Title: A typical day in the life of Opie Kindred.
Post by: Opie Kindred on June 15, 2015, 01:08:28 AM
On any given Monday (or any day of the week for that matter), by the time most of my Canadian compadres have punched the time-clock and positioned themselves at their work stations, I'm languorously stretching in silk sheets wondering whether I will brew and enjoy a dark Sumatra or sip a perfectly chilled Mimosa.



Once I've unhurriedly slipped-out of bed and made my way into the kitchen, my foremost preoccupation will be to determine the location of my after-breakfast nature walk or hike. Upon my return, I will likely head to the top-floor pool/sundeck for a few laps, let the sun dry my skin, enjoy the view over the busy metropolis and absorb the energy emanating from this sunny aerie. At this time, on a late sunny morning, there a few other tenants lounging around the pool... usually delicious-looking and voluptuous women in French-cut bikinis, one of which who will unmistakably ask me to rub tanning oil on her back. This interaction may lead to a pre-lunch romp... or not.  I have no agenda.

 

After a soothing shower and a light lunch, I may spend part of the afternoon in company of a few friends enjoying a light snack on a restaurant terrace of a bustling city avenue as we watch the throng of anonymous beautiful people making their way to unknown destinations.



I will then head back home and abandon myself to a dreamy siesta, watching the drapes flutter in the warm afternoon breeze. The sounds of the city, a subdued groan at the elevation of my condo, faintly reaches my ears as a blissful sleep overcomes consciousness.



Later, I will catch-up on my diary notes or memoirs or read Virgil until dinner time. As an Epicurean, I put time, effort and love in all meals I prepare for myself. Sometimes I will have a guest at the table, but I mostly entertain later in the evening; entertainment consisting of enlightened conversation with close friends over a aged Sherry and a savoury cigarillo; the evocative blue wisps never fail to transport me to a timeless epoch where the life of a demiurge was not scorned upon, as in contemporary times, but actually believed to be the pinnacle of self-realization.



When I finally retire, I feel content, fulfilled, inspired, enchanted and eternal. I feel like a god. I do not pray. I bless. Other immortals visit in my dreams.



What does your day bring you?

Whereas hyperbole and self aggrandisement are still prolific, it would appear.



Not to mention craven deceit.

He does sound like EL, RW. You could be on to something. However, I think that EL would want to identify always with an Islamic symbol. He can't be without that symbol. It's his shield and armor.

Opie Kindred is a character from "Stories From A Quiet War" by Paul J MCauley, specifically from the short story, "Reef".



He is represented as an opinionated, overbearing, cocky scientist.

it's Blurt, it's tatterdamelion, it's EL, it's gramps, it's... Franklin the turtle, it's Hillaly Climpus, it's Boxcar Willie, it's... an itch that cannot be scratched.  



A panoply of potentially discussion-worthy topics were spread-out in the opening post ranging from the mundane to the esoteric and the only subject you monkeys are greedily sucking-on is who will be first to identity the handle behind the handle?

Once again I ask, and I despise repeating my words to folks who have clearly understood them the first time around, what grand purpose is to be served by unmasking a poster when all that is to be found underneath is another mask?



I answered the call echoing through this tomb; a call for new members, more men (the ones present are not of a good cut, apparently), a call for growth... And here I am, a prodigal son if you wish, a long lost cousin returning to the family unit, although this family closely resembles one to be found in the misty backwoods of the Ozarks, but it appears I was lured into these turbid waters, as Ulysses, by the trickery of siren's songs hankering for my demise.



Nonetheless, my resolve remains steadfast and I will endeavour to contribute thought-provoking material, most of which will be selected, as above, from subjective life experiences. I will attempt to accurately convey, through enlightening anecdotes, the permanent and infinite grandeur which inhabits my Being, the thrust of Grace animating its every fiber, the unbridled happiness it causes and the manner I apply this gargantuan feeling in my everyday activities; this grandeur, whose source originates within us, freely available to all who wish it but is rarely recognized.



In light of the tepid responses to my opening post so far in this thread, I realize the main theme was grossly understated and failed to hit its intended mark, but then again I failed to properly evaluate the audience. I will be constrained in the choice of my narratives by those who are evidently unfamiliar and estranged to concepts I find to be self-evident as they relate to (Wo) Man and his rightful place in the Universe. I will gradually open the gates, to avoid existential shock, as not everyone posses the robust constitution necessary to discover their own immortality and position it within themselves; most would rather project it in some distant, invisible and unreachable Heaven.



Good times ahead.

And there's no mask under the mask...its a cute little black cocktail dress. Sequinned, of course.



And those gorgeous stiletto pumps you love so much.



Actually, I don't much care who you are. I care what you aren't...and you aren't of any value to this forum.



So, kindly heed THIS call...fuck off.

The Pounce that was here wasn't the same Pounce that is in Van.



But "Opie" couldn't use that alter here, because someone else had grabbed it... ac_bashful.



So he became Opie. Same fart, different trousers.

Really SPECK? Are your words truly sincere or is it, once again, your... uhmm... condition speaking through you? I find intriguing the manner in which you usurp the rights of other members and elevate yourself as sole arbiter in this playground so that you may decide, or the very least suggest, who gets expelled and who is permitted to stay. Were you elected security advisor, doorman and bouncer by a covert star chamber concealed in the folds of this refuge for outcasts or was it by self-appointment?



In any event, value is a subjective entity to which you appear to have no understanding of, insofar as this forum is concerned. You may be convinced every word discharged from the orifice below your nose to be clever and judicious, but valuable, they are not; there is no evidence within the scant topics of this forum that anything you've affirmed has been perceived by the readership to have any value.



Unless you have challenged yourself in some juvenile hobby to gauge the number of prefixes you can juxtapose to the words tits and nuts , your overall disposition, as an internet presence, does not exceed that of boorish lout. A truculent disposition, in this respect, succeeds only in exposing psychological poverty, poor judgement, scheming intentions and misplaced confidence. You have the manners of a common and coarse wretch and no varnish can hide the grain of the wood; more varnish you put on, the more the grain expresses itself.



@ the RW.



You are not the only siren singing the blues in these parts, my pretty. I cannot help but feel the old 'bait and switch' tactic in place, where the lonely and weary sailor is lured by Aglaopheme's bewitching melody and once within reach, is left to the deal with Polyphemus.
