Side thoughts...

How do you get out of a 'Dead Zone' environment?

Which can be compared to being a ghost, in that you hear, see, life all around you, but aren't really apart of it.



A living 'dead zone' can be like being a ghost forever trapped in a old house or mansion, forever wondering the halls, stair ways, rooms, forever trying to cling onto laughter, tones, sounds of the past, and hoping maybe they'll come back, but they don't, for there's nothing in the house, and never will be.

And sometimes we live our lives like ghosts stuck, trapped, in a mansion.

And that mansion represents our environment, where we work, our social life, home life ect.

It becomes a dead zone for many, but many can't escape, or don't know how, and so wonder around in this environment like a ghost.

Desperate to cling onto something solid, but never quite being heard by others, and instead drifting through walls and floors.

And the only way out is for the ghost to move on, change enviornments, follow the light, whatever.

But most are afraid to out of fear.

Some humans and ghosts have a lot of behavioral traits in common.

A.M. Radio programing is really going down the bucket.

For years I've put up with A.M., but now it's becoming near intolerable.

The only really good show on A.M. radio anymore is Coast to Coast, where they discuss a whole variety of non political gurgle you hear all day long on other shows, and or sports.

And A.M. radio gets even more depressing on the weekends, where you have info mercials, and religious sermons, music, or out door shows, or garden shows, just awful programming on the weekends.

There was a time when talk radio stars dealt with broader issues other than spiteful partisan politics, now politics is all they discuss, electoral politics, every show, every hour, just cruel, bitter, doom and gloom ugly opinions which come from the hosts, then are echoed by their followers, just mind numbing crying and complaining.

It's so counter productive to the spirit to listen to that crap, and is why a rarely do anymore.

There's so many other aspects of life other than electoral politics.

I guess program directors know anger and rage are the easiest emotions to catch in others, thus talk radio has become a way for failing stations to build an audience, and what a shame that is.

Just read this whole blog, and see how many different aspects of life there is other than politics.

I just don't think every single issue under the sun has to be linked or tied to an elected candidate, or every waking aspect of ones life, the way talk radio hosts have seduced their listeners into thinking it does.

F.M. radio drives me nuts to, I can't listen to music over and over again.

I'm a news and information type soul...I like news, delivered in a non electoral way, and information about events around the world, tragedies, wars, science innovations, outer space, under water, marine life, chemistry, on and on, I can think of 1000's of things I'd rather discuss other than electoral politics.

Talk radio use to be ran like variety shows, where the host would take calls from listeners on a wide variety of issues, nothing scathing and hostile, just common discussions people would normally have in real life while at work or home.

But once hosts like Rush L made it big, he had the same effect on diverse radio hosts that rap and rappers had on soul music and jazz, they killed the industry all together and created a monopoly.

Before rap, lot's of styles came out of the urban community, then after rap, studios wouldn't sign any artist unless they fit the angry inner city stereotype...Anger sells in music, and Anger sells in talk Radio.

Angry talk show hosts have driven out all the sane normal ones, and Angry urban rap artist have driven out many traditional R&B bands, Jazz bands, Blues bands, Funk bands, although driven from urban communities, for some odd reason these bands seem to do well in higher end 'white' areas, where whites are looking for 'culture'.

But in inner cities, all culture has been driven out, and replaced by this new thorny, colorless rap mentality.

Where everyone is bland, and behaves, dresses, speaks, talk, sound, all the same, like lemmings.

But talk radio has created the same amongst their demographics as well.
Anger sells in politics, and anger sells in music, same recipe, different mediums.

It's getting harder and harder for rational people to find anything just in the middle, with balance.

One key to writing longevity is you can never fake like you're in a mood you're not, as such you need many outlets to complement your many moods, range of emotions, and experiences.

We get writers block when we stop opening up outlets for ourselves.

Jesus, was one of the few in history, to ever do things, operate, outside the perimeters of 'the flesh'.

All other historic figures did as you would expect them to do, pound chest, conquer their enemies, seek revenge, hoard earthly possesions for self, pro create, ect ect.

But Jesus didn't do any of that...which even goes against the imaginative writing or writers who simply tend to project self unto stories.

In other words if one is selfish, it's hard to write about being unselfish in a character.

Mohamid, on the other hand, behaved exactly as you would expect a man to behave...he conquered, killed, hoarded stuff, seized land.

Such a contrast.

One was flesh, one was spirit.

I feel my writing on here is beginning to change right now, evolve.

I will always write, regardless, but how I write and whom I think I'm writing to, does tend to change and evolve over time.

All these people you read about in history, see on TV, who's music you buy, movies you, we, watch, products we use...these people, athletes, inventors, musicians, war hero's, leaders, they were born, and made a big difference, they stuck with one thing and excelled at it.

What of the rest of us?

Are we just 'filler' material for their world?
