On a cold winter's day back in 1957, the kittyman was born.
And, as it so happened, one very young Elvis Presley also was born unto the world.
RCA records released what they thought was gonna be a one hit wonder...........Hound Dog.
I wish I could pull out of my memory banks what the flip side was, because it was better than the single that was released. It might have been [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViMF510wqWA]Actually I believe it was.

When it hit the air back in '57, and furthered by the fact that television had just become a reality, the stage was set.
And Elvis would be the one to take center stage.

My mother told me, years later, that the nurses at Theda Clark called me Elvis baby,
Because I was born with this big shock of long black hair......................
No, I did not make that up.

My father and mother met one day in '56 and a few months later.....guess who popped up?
Yup, me. Much to many of your chagrin.
But, no going back now, eh?
60 years later..............who would have ever thought that I could be sitting here talking to you via a freaking internet connection ?
It was impossible to conceive back then.....................and actually still is a bit amazing., to me at least.

I guess I should get some sleep and start to thing about dealing with MY Alice tomorrow.
Life is getting short.
Not too many hours to burn now.
I must kiss her again before I die./
If the Lord and she allows me.

Because, friends, the Lord above does not hand out second chances like candy.
And I have been given far more than my share of second chances in this life.
Every possible excuse has been made and every possible corner cut in my behalf.

Not every man gets the breaks I have had. Damned few have.
And still I can sit here and cuss and curse and threaten the earth with unbelievable things.
And wake up in the morning and think that everything is still OK.

Which it is for ME. But, what I forget is the countless others who may NOT be allright because of the fear I may have instilled in them.
And some of those things I say are quite true. But some are just fear bearing it's own seeds/

Life has a way of bearing it's own fruits.
And mine has.
'Till death do us part, I belong to Lori.+
Not any word on any page in any forum will ever change that.
We are bonded as one for life.
I may fail her at times, but I will never leave her life.
We are a finite thing.

And it may be hard for some to understand that level of commitment.
It is actually very easy if you love somebody that much.
When you do, eternity seems like such a short time to be with them.
It just is not long enough.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

And who made that left turn so many years ago?
I did. Joan did.
We both turned. The problem was, we turned in opposite directions.
And never looked back. Which is a true shame. Because if we had, I would not be talking to you hear and now.
I would probably be looking after a teenage gurl trying to be what her mother was.
Hell bent on rebellion. And succeeding at it.
I did look back. But Joan did not. She had far more on her plate that a simple boy from Wisconsin did.

And years later, another singer came out with the words.
Love, your Baby Girl. Perfect. The exact words I tried to say so long ago.
I am my mother's 60yo baby boy.

I love her, I shall always love her, and I shall die loving her.
You never forget your first love.
Do not ever expect me to.
That is what TRUE love IS.
You cannot take it, corrupt it, or defile it.
And Joan may never accept it.
I can live with that, have for so long now.

I have some news for you however.
Lori and I meet in the tomorrow and life just works.

And this is significant,
Which Joan am I talking about?
Baez or Jett? Both were significant figures in my early life./
God, wow.
I am not EVEN ready to start sorting those issues.
Probably not ever.
She and
Ain't gonna happen.

Meow.

Just so yah know..................
Life is really good here.
Lori and I have talked it out.
We are fine. We are on the same page now.
Two healthy 15yo cats love me to death till us part as well.
Hopefully not too soon.
Yes, the news of Celt's passing hurt me, as I know it did you.
But, given the large community that we are, it was bound to happen that one of us would travel onward.
I am going on 60, and Lord knows that many of us do not make it even THAT far.
The Lord chose me, and gifted me with the ability to be able to speak with you today to confirm His love for me.

We have this thing, me and the Lord. I search for aliens, and he understands why I do so.
He knows that it has nothing to do with me questioning his existence.
I believe in him completely and without doubt that he exists.
Yet, he allows me to wonder what else and where else he has done things.
My universe is not the only one in existence.
If God created THIS heaven and earth, what other wonders may he have elsewhere?
There could be hundreds of mirrors of earth out there, you see.
Time and space are more vast than any of us realizes just yet.
A vacuum is infinite. It has no barriers.
It consumes all it contacts.

And I also, consume all that I contact here, because each and every one of you who read my words wonder what the next one shall bring.
Hope or destruction? What next?
You know that is true. Even if you click on my post and dismiss it, you still have come here wondering what I was about today.

And I am not about to let you down.
My life is good today. I woke up with kitty licking my face with love. And if that don't just kick start a day, nothing shall. Yah, I have it pretty damned good.

Meow for now.

And just so yah knows...........
Most of my life has been recorded on tape before a live audience.

Everybody pulled their weight.
Those were the days/

The old adage comes to mind..............Youth is wasted upon the young

Not so much an adage Mark, it was a quote attributed to George Bernard Shaw (playwright 1856 – 1950).

The days leading up to the New Year are indeed a time for reflection upon the year past and the one yet to come. As we speak I'm being challenged on some of my views and standpoints that I have held in 2016. Am I going to change them in 2017? No I don't believe that I am.

Just remember the day I ended, and the day I started, but also today, because...............
Because everybody remembers the beginning and the end of things.
But few remember the simple things that made in happen between those two.
The theme song also ended up skipping Edith's first skip at it, they should have not.
And for whatever reason, they ended up with them on the opposite seats beside each other on the piano seat.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

And again I have to ask................
What do you make of somebody that will post something to you, and not accept a response back/
Is that not very impolite and very ignorant?

Not telling who, but.......I should.
Peace makes great partners................war makes friends.
She insulted me, but I cannot respond to her.
That is very demeaning., and I resent it greatly.

If you know that I cannot respond, it is insulting that you should PM me.
And thank me for not calling you out here and now.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

None of you understand this...................
It is ME that is being hurt by her.
Not sure I made that clear.
I am the one with my heart in jeopardy.
I drink, but I am not the one who crossed the line.
I sit here at home and stay safe.
I promised never to drink and drive ever again.
And I have not.

So, what happened next, I was not prepared for.
She found another,...................
Excused by the fact that I was not there so often anymore.
I am a man, so I asked her....................Why?

It turns out I am too much of a man for Lori.
I am simply too headstrong for her to take me on.
And she is too headstrong to accept that.

I shall never be her.............underling.
I am more than she can accept.
If she cannot take me for what I am,
then even at my age, I must continue onward.

I am a man with great skills in language and knowledge.
Not so good in the bedroom anymore, but who is at 60yo?
Not my area of expertise anymore. I once was, but not longer.
I now excel in areas of the mind, and pleasures of the body not involved below the knees.

I am crying for her loss now, because she is the only woman I have known for 40 years.
This is damned near gonna kill me................but not quite.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

I appreciate your pain. My heart goes out to you.
I can't fix it, but I will bear witness.

“Upon opening the box, Schroedinger's raccoon will be observed in one of three possible states; alive, dead, or really, really pissed off.”

I wonder if some of you know.......................
What gender I am.
I have posted for year at times from the female point of view.
But I am not. I kinda wanted to be, back when I first met Jett, and she wanted to be with females.
So I wanted to be one too.
I am not overly strong, so I could pass if I dressed right and did my hair right.
I could be a gurl.
i could be one to this day...........I have a very small frame, a very thin face, and big eyes.
I could make myself up to be female to this day.

And maybe I should be one of those new age punks that demands everything be made right.
But I am not.

I just go on with what I have been told and taught that I am.

Somewhat of a man.

The reason JJ and I did not get on at that time is we were BOTH having gender issues.
She was being told she was a man, and I was being told I was a gurl.
That should have matched, but we both knew thing that denied that.
She wanted to be me, and I wanted to be her. And that was such a crisis in the making.
It never would have gone anywhere but to the grave for both of us.

As it was left that day, we both have lived some 45 years without each other since.
Would I have rather lived maybe 20 years with her and then perished?
Hell yah.
Would I give my soul to go back and reclaim who should have been mine?
Hell yah..........in an instant.

I was destined to be with Joan Jett, and something corrupted the time space continuum just as we met.
There were crazy lights and buzzing sounds the instant she touched my hand that day.
Pow bang crash..................
I can still see her face,,,,,,,,,,,,,those big eyes..............and then, nothing.

I know nobody believes this. JJ herself has never spoken about it................
But I am not JJ, and I am not 17 anymore.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

By the way, I am a vampire as well,k.
If that helps to explain anything.
JJ is not, if that helps to explain anything.
I did not turn her.
If that helps to explain anything.

Not that I need to.
Just some of you are questioning how I can have such years of experience.

You had to know this, really?

Watch the Twilight stuff for more info.
Based upon books, but parts are not fiction. The writer was fed this stuff.
She had dreams.................

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

No danger?

They were exactly right..................
There is a danger about this child of ours.
However, we mean them no danger for eons.
Only see our child.
Let us show you, the child.

Alice was wrong. Her vision was wrong.

If you can live with us for a few more centuries, you shall know,.
Time shall amend what you witness here today.
Life, even eternal life gifted to a few of us, shall exist for centuries.
And none of you can take it from us.
God above gifted us with it........................
Not that His reasons for doing so matter much in these conversations.

He admitted that he could grant, to some beings, eternal life whist still living.
I am one of the last here for reasons I am not willing to admit,.

My life, along with Bella, shall be recorded and played back for generations whilst we have our fill and some wonder,.

I was born in 1040..............years before your recorded history.
I survive in this form after many regenerations.
And I have little doubt that my soul will come back again in a few years after I pass in bodily form./

Be ready, for when I do, I am going to be angry with some of you.
Some of you shall already have perished from natural causes. I shall not bother your souls.
For the rest of you, I shall bring a special kind of hell upon this earth.

And Bella is already safe.
No soul, no being upon land or earth, can ever touch her again.
For I control all.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

There are reasons that Lori and myself cannot ever show ourselves upon this earth again.
And neither reason is our fault. And so, YOUR planet has to suffer with the dark side for about ten thousand years.
By which point, you, as a species, shall have long ceased to exist.
Your sun, your sole source of existance, wil have gone out about 3007.
Even your astronomers know this.
One of two events shall occur.............
Either your sun shall explode live a supernove, thus obliterating eveythink that you know in an ion storm nothing can survive, or it shall calmly go dark.
Either way, Earth shall cease to be a life supporting planet.
I however, can live in either condition, and will hunt down every living source of nutrients your planet has left.
Which means, you.
I can go on for eons without, but to not stock up on a dying planet, oh, come on.
I have only a ten billion year life span, and I am hungry.

When they finally rolled the final credits for the entire series, and Lori and myself had been in the theatre for every single second..............we both cried when the ultimate credit trailer rolled, because some of them had been written out of the script for years, but we remembered them.

wtf have I been reading here????

wtf have I been reading here????

Oh, no worries, Robert. WTF do you think you have been reading?
Geez, man, chill.

Just another mythical adventure in the 'twilight zone' that is the mythical, mysterious, myopic, and mystical mind of the kittyman..
No worries.
Just take my stories at face value. Most of them are just stories.
Some are hysterical. Some are historical.

Most of these ' unbelievable' posts are based on the last movie I have watched or the last youtube post I have watched.
And when I get into my cups, I love to 'role play'....and take things from there.
I love to pretend I am something I am not.
It makes life interesting to pretend I am a vampire who has lived a thousand years or more and will live another thousand or more.
That's pretty fun sh=t for a 60yo dude, man.

Just relax, and enjoy my ride.
And, if it offends thee, a liberal dose of the ignore button works, or so I am told. I have never used it on anybody, ever.

More than one has told others that when I get soused, I start to role play.

'Bout time some of you understand that all I say in the 'mystery mode', is not meant to be real.
I get so deep into it at times, that I am on kpax, or whatever other mystical world.
And that amuses me.

If you do not want to come out to play, that is just fine and dandy with me.
I can play in my own little worlds by myself, if that's what it comes to.
What do you do in your off time, Robert?

So, in a nutshell, Robert................
You do not offend me with your comment.
I understand that you do not understand.

Meow.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

And ya know, kids...............
No matter how much I may P&M about things from time to time, I shall have to admit.............
It's been a wonderful life I have been granted.
I have squandered a good portion of it to the bottle.
But when I am not drinking, and even sometimes when I am, I have been treated so kindly by the winds of fate.
Which, of course, are steered by God above.

I thank him every day I awake with a kitty nuzzling or pawing me for love and attention, which they then return.
For my job, which allows me to keep them fed, as well as myself.
For the roof over my head, which I long since bought and paid for, but which still requires that I maintain and repair it, and pay the tax man to be able to stay here.
For such simple pleasures as my computer hobby and my friends here, many of which have witnessed my ups and downs for so many years. And a few of which, have donated to me over the years thousands of dollars worth of GPUs to allow me to continue my quest.
For my faithful Toothless, my 1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera...which despite being a 27yo car, I can trust implicitly to return the love and care and parts I have put into him.
For Lori, who has been my soul mate for so many years I cannot count them. I saved HER from the bottle, and now she is hoping beyond all hope that one day, she may be able to return the favor.
And mostly, for my Mother and my Father, who on the 18th of January, 1957, at 10:58PM, delivered into this world their first son, for whom they hoped great things. And I am graced by the fact that they are both still alive to talk to anytime I wish to. And I do fairly often talk to both of them.

So, when I get off on a tangent, please remind me...............

Mark, you have had such a wonderful life.

And, until God drops the hammer on me,
I ain't done yet.

Meow!
