Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Building off of MIT's Lifelong Kindergarden,

some things are at the edge of knowing,

some age, some wisdom and some just plain stupidity...

 

Body

 

As we approach the Ides of March,

BewareOfTheIdesOfMarch

Mid Terms,

Spring Break,

etc in the year of 2014....

 

Wondering about some stuff, after fighting with everyone,

adding a hackerspace in Manassas, perhaps part of the local

Community College, adding a bicycle and Motorcycle program,

at the jig of making bikes, using BikeCAD, and / or it's Open Source

equivalent, adding 3D printers, making an aluminum print head,

replaceable cartridges, for say color, different print head/

filament sizes,, and a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting...

 

Like once the tubing is ordered, at a bulk rate, people making

their own bicycles, adding say a motor to the mix,

having a bike share site, near the battle field, maybe an eco friendly

electric motor, but the battle field doesn't allow bikes,

motors a little much, take off, put away in storage lockers,

maybe a shipping container like for the intro to motorcycle

MSF classes other campuses have, a summer time and spring fun faire

not unlike the White/Black House MakerFaire and/or something coming

to Reston associated with NoVA-Labs.org in a few weeks,

RobotFest2014 near BWI, and possibly even the Cherry Blossoms festival

that happens most years in DC area.

 

It would be nice to make it to spring this year, some shit is happening,

sometimes literally, why does my usual workbench have a big brown stain

on it?  Perhaps crack?  Literally Shit? or someone goes poof with the wrong

settings, a table provided by class might be scanned here and put up...

 

Getting to the point of the program ( WeldingBasics2013  )

and buying my own first tools, (baby got a grinder,

Harbour Frieght to the end of the month for $15 or so, on sale,

higher end models and  sizes, 7 inch, 8 inch,

etc, and finding the giblets *read packages of little parts

like a turkey ( and finding the right discs, wheels, bench grinder

and minoring in Welding, Majoring in Grinding,

or Pre Welding program, trying to get it right, failed bend test,

but up to the last two classes of the certificate program,

getting threats from other students and wanna bes

to try to kick me out to make space for them,

it's really rather criminal at this point,

spiked drinks, threats all over, verbal and emotional

abuse, someone trying to impersonate/ become me,

taking stuff, toys, vehicle without permission

stealing keys, joy riding, claiming to just go get gas,

when really a criminal history of actions that need to stop,

one way or another...

 

Getting an advisory board for the welding program

so that students and faculty don't have to fight the constant

funding battles, I'm having enough issues personally without

having to fight the Great White Funder ( the.great.white.funder.ss.exercise.pdf )

since what feels like the let down of asked what my hopes and dreams

were, and then not getting them, on so many fronts,

RRWG, personal, housing, JerrySpaceIdea etc.

 

And health issues, getting sick from jumping in a lake,

perhaps a brown recluse, black widow, crazy stalker

infecting people, and more insanity before even

spring fever hits for really this time, school has been nuts,

to say the least....

 

Also, reading about Lois and Bill going on motorcycle

hobo tour for a year, building up to what happened to be

Bill Wilson's progressive, potentially fatal AA cofounding with

Dr. Bob Smith, and her associates, in Lois Remembers,

though perhaps with less flowers names that I don't recall...

She/ they traveled to Florida, Canada, he was doing investigations/

research on companies, playing with numbers, getting to know

the country, meeting families, african americans in the south

in the later 1920's after World War One,

pre and/or post stock market crash, Great Depression,

and other recovery of the substance abuse (Alcohol and Other Drugs),

back when I was an honor roll student, before working on the inner red neck

and other issues of kill the old guy, take his stuff, take his identity,

try kicking him out of his rightfully rented subsidized space,

because kids today don't have the future we had thought

might happen when we were younger, economic conditions are different,

going to school locally, you see my dad thought I could do a four year at

state school (was good enough for him) OR a two year at a private college,

which the later is what I chose, trying to get  away from home,

as far away as possible, now he's gone, and I've gone through

IWannaBeATrustFundBratWhenIGrowUp

mostly on transportation and storage, not able to trim down to

a fighting / moving weight, and my health, and time coming up,

the StalkingByProxy2013  even after a 4/11 crash on the bike

the other year, only doing a certificate community college program

while I had talked to Dear Old Dad about going to Grad School,

before he died, mostly to make him feel better, his declining health

and my not knowing how to deal with it, now 50

 years old and having the unfortunate knowledge

that people with a mental health history have a 20 year less

lifespan, statistically, might occur, might not, but dad lived

to 73 or so, I'm 50 and doing the math, life expectancy

of 73 (dad's experience) - MH discount = 53 or so,

I'm at 50 now ( LukesLobster2014 ), so only a few more

years, it's been 6-8 years of this NoVAPeers PBWiki

doing post processing on the State Transformation Grant

and other Recovery issues, financial crises, Fiscal Cliff

and other limitations and it would seem the world is coming

to an end, SOCHI and other Kiev media I should probably

just not view/ read about, a WaPo app eating up

$240 in data plan, starting out with a refurbished/ used/ clearance

Nexus 7 but the Free Android Elf movie, setting up a tablet

with system updates, apps, data, and then another one

for $160 and it's about to the end of fuel/ money,

not sure I can go back to how it was before,

stuff wearing out, myself feeling the pressure of others,

so many shootings happening, (Columbine, Sully, VA Tech,

Connecticut, Navy Yard, Columbia Mall, and other unnamed

people two teenage kids in Langley High School,

why not use names, it's not the score board killing others model,

want to be famous, go out in smoke,

but I'm a depressive, too tired really to do anything

and not violent anyway, PeaceNik, even when in camo

for a cheap floral print safety gear, biking...

 

No, I'm not suicidal, yes I'm still disabled,

and NotDeadYet.

 

Not a challenge, just a statement of fact,

the lack of hope, being sick and tired,

not addicted but stressed, and various end of time

issues, until finally one sees that their life is coming to an end,

brats thinking they life forever or waiting for God,

or whatever the hip malady of life going full circle

Circle2013 prego kids on the couch,

baby gets spawned, hatched, test tube kid, worried

about birth defects and toxicity of all the chemicals involved

in a welding environment, women allowed, but what are the risks

with pathogens, contamination and other problems,

taking home the welding clothes doing laundry in a shared system,

not septic tank, but not clean either, plumbers, trades people,

day laborers, and someone washing rags that smell in the dryer...

 

Could be nothing, but a few last words before I sign off tonight/

early am wakings...

 

Life is  constantly learning

classes may end,

graducation May Happen,

gumpletion exists,

and we don't know everything, old people,

young people, most are trying to play god

in their own little sandbox,

the tryrant terrible two's and threes of the

world, but we are not god, and don't know everything,

just guessing based on further ages/ experience and

possibly education (4 year degree at a 2 year 100 level only

certificate program) with a practical exam coming up,

learn enough to bend, not able to do many things by hand,

but more Computer Science theoretical and Info Tech skill than most

but largely outdated, Knuth's Art of Programming,

Feynman's Lectures on Physics,

Infinitesimal Calculus

and other advantages I had starting out from a mentor

and others, not everyone has had, trying to stay alive

is not always easy, the alternative not looking good,

and well end of winter season and North American

pre EU spiritual traditions of rebirth

reminded by some dumb rodent (P. Phil)

on ground hog day that a few more weeks and seeing

real leaves sprouting, new growth, times are a changing,

even if it's a clock change, going back to a time of more

comfortable living, outside, inside and well, internally,

hopefully, instead of the difficult times I've been seeing,

largely due to harassment, stalking, stresses related to learning,

age chasisms of those with and without/ class struggle,

hatred, and other problems, that some have a different view

on, than of course, I do...

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Ironically, playing with 2/22 numbers 3x 222 = 666

the old devil worshiping run the record backwards time,

besides the 22 caliber, self checkout time reminder,

not my or anyone else's real time yet,

going into bonus rounds of life,

could have been Done so long ago, but still alive,

and complaining about it, as I should...
