Wonderful Wednesdays

  1. On Wednesday, I saved a whole bunch of money on my car insurance AND registration by letting them lapse. I love Florida. As of today, my car is registered and insured. My Met Life car insurance will automatically be deducted from my bi-weekly Convergys earnings direct deposit, in the amount of only $17.54! Patti brought me to wonderful building and friendly efficient people to secure my registration renewal. I love Florida.
  2. I am saving a whole bunch of money on GAS by biking to and from employment, and everywhere else, which are all located here in Lake Mary! Otherwise, I save a whole bunch of money on GAS by using the WWW!
  3. As of Wednesday, my new (#3) CPAP mask is being sent to me from Queens NY, with the cooperation of Long Island Jewish Sleep Center, and Convergys United Health Care! I have suffered great loss of time, money, immunity, and health without my CPAP these past two weeks!
  4. I accommodated one doctor appointment, Wednesday, and rescheduled another one, for another Wednesday.
  5. Yesterday, on Wednesday, Patti found, and made an appointment for my new (Lake Mary) Dentist, next Wednesday. This is through Convergys and Met Life. I have been having 2 issues.
  6. On Wednesday, Patti found, and made an appointment for my new otolaryngologist for a Wednesday. My right ear has been experiencing an issue. I once again have United HealthCare!
  7. Patti found me a new pulmonologist on Wednesday.
  8. Patti dropped me off at the Lake Mary Clothing Doctor Wednesday to pick up my sown pants. She would have been able to repair them as well.
  9. Patti dropped me off at my Lake Mary bank Wednesday to deposit my rent payment for May. I have accepted Alan's interest and intention to continue living here as my tenant through at least the end of July!
  10. Patti dropped me off at Hungry Howie's in Lake Mary for our meals on, and for Wednesday. We both had an unusual delightful eating experience with our SUBS. I love SUBS here in Florida.
  11. Patti and I went to Radio Shack Wednesday. Since a battery charger and battery are not available for my 2001 cell phone, and my cell phone is dependent on a 20% and shrinking analog infrastructure, resulting in dropped calls, I purchased my new (#2) mobile multi-media telephone. It has a color camera with flash, and two color displays. Patti transferred my services from my old phone.
  12. I slept from 5:30pm Wednesday until 1:15am today. I have recovered, and am ready to resume driving my bike to Convergys.

NY2FL4AL

"NY2FLAL" and "NY1958AL" are ideas for a possible motor vehicle automobile registration tag plate identifying codes for my car. It represents that I moved from New York to Florida. It can be translated to "New York to Florida for Andrew Lerner, once, and for all time." Eight is the maximum allowed characters on the standard hard heavy metal sheet.

My newest venture is named "ALTertainment". The purpose of this name is to convey the message of alternative entertainment, with specific reference to music. The Karaoke division of my "ALTertainment" enterprise, is titled "ALTunes". My CD's are labeled and referenced by the format of ALT001 - ALT999. "ALT" is both an acronym for "Andrew Lerner Tunes", and an abbreviation for "ALTertainment".

The person shown to the left here, took the first picture of Patti and Andrew, on 10/25/05. Her shirt has a picture of Odie on it! Patti and Andrew are represented by "P@ti&rew". This is because "@" represents "at", and "& " represents "And". The symbol "&" represents the artist formally known as Andrew Lerner. The artist formally known as "Prince", was born in 1958. The a year of the Jones Generation. 1958 is also the year that I (&) was born.

NY2FL4AL is my idea for a special vanity plate. It means I moved from NY to FL, using my initials. If I go into the Karaoke business, my company would be called "ALTunes ALTertainment". Its name is influenced by my initials, and interest in alternatives. I currently represent my identity with "&", and my partner's with "@". Many influential people were born in 1958. 1958 is the first year of the "Baby Buster" generation. It is between generation "X" and the "Baby Boomers". NY1958AL is another plate IDea.

Yesterday, Patti drove us to Lowes, strapped the new sliding screen atop her car, drove us home, and custom installed my new Pattio door! Patti has now finished fixing all of my many broken and or underperforming doors and draws!

I am saving a whole bunch on money on my automobile insurance. I do not have any! My car is not registered. I do not need a car here. I have a bike. I can drive my bike or walk to every where I need within ten minutes. I only needed a car when I lived in New York City. What say you? I'd like to know.

I have cancelled and terminated my paid billing of XM Satellite and Online Radio. My only satellite receiver system is in my automobile. I no longer operate this motor vehicle. Therefore, my XM RADIO ONLINE account has been deactivated. I will no longer pay $14.+ monthly for that service. However, I will continue to have XM Satellite radio service. I will continue pipe online services and digital Music Choice service through my 5.1 channel audio system. I will save a whole bunch on money on my audio pleasure, gas expenses, and car insurance. What say you? I'd like to know.

In Lake Mary, the following businesses are less than a five-minute walk from my patio: Too Jays, UNO Chicago Grill, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Bob Evans, Arbys, K Mart, Gander Mountain, TGI Fridays, Indian, car wash, Mobile, On the Run, Firehouse Subs, La Quinta Inn & Suites, Citgo, Kangaroo, Longhorn Steak, Cinema Movies 8 multiplex, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, Curves, Mexican, Chillies, Chick Fila, Gym, photo, Thai, WWW, fitness, Japan, Nutrition, Pets, BP, gaming, baskets, computers, sports, scuba, Great Clips, BBQ, Cafe, KFC, Wendy's, Krystal, Progress Energy, Scholastic Book fairs, Colonial Bank, Extended Stay America, and Homestead Studio Suite Hotel.

By car: 1.5 miles + 11 minutes
By bike: 1.1 miles + 11 minutes By walk: 1.1 miles + 30 minutes By flight: 0.9 mile + 4 minutes
What say you? I'd like to know.

Generation Jones is a name for a demographic group born in the United States, and sometimes Canada, from 1954 through 1965. They are called this due to a decline in the birth rate; specifically, the U.S. birth rate fell for eleven consecutive years after 1957, the longest such decline in American history. The name is intended to contrast with the term "Baby Boomer"; indeed, the central purpose of its usage appears to be to deny Boomer affiliation on behalf of those born from 1958 through 1964, thus rejecting the mass media's widespread practice of observing 1960 or even 1964 as the baby boom's cutoff date. Presidential election the "under-35 generation" was frequently cited as the core supporters of third-party candidate Ross Perot. In his 2001 book, The Isolation Generation, Dean Anderson identifies a generation labeled the Pre-Lunar Space-Agers as having been born between the launch of Sputnik (October 4, 1957) and the Apollo 11 moon landing (July 20, 1969), thus making 1958 through 1968 the group's full birth years. The psychographic position of the Baby Busters and how they relate to neighboring generations has been the subject of considerable debate. Some insist that they constitute an entirely separate group, between the Baby Boomers and Generation X, while others reckon them as an older subset of Generation X. What say you? I'd like to know

On the day after June 5, it will be 6/6/6 or 666 What say you? I'd like to know. My pants have been shrinking the past few months. I am not happy. I recently found out that I can make my pants expand if I bike or swim every day. The first many weeks at Convergys, was the most stressfull and frustrating time of my life since my childhood.

American Idiot

"American Idiot" - Green Day lyrics
Don't wanna be an American idiot. Don't want a nation under the new mania. And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mindfuck America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alienation. Everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America. I'm not a part of a redneck agenda. Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along in the age of paranoia.
Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alienation. Everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue.
Don't wanna be an American idiot. One nation controlled by the media. Information age of hysteria. It's calling out to idiot America.
Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alienation. Everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue.
What say you? I'd like to know.

1958: Generation Jones

Generation Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Generation Jones is a name for a demographic group born in the United States, and sometimes Canada, from 1954 through 1965. They are called this due to a decline in the birth rate; specifically, the U.S. birth rate fell for eleven consecutive years after 1957, the longest such decline in American history. The name is intended to contrast with the term "Baby Boomer"; indeed, the central purpose of its usage appears to be to deny Boomer affiliation on behalf of those born from 1958 through 1964, thus rejecting the mass media's widespread practice of observing 1960 or even 1964 as the baby boom's cutoff date. Approximately 43 million people were born in the United States during the years of the actual "bust;" adding immigrants and subtracting deaths of those born during this period, it is believed that about 41 million persons born during these years were alive in the United States as of the end of 2003.

The first identification of baby busters in this context appears to have been made by anthropologist Marvin Harris (1927-2001) in his 1981 book America Now (later re-released under the title Why Nothing Works: The Anthropology of Daily Life). In 1987, the word twentysomething was coined, an apparent back-formation of Thirtysomething, the title of a then-popular Baby Boomer-themed television series. Douglas Coupland's groundbreaking 1991 novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture was dedicated to "the generation born in the late 1950s and 1960s," and in the following year's Presidential election the "under-35 generation" was frequently cited as the core supporters of third-party candidate Ross Perot. In his 2001 book, The Isolation Generation, Dean Anderson identifies a generation labeled the Pre-Lunar Space-Agers as having been born between the launch of Sputnik (October 4, 1957) and the Apollo 11 moon landing (July 20, 1969), thus making 1958 through 1968 the group's full birth years.

The psychographic position of the Jones Generation and how they relate to neighboring generations has been the subject of considerable debate. Some insist that they constitute an entirely separate group, between the Baby Boomers and Generation X, while others reckon them as an older subset of Generation X. The combination of the aforementioned dedication of Douglas Coupland's novel followed by the media obsession with "twentysomethings" that persisted well into the 1990s has only served to heighten the confusion.

Another frequently-encountered description of Jones Generation consists of the span of birth years 1965 through 1976 in the US. These years lie in between the end of Baby Boom (1964, beginning in 1946) and the beginning of the Echo Baby Boom (1977, ending in 1994 and sometimes known as "Generation Y," even though birth rates began a seven-year dip in 1991, this being the second longest such streak in modern history after the eleven-year decline of 1958-68 already alluded to), the conceptual children of the Baby Boomers. As plotted against a normal distribution curve, the Baby Boom had its apex in 1957 (4.3 million births), and was followed by a decline in births but was still a relatively large number of births (remaining at 4 million or above through 1964). The US Census Bureau defines the dearth in births from 1965 through 1976 in terms of demographic birth cohorts as the Baby Bust, although many in the advertising industry prefer to observe 1978 as the last such year (with Generation Y commencing with those born in 1979).

My Swan Song.

This is my last blog posting. I plan to start deleting all of my pages all over the Internet. It is evil, and the work of the devil. “666” is in 66 days. The George W. Bush administration is going to find out everything about me by the Internet, in addition to tapping my telephone conversations. I am going to start writing letters by hand, and use the postal service. Besides, posting things on my web sites is an obscene waste of my time. I could be reading, cooking, and cleaning. Anything digital is evil. I now have three vinyl record players. I have zero MP-3s, and plan to sell my DVD player at a swap meet. I can bike to work now. I plan to sell my car. This way I will show less dependence on foreign oil, and save a whole bunch of money on my car insurance! I can’t trust the Internet or automatic deductions from my checking account or credit card. I am only going to use cash from now on. I am replacing my hand held pocket computer with a little memo book. My old AM radio still works. Maybe I should just get rid of my sound system. I do not need XM Satellite radio. Doing away with my Internet connection and digital cable will save so much money! Have a happy All Fools Day. What say you? I'd like to know.

you really scared me Andrew I was going to call the police to take you away because it sounds like you flipped out from the heat
