Man! Dude! Session #208

(D)ude: Man! I’m beginning to understand Taylor Swift’s frustration and problems with John Mayer. I’ve come across his song “Say” from his album Continuum over and over again today on Apple Radio. I think I know John Mayer’s soul too and to have him individualize his lyrics to a particular gal or guy, like Taylor Swift or me, would have me gritting my teeth and wanting to write an entire album about John Mayer’s heartlessness too.

(M)an: Dude! Did you set one of your Apple Radio channels to Enya? I’d be hurting too if I had to listen to songs about picking oneself up in any situation and all circumstances.

D: Man! Did you know that you’re allotted only six song skips in a row per hour?

M: Dude! Just add another station to the mix of stations you already got. It’s rather simple. And, don’t worry about accidental purchases. You’ll have to reenter your iTunes account identification and password and confirm each buy beforehand.

D: Man! Talking about accidentals, I had promised to look after my thirteen-year-old nephew last night and overslept through his stay myself. He admitted to having stayed up late and gotten a whiff of Canadian-born Senator from Texas Ted Cruz on one of the channels and actually feeling compelled to press the record button on the television remote. He could not figure out whether Cruz had lost sense of place and time in his 21-hour spiel and began to reveal his collective subconscious as if the broadcast were the medicine cabinet mirror in his personal bathroom at home.

M: Dude! Didn’t your nephew get his homework done and go back to school this morning?

D: Man! Ted Cruz got him, I think, super motivated to get to school and enroll in two sciences instead of the drama and art electives he was considering just days before. And, this is quite unlike him, my nephew actually is considering college admissions and looking into what the library carries in terms of the PSAT and SAT preparation.

M: Dude! That’s incredible! You’re nephew’s already acquainted with psychology? I saw Ted Cruz today on MSNBC’s Alex Wagner and there’s a slip of the tongue and a brief attempt at retribution through the prowess of a burro later on and on and on.  

D: Man! Is this the remarks he made about England and the Coc-Continent?

M: Dude! Yes! It’s at 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the 1 hour and 3 minute broadcast of NOW with Alex Wagner this afternoon!

D: Man! What about the attempt at retribution through the prowess of a burro?

M: Dude! Later on he declares his propensity or his father’s propensity to cocktails.

D: Man! Do you still have that recording? I’m going to have to bring my nephew over to review that bit, but I think one of his friends or teachers will have shown enough segments for a day. But the one you mention is repeatable for the sake of collective degradation of conservatism in the United States by the far right of the GOP.

M: Dude! Ted Cruz probably managed through Harvard Law like Representative Paul Ryan managed double majoring in economics and political science at Miami University.

D: Man! I am experiencing a brain freeze thaw right now! I want to go out and get preparation materials for introductory college mathematics courses. Do you think if I watched the same stuff as much as my nephew did last night, I could become motivated to attend to completion and graduation community college?   

M: Dude! Harvard University has been in the news lately about its coming out of what is known as a “quiet phase”- a course spanning the last two years approximately in which it has already received $2.8 billion in donations and pledges.   

D: Man! What are you implying? Ted Cruz is a Harvard graduate because he basically, due to a lack of considerable intellect to make it as a Democrat, he got on the right side of the political spectrum by becoming a Republican?

M: Dude! You’ve totally missed one essential point about the political spectrum. You don’t necessarily 

need to be of considerable intellect alone to be a Democrat, you also need that spirit of optimism mixed with what is unselfish. As President Clinton said as President Obama listened while they clarified the basics of the Affordable Care Act, healthcare is public good.   

D: Man! As President Obama said as President Clinton listened while they clarified the process of all Americans going online and at least exploring their options at healthcare.gov, healthcare is the economy.

M: Dude! When you keep the wirings in your mind from either unraveling or entangling with selfish notions like personal financial gains at all costs to society in general, you end up like Harvard University. It’s set to meet its goal for 6.5 billion dollars by 2018, but through mega donors and alumni for most of it, not fundraising which, according to consultant George Ruotolo from Cresskill, New Jersey, remains flat.  

D: Man! So, if our economy was egalitarian, not partial due to gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics that will keep us encroached in GOP sludge indefinitely, would Harvard University be able to recover its fundraising base, which I presume and pretty certain I am correct, that is more middle classers than Harvard or its mega donors and alumni want to admit?

M: Dude! There are upper middle classers and those middle classers who became middle classers and upper middle classers on two-person family incomes.

D: Man! There’s so much to be explored about the diverging trends in population, like caregiver mental health initiatives out there to assist families or individuals coping with an aging loved one with a condition like Alzheimer’s. I was reading somewhere about how ADHD and other brain miscalculations are very closely related at the molecular level. But a few wealthy income earners in the United States of America cannot sustain the great imaginative force that diversity amongst working and middle classers has provided US, and being targeted by the far right self–identified “rednecks” like Ted Cruz for total annihilation. And we’ve still got four and a half  more years of Senator Cruz and his non-assorted brand of crooked cookies.

M: Dude! According to President Obama and emphasized by President Clinton in their talk Tuesday afternoon in New York City, there is a particular “funny business” of the GOP that revolves around wanting to repeal the benefits in the law that is the Affordable Care Act but keep the tax credits in order to declare that they were able to partake in a reduced deficit model for the country’s economy.

D: Man! I’m telling you! Ben Bernanke ought to oversee the collective gathering of GOP members of Congress in order to get them to empty out their pockets like our mothers used to do whenever we came home from school. I’d personally grab Ted Cruz’s “argument boots” and turn him upside down and shake him until the entire deficit reduction poured down like Chuck-E-Cheese tokens.
