National Day of Ignoring (implied)

I'd even be happy to see a Kennedy Landslide but I am definitely voting for Biden!

By now all of you have most likely forgotten me and gosh golly you have so much else to reed, most of it (maybe 99% of it) about someone I disaffectionally call Shitler. I don’t need to describe this individual or his cronies.

We all need a National Day of Ignoring he who shall remain nameless. I don’t want to hear his voice, see his picture, read about his latest indictment or antic or anything. I am done with this Macrophage occupying every living moment of my awake life and I resent the intrusion when I am scrolling through TikTok hoping to see more BattleBots on the Floor (“Let the Battle Begin….”) or the latest from the JWST or yet more fun with Particle Clara at CERN.

One last mention about the Macrophage. A National Day of Ignoring him will drive him over the edge. I propose doing this on Tuesday after the verdict is read, and for every day thereafter until at least after Biden gets re-elected. I’m willing to put up with a Kennedy Administration which would give us needed laughs as it would be just like the brilliant TV Series called Brain Dead. Instead of Space Ants it could be Space Worms. Tony Shalhoub and the rest of the cast is superb and the storyline is excellent.

I just haven’t had any writing or blogging energy. About the only Social Media activity for me has been reposting a few clever videos in my TikTok page and I am getting quite the little following of 53 followers. I am (at) rajneesheewithoutborders and go by the name Burl Slabs. I suspect I would repeat myself here if I describe the etymologies so I won’t. I don’t want to encourage anyone to ignore me here, assuming you aren’t already.

So what have I been doing? January was tough. So was the remainder of Winter and beginnings of Spring. Focusing on getting flutes out the door and lowering my stress levels. Breaking in anew PCP. Suddenly there is all this concern about my fatty liver and I’ll know if the recent bloodwork shows if I am at Stage 4 Liver Disease (Cirrhosis) versus Fatty Liver with Inflammation (Stage 2) by Wednesday, unless they decide I need a biopsy. The diffuse fat deposits were seen last July when I got CT scanned for a kidney stone. Regarding the liver they said they saw nothing significant. There may be some autoimmune hepatitis going on as well. This Nancy I have been talking about me going on the new craze Ozempic, especially since the science on this is very well done. The long term side effects are not known but without it I may simply not have a long term. I am already knocking at the expiration date (am actually way past) of men in mt genetic lineage.

So TicTok listens to everything one says via your cell phone speaker even when the phone is turned off and physically removed from you with several kilometers of distance (it simply uses the Tell My Phone Everything I Say and Think app hacked onto every other iPhone) as well at the BillGates microchips that get updated to the newest version (We are currently at Vista) every time you go get your Covid Boyster (they are now making these test kits from homeless molluscs) and suddenly 99% of your TikTok Algorithm in my case is nothing but peoples’ experiences with Ozempic and Wegovy and other drugs of the same kind (good marketing strategy. Aspirin was once marketed as a miracle cure all called Pirin in The Birdcage.

The side effects that people are describing are gnarly. Besides the nausea and constipation which is hardly notices since we are in that state anyway until the National Day of Ignoring goes into effect (See? Everything is connected via the 5G Network. Soon that Ignoring topic will be 99% of your TikTok Algorthms - as well as the rare thyroid tumors and Pancreatitis (All of which can be cured with a few Pirins and texting me in the morning) these other side effects that people are reporting come on and some of these are expensive and not covered by insurance unfortunately. Actually my Humana supplement has a $250 annual debit card to help offset this. So what are these side effects?

(If I was on TikTok like I just was getting rid of excessive verbiage and practicing speaking into a void as a bodily function (I am doing that here actually) and I had any thoughts that I was an authority of medical nonsense I would then talk about myself for the next 15 minutes before I say what these gnarly side effects. You can speed it up or simply slide past that stuff)

So the Most Intense side effect that could cost you thousands that people are discussing is simply this. None of your clothes will fit ever again. Not even underwear, work clothes, dress up cloths. You might have to trim your ties and you can certainly cut the belts and add some holes with a who punch but most of your clothes will simply become rubbsish. For me I will buy a bunch of shirts of the same type so I look like I never change my clothes at all. Suddenly none of that will fit unless I get well into several bits of layering unless I get really good at clothing modifications and alterations on shirts with holes and stains from sardines and linseed oil in the flute shop. Oh the Humanity.

That is the only side effect that seemed common. There are strategies to deal with the real ones. I am looking forward to trying it assuming my three docs think its a good idea.

Enough verbiage here for now. You can figure out where to watch Brain Dead online yourself. When you get done, watch Alpha House which was Gary Trudeau’s brainchild. Wanda Sykes was brilliant in that one. I’ll let you look up the preview.

Brain Dead writers were challenged with the fact that as they created their narratives, the 2016 Election Silly Season was in full gear and it was a tossup as to what was the less believable scenario: the one with Space ants from that Russian Meteor Crash that was caught on webcams everywhere, or the politicians we ended up with until the Insurrection. At the end of the season the producers gave up and didn’t produce a season two of Brain Dead. Hopefully the same thing will happen and we won’t end up with a Season Two consisting of Christian Nationalism.

We will ALL be Brain Dead if that happens!

Have a great Holiday Weekend everyone and remember someone on Monday. Perhaps all the folks we lost in Season One…

As usual, I am posting this unedited. I’ll clean up the edits later and remove anything that my editors find questionable. Enjoy!
