I simply do not play your games anymore.
And I realize that irritates you.

I am going to crunch this project until it ends.

I don't care anymore./

I am down for the count now..............................
I have laid out somethings.
YOU have to consider them now.

Gone until........................oh, when do you wish me back?

Not mine to choose at this time. I have other agendas.

These Seti bits are just a small thing of what I do.

I realize this is a new PC world, snowflakes.

A nation of snowflakes, unable to laugh at ourselves?
You all look at me at times and laugh at the funny drunk man.
There was actually a time when that was OK.............a few made a LIVING out of it.

The consequences to our, at least in the US, society shall be great if the PC snowflakes would ever take over.

Yours are in transit from the beginning of the earth and then on.
Mine are eternal.
Sorry guys, but my card wins.

Anybody willing to put up a few gazzilion dollars with no guaranteed payoff except the grace of God?
I would be His tool in this day and age to launch the Kitty News Network.
All healthful news, all the time.
Not being false about this.
It is about time somebody had the balls to counter CNN, Fox, and snotty SNBC.
I actually believe a go could be made of it........
Although in this day and age enough good news might be hard to find, I believe with a good enough staff and supporters it could be done.

Remember my post about winning a million dollars?
It would not be enough. Ten or twenty million for starters./
And then a million or two for at least ten years to get it rolling.
After that, self supporting.
There are many God loving, kitty supporting people on this earth to support this venture.
All kitty news, all the time.
There are a few billlion kitties and kitty lovers in thins world.
I believe it it time for us to have our say.
What say you?
All good news, all the time.
Would you support the Kitty News Network?

KNN, live,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Meow, posting live From a go post ....
And this.........
This kitteh.................oh, meow.

And know this................
Kitties know no politics, only love.
So, NO adverts allowed from any politician of any kind, ever.
Just Freekibble and their supporters.
Purina, if Icould get them to sign some wavers, and mostly, the hearts of million of cats who are owning their pets for life.

A typical KNN broadcast.........

Sometimes, you can find adventure in the least likely places.
Coming soon to a KNN network near you.\
And I would by out Marcus and resort to a theatre network more acceptable to families, even though I have never had one as such, no children.

I understand that the theaters have all gone to premium seating, with premium pricing.
And almost, if not all, of the budget theatres have now closed. A freaking plan to ramp up ticket prices.

I would also give a place to watch OLD, Classic and proven movies once in a while, in the venue they were once deserving of.
Ever seen The Scent of a Woman on the big screen?
So what are you doing in this sparrow fart town.
Bet you never hear that quote.

I have not, and would relish it. ON the big screen it deserved.

Same goes for my favorite, Second Hand Lions.
A movie all should see/.
And all the old Clint Eastwood favorites, Every one of them.

I think this would work and I would love to die trying it./

If I won the lottery.
I could and would enrich the lives of many.
If only.

I am, and forever shall be, out here in the ethermist that is Seti on the social side.
My achievements on the crunching side are determined, and posted for all to see.
What I post and try to share, is the inside part of the kittyman, which even my GF Lori sometimes cannot get into.
Meow and I shall answer.

Simply put as it can be...............
I suppose that I have a life that exchanges mine for others' at times.
Mine for yours, glad to give a part of mine that you shall live.

Every nut and bolt and light that I apply every day may one day, save another's life.
I hope and pray every day to God that he shall watch over and protect my home and my kitties whilst I am away.

But, if that fails, my home town also bought another Pierce. As did Milwaukee, almost ready to be delivered to them./
And yes, I still like Balongna on my bread.
What a life,eh?

Just a side note about my employment.

Pierce Manufacturing sold, in January, and all time high.

321 fire trucks were booked in January of 2017.

321.

Yeah, everybody wants a Pierce if they can somehow afford it.
And many jurisdictions set aside the low bidder for quality. All bids are not awarded on price alone.

Because they know you get what you pay for, and the life of a fire truck is measured in years, not in the minutes of your last town hall meeting.

It is called 'quality of ownership'. Not simply the price that you paid up front.
And knowing that you have somebody to stand behind you if something should go astray. And, being made by the hand of man, things do go wrong.

But, being owned by Oshkosh Corporation, we have the funds available to go do R&D that others simply cannot do.
We strive to be the best, because we are the best.
Am I proud? Am I boasting?
Damned right I am.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow!

Because it means so much to me./
The message conveyed and to my heart.
I am a changed man now.
Not just because of what JJ said 40 years ago, but some recent events as well.
I still do not trust everything that the twisted sex community has to say, but I am softening to the point that I can at least listen to them.
Because I have come to, at the age of 60, question some of my life long values. And I believe taking stock of what one has at my age is a good thing.

I do not know how many years the good Lord above is gonna grace me with upon this earth.
After 60, all bets are off.........LOL.
I have hidden, and twisted and changed over the last few years.
One thing is certain to me now, however.
I still do not know, without questioning it.
What I am or should be.
It's still up for grabs.

I do so love to posture as a gurl.
It represents something that I could or should be.
Not the sex changing kind of thing, but how I see the world.
And you should see me from that point of view.

Not because of the color of my hair.
But, because of the color of my thoughts.

What is really so hard to grasp for me is that this movie is about me and Lori.
Our life's journey.
It is hard to watch and not draw paths I and she have both followed.
I am trying to make a storybook ending, but our paths have become so twisted that In am not sure it is possible.

Fairy tales do have an end, after all.
Mine is coming to a close.

Life is not what is chose as a child. My brother's suicide with me at the bridge?
That cemented my hardened heart.

I love kitties, they represent to my, what I could an should have been
They are my only children I possess on this earth/
I have lost two of them. and both tore my world apart.
The two I have left are so loving, it scares me at times, because I know they shall leave me too.

Love,
Mark

But, my friends.................
There is also hope in my life.
Lori is that hope.
She and I speak every day.
I take hope in the life she has attained.
For I knew her when her spark was very dim.
And what a find she was.

Now, my hopes are getting better.
Meow.

Folks, never ever underestimate what you already have in hand.
Promises are nothing if unfulfilled.
You have something special? Embrace it forever.
I am just starting to realize that.
And it has taken me 60 years.................I do hope it shall not take you so long.

Just where does one begin?
To apologize? Really?
For being what one has become.
Folks, some people lead lives.
And some of us are led by life.
I fall into the latter category.
Life has dealt me some rather unusual fates and circumstances.
To which I have reacted as best as I was able to.
My life ain't been pretty. But, as it works out, it's been pretty kind to me, considering all.
When does a man stop trying to massage the egos of those petting him down?
And take comfort in knowing that he is what he is.

I have reached a point where some things are uncomfortable for me to acknowledge.
That I can and shall not be here forever to explain my life.
And I have one who has been telling me that for many years now. Because she has been nearer to death than I have.

I have not ever met a single one of you in person.
But at times, I think I have. Through the keyboard.
Words written, at times in haste, at times in anger, at times in sorrow.
I have known many of you. You have experienced my love, anger, hate, and forgiveness.
Through this conduit we share at Seti.

I am a lot of things. Not all of them lovable.
You all must know by now that I am manic/depressive.
My heights are monumental, my lows lead me to places you never wish to go.
And through it all, I have managed to come out on top. At least today.
As AA says, one day at a time. Sometimes one instant at a time. Resisting the urge to do something crazy.
Not knowing what the next instant shall bring.

I am certain that most of you have no clue what I am talking about.
Your sanity prevents you from going where I am. And I can only wonder what that is like.


Life. Life for me is kinda like a shutterbox. Light on, light off. And I try to make things work during the flashes of 'light on'. At times I make it work. At times I run blindly into where I thought the light was. And find myself with a broken nose and shattered faith in the light.
But, to continue my life, I must trust the light and shun the darkness.
It takes most of my life to continue to live my life, if you could imagine that.

I could go on, but enough for now.

Stay tuned for more exciting episodes on.......
The kitty channel.

See...............I just went from darkness to light in the few minutes it took to type this post.
I am all bright and cheery now, and not sure where the 'other' Mark went.
That is what it is to be manic/depressive.
I shall be OK for a few hours now, I hope.
Until darkness descends upon me again.
You have no idea what it is to have that looming over you for all of your life.
You truly do not.

Meow!

These days it is called Bipolar disorder Mark, but I am sure you know that.

Bipolar

The PC term of the day does not change it's effect on one's life.
I could be diagnosed with all of those disorders, depending upon the day and my state of mind at the time.
I know what people call me.
I have to shrug it off and just plod forth.
If I stop for one moment to look back at them, I will not be able to turn around.
I shall not give in.
