(S)election Day 2024

Well, no commentary will be made on the various (s)election nonsense. There was no personal participation in the process. Absolutely nothing will change since the real decisions are made by the “garden variety” Fascists. The “candidates” (read: puppets) simply read from the Fascist script.

A second voicemail was received from the Ohua Clinic to, once again, set up a follow-up appointment to discuss the high cholesterol and high blood pressure issues. The urgency, of course, is the need establish “medication for life”  insofar as the maladies are concerned. Clearly, “Big Pharma” is pushing the latter on all hapless senior citizens.

The “old folks home” in Waikiki continues to operate in incompetence (since the management transition commenced). On a somber note, another resident in the building apparently passed on a few days ago. He was somewhat obese, and apparently diabetic. His legs were completely swollen and always wrapped in bandages. And, a suicide incident occurred in the other building yesterday. The situation just gets worse and worse.

Shopping at the Target® store in the International Marketplace has become a daily experience. Of note, today an Up&Up® blood pressure monitor was begrudgingly purchased for $35 for obvious reasons. Perhaps, a continuous heart rate and EKG monitor should also purchased. Then, the mausoleum could become a mini-hospital.

Addendum: The blood test results for cholesterol: 200 mg/dL (HDL - 72 mg/dL LDL - 119 mg/dL). Blood pressure - 127/77 mm[Hg] on day of last clinic visit.

Clinic 2024 Redux

The follow-up medical examination at the Ohua Clinic in Waikiki was finally realized yesterday at 9am. The new attending physician is actually a young hottie nurse practitioner. Unfortunately, her solution to most of the old man maladies was prescription medication. “Vaccinations” were suggested as well. All were declined or deferred to a future unknown date. The only crucial aspect of the appointment was the ordered bloodwork. On a positive note, blood pressure was only slightly elevated and not in the Stage 1 category.

The results of the bloodwork were available today on the on-line patient portal of Waikiki Health Center. High cholesterol is still a problem, but it is only a little above borderline. Blood sugar (glucose) was in the normal range, even though a small English muffin was consumed for a quick breakfast. For some reason, the A1C test was not ordered. All other results were in the middle of the normal range.

There was much relief that pre-diabetes had not wielded its ugly head again. The referral to a cardiologist was also deferred. Sleep deprivation is now increasingly suspect for causing most of the old man maladies. Of course, more serious issues could be behind the heart problems.

Addendum: A voicemail was received from the Ohua Clinic requesting a follow-up visit be established to discuss the high cholesterol and high blood pressure problems. No doubt, there will be a push for prescription medication (which have major side effects). Unacceptable.

Day of Samhain 2024

The Day of Samhain is here! Well, no big deal. No FOMO. There was absolutely no interest in walking to the main promenade to view the festivities. Thousands of people will be strolling along in elaborate costumes. An equal number of spectators, locals and tourists, will add to the congestion. Then, a couple of hours later, everyone will end up at the bars and clubs. More “bread and circuses” to keep the masses docile. Ho-hum.

The “garden variety” Fascists love to keep the rank-and-file peons in a stupor. Then, the masses are totally unaware of or indifferent to the carnage and suffering inflicted upon hapless victims worldwide. Of course, the time of reckoning is coming. No peon will be spared.

The Day of Samhain is symbolic. All of those horror flicks that the masses are viewing back-to-back this evening are a prophetic glimpse of their own future. Oh, Molech, have mercy!

Miscellany: There is absolutely no interest in the upcoming presidential (s)election in empire. Thus, no commentary will be forthcoming.

Postscript: Matt Ice is on fire!

Taking a Break From BRICS

Lots of “fake news” being disseminated by the “fake news” media, the latest being allegations that DPRK troops have been deployed to the Russian Federation and assigned to the Ukraine front. And, the Linux consortium has now terminated any contributions by Russian programmers. Even more ridiculous, the “Orange Bad Man” campaign has been alleging that Iran “wants to kill us.” Truth has completely vanished. The “West” is in full collapse.

All Apple® devices in personal possession were updated on Monday … iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.1 … iPad Pro M4 with iPadOS 18.1 … Watch Series 9 with WatchOS 11.1 … and the AirPods Pro 2 with new firmware. The iPhone and iPad were also privy to the Apple® Intelligence update, which was a “pain in the ass” to install. Of course, the AI bullshit has been disabled. Is anyone really interested in AI?

The Target® store in the International Marketplace has been extremely crowded. Most of the inventory, especially food products, is depleted by the afternoon. The store itself has less floor space than the one in Ala Moana Center. Thus, the variety of products is actually fairly limited. In a way, quite a disappointment.

Addendum: Apple Intelligence uses 2.56 GB of additional storage space. So far, none of the AI features have sparked any personal interest.

Fuck It Friday - 28

Fuck It Friday (FIF)! Sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone ... FIF! FUBAR is the primary focus of this edition. Yes, this is Fuck It Friday!

After considerable effort to draft a concise e-mail to the main office at EAH Housing concerning the issues discussed in the last Notes post, the reply was beyond disappointing. The obviously obese “diversity hire” bitch simply passed responsibility back to the trollop impersonating the resident manager at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. The ho’ was supposed to respond by phone today. Nada. Fuck it!

So, the only recourse is the contingency outlined yesterday. So, details of that course of action will be forthcoming as events transpire. The $50 late fee will most likely accrue, but there will be no payment until a statement is received. The true nature of EAH Housing under the its guise of non-profit status has become blatantly clear. Details will be delineated in a future Notes post. Fuck it!

Another evening outing at the International Marketplace, again with neighbor Ignacio. He has become a solid acquaintance. A discussion about the “old folks home” and the moronic “diversity hires” dominated the time there. There was also some delving into Ignacio’s expatriation plan. As a result, the desire to obtain a passport has been resurrected. Life in empire and Hawai’i have degenerated to such a low point that expatriation is the only logical option. Fuck it!

The Zionists finally launched a missile attack on Iran, although it was much more measured than what the “garden variety” Fascists desired. The damage was limited, thanks to Iranian and Russian air defenses. Iran vows to exact a “proportional” response. Alas, the Northern hemisphere will not be converted to an ashtray quite yet. Fuck it!

The “fake news”  media have slowly been shifting to and endorsing “Orange Bad Man” in the upcoming presidential (s)election in empire? What happened? Wasn’t he detestable just a few months ago? Is his disgusting fealty to the Zionists the reason? Fuck it!

Miscellany: The skin anomaly, albeit mild, previously thought to be caused by the Watch Series 9 has reappeared upon wearing the device overnight. Sensor burn is not likely to be the cause. Fuck it!

Update: An eleventh-hour e-mail was received from the management of the “old folks home.” The “lost” check was found. So, the crisis is over … for now.

Low-Life Scum

The new Target® store in the International Marketplace in Waikiki opened on Tuesday evening, five days earlier than expected. The Grand Opening was somewhat exciting with live entertainment and free samples. So, evening outings will be fairly regular.

On a somber note, the useless ho’ (supposedly the resident manager of the “old folks home”) apparently “lost” the October rent check that was mailed in along with the application for the on-line resident portal account of EAH Housing. An e-mail was dispatched on Wednesday to the ho’ but the bitch never replied. A chance encounter with the ho’ in the late afternoon revealed that the payment was never logged. She also promised to send the code to set up the on-line portal account. There has been no word from the trollop since then. The bitch obviously thinks that she is clever by not replying to e-mail. The “paper trail” is still there.

An e-mail detailing the sordid affair was dispatched on Thursday evening to the main office of EAH Housing. Hopefully, a reply will be forthcoming with steps to be taken to alleviate the problem. If not, most likely a new check will be dispatched with an accompanying e-mail to keep an on-going “paper trail.” A “stop payment” will be sought from the local bank for the “lost” check. The main office will also be sent an e-mail.

The ho’ is obviously up to something. From what can be ascertained, she is attempting to set up eviction proceedings. There is some suspicion that previous rent checks were deposited but not logged. And, about a week ago, the door to the mausoleum was unlocked upon arrival at 5pm. Senility is not an issue. The door is locked every morning during departure because the key is always in hand. The door is locked, then the keys are placed in the gym bag.

The ho’ most likely has someone in mind to move into the mausoleum. The mausoleum is an excellent choice because it is in like-new condition. No appliance has been used except the air conditioner. The floors and the shower are spotless. Anyway, this is the quality of people in the “diversity hires” pool. Low-life scum.

The entire “West” has commenced its final descent into the abyss. The whole of society has now degenerated into a collective of zombie who function with the reptilian part of the brain. The only real hope that remains is what the “garden variety” Fascists desire … a Zionist attack on Iran with tactical nuclear weapons. The situation will rapidly escalate into a regional war in the Levant. Then, the major powers will be forced to enter the fray. The world, at least the Northern hemisphere, will literally become an ashtray. All of the scum will be vaporized. Yeah, that is the only hope for humanity.

Addendum: The “garden variety” Fascists attempted to use Ukraine as the trigger for a thermonuclear conflagration. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin outsmarted them. So, the plan fizzled out.

Miscellany: The Watch Series 9 has resumed heart rate monitoring.

Flummox 2024

Upon espying the headline at 11pm last night on the PressTV site, there was much laughter erupting within the confines of the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Yes, the entirety of the “West” treats the debacle in the Levant as some kind of sporting match between teams. Innocent people are being slaughtered by the Zionists (puppets of the “garden variety” Fascists). This is not a game.

The evidence is clearly overwhelming that the “garden variety” Fascists are at “wit’s end.” Thus, they are becoming more brazen in the prosecution of violence. Clearly, the conflagrations in Ukraine and the Levant (and, soon Taiwan) are aimed at triangulating an offensive push into Eurasia (comprised of Russia, China, and Iran).

Many “pundits” have criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for not intervening in the Levant (except for a limited operation to protect Russian assets in Syria). The conundrum is that there is a large population of dual-citizenship Russians residing in Israel. However, Russia and Iran have enacted some kind of security pact. So, true to his word, Vladimir Putin will be indirectly “assisting” Iran much in the same way that the collective “West” is “assisting” Ukraine. Putin has already vocalized his contempt for the Zionist democidal pogrom, so Iran will be the proxy to deal with the Zionists.

The usual routine ensued today. Dinner was courtesy Panda Express® on King Street. However, the return trip to Waikiki on the bus spanned one hour and 25 minutes, a ride that normally takes 15 minutes. The reason? Yet, another “Pride” parade in Waikiki. There’s a “Pride” parade every three months, it seems. Hawai’i is a “blue” (read: “woke”) state.

A portion of the parade was visible during the last leg of the trip. All parades in Hawai’i are the same, although the “Pride” Parade is just a little more flamboyant (i.e., lots of rainbow-colored people).

Otherwise, the parades are fairly “Micky Mouse” and embarrassing. There are no elaborate floats, just a few pickup trucks towing poorly decorated trailers with unknown people waving from them. Then, there are a few convertible automobiles and the ridiculous “trolley” buses all staffed with unknown people waving at the crowd. Finally, there are simple people walking and waving flags or carrying banners. With all the tourism money coming in, couldn’t the fools do better?

An encounter with Ignacio at the International Marketplace occurred last night, which resulted in a lengthy conversation during the walk back to the “old folks home.” The bullshit appears to be worsening.

Ignacio also gifted a few of his Asian-themed decor to the ol’ lavahead. He had packed everything in anticipation of moving out of the dump. He also wanted to gift his LCD tube since he is closing his cable service account at the end of the month. His current plan is to expatriate empire in a year, if not earlier.

Addendum: Scott Ritter penned an interesting piece on the Consortium News site about Iran and the “bomb.” Ritter is most qualified to speculate on the matter.

Miscellany: The iPhone 15 Pro had been in personal possession for over a year now. The warranty has officially expired. Will it be traded for the new model?

Matt Ice — Baia do Sancho Mix

6 Etz’Nab’ 1 Sap’

The package with the liquid wart remover arrived at the “old folks home” in Waikiki on Monday unscathed. The package will now be placed outside the door of the mausoleum every few days to bait the thief who stole the last package.

The heart palpitations occurred again on Tuesday afternoon at the gym. No SVT this time. Rather, the heart rate was normal except for skipped (or delayed) heartbeats every 20 seconds or so. The ordeal continued for about two hours. No EKG was logged with the Watch Series 9 since all of its sensors are still disabled.

The new prescription shades arrived at the optical dispenser in town on Wednesday, but the latter was retrieved yesterday. The Oakley® frame is actually a “kids” model. So, it is a little tighter around the oversized cranium. However, the lenses are small as opposed to the current large bulbous trend. The storage case for the shades look exactly like a small Beats® Pill. Strange, but true.

There has been increasing remorse for the foolish purchases of the Beats® Pill, the two sets of AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, the Beats® Studio Buds +, and the iPad Pro M4. A couple of the devices have already been given away as recorded in Notes. However, the remaining devices are essentially useless. If the Watch Series 9 health tracking is not reinstated, then it can be deemed useless as well. With the central bank of empire resurrecting ZIRP, every penny counts.

Upon return from the International Marketplace last night, a few of the neighbors (including Ignacio) were observed sitting outside. A long conversation ensued. The useless management was discussed as well as the friction amongst various tenants. The “old folks home” is a mess, which is a drastic understatement. Frankly, the dump is FUBAR.

On a somber note, the news that Reiner Füellmich was arrested and incarcerated on trumped-up charges has been a shocking discovery. Worst of all, he has been imprisoned for almost a year in nearly the same conditions as Julian Assange. The “garden variety” Fascists have been quite brazen in suppressing truth by force. The Global Research site has provided the latest update. Notes expresses full support for Reiner Füellmich!

Addendum: The LaCie® SSD could also be deemed useless. However, it now archives over 460 choice selections in what is known as the vast hurdy-gurdy video library (HGVL).

Miscellany: Pops’ second wife and one of the acquaintances have resurfaced at the gym. The other of the two acquaintances is still MIA.

Fuck It Friday - 27

Fuck It Friday (FIF)! Sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone ... FIF! The “old folks home” is the primary focus of this edition. Yes, this is Fuck It Friday!

A new pair of prescription shades (with Oakley® frame) is on the way. The latter was ordered yesterday through the optical dispenser in the optometry office in town. The cost was $318 total. The 20-year-old Oakley® shades are still in service, by the way. Fuck it!

A bottle of generic liquid wart remover was ordered using the over-the-counter stipend through the Medicare Advantage plan. The package is due to arrive at the “old folks home” in Waikiki next Monday. There is no intention of actually using the product. There are boxes of patch-type wart remover in stock. If the package is not immediately stolen, it will be put outside the door of the mausoleum every couple of days to bait the thief. The thief will certainly enjoy the spoils, eh? Fuck it!

The “old folks home” is really a dismal place to reside. It is even more dismal with the new management. EAH Housing is a non-profit property management firm located in Cali and Hawai’i. The outfit is “women owned,” so the low-level employees (like the useless ho’ resident manager) are “diversity” hires. This is, of the course, the far-reaching ramifications of the moronic “woke” agenda. Fuck it!

The residents of the “old folks home,” whomever are left, are very dissatisfied with the useless ho’ resident manager and EAH Housing. Most of the conversations amongst the tenants center on the latter and former. Conversations with Ignacio, for example, follow that format. Personal experience with the useless ho’ is very limited, maybe two or three occasions. Yet, there is some kind of extreme animosity on the bitch’s part. Fuck it!

There’s a lot of drama amongst and between tenants as well. The on-going saga with the psychotic “tranny” is one example. Police are dispatched to the “old folks home” regularly. So, there’s lot of bullshit going on. The useless ho’ posted a “No Smoking on the Property” sign in the elevator. Yet, the tenants are always outside chain-smoking cigarettes in defiance. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa! They hate the bitch with a passion. Fuck it!

With the current personal health problems, there is no way to consider any long-term stay at the “old folks home.” As Ignacio stated, “I don’t want to die in this place.” No argument here. A contingency plan must be devised very soon. As for the “old folks home” and the useless ho’ … Fuck it!

On a side note, brief evening outings to the International Marketplace have returned. The purpose is to get away from the toxic environment of the “old folks home.” And, that’s after returning from town at 5pm. When the Target® store opens, evening outings will be a daily occurrence. Fuck it!

Miscellany: For reference purposes, the heart palpitations malady is officially defined as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). And, the bout with “COVID” … errr, the common cold … is fizzling out.
