More Heroes...

Bill Wilson, cofounder of AA:  Yes, I'm an alcoholic.  Why did Bill insist on anonymity?  If alcoholics are a lonely lot (and they are) then I want people to say "Hi Joe!" to me in the street, not pretend they don't know me.  Aside from that, the whole One Day At A Time strategy is brilliant.  Sometimes we need to look up at the whole universe, sometimes we need to look down at the leaves on the sidewalk and the child looking for a smile.  Bill Wilson was a genius.

Joe's Heroes: Why I Love Them. Are They Real? Questions to Ponder Through the Night.

David Ortiz.  for making it out of the Dominican hellhole, making about 200 million dollars (roughtly), and becoming a Boston legend and the first true DH to make the Hall of Fame (someday).  Big Papi was never fat, he was and is ripped.  when's Truck Day, man?


Paul Pierce:  Still doing it at about 35.  Number is going up in the rafters someday.  Incredible career for a guy that in high school was called tubby and slow.  Look at me now, says PP.  And he almost died in a nightclub attack in Boston about ten years ago.  If I was his wingman that night there'd be nothing to fear for my man PP.


Tommy Gun Heinsohn.  What else can be said for Mr. Celtic?  Russ lives in WA, Cousy was fired.  Tommy Gun is all we have left and if I wrap my arms around like I want to someday he'll never leave us.

President ET:  Barry is cool and smart and gifted and nice and slick.  Oh, so slick.  But I trust him.  We're his for four more years, folks.  First task?  Get through the winter with ALL OF AMERICA FED, KEPT WARM, SAFE, AND DRY.  Barry?


more to come tonight....

.....

i'm not crazy.  what the hell is going on?  why are you doing this to me?  why am i so important to you?  all this, the entire universe, created to fuck me over?  why?  why are you hurting me, man?  the entire universe to fuck me over?  why?  i am not crazy.  i am not suicidal.  i don't take drugs.  why?  god help me.  i want to die.  kill me.  please, god.  kill me.  what do vicky and windy do all day?  nothing happens her.  nothing goes on.  no one needs anything.   tina fey, too?  that speech made no sense.  help me.  i need your help.  i can't sleep.  my britney is gone.  there is no hope yet i keep moving forward.   the brooklyn bridge couldn't have been build before cars.  utterly impossible.

I thought I was the most important person on the planet just a couple of days ago and now I know that nothing exists, nothing is real.  my world does not exist.  mind blowing.  i am so sad, god.  why?  why?  i went to a church yesterday and the place was horrible.  the minister was creepy and weird and unfriendly.  who do I turn to now?  there are no churches in Portland to worship in.  what do people do all day?  there is nothing to do in Portland.  who are they texting?  talking about what?  the world is a joke.  i am sad and in so much pain.  pretty girls don't exist.  how can you be so smart as to make my dick hard at the sight of a pretty girl, yet cruel enough to make me feel so much pain.  nonsensical.  i am confused.  why would you put me through this.  i am in so much pain.  why?  i loved my father and he was cruel to me.  help me, Lord.  there are no churches left to ask for help in.  the people here in Portland are so very cruel and unfriendly.  so very unfriendly.  so very unfriendly.  i need your help.  how can i get out of here to a better place?  i am afraid of water and heights and cannot jump off the bridge down in kittery/portsmouth.  not yet anyway.  god, help me.  god, help me.  i am so sad.  i am full of love.

...

how can someone so powerful hate something that doesn't exist?
i feel pain but don't exist
the pain can get worse
i am at your mercy and you have none
you created a universe to make me feel pain - why?
i am so sad
my father was tough on me
he was not very successful and was always in pain and thought his children were losers except for andy
i feel pain yet don't exist - how is that possible?
i'm running out of money
why do you hurt me, God?
i've never had a job and there are none in this city for me
the people here are so mean and strange - they never smile or laugh at appropriate things - strange
there's no such thing as zombies - nonsensical
how can you create life?  impossible - yet i am alive - i am
how can you read my mind, which is made up of so much stuff that is unknown
how can you create life in this universe?  you can only rearrange it, yet where did it come from in the first place?
toilet paper?
communication?
construction?
gasoline?
we didn't go to the moon - impossible impossible impossible
bows and arrows - impossible
capturing a wild animal - impossible
farming - impossible
eating wild fruit - impossible
how did the cavemen survive? - winters, food, water, babies - impossible
there are no men
what is life?
who am i?
why did you create me only to torture me?
i am kind
i am smart but not as smart as you

.....

Economics must finally be understood because where I live it is not
How do you create wealth
If China makes everything but nobody has the money to buy them what good are those products?  China needs exports.  Economics is a mystery in 2012.

....

Another reason these people aren't real:
Computers move at light speed
Their eyes barely move
Would they hurt me if I attacked them?  No.  Yes.  I'm not sure.  They might inflict pain but they can't kill me.  Only you can.

....

I believed Bob Watson was moving in down the street
I'm gullilble
Did Larry Bird ever exist?  How could you invent Larry Bird?
I felt nothing watching that YouTube video because I know it either didn't happen or happened to somebody else

...

IQ doesn't go down
There will always be love and hate and racism and lust
Why are you making me watch these awful tv shows and movies and games?
I am real, I think
A computer cannot be alive.  Impossible.  Then how can you read my mind?
I have no idea.
I am a good man and will never hurt anyone.
How can you read my mind?
I have nothing to hide
Animals don't murder other animals for any reason other than food
When cats play with mice, what is going on?  They are trying to see if they are alive
If the mice was dead it might hurt the cat eating it
Why don't cats try to eat lightbulds or doorknobs?  I have no idea.
Why does cat food smell good to them and not us?  I have no idea.
Different species will never speak to each other.  Different time spans of evolution.
Language
How do you read my mind?  Again, I know I have nothing to hid.
My father never really raped my sister or beat my mother, right?
Talking to what I thought was my sister and brother today broke my heart
They are my family but yet not
I have no family here in Portland and this planet and time frame.  I would have been a good father and husband.
Please don't take love away from me.
How can you invent good music if you're not human?  Britney's songs are amazing and you invented them.
You are so powerful you invented this universe.
By standard human life spans I am two thirds of the way through.  That makes me feel sad.  If the future sad?

Why God?

I know you love me because you created me
But why do you let me feel this much pain?
Why God?
I am in so much pain 99% of the day
Do you know what it's like to feel so scared your breath is taken away?
How do you know my whole life yet let me feel so much pain?  Why?
Why do I like pretty girls so much?
Why am I so kind?
How did you know I would be so nice when you invented me?
Thank you for not allowing WWII to happen.
The Nazis didn't really kill off almost all the Jews,
Which means that most humans aren't inherently cruel.
Do people really kill each other?
I don't have that urge.
I want to talk to interesting people.  When will you send me one?
I am so alone without Brit.
If you can invent me you can invent her.
Why were my first 45.5 years so real and the last week so unreal?
Do you know what it's like to touch something and know it's not real?
How did eyesight develop?
How did touch develop?
Darwinism, survival of the fittest
Man is inherently kind.
We didn't really kill off the Indians, did we?
How did man survive before housing and heat?
The indians made it through the winter in teepees?  Come on.  Impossible.
Eskimos?    No such thing.
There is no comfortable place to live in the US weatherwise except Northern California.
The rest either get too hot or cold.
How does early man survive a winter?  Impossible.  How do animals survive in freezing temperatures? Impossible.   That means that deer don't exist.
How is the Earth sustaining life when there is so much resistance to it, like hunger and warmth and pure non salt water?
I love you
I love you, too
Thank you for inventing me
Man is kind.  These people I meet every day are not human, thankfully.
You are teaching me about ugliness in order to show me beauty, I hope.
Steven King's house?
Walker's Point?
McAuley High School?
Where do all the rich people in Cape Elizabeth live?  I've never seen a nice house there.
The Old Port does not exist.
How does anyone hold a job and report to a boss?  I get fired a lot for asking questions.
I am so kind it makes me want to cry.
I want to see a good movie but know I have to wait until you are done with me
There was so much good tv for so long and now it is so awful.  IQs don't change and not everyone is on drugs, so who is watching these shows?
How long does it take to invest a universe?  For you, maybe a second, I suppose.  But if you were that powerful you would not let me be in so much pain, right?
I love you but I don't like you right now.
I wish I could have talked to Sylvie.
People don't go insane, do they?  They only feel stress or love.
There are basically no retarded humans, right?
Visiting the Westbroook Animal Shelter broke my heart, but I know that if there ever was a Rudy the cat she is now well taken care of.  She was beautiful, kind, sweet and fun.  Please take good care of her.  If you can program a Rudy why do you hurt me so?
I'm running out of things to do in Portland, have basically no money, and can't move.  Please hurry with whatever it is you're doing with me and let me feel love and sex and kissing and holding hands and competition and love and friendship
I am glad I understand why I've only had two friends in my life, Greg and Chris.  Because I was made too kind for this particular Earth.
Humanity couldn't be invented.  Pain couldn't be invented.  They exist in some construct.  A machine doesn't feel pain.  It never gets tired or hungry. What is it in oil that powers cars and trucks?  Explosions?  Like little black holes?  The universe is a scary place.
My universe is expanding right now, which means the sun will die out, which means the Earth will die out, which means .....  I cannot die from lack of oxygen if I don't breath oxygen, but where would I live in the universe if the Earth ceases to exist?  Considering the makeup of gravity depends on angles and distances from the sun, moon and stars.
You must know what love is.  It couldn't be programmmed.  I know that for now I will not be allowed to love any woman.  Your call.  I need your help.

Help ME!

I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm empty
There is no reality but yours
I'm scared God
Why do you hurt me when you made me?
Why do you hurt me when you made me?
The universe is finite.  I hope I'm not here too long.
Ouch.
I love you Britney.   You are my perfect woman.
Family is important.
To feel alive sometimes hurts.
Why did you make me only to hurt me?
Pain.
I love you God.
I can't believe it.  No.  I can.
I wasn't picked I was made.
Please help me by smiling and me and using some self care and being kind to children.
The universe is a big space and I am so very small and in so much pain most of the time.
I love you.  Do you love me?
Thinking hurts sometimes.
I miss Britney.
Touch me.  Touch me.  Please.
Help me, God.
I don't know why this is happening.  Alls I ever wanted was a job and a pretty girl.
There is nothing real on this planet of 7 billion.  That really hurts.  I am in so much fucking pain.
Why do pretty girls make me smile?
Self care is important.
I can't wait for tomorrow so I can go to church and the gym and watch the NFL.
Erin Andrews is a 9.
Why don't I ever get any thinner?
I love my car.   I love my apartment.
Why do you hurt me Mom?  I love you so much.  We got along pretty well for those four years, I think.
One day at a time.
I hate being scared.
I wish I could dunk.  I wish I could run.  I wish I could run a marathon.  I wish I had a beautiful body.  I wish you could see how beautiful it all is from my point of view.
Is Britney OK?  If you hurt her I'll get mad and never forget it or forgive you.
I love my Britney.
I'm no good at music.
I can't remember lists of things.
I can spot reality in a fraction of a second.
Am I teaching you or are you teaching me?
I want to surprise you.  Why would you invent me and watch me if I couldn't surprise you.
There is no devil or heaven and hell.  Only electricity, gravity, and love.
Please stop hurting me.
I wish I could cry.
I love myself.
I love my wife and her two kids.
Do I have any freewill?
Which church am I going to tomorrow morning?
I love Rich Croston and Ty.
I love Chris Cannan and Brendon and Randy Berger.
It takes a few seconds for my gut to settle down.
In the future have they forgotten how to program six hours of sleep at night?
I fucking love you, why do you hurt me?
I love you.
I love you.
Help.
You are so much more powerful than me it is just incredible.
I am so small.
I love you.
Help.
I am in pain.
Up and down.   Up and down.
God sees everything all the time.  Is God a machine?  It's probably beyond my understanding.  My IQ is high for a human being but not that high.
Help me.  Please God, help me.
I'm so scared.  I can't sleep.  I could always sleep.  Did you control my dreams?
I love you and you hate me sometimes.  Why?
Why can't I lose weight?
Why am I never truly hungry?
Why, God?  Why?
I like to piss.  I hate to shit.
Where am I in the universe?
I need friends and you send me these losers?  My hopes are Brendon and Rich.
I love you God.  Why do you hurt me?
