read.crumb(salvage,salcedo,logic,sower,gilbert)

#note.//20170927
In an effort to finish some of this non-work related reading, I've made and put this read breadcrumb on my thoughtStream so that:
1. the read objects don't get lost.
2. they get read.
3. this forms a node for linked data objects on my stream(s).

I've formed bundles of reads before, but some of the books didn't get read. Hopefully, this breadcrumb will be found again and again on my thoughtStream until all the books get read, and hopefully be interlaced with other thougthStream object. I've given myself till 2018, one year to finish. It should be plenty of time, no?

I've pinned this post until December 31, 2018 at 11:30PM.

#note.//20181025
I've only finished Parable of the Sower! I can't even find the book, Salvaged Pages. It's somewhere in my boxes, still not unpacked since moving back to LA from Boston.

Horn Concerto No. 3 (Mozart)

#note.//
20181025.I'm repeating past behaviors. I started to listen to piano sonatas and concertos in my youth (20s-30), and now re-listening the CDs I bought. I also listened to Mozart's horn concerto #1. With new technology, I can just grab the MP3 and play off the USB. Yes. Yes. Eventually we can stream everything for free. Trying #3 for first time

A Spell for Chameleon

#author.Piers Anthony
#published.1977


#note.//
This is a book I read in my youth, somewhere in the early 80s. It is the first in the Xanth series of I don't know how many books. I read a lot of them! They mostly involve quests! Young characters seeking their identity. Now at 49yr (2018), I hope to have found my magical powers already. And perhaps I am like Bink, a paradox. 

Spoiler alert!
Bink is main character. He is seeking answers to his identity. In a land of magic, he seems to have none. Are you like me, like he, like JoJoBrand3 in three?

No magical powers, yet we have in some higher order dimension, along some variance, magician level divergences! Some of us will be clustered together by the Harry Porter Sorting Hat algorithm into this identity, the identity of JoJoBrand3.

Fire Upon the Deep

#note.//A book I read in graduate school, or was it earlier? One of my favorite within the Zones of Thought series. I highly recommend reading them. The books introduce the Tines. I don't want to ruin it for you, but Vernon uses this literary device to explore some pretty cool ideas about highly cooperative groups of interlaced individuals.

We should read it, if we want to be part of JoJoBrand3!

Salvaged Pages

#note.//
I got a chance to visit the Museum of Tolerance with Pete and Lil (2017). I listened to one survivor tell her story-- so much shouting and yelling and barking dogs; infants thrown out the second floor to a waiting dump truck; surviving, meeting her husband, moving to Minnesota-- moving to Los Angeles.

Every week she goes to the museum and repeats her story, and it is still emotionally exhausting, but she goes so we won't forget.

I stood in a simulated gas chamber and watched videos of how our Community kills itself.

When I returned to Boston, I got a chance to see in the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art, “Memory Unearthed”. I saw rare photos of life inside the Lodz Ghetto during its existence from 1940 to 1944. The photographs had been taken by Polish Jewish photojournalist Henryk Ross (1910–1991).

Juxtaposed next door were other pieces that show across time and culture, how we've always pitted us vs them, you vs. me. Self vs non-self. I saw a ancient Chinese vase painted over with a New Order Red inscription.

After the exhibit, I bought Salvaged Pages

The included entries start in April 1938, around when he turned 14. I'm a man in my later forties.2017 reflecting on a boy.me before the violence.trauma.chaos.killing happens. I feel alternatively like both Hanna and Michael in Der Vorleser.

introduction:
They were an assimilated family. We know what's going to come and can't help shouting at them to MOVE! Yet, they are like us, rooted. It's so difficult to become refugees, and most countries didn't want to take any Jew refugees, even the USA. I can only sympathize with my parents, uncles, aunts, and all their extended network of family and friends who moved. The fear was.is real.

In the Hour of Chaos, the future is full of fear.

Time Enough At Last

#note.//
One of the original Twilight Zone episodes that likes to pop up in my streams.
It came online in 1959, but I watched it in the 80s (probably) and therefore I labelled it as 1980s. All the dates are a reference to me and not we.

Sorry

#note.//I used Beyonce's 'Lemonade' line "bomb pussy" in my poem.HP

#quote.//
So what are you gonna say at my funeral now that you've killed me?
Here lies the body of the love of my life, whose heart I broke without a
gun to my head. Here lies the mother of my children, both living and dead.
Rest in peace my true love, who I took for granted most bomb pussy. Who
because of me, sleep evaded. Her shroud is loneliness, her God was listening.
Her Heaven, will be a love without betrayal. Ashes to ashes. Dust to side chicks.
