Watching old Star Trek episode, the episode where the two men have black and white painted faces with different roles, ones a outlaw, the others a bounty hunter...  Also thinking about Lebron James and his $42 million dollar 2 year deal with Cleveland. Do people realize the ridiculous amount of money that is...good for him. Others can barely pay light bill, repair car, pay for medical. The world is so lopsided when it comes to pay and justice and comfort. Oh well, at least he rose up from the average ranks, and didn't inherit the money, as an athlete he has earned his value. Anyways, back to ordinary blue collar TV viewing... |

Why does everything always come back to Johnny Cash?
What a song, what a intro, one of the best movie intro's of all time.
Totally sums up the absurdity, or madness of humanity...

 Not sure why shows like 'Matlock' intrigue me now. In the past the slow pace of such shows would bore me, but now I find them soothing and calm to watch in a world that's moving way to fast. Shows like Matlock are quite clever, and give you time to think and figure out what's going on, like reading a book. |

How do I really feel about the current President?
No more or less than I did about Bush Jr or Sr or Reagan or Johnson or Kennedy or Lincoln or any other man.
Or better yet, bio computer 'being' sums it up here in this scene from the movie 'Demon Seed'.

Just chillen
To those who like me to themselves...just chillen.
Calm evening, layed back elevator music type of Jazz and ballets.
And it's elevator music blasphemy when artist try to remix elevator music with funk, or anything with 'attitude'.
Elevator music is what it is cause it's so 'square' and harmless and neutral.
Elevator music is not dance music, or funk, or 'cool' or trendy or techno.
Elevator music is suppose to be square and uncool to the masses.
Can't stand when geeks think they can add anything to classic instrumental songs decades old...you can't.
Elevator music is not suppose to be trendy or cool.
This song barely makes the cut...but elevator music is suppose to be square, not funk or hip hop or heavy rock sound to it...just like laid back butterfly music.
Where all can feel welcome and relax, like a dream.
And no freaken sleaze to it.
If you're one who thinks you have to make elevator music sound 'cool', than you totally don't get what elevator music is about.
Take that cool crap somewhere else.
Elevator music is for those who just want to be released from all expected restraints, and be, feel, as generic as society will not otherwise allow them to feel.

 Yes, this is a big mansion of thoughts, ideas and expressions, with many rooms and thorough ways. Odd scary thing is that eventually you'll find yourself in here, roaming these halls, expressing thoughts. Welcome to the Twylight Zone. |

Going to a better place are ya, but are you going to be a better person once there?I often here people on Death Row, right before execution saying stuff like 'At least I'm going to a better place now' ect ect. But my question to them would be and is...sure you may be going to a 'better place', but once there are you going to be a 'better person'? And to me that's the true question they should ask themselves. If there is or assuming there is a 'better place', why would a keeper of such a place allow anyone in who was 'dark'?  Of course no one wants to believe we're, they're, going to a worse place, after all it's self preservation to want to believe we are worthy of redemption, even though we routinely deny redemption to others. But my point is, just cause there's a 'better place' doesn't mean all would be allowed to enter. I suppose only a true majestic being, capable of seeing through the human heart, could truly make such an assessment. Belief is powerful and comforting, and people facing their demise all have the right to 'believe' whatever they want, is, that will bring last minute comfort. Kind of a parting gift to self, I suppose.

Frustrating evening...
Things just seem to break and or vanish.
The only things you seem to loose are the things you value and need, and same applies to stuff that breaks or malfunctions.
I'm also really getting sick of commercialism, it's so hollow and doesn't speak to the soul.
Commercialism only assumes you were put here on this Earth to by crap, and outside of what you can buy, you have no value.
It's as if nothing else about your condition matters in commercialized society other than you buying something.
And I don't like it anymore...I don't like adds, don't like commercials on TV or the radio.

The Devils Advocate What a wonderful and very powerful movie, just watched the ending of it this morning. Certain lines in the movie are very profound like... 'The Law is the new Priesthood'So so true, as the character played by Al Pacino emphasizes that in todays world the Law is into everything, and defines societies, the law is embedded into every ones daily lives like a serpent. I also like the line where he says... God gives man 'instincts' then creates moral law in direct opposition to those instincts'One of Al Pacino's best performances ever. All that aside for a moment and I have other things to express, like why do I have to wake up every morning and see the Mike Brown case in Ferguson being discussed in the news. Regardless of the outcome, the outcome will not change my life in one shape or form either way. Life goes on, bills still must be paid, decisions made, medical bills paid, insurance, career decisions and so forth. I'm tired of the Mike Brown case already and don't think it has to be blasted on TV for the next 8 months where there are so many other issues that effect peoples lives. We all have our own issues to deal with, and wasting hours watching Fox or CNN doesn't solve any of our own personal issues, it simply distracts from them for a while. It's been awfully hot down here where I'm at, so I just took some time off to sort things out. The older you get, the less you really want to do, the more vain everything seems, the more you realize you're just going through the motions basically for nothing in that in the end you in up old, sick, and inside a grave or cremation churn. In a way it's sick what you have to do simply to maintain a basic standard of living in this nation. You have to basically prostitute yourself daily at job you don't particularly like just to get tossed a few useless tokens at end of week that barely keep you above the poverty line. Doesn't matter how tired or wore out you are, the minute you stop you loose everything and will be on the streets. Most everything you earn is simply syphoned away from you and put back into system in the form of Taxes, fees and or commerce. And then you're given a few toys, to make it seem 'normal'. You drive around in your 'lease' car, you turn on your TV set, watch your cable, play with your Iphone, you buy a few gadgets here and there to make what is corrupt seem 'normal'. The same way you shove a passifier inside a babies mouth, to 'shat them up'. And that's what's done to the majority of people in the new society...stick big passifier inside the populations mouth and shat them up, give them just enough to stay one level above those in Ferguson as to not have social unrest break out. As to not have groups like ISIS break out all over the planet. Keep the people, the populace passified and calm with McDonalds and Walmart and cute Kia cars and hair gel and Dollar Stores and all sorts of other cheap little gadgets. Keep them buying 'nothing' and they will feel as if they have arrived at that spot'Oh gee, I'm free, cause I can drive down to corner store and buy some plastic colorful dishware made in China, and cute little sandals, and hair products. I'm free and passified.' Free my behind...what an illusion. Anyways just thought I'd share some thoughts on here, I haven't been around as much here lately.

Thing are starting to make less and less senseAnd the structures around me are starting to seem more and more scripted. And if you yourself aren't 'scripted', following some kind of social, political or cultural script, than seems you're 'cut out of the action'. Tonight I just turned everything off in disgust, the TV, the Radio, it all just seemed scripted.  I felt like shooting the TV, the adds, the people in the adds, everything just seemed so disengenous, or fake, shallow. It all just seems fake to me now, and insulting, when commercialism has nothing to do with sustaining basic life needs and is why so many are going insane, or take medication, cause this new world system doesn't deal with the basics anymore, instead people are just shuffled along like cattle who are forced, yes forced to participate in a system that is unnatural. Even the adds on here annoy me. The things that are on my mind have nothing to do with commercialism, nor can the issues I face be fixed by commercialism. It's sickening to me what society is being transformed into. You fight hard and labor just to get what little money you have then are forced and expected to give it up as quickly as you earn it. And the news cycles the same crap over and over again. I'm already sick of the Ferguson story cause the news has beat it to death and spun it in racial terms rather than abusive cops term. Certain Officers abuse everyone, not just 'black citizens'...but CNN and other networks spin it as if it's a racial divide thing, and that makes me sick to my stomach, cause that's not what people were originally protesting about....but the media keeps repeating the 'racial divide' thing...and people are to stupid to call the media on it. Now this dern Ferguson crap is going to be in the news for the next 10 months, like Trayons case was. And the media will push whatever narrative they must simply to keep it in the headlines, sickening. I'm surprised a new Noah's Flood just doesn't wipe everyone off the face of the Earth again.  Where are the cleansing waters? The waters that will wipe everything out again, everything, all traces of society, and just start all over again from scratch, no library or books or nothing of this former age left to contaminate the new or a new beginning. No Rep, no Dem, no Jews, no blacks no Arabs, no Muslims, no religions, nothing, all things, everything wiped out, accept for the basic elements of nature. All the hate, love, passion, every thing buried and gone and returned to the soil, or bottom of the ocean, or turned over in the Earth where molten magma rids the Universe of any presence of this current age. No history of nothing, as if man simply never was. Water, fire, does it matter, as long as it wipes everything out. Sadly though, most of us aren't responsible for how the world is today, most of us did not engineer current societies, and are just born into them. Like I said in opening Sentence, nothing makes sense anymore.

Hello
Old PC crashed...I lost so many cool pics I had of self, pics I doubt I can ever recapture.
You have to be in a certain mindset, mood, to take creative portraits of self.
Oh well, at least now with new computer it's fast.
Old PC had to much stuff on it I guess.
Not much going on right now, raining outside.
Other than that not much going on.
Just another night, evening in the Twylightzone Mansion.

The Zone is a odd place in that's it's pretty much evolved into a 'read only' type of blog forum. It's really the only way thoughts posted can remain untainted by subconscious influence. The Zone is like being in a big large Mansion all alone, where there may be other spirits adrift, but no one sees each other do to being on different wave lengths...  Different wave lengths, different times in life, different experiences, yet each plain is valid in and of itself and does have meaning or it wouldn't be expressed. Here peace and quit reign and is how people have come to like it, each finding their own voice somewhere within these vast halls, while not tripping over anyone else. Like 100's being in the same room, or Mansion, as pictured above, yet each invisible to the next. What does that allow?...it allows honesty. And honesty is the purest type of writing. |

I'm about in zero mood to write right now.
I feel I'm neither here or there.
Kind of in between separation from 2 weeks ago, and waiting for next week. I wish this in between time could last forever.
The need to work and toil for meager wages just seems vain to me right now.
And everything keeps going up accept average working peoples pay.
Rent goes up, mortgage goes up, car payment goes up, this bill, that bill.
Then on top of what you don't already have, you get bombarded with commercials trying to part you with even more of your money, as if only role in life is to spend.
I have a decent place right now, but if I have to continue to toil like a slave to keep it...I don't know.
I just do not know.
What happens when you get to the point you no longer like job you have, yet when off or on vacation, have no interest in applying for a new position or job or career?
I think that's called 'Hey world, just leave me alone'.
Like many, I'm no longer interested in climbing up any ones 'ladder'...cause I realize by now unless favored by those on the inside, you're just wasting your time.
People, managers, owners, like who they like, and that's that, and if you don't fit their template do to size, age, color, gender, orientation, political identity ect, than you're simply locked out of the up ward mobility elevator...and will always suffer as a common laborer.
That's all for now, surprised I even wrote that.

Social media has been one of the biggest wastes of my time ever.
Of all the years I've been on social media, nothing has ever become of it, accept one friend I actually met, and actually talk to on the phone, that I met from a forum I use to be a member of.
But other than them, nothing has ever come of all the posts I've posted.
In todays world, people would simply rather 'steal' your ideas, steal your thoughts, than give you credit for them.
That's just the world we live in, most are empty skirts, empty suites, who want to remain relevant to their corporation or news room or job ect, so instead of giving others credit, they 'steal' other peoples ideas, and creative content, and make it seem as if it's theirs.
There's so many things posted, written, here in the Twylight Zone, that end up in news rooms, Sports shows and elsewhere the next day or week.
It's disgusting, not that they use it, but that they're to slimy to give credit where credit is do.
So in todays world, no matter how 'brilliant' you are, online others will simply steal your content, and repackage it as if it's their own.
You have to be very slimy to do that.
And is probably why most bloggers monetize their writings, to protect their content.
But I don't.
I write cause it's my passion...not cause I want money for it.
As such no one can ever look me in the face, who's in the media, and tell me they're real when I know how much of other peoples stuff they steal.
To dam insecure to give others a hand up.
So instead they steal your content, and act like you don't exist.
Or keep 'praise' only amongst their known colleagues.
I'm powerful, and if they ever come to me I'll expose all their BS, I'll undress them in front of the world, and they'll be naked.
And that's why, thus far, they leave me alone.
