Things We Like

Sven Bjorn Borg: Sven has been with d-con since its humble beginnings, and is responsible for punctuating, finances, guarding the office from rabid dogs and loud noises, and acting as mediator amongst the other members. Dr. Borge is well-known as the world's foremost (and perhaps only) underwater-basket-weaving expert. Sven has recently published no less than 3 books, Klingon Grammar and Vocabulary for humans, Life among the Grapes, and Escher, Bach, Gödel: A gigantic elastic bungalow. In it's copious spare time, the Sven enjoys playing the harpsichord and diagramming sentences. Sven is Chief of Staff and Director of Intelligence in the UPICN,LLC.
Dr. Bob William "The Orange" Lavoisier a.k.a. Dr. Henry Parsons: Dr. N, as we like to call him, is officially the initiator of the Daily Connotations Company, and also holds important Offices in the VVIIPP society of America and The Department of Redundancy Department, which is a place where he holds an important office in the department of redundancy. Henry also spent a good deal of his life studying the behavior of Walruses (Walri?) in the wild, inspired by a long-running correspondence with Mr. J. Lennon, who, in fact, convinced "The Orange" that he was, in fact, a walrus. Dr. Parsons' curriculum vitae is rounded out by his extensive family history (including a brother, Alan), and double Ph.D. honors in Botany and the Study of Scandinavian Languages. Recently, Dr. Henry Parsons was elected president of the UPICN,LLC
The Doctor a.k.a. Dr. What??: Dr. What joins us now as a member of d-Con in very good standing. It is important that the doctor not be confused with his slightly-more-popular brother, Doctor Who, who has carved a niche for himself in the field of time travel. Dr. What never developed the talent for time travel, and has the ability to visit only two distinct temporal locations: The beheading of John the Baptist and that one time when Stanley met Livingstone (or was it Livingstone met Stanley?) Consequently, he spends much of his time knitting (the scarves, natch) on the planet Gallifrey whilst (and at the same time) contemplating Nietzschean philosophies and memorizing much of Immanuel Kant's work, both in the original German.
Dr. Phelealabean: Dr. Phelealabean also uses the alias Dr. Olga Olathe Parsons-Uhlmer. Dr. Parsons-Uhlmer is a sister to Henry and Alan. She has a dual honorary doctorate in Arabian Literature and Language. She also has teaching experience at the University of Rekjavik which was held in a small grass-covered hut. She iswidowed after an incident involving her husband and abandonment which she is not allowed to discuss pending criminal charges. Now that she is alone, she enjoys spending summers with her brother, Henry, in his summer home, The Parsonon.

11.25.2003

Before I start (oh yes, get ready...) I would like to briefly quote something below:

"........................................................................^..........................^^^^^^^^....."

Perhaps the above quotation can be a good starter for what will begin an enormous discussion about nothing which in itself is nothing. The following are topics currently flying in my mind that I feel pertinent to discuss with nobody, hence my post.

1) It was 38 deg. F in Mission, Texas this morning. The mosquitos are still raging a ruthless war on all carbon-based bi-pedal lifeforms who are without a doubt not enjoying them or the lovely weather. :)

2) The calendar on my office wall is sort of shaped like two pi's connected together minus the "legs".

3) Why waste the time and the space with this post? Because it's perhaps the only intelligent thing I have done all day. It's funny (especially the waffle!) that I would say this because it isn't something you would expect to come out of me or anyone else (don't make assumptions, the obvious is never so). Perhaps it's the holidays, maybe the weather, could be the medication I am on for a respiratory infection, could be any number of circumstances but why list them all.

4) A couple of things in this world really get me going right now. One of them is the promise of a successful future (we all control our futures because fate allows us to). A recent activity that I derive much enjoyment from is the planning of my graduate and post graduate programs in high school. I have reached the decision that I will do my Master of Science degree in Applied Plant Sciences: Plant Breeding/Genetics Track at the University of Minnesota. I have derived much enjoyment from researching these things and applying them to my ideas for a thesis. Here is the page that I have been frequenting.

5) Another activity that gives me much enjoyment is writing. It's funny (again, the waffle) because writers are no longer required to be just writers anymore. Any writer (who is no longer such) who happens to be reading this do continue....We as writers (yes for all of you doubting Toms, Bills, Harrys, and Heinreich's I am considered a writer [though I am no longer such]) must be more than that now, we are required to be mass media specialists (having the ability to market what we are trying to convince people of), computer specialists/whizmo-gizmos {that means precisely what I intend it to mean} (having the ability to be able to produce something that helps us make our point or convey information to people), and lastly {although the list continues on} oral communicators (having the ability to tell people just what the hell me mean!....NOT LISTENING!!). We are no longer writers, we are communication specialists with specific means of transporting meaning from one mind to another or more.

6) I am currently working on a book right now relating my experiences of the movement of life in the garden. Right now I am on Chapter 1: The Seed. I am nearly finished with only some of the Usus (Latin for "having practical knowledge") left to do.

Re-paraphrasing MLK Jr. I wish to say this:

"One day I wish for my children to be judged not by their age or mentality society gives them but by the inital knowledge possessed by their talented souls."

Statistics of those having read this:

1) 45% don't understand or care
2) 13% understand but have decided to find another webpage
3) 16% are completely ignorant, jealous, are scowling (or will be soon) and have totally misunderstood the post, the author and themselves.
4) 25% wish that someone would get rid of the author and hosting site so as to rid themselves of the task of thinking (10% of these people have the potential to be in Class #2 while 24.9% are likely cross listed in Class #1)
5) 1% understand, realize the importance of the post, understand the author, and now themselves.
6) 1 person is happy he wrote this
