I thought she was a good reporter who was really doing interesting news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of what she&#8217;s been accused of is confusing.  If I took the right pill, and hadn&#8217;t followed what she&#8217;s done&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started this entry by starting to head to my old-is-new news site to look for headlines, then I remembered seeing and retweeting <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wjla.com\/news\/local\/police-rape-suspect-freed-due-to-virus-kills-his-accuser-in-alexandria\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be perfectly clear &#8212; I generally think that prison sentences are too long, and parole should be happening more quickly than it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, this guy got out, then went and killed the woman who&#8217;d accused him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the priority is on defunding the police, and sending people into poor and minority neighborhoods to take people&#8217;s guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, protests don&#8217;t cause COVID-19 outbreaks.  That&#8217;s the story, and don&#8217;t attribute anything to the protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, don&#8217;t ever reconsider stories that don&#8217;t fit the corporate media narrative about the whole story.  Please ignore the stories that show the leaked bodycam video, or show that he was on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/george-floyd-had-severe-heart-disease-and-he-was-on-drugs-that-raises-questions-about-the-cause-of-his-death\" target=\"_blank\">Fentanyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s an official story that was locked-in shortly after all this happened, and that&#8217;s forever true.  Chuck Todd and MSNBC said so, and it&#8217;s <em>dangerous<\/em> that people don&#8217;t take the initial take, and use it as gospel forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don&#8217;t look at Nick Sandmann\/Covington Catholic.  The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/kentucky-teen-settlement-washington-post-b308848f-9a94-4a6b-8f4a-80bca2f8f611.html\" target=\"_blank\">settlements <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/crime\/some-lawyers-think-covington-catholics-nick-sandmann-walked-away-from-media-lawsuits-with-peanuts\/ar-BB17ff1a\" target=\"_blank\">might have been for little money<\/a>, so it makes what the big outlets reported okay, okay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facts roll in as time progresses.  Sometimes you don&#8217;t find out for a long time what was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.archaeology.org\/0901\/trenches\/lusitania.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">actually going on<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Altered State &#8211; 8\/7\/2000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be interesting to take something that would make me feel differently than I do now. Or as of late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, now, I&#8217;ll try and recreate the entry I did last night, but wouldn&#8217;t save because they didn&#8217;t do maintainance on the POS micro$oft database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so, the dreams I had the other night. There were several, but the most memorable was one involving sex. Now, I don&#8217;t dream about sex very often at all. But in this dream, I was trying to get it on with someone whom I&#8217;d known in high school (Yah, I don&#8217;t know where that came from, but I&#8217;m not complaining). We were in the midst of our preparation for the real act, but members of my family kept walking into the room. She and I were quite chagrined by this, so we retreated to my flat, which was interestingly enough, upstairs in the dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dream also was another interesting mix of places I&#8217;ve lived. I&#8217;m sure it was set downtown where I live now, but buildings from other places were in the neighborhood. Lots and lots of red brick. Also, there was a stark contrast in the environments indoors and outdoors. Indoors, it was hot (her skin was very salty\u2026.I can&#8217;t seem to remember ever tasting anything before in my dreams, but if it continues, great). Outside, it was cold and rainy. So figure that one out, because I&#8217;m beyond stumped. But I think the dream, on the whole, is about my desire for privacy\u2026.that my flat is my little slice of privacy where my desires are uninterrupted? Maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><s>Redacted<\/s><\/strong> is back in town\u2026.we&#8217;re supposed to hang out with her on Tuesday night. Yay. Been thinking about the ex lately, for what reason I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m so tempted to call her. But I found one of her necklaces in my room at my parents&#8217; house. I&#8217;m wondering how I should get it back to her. I&#8217;m thinking of writing her a letter. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Part of the reason I sought professional help was that I was having very vivid, sometimes disturbing, dreams.  I think some of it might have been attributable to a medication I was taking that cause me to sleep deeply.  Some of the more vivid dreams have stopped, but I still have some doozies, and have for a long time.  See the entry.<\/li><li>I have no clue who the name I redacted was.  I think I know, but I&#8217;m not sure.  *shrug*<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;d be better off not paying attention to pretty much anything, ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listening to podcasts, and finding myself questioning a lot of things.
