Notes - you got that / for clarity / you are free / stirred not shaken

         1005 hours. I just read a posting from last August where I retook the Belief-o-Matic quiz and you called yourself an imaginary outsider. That is indeed what you are. I think there were no aliens, no angels so I made you up instead so that I might gain a perspective of the world I would not have had otherwise. If aliens and angels were wishful thinking then I might as well create an imaginary outsider, who was, to me, useful thinking, so I did.

         No argument from me, boy. – Amorella

         You don’t mind being an ‘imaginary outsider’?

         Why should I? Do you mind being completely human? – Amorella

         You bring up a completely unexpected question. I will have to think on this as ‘arrogance’ rings up no matter what my response is.

         That’s not all that rings up, boy. You got that? Post. – Amorella


         1227 hours. Had a light nap and took a bath. Here is my response, Amorella. I am humbled being human. Before being born I assume I was nothing. After dying, one assumption is I’ll be back to nothing. In light of this, and in context, I am humbled being human. – rho

         Better than I expected, orndorff. Count your blessings. – Amorella

         I’m posting this for clarity.

         Be my guest, boy. - Amorella


         1747 hours. We had lunch at Panera/Chipotle, then to Pine Hill Lakes Park for an hour or so – Carol continued her book and I read last week’s Time and the June issue of Discover as well as more on the novel Carol gave me a couple of weeks ago, a stop at the newly reconstructed from the ground up McD’s by Kings Island (cookies and drinks), Kroger’s on King’s Mill Road, then home.

         You are presently downloading Wikipedia Offline to your iPad.

         Yes. Another ten dollars, well, eleven, as a dollar is for the download. I know it is an extravagance, but not to have all that knowledge, especially history, science and philosophy on both the MacAir and iPad seems almost a sin. Twenty-two bucks total, about the price of two novels at Barnes and Noble or Amazon. If I am stuck someplace and bored I can always read articles from Wikipedia. Well worth it to me.

         You consider it a ‘sin’ not to have that Wikipedia material at your disposal at all times?

         I would consider it a regrettable omission – Wikipedia text is not a moral judgment, it is one of personal character.

         Thus, you felt a need to buy the Wikipedia package for iPad?

         No. It is a want, Amorella, not a need. I felt a need to have Wikipedia Offline on the MacAir.

         Whenever an event, no matter how seemingly slight, such as this download, you feel the need to be settled that your decision is from the right place for the right reason. – Amorella

         It is better for me this way. I appreciate the questioning, Amorella. I like to know where I stand and why.

         The national news is coming up in a bit. Post. – Amorella

         I am freer knowing where I stand and why.

         Yes, you are and it is one of the reasons I am here, boy. You are free where it counts most. - Amorella


         2206 hours. I finished my forty minutes of aerobics a couple of minutes ago. Earlier we spent time watching the enjoyable DVRed productions of “GCB” and “Harry’s Law” from last night. We still have Masterpiece Theatre to watch and two more are on tonight, “Bones” and “Castle” – Carol watches “Smash” also. All those thirty-five some years of very little TV during the week; it is fun entertainment for us. Tomorrow, “NCIS”, “NCIS-LA” and “Unforgettable”.

         You have nothing to lose and nothing to gain mentioning these minor events in everyday life in present day Ohio. This is your freedom in a nutshell – enjoyment. This is part of the basic human condition in this blog and your books, dude. HeavenOrHellBothOrNeither, it is always up to the individual and herorhis sense of consciousness and herorhis sense of heartansoulanmind in human balance. – Amorella

         What about one’s conscience, Amorella, not consciousness?

         Consciousness comes first in my book, orndorff. Not everyone has a conscience of heartansoulanmind. Consciousness of life – that’s a lesser matter altogether. All living entities have a consciousness of sorts, a consciousness to survive and to procreate. Bacteria, a leaf of grass, an ant, a kangaroo, a cat and a dog and a human being all have consciousness to grow when it is possible to grow and to survive as long as one can when it is impossible to grow. Having a conscience and a conscious balance of heartansoulanmind is human, this is what humanity means in the Merlyn’s Mind series and blog. This is what it means in my book, boy. Post. – Amorella

         You sometimes stir me when I least expect it, Amorella

         Stirred, not shaken, boy. Stirred is acceptable. Post. - Amorella
