Troll54 where are you ?: June 2008

Monday, June 30, 2008

I’m way past tired tonight…if someone out there can given me a definition or a word that describes “way past tired”…other them the obvious…then my claps and high fives are upon you…

The fact that sleep should be upon me is obvious…on the other hand my min d…or what’s left of it at 60+ years has not as yet shut down …nor is it likely to do such any time soon…there are times that I really hate my intellect…

Been watching the “Next Food Network Star” on FNC…frankly…they (that is FNC) shot a blank this time…none of what’s left…or none that started…no star…on the other hand…new show on Sunday morning with Ann B…”Secrets of a Restaurant Chef”…what a rush…she was an assistant to MB on many shows of “Iron Chef America”…very animated…and I learned a trick I didn’t know…and a technique as well…+

On one hand it really doesn’t matter who I vote for in the upcoming presidential elections…because of the electoral college my state casts all it’s votes for the majority…and because the majority here is Dem…and most of them would vote for their candidate if Slappy The Duck was running it makes no sense…but to be fair the Repub states are just as bad…it’s time we got rid of the college and went to popular vote…Al Gore I think would agree…

Been awhile since I’ve posted…many things have conspired against me…so what’s new…life is what life is and anyone who thinks it’s easy and smooth is an idiot…idiot was my dad’s favorite word to deal with anyone one who didn’t come up to his standard…heard it so often that it lost it’s effect…but another story that will not be told here…at least not this time…

The presidential campaign is what it is. As usual 2 bad choices. Neither candidate is whom I would choose to put in that role. So am I surprised…think again. I have voted for president 9 times this will be the 10^th…never have I made a positive vote…I have never voted for a candidate…have always voted against the other guy…sad but true…but this one time …holds promise…not that I agree with Obama…but maybe he can shake things up…but if he choice for VP is the obvious…Ms. C forget about it…

The reports of my demise are false. Just an introspective period. Or rather maybe a question mark.

About This Blog

at one time i had this blog, but decided to spin off a links blog and a poetry blog years ago ( you can find links below).........but what's left is a hodge podge of what doesn't fit in the other two....sometimes silly, sometime mundane, some times serious....so in the words of an old TV series:

"You have entered the Twilight Zone".

[Please Note: only the poetry blog still exist..so this has become a bit more of a catch all then before..and except for just references to it my online gaming is on a separate blog..links are below....

Origins

When I started blogging I needed a title for the blog, and got to thinking about an old TV sitcom "Car 54 where are you", and since I was 54 at the time, and my "good" friend BP had hung me with the nick troll...."Troll54 where are you?" was born.....he once had commented that I was the most even temper and least bigoted person he had ever met........by that he meant, I was always in a bad mood and hated everybody.......therefore I was a troll..........after beating the carp out of him, i decided that he was probably right, the beat-down was verbal, not physical, dang the kid was 8" taller then me, I may be ornery but I ain't stupid

About the same time as the blog began, I found a game called "Blogshares" ....was in beta at the time....and now rests where internet games go when they die.......I was there for the beta......and there for its' passing.......but having looked around and viewing the players' forum.......I decide I need a persona....and to avoid the stigma of "troll", out of my warped mind the "Madtrollie" was born.....complete with a bridge and an extreme hatred of noobs.......well that developed over time.....but privately.....always sent gifts.....advice.......and at times involved them in my nefarious schemes......except as the writer of this warped blog...the Madtrollie has become more or less benign in his old age.......but beware when least expected.......

Avatars

For many years online I lived behind avatars when ever a picture was asked for, first one was a budgie on a skateboard, then there was the cat with a yamaka, then it was the parrot with a yamaka and a tallith......you can still see him wandering around this blog looking for matzah.........whether I finally came to the conclusion that at least I should show my true-self, or I lost an argument with that orthodox parrot, or the simple fact that this 70+year old man finally figured out how to use the camera that is embedded in my desktop... but the bottom line is I've decided not to hid behind avatars any more...just a hoodie and a pair of shades or now a snap brim hat, shades and my neck pillow
