The Daily News

1   Yawn. 

2   No one was around last night so I partied like it's 2015, which is to say I got to sleep around 8:30.

3   Yee-uh.

4   AND I refused to grade any papers.

5

6   I am such a rebel.

7   Dang.

8   Don't get old.

9   I awakened to watch the second go-round of the Giants/Bums game. 

10  Baseball.

11  Arguably the most delightful game on the planet.

12  When you win and the Dodgers lose, that is. 

13   I love that rivalry.

14   I love it because Dodger fans are just as crazy as Giants fans. 

15   I keep imagining directing Romeo and Juliet using both houses. The Giants would be the Montagues.

16   I'm pretty sure it's been done, and that it probably was horrid, but the temptation...

17

18   I'm all about temptation, as any fool knows. 

19  

20   Yeah, like I'm tempted to go to sleep.

21   Sleep becomes you when you get older.

22   Anyone lookin'?

23   

24   Ah, it's all good. 

25   Moving On, Part One: Does anyone else want to pull covers over their heads and hide from the world?

26  I can't believe some of the crapola I see in the news. 

27  I'm pretty sure that a lot of the news is controlled by the Man.

28  So much of it is absolute boushit and stuff. Everywhere you look there are liars and fake news. 

29   I usually ask, "What's the agenda?"

30   Or more directly: "Who's making money off this?"

31   Don't get old. 

32   I swear.

33   But listen to old coots who know how the system manipulates thought. 

34   

35   Just an old geezer giving a shout out to young people. 

36   They REALLY do lie, always have, and always will. 

37   

38   And we old coots are now talking about the world our children and our grandchildren are going to live in. 

39   Teach kindness and empathy, but keep an eye out for the idiots who wish to control things. 

40  Most of the truth is blatant and evident. 

41  Read Family of Secrets by Russ Baker. Google it. It's just about all you need to read to get started. 

42   I've been on this stuff for about a thousand years. 

43   The lies these people have fed us are much more obvious as time rolls on. 

44   Look into 9/11. That entire thing was deplorable. Bring people who were in on it to justice. 

45   Hang 'em.

46   And hang 'em high. 

47   

48   <stepping down from soap box>

49

50   Do they even make soap boxes?

51   Ah, sorry. I just am into the 4 a.m. and there is a drone hanging outside my window filming all of this, I'm quite sure.

52   When did it come to all this?

53   Ah, it's all good. I've flowers, a clean house, and folks who likes me.

54   Who could ask for anything more?

55   Gottago.

56   Have a SHORT day!

57   See you again.

58   Peace.
