I already know how I'd like to go...like say if I found out I had a terminal illness, I would just like to walk out into the desert, and go. The rocky cavernous kind...  But any terrained desert will do...when it's my time, I will just walk out and disappear. I will go, as I always wished I were able to live, free, and under no constraints. No hospitals, no hospital bills, no pills, no fake tears, no fake visitors, no people showing up making you sad, making you dwell on the past and all the 'what ifs', and 'what could of beens'...while you lay there as a spectical to them. Not only no, but heck no. Rather instead, my last moments on this earth, or last days, even weeks, will be spent lost out in an open desert somewhere...living quietly, hearing things, enjoying the sounds of nature. And then when I do go, I'll be happy that I would have gotten more out of last few days alone in desert, without mans crap, than the 20 previous years of life, living under mans strangle hold. I will simply die like the Fox, or Deer, or the Ancient ones did, the Navajo, and other tribes. I can't afford mans world anymore, this world man has created, that even if and when sick, his system still tries to rob you. I can barely afford to live while healthy and working, now if I'm terminally ill, and not working, then what? I tell you what...I'll die with dignity...I'll make my peace with the sky, and die in peace. No hospital lights, no machines, no nurse, no bed...just rocks and dust beneath me, alone and happy. I don't even need health care...I just need a quiet place to die, when it's my time. |

Man and his laws...even upon death, man and his capitalistic laws, tries to put a strangle hold on you. Man has chosen to make money his god.As such has put a strangle hold on many, and has reduced the sole purpose of being alive, for many, to nothing more than back breaking labor, all for industry. But no one lives forever, not even rich wealthy types live forever in current bodies.... Even those who hoard billions, also die...perish...and can't take a drop of it with them. Stripped and reduced to their basic elements, basic character...if there is another side, I wonder what the other side will think of them?, those who hoarded billions, while others toiled and labored for pennies a day. A billion dollars cannot keep anyone alive...not one wealthy persons money has ever kept them alive. All the wealthy from the past are dead, bodies rotting in the ground like everyone elses...  Here I lay, and while alive and wealthy, I helped no one, now look at me.There's so many good people who need help. I'm not speaking about welfare leach types, who don't have dreams, or ambitions, and who drain other tax payers of their hard earned dollars. I'm talking lower income working class types, ordinary people, who don't come from families of wealth, who have ideas, dreams, ambitions, but just can't catch a financial break, nor can they get help from banks, who sit on billions in cash, even trillions.Peoples lives rot, while fat, over fed (let me stop) types, sit on billions, trillions. They have chosen money as their god, and as such we live in the world we do today because of that. Yes I know I know...'Money goooood....capitalism gooooood....just work and labor hard, till you drop dead of heart attack, that goooood...give your time, labor, life and sweat to us, corporations...that goooood'... Ye, I know I know...but the spell of that is wearing off on many, as many are seeing how tricked they've been, as they to are being stripped of status, benefits, pensions, all so Corps can keep more, and give workers less. Suckers we are...but the spell is wearing off on more and more... |

For some reason it seems to be human nature to conspire...wherever there is two above you, like say at work, there's a good chance they're conspiring against you in some way shape or form, expecially if money and profit are involved. There is no loyalty in business...you come dead last, period. Your value to the company is simply their ability to extract labor from your person, with as little compensation in return as possible. (This rule or factor does not apply to executive club types, who heap extravagant bonuses and salaries upon one another...that's a different subject matter we'll explore later). No matter where you work, the purpose of the company is to break you, before you break it. Companies are like entities, miniature creatures, or kingdoms...and their sole purpose is to survive. And the company, corp, simply hires people that help insure their survival, but will fire, dispose of just as quick, anyone, or those, who work against it's survival. Don't matter if you're a contractor or employee...same rules apply. It's why board members often vote Company owners, creators, out of the company, like they did with Ted Turner of CNN (live interview)...voted the man out the company, even though he created it. But at least he had millions to fall back on...where as low level contractors, workers, do not. It's one thing to have a net worth of $5 million and get fired or let go, it's another to have only a net worth of between $1000-$4000 and get canned do to equipment failure or performance failure. My point is, those at the bottom, many, know this...know their true status... So it's kind of like The one being used, uses the one who's using them, while they can.Like a woman, for example, who dates a man, they know is a playboy, they already know the man cheats, and usually dumps his girlfriends in a matter of weeks. So woman enters relationship knowing full well her status is disposable. So instead of fooling herself, telling herself 'Oh, I can get this man to love me'...instead of doing that, the woman accepts her temporary status as being number 1, and quietly prepares for the time when man throws her out of his life, but in the mean time, woman gets all that she can before that time arrives. Business doesn't like you...there not in business to like you...their in business to exploit you, exploit your skills, equiptment, talent, labor, with as little in return as they can get away with it. (I'm speaking of contractors here, partners, stuff like that) Never feel loyal to a company or corporation...cause they live on, we do not. Corporations live on for decades, centuries even, while their workers die off, fade away, wither. New cells replace dead ones... The newer, younger, more gullible replace the older and wiser. Those willing to work, labor for less, replace those use to income standards (and told by talk radio hosts like Limbaugh that this is 'gooooood') Once money, profit, and corporations become the heart and soul of a nation, the nation ceases to have a living soul anymore...and will soon fade. Cause Corps, the culture of Corporations is to be loyal to no one, nothing, but profit, and or those who can help us grow our profits. There's not much any of us can do about it...accept be the lady in above scenario...ride them while their riding you and then let go. |

So sorry to hear that Russell Johnson (The Professor)recently past away...he was 89 years old.
He also starred in a few early Twilight Zone episodes and did Westerns.
Wow...the Professor gone...wow.
Icons just keep leaving us...rest in peace Professor...one of the first TV characters to make science fun.
I thought it would be neat to add this footage to, of a reunion the cast members had for a Ducklings's hospital, that wasn't really publicized much outside of Los Angeles way back when...
Even the original movie star showed up...for years she didn't want nothing to do with the show cause after being on Gilligan's Island she was type cast and couldn't get other serious roles.
Mr Howl is not present either, but 'Lovey' his wife is...great footage.

Marriage Marriage...hmm
Where I stay, marriage is not really talked about much anymore, but I still would like to think there's something special about it, two people, who have free will, committing to one another for life, to me that's awesome, powerful and special.
I think, know and observe that a healthy marriage has many advantages.
I think, know and observe that a healthy family that comes from a healthy marriage has many advantages as well.
I myself have never been married, but the couples I observe in happy marriages seem far happier, better adjusted to life, for life, than singles swinging it on their own.
But notice I keep emphasizing 'healthy', cause I also know a unhealthy marriage can be 'hell'.
I think, know, observe, hobbits raised under two family households are happier, healthier, and more polite.
hobbits need that balance...hobbits need mom and dad both, working together as a team.
Now as far as gay marriages are concerned, I could really care the less about gay marriage...literaly...could care the less. All I care about is that whomever lives next to me is polite, quiet and clean...that's it.
Aliens from Jupitor could live next to me...would not care, as long as they were polite, quiet and clean.
I'm writing this cause I think I want to get married one day...one of the few things I haven't done or experienced.
But I've learned a lot from observing others...and one of those is romance fades, soxual attraction fades, where as friendships last a lifetime, as such people who marry someone they're 1st friends with, those marriages seem to last longer, never end, cause how do you end a friendship?
You never hear friends divorcing friends do ya?
But marriages founded on lust, or greed, or conviance, those marriages tend to fall apart more easily.
Where I stay now, the males who are married are far more responsible and socially stable than the ones who are not, same goes for the females.
I salute all those who are married, enjoy it, and don't let anyone tear your commitment to one another down.

Dr Martin Luther Kind day  I don't have much to say about King that hasn't already been said, but I will say this, I'm barely worthy enough to hold his shoes. To do what he did, in the times that he did took strength few of us have today. Dr King, when you think about it, was the original Tea Party type, 'No taxation without fair representation'... That's basically all he wanted, yet was demonized for it. Anyhow Happy Birth Day King...if I could be 1/5 the person you were I'd consider myself successful.

 I know...some of you just want that old time feel, you want me to yourself, like it use to be, where we'd just sit around and talk, imagine, in some far off place in a cabin somewhere, in the dark woods, surrounded by primortal creatures of the dark.  We seem to appreciate each other more, when huddled together in safety from an outside threat. All groups do it. Rep huddle together against Dem threat, Dem huddle together against Rep threat... Muslims huddle together against American/Jewish threat, American huddle together against Muslim threat. Whites huddle together against 'black or minority threat', blacks, minorities huddle together against 'racist white threat'... Whatever the cause, whatever the reason, everone has their log cabin, where like minded souls huddle together against outside threat. Christians huddle together against Satan and his demons, Satanist huddle together against Christains... It's the huddle effect. A common threat, is what makes many people huddle together, and forget minor differences in personality and or styles. Our threat on here, at times, is simply 'time'...  We're all racing against time, and time is our common enemy. And instead of me writing the fill in...I think I'll let you, with your unique mind, make sense of that in your own way, and how it fits your own life. But for now, we're safe inside the cabin, which is located inside the twylight zone...good evening... |

Do we die when nature says it's time, or when machine says it's time? When is life suppose to end, when our bodies naturally die, or when life support machine is unhooked, do to family wishes or judges orders? If some ones being artifiscally kept alive, regardless of whether fetus is inside or not, when is life suppose to end? Is god now a machine? 100 years ago, (not even that far back)...you died when body began breaking down, there really was no technological way to sustain or artifiscally extend life. But today, with life support, the question becomes 'when is it ok to die?' To me, technology is not 'god'... So once someone is living only because of life support apparatus, they're living not cause 'god' wills them to, but rather cause man does. If God or nature 'willed' them to live, they wouldn't need life support mechanisms. Once machine takes over, you're living by mans will, and not Gods or natures. We trip over being conscious, for a few seconds in the course of billions, trillions of years. Sometimes it's like those who believe in the after world the most, are most afraid, hesitant, to go meet it. You're born, alive for a few moments, bat your eyes a few time, than dead again, gone, dust. None of it makes sense or matters unless there's a divine engineer or architect behind it all, other wise none of it really makes sense or matters if all memories and purpose is wiped out after death. .

 Sundays are odd...cause they're right about the time you recover from previous weeks bs. I think it takes 3 days to recover, not two. And Sunday, assuming you work a M-F schedule, is right about the time you start getting your mind and energy back, your own identity back, happiness, joy, from being free. So naturally Monday would be the day you celebrate and are re-born, but instead right when you're feeling freed from previous weeks oppression, Bam, you're right back at it Monday morning. 2 days off, cannot counter 5 days of hell...so to speak. I mean it just depends on what one does, sure, some or many love what they do, and can't wait to return on Monday, but others do not. Some have to toil in the cold elements, work in loud industrial arenas, enviornments. And some have to bust their butts all week to only receive 200-400 a week, so no matter how hard they work out in the elements, or on some warehouse or standing behind register, their fortunes do not change, cause pay is set, and so are fixed bills, and past debt. So it can be draining to know that no matter how hard one works, personal fate and fortune will not change based on effort. Hard work does not always produce more pay, unless a sales man or in business for self. But if one is on a hourly wage, working hard, will not increase pay at all. We work hard now, so that we don't have to tomorrow, that's the model most strive for, work save. But now days do to lower pay and higher cost of living, saving is not something many can afford to do anymore. Many are weeks away from having nothing. Anyways, the weekends help many forget all that crap, if not just for a few days, bill collector offices are shut down, automated call centers shut down, bill cycles shut down, ect. All the automated beastly mechanisms of the work week are shut down, your free from harassment at least for 2 days. Then Monday rolls around again, way to soon. Life is almost more cruel now than it was 150 years ago. 150 yrs ago, most families homesteaded, so you didn't have to be employed in order to survive...all you had to do was live on land, grow food, tend crops, live stock, and you were good. A price wasn't put on your labor. Your labor sustained you and your family or 'group'... 'Employment' is kind of a new phenomina. Work isn't, but employment is...there's a big difference....big big difference. A beaver works at building a dam for it's family...  There is no income tax involved here, no fees, no hourly wage, the Beaver or Beavers labor for self and unit only, as humans use to do, as the Indians use to do, and other tribes around the world. Beavers don't contract out their labor for some cheap measly return. Man has bastarderized existence for many. Turned a beautiful and free planet into nothing more than a big merchants store. It's a yogarted way of life that many have come to see as normal, but it's not. The Beavers above live a more normal life than most do who are forced to sell their labor for a measly wage under current system. No wage can equally compensate you, a person, for 100's of acres of land and freedom their ancestors enjoyed. The trade off is absurd. $8.00 an hour can never equal what say a Navajo indian youth would of had if still free to roam and hunt as they please, and learn from elders, and explore the miracles and marvels of life on their own. Salaries are almost an insult to what one could really have if just free and left alone to live, as wild geese do.  Something went incredibly wrong with man, where as the animals stayed on course... |

Anyone who says they 'hate the President, or that the President 'hates' his own nation (as talk radio hosts disqustingly tell their listeners) is simply a monster.
I found his speech invigorating, even though none of what he says effects me, but I still found his speech, ideas, to be positive, the total opposite of what the negativity talk radio hosts pump out 24/7 around the clock.
I wish this President well, just like I wished President Bush before him well.
I can't get to wrapped up in mans affairs, but I do know positive from negative.
Love from Hate.
And politics tends to breed hate in people, for some reason.
Not a bad speech at all.
Not so much as a studder, the man can speak, where do these older politicians get their energy from?

As far as the Republican response, I just had to turn the radio off, just more Fox News talk radio doom and gloom.
Same old doom and gloom.
Why go from sunshine to dark clouds so soon after Presidential speach?
They should allow a whole day to go by before giving response, regardless of who's in office.

Does it seem likeDoes it seem like everything you ever wanted in life gets stolen from you, past, present and future?  The person you fell in love with long ago, stolen by someone else, or lost in time somewhere. The career you wanted, stolen by circumstances. The joy and happiness you thought you should have now, stolen, gone, hidden away. It just seems, sometimes, that everything you want, desire, is stolen, taken away, hidden away, where it's hard or impossible to find anymore.

I kind of feel like going out tonight...  Social media is like a graveyard...it really is. Nothing is accomplished on social media...nothing. If you want to make things happen, you still have to go out and meet folks, there's no substituting that reality. Social media is like a drug that makes you feel important, that you matter, when you really do not, not in the social media confines. You can waste hours typing thoughts, pretending your thoughts matter to dead souls, or you can simply get up and out, and go boogie somewhere...have some real fun, as humans, people, did for 1000's of years before social media. Social media is more like self theropy when you have nothing better to do. But nothing will ever become of it. You'll never become famous for writing anything online...unless you're already famous in real life. People will not acknowledge your 'greatness' or 'profoundness' unless they first see you in the media...that's just how folks are conditioned. Jesus, the lord himself, could be on social media, and no one would pay him any mind. If you want to stand out, you still have to do it in physical world first, before anything you type or say has meaning to anyone...sad but true. |
