I've got no desire, like zero desire, to go out at night anymore.
I have newer vehicle, but I never feel like going out anywhere.
I've really changed over the last 4-5 years, even over the last 2 years.
Slowly but surely I've changed.
Not as festive and explorative anymore.
Instead I sit at home and think.

Not sure where I'm at emotionally as mood is already changing, evolving, even as I write this. But that's the Zone for you, totally organic, non scripted live action, live thoughts, live real raw emotions, good, bad, ugly and weird. Was feeling calm earlier, that's why decided to post, then anxiety set in suddenly. This is a very generic section in that I never give the reasons and the whys here. I keep this section generic on purpose, for my sake and the sake of others. Sometimes people just need a generic place to return to, to relate to, without politics, or religion or any one issue pushed. Life when young, life started off very generic for most, unless raised in some war torn area of the world, or unless raised in some slum area or unless abused heavily. But that aside, for most, assuming raised in a normal safe environment, with two parents, maybe a sibling or two or 3, pet dog, maybe a cat, than life started off pretty generic and friendly looking. The generic American dream or standard, not sure when this was lost. Generic represented order, and order represented calm and security, knowing things would always be the same. The only variable was 'you', but that's what made it fun. Rebelling in a safe generic environment, where others had roles etched in stone. But as we age, grow and expand, for many that generic comfort blanket begins to dissolve. The longer one can hang onto it, the better, in my opinion. Cause once it's gone, it's gone, then other things move in. Then you begin to realize your view of the world isn't another's view of the world, your experience wasn't there's. You may of had two parents for a while, but they did not, you may have graduated high school, but they did not, you may believe in the bible, Sunday school, but they do not. You make respect authority and the life of others, but they may not. Life, ones own thoughts, are easier to manage when kept generic. Some decide to demonize those who share other views and values, others just accept that ones own sense of normal was never there's or anyone ones else's. A rational person realizes that they're just one speck out of billions, and out of Trillions who have already come and gone. A irrational person assumes everyone of those billions and trillions who doesn't see the world as they do are bad and evil. Like the Universe expanding, the older you get the more a rational persons view of things has no choice but to expand. They stop expanding when one gets locked into a particular ideology or say religion. Then growth stops. Not saying that's good or bad, but growth stops. Even in bible, God warned Adam and Eve to not wonder outside the garden or eat of the forbidden fruit, cause what would follow would be to much for them to handle. Same applies today, many people form their own garden of Eden in own minds, where it's safe, and things are known. Heck whatever works. Cause for those of us who have ventured outside of that happy generic spot or garden, well, there's a lot of ugly surprise's that await, and a few good ones. But if I could do it all over again, I think I'd stay inside the garden second time around.

Was going to go outI was going to go out, where?, who knows..but the pitter patter of the rain, and calm quiet evening just makes me want to stay in now. It's so odd that as far as telescopes can see, there's only life on Earth, where it rains harmless water instead of poisonous gas. Is there a spiritual dimension behind all of this or is it all just random? Who knows. I just know things are calm right now, and I know, have learned, almost everyone is evil and lies, and that hardly no one hardly follows Jesus's teaching in the bible to a T. I've learned that most people act on cultural or political bias towards others, rather than logic and reason. Emotion and myth and bias seems to be what guides most peoples action, beliefs. And I know that the more you think, the less any of it really makes sense. In order for things to make sense, one really has to stop thinking and just be content to believe, embrace, whatever feels good to self. But if one thinks beyond self interest, hardly anything makes sense, and it takes real honesty and purity of heart to actually think beyond ones own self interest. Nothing is genuine, lying is not even considered wrong by most anymore. Oh well. Not much any individual can do. Odd fate is in charge. In the meantime, enjoying this night rainy night.

When younger, you naturally believe there's a God, when a bit older start questioning if there's a God, and as you get even older, start observing the absurdity the man, than you start actually wanting there to be a God, anything, that offers better hope than the system of man.
You want there to be a Heaven where you don't need a pension plan, where you don't have to worry about declining health, who's going to take care of you when older, how much money you have left, bills that never end and so forth.
Trillions being horded in some quarters, pennies being thrown around in others.
The cycle of biological life is pretty short, and for most the whole time is spent in 'want' and worry about the future.
For some though, this world, existence, has already been Heaven like, for others it has been hellish.
World wide it has probably been hellish for most, and historically, only in recent decades, say since 1950, have some places stabilized and allowed a dignified way of life, mainly in European nations.
And now non European peoples are flooding to these nations for that same perceived dignity, but what are they bringing?
It's odd in that Government has freed people from a 'Loving God' in the West, a God without a buffer, as interpited by man, is Iran or ISIS ect.
Pure God seems to be very oppressive, or religion I should say.
A god without Government always seems oppressive, and is why so many people from Muslim nations are fleeing to the west, yet get to the West and want to continue on in oppressive ways and customs.
It's all coming to a head, half the world controlled by tyrannical god, the other half ran, controlled by tyrannical bankers, and everyone caught some where in the middle.

It's Saturday morning
No fan fare like days of old on here, how Saturdays use to be celebrated with colorful gifs.
Not now, and not in a while.
Thoughts have been swept up elsewhere.
This journal has evolved, kind of leveled off, like a plane that reaches altitude and leveled off.
The question is now where to go from here, where can one go from here?
Up, further up, or down or sideways?
Only fate can determine that.
Fate is a strong master.
I know many like to say we're all in charge of our own fate, but I'm beginning to observe other ways, from even the randomness of birth.
No one asked to be born, for one, and for two when born no one pre selected what nation, era, ethnicity, class, culture, gender they'd be born as.
And also no one asks to be born with birth defects or mental defects, all that is determined by 'Fate'.
I mean do we have unique personality traits when born or is all that shaped after born do to environment?
People have been walking this earth for over 10,000 years, each generation thinking, feeling, they were on the verge of all the answers for humanity.
Each generation thinking it's the one that something special will occur while here.
10's of billions have been born then perished.
Not counting plant and animal and marine life as well.
Well where are they?
Where did they go, the essence of their beings, their spirits?
It's fun to think, believe and hope that there's an after life, but what if there isn't?
What if all those martyrs who died 'in the name of Jesus' did so in vain, and no different than some guy on the street dying in the name of his gang?
Even the whole story of God begins sounding odd after a while, I mean why would a God, active ruler, be so distant from his subjects?
And yes we're all given narratives about sin, first coming, second coming, this coming that coming.
But why would such a powerful deity have to go through all of that?
Did Aliens invent religion for their own amusement?
I mean who doesn't want to believe a kind loving spirit, or God loves us, and died for sins, was resurrected and promises eternal conscious life...what sane person doesn't want that to be true?
But in physical reality, it seems more like when you're a hobbit and parent drops you off at the park and forgets to come back.
Abandoned.
People who are famous can express all of this in song, poetry, a movie, theater ect, but obscure blog writers can only express it in a short blog post...a few read it, then it's buried and forgotten forever.
Oh well happy Saturday.

The more you try to learn a discipline
The more you try to learn a discipline the more you begin to see how few people know anything that line the halls of that discipline.
In other words it's amazing how 'stupid' most people are, even those staffed in the offices of those who do or are suppose to know.
The closer you get to any knowledge base, you begin to realize 'Affirmative action' doesn't or didn't just apply to so called 'blacks or minorities' but that it applies to all.
You begin to see how utterly un qualified people are who hold positions of authority or supposed knowledge.
It's all hollow.
Most people are simply fronting, and have been appointed or selected into positions they have no business occupying, both in knowledge and passion.
They're simply there to receive pay checks, and this comes out as you ask questions, and or seek direction, these people are utterly useless, like talking to stones, and always refer you to someone else.
People you assumed were smart, end up being very dumb, yet for years you were always made to feel you were the one who was dumb.
It's all a disappointing illusion.

Lately, everything on TV is becoming an annoyance Seems lately most everything I see on TV agitates me, from the commercials, to the news shows to the old movies HBO loves to air, to everything else. TV programing has just become really annoying to me. The news shows are all the same, all they do is recycle same 1-3 stories over and over again.CNN leans more towards tragedy headlines, where as Fox leans more towards political analyst. Every guest on Fox hates the President, even GOP candidates, as if that will help their sagging poll numbers, and every guest on CNN is an expert on this and or that. I don't get MSNBC and rarely watch CBS, NBC, ABC news anymore, not sure if I even get those channels. I do watch PBS news hour from time to time, and their news show practically puts you to sleep. And no good sitcoms were made after the 90'sYet all most cable channels play is old sitcoms from the 2000's, I didn't like them then, and certainly don't like them now. Then you have dozens of permanent infomercial TV shows, selling this, selling that. And the Hollywood glam shows don't interest me at all. No longer interested in hearing about the daily lives of the rich and famous, they certainly aren't interested in my life or my struggles, and they'll never ever help me with anything, so not sure why I should be concerned about what they do on or off stage. More and more shows just seem fake to me, and I can relate less and less to them. The walking dead TV series has taken zombies to the extreme, have taken the 'scary' out of zombies by over killing the zombie apocalyptic scenario. More and more I just like silence, dead silence. If I were in the forest I'd be happy just opening the window and hearing the wind blow the trees. I miss the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, sitting outside and just feeling the breeze in a safe area. I miss hillsides with a view, where I stay it's all flat. TV has a tendency to take away all the wonder and mystery of life, the things that made the world seem big so very long ago. Scientist always forecasting this and that, telling you the scientific explanation of this, and of that. Life was more fun when there was mystery and folklore, life was more rich, now all one does is go to work and take home small pay check and realize most dreams and ambitions will not ever come true. So in the end, like in the beginning, your mind and imagination is all one really has. And TV viewing just seems to rob people of that, with ugly news stories, people saying mean things about others, or violence. All I really need anymore is one sports channel, one news channel and one channel where they play old movie and or TV classics, other than that I don't have much use for the rest of it. And one educational channel, like Nova or what Discovery channel use to be like, now they play odd cartoons. Till next time, later and happy October.

Becoming annoyed with the averageOn the way home from work I can barely stand going inside of stores anymore, corner stores, supermarkets, it don't matter, I just find myself getting more and more annoyed with the average people I see stumbling around. For one everyone seems to be super short like midgets. And many don't know how to dress anymore, or use deodorant. Walked into a 7 Eleven today trailing some older dude who wasn't aware of his body odor, wearing house shoes, and playing the lottery, they left a trail of stink. Lately my level of annoyance is really going up. Most people don't even deserve to be in America, contribute nothing, yet walk around artificially feeling elevated. Yet can barely read, and can't never tell you about daily headlines in the news. A bunch of moe hoes were just lucky to have been born here, cause anywhere else with their level of social awareness they'd be living in huts, or poor ghettos in Russia ect. On TV everyone looks clean and kept, but in real life not even close. Not sure why lately I feel so annoyed like this, and it's worse when some second, third rate type tries to pull rank on you socially, or do to job they hold ect. I'm trying to make changes, just doesn't seem they can come quick enough. Even useless ghetto people are starting to spill out into outlining areas of towns and cities. Like muts without any purpose in life, brought into this world with no plan. I sort of do hope Donald Trump wins the election, outside of him can't think of anyone with radical enough ideas who could actually do anything.

Happy October!
Just like that a whole year has gone by.
October is, has always, been my favorite Month, so sad it now goes by so fast without the festivities of past.
Oh well, life is short, derive from it whatever meaning you can while you can I guess.
Happy October, Happy Halloween, weird holiday when you think about it.
But that's what makes U.S. fun and different.

Measuring a scary movieMeasuring a scary movie isn't about how scary it is to you today, but rather how scary it was to you when you first saw it, the scary impact it had on viewer when they first saw it is how you properly measure a scary movies effectiveness. And one of the few scary movies I can think of that to this day it's a bit hard to watch alone in the dark, would be 'The Exorcist' (The original).. Another movie that comes to mind, that at night, if alone in large place with lights out, 'The Shining' and those sadistic ghosts that stalked and haunted Jacks family in that movie. I've seen hundreds of scary movies since then, but like music from the past, only a few always seem to instantly come to memory. The Friday the 13th series, gruesome but not really scary, accept the first one possibly. The 'Evil Dead', the original one, is another one that had raw scare fact on me when I first watched it, where as now it's almost laughable, but I measure it by how it made me feel when I first saw it, and wanted to leave theater, along with a friend, we both wanted to leave, and wished the movie would end. No movie has had that type of scare effect on me since, but again viewing it now, since special effects have gotten a lot better, most would laugh at you for being scared while viewing the original 'Evil Dead'. This scene was the beginning of complete horror, as the vehicle slowly approached isolated cabin, and in the audio you could hear the twigs snapping underneath the tires, but nothing else. The audio producers of this film totally got it right, totally set up the opening scenes like a nightmarish dream, the way you abstractly hear things in a dream. They did a better job than I even think they knew they were doing, and that's the good thing about spontaneity. No other film in this series could ever match the allure of the first one. And the remake was just a blood fest with no rhyme or reason. Back then you can tell writers, directors, film makers, were allowed to use their imaginations more, back then they all weren't trying to follow some studio template directive. Big box office directive where all movies now follow the same template. (some are beginning to break away again though). But back then the directing artists were just given way more lee way, and you can tell, cause every movie felt and was different. (at least the good ones) I mean there were a lot of 'B' movies back then as well, but there were bad do to artist just having a bad vision, and not do to studio interfering. Anyways, so sad that my favorite month will be over here in less than 10 days, for those of us who adore October, the Fall, this time of the year, when it finally arrives it all goes by in a flash. But when it does, I try to mark it here, in the Halls of the Zone, where I can.

Will the Hadron collider destroy the Earth? Will geeky scientist experimenting with the unknown of particle smashing, trying to replicate the 'big bang', destroy the Earth? It would only make sense that our destruction would come about by our own hands. If man were never placed on Earth, the Earth, with just the animals, could sustain itself until the Sun ran out of energy, maybe a million more years? But with mans medling in science and chemistry, nuclear waste, bombs, toxins ect, it's like man is jepordizing life on Earth for all. Some suggest, other more responsible scientist, that this atom smasher could create black hole, in which then there's be nothing on Earth to stop it. But these selfish scientist don't care. If you don't know about this massive atom smashing machine, I suggest you look it up online and learn about the risks. Here, I've done some of the work for you... link<<< Hadron collider news and information from various links.

This is the Zone after allI mean if you want regular and normal reads about the same ole stuff, written by someone who is distant and doesn't really care or have capacity to, than the zone is not the place. Even sometimes I forget that with this section here, and why it has so many reads over several years. Cause it's the zone, there's no other place like it, and it's low key. Type into the 'search' tab up above and locate practically any topic you want. And yes, I like non mainstream art, portraits, that don't reflect same smutty, pin up sleaze you see on TV all the time. Where the woman always looks like the doll (way over done on Fox), and the male always looks like the janitor. I don't think portrait art or modeling should always be soxual in nature, always the woman dressed sleazy to appeal to male. It can get insulting after a while, especially when you begin realizing that often times a demon lays behind the make up and sleaze. I like alternative art, portraits, modeling, that is genderless in it's appeal, and that appeals more to concepts, ideas, dreams and visions. Art or portraits that make one go 'hmm'... Just always seeing a woman drowned in make up, or laying in some light corn pose in TV commercial just agitates me actually. When you realize how cruel most are on the inside, it all just seems fake, phony, especially when beauty not born of true pain. Beauty is to easily given to some, they don't have to earn it, just think it's their birth right, and that others are suppose to accept their version of beauty. Not here. Any beauty portrayed here is real, genuine and not snobby. For instance, you go to department store, out to eat, any public place, and just cause people are dressed up, women are dressed up, most still act nasty and snobby and look down on you, never having been homeless, attacked robbed in back alley and. Most have never lost it all, then came back, most have never been apart of social outcast class, not able to fit in anywhere. Their beauty is not earned nor is it genuine, cause they didn't have to work for it, but use it as a weapon against others. I know true beauty and humility when I see it, and it's not what I see on TV most of the time. If there's no celestial love behind the beauty, than it's not beauty to me, but rather a mask to cover up the ugliness within thy soul. Not sure why all males on TV are always portrayed as fat and pudgy, while always being married to model looking female, like on TV sitcom shows. Everything is by design, and everything has an effect, and is absorbed. This is the zone, if you want regular commercialized outlook, not the place.
