*[16:25 UTC-4]*[On MT-Today's Playlist]..dang..it's been seven days since my last post & in my defense..I have no defense..very bad Trollie..no biscuit..the weather has been quite calm & cooler of late & with all changes of the seasons my damaged joints have been protesting quite vigorously over the last few days & as quite often happens my G I tract has joined in the "fun & I've been experiencing some minor but irritating issues there as well..It's "Columbus Day" here in the USA..a federal holiday..but over the last several years Columbus' reputation have fallen in to a state of disrepute that it is passing by without hardly a notice..in the past many stores would hold "Columbus Day Sales" & I've seen nor heard of one in this area..my only really memory of Colum-bus Day (a Monday holiday)..several years ago..the day before driving to church that Sunday morning thru about 15" of new fallen snow..Winter comes early some years..nothing of particular import has occurred over the intervening week since my last posting..the usual shopping..online game play & trying to "ride herd" on my FB groups.."The Farthest Side" where I'm a mod has been quiet.."May the Fat Side be with you" has been any & everything but quiet..but over the last day or two has settled down a little..disagreements have at times degraded into very pointed personal attacks & that cannot be tolerated..ergo..some members are now former members..it seems that ye olde concept of agreeing to disagree is no longer in vogue...../.....one sad thing..the passing of an old friend..my wallet..now I frankly don't remember when I bought it..but based on the style of it it certainly wasn't in this century..but it had seen it's better days a couple of years ago..but when things started dropping out of it I decided to get a new one..decided to look at T J Maxx..they didn't have anything I liked but did find a bottle of artichokes..a tin of herring in mustard sauce & a tin of hot pepper flakes..& then of to Dollar General..found Mossy Oak Tri-fold wallet & a couple of apple pocket pies..a typical shopping trip for me..go out to find a specific item & end up with a sling bag full of things I didn't know I needed until I saw them in the store(s) for sale..well at least this time I did end up with what I had originally go out to get..hasn't always happen that way..tomorrow will be my 886 month birth day..well as of 08:00 AM..what a minute since we are currently still on "Daylight Savings Time" here in the USA & the clocks are set ahead an hour..better wait until 09:00 to celebrate..../....little is left of what I'd like to do before I take my rest..but still a few things remain..ergo.."nite all"....[17:11 UTC-4]..../....

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
