The Week in Weird (An Up-date)

I’m in the middle of moving.
I mean, my fingers are moving on the key board, my foot jitterbugs occasionally at the end of crossed legs and my eyes are following the cuneiform raps on the screen. The digital styluses imprint digital paper from the improbable of my thoughts. There is a constant rolling of data into form in a sort of reversed electronic process from thinking about it.
The cat scrapes gravel over poop in a box in the corner.
My lungs and heart are labored.
I have asthma like symptoms for the first time in ten years.
The red tide, the creepy sea weed mutations and bacteria are washing in from the ocean.
I am sick. It is just circumstance. Like a traffic jam. It’s annoying and scary.
I am moving. It’s a thought at this point though I moved a couple pieces of furniture to the new location today.
The harassment is worse than it’s ever been. The sonic attacks are more savage. The layers of cover are more obvious. This is not crude witness harassment. It’s organized and intelligent. It is a twenty-four hour a day discombobulating of things. My memory is shot, my peaks are drained and my life long cognitive disabilities are being played like out of tune harp strings on a warped bow.
It’s always something.
They bring in different groups in to do the illegal surveillance, to monitor and interact via cell phone LANS while the attacks intensify using radionics, short wave and cell phones sound for sleep deprivation and real, physical damage. They make it a fun ticket to play for people.
They always do this when I move.
It is stressful. So much so, that I have always gotten bronchitis when moving. This is psychology of course. Moving is an amazing process. It is getting rid of things and moving things around.
But this new form of hot boxing fills the brain with cerebral fluid and makes doing anything difficult.
It’s like swimming through a tank of warm hair gel.
Reading this must be like that too. Well, onward through the goo to the news of the week, in and of itself an amazing process.
On the other hand it’s like any other illegal stakeout.
It’s Mr. Microphone mania.
If you remember that you understand this better. In the 1980s there was a TV product called Mr. Microphone. It was a mobile bull horn that you plugged into your car stereo to drive around with. The attraction was that you could do woo-woo cat calls from while hanging out of your window like a dog, evangelize to the people walking through their day to day on sidewalks, or be an upfront abusive or backseat driver to all you meet.
Thirty years of broadcasting makes me less annoyed than most.
It’s like a unwilling radio show.
I can usually tune it out.
But I’ve grown more than a little agitated this last week.
A close, thirty year companion died this week. This is the second close friend I’ve lost in six months. A lover.
They won’t let me grieve.
The broadcast continues to trivialize the details of my life in the most offensive ways possible.
They feed off the endorphins of my tears.
This is an electronic infusion issue. About the curious tendency of high broadcast frequency waves to carry the taste and substance of things with them when tuned right.
If I have my way I’ll talk about that this week as well.
As usual, I am heavily censored.
Besides that, it’s the holidays; my mom is in the hospital with a broken hip. The new cats are adjusting to me. I am still the big food dispenser doing Frank Sinatra solos in the kitchen at chow time. My bird is less nervous. A bad sign.
I am communicado with friends and am basically up as the year spins.
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned into a 53 year old without batting an eye.
Here’s the news.
