Well I did go out last night, created a few more memories to tuck away, things, moments, to look back on days, weeks, months from now.
I had a decent time.
For some odd reason though, I never go out with the intentions of meeting anyone. I'm a solo type. I have more fun going out alone, it forces me to interact with everyone.
When you go out in a group you don't really 'mix it up'...when you go out in a group, you tend to stay within that group all night long.
I'm just the opposite in that I go out alone, and as such end up mixing it up with everyone else's group.
I show up alone, and always leave alone.
And I like it that way for some reason.
I almost take on the role of a host, when I do that, in that cause I'm with no one, I end up greeting everyone.

I'm getting sick of online BS...I just unsigned from popular social site, again... I need new computer, new printer...nothing beats reallife journalism, street journalism... where you hand people a news letter, and leave links on there for them to look up or follow. There's no short cuts to real life. I should go out and get a new freagin computer tonight...  |

Everyone is stupid, and comes to the wrong conclusion, always...which tells me God resides in no one...

I need a break from social media.
Social media no longer inspires me, it simply amplifies the sins of man...more deceit, more lying, more shady behavior, amplified.
Man is sinful, whether online, driving a car, or carrying a spear...that basic nature never changes, regardless of how technology channels it.
Do try to have a decent day.

No social media today...
I want to try something different.
Instead of dumping so much time and thought into FB/twitter ect...I'd rather take that time and thought and apply it to learning new skills, developing new interests.
Studying different stuff.
Social media is like a sponge, it really absorbs a lot of your time and attention, it sucks so much creativity out of you, but gets you absolutely no where.
It would be better to apply all that online time towards school, college, getting a degree, certification in something.
But social media blab gets you none of that...you can waste hours, days, weeks, months, post 100,000 posts, on social media, and you won't be one credit closer to a degree.
Now multiply that by millions, who waste gobs of time on there.
Not saying you can't do both...not to mention social media continues to evolve.
But for the most part you still have 'followers' or 'friends' who never ever respond, or maybe only 2% do.
So I'm going to try another route.
Not sure what that route is yet, but one thing for sure, hours, precious hours I'd normally spend on social media like twitter, I can instead spend searching out new venues.
Social media really only works for you if you're already known, already are a name brand.
People could care the less how smart or brilliant you are, unless you're 'famous'.
That's why on twitter so many use nauseating professional sounding titles 'music artist and producer'...seems like everyone on twitter is a producer or artist...it gets nauseating.
No ones just 'hi, I'm Bob, or 'hi, I'm Jane' anymore.
The whole environment has just gotten to fake for me, people are trained from early on to be fake, in order to impress others.
Another option I have is creating another forum like this, but this time opening it up.
I could, in essence, create my own community, my own FB ect.
We'll see.
But just playing the role of Chief moderator really wouldn't be all that fun.
All I know is I gotta try something different, other than just dumping hundreds of original thought content onto other sites, who turn around and use your content to grow their data base, and you get zero dollars of the revenue your content helps to create.
FB/twitter, get millions, maybe billions, of people to write content for them, for free.
I'm at a point now where I don't really need to be popular on line anymore...it's kind of meaningless, unless you're getting paid for it.
Maybe a online radio show might be my next avenue.
Actually I really just want to create good ole fashion news letter again...where you write content, then print, then distribute to real live people, places.
To me, that's still the best way to build a fan base, real life interaction.
Then after you build a real life fan base, then you can get twitter, FB ect...and you'll know the people following you are real, and they'll know you're real.
Anyways...we'll see.
I un joined twitter, so for now my attention will be here only.
Twitter is a great way to promote stuff though, to get views.
If your blog isn't linked to a social hub, views are hard to come by.
Stay tuned...

Not being in cyber space has already paid off in that I went to workout and met a real person, with athletic ambition, who wants to be a fighter.
That's what I'm talking about...I wouldn't trade that moment for 10,000 likes, meaningless likes, or 10,000 twitter followers, most of whom are bots.
To meet a real live person, and connect, at a gym, that's real life, and that's what social media can't give you.
Social media, now days, pretty much just serves commercial interests and Government.
It's basically a platform where you voluntarily give over all personal information that in the past required court order.
Social media was, is, has, crippled my ability to actually get up and out and accomplish real things.
Again, you can do both, but without a real life foundation first, social media is kind of meaningless...
This blog forum is not social media, rather it's a....well blog forum.
Where different aspects of life can be expressed, have to be expressed, in order to breath.

 A friend of this blog sent a pic from their backyard, up in Mass...and I told them I'd upload it. Very rare you all...very very rare indeed. Look at all that snow...makes me want to build an igloo...  I remember being in elementary school, and fighting in the snow was always the most fun, cause you could throw people, get thrown, into a pile of snow, and you felt more like a stunt man. I also remember peeling out on iced over parking lots...oh the days when life was simple. Thanks for the pic friend, and stay warm! |

I've been off social media for a few days now...and thoughts haven't slowed. There's so many truths to life, dynamics, that everyone lives by, are effected by. I haven't been around 'good' people in such a long time, I'm starting to forget what that feels like. 'Good' people being people who accept you 'as is' with no ulterior motives. Simply relationships built on compatibility, and not job performance, or 'need' or any other motive. And maybe that episode only truly exists once in your life, while young and in school. Everyone plots, and no one is truthful. Employers plot against employees, and employees plot against employers. One side of the family plots against the other side of family. One side of team plots against other side of team. People are constantly splitting off and dividing...the process of cell division continues always, on a social and spiritual level. We all became, do to cell division. Although the opposite of that would be when large corporations merge. The minute a nation is formed, divisions begins to occur. The minute all major religions were formed, within weeks, months, divisions occurred. I'm really just writing for myself right now, that's why I'm not including illustrations, like I normally do. When I write for myself, I don't really need illustration, nor do true die hard readers. Everyone is damaged on the inside. If you look to good and stunning, folks don't like you, if you look ugly, some find security in that, cause it allows them to shine. I see unmotivated people with drab personalities, hired onto positions which they don't belong, but the person hiring them favors them for some reason. Well the reason is usually cause they don't pose a 'threat'. 'let me hire someone who won't out shine me', thus says the hirer. 'let me hire someone of my same ethnicity', thus says the hirer. 'let me hire someone of my same religion', thus says the hirer. 'let me hire someone I'm physically attracted to', thus says the hirer. And we could go on and on with this. Everyone is tilted in their own favor. And I suppose there's nothing wrong with that until it starts effecting another persons ability to prosper. Lets face it, if you don't prosper while young, than you'll be working till you drop. Cause modern life, the fiscal system, demands payment. And as the strain of payment increases, and people earn less, crime will skyrocket. Fiscal crime, cyber crimes, identity theft crimes. Cause the system continues to say 'pay me!' or else, and so it drives even educated, college degree people, to turn to crime in order to feed the system. Computer Engineer's, Attorney's, high power types, will become more corrupt, steal, as they already do, in order to 'feed the system'...(it's the people who design the systems that know the systems vunerabilities.) College students, programmers, ect, will start turning to crime (or hire their services out to corrupt organizations)...who do you thinks behind all these sophisticated cyber scams? Not 'Doug' from the street corner. Fraud will increase, and the internet just helps amplify it all. Man has fed the vile ways of his heart into cyber space now. More and more people don't want to be apart of the system anymore, but there's no where to go, no where to retreat. So more and more are becoming anxious. You can't even watch a movie on your DVD player anymore without the data being tracked, marketed, so now you have to unplug modem or cable or ect, totally disconnect from web, to watch a movie without having info tracked. My world would be a lot different than how the current one is configured, that's for sure.  |

Please return your shopping carts to proper receptacles I bust my butt all day long, go to store, tired, worn, but still always return shopping cart to proper receptacles....but so many do not, and it really annoys me. Leaving shopping cart next to car, for someone else to deal with, is like the ultimate sign of laziness and slothiness. "oh, I'll just leave shopping cart in middle of parking spot so that next person has to get out of their car and move it out of their way'... All these people on food coupons where I shop, nice cars, free food, and are to lazy to put shopping carts in designated receptacles. Walking 10-30 feet out of the way is to much of an inconvience I guess. So many of us are lucky to live in a nation that goes out of it's way to make each induvisual feel pampered and 'special'....'Oh I'm so special...look at my car...I'm so special'... But if most of us lived in Russian, Africa, Asia, South America, we'd be humbled real quick. Anyways, just got in...very wore out.

HelloI've been kind of low key lately. Not attached to any social media hubs...but that may change again soon. You need hubs if you want to get views....but right now, at least for last few days I just needed a break from views, so now any one who happens to view what I write, it's all just by chance or luck. It's just I waste so much intellectual talent on social sites, give away so much 'art' for free...and you get nothing in return, so by disconnecting I kind of wanted to take the time I'd normally spend on social site, maybe writing own book or something, or starting other online projects. This forum blog site really has it's own feel to it, and doubt I'll change that feel...it's unique in that it's a blog, that uses a forum to blog in rather than traditional vertical, up and down template. I really just want to start old fashion news letter, paper and print format again, all I need is new computer and printer. There's nothing like old fashion print, to reach people, to lay at bus stops, offices, stores and doors. People are still more apt to read what's in their hand, that which they can touch and feel, than shifting through a 100,000 online blogs and other bs. Emails are about useless now...but faxing, or leaving printed document taped to office door, is still very effective. People will read what's right there in front of them. I should go get a new computer today...that would be nice. And a printer with a fax, scanner, copy, and any other features. Should be able to get both for under $800.00  I mean lets face it, you just can't get much done without a computer these days, a computer is almost as important as having a car or vehicle, these days. A computer and good decent printer/scanner/fax all in one.  Heck, if you have good computer and all in one copy machine, there's nothing you can't do, no one you can't reach and practically nothing you can't create, (add 3-d copier to that list). You can write songs, print songs, send songs, learn different languages, take stunning self portrait photos of self or others, create resumes, fill in applications, start business, send faxes to News rooms, receive faxes, create news letter, the world is in your hands if you have good clean computer and all in one copier. Order things online, create online business, art ect. You can even create your own movies...edit and release. I use to upload very soxy pics of myself, and stupid people never even knew it was me, they thought I was taking photos of others...that shows how stupid and dense people are...as if I myself can't be 'soxy'... Dense m/f's... Anyways...computers can be fun...but must keep them virus free. And ideas mean nothing if you can't share them with others. That's what printers allow...they allow you to share and distribute your ideas with others. You can even start your own news room with a computer...forget journalism school, just go out and interview people on your own, and create your own news paper! Computers are the great equalizer of the day. gotta run, back soon.

Sunday night comes, you're relaxed, begin to feel human again, creative side begins coming out, creative thoughts, start thinking about things you want to do that makes you happy, projects, hobbies...
Then Monday comes along and snatches it all away, turns you into nothing more than a grunt again...a grunt who labors, mindless labor, working around mindless souls.
How cruel...

My favorite movie 'Drag me to Hell', the DVD broke...and now it won't play...  Sometimes I feel like we're all being dragged to 'hell'.. I've probably watched this movie more than any other in my life, about average common person who happens to cross wrong soul, and has cursed placed upon them. It's like they make one moral mistake, and have to suffer the rest of their life because of it. Then there's others who seem to be able to get away with anything, and be blessed for it. Kind of makes no sense. |

People who freak out when they find out someone they've known for years is gay, are odd to me...more odd than the gay person.
People who freak out when they find out someone is gay, have never been around gay people, at least not open ones...(every ones around closet gays, or bi-soxuals).
But very few ever announce they're 'bi-soxual'...that doesn't have the same punch.
Not only that but not all orientation leads to soxual interaction.
Seems some are more comfortable with their hobbit announcing they're a serial ax killer, than to announce they're gay.
Just odd...the reaction that is, that some have to someone they've known for years announcing they're gay.
Not sure why they feel they must suddenly treat the person any different.

Hello...hi... I know some of you all just like, miss, the old fashion 'regular' me...or blog... Where I just post and act very generic and firmiluar.  Kind of like older kitchen lay outs. Kitchens make many feel comfortable, cause it's where meals are prepared, and where many good memories take place, took place, expecially back during more traditional times. This place here has become that kitchen for many, but through a 'twilight zone' lense. This is that kitchen, and I'm the one who prepares the meals for you, in the form of written thoughts and ideas. This is where you come when you just feel like being yourself, sitting down at the table, and being served a dish of honesty. lot's more to follow, so make yourself at home inside the kitchen... |
