The Native Iowan

Bro,
OK, been busy…. bizzy… life cranks while I wanks… I’m sitting at the table at the back of the house. 4pm my time, a variety of bird activity going on around me. We have nesting plovers right by the pool, Butcher Pieds trying to rear babies on the window sill at the front of the house. It is all a sign of encroachment, but also a sign that we get along well with the birds… they are comfortable living in close proximity to us… We’re generous with our space and encourage the bird life… and the foxes, and snakes, and lizards. not so much spiders. They’re sneaky fucks.
I’m writing this out back of the house. It is a pleasant time of day. The air is cool, the surroundings green and the end day routines of life are in full swing.
I am going to a) send This it to you, because I am writing it to you and responding to some of our recent SMS discussions, but b) blog it. It’ll be a blog-worthy discussion…
Two White Ibis peck the lawn around the plover nest. I think they’re looking for a chance to rush the nest and steal an egg. All birds lie, are crafty. The other day I found a dry, half egg shell, about the size of a big marble. Did not know what bird it came from but something had that egg, et what was inside and left detritus behind.
Wrestling and the meaning of life… your quote… “ … And wrestlers learn to grind early on or they quit.”… Indeed, An important point in life. Maybe an allegory of note herein, somewhere… Pussies quit… Your quote… “Too many pussies in the world.”… thus, ergo, if you don’t quit you are by nature a wrestler. And I really like that concept. I’m glad I’m a Rassler.
Spoke to a good friend recently who told me of a bout with depression that required a call to LIFE-LINE”. Which is great that life-line is there, but rather telling about our world and the stresses on us. My friend I speak of is tough. Tough as… But at times all of us stop being tough and TAP-OUT. Or ask for help. Anyone reading this, if you ever need to talk, give me a call.
Speaking of UFC… your words… “ The way Gaethje dismantled Ferguson showed this kid is legit. Everything else is side show.”… You got it! Spot on. It can be pay-to-see blood-sport or it is can be Blood-Sport. Big difference. If it ain’t legit, it is indeed a sideshow.
I have written before of UFC becoming a SideShow. I specifically reference the UFC 200 where Leznar, all juiced up, got to win against Mark Hunt. That was a SIDEshow.
Cognitive dissonance… Is real. Is a problem. Similar but different to Confusing Cacophony. I see it as signal interference. A bent antenna can cause static interference.
If the Magnetic-Mary on your dash board causes your radio to buzz… it gotta go…
Remember the song, “Plastic Jesus”…

… “..Magnetic Mary gotta go, she’s fucking up my radio… riding on the dashboard of my car…”…
I dont care if it rains or freezes… because I live in the tropics… If it snowed here we’d be in grief. Things are not built for it. If a heavy snow fall, the roofs would collapse.
OK, Onto voting….
My ol Compadre, Ken TW Holmes, has the coolest Political bumper sticker I have ever seen…. I VOTE LIBRARIAN… Ken is a professional librarian. So ultra way cool to be Ken TW.

Walter Concrete and his buds are long gone. Grace and I just discussing it this afternoon… it’s ENTERTAINMENT, it’s RATINGS… Not really about News…
That why I call it The NeWz.
Or The BlueZ….
SMiles all around
