Hey everybody.
Happy Superb Owl!
I’ve gotten myself sorted, new job, digging into the new year with gusto.
Lots of thanks and gratitude to many of you out there for your thoughts, prayers, and general cheerleading.
Behold: creativity has returned!
I have finally figured out the end to Mr. Snatchum, which I’m VERY excited about.
I have also been researching a cool way to report in this space.
A quick comment about my plans for Substack: I have decided I don’t have the time to spit out a novel in progress in these pages every week. Once I have some books complete, we’ll see. But I’ll be redoing some of my site and Indinia Jonesing it (making it up as we go along).
And my next update I actually made into our newsletter for this week:
So, my road into releasing a creature-fueled series of bizarre stories on Tale Teller didn’t really sprout wings, (despite getting thousands of views.) As it turn out it’s not easy to get even a plus one to do a podcast with me. So, yes, this crazy dude who saw a mermaid is going to swim in saner, geekier waters.
Yet, I can’t resist pointing out some facts.
I released my story on Halloween. It’s a strange, lonely feeling to tell a story like that I feel is as true as I know it to be, yet my logical brain is throwing eggs at my face.
Oh, but then the real world threw some shennanigans our way.
Very quietly at the end of last year, drowned out by the ridiculous noise and fallout of the presidential election in the U.S. was one of the final congressional sessions. Want to guess what the topic was?
Try this sucker on for size:
UFO whistleblowers tell Congress 'we are not alone in the cosmos' (video)
Huh. Nice and casual right?
Shrug. Just your run of the mill National Enquirer typical headline from the ’80’s and ’90’s. But that was when some crackpot writer cooked up a headline to provoke buying power as you were checking out with your groceries. Such articles were usually accompanied by a fourth-rate Photoshop of an alien in sunglasses and a trenchcoat. You know, serious stuff.
But Congressional session on Capital Hill? These weren’t the muppets doing a sketch. These were our elected officials, both sides of the aisle, equally engaged.
And then we start getting headlines like this:
UFO is "moving at hundreds of miles an hour underwater," Republican congressman says
Okay… And this:
What Donald Trump's Allies are Saying About Aliens
Ridiculous right? I mean this stories are coming from really skectchy sources like Space.com, CBS, NPR, and Newsweek! (Yes, I’m being sarcastic.)
Some of you might say, okay so just politicians are going overboard. It’s a silly little fad. Nope.
Everyone is in this conga line.
Take Smartless, a podcast I enjoy hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. They had the authority on UAP’s, Luis Elizondo – former Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, as their last guest of 2024 saying that our world as we know it will be turned upside down in the next 5-10 years by the truth that is really out there.
Holy X-Files!
It’s nuts, right? Yet, nobody is talking about it. Well, those of us not wearing tinfoil caps anyway.
These National Enqurier headlines are now headlines from credible sources, being studied by most all governments, the stuff is now mainstream out in plain sight and, drumroll please… gets no public reaction.
Has fake news accepted as dogma so obliterated our radar to yellow journalism that aliens can start midnight racings clubs down The Strip in Las Vegas and we won’t bat an eye?
Well, that wasn’t exactly the case 87 years ago when a 23-year-old genius punked a nation.
But say a widely respected former Navy Fighter Pilot appearing on Joe Rogan and 60 Minutes then testifying under oath to a House Oversight Committee that Tic Tac UAP’s are real?
Meh. Too honest.
Man, the aliens must be jazzed. “You mean, we can get real cozy right among them and… no reaction?”
I have no idea what it all means, I’m just taking the stance of an amused observer, but it is very interesting.
So, I don’t know, maybe five years from now when you remember my goofy story about seeing this thing in the water:
Remember: you heard it here first!
So THESE kind of musings I’ve realized, are the cool things that fuel Substack. We can do what we want each week and fall into line with what’s interesting to us.
(Note, I won’t be exploring the boundaries of sanity every week.)
Don’t look now, my goodness, there are a TON of celebrities on this site. Talk about an invasion. But they are three years behind a lot of us blue collar Substackers testing out ideas and content. They are used to environments where you have to shout the loudest to be heard, no such nonsense here.
I like leaving polarization to sunglasses quite frankly.
Have a great Sunday, don’t spend your money betting on silly things like how many Taylor Swift golf cart rides we’ll be forced to endure.
As always, I appreciate your support, please let me know how I’m doing, and please don’t stop worrying about me. ;-)
Until next time.
