– Draelen & Nikki in Dreamland – Cropped –
—> I’ve been fighting to fix and upgrade/update several blogs that other creative characters started and I’ve been hosting their stuff on my web site – Getting the passwords right is a nightmare –
—> With a dinner break watching several interesting people do their honest and ethical best on YouTube I wanted to write down as quick and concise as I could – the stuff I learned in this life that may or may not answer their questions and hopefully calm their nerves about what exactly is going on in this world these days – meanwhile – the ‘free’ FTP client that stopped working for me = well… I tried to download their still free – maybe not the most user friendly thing in the world – but it was sort of almost working for me – even if it did conk out before it finished anything I needed it to do – and that was in the past – well —> trying to download it —> all their deceptive ‘click here for your free download’ links started downloading a new search engine called ‘Cubbie’ that I didn’t want – I stopped it before it finished downloading – I did not install it – but today when I tried to do stuff with my firefox browser – every time I clicked to open a new page Cubbie popped up and said – the thing I downloaded changed my supposedly blank page and preferences into something from Yahoo – with a completely different look and —> gaaaaa! —> and after three attempts at deleting the damned thing it finally wasn’t there to hijack my computer – If it comes back I might be tempted to start a gofundme page to hire a destructive maniac to find whoever is behind that piece of doo doo app and make them sorry they were ever born. —> Shrug – mame now, repent later? That’s not me… Letting off steam… that’s me.

—> So anyway – the above cropped screen shot from the game we were building for more than a dozen years is from a ‘dreams’ journal called “Evokateurs Anonymous” —> Evokateurs are people who dream dreams and then bring those dreams into tangible form – example? Walt Disney – One of the silly personality tests I took around the year 1999 said I scored as an Evokateur as my working style. That and maybe a twenty dollar bill might get me a cup of coffee almost anywhere these days { “Just until after the revolution” ? to quote graffiti on a bill board in the wild and crazy early 1970’s ??? }
—> And now I’m hearing Richie Havens singing “Oo oo child, things are gonna get easier…” and smiling and trying to send him a message in the next world thanking him for being here when we really needed him.
—> Sigh – So now – with all all the wind stolen from my sails – I bid you all sweet dreams and “sleep with the angels” – which I learned was a Russian version that did not mean “drop dead” it meant something more like “may the angels feed you happy & encouraging dreams” –
—> Bon Soir, Y’all –
