Genus Nostrus

Posted by Niven on August 12, 2008

Genus Nostrus

Genus Nostrus
Quis esse terrestris et in caelum divinitus
et loci obscuri utinam
Essete nomina vos sacraras et sanctus
Posse utinam domua vos cum certus constare auxilium
pro arae et foci
Operi vos nec essete dissipare in ille orbis neque orbia terrae et caelum divitus
Posse dies in dies valerestis pascere ipse
Venia datate ipse delictum tuum et delictum vos
Vel quando tibi veniam non datisti
Nil sequite in ille illecebrae detrimentum captum fueritis
Et liberare ipse ab malus qui laterunt
Habestis ille hereditis de domos memoria cadere, ex animo effluere
et ille facultas curatum esse pro hoc iterum
Per reminisci qui cogitas deperebas eras ille verba manifestus fiam iterum.

Project Desk Memorization

Posted by Niven on August 7, 2008

#1 Institutions and 3 star tatooed generals. He said he was Mexican from Jewish lineage.

He also told me he was the angel of Death. Paraphrasing, He asked me if I need anything done.

I said no.

#2 That other person in question always told me to remember. Specifically at the most odd times. At least I thought they were odd. Especially after he said something metaphorically or just casually mentioned things. I’m starteing to remember odds and ends. I don’t know what it means and I’m out of sorts about it. Especially remembering driving to the outskirts of towns. We went to farm country and nothing was there but a mailbox. He got his government check and showed it to me as proof that he worked for the government.

Other bits and pieces coming to the surfaces of my memory.

Editorial Comment

Posted by Niven on August 3, 2008

Dear Little Birdy:

Thank you for letting us know that it was not the van itself that was at issue.

It was what was in the van when it was bought…(out in the back 40 as you were)

that was the significant event. Note that most people, including delaerships, don’t carry around dealers tags with them on the off chance that they are buying a car.

Yes, we agree that large devices can fit in a van like that and if it does happen next time….which we hope it does not, that you will keep a swatch of the fabric for the curtains for the van windows.

And if it did get washed, your fingerprints will not be there anymore.

Yes, things do go Poof! in the middle of the hood and disappear better than David Copperfield could ever perform.

Love ya,

 

Peace out,

#frosted42
