What’s up?
Watchin’ the game, havin’ a bud.
True.

After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Only one I ever saw was the wiener dogs.
I remember the Budweiser ad, but I don’t think I ever saw it on TV.
Yesterday, as the blizzard was ending, a very bored electronics guy at Target tried to sell me a slightly used 55″ 4K TV for $350. I can remember when the first 4K TVs came out, and the price was $3500.
I can also remember the first TV I ever bought. It was a 13″ RCA color model, and it cost $300 in 1978.
I explained to the guy that I haven’t turned on my TV for about 18 months now. This isn’t virtue. I just don’t like watching TV any more.
Decades TV having a 77 Sunset Strip marathon.
Surprisingly enjoyable.
Those were fun! I haven’t seen any of them before, and won’t see them again.
Cut the TV cable over a decade ago, and haven’t missed it one bit. Just makes occasional commercials something to enjoy, instead of passionately loathing them!
