George Washington turned history, so that others could exploit what he turned.
George Washington is a true 'hero'...and is really not responsible for what followed his triumph, in the name of greed and commerce.
Michael Jackson, James Brown, Elvis P, The Beatles, Burt Renolds, Frank Sinatra, none of them would be here, if not for what George Washington did...odd how that works...

President Obama...I suppose you want me to explain him...
He's an 'invention'.
'Gods' way of saying 'your hatred and bigotry doesn't define me'.
None the less, the mans still human and as such makes mistakes...but is very genuine in what he does and believes in.

Some people grace this earth...are so beautiful, so soft. As if corrupt 'gods'...if that makes sense. But yet their original essence still shines. Their characters are foul now...or I should say 'natures'...but if you didn't know their natures...you'd be impressed even as an alien... A certain people are, or can be, so very beautiful...physically, and sometimes spiritually. But the world quickly corrupts. But none the less they are a reflection of something different.  |

Why are angels and demons allowed to habitate same areas?
Why are people with values and morals forced to habitate same areas as those without them?
America would be a much cleaner, productive nation today, if not for the legacy of slavery, and all the residual effects of.
I wonder how different America would be if millions of slaves from Africa, were never shipped over?
Would it be more like Australia I wonder?
Who knows...although that would make a interesting Novel.

Sorry you all...I've been spacing out lately, in that thoughts have been more scattered lately. Like first post up top...doorways open and close. I'm watching more media, cube is shifting, just like in the movie. Don't know where I'll be until cube stabilizes. Real life is beginning to fascinate me more again, than online life which really adds up to zero when it's all said and done. You can spill your heart and soul online, and in the end it all adds up to zero...absolutely zero.  Sad but true. |

But a true writer writes as much for self, as for others, probably more for self...it's like breathing...if you don't do it, you don't feel like you're alive. But as far as expectations from writing online...they have come way way down. I realize now it's all for not, adds up to zero...maybe less than zero...maybe a negative.  Negative in that all the energy, time, wasted online, if focused in 3-D world, no telling what it could have produced, what real life friends and relationships could have been formed or forged. So yes, dumping thoughts online can have a negative over the long run. Real life is much more fun, cause you can instantly see how people are, can instantly read their emotions. Most people are stupid, and totally display emotions, body language, in obvious ways you can read instantly. A smart person is not that stupid and obvious. But in real life most are stupid and totally reveal how they feel through body language, posturing, tone of voice ect, as such they leave themselves wide open for Cons. And a 'Con' could be anyone from a caniving lover to a manipulative salesman to a possessive relative. Don't be so obvious... If you hate someone, don't be so obvious about it. Neutrality can sometimes be your greatest advantage until you access the situation. But stupid people make their intent and reactions known immediately, thus revealing all their cards...  And some (cause I can hear your thoughts) would simply say 'Well that's just being honest'. But I say it's being stupid and short sighted. Since none of us our God, even when we're 'honest' about our fleshly bias, doesn't mean we're accurate. A KKK person can be very 'honest'...but it doesn't mean their honesty is an accurate accesment of anothers character... An extreme radical Islamic person can be 'honest' about how they feel about you, but it doesn't mean their 'honesty' reflects the true reality of situation. So remember, honesty is not always purity. Again...no one reads this so it doesn't matter that I share it, but those who learn from it will become a bit wiser, but most won't...cause most of the time human nature, animalistic nature, trumps wisdom. Instead rappers with gold teeth, football jocks with nothing to say...they're the ones people want to listen to. Not an ancient ghost adrift in the Twylight Zone. |

 For some reason I find myself fascinated with the NFL Draft procedures this year. I normally don't care about this stuff, never paid attention to it in the past, but for some reason this year I'm engaged in it on the radio. I feel happy for those athletes selected out of college football teams to go fulfill a dream by playing for, being drafted by, NFL teams. Instant riches and fame. Even though we can't all achieve that, or ever will, for some reason I feel happy for these guys, each of them, as they get drafted into the NFL. As they wait around in anticipation, most at home now, since in 3rd round, but still you can only imagine the excitement they and their families have, while glued around television and finding out they've been drafted by NFL team, dreams instantly made. Again, most of us will never achieve that kind of instant fame and riches, but for some reason, this year, I'm enjoying seeing others make it, others become joyful, others seeing hope in the future. I wish them all well and hope they make the best out of their rarest of rare opportunities most on this planet just will never get... |

 When ships sink today...When ships or passenger fairies sink today, you don't get the same heroism you got from passengers, particularly the men, back when the Titanic sank. There's nothing ceremonies or romantic about sinking ships today, or I should say the people on them. It just goes to show or demonstrate how much certain value systems have changed over the years. Back when the Titanic sunk, the men, most of them, behaved like saviors, they didn't panic, instead they stayed calm, followed instructions, and helped usher the women and Ducklings to safety under the Captains command. Today, the Captains are always the first ones to secretly leave the ship by helicopter, and give commands safely from their Penthouse...  In most cases, the crew innocently thinks the Captains still on board, while he instructs them over the cell phone. Today, sadly, it's everyone for themselves, and more than likely the women and Ducklings would get trampled by everyone trying to stamped to life boats. Not saying people from 1912 were saints, when it came to other social issues, but I am saying people in general tended to have more reverence towards things. That reverence is all but gone now, at least in pop culture it is, you can still find it in isolated communities here and there. |

I forgive you Donald Sterling (Clippers owner or former owner)
I forgive you, even though a lot of people won't...but I do...your frailties and imperfections are no different than mine.
I hope you learn and grow...that's what life and redemption is about.

Can't believe in this day and age people, even media personalities, still confuse Government oppression of free speech, with a private citizen spying on someone and leaking tape, two totally different issues, concepts.
To wore out to explain the difference which intelligent people already know.

Time is everything, there is nothing outside of time...  Outside of time, we have nothing. It's why 'timing' is so important, to do things when in the mood or spirit or 'age', otherwise years later the passion might not be there. The time might, but not the passion or desire to utilize time the way you would have years ago, which then becomes a waste, or 'waste of time'. People plan for tomorrow, plan trips years in advance, yet tomorrows not even garunteed. The worst way some one can rob you is to rob you of your time by not helping you achieve something, a goal, a dream, school, lessons, a project, a business, when you have the passion to do so. Or when people fail to notice your talent grace and beauty when young or younger, and instead wait for you to get old and whither before paying tribute to you, when it no longer matters. The most selfish thing you can do is rob someone of their time, when younger and in their prime. It takes a rotten warped soul, or souls, to do that. |

 Even though we live in a 'bloggers' age, public sharing of thoughts, I still think it a good idea to keep a personal diary or journal, cause there's just some things, if you have self respect, that you just can't share online or to strangers. But writing it down for self can give your life context years later, or even clarify things after you pass. Personal, private, handwriting or typed, diaries are still a good idea, and healthy. Cause when you're writing to self, knowing no one else will read it, you'll be a lot more honest...and it can be therapeutic as well. Honesty helps a healthy person to clarify self. You can say what you really want about a situation or person or people or even self, and then evaluate it...like being your own phycologist. Personal diaries are still healthy, not for others (cause they'll never read it) but for self. |

 I'm watching the movie 'Carrie' right now, and the movie seems more warped and odd to me now, than when I watched it long ago. I just can't tolerate the abuse, for some reason, even though I know it's a movie, but back then the acting is so real, they picked performers who so fit the roles of their characters, that it doesn't seem like their acting. The movie just seems cruel to me right now, for some reason. Some people never get love, and then those who are lucky enough to get love, or be loved, turn around and abuse those who love them, like in this movie. Just makes no sense, no sense I want to know about, at least not now, in the mood I'm in. |

 TV, most television shows, what a waste of time. You get in a zombie like state, constantly barraged with commercials. It seems you're seeing more commercials than show, and that's usually when I just say 'forget it'...once I realize what's being done, and how my time is being wasted, simply to have products shoved down my throat. I have cable now, but still prefer DVDs, cause I have more control. I can stretch one movie out over days if I want, by watching a little here, a little there. I can pause screen, capture image, write article about scene ect. I'm just not a TV person anymore. Actually it's all the gunk in between the shows I can't stand anymore. Also shows like Bill O Reilly, and all the other glam type opinionated commentary news gossip shows...there's never any solutions, panels of opposing opinions are assembled, they argue, talk and scream over each other, then go to commercial...nothing resolved. It's the same thing over and over again...everyone just ends up screaming out their opinion, they all go away angry, and no ones opinion has been changed. It's like Intellectual UFC Fighting, only they use their egos, instead of kicks and punches. All it is is entertainment, and the show with the host and guests who scream and shout the loudest, usually have the highest ratings. I can only take about 20-30 minutes of TV viewing per evening now, if that. And TV viewing robs you of your own imagination and thought...you get into this 'celeb' worship mode. You begin to diminish those around you simply cause in your mind they don't meet up to the standards of those on TV. Can't believe long ago, not that long ago, I too wanted to be famous...what a trap that is. I'd rather be rich, and live a quiet life, than famous and all up in the news everyday. That seems scary to me now. |

Hello...
Haven't been around on this thread lately, just hasn't been my priority, kind of like just letting the chips, moods, outlooks, fall where they may.
You can never force anything, and must allow moods and outlooks to evolve naturally.
One sad thing about life is being smart, wise, learning from past mistakes, doesn't always equate into fiscal prosperity or physical health and vitality.
That's what's kind of sad about this world or realm.
By the time some people are wise, finally understand things, they get sick and die, or remain poor and broke and or unable to share what they have learned with others...where as a fool may have a big platform and share their foolishness with millions or billions.
There's a lot of sad ironies to life actually.
Gotta run, mood has shifted, drifted...
