1940 — my I-self story starts here ======== 1940 — Junior, is already an in-mind FOCUSED OBSERVER thanks to being ‘alone’ [in the growth POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE of “sewer socialist” ]. As shown in pic — mother Connie with or without sister Gloria who lived one day as a ‘blue baby’ — urbanite tavern-owner-son, Senior (Rh+), shown not yet into the full stupor as a functioning alcoholic (he lived to 78y through six dry-up cures until drink made him really sick due to an exhausted liver). Connie [the “sewer socialist”] lived into her 102nd year at her retirement home — the ‘not-good-enough’ son driving cross country to visit at least yearly — until maybe 2005 when he was departing in the hallway she announced, “Harvey, I don’t think we should see each other again.” Harv, without hesitation responded, “Ma, I agree,” walking off — we never spoke again, or corresponded. Harv was the shotgun pregnancy not aborted. Yet we were the culmination of generations of what Harv labels as NO-TALK❗️The years tumbled on and on with Harv’s i-SELF as hid subconscious driving force certainly NOT laced by his parochial education as a latch key kid. The best mother Connie could do in her circumstance. Harv was left tp his own devies in getting on in his life, yet they could be loosely described as a family of two. 1961 splintered off into marrtage with Elaine. Connie coping with retirement alone but focused on a retirement home for her future. Harv looks to his future as a SEWER SOCIALIST.

2002 — Mother Connie and son Harv danced their lives together under the auspices of life-long NO-TALK parochialism, to whom she relegated Junior’s education and a life style basis. NOTE WELL — NO MALES SURVIVE FOR THE OLD-AGE PARTYING❗️ From youth on Harv UNBELIEVED MANY TEACHINGS and TRADITIONS.

to Milwaukee

1937 ? — Connie bolted from Marshfield live-in domestic work (indentured since grade five), to Milwaukee to mother’s-side south-Milwaukee relatives and perhaps domestic work for an east-side Milwaukee dentist.

1937? 1938? 1939? 1940? — Armand Otto south-Milwaukee-tavern-owner hung himself (cancer?).

1941 - THIS KID, today, still works his lifetime as a JOB! “Huh ?“ 🙄 ? RETIRED ? Contrarily, HarvOtto.com exists as a work of SELF study evidential narration challenge. Likely, it is a psychiatric COMPLEXITY CHALLENGE to understand SELF (effectualness navigation required). SELF IDEATION begins in the brain, develops in mind, via tasks chosen by a faceted self, 😉 ie, I-self, Me-self, We-self. 🤪 BE HAPPY with your own brain-mind-self as a JOB-mess 🤪. (Background pic represents Harv’s inherent tradition of being-aside, ie, ALONE.) His SELF study began in the 1970s as THEORY W.

2025 — looking ‘into’ his ‘magic-window’ iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard connected to “in-car home” internet, Harv jokingly laughs, (when he can get his keys LIT all-the-time🤥) — Harv laughs at his EXTERIOR SELF while at his daily-picnic-in-the-county-park [he is now TRESPASSED there 😕] — HARV is forever curious of his INNER SELF related to world-wariness via his curated “FREE” CHOICES. Local-yokel modernity-reality — if Harv does not behave he takes responsibility for his own chosen life-way — continually adjusting as he has perceived being trespassed from many places by many individuals — Harv respects them all, although he moves on his life-time path-way.

self key words

Before Harv’s INNER SELF study seriously took over his whole-hour lifetime interest. Harv had his “chasing-family’ lifetime-phase — well worth the time spent, but that chase was not the crux for KNOWING HIS SELF (his two preliminary SELF-keyword's are ALONE and TWEAK — perhaps MINIMALISM is another). A fairly stable book title has snuck out — NOT to be available soon in book stores near you.

FRAILty continues

Since 2025oct, Harv has developed his understanding of what he is still encountering, ie, his FRAILty life.flow phase. (Hopefully, he will still move on to the Real Retirement life.flow phase, already partially proven over the course of fifty years and especially 2024.  

Continued evidence of FRAILty came today when Harv coasted through a stop sign to turn left, only to his surprise, greeted by a honking car turning left into his just started left turn.  They met nose-to-nose, the other still with a few justifiable honks as Harv pulled away.  

“Too old to drive?”  At that moment a resounding, “Yes.”  Unfortunately, his past attempts at retirement, may have avoided current circumstances of FRAILty at the level of car-living.  Speculation aside, his current challenge remains — nothing on the horizon promises change.  Perhaps the solution — “Pay attention!”

Behold — in that same day’s world news appears, “Struggling with your mental health after surviving a disaster? Here’s how to look after yourself.”  Although a 5mph nose-to-nose close call may not fit as a disaster, Harv’s study is worth notation.  https://apnews.com/article/wildfires-disaster-trauma-coping-counseling-support-aa0557baf8d30354b630bc98e56200ea

— Along with meeting urgent physical needs in the aftermath … there are ways for those affected and those who want to support them to take care of the psychological and mental needs that may arise.    — … be aware that the conversation in your head needs to come out,” she said, adding some friends have found support groups. [Harv walked and wrote.]     She’s also learning to let go of guilt over knowing that some others have greater losses or fewer resources.    “We’re all going through this in a different way,” she said. “It’s OK to hold my suffering in a place and hold their suffering in a place.”    — Monitor your feelings and behavior and exercise self-compassion.    — … what I need right now is just some people to just listen…    He also emphasized the importance of looking out for the helpers and first responders. He recalled running into firefighters who told him they were sorry. One, though not a Methodist, asked the pastor to absolve his guilt, Shaver recalled.    “I said, ‘You have nothing to be sorry about, but I appreciate your care.’”    For those affected, Shaver stressed the importance of seeking professional help when not feeling well and specifying the kind of support needed.    “I’m saying to people, ‘take some time to pause and journal,’” he said. “For the faith community, take some time to pray.”    “Everybody needs help right now. And it’s not our fault. It’s just our circumstances at this moment.”    Highlighted 2025feb13.

Theory W life.flow.task.163.B-free recognizes What the reader would like to bring to mind, via his foundation definition of the human self.  His HarvOtto.com blog suffices for physical needs fulfillment description.  To further his mental / intellectual needs fulfillment he continues to choose Blogger although not yet fully programmed in marketing that publication.  His daily life is with Blogger pauses and what he sees as journal writ.  Writ support in his lifetime stretches specifically back to his teacher-praised fifth? grade homework assignment, and generally to his faith-based parochial education that emphasized secularism.  Secularism, for Harv, meant that in Harv’s mind, he realized that the US government was more loving than the Catholic Church!  Thus, in that caldron of freeing spirit, he leapt with enthusiasm (Boy Scout Troop 38 Quartermaster — but NOT the Latin-language alter-boy).  In his 87th year, the expression of his leaps forward in lifetime have stabilized as life.flow.task.163.B-free of Illustration Eleven.

 muse 

Under the spell of self muse, the individual’s self, sort of ceases its life.flow (like dead in the water) so that  a more adequate perspective may be gained about the self’s next functional task — before that task begins.  In Harv’s case, two item are stressed for consideration —

(1) As stated in this blog heading, he lives in “in a DYNAMIC OPPORTUNITY-WORLD.”  That certainly affects his muse about moving his self forward.  

(2) Another affectivity is the self’s vision or its organization strategy, that is repeated here, "I wish you and yours, Joy-Love-Freeing, away from Sad-Hate-Fear, for Self:trust-Another-Others, in the context of a longer and more productive lifetime and life:time, facilitated a nano by HarvOtto.com".

In word definition “(2)2:” below. the “guiding genius” is external to the self, where the self is relegated to a task cloner / copier with robotic action — apart from “freeing” one’s internal self into his external world.  

The internal self, specifically its brain, then may be alternatively seen as an “internal guiding genius“ or “Me-Muse” to go along with I-Self, Me-Self, We-Self — then ultimately, in Harv’s case, his Me-Muse is aimed at his “act#156 achieve ultimate end” in a conscious, aware, chosen, functionally organized manner — to include his muse tasks currently organized and definitely subject to rewrite —
