Das Hier #42
Why must your human technologies always seem so prone to failure?
Or is it just that I am in the most backwards of one of your most together nations where despite its status as one of the most forward thinking, their grid is weak and easily interrupted?
Because there has been no connection to the great Network since I supped yesterday and because of that, I was unable to continue writing last night when I surely would have written up quite the storm.
Instead, I could only draw and draw and draw some more, which of course does my hearts good. But I surely would have felt better had I had the chance to write with the reckless abandon that I felt last night which instead of being expressed through words, was expressed in drawings.
And yes, for those that are inwardly asking, I am certain sure that you will come to see the drawings that I drew with such abandon last night, but as those for a little idea that I dreamed up some time ago, you will not be seeing them until that project has its feet under it and can stnad on its own.
Until then, you can but wonder my good humans, even though patience is all too frequently not your strongest suit.
Though strongest suit makes you seem as if you were supered heroes or some such fool thing and you are most surely not. Humans would make the lousiest supereds, despite what your fictions tell you.
But as always, I'm not here to put you down or make hyou feel bad because if i did, no one would read me now would they?
And precious few read me as it is. So I don't want even fewer, or none to read me because that would leave me down in the mouth and surely you can't want that for me.
Now you're no doubt asking how I can be writing now if the great Network is down? Well, it turns out that there is a portable here that I pulled out of storage early this morning, like I had forgotten that it was even here, as if I was old and feeble instead of still in my prime.
If only I had had it last night, I could have surely written up that storm with this. But I did not, so there was no storm to be written up.
Just drawings, which are surely some of my best that I have ever done.
No, I am not teasing you my friends, I am but whetting your appetite for these drawings that will serve as inspiration for a proper artist to draw them.
If I ever bring this project to the light of day and not just see it linger in the stage of not ready for the prime of time, though I suppose that is a term best served for your telelvision programming and this would be some kind of graphication with sweeping tales of glory and heroism.
And in my dreams, it would be despicableized, but that can't possibly be a thing for years, if ever.
In any event, I am most upset with you humans for getting in the way of my expression of myself with your faulty access to the great Network that prevented me from expressing myself in words.
Yes, I didn't realize I had the portable in storage last night but I couldn't have even shared the words with you until today and that wouldn't sit well with me at all.
I am writing these words now because I will be home by the afternoon and be able to post both my drawing and these very words, which I hope to be the first part of another day where we reach the first good peak as we need to start reaching it with more regularity, just as Nos Glorieux need to win, win and win some more to even have a chance at qualifying for the tournament.
We don't have to first good peak our days with the same amazing frequency, as we have the length of the year while they have but two months.
Still, to the better we must be if we want the chance to stand alongside the good Petrie.
Oh bother.
I feel the flow like I haven't in I don't know how long and I have to go sooner than I would like to as we must away to the city.
Me back of course and them for but a visit.
They have been kind enough to bring me back to the city this good day, though far earlier than I normally travel, but better to be back early, than later yes?
Oh bother again, I feel that now is the time that I must bring this morning's writing to an end, even though I could be happy with another ten good minutes, it is better to be ready now, than just as they anoounce that they are leaving and I have throw everything together suddenly, which could be the cause of my leaving something behind.
And that will not do at all.
Yet here I am, still writing when the theime has come for me to bring this morning's writing to an end.
Be well humans, I am going to stop now.
Only I am so close to the point of my immediate happiness that I cannot help but press dangerous;y forward to the edge of the cliff and the cursing where they say that they are ready and I say that I am not and they reply you know the time that we we leaving and that we might even leave earlier.
So either bve ready now or stay here until the morrow
I do not wish to stay until the morrow though and must away today.
And awaying today best means awaying early with them.
My immediate happiness be damned.
Though I am even closer now and want to express myself further.
I can even take this portable with me because it is mine, I just haven't used it in a seeming forever. But it has proven itself this morning so I am inclined to take it with me.
Or I have proven myself with it?
Either way, I am taking it with me.
Ha! I was right to stay the extra time because my immediate happiness is right over yonder and still they have not called me to the time of departure.
So I snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and I feel good because of it.
Thus it is now that I take my leave of you humans.
Be well.
You can imagine what inspired that drawing this morning as it was what I wrote about.
The lack of connection to your Great Network, or wifi, which isn't great at all and is far too fragile.
But that lack of a connection to your weak was good for the writing as I felt the flow, as you can no doubt see in the words and the count, which was done in real time.
And if I hadn't been returning to the city, I would have doubled that goodly amount and been on the way to the first good peak, or better because the level of flow I was feeling was the kind that I would have reached the base camp or very near it in an hour which would have been enough of a writing for me to surely take the rest of the day a little easier and maybe not write at all in the final quarter and do something else.
Something relaxing like see one of your human films as this is the best day to a film in the city that I now call my own because I would have surely brought us to the first good peak this quarter with the thousand words that I will write this quarter despite the very late start as I couldn't bring myself to start earlier.
I think this even though I am not feeling the flow that I was this morning and that's a lot of writing to do when that flow is not here with me.
This is even truer when I haven't even written 300 words and there's no feeling of story coming from the drawing that I drew this morning.
Oh bother.
It was so easy to write this morning. Why is it not easy now? I an certain to reach the camp at the base of the mountain but the certainty of reaching the first good peak is gone.
And while I could strike a good story from another drawing, that would take time from the writing that I cannot afford.
Oh bother.
Also, I've already drawn a drawing this quarter and how many do I need to draw in the same quarter when the key is the collective will to write a million words this decayear, which will be greatly helped by more first good peak days.
So yes, 3000+ words is more important than just about anything that I can think of, though I will draw one more time for sure, that drawing will not stop me from the aim that I have.
At least, it shouldn't because I will be here for the whole of the 4th and that's enough time to write 1200 words, or less, by the time that the quarter ends as there's an hour left.
None of this is good reading though, not like what I wrote this morning which flowed freely and reads just as easily yes?
"Why do you serve the little fishie in that awful tasting bubble? You are a bird and we eat fishies like him for breakfast, lunch and dinner so tell me, what does he have on you?" The bigger of the two birds said, who was still hating the taste in his beak.
"Brother, I serve him because he brings the word and the word is worth all. but you'll know soon enough." The smaller bird said, sounding very much like he was more than just committed to the fish, he was a most obediant follower.
"What do you mean? he said as he jerked his head back, not liking...
...where this conversation was going because there was something creepy in the way that he was speaking.
He smiled creepily. "You'll see soon enough Brother."
"The hell I will you creep. And I've wasted enough time with you and your freak fish. Imagine that, a bird serving a fish, I never thought that I'd see the day." He said, disgusted first by seeing a bird serve a fish and second, seeing how far gone he was, like the fish had some darker hold on him than he had first imagined him having.
Nos Glorieux are playing tonight and are currently leading by two whole scores, for a second time as they scored the first two and the fourth, with two of those scores coming with the advantage
But with the way they have played since November, this is right where the other team wants them.
Especially this one that they are playing now who has bested them three times this season and surely had the thought of sweeping Nos Glorieux and sending them one loss closer to making the double infamy a triple infamy as that is what eight straight losses for a third time in the same season would be that.
So I am reluctant to write about them as there's too much time left in both the period, with just over two minutes to play in the second and the gamer overall for Nos Glorieux to be thinking that they have the game well in hand because they do not.
Even a three score lead would not be enough for me to think they had the game in hand considering the number of games where they have given up three or more goals in a game and blown the last game after having an early three score lead and an earlier game where they blew a 4 score lead in the first wretched streak.
And now they are in the midst of a disadvantage and there's enough time for them to be scored upon so that the other team just has score one more goal in regularity then the winner in time over.
Can they fend off the other team for what I surely hope is the final twenty minutes of the game?
Please.
Just win Nos Glorieux!
You can still do that can't you?
I believe that they can, but not as much as I believe that we can climb to the to the top of the mountain before the end of the decayear.
Especially if we can string together a series of first good peak streaks, which we are currently on with this one being the third if I can find it in me write out another five hundred words.
Or 838 since I was way off in my guestimation and wishing that I was further ahead doesn't make it so.
But time is on my side as I take a look at the time and two and a half hours is more than enough time for me to find my way to the first good peak.
Will I be happy once I reach that peak thanks to a win by Nos Glorieux, or will I be upset again as a two goal lead is not enough this long season.
And the other team remains on the advantage to start the final period of the night.
Right? You're not going to let them back into a game that they aren't even out of like they should be since you are the much better team this season, or were until that game where two players were lost and you haven't been the same since.
Is it going to end on a high note with both of those players back? One can hope, but the two streaks of infamy have us shaky in our belief in them.
I'd love to say that all they need is a fourth score, but no, not this season and not against tonight's team either.
Oh bother.
Here we go again?
The other team scored and now a single score separates them again.
If they score the next goal they will win in the regularity and probably add a keeperfree score and the haters will laugh and say "Nos Glorieux twice had two goal leads and still lost the game as they lost their fifth in a row. Ha ha ha! They're a joke."
They are not wrong that this has been a hard season to enjoy with two streaks of infamy and being halfway to a third one, but unlike too many humans, I don' think that they are distantly far from a run at further glory.
No, even if they qualify for the tournament I know that they won't make a run at that glory, but it would do my hearts good for them to make a run, even if it ended in four straight losses in the tournament because it would mean that they dug deep and found their stride in time enough.
And it would also make the haters cry, which they richly deserve. Yes, yes, you don't have to like Nos Glorieux because no one is going to catch them while any human living today is alive, but to be a hater, you think they will never win again and you delight in their tough times.
Even if your times are not drenched in glory or even have any.
So please Nos Glorieux, stop giving the haters reasons to smile!
It's happening again.
And this time it's going to happen worse than it happened against the team in the last game.
It's only a matter of time before the game is lost as the other team is going to score the go ahead marker in the next five minutes, which will give them more than enough time to score the keeper free goal to make it 5-3.
Oh bother!!!
And the other team will have swept Nos Glorieux.
Or is that swept them out of any hope of qualifying for the tournament?
What happened Nos Gloririeux?
And now they've just taken a disadvantage.
They will score to make it 4-3 with three goals in the final period.
How can you stop playing like a team that was headed for the tournament and never find your stride again?
Yes, they lost key players but a good team would have managed better.
Here it comes yes? Even if it doesn't happen on this disadvantage, they have Nos Glorieux right where they want them.
The game is going to end with a keeper free goal, especially since the other team just scored to take the lead.
It's happening again.
And this time it's going to happen worse than it happened against the team in the last game.
It's only a matter of time before the game is lost as the other team is going to score the goal ahead goal in the next five minutes, which will give them more than enough time to score the keeper free goal to make it 5-3.
Oh bother!!!
And the other team will have swept Nos Glorieux.
Or is that swept them out of any hope of qualifying for the tournament?
What happened Nos Gloririeux?
And now they've just taken a disadvantage.
They will score to make it 4-3 with three goals in the final period.
How can you stop playing like a team that was headed for the tournament and never find your stride again?
Yes, they lost key players but a good team would have managed better.
Here it comes yes? Even if it doesn't happen on this disadvantage, they have Nos Glorieux right where they want them.
Five straight losses!
And I actually thought that they would win tonight as they were headed to the final period with a two score lead.
Foolish alien, this is a season for the haters as Nos Glorieux are surely going to suffer through their thrid wretched streak of infamy.
Nos Glorieux having the advantage on a night when two of their scores have come on the advantage isn't going to change my mind, this game is over, even though there are three minutes left to play.
And they didn't even score on the advantage and in fact, just gave the other team an adavantage.
How stupidly bad can you be?
Five straight games bad when they were headed in the right direction after two terrible streaks of infamy,
They will have a third one this season.
These last two hurt real bad because with some good keeping they would have won them both.
At least the collective can still win our championship, unlike Nos Glorieux who don't look at all like they will qualify, even if they somehow don't suffer through their third wretched stretch of infamy.
But we are not out at all of the running for Millionizing the decayear, especially when we are in the midst of another streak, the opposite of what Nos Glorieux are doing. Though their worse is better than our good, even if my streak continues to to five, they will surely suffer their sixth on the same day that I set my fifth.
And yes, I just clenched both of my fists tightly in anger!
Sadly, I think this anger has stopped any hope of driving hard for the rest of the night to second good peak which could still do as there is more than an hour left in the day that I could fill with words.
Especially when I have less than a thousand words to write and just today I managed to write a thousand words in less than an hour.
But I can't do this without the drive that I fear is gone because of the unfolding infamy in a season from agony.
Though to my credit, I have continued to write and even though I won't second good peak the day, I'll be within striking distance of it.
And as it is, I have brought us hundreds of words past the first good peak which is still pretty good.
"Oh brother, soon you will not speak with such a terrible tongue and will instead speak as the goodly son that you haven't been in years, if you ever were." He said, dismissing the free bird because he was not of the faith.
Enough rest!
I am within striking distance of the second good peak after all so now I need to settle in and climb hard.
Though the striking distance is longer than I thought it was, but I still have time enough to close the distance between the now and the good then.
At this point I should have know that the good was going to end before the end of the game and that they wouldn't have brought their latest period of can't win to an end.
But they are bound and determined to suffer a third streak of wretched infamy, which is enough to make me scream.
"Shut up creep" The free bird squawked at the hapless one, who was definitely off his rocker with the strange look in his eyes.
Oh brother, I will be glad when you are on the side of the righteous fish because you are far too angry for your own good." He continued talking like a dangerous cultist who needed to be stopped before he spread the terrible word that his fish leader wanted him to spread.
"What do you know or think you know stranger because I have never before been the least bit tempted to...
Strangely though, that was when he stopped, in mid-sentence.
And the server of the fish smiled, because he knew that the hold had taken the foul mouthed bird and once taken hold, the only way out of it was death and very few had the will to even shake the least little bit of the hold. "You are of the hold now dear brother are you not?" He asked him with a knowing smile.
Oh so close I am, with enough time to finish climbing to the second good peak as what is 292 words in 11 minutes when I have the necessary wakefulness and the srive to close the distance from where I am on this day's mountain and where I will be at the end of it, with the cry of victory, albeit a quiet one because of the hour and not wanting to wake anyone as surely there are many neighbours now sleeping and I have no want to wake them.
Yes, I see the end of the day and my double happiness of climbing to the second good peak when i once more saw Nos Glorieux let another wins slip through their fingers when they had less than a period to play and just couldn't hold on to a victory that should have been theirs.
I just have to write a little longer and faster, with no more breaks as I am just going to cross the into the range of the second good peak if I do not stop until I have done what I already should have done and would have if the first quarter was just a little better.
Another hundred words longer and I would certainly now have my first second good peak day.
Or will I fail?
And fall short of the second good peak by 17 words and kick myself as the entire roster and coaching staff should be kicking themselves for all three of their stretches of infamy.
Fine, the third one is not complete, but all that needs to happen for that is to play three more games and that infamy will be complete.
I just don't understand how they can be so inept now.
Especially when they have the players back that had lost.
Only now the day is nearly done and I don't know if I have fasted quick enough.
Did I write enough?
