If you avoid people, you avoid issues.
I come to that conclusion after watching all those detective shows on TV, the 'Justice' channel, 'True Detective', and all the other such shows.
It seems relationships with others can be both a blessing, curse, and your eventual demise.
It's probably why I'm still prospering, not socially I'm not, cause I keep to myself, but as far as other areas, yes (at least to my dull standards).
But when you watch these detective TV shows, you see people turn on each other who have been friends for years, decades, or you see family turn on each other.
You see, on these TV shows, roommates killing another over money, even small change type of money, you see, on these TV shows, family members kill one another over money, inheritances and even lesser reasons, co-workers, the Milk man and so forth.
It seems people who value money are the most dangerous, or have the potential to be.
Such people seem like angels until the begin to run out of money, then they'll do about anything to not go broke.
So I'll end as started this post...and that is, if you avoid people, you avoid issues.
But sadly it can be lonely doing that, so have to find the right balance.

People should start 'reverse spamming', in other words when receive unsolicited mail or email, than why not unsolicite them right back with stuff of your own, church flyers, this news letter, than business promo, and then add the solicitors names and addresses to own mailing list and give them a dose of their own medicine.
And even sell the solicitors names and addresses they way they compile and sell 'yours'.

Gun sales on the rise...why?
Gun sales are on the rise, and my question is why?
There's nothing that has occurred over last few months, including riots, that would make me even think of needing a gun.
And many first time gun sales are being recorded.
1. Most of these guns will end up being sold in the 'black market' where they will end up on the streets in the hands of criminals, who will indeed use them.
2. Many of these guns will get stolen, criminals love stealing guns from peoples cars and homes, and once again they'll end up on the streets in the hands of criminals, who indeed will use them.
3. Many of these guns will end up being used domestically, in interpersonal fights, spousal issues, and so forth, people will get drunk and feel empowered and accidently shoot themselves or someone they loved.
4. As a result of all these odd people buying guns, and ammo, violence will surge...not only that but expect innocent people to get shot for not good reason by paranoid gun owners in the suburbs.
Say some 'black' mail man or other delivery guy approaches door, and paranoid home owner thinks it's a robber, or Uber meals delivery guy, or any number of dozens of delivery services.
I'm just not sure how a gun, at least in my own life, will help keep me safe or safer.
Actually I'd rather buy a ballistic vest instead, I'd rather be shot, survive and sue, than to shoot another by mistake, and spend rest of life in prison, or other legal proceedings that would wreck rest of life.
I mean now days with all these sue happy Attornies, even if you think you're justified in shooting another, it won't nessisarly get you off in 'Civil Court', where survivor or their family can spend rest of life suing you.
Tonight I actually feel less safe knowing that more people have guns who don't have the proper mindset to handle them.

The News has become way to toxic
The news has become way to toxic.
Both political sides deliver the news in a very toxic manner.
In real life, as a contrast, when I go to work, I see normal people of all colors getting along and doing their job.
In real life I don't see all the 'street activist' types, I mean I know they exist, but not in the numbers media makes it seem like.
Nor do I see black folks crying out loud for justice, or for 'better conditions'.
The blacks I encounter, in real life, have very good jobs, are managers, drivers, Port Union workers (who make very high salaries), city officials, business owners and more.
But according to both left and right media, all blacks all bunched up in the ghetto, like the TV show 'Good times'...with JJ.
Even Floyd's family grief wasn't about 'economic conditions', but rather 'police brutality', and that's got hi-jacked by dozens of other groups now.
Now you got 'W' millinials running around flaming the fire, and telling 'blacks' their oppressed.
One black lady on the news was seen telling 'W' youth 'No, I'm not oppressed, not until you all just burned down my building'....or something like that.
A new type of ugly racism is emerging among younger whites' and that is this idea that all black people are oppressed, and that it is their duty to help all these oppressed black people even if oppressed black person a Doctor earning 6 figures.
The type of arrogance, and condescension this new white youth based racism takes on, where you determine everyone else is afflicted and disadvantaged by 'I'm not', is dangerous.
Racism is basically when one thinks they have the right to define others that suit 'your' interest and not theirs....whether done by Liberals, or Conservatives, it comes from the same 'spot'....
Short on time, must wrap up here.

The Zone is not the fastest moving 'thought forum', by no means.
Nor does it, can it, compete with such forums or social media platforms, no way, not even close.
But what the Zone is, is more like a collective library of thoughts and events that stick around years or months, after others have moved on from them.
As such, I think the Zone tends to attract more older readers who like to reflect.
I mean I to, sometimes see what's going on today on the streets, and all the videos of action, and 'thrill videos' and all, which if sitting at homes makes you feel 'old and dated', or can.
Today's modern quick moving social media can make you feel obsolete even, if you let it.
But even those you see in these videos aren't always hyped up 24/7, or will be forever, and when they do tire, and want a deeper perspective of where they were at years ago, then maybe the Zone will still be here for them to read...only time will tell and knows.

For the first time in a long time I'm bored.
Everything's a lie, everyone lies.
People always say 'I'm not racist', just for them to resign in public for getting caught calling another a racist name, when they didn't think they were on air.
It's just all so stupid.
Racist people love saying 'I don't know any racist person'.
It's like ISIS members saying 'I don't know any one who's radical and cruel'...
Of course not, cause evil people rarely see themselves as being evil, duh
There just is not cure.
Truth is people are cruel, always have been, always will be, and most who are not, aren't, simply cause they have it good at the moment or are atop the social ladder of comfort, but let them become desperate and see how quick the animal in them comes out.
Everyone is 'bad', it's just right now in history, 'white' bad people happen to be atop the social ladder....but in another 300 years 'black' bad people may be running the world again.
No matter how you arrange people, they're bad.
Just look at all those true detective shows, guys killing women for no good reason at all.
It just amazes me, a guy, will finally get a nice lady to go out with him, and then ends up killing the lady, for no good reason, and they'll do this over and over again, serial killers.
When many of those women who dumb enough to date serial killer, wouldn't give 'you' the time or day.
I mean there are many single males who are lonely who are never given chance to date, yet woman who turns down decent guy, fly's right into the arms of deranged killer.
Again, makes no sense to me....are women that stupid??
I mean there's just no solution to humanities absurdities.
No matter how logical you are, to another you don't make sense.
IT's like 'Alice in Wonderland' world or something.
History bloody, and full of blood, yet presented in such a sanitized way in history books.
The whole world is nutty.
I wish I could start a brand new world, brand new planet, it would at least be a few generations before it to went nutty.
Bored right now.

Do I really need to grow anymore?
Do I really need to grow anymore?
I know that sounds like a dumb question but that question is the root of a lot of peoples unhappiness and inability to relax when, say, off work.
This idea that we've always gotta be doing something, or earning ever more money, I mean when is enough enough?
Me personally, when off work, and say laying in bed, or the Futon, and just drifting in and out of sleep with TV on, a part of me feels guilty, as if I should just 'be out there doing more'.
But what does 'more' mean?
I mean is it wrong to just be or feel content with where you're at in life?
I mean maybe everyone not meant to be a billionaire or Millionaire or wealthy.
But as 'go getters', many of us guilted by our own spare time, to the point can't just enjoy a full day off without feeling 'gee, I should be doing something else other than laying in bed or sitting on the couch'.
Well isn't that what many wealthy or retired people do anyways?
I mean my gosh, I have what I have when lived at home, and that is able to come home and just sit around and do nothing, when off, how is that bad?, I tell myself.
I mean even the rich and wealthy get sick, old and die, so me going out there and hussling, trying to get second job, this and that, none of that will extend my life at all, I'm still eventually going to get sick, and die, so why not just enjoy my time off 'as is'?, I tell myself.
Sure, I'm not wealthy, but one thing I do have that the wealthy have, and that is 'time'.

Down sizing
I'm downsizing my internet presence, cause most of it is just ego driven, that's how marketers get us, convince us to create this new website, buy this new service and so forth, but in reality most of it is just ego driven, and we, the ego driven consumer ends up wasting 100's of dollars per year, or more, on useless stuff we don't need.
To me, a forum, like this, is just as good, or better, than a website, as far as getting any message or messages across to others.
Forums are a much more wide open platform, than stuffy feeling website, at least in my opinion.
And forums are free, or you can pay to make it 'private', many options, and you can break off into as many sub topics as your mind allows.
It's funny and sad how everyone use to think if could just open a online store, millions of people would flock to it, and you'd become the next JCPenny's clothing store, ye right.
Maybe that was possible before google began controlling where all the traffic went, but now days, forget about it, unless willing to pay a lot in sleazy traffic directing software and services.
You basically have to be a sleaze bag in order to steer people to your site.
Me, I can't do that, I prefer word of mouth or other natural ways people find on their own.
You can even buy fake views, fake followers, fake members, the whole shabang.
I refuse to do any of that, and is why never could make a living off of my online content, cause I play fair, but in order to get ahead, you can't be fair, sad to say.
Anyways, just learning you can do more with less, if do it right.

The Zone is one of the safest, cleanest self regulated places of it's size you'll find anywhere on the web.
I mean my gosh, just tried out other video site, to find replacement for YT, and my gosh, the 'corn spam' that's on these other sites, particulalry if from Asia or Russia.
The Zone really should be applauded for basically keeping everything on here rated G....for general audience.
That takes discipline, but it also reveals character....the right kind of character.

Right now I can't stand anything in the media, I hate coved 19 adds, on here, or anywhere else, and if I were in charge, no such adds allowed, ever.
And those who disobeyed my orders would be flogged, plain and simple.
I also can't stand images on TV, how it's all staged, how people appear on TV the way they're not in real life, how women have super hero strength, and men act duffy, especially Fathers.
And how the writers of commercials still thinks any one gives a crap that women can ride motorcycle ahead of group, in a pack of male riders....as the camera pans to the woman in front.
So freagan what!...so staged!
This idea that it's still a shock and surprise that women can do what men can do, when will freagin women get over that little sister mentality crap already.
On TV, it's always WRITTEN into story line for women to outwit and outsmart men, but in real life what you see instead are coniving 'Karens', who pick up the phone and lie about others they don't like.
Also get tired of how those with the most logic, are hidden from society, while those who have sold out are pushed to the forefront to keep the population dumb as hell.
I also hate how twitter and other social media sites have been over ran, taken over and invaded by corporate interests, so that unless you kiss the azz of corporate interests by agreeing with whatever the politically correct mindset is, you basically get buried, not seen.
I hear 'Parlor' is a decent alternative, and I wish more people would fkn flee twitter and create their own platforms, and invite others to join and make twitter go banctrupt.
Maybe I'll start such a campaign, F twitter and the way they don't allow free thought anymore.
It's just scary and amazing the people who run things now.
America has it's own virus called the virus of being stupid, selfish and insecure....millions out there like that, roaming around, and spreading just like a virus over the landscape causing the death of common sense and decency.

Lazy mood
In a lazy mood, or better yet 'content' mood, meaning not in dire need of anything right now that would make me want to get up and out and shop.
And most of my entertainment takes place in my dreams now.
I mean where else can you vist your Mother, sister, and nephew when they were very young, and old neighbor and more, all for free, without having to purchase airline ticket or time machine.
Also amazing how dreams able to resurect people from the dead.
Yep, in a very fat lazy mood, even though not fat, but will be if keep this up.
No shopping for me, I think I'll just lay right back down and take another power mini nap.

Don't think life on this planet for humans always meant to be so long, take hair for example Lots of hair is a sign of youth and vibrance, that being said take a look at how rapidly hair begins to wane in males from like age 19-30. 19 = Lush thick hair 30 = thinning, even greying. Facial structure, everything, it's like night and day in many males, like from 19-30 aged 3 decades...and is usually why males above age 30 start sporting that bald look. Why is that? Seems in the past, life on Earth so viscious and rough (still is, but at least we have medicine and modern technology to shield us from the elements) But life in the past so viscious, that seems average lifespan for a male was maybe 30, if that, if didn't die of disease by that time, than probably in battle, harpooned by a spear or something.  So if didn't already have a family by age 18, or younger, probably wouldn't get the chance...(I think history will back this up for you prude types, I can't change history) Today, youth and vibrance passes in a flash, but life still goes on, and at least in the West, whether fit or not, allowed to linger on for decades do to medicine and Government aid programs. Where as in the past Hyenas would of probably gotten to us.  In the past, there were no fat, out of shape people, cause hyenas took care of that, brutal as that sounds, that was 'nature' and still is for most species, and or even nations. So if fat, out of shape and live in the West, America, Britian, ect, be glad. That aside, cause running out of time, just saying in these modern times, we're lucky most of us allowed to just linger on for decades past our prime.

I have pretty good energy at the moment, slept long and hard like for 10 or more hours, have to work later this evening, been off for a few days.
I could stay off work for the rest of my natural healthy life and wouldn't mind at all.
There's nothing special waiting for me at work anymore, it's not like being in school where you always had a romantic eye on someone of the opposite sox.
None of that at my job...just bland souls, and the ones who are interesting, well, I never get to work around them, my duties have me working mainly and mostly alone.
I've avoided jeering news headlines for the most part over the last few days, headlines are so jeering and bias, always some ones ugly choice of verbs put into headline news.
Words like 'scorching weather'...well how do they know, I mean scorching to them could be ideal for another.
And the term 'lied' is used far to much by jaded media types....a better term to use would be 'such and such was misinformed'...or even 'very misinformed'.
Heck, I've said things before just to find out later weren't as accurate as I thought, but it doesn't mean I intended to lie about it.
If someone tells you there's 4 cows outside your winder, and you tell another person there's 4 cows outside your window, and other person checks and there is only 1 cow outside your window, are you a liar, or were you simply misinformed, and should of checked yourself.
To be in the media now, you have to take a course titled 'How to be a skunk'.
(That's not a lie, that's sarcasm)
Anyways, time for next phase of the day.
later.

Sometimes not sure what direction to go in anymore... Seems everything in life, history, the future, has already been set in stone. Either you're apart of something grand or you're not... Either you were meant to be apart of something grand, or you're not. It seems no matter what you do, you just can't cheat that fate. The less you know, the happier you are... When I was younger I always wanted to be a pilot...I remember thinking I was going to own a plane. The reality kicks in years later...professional pilot training can cost from $80,000-$150,000 Banks won't loan, and who has that kind of cash on hand to spend on something you may not even get hired for... Lack of finances are a barrier to many...not smarts, not wits, but lack of finances. Then the whole 'Oh, I'll just go work for this company and rise up'...ye ok... You grow older and through time and experience learn glass walls, glass ceilings, jelousy, envy, work place rivalries...pedigree...social status and so on. You realize just being a good worker really means squat, unless you're already destined to rise up, unless you're already liked, favored. All these things run through your mind at times until it makes you not want to do anything, accept win the lottery and retreat into the forest. You have to continually earn, just to pay the basics in life, then after work, have no energy left for creative ideas. Soon, after a while, life just becomes configured of the same o, dull basic bill paying routine. Soon motivation is hard to come by, then hopelessness begins to set in in various stages. Unless you're a millionare, you begin to realize you're going to have to work and grind until you die basically...cause you'll never be able to save up enough money to live comfortably on. 20, 30, 40 years of grinding away...just to have nothing in the end. This monetary system helps some, yet kills the dreams of many. Right now though, I just kind of feel sidelined by fate...benched... View AttachmentWatching, while everyone else plays on the field. Not really sure what to do about it. Even motivation is a gift, when you have it...cause when you don't have it...it's hard to get it at times. It takes time and energy to generate money, so also the older you get, the less you feel like running off on some wild venture, not being sure of the economic outcome. So you play it safe. But after a while, safe can drain you of your enthusiasm and passions. You even stop admiring people...like people who see on screen and all...and realize they're as frail and human as everyone else...that they're not your hero, that they will never help you in any way shape or form. But yet you help them by making them rich by going to their movie, or buying their music or products...but they will never ever ever spend the amount of money on you, that you spent to go see their movie...never... So if anything, you, the common consumer, should be their heroes, for padding their paychecks by buying their stuff, or seeing their film. Not really sure what to do from here on out... I actually didn't even realize this section here went back that far, 7 years ago, wow. But has anything really changed from the above, I asked myself. |
