Last but NOT part

Good Morning & Happy Sunday,

I know why you are here.

  • Cause you always read The Official Blog of Vernon J
  • You are a 1st time visitor from Facebook or Instagram
  • It’s Sunday, it isn’t like there is any NASCAR on to get you RPM’s up.

Today is Sunday 02/10/V3.3 & this is the chance worth taking.

Well according to the ISO 8601 2.2.7 Monday is the 1st day of the week. Making Sunday the last day of the week. BUT according a more higher and powerful standard Sunday isn’t part of the weekend. This is done for two reasons, it give you a 3-day weekend Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It started way back in MMI & shall not be changed, unless there is a cash payment of $2,000,000 dollars made to the decider.

Back when the higher and powerful decider was attending Northern Michigan University his  classes ended on Thursday. 1st day of the weekend, Friday was/is the 2nd day of the weekend, and Saturday being the 3rd day of the weekend.

He didn’t know that ISO 8601 existed until last year, it’s okay. He doesn’t know everything, just alot.

So that’s that. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE if that’s why you came here to read. See I don’t make you read though other stuff to get the meat and potatoes of the entry. I treat my readers right.

The word of the day is Jacobin which is an extreme radical, especially in politics. Well that’s interesting to use extreme and radical in a definition of a word. I would consider extreme & radical subjective terms.  The 3 of the 5 definitions included radical or extreme in the definition. The fifth one was the one that I like the best. Radical is existing inherently, wouldn’t that just be normal then?

YES I’m asking you to think for yourself and always question authority. Even Vernon J’s authority, unless I’m working cause then I have expressed authority, not implied authority.

There was an interesting story on CBS Sunday Morning, I’ll see if I can include a link to the story sometime today. They don’t have it on their site yet. Here’s a link to Faith’s twitter update Twitter / Faith_Salie: If you hate those “love padlocks” …

Today I’m heading to the G-Store, as soon as I get done posting this.

Then coming home and making breakfast and dinner. Then I’m off to work.

Have a GREAT day!

Imagine

Good Morning & Happy Saturday,

Imagine for a second, that everyone you know is gone. You’re still the same person, what would you do?

Today is Saturday 02/09/V3.3 & its three times the fun of an hour.

That’s what I thought about it bed last night. I’d be the same Vernon J, but my friends & people I don’t like would be gone. What would I do? Well I’d probably post on twitter less, or at least read the updates less. Cause a majority of my posts are not conversations (I’m sure).

So today we get to go to work, for a bonus payment agreement. They call it overtime, I’m still not making enough money. BUT we gotta do what we gotta do.

The word of the day is irrefrangible which is not to be broken or violated; inviolable.

I’m here at the Omaha Press Club, waiting for the game that has been postponed because of (lack of) ice conditions.

Okay, I got nothing else. Look at this picture that I can’t upload.

Quotes from the World for Saturday 02/09/MMXIII

Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.

I DID it.

Good Afternoon & Happy Friday,

I did it, I signed up for overtime (again). I’ll be putting in 49+ hours this week. YEAH!!

Today is Friday 02/08/V3.3 & I am NOT the Government.

Read the Bill of Rights to see what that is all about – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights

So I got up this before 08.00, looked at my phone/read my text message/checked my e-mail & then went back to bed until my alarm went off at 08.28.

I then showered, washed dishes, brushed my teeth & then started my day. Bank, Radio Shack, Definitive Vision (where I became Mayor). I don’t need no bag from Radio Shack; I have a pocket. I also don’t need no receipt from Definitive Vision, as long as you give me my glasses. That’ll be all the receipt I need.

I also rode though Midtown Crossing & over to Wolhner’s Grovery. Got me some Basa fish, a bacon cheddar twice baked potato for dinner. The turkey sausage wasn’t that impressive, it is no pork sausage. I’m sorry that I didn’t get the real deal.

I then went home & cooked my fish & potato & just relaxed. Making the most of my morning!

Then I headed to work.

The word of the day is hent which is to seize.

Have a GREAT evening & make sure you do whatEVER you want!

Quotes from the World for Friday 02/08/MMXIII

People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.

F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940), U.S. author. Amory Blaine, in “Restlessness,” bk. 2, ch. 2, This Side of Paradise (1920).

Tonight’s Discussion

There is a report from a newspaper that Shamrock Development is planning to build a project at 10th & Capitol(northwest corner). I do not support this in the published report.

A. I’ve e-mailed Mike of Shamrock Development
B. I’m waiting for a response, I guess he doesn’t work evenings.

This is a bad idea for a couple reasons.

I. The City of Omaha doesn’t need to give another government entity $1,400,000.
II. The TIF is a bad idea, ALWAYS is.
III. Giving up the parking lot for the MECA arena, Convention Center, and Stadium is a bad idea.
IV. There is a perfectly fine lot at 14th & Dodge that is willing to accept this kind of developmental in downtown.

More legal discussion

The girl from York, NE who robbed a bank, stole a car & bragged about it on YouTube. She pleaded NOT GUILTY to those crimes. How can this happen time & time again, the disappointment is very high.  I think I shouldn’t did that whole law school thing when I was going to graduate in MMIII. I’d be a lawyer right now, fighting on the side of taxpayers and common sense.

Okay, that’s it for now. I’m done dissecting the media & legal system FOR NOW!

One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.

What do you mean earlier?

Good Morning & Happy Thursday,

What do you mean you had me scheduled earlier. I clearly remember my appointment being Thursday morning. YOU know cause I have Thursday’s off & I got my last shot on Thursday.

Today is Thursday 02/07/V3.3 & it is a double kinda day.

I went to the Medical Doctor to get my shot. I went to the Eye Doctor to get my well eyes checked and new corrective lenses.

I’ve got the laundry in the dryer now, I could’ve washed the dishes. I didn’t, is that going to be a problem? That’s good cause I get off at 20.00, so I will have time before the FNP arrives.

These week’s FNP is sponsored by the number 30. That is the maximum number of points that University of Nebraska Omaha Mavericks (twitter hashtag #OMavsHockey) Hockey Team can have at the end of this weeks series with University of North Dakota Hockey.

The other sponsor of the FNP is Overtime, as it is “unlikely, but possible ” that I may work it from 9 to 12 on Saturday.

Speaking of things to do with UNO Hockey & Saturday. The Omaha Press Club is having a Skybox for the Outdoor game. You can make your reservations until 17.00 tonight. That gives you about 4 hours & some minutes after I post this.

Hold on, the alarm went off for the dryer. I have an extra XI mins, its that ole smart dryer that does think like readjust itself to ensure it is dry.

Just for the record when yelling at the #TeeVee the news people like Deanne can’t here you. YES the people at KMTV decided that #KMTVAction3News is now their official hashtag. I suggested & have used #A3N in the past. They could’ve also went with #KMTV. anything but what they have went with.

YES I’m a hashtag snob, today’s hashtag of the day is #time. Cause by time I realized it was Thursday, I didn’t have a hashtag ready, so I went with time. It is also about time that I go check my clothes again.

We are at 346+ words now. It was 346 when I started typing this sentance, so you know it is going to be above 346.

Did you know you can  Piccolo’s Florist is Nebraska’s Largest Florist (according to their website). …sometimes just because is good enough! & better enough because Valentine’s Day is just 7 Days Away. You can send me some Chocolates and/or Ice Cream to 10910 Mill Valley Rd. Omaha, NE 68154. I’ll be working Valentine’s Day due to me NOT having plans anymore.

The word of the day is gastronomy which is the art or science of good eating. Like a Sausage, Egg, & Cheese bagel from Bruegger’s Bagel.

Here’s a video to end this blog entry. I’ll have more to go, an in-depth review of things that upset me in the last XXIV to XXXVI hours.

This song came out in MMVII.

My Evening Report

Good Evening & Happy Thursday-Eve,

YES today is Wednesday, but if you’re reading The Official Blog of Vernon J. Which you are, then you know that this is my 1st posts of the day.

Today is Wednesday 02/06/V3.3 & it was an ‘I wanna just sleep on this desk at work’

My day started at mere seconds before the alarm went off at 08.28, at least I think it was mere seconds. It could’ve been minutes. That is the benefit of NOT having  a clock in your sleeping area. I approve of that behavior, you should subscribe to it.

The word of the day is feuilleton which is a part of a European newspaper devoted to light literature, fiction, criticism, etc.

Well this is no feuilleton, it is being broadcast live from 41.263518, -95.973273. That’s Latitude and Longitude, it helps people fine their way. In 1884 it was determined by the International Meridian Conference that Greenwich would be the zero-reference line. Dominican Republic voted against this, while France and Brazil abstained. I don’t like people who abstain from a vote. STAND & be counted. btw the leader of Brazil didn’t have a President in 1884, that would explain their abstaining. The President of the Dominican Republic was Francisco Gregorio Billini, and the President of France was Jules Grévy. That’s enough history for now.

My day was more than expected & less then it should’ve been.

I was not at all excited to be at work, I literally wanted to just sleep. Job 1 is boring, and it is boring being there. I NEED MORE!

Had a good time at my connections class this week. Next week is Ash Wednesday & I also become mayor. Winning!!!

I hope you have a good day!!!

Vernon J & I don’t want you to be bald.
