Uncle Sam's Tall Tales

The most vivid memory of the first elementary school I attended is of kids falling from the upper stairs. The stairs were situated in such a way that kids could fall through the empty space. I couldn't have been higher than third grade, because the next school I started at grade four. I was clearly traumatized because I remember it to this day. I don't remember why we were going down the stairs, (maybe a fire drill, because I think it was the whole school going outside), or anything else about that day.

At the new school, in a more affluent part of the City, we had speakers in the class rooms and everyday the principal bade us "good morning" made announcements and led us in the pledge of allegiance. This was yet another form of programming. Sometimes I just mouthed the words. Usually the wrong words, because I don't remember seeing a script.

We were lied to about America and we believed it because we didn't know that there were any other versions of the narrative. I'm still kind of fucked up about that. My psyche is still compensating. Going from being 100% naive to 1000% cynical, and these days settling in to an acceptable medium. Sometimes I can get "mad" (not the best word, but the most convenient for now) at the "system" for lying to me and at the "normies" for still believing the lies I used to believe. It's like that episode of MASH when Hawkeye stopped drinking and then started preaching to everyone else about how damaging alcohol is.

Nothing worse than a reformed addict, unless it's a reformed "Normie." And I'm not even completely reformed. What truth of my youth is going to be shattered next?

In addition to waiting for my new fridge to be delivered, heavy winds and threatening rain, we have a piece about our bragging Uncle and how he was this badass hero back before we were born, but seems like a feeble old fart when it's time for action. If we... the collective citizenry of the United States had not been lied to for generations, particularly post World War 2, we would not be in this mess we're in today.

What's particularly disturbing, is that this country, but not necessarily the people, deserve some serious karma. Maybe that karma doesn't have to be "action" but a brutal realization that as many as 4 generations of leaders were lying, psychopathic scoundrels that charmed us out of our American dreams and into being a global pariah, at least in the eyes of the Global South.

Have you ever been to Valencia, Spain? In some places the city looks like it doesn't belong in Spain. That's where we are this Throwback Thursday. Like any other country Spain is a matter of perspective. I don't think that most people visit the country to experience its Muslim/Moorish history. Spain was a fallen empire before WW2 broke out and the only reason she was left out of this second European conflict was because she had her own civil war to deal with.

That's our day and our episode. Much love. Enjoy. Peace.

YouTube: [The Gymmy Jamm Season 10] Functional Fall. Deadlifting is still a thing, however we sustained what we deemed a nerve injury that we are still recovering from. (We know the difference between nerve ache & muscle soreness, we think.) Our Autumn plan is for more dynamic movement, rotation, jump training, body weight work. Still working towards strength & power via lifting, but also isometric holds, balance, dead hangs, and various assisted moves. Still working towards, muscle ups, plange, front lever, pistol squats and a few more gymnastic moves. The work is beneficial even if it takes us "forever" to hit those moves. I can feel some dormant muscles activate upon attempting various moves & positions.
