Atrophy

Another “emergency” evening outing to the ABC Store was made to purchase a can of Guinness® Stout. The store was packed with idiotic tourists, all of them spending a fortune on high-markup crap. The “Hawai’iana” shit is the biggest rip-off, with most of that junk made in China. Imagine giving that crap as gifts, only to have the recipient(s) note the “Made in China” tag. What an embarrassment!

Well, there really wasn’t an emergency. The whole purpose of the outing was to escape the confines of the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. And a 12-ounce can of Stout is not going to produce any sort of “buzz.” The entire production was only for show.

So, the gist of the problem … old age. Yes, the time has come to admit that the body, the physique, is definitely breaking down. Of course, from a distance of ten feet or so, the degradation is not noticeable. However, the physical degeneration is occurring. The dreaded atrophy has commenced. In other words, time has run out. Game over!

And, the time has also come for all the bullshit, all the rhetoric, to cease. The miserly ways must be mummified. FOMO? Forget about it! Those days are long gone. There’s nothing out there for an old codger.

In addition, fretting about all kinds of nonsensical and minor bullshit, as showcased often in Notes, is a tiresome exercise. If the “piece of shit” causes problems, throw it out. If the hand betrays you, cut it off. If the eye betrays you, pull it out. If the mind betrays you, well …

Notes will continue to oppose the Fascists (including Zionists) to the end. When the Fascists say, “Go this way,” then go that-a-way!
