london heathrow

f all the airport i have been to heathrow tops the list of the worst oand if u are handicap i pity you. 62 gates and a train now the fun part is they announce. which gate 1 hour before departure so if ur r at gate one and it is gate 62 you may miss your flight. So i sat myself down for my 11 hour wait after travelling an hour and cursing the fact i brought the extra laptop i made it to the general area and exhausted watched the flights taking of. After 4 hours of this decided to eat and as usual a security type sat down next to me.
I am permanently paranoid i figure it will add a few minutes before i am killed. But that is the fun of traveling talking to CIA agents. I have  exactly 0 affiliations and a muzungo heading to Africa oh well as you can imagine I am the rarest of birds. But my protection is i am simply Dana Quijote a silly old man looking for windmills. Well my strategy works as i sit down at the entrance to the train station. After maybe 5 hours waiting there i get the news all i have to do is take the train. So i get on the train and hear we are out of water and maintenance is on its way. Like this will take a half hour so i immediately change trains and i luckily get to my gate with a lot of extra time but that is just the beginning of the pain as my ass turns into an unstoppable ache. You can only sit so many hours on your ass without sleep for 3 days. But alas i finally arrive in Entebe and some how we have come to this little airport with a stairs down to the tarmac. And the movie raid on Entebe comes to mind oh well movies do have to embellish some i guess. My eyes is infected i am exhausted but finally i have arrived to be with my new wife to be Kafuko. 

uganda

what a thrill to  see uganda and kenya duke it out for 26 miles and 3113 first across the finish line and kenyans 2nd and 3rd who trained in eldoret kenya is this a sign that my trip to uganda will fulfill my dream of helping blind girls the most disavantaged group in the world. But i dpn't know what will happen there i will have a new wife kafuko and 6 children last time i was surprised by a two month old baby and learned a lot visiting the clinics while waiting in line i was asked to check my hiv status which was negative will this trip produce surprises. one never knows. here is my wish list a good computer a professional camera purple corn leds and braille books. Anyway wish me luck.

Good bye girl say hi to Whitney you were my first love

failure

Dear sir,

I am a failure. I can't keep a job. I have worked for over 50 different companies.(IBM, Johns Hopkins, air force, joint chiefs of staff) ...

I wrote a macro assembler for intel 8080 and the kid Bill Gates took the idea and did well so again i was failure. I am off to uganda to open a school for blind girls. Obviously i will fail at this. Before I leave you should invite me to lecture at your college so that others may learn how to be a failure also. I have never had a teacher tell me I would succeed  the only complement i cherish is dr massoff head of laboratory at wilmer eye institute of johns Hopkins who told me i was the most creative person he ever met. Soon i will disappear into the heart of Africa probably to die there. I am 69 years old i died about 5 years ago fell through the roof of my garage 8 ribs broken and also broken back., Anyway being a failure i have no money so you would have to send me expense money i understand
I am the antithesis of your school and don't believe  education is  done right. Please respond and tell me I am a failure so I can be motivated.

Namaste

Life

Recently i have the opportunity to not be engaged in nothing more than thought. So my attention turned to the idea of life and the other side of life. And more recently to decouple from the idea that life after death is a human condition where is the line only mammals ... In an afterlife are there a trillion cows roaming the expanse the of the unknown on the pastures of the other side. If one open the class from human life to all life then then the characteristics of the afterlife expands by many orders of magnitudes. So we need to posit a theory so we can throw stones at it. Theories are like that, they have to survive.So here we go. Now I am sure there are others who may have aligned with this theory but here we are talking about me and my quest to live with the roar of the distant sound of the waterfall(death) or as the tarot portrays death as a transition. The theory i want to posit is that life force is another dimension and when a person or a fly is born it sucks life force into the present 4 dimensions and when life ends it returns to that dimension but as a formless force. But not as an instant transfer but as butter on a hot skillet. Slowly melting until the entity returns to the mono entity of life force.

Goodbye I will always love you

An apology

I wrote a blog a few weeks ago which I deleted asking people to help me set up a school for blind girls in Africa. After thinking about it I felt ashamed to ask someone to help me. All my life I have shunned help from others except from my family. So I don't want to share the triumph which shall be mine and my family in Africa. Changing the world one blind person at a time. Savoring each and everyone in my new family of blind women. AS I focused on the task ideas came flooding in and i can conservatively say I could keep a patent attorney busy for the rest of his life. Topics like teaching blind people to see colors. I remember my metaphysics class at Cornell University where we built a world out of color patches. Teaching blind girls how to run. Self defense for blind girls. Teaching blind girls how to program. And so on. And I am sorry I don't want to share that so keep ur money. And when the world needs me I will be there with my African family to save you all. Namaste

Going to Heaven

ok now you are saying i am going to get all religious on u but you are wrong. I recently watched a video by a professor on stem cells it seems if we put stem cells in different environment they produce different type of cells. Which means if we have an environment like heaven then we are in heaven. For me Africa is heaven. The climate is perfect no snow, no hurricanes, friendly people, lots of kids not old and helpless. Do you know what it is like having children want to touch you. I passed a school in Kisumu at closing and I am sure I shook hands with 50 children. Everywhere children saying "how are you?" And there smiles always warming my heart. That is heaven. 

WHEN MEDICINE FAILS

Hello fellow grasshoppers. I never thought i would be in a position I am in now. But sadly I am. I went to my Dr. as I have an infected toe she prescribe medicine for the toe and f0r a ring worm infection. And also an appointment for a podiatrist. I have been doing well and have $125.00 in the bank so happily i run down to Walmart and give them the prescription well i almost fell over it was $87.00 and the cost of a specialist on my plan was $35.00 my car was reading empty so another $10.00 a total of $133.00 so what do I do? like a lot of elderly I compromise I refuse the prescription and ignore the specialist. Now my Dr is probably most mad a me but what can I do? Id rather eat than have a well toe. After my ssi check comes I will reevaluate in 14 days. I almost cried as a woman behind me offered to pay half of my prescription i thanked her but refused.I can't bend over to change the bandage so if my son were not here i would be unable to change bandage. Now when in Kenya I went to pharmisist she gave me an antibiotic for $1.00 and that got me by until returning to usa. Now if I had to go to emergency room the cost would be zero. you buy a small book for $1.00 and pay for your medicine. My insulin cost $28.00 at Walmart in Kenya $15.00 and my furosimide ten cents a pill. So what is my solution if it gets bad i go to emergency room $65.00 and eat.  Of course the people in USA are considered so stupid that they can't figure out what to do so we have laws to protect us so we don't hurt ourselves by taking medicine. Go figure. At some point our society will grid lock as so many lawsuits will prohibit us from going to a dr. Hey Mr. Romney where is my safety net? 

You are not blind only poor

Hello girls (my students in Kampala) Many of you may feel your life has been stolen from you with your blindness. But I am here to tell you that is just silly thinking. You are poor not blind. If I can't see well I go to an optometrist and he tests me to see what corrective lenses will restore my sight. Well my dears what you need is a magician who will tell you how lucky you are. Glasses for blind people here in Africa are extremely cheap I do believe for a dollar a day you can rent these glasses. In the USA it will cost you about $8.00 an hour or $80.00 a day. I have a friend of mine who complained he could not do something because he couldn't see. i said hire someone to be your eyes. And that is why you are so fortunate because glasses are so cheap here. And of course you are going to say but even though they are cheap here I have no money.And again grasshoppers I am going to say how silly of you.  Because I am here to teach you that being blind allows you to do things others can't do. The rest of the world has become blind but not you. Again grasshoppers listen carefully to me. The world now has tv movies cars cell phones all these things distract you so you can't see the world as it really is. But you can because you can focus. And there are many occupations where someone who can do this will be paid very well. And lucky you standing here before you is a teacher with 46 years experience and who may be the best in his field(caveat no one knows for sure). I have earned up to $6,000 dollars a week doing what I am going to teach you. Now many will say I can't do that I know nothing of computers. Again grasshoppers how lucky you are. Because I can't teach you, if you think you know then I have to destroy this knowledge so we can start from the beginning. I have spent my whole adult life learning the truth because one thing for sure is a computer programmer can't lie to himself. Why because whatever he codes produces results bad or good. Now a normal programmer may produce 10 lines of code a day I can produce hundreds if not some times thousands. And the secret is the ability to focus. You lucky grasshoppers. And so your new world is beginning at this very moment and the only thing in your way is you. Start opening your mind and heart and learn read learn etc and for godsakes go get your people glasses.

god fearing

can someone tell me why i need to fear god?

on the trail again

I am searching again for a new adventure but the people who know me understand i never do anything  for one reason it has to be something on many levels. Why Africa because the future of humanity lies there. When humanity wants to break out of its shell or cocoon the best place is Kenya and Mt Kenya. Kenya is a beautiful place full of friendly liars and thieves they need to grow up so give then 50 years and then we will see paradise on earth and the spaceport will be there lifting mankind into space. Wouldn't you have liked to buy Microsoft stock way back when well this is like that. My advice go to Nanyuki or Meru and buy land lots of land anywhere as close as possible to Mt Kenya. I tried my best to find people but they are still children thinking of only themselves maybe the next generation will produce some exceptions. I wanted to start a school for blind girls but got close to the school for the blind in Thika but never made it. Why blind girls because they may hold the future of Kenya in there hands. Silly isn't it? Not if I am on there side. Because I am a creator or in current parlance a programmer. I create things and what better pool to pull from than those who have nothing. A strange man that I am but self confidence is not lacking. Why because I have done what others can not do. That is my lot in life to be lonely because no one can keep up with me. I destroy women because I create a picture in my mind and I know things about people even they don't know and I have tools my God do I have tools because for 52 years I have explored the mind and found many secrets. Anyway that is a level I share alone so don't worry about it. I have faced death and comforted those who are dying so I am ready to die as long as I keep fighting the good fight and die trying I can smile when my black woman holds me in her arms as I pass on to the next life ah that is good. Take care grasshoppers

Term that refers to one who is a novice, a greenhorn, a student/disciple, a subordinate, or just simply ignorant. Has its origins from the "Kung Fu" television series from the 1970s, starring David Carradine as the Shaolin priest Kwai Chang Caine. As a young student at the Shaolin temple, Caine, in his youthful ignorance, takes pity on a blind Shaolin master, believing the master's blindness to be a terrible affliction. The master quickly corrects Caine, illustrating that despite his blindness, his awareness of the world is much higher than Caine's -- for example, the master takes notice of the grasshopper at Caine's feet whereas Caine does not.
