43. Notes - irony in consciousness

30 January 2019

      Late afternoon. It is a very cold with the temperature at -1 F. You went out to lunch with Kim and the boys and then they stopped by for about an hour with the boys spending some time upstairs playing chess on a regulation board and pieces while Carol and Kim worked on bills, etc. (most everything is now on automatic pay for which you are most pleased). -- When you checked your blogs today you noticed that this blog is getting more hits because last night you loosened theInternet doorway to the blog; yesterday you got thirty hits where you usually get one or two or none. Until yesterday you had a total of about sixty hits since you started the blog on 21 October 2018. You are ready for a quick nap and Jadah is also waiting patiently to rest in your arms. - Amorella

      Early evening. Next, moving down your list from 28 January, are the basics "Imagination/Humor - A Condition in Consciousness". I, the Amorella, will tackle this subject. This is an alternate perspective, as it were, as I do not consider myself a human consciousness. Scattered throughout the "Encounters in Mind" blog are examples of what orndorff calls 'dark humor'. This dark humored cup of good cheer is usually spiced with irony, not the other way around. A personal example is when an old high school friend Steve G. said, "Cheer up orndorff, things are bound to get worse." This was an anxious announcement about surviving the first year of high school as he entered for the first time as a Freshman, but your imagination quickly carried this proclamation to mean "things were going to get a lot worse" throughout high school and for the rest of your life. But here you are in your concluding years realizing you have had a very good life, that you consider yourself very lucky to have lived the life you have, a life that has always included a few good friends along the way. Steve G. is still one of those friends. Orndorff is almost always conscious of his good friends, if not, they are just beneath the full surface of his consciousness just as most everyone else has herorhis own friends of heartanmind. Orndorff also considers family as friends by the way. He immediately thinks of Julius Caesar and how Caesar (one of his early pre-teen heroes) died by the hands of his so-called friends. He opines, "Things did get worse for Caesar," after which the irony filters into darker humor. Orndorff likes to assume this is how it is for the recent Dead (a still conscious clear silhouette of a human head in a shadowy bubble, as it were) considering the ironies sheorhe witnessed in life. "Cheer up!" he smiles. - Amorella

      2036 hours. I had no idea what you were going to write Amorella. I must say it is right on, I couldn't have written it better myself.
