Thanks for the link Cecil. I have never read Kafka. But I know more about him now.

Speaking of cool links I found another movie site where you can watch full length movies.

http://tesla.liketelevision.com/

I am watching A Boy and His Dog, I listened to novel as an audio book a long time ago and it was great. The movie is pretty close to it I think. Well so far. I hope they did not screw up the ending. It was very satisfyingly weird. The last line in the novel is "I know what love is, I love my dog"

How is your video working?

The LikeTelevision™ Movie channel proudly presents - A boy and his Dog - featuring Don Johnson as Vic (a.k.a. Albert), Susanne Benton, and Jason Robards. The movie is based on a Harlan Ellison novel and is set in 2024 AD after WWIV - which lasted 5 days..

You can watch it full screen by clicking on the little square thingy next to the volume control

I can't delete my post
what am i gonna do?

[stilltrucking]

I think a swine would be a fine
symbol for the Republican party

They been holding up Obama's pick for Secretary of Health for months now.

Speaking of health and swines:
Two kids about a mile from here came down with it last week. Military dependents from Randolph.

off on a another tangent:

Homeboy treated some of the returning POW's when he was a flight surgeon at Randolph after the war. Their stories about how they survived inspired him to become a psychiatrist. Become a student of the brain. Which shocked the hell out of me at the time. He did not believe in psychiatry for a long time. He was a raise yourself by your bootstraps kind of guy.

and on a personal note:
Back in 1962 after Crazy Mike's death I could not get to sleep at night without visualizing a shot gun tucked up under my chin with my finger on the trigger. I had that image in my mind night after night. I told him I wanted to see a psychiatrist. He tried to discourage me at first but then he reccomended a friend. It helped to talk about it. But what really saved my ass was a Hindu boss I had at the time. He was taking a new job as director of research for a large chemical company in Adrian Michigan. He asked me to come along with him to the new job. Moving away from everyone and every thing I knew was a respite from those suicidal thoughts.

I hardly ever think about suicide anymore.
Just on those rare occasions when I think about sex. :


I hope you and Suzy Q can reconcile your differences.

I like this tag line from Perdida's profile

The path to true love isn't always straight.

I been wondering about what I know, what do I really know?

That I am because I think? What do I think, why do I think it?

The earth is shrouded in man made electromagnetic fields, radio waves, television, cell phones the internet on and on. It is as if I have an extro-biological womb that massages my brain with information day and night. I am one step away from walking around with a aluminum foil beanie on my head.

morron this later

please distinguish homeboy from crazy mike? they don't say "hay?" in texas
too polite
plains manners
youse lucky guys in south texas on the plains
in springtime

did you ever hear of the adrian monster?

[stilltrucking]

My cloth covered aluminum foil beanie,


Homeboy is my oldest brother
Crazy Mike was our father.

Never heard of the Adrian monster.

I was taking flying lessons in Adrian, all set to take my first solo when I flunked the FAA physical because of my draft status. Flunked my draft status because I was called up in 1963 while I was seeing that shrink. I was given a four f by the selective service. Did not bother me until the Gulf of Tonkin when I tried to go and do my patriotic chore. I wrote a letter to the draft board and asked them to reclassify me 1A cause I was okay now. They gave me a 1Y, meaning if the Russians ever invaded Baltimroe they would call me up.

mercy
longevity is good for slow learners
you can tell your homebro so fer me

my big little brother up on the north texas prarie
just where it staerts
useless
east of fort worthless


so, your older homebro
at first didn't want you to see a psychiatrist?
and then he was one!
wow, that's kool!
and thhen you met a hindu fellow
a real gentleman
who shared with you some of his spiritual side
holy cow

ya'll could post them on the mystical board, brohomey
that would make a nice turban, matey

so because you had seen a shrink
for help after your father's suicide,
(the logical and good thing to do)
the draft board classified you 4F
and you petitioned it up too 1Y

you could have asked for a 1AO medic
too bad the vietnam war wasn't worth fighting for

Father's suicide?

You reading something into this that ain't there. Nowhere have I said anything about my father committing suicide!

Whimsical Deb is right about me, i am shit writer. Or something like that.

Oedipus wrecks got nothing on me
I killed my mother and fucked my father.

No jimbo my father was not a suicide
it is a tragic story about dark family secretes
Alamo Rose had to kill him.
The worst part well
it is better now
for years the guilt and anger of my sister towards alamo rose, she thought her mother did not do anything to stop it. But the truth is the minute she found out about it she put him out of the house. A death sentence for a man born in the 19th century who could not take care of himself without a women to do for him.

The guy from Hindu land Lucknow double phd in chemistry and organo metalic chemisty one phd from U of Lucknow the other of Edinburgh Scotland

He used to send me to the company cafeteria to buy him hamburgers. I guess he was nervous about going to a small town and not knowing anyone. And I need the transference. I was his mad lab technician, Germanium running around my cranium.

Worked out good.
I been close to suicide by matricide
Are you J.W the second
the thrid or a junior?

Husbands and wives
it beats me jimbo
jitterbug on his second try now these past thirty four years they been together him and his wife, I never heard a cross word between them. Cecil doubts that says all couples got to fight once in awhile. BUt I lived with them for a couple years on and off and lived with them in the same small town. Never heard an angry word between them.

thirty four years now.

I have never read Kafka.

"metamorphosis" - one of the more bizarre stories i've ever read, but i was fascinated throughout the short read. the only story i've read by Franz.

http://books.google.com/books?id=2xAum1 ... t&resnum=4

[stilltrucking]

I read it too, so long ago. Funny that.
How memory works, when I said I had never read Kafka I kind of remembered that story about the giant cockroach. I was in my thirties living at home again with my mother. I felt like a cockroach too. Like I did not want to remember that story.

I suppose that is repression. The Mystic Writing Tablet by Freud on memory. Just stumbled on that the other day.

Finally got to finish watching A Boy And His Dog, the ending was sort of faithfull to the book but not as subtle.

Makes me wonder how weird I am to like a movie that bizarre. They had laguhter at the end of the movie which really was a cheap shot. Nothing funny about the ending for me. Just really really fascinated by the ending in the book.

Well been a long good day. I got a chance to make ten bucks tomorrow maybe.

Going to bed

buenos noches

One more thing:
Would you mind if I edited your link to the metamorphis so it looks like this.

The Metamorphosis

that way the horizontal scroll won't be out of wack.

[mtmynd]

sure, truck, go ahead an edit that part. i don't know any better. i should, eh?

[stilltrucking]

sometimes it makes it neater.

to use
the title of the link here

when posting one of those url's that goes on forever like this one

http://books.google.com/books?id=ma3_HC ... =3&rview=1

if you use the url tags it becomes this

My First Two Thousand years

Up to you cecil, I can't say you should just that it is easier on the eyes. IMHO. It eliminates the horizontal scroll bar. Just a matter a of style maybe.


_______________________________________________

You know the more I think about it the less I like how they handled the ending in that movie. Vic and his dog walking away making jokes about the fact that he killed his girlfriend to have meat to feed his dog.

The dog is wounded and dying of starvation to weak to hunt.
THe girl is haranguing him to leave the dog, tells him "you said you love me but you don't know what love is."

Then the next scene in the book the dog is eating and Vic says, "I know what love is. I love my dog" but he is not eating just the dog.
