
and thinking about health issues,
the crumbling safety net(s),
and would I want to go as my father did?
Heart failure, lupus, no transplant,
medical costs, etc, and doesn't
make me want to see doctors,
medical systems, have tests, etc..
But violence is not right either...
I usually take an underdog's side,
somewhat devil's advocate,
the hatred just gets worse,
without some understanding,
I don't agree with killing,
either direction, so chill ppl...
Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Just trying to process emotions,
easier when I was younger and
pretended not to have them...
Stick to logic, not conjecture, hearsay,
armchair hindsight 20/20 ...

Do you teach it to your children/communities?
