Man With A Kite Looks at the Drone

Yes I am still on leave from chess and for that matter from tennis too. I ran into an old tennis acquaintance at the Home Depot a place I often hang out and no I was not in my wheel chair but walking around like a normal guy with an armful of hardware stuff. It boiled down to My not playing tennis anymore but only rarely due to my interest in online chess and the fact that I am battling Parkinson's classified as being moderate. Chess like I've been saying all along should be played like the Magnus Larsen way play chess because it is fun. As a kite flyer who uses my own kite launcher this hobby of mine like all hobbies has its drawbacks. It is marked by the frustrations of the kite fl ring in any direction God wants it to fly. Yes it is true it is me against God when I have my kites launched into the heavens and when God wants to he can strike my kite down at any time. A kite will always get caught up in a tree or stuck in your house or the house of a neighbors. I say to all mothers and tell your children not to do what I have done. I have lived my life in sincere misery in the house of the kites which are bound to crash and get caught by the kite eating trees and the roofs of building dwellings. Chess does not have this problem. But as yet I am not prepared to return to the chess game in fact I may never play again I really don't know I have not a clue. I fear that the simplicity of this blog is comparable to the novel "Catcher In The Rye" by JD Salinger. Bill Gates read that book as well as I. Bill Gates and I have so much in common it is pathetic except his assets are far more than mine being in the neighborhood of some sixty billion more than what I have not. And we both dropped out of college. Okay so you are asking what is my point? If anyone and many have read "Catcher In The Rye" then anyone can read this blog Nerves Galore" because it too is so simple that you don't have to be a genius like Bill Gates to read such a book. Yes grown man such as myself is writing about the pursuits of kite flying. Insane you say. I do see beauty in the model aircraft which can fly and I have been teased by the toy remote controlled helicopter a hovering toy something with which was not invented when I was a child but have discovered with glee that it flies indoors with dependability. But these types of hovering aircraft(model) don't fly worth beans outdoors. I know I tried them and loss a fortune on those one hundred a dollar toy helicopter designed for outdoors. I was taken deceived into thinking that since they worked so well indoors the outdoor ones would also work well. Fast forward to drones. As most of us know drones do work and they can and will hover indoors and even better outdoors. It is indeed in the cards and I will fly the remote controlled drone thousands if not millions of us do so then why not you or me?

Being Too Tall Is Quite Permissible In Basketball

Okay so I am on leave from chess and I think I can return. Meanwhile I have taken up other hobbies and find them quite rewarding. In fact I find that I believe that I have talent in these various hobbies of mine never before realized. And does gratification come about? It does come about more than one could realize. The feel for accomplishment beats the feel for failure any time. I am Chinese and in fact I was watching television something I have cut way back on since I have so many hobbies. ON the tube it showed a comedy concerning that everything made is made in China. And it is true. Everyone knows it as sure as they know that to day is today and tomorrow will be the next day. So if I am Chinese (and I am) and everything is made in China then…no…no way. It appears that if any thing I can so represent the thought process of a Chinese because as anyone can see I not only look Chinese but as anyone who has known me I have testified that indeed I am from the long term contacts of the people I have known for years such as the community members who have attended my church since I was knee high they can and will testify who I am and where I have been. Besides my sisters who have known me but with one in particular who no longer speaks to me I am known. In other words I must account for everything I write and say in a mass media market and I have been held to task. What I have attempted to prove in this posting is that tall people in particular men who have practiced the game can indeed outperform other players shorter than them. Even in the animal world the focus on animals other than humans (in this case giraffes) would certainly be the candidate for the type to compete as the victor in basketball and I have seen in person the animals just a few days ago as I ambled my way around thinking of these creatures tall and prime to fit and be trained to put a ball through a hoop. To my knowledge however I have never heard of a giraffe being trained to play basketball. Damn I wish I had asked the trainers while I was at the zoo viewing the huge long necks of the giraffes since without a doubt they are the tallest creatures of the animal kingdom but chances it was a good decision that I did not do so least they would have run me on of the zoo as just another looney tune. And as serious minded as I can be writing about chess and now the news I say the format for the news should be changed and journalism should take on a new lead; it doesn't have to be so serious all the time. It is okay to be silly every now and then because the business of the news should not always be serious and tragic just to sell the news. If we were allowed to be silly every now and then maybe there would be less depressed people after all who can disagree that laughter can be the best medicine? So don't mind me as I have been laughing all they way every time I come back from the zoo. It can be so cool to be big and tall especially in basketball. And let me tell you about the zoo…
