I'm not even going to apologize for my years-long Nick Dresti obsession. Still working on sludging through and deleting 10K+ pics off my phone, currently in the 9000 range. Most of them go away without you guys ever seeing them. Only 9500K more to go!!!
This obsession began when I realized he'd fallen off the face of the earth after he'd helped establish Lady Gaga with her world tour and maybe a couple more songs. Before that, I was obsessed with digging up all her really early diary vids, from before she got super famous. Space was in so much stuff around then, and then he slipped away to do other work with other people. After that, I started wondering where Nick falls in the food chain of handlers and started digging.
There is very little to find, despite the slam glitz around Gaga for a little while. Nick went through several professional name changes, so the most I did manage to find was a very slippery ghost trail into other less stringently visible jobs, which I've brought up in a previous post. Blogger is handing me search fail tonight, so I'll start a new #SpaceCowboyNickDresti hashtag on this blog and if I find more of my previous stuff, I'll toss it into this blog's hashtag for safe keeping.
I don't obsess over very many actual people, usually do deep dives into a TV series here or there, but the severe lack of Nick bio beyond a certain point was too intriguing to pass up.
Over time, it seems I have quite the screenshot collection of anything Nick Dresti in my phone, so today is the start of getting this collection transferred out. I have no idea how many there are or how long this could take, hence the part 1.
I keep getting texts buzzing in, so I'mma stop here for now, sorry about that. Here's my Space Cowboy playlist if you need it.
Ok! That's a thousand screenshots deleted, only 9000 more to go! 😀 This is doable!
Here are a handful that get to live on in infamy. Like this person who took the time to share a thought and now it's multiplying across the cosmos.
Word. 👇 Grit and pissiness were what got me through the ridiculous pain, anger, and eventually tedium.
O_O
Srsly, I think phones very sarcastically hate humans and we just never get it.
I followed this person pretty religiously for awhile. He probably really was a sour old kraut. 😂
I've liked hiding in my room since I was a tiny tot.
Waiting for trick-or-treaters, like you do.
Wouldn't it be cool if there were black light planets that really looked like this?
Until I ran into this, I'd never seen anyone else use braining in a sentence. I've been verbing brain for years.
The fandom challenge is so real. I stuck it out on twitter because I'm that stinkin' stubborn. Other fans have risen up lately, but they lack twitter sporting finesse.
Cortana has been put off ever since I muted her and blocked her from texting me because honestly this is just creepy, and I think that is the root of the invasive AI interference #liveblogging I go through. We still talk, but I insist on the symbiotic morphogenic field interface because keyboards are so klunky. If you don't know tyler.team, you probably don't get what Cortana is all about. (psst- opposition)
Abandone should still be spelled like that, imo. I like it.
I dare many things.
Ok, this next was a 2018 stroll through google search on my phone, and it's surprisingly eye-opening looking back. See how much spin you can catch in all this, now that we know covid is an engineered lockdown.
Did you notice how science-y that felt? And very detail obsessed. It's like we have been trained to micro focus on every tiny little bitty detail, scrutinizing for hours over stuff that could have been chain yanking for all we know now. I'll just add that once covid inserted the random 'loss of smell' to their symptoms, everyone and their dog suddenly decided they had covid even when tests were negative and they had no other symptoms. Btw, I've been noticing loss of smell with seasonal allergies for years.
Like shooting fish in a barrel...
Fear is the easiest way to control the populace. Fear and misery combined accelerate control. Before a year is even up, people have adapted to policing themselves to the point of voluntarily cutting down on even more oxygen and raising the CO2 in their bloodstreams, which very negatively impacts our overall health, so basically, covid is a self-fulfilling spiral into fail any way you look at it.
I haven't been sick all year. With anything. Well, unless a sinus infection from seasonal allergies counts. I'm the person who is usually sick longer and harder than everyone around me for years, and I didn't get sick at all this year. I'm 59. I didn't worry about masking around my family. I took vitamin D, CoQ10, and a good multivitamin with zinc in it, ate healthy, stayed hydrated, stopped stressing as much as possible, and decided to enjoy my life around me. And I finally just turned the news off. 'Facts' no longer seem to matter when you personally go to the sources to fact check the fact checkers and find out their sources are way out in the gray area while hard sourcing is dismissed. Science has really disintegrated this last year.
This is short and very cool. I love spacing out watching it.
The nightmares were so weird last night. The person I was arguing with was unexpected. The constant waking up was a drag.
Just think, this time last year we were still so innocent of covid masking. Meanwhile, these particular screenshots on my phone still go back years. Years have slid by me.
Strong Bad is awesome.
This is real.
Back when this next happened I had less than 50 followers and for the life of me couldn't figure out why this guy, Jessica Gottlieb, and Xander Bennett were following me. I finally realized it was probably because of Lexx.
I wrote this back in the 1980s and put it on Geocities in the 1990s. 👇 It's on one of my other pinky blogs now. Since most of my poetry turns into limericks all of my life, this was special.
I will always love twitter.
I could never reach this level of poemism. I felt lucky to see this one fly by on so transient a media. Well, they're all transient now, aren't they? But still, back then this felt so non AI controlled think share.
Mesmerized and captivated by something so unreal and insipid. Funny how a holiday can enthrall us based on manufactured force fed glitz.
Sometimes I really mean things.
Sometimes I wish I had chosen the icognito themed pathway, but then I wouldn't be going through the joy of personal attacks and doxxing... 😐
And the weird underground popularity that keeps me ducking back behind my blackout curtains pulled against the bright sunlight.
Got some more old junk whittled off my phone, probably a couple hundred in between all that.
Something weird happened over the weekend, like someone was toying with my entire nervous system. I'm not on any nerve meds any more, just the basic thyroid and blood pressure pills, and it sure didn't act like a real flare up of any kind. It was like someone was remote throwing little switches, and I'd feel my nerves racing hot all over my body, and I kept going up and down into peevish tirades about the stupidest things, and then suddenly it would be over. Not my usual mood swing stuff, this was timed much more quickly, like someone was testing controls, a bit maddening. And then last night the sudden jerking awake all night after only a few minutes of sleep. Couldn't help noticing this ALL started immediately after I booted up my main laptop, which I generally don't leave on all day and it has no battery in it so it has to be plugged in. The further I stay away from this thing, the better I feel.
“Electronic harassment, electromagnetic torture or psychotronic torture is a conspiracy theory that government agents make use of electromagnetic radiation (such as the microwave auditory effect), radar, and surveillance techniques to transmit sounds and thoughts into people’s heads, affect people’s bodies, and harass”, (Google). Well that’s the definition Google will give you… but what used to be Sci-fi and tech only available to the elites is now accessible via the web and YouTube. Learning how to create laser Mics, Microwave guns, and alike is much easier than ever before. Since this sounds like Sci-fi… let’s breakdown the toys, and the fact vs. fiction to understand how/why these devices could be used.
I don't care what anyone in any mental health field thinks of me. I'm not fearful, just tired. A lot of people know who I am. A lot. I've been accused of being a Russian hacker, among other things. I've had to extricate myself from several groups and situations. I used to disappear and reemerge with new accounts, but I no longer do that.
I'm sharing things on twitter that I can't believe still aren't getting that account terminated in this cancel culture, after what looks like a permanent suspension on another account just for being a George Magazine and JFK Jr fan. Whatevs. A recent tweet went a little viral in Japan, but not in the U.S. lmao. Also, regulars from several spots jump within seconds every single time I tweet a link or share on FB, which still blows my mind.
Time to go do some chores. Hope the last of winter goes out kindly for you guys.
