But For How Long (POEM)

But For How Long
David S. Nicholson
Feb 7, 2015

 Long and twisted desert road.
Faded photo with burned edges.
Clown that smiles and cries inside.
Voice screaming, fractured and tormented.
Desire to be happy and the reality creeping in.
Pain of the flesh hides the pain inside.
Distant memories so like yesterday.
Waters run for wild to calm.
The sun warms my face.
Flowers, not sand beside me.
Happy once again, but for how long?

SHAW BLUECURVE GATEWAY REVIEW AND THEN SOME

Image
Speed tests are on the left. My shinny new A50 did the worst it seems. The PC was wired so it went blazing fast. The old S7 did darn good.

I got to say the installation was a nightmare. They want you to set it all you yourself and there is no documentation. There is a shinny app you can waste memory with or enter the IP to get it set up - either will work. If you want the app, use it from the start, don't try and use it after use used the browser to set up the gateway.

First off the lettering on the bottom of the modem is not friendly to my eyes. The other thing is, there is a vast amount of information on the bottom, so it was hard to pick out. Being the cable was too short to pick it up to eye level, I had to take a photo to see the password and so on. This was problematic as where I have it is low to the ground and I'm disabled and it hurt me a lot to squat down to do that. If I had thought of it - I'd have just written it all down when I took it out of the box but I didn…

IT'S A MASK NOT ELECTRONICS

Image
Ordered the mask below on Amazon above you see what was under it. Kind of don't think this is an electronic device, but whatever.

They said in the ad "free overnight shipping" then it came up being a week until I get the thing. That's really not one day shipping. I just hope it fits better then the last "XL" mask that I need a string on the back to keep it from popping off my head.

CANCELED MY ORDER ON AMAZON

Image
Day 5 and they only just started to process the order. I also have no idea if this fancy mask will fit on my head even. The last XL one I got did not fit well at all. So I got pissy and canceled the order. I'll just keep hand washing the old one every time I go out.To heck with it.

Ilitium Disorder

The inability to understand satire has been linked to a mental disorder known as ilitium. This is where the person reading, hearing or viewing satirical content takes it as the truth. It is compounded by the fact that people are emotional about their view points in matters of society. They either think it is the absolute truth when in reality it is a mockery or they rebel against it thinking it is a lie. Sadly there is no amount of education or medication for this disorder. The persons suffering from this terrible affliction will be sadly condemned to be fooled and butt-hurt for the rest of their life. We as normal humans can only try to comfort them.

FACEBOOK JAIL - AKA I WISH THERE WAS A BETTER PLATFORM

Image
Facebook hit my twice for the same post. I got 30 days because for some stupid reason it thought I had posted the same thing twice when in reality it was just once. I got talking in messenger to a couple people about it and it seems they have been hit the same way, more than once for the same post. So much for commentary on the nature of cops who just keep doing racist things. Seems Facebook is the least likely place to be accepting about social commentary of any nature no matter what the topic is.To top it off, they just changed their terms of service to make it a lot more easy to remove your posts and send you to Facebook jail or even deactivate your account.I once got hit for a post that was 8 years old. All the sudden things they let you post in the long distant past are banned and the bots spank you for posting them. Who the hell remembers what they posted 8 years ago FFS?The best thing is, Facebook has no idea who so many people have up and said "fuck this" and closed t…
