Say It

Tonight is a question that I would like you to answer through comments. Of course this is a lot easier on your computer then your phone. of course if you would like to use your phone please leave and answer regardless. What is your main concern about the future? This is yours personally and there are no parameters. You are open to tell me any concern you have. It can be one word or ten pages. take your time. I want to thank you ahead of time for your cooperation.

Offended?

Wiping Christianity from government. Everybody has an opinion but I think that people . . . as usual only represent what's best for them. If your a Christian you think everything should stay the way it was 20 years ago and if your not you think that every Bible related aspect should be wiped from the public  view. Well like I've said in the past. If your opinion is all one side or the other your probable wrong.

 

You can believe all the hoopla that people say about the founding fathers being this or that but let me warn you that when your listening to this argument weather they were Christians or not both sides are full of  . . . . . well, Themselves. There are only two dogs in this race. Christians and non Christians. The reason being is Christianity has dominated this country since its inception. During tough times Christians that were in government have added a lot of Religion in the Government. Such as In God We Trust and One Nation Under God.

 

Who does this hurt? Well in reality no one. The big thing now a days is to run around and say I'm offended but in truth it is impossible to be offended in something you don't believe in. That's like saying the gargoyles on government buildings offend you. You might not like the way they look but common sense  would tell you just not to look at them. So why are all these people running around acting like this is a subject of life and death. which it isn't. Is because this is more about hurting people and less about being offended.

 

Some people hate Christians and what they stand for. Just like a lot of Christians ask for this by looking down their noses at non Christians. You might think that this is a struggle of religion, it's not, This whole thing is a struggle of Ego. Who will beat who and therefore if your side wins then that just goes to prove that your right and their wrong. It's the equivalent to Arguing over wearing white after labor day. It doesn't change anything. The Christians will still be Christians and the Non Christians will still be  . . . . you guessed it Non Christians. What we really need to protect is are freedom of speech and art and religion.  Because as long as those three stay intact you will be able to display your Christmas tree and nativity scene in your front yard along with candles, Buddha and a cow.

 

And all Non Believers can ignore them. If anyone threatens your right to display what you want it's your HOA. Oh and by the way if this article offends you . . .  I don't care. As always post your comments and I will get back to you. Have a nice Day. ;{) 

Minivay.

Well tomorrow I hit the road and go back home. So I'm going to miss a couple of days. thanks for your support and I'll be back soon. Until then think about if you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Then convince yourself that it's never too late to change. Have a great Friday and a better weekend.

Blink

She walked up the sidewalk wondering if they were going to notice her today. When she walked into the kitchen her mother didn't even hesitate or pause, she just kept making her brother a sandwich "Do you want Mayonnaise or mustard?"

"I want mayo!" her brother said louder then necessary. He always wanted mayo and her mother asked every time to give him a hard time. This brought a smile to her mothers lips and she couldn't help but to smile also. She would miss this well she wasn't sure about that but she thought she would. About twenty minutes latter her father walked in.

 

He kissed her mother and slapped her brother playfully in the head and then grabbed him and gave him half chock hold and half hug from behind. "How was school?"

"Karen punched Jimmy at lunch today."

"Well I'm sure he deserved it." Dad flatly stated.

"He did." her brother said still giddy about his father coming home.

 

Just like her Mother, her father didn't say anything to her or acknowledge her.  She wish she could take it all back. It was her fault that she was in this predicament. When she had come back it had been too late but she couldn't leave once she saw her brother crying and she longed to make it up to her parents but she knew she would never be able to do it until one day she saw them again a long time from now. She turned around without saying goodbye and left. No one even noticed. before she knew it she was in the light and this time not one told her to turn back.

 

She was wrong about missing the things she thought she would miss. She never missed anything again. The second thing was she didn't seem to take anytime at all to see her family. First her Mother then her Father and then her Brother. It all seemed like a blink of the eye but she was still happy to see them.

Paid For!

 Young Americans for Liberty's photo I really don't know what their group does but it sounds like they are on the right track. Except they forgot that as Americans we have the right to complain about anything! They are on to something when it comes to board people trying to get their self worth by telling other Americans how to live.

HEY now I don't fall into that category. I'm not telling you how to live, I'm telling you how to feel alive. lol. So any way try to remember that if your all one side or the other your probable only half right. Besides I shouldn't have to go back to those famous words "He that is without sin, cast the first stone." We need to start worrying about our rights and less about trying to control each other. If your a single man or women and you think being gay is wrong that's fine. But when you try to tell them to be like you aren't you kind of being counter productive. I mean the more gays of your sex the less competition for you. Just saying.

Remember what I've been saying all along. The politicians want us to fight so while we are worried about who's marrying who they can take away more rights and do less. In reality about 90% of us vote our pocketbooks anyway. So if there is no chance of voting the other side, meaning democrat or republican shouldn't we at least start making the crappy people in office do their jobs. We are their bosses. What do you think your boss would do if you turned in crappy work then told him he needed to cut back on his coffee breaks. Our government needs a major revamping. Less about being in my business and more about doing theirs.

This isn't land of the SUSPECTS and home of the SAFE. It's land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE. We already have the best country, why are we trying to become more like those other countries. Politicians pull your heads out. Your just like everyone else. If you think England, Australia, Canada, are better don't let the door hit you in the ass. America is one of a kind. We are the best because we don't follow others. So why are we trying to do things that Hitler and Mussolini and other jackasses did. Like spy on our own people, take away freedom of speech, take away guns, and make us totally reliant on the government that cant find it's ass with both hands.

If you don't think that they are trying to take away your rights take this into consideration. If you speak out about the government like I just did. They have the legal right to come into my home without a warrant and take me forever without a trial and if they do release me they can put me on the terrorist watch list and that will take away every single right I have as an American. I won't be able to travel, have guns of any kind, They can drain all my bank accounts, take my house, my car, forbid me to see my family and friends, and snatch me in the middle of the night anytime they want and keep me in a dark damp hole while they torture me.

You say they can't do that. Oh Ya? If I'm not a criminal, I don't have any criminal rights. I won't be considered a traitor, just a possible terrorist and I'm not a POW. So yes they can. I wonder what a red white and blue swastika would look like. Now I'm not pretending to be important enough to get this kind of treatment but how are you suppose to get both sides of a story when they can wipe an American citizen off the map like swatting a bug. If the United States Government told you I was a terrorist would you believe it. Nobody that knew me would but that's the point. When your trying to sway a nation you need a lot more then your friends and family to believe you.

You see since 911 we have given them permission to do what ever they want and guess what. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" I guess you all think it's going to go different this time, for us, than it did for every other civilization since forever. History doesn't repeat it's self because it's inevitable, It repeats it's self because we keep on doing the same stupid shit. You should never support any law as an American no matter what the circumstances are that takes away another's rights especially under the falsehood of safety. That's what makes us different. Are we really going to let them decide for all of us. I mean why not. there doing such a bang up job already. We need to start being real Americans that stand up for America and stop being a Democrat, republican, independents or what ever other category you can fit yourself into.

We as a people have stood up to the government several times and we have always eventually got our way. When people have lost there lives standing up to wrong doing by our government. . . . well you can't get more American then that. Can you Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. King. There are thousands of others, don't you think we should have more respect for their sacrifices. Every single right that is wrote into our constitution has been bought by blood. Think about that the next time you tell someone else how to live and don't worry if the minority keeps running the majority you won't have to worry about that. Pretty soon the government will tell them how to live. Lets stop applauding when our leaders break and stretch the law to mandate minority regulations on us just because you belong to that party. Winning is not that important when we all lose.

If the government was doing their jobs in the first place we wouldn't have whole cities and states in bankruptcy. We wouldn't have corporations killing kids for profit. and a thousand other things that our government could have stopped long before they happened. Oh I don't know like the great depression. Starvation of our children in our own country. Instead of spending billions on Something super important like people smoking weed. Lets stop pissing on the lawn while the house is on fire. You don't have to agree with me, that's the beauty of being an American. But we need to start standing for something and we need to do it together. I think a good thing to stand for would be something we already bought. Freedom. I didn't go fight for my country there so I could lose it here.

Your Job

Ok lets get ready for the future. First of all lets stop thinking that someone else is going to fix our problems. Number one is your kids. Your kids are being told by society the wrong things all the time. On TV, on the internet, by the kids at school and by adults all the time. It's your job to make sure that they understand this attack and why it is being waged on them. The truth of the matter is the only person that benefits from your child being informed is your child and you. IF you don't stand up for them then who will? Calvin Klein, Victoria's Secret, the Internet, Apple Inc., Teacher, A Sports Coach, who is teaching your kids why they need to be smarter when it comes to life. I'll tell you, If your not then there is probable a 99.9% chance that they have no idea that they are being scammed on a colossal scale.

 

One of the biggest weaknesses we have as American's is believing the hype and if your feeding it to your child your more to blame then the multimillion dollar companies trying to pry every cent out of your child's hands. If you have the money and you want to spend a 1000 dollars on a purse that's your business but don't buy your daughter the same purse or even a 100 dollar purse because you are setting them up for failure in life and all their friends too. Your right, your kid will be the envy of everyone at school but at what cost. When you don't give a realistic view of the world then you are failing as a parent.

 

You should be talking to your child about saving money and the evils of credit cards and banks and outrageous prices on what things cost. You should at least a couple of times in the 18 years that you have them spend some time helping out the less fortunate, the earlier the better. I don't think it's going to have much of an impact on your 18 year old. As a matter of fact I don't think you would be able to get them off the phone long enough to even know what was going on. A 11 year old though can be told to leave their phone at home. If you cant get your 11 year old to put down their phone you have bigger problems and need to get control of your household. If you can't put down your phone you can't correct them.

 

Back to our problem, this shows them reality. Some of the people you encounter in need have college degrees and had good paying jobs. Don't fool yourself. If you don't think this is reality I can tell you it's a lot more realistic then buying your child the best of everything. You can buy your child gifts, I know I did, but I never bought her the most expensive of anything and I let her know that when she was out on her own that things were going to be tuff. She's still learning but she actually knows what I was telling her rather then ruining up a bunch of credit cards trying to buy the things she is use too.

 

So unless you plan on supporting your kids habbits for the rest of their lives your need to stop. If you are going to support your kids for the rest of your life and then your going to leave them a couple of million when you die then buy all means do what you think is best. Just know that kids that have everything get bored and boredom leads to things that I don't have enough time left in this year to cover. Your child's financial education  is your responsibility, even if you don't have a clue your self it's your job to make your child's life is not like yours but better.

 

Don't let society brainwash your child. Adults tell kids what makes life covenant for them. A coach can be a good example but his main purpose is to teach your kid to play a game not teach your child how to survive. A teachers main job is to teach your kid whatever subject is on the curriculum. Besides did you know that Teachers and Coaches lie to kids all the time. Ya, if you don't know this your not paying attention. Why wouldn't they. Do you think that other people put your kids best interest above their agenda. Heck half of my daughters coaches and teacher didn't even have kids. That doesn't make them crappy teachers or coaches it just makes them too inexperienced to be giving your child advice, besides that's not their job.

 

Now I know that none of us know everything that is going on in our child's life but if you teach your kids the real ways of the world you don't have to. Make sure that your kid knows that they don't have to believe adults. They just have to be respectful to those above them.

Well

Well it's Saturday and if you work the kind of jobs I did all my life that doesn't mean anything to you but if your like most people your enjoying your weekend. I'm not going to take up too much of your time I just want to remind you to remember that a lot of people work so you can enjoy yourself so be kind and courteous to all those people that work 24/7 so you can relax. Be nice even if their not, just don't tip as well.

Jump

Take it from me life can be complicated and if you have the wide perspective on life there is more than one way to skin a cat. What works for someone else will not work for you. You have to do things your own way. Now that doesn't mean that you do things the wrong way it just means if you can achieve the same goals as someone else by taking a different route then by all means do it. Don't let people stop you when they are only looking at things from their point of view. It's OK to make things easy on yourself as long as your not leaning on everyone else to pick up your slack. Your choices do impact your life and those around you but if your a planner and your entering new territory find out as much as you can and then jump.

Once you jump you can do a back flip a front flip or spin or even dive strait down but when you get close to the ground don't forget to pull your chute. Meaning there are some steps that everyone has to do the same way but when it comes to advice. weight it accordingly and then do what's easiest for you as long as it will accomplish your goal which is to land safely on the ground. Use common sense but you can't fly unless you jump. Good Luck.

Light

Don't let them ruin your generosity. I've heard it from lots of different people. I use to give to this charity but the main guy was living in a mansion stealing from the charity or they were only giving ten percent of the proceeds. Or some other crappy thing that crappy people do. Then what happens? We stop giving. We spend all our extra money on five dollar coffee and fifteen dollar fast food or forty dollar restaurants not that your not allowed to spend your money on anything that you want. It's just sad that somebody has to suffer because of some low life scum that would take money from people that disparately need it. If they didn't disparately need it you wouldn't have given it in the first place. Just because someone else steals doesn't make you an idiot for being generous. When someone does this it just makes the people in need . . . . . need more.

 

If you gave before, give again because it does make a difference. Also don't think that you have to put all your eggs in one basket. If you want to give smaller amounts to five different charities then do it. Also when you give your money to somebody it doesn't belong to you anymore so if someone stole from a charity they didn't steal from you they stole the help from the people that needed it. If it wasn't for the giving people in the US the world would be a darker place. We need more light.

Polywhatanates?

OK back to business. Today I want to talk about plastics. Plastics are a vital part of our lives. The plastics industry is the gas and oil industry and are 5 out of 6 biggest companies in the world. So that means they are the most powerful in the world. So what we need to do is band together to fight against single use products that until today I used everyday. Plastic shopping bags, soda bottle, plastic cups and lids. We can make a difference. All it takes is a change in our attitude. Oh and by the way I have discovered that there is a ton of chemicals on heat sensitive paper they use in receipts that enter your body almost immediately through your skin so something else to worry about. I just brought that up because BPA is one harmful chemical you do not want in your body all though it can be found in approximately 93% of us in substantial amounts. BPA is in all your drinking bottles, All your baby bottles, and all your sippy cups. The worse part is Canada has outlawed BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups, and guess what, the companies made BPA free ones for them. So what the hell is are government doing. Nothing as usual. Did you know there are at least 13 chemicals in foods in the US that are banned in almost every county in the world but the US. Why because we bow down to big business. Our government doesn't give a crap about you or your kids unless they can make money from it like all the zero fat and low calorie food that had a whole slew of other chemicals that kill you and was found out to make you fatter. Imagine that. Why are we so scared of cholesterol but not BPA or brominated vegetable oil, sodium benzoate or dozens of other unnecessary chemicals in our food.

BPA is a chemical that was original produced as a birth control drug but it wasn't strong enough but they latter found a use in  . . . . you guessed it. Plastic or Polycarbonates to be specific. So you may say so what's the big deal. Well first of all it's an inhibitor and it causes all kinds of problems including diabetes. the inability to get pregnant and it is a large reason that females are developing at such a young age. Just look up BPA online and you'll find plenty of info that I can't relay as well as they can. So maybe it isn't the growth hormones in cattle or it might be but why add more problems to your child's life.

So all you have to do is stop handling receipt paper and stop drinking out of so many plastic bottles. Just a heads up and I know your not going to like this. Soda and water bottles are not safe at all as a matter of fact research has shown that if your water or soda bottle gets hot it releases enough crap that they are saying throw them away instead of drinking what's in them.. Oh did you know that they line aluminum cans with  . . . . .no don't say it . . . . . BPA and according to one lab test the highest BPA came from energy drinks. I don't know why, maybe the companies don't store their product in controlled environments.  So how hot was the warehouse  that they sat in or the back storage room or the delivery truck. Just something to think about. Even if we stop plastic bottles and handling receipts and stop using all one time use plastic we have another problem on a much larger scale

Millions of tons of plastic is in our oceans and plastic never goes away every plastic molecule every invented is still with us to this day. So big plastic becomes little plastic and then plastic sand and so on. When this plastic floats around it collects lots of other bad chemical such as DDT. IF you know anything about this crap you want to stay away from it. So you might say good plastic collects it. Isn't that at least one good thing. Well it might be if fish and birds wasn't eating this crap by the tons. A good example of this is at Midway. If your a history buff you know this was the turning point in the war against japan. It's a tiny island chain latterly in the middle of the ocean between the US and Japan. It is the place where all the currents collide and create this big bunch of plastics from all over the world. And they are finding dead animals at an alarming rate and these animals all have plastic inside of them. Well I don't know about you but I'm a apex predator so that means I eat stuff out of the ocean and your guessed it. all those chemical that came form plastic are adsorbed into the animals that eat it and the animals that eat them. The United states owns midway atoll and your not allowed to go there without permission and I saw that it took one person three years to get the paperwork just to go visit and see the devastation for herself. There is a full time staff of scantiest and volunteers that collect the plastic and send it to who knows. they had 40 thousand pounds of it or twenty tons of just plastic debris in one year and that's a drop in the bucket to how much is actually in our oceans.

So How are we going to start to fix this problem. Well there is no way to get all the plastic out of the ocean but I'm confident in time most of it will wash up some where and then it can be collected. what we have to do is cut it off at the source and this is where you come in. First of all stop handling those damn receipts and have them put them in the trash unless you need one to possible return something then handle it like it's toxic and wash your hands afterwards. Second this is stop buying and using one time use plastics. If we stop buying it, they will stop producing it. Get you some permanent shopping bags and put them in your car. Buy your family a soda maker that has bpa free plastic containers that can be reused for three years or drink tea in BPA free drinking cups. Oh and one thing I forgot. the hard plastic Sippy cups, get rin order them from a web sight that has BPA free. If you would really like to find out more there are several articles on the internet but here's one to get your started to show you what your up against.  http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090521141208.htm

You might find reports that say that BPA in food and drink is lower then what was determined by the government that the big corporations are paying. Some none government scientist have found that BPA had adverse affect on the baby making machines of the mice in levels a thousand times lower then recommended for you or you kids. The plastic companies didn't want you to know that so they tried to get the scientist to sign a piece of paper that wouldn't allow the research to come out until they decided it was time. The same law offices, spin doctors, advertising companies,  research company's and lobbyist  are working for plastic that used to work for the cigarette companies and they are using the same methods of covering up the truth. If it wasn't for whistle blowers we would all still be puffing away thinking wow Winston is toasted. Well the secret is out what are you going to do with it.

Watcher

Take it from me, when I was in prison it was no picnic, People always take you for granted in prison. All everybody wants to do is take take take. I don't know exactly when I decided it but that's not surprising because in prison days run together. I didn't care what day it was just how much time I had left but it was sometime in my last six months. I just decided I wasn't going to give them anymore. You see I had just came to the conclusion that they were going to charge me with the other five murders. I didn't know what kind of evidence they had but I wasn't to happy. I had already done three years and now all of a sudden I'm the prime suspect in five more cold cases. Even if the cops were just trying to close out files they only needed one first degree murder conviction to send me up for life.

I might have to take it in court but I thought if I'm going up for life I sure in the hell not taken it on the inside. So I decided it was time to start showing these boys what I was made of. See they thought I was going easy because I was scared but the truth is I was going easy because I wanted out.

Besides you cant do your job if in your in the pen but when I think about those guys talking behind my back and smirking it is almost as satisfactory  think about what I will do to them as it is on the outside but here they can stop me they can throw me in super max and I can never let that happen so what to do but one day I was laying on my bottom bunk when it came to me. It was so simple I started to laugh out loud. I never had thought about it but it was the perfect solution and all these guys in here and I had never even heard of something like this being attempted.

The more I thought about it the more sense it made. Lucky for me I hadn't started my plan to make them pay. Now I would have to rethink everything. I thought to myself as I laid their catty as a school girl. I got up just as my cellmate came in. he looked at my hard and before he could get the first word out I hit him in the throat and grabbed him by his long greasy hair and smashed his face into the cell wall. Ya it was time. My blood started pumping and for the first time in three years I felt alive and this got me thinking about how enjoyable it would be to end his life but I had to contain myself until it was time.

I stopped short of ending his miserable life and I leaned down while my hands were still around his throat. I grunted low into his ear "If you ever talk to me again I will kill you. Then I kept the arteries on the side of his neck pinched off until he went out. I knew when he woke up he would have a hell of a headache and he would be lucky until he came at me. Then I would finish it. I picked him up and threw him on the top bunk with all his shit. Then I left to take a walk around the cat walk. I had to make a call so I went to the common area and signed the list and sit down on the end of a table by myself. I did what I always did, I watched. I was a watcher, it was part of my job. How could you do your job unless you knew everything about everything and the only way to figure that out was to watch. Other guys would try this and that. They made it easy for me because I just watched and saw. I saw everything from everybody so I knew everything the prisoners knew and everything the guards knew and the best part was no body knew I knew. calls were ten minutes a piece so I would be here for awhile. two hours later the guard called me over.

I gave the guard the number  he called it for me and I picked up the metal hand set on the super short cord and put it to my ear. "I need to see you was all I said into the handset before hanging up just in time for supper. I sat in the corner with my spork in my hand and prayed nobody would mess with me today. I was so close I cold taste it. I could also see me sticking my spork into someone's eye socket and blowing the whole thing. If I had got into trouble at that particular moment it would have been to late but that didn't happen and that's why I'm here today on my job. I thought about wearing a guards face and trying to walk out but it wasn't feasible but it was entertaining to think about it. So enough beating around the bush because I have to do my job and typing this is holding me up.

So anyway it came time for my court date and I had my plan already in action I showed up to court and I was delayed so they brought me back. And I was doing my job. I watched every move of everyone that handled me. Three days later they had me again and it was different guys but their moves were almost identical. I was delayed again. Good thing I made that call. They say third time is a charm and it is unless your a guard. This was my move I went to the bath room and my two guard's watched my like a hawk the whole time I was on the crapper. You see though they cleared the bathroom before I would go in for safety reasons. They searched the whole bathroom before even letting me in. One guard would watch me while the other watched the door and him. It was a pretty good plan. The one by the door to far away. For this reason I chose the last toilet in the huge bathroom. The first guard was out before he hit the floor. The second guard ran down the bathroom to protect his partner like any good guard would do. To bad for him. I took him down and choked him out. I really wanted to kill them but there wasn't time to enjoy it and I didn't have the time. I walked strait out and into the woman's bathroom next door. I pulled the trash bag out of the can and put on the long wig and stuffed the jumper into the trash pulling on the huge hat and black pants suit then I went to the mirror checked myself then I walk right out of the building. No one will ever know who helped me. Especially you. You see I'm a watcher and I've killed dozens and I see you now reading this in front of the TV. I'm doing my job.

F@#$%@# Them

We have the ability to remember lots of different things, good times bad times,  but unfortunately our experiences that shock the soul haunts us above all others. We often think about when somebody did something to us or we did something to someone else. Just in writing this my pulse increased a little and anxiety starts to creep into my throat. These are memories that will never leave us once we file them away. Some of us have memories from the time we are little and others not until latter but the result is always the same.

 

That's why forgive and forget is not a real thing. Forgiving is a choice and not a feeling. Sometimes when I think about what someone has done to me or someone else I start to feel the same things I originally thought like anger and emotion if I don't push it from my mind I can actually taste the disdain in my mouth. I really don't know a way of not feeling this way. I guess the answer might be psychotherapy or maybe medication. I only tell you about these feeling because I think I can't be the only one.

 

So how do you cope with this. The answer is forgiveness. How do you think WWII veterans felt toward the Germans or Japanese. They Hated them more then anyone could ever hate. It was more personnel then it could ever be but in the end they forgave and became friends with each other. Of course some never did forgive but most did eventually. That doesn't mean that those old feelings die with your forgiveness but if you forgive you can push them down easier. As matter of fact the more sympathetic you are toward your enemy the less they control your mind and therefor your life.

 

It's not because you are a bad person it's because anger and hate are all consuming and the longer you let those feelings go, the more they control you until your just a petty bitter                            . Well you know. So your forgiveness releases you not them. Think about it this way. Forgiveness doesn't mean you have to be friends, it doesn't mean you have to let someone walk all over you. it just means your not going to waste your time and emotions hating someone that may not even care or know that you are mad at them.

 

You may say they deserve my hate. You may be right but does it even make sense to spend time on someone you don't like while ruining and missing the times with your real family and friends. If your relationship requires communication such as work. Be professional and nice. Let them waste their time on you and not the other way around. Who would have thought that the best way to get even with somebody was to Forgive them. Oh and don't forget to forgive yourself.

Beyond Now

Take it from me we never know what is in our future. We make plans and say we will do this or that but in reality we are not in charge of tomorrow. We are only in charge of the right now but even though we are not in charge of the future what we do right now changes the future forever. Keep in mind that when you are conducting yourself in the everyday world you never know who is watching and filing away your actions. It could be a co worker, your spouse, or your child or a complete stranger.

 

So you may say "so what I don't care" but what you fail to realize is that all of this could have tremendous consequences in the future that we have no control over. So what you say and what you do need to be thought through. For me I have let my mouth override my common sense several times so how has this affected my life. Well I'm really not for sure and neither are you. What you say and do now far exceed your lifetime. In a sense you will effect the world forever. You don't have to be remembered to affect the world. It's not a requirement.

 

What your great great great grandparents did still effects your life to this day, you are a product of your past. The simple fact that you are here is one way that there decisions have forever changed the world. Where you live, what your parents are like, you're moral and religious traditions all steam from decisions that they made. You might say, my parents didn't go to church and I do so they had nothing to do with that. I bet if you think about it they have some kind of negative or positive influence that helped you make your decision.

 

Not only that but who influenced you to go to church in the first place. Who's actions affected you and therefore the world forever. It's really a beautiful thing if you think about it. Nobody will ever be forgotten not in name but in action. We do count and we do make a difference. Maybe you didn't invent the computer but maybe your great great granddaughter will invent a world saving cure and therefor your greatness will be cemented by your actions today. Be a positive force and great things will happen in your life time and beyond. Or as Buzz would say to infinity and beyond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Be Selfish

I guess all answers point to the same solution. Only you can change you and if you choose not to then you will continue along in the world the same as today. If you are happy with today and all the days to follow then there is no need to change but if you are not satisfied with your current situation then common sense would of course dictate a reason for change. I think history has proven that people can not make real change unless they themselves are convinced it's for the better.

 

Everyone has convinced themselves to change temporarily to get what they want but most change back to the original life after they have achieved their short term goal. I have heard it said that the longest the average person can put on a rouge is about four to six months meaning that your true colors start to come out the longer you go. This doesn't make you a monster, it just makes you human. You want something so you go after it anyway you can but once you achieve your goal you go back to your real ways.

 

I only bring this up because it's proof to yourself that you can change if you want. You can help yourself. It only takes about thirty days to form a habit so when you go back to your old ways after this it's because you want too. Well this works both ways. If you want something bad enough then nothing can stop you from changing. You have to do this for you and only you. As I have always said any change can only come from the inside out and not the outside in. This is one time that you must convince yourself to do it for you. The will to change is your first step. Without this you might as well save your energy until you're serious.

 

Everybody is different in the way that life time habits are changed, it is essential but not easy. Maybe considering what benefits you will receive in the over all picture will push you in the right direction. It sounds selfish but any improvement you make will benefit anyone that comes into contact with you and make you a happier person.

Steam

Well as usual I'm having a hard time coming up with more subject matter. I did waste a perfectly good rant on Facebook but it was too much fun not to share with everyone. So I think we need to stick with the subject of University of Michigan, Flint music professor Brian DiBlassio. We as the normal people in life need to start standing up to bullies in all forms no matter who they are. When someone belittles another for no other reason than they do not agree with them we need to stand up and stop the madness. Most people who stand up to belittle someone else do not expect normal people to say anything because we usually don't. We just keep our head down but wouldn't it be great if we could shut up just one of these wackoes that have taken advantage of the fact that we don't like confutation to basically walk all over our way of life and treat us as substandard when we don't agree with them. So next time you see somebody being a bully stand together against stupidity.

 

On the other hand if you really think they are crazy . . . . . .

 

This is basically just me blowing off steam, I would never ask you to put yourself in harms way. Me on the other hand . . . . you might not want to try something like this when I'm in the room. Ok I feel better now, thanks.

Loyal

It would seem a shame to let a day slip by that I didn't give you a hard time about something and then tell you how easy it is to fix but today you've lucked out. I want to thank you for helping me push past my two month mark with only one day being missed so far. You have proven to me that there are some people that still let their word be their bond. I'm not only lucky to have such people as my readers, I'm happy to have a lot of you as my friends. You guys have done me a great service and given me the opportunity to be part of day.

 

Well I guess because of your support we keep going until something gives. don't worry I will keep you all updated. I do still need you to keep supporting my in this endeavor so please share on Facebook, Tweeter, Text, Instagram or any other way that you can think of. So here's the link WWW.heystopcrying.blogspot.com.

 

I just don't know how to show my gratitude more unless you make a special request for a story so if you want me to write about something as always leave a comment. Thanks again for all you help.

The Bridgless Gap

I can tell you from traveling the world that when you say that somebody from a different country isn't any different then we are in America . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Well your couldn't be more wrong. The only thing that tie us together is our human emotions and the ease which we choose evil over good. That doesn't mean that we can't live in peace with some countries that just means we will never be able to achieve peace with all. People from another country don't under stand you just like you can never understand why your Parents act like they do because behind every country just like every generation there are things you can never explain to someone. Just like you can never walk in the shoes of a war vet no matter how much halo you've played or how many times you have watched Saving Private Ryan or Platoon. IT JUST DOSN'T TRANSLATE!!!!!

 

Well being from a different country doesn't translate either. You can never walk in their shoes or them, yours. Their point of view will always be different then yours. If your parents where born in another country they will never look at the United States the way you do. Some will love it more and appreciate it more then you ever will. If you marry someone outside the US that difference in upbringing will always be there just like if a super wealthy person marries a poor person. That wedge is always there, it's the bridgeless gap. Just ask Dianna. Now the reason I'm writing this is not to discourage you from marrying  a foreigner or visiting other countries it's just to give you a real perspective on the world as a whole.

 

When you watch the news and you say I don't understand what's wrong with that country or why would they let that happen?  You couldn't tell a purer truth. Your right, you don't understand nor will you ever. Just like they don't understand why we do the things we do. Do you know what the Kuwaitis said about Bush after we rescued them from Iraq. First of all they were very grateful which is normal but then they said That President Bush is Crazy. meaning that is was inconceivable that someone would take on Iraq. Now I know that might sound like a normal reaction but if the Brits were in trouble and we came and rescued them they would probable say what in the bloody hell took you so long, even after we explained the ocean between us thing.

 

There are just some things we are never meant to understand and that's good for a lot of reasons. It would be a lot easier for a one world order to take over if everybody had the same perspective on life. Me personally I'm American and I think for the foreseeable future I will stay that way besides it's not working out for Europe right now. I guess what this all boils down too in the end is the world is a very different and diverse place so the next time you say you don't under stand why Putin is taking over another country stop being a puppet to the orchestrated government controlled news and realize weather you agree with him or not, he's doing the exact same thing we would do if the United States split up. Oh wait it already did  . . . . it was called the civil war. Is the United States still split up? How did that happen? can we really judge someone that we really don't understand for doing the same exact thing we would do. Well according to the news and the President . . . I guess we can.

Can't Wait.

Well I was single I noticed that most of the time when men or women complained about the prospects that they had to choose from it was their own fault. It didn't matter if we were in a hole in the wall bar or at a wedding or at a country club. They always went for the same type of person time after time. The famous comedian Ron White says you can't fix stupid and in this case it applies to all of us unless you married one of the first five or six people that you dated. I'm not saying don't do what you want, this is America, who am I to question your choices. After all I did fight for your right to be self destructive in all your endeavors including relationships.

 

So if you want to be in perpetual change of relationship partners by all means continue. Never let it be said that I stood in the way of freedom or the choices there of. That's the greatest thing about our country you don't have to agree with me at all unless your unhappy with your current state of affairs then it may behoove you to consider the possibility that I may have a point with which if taken could better your outlook on love. So if you have grown tired of your position from which you have not triumphed over, maybe you will lend me your ear so I can help you take control of ones choices for the betterment of your situation.

 

Think about what you desire! Do you desire a mate that will be able to live with you then you should consider that you are hard to live with and there for require a mate of extreme patients. Do you desire drive in a mate then you must be prepared to put up with a mate that may want to control the reigns of your relationship so you might have to be submissive. Do you desire faithfulness then you must honestly believe in your heart that if you left for six months strait that your mate would wait tirelessly for your return and seek no other. If you can not trust them out of your sight you might have a problem, just saying.

 

 If your jealous make sure your mate will put up with your antics without faltering. These are just a small portion of things that I came up with and some will not apply to you but once you compile your thoughts into a list of what you really want in a life partner make sure it's realistic because the easiest was to be let down is to put a human on a pedestal. Then when you meet someone new don't waste your time in a relationship unless that person meets the most important of what you want on at least three accounts then on minor ones you may have to compromise besides it's good practice because when you get married you'll be doing a lot of this. compromising I mean. lol. I bet you can't wait. Oh and remember you won't be able to live up to their expectations if you don't love them.

Got CLEF

Maybe you don't believe in God but it doesn't matter for this article because it still applies to you. Soul and Humanity are pretty much interchangeable in this world. The more "bad things" you do in this world the less you care about everyone else's feelings. You lose your empathy. It's true for everything you've ever been told or just known that it is bad behavior. To steal from someone you have to justify it in your mind by saying well it's a big store they'll just write it off but several large chains have gone out of business in my lifetime. The more you steal the easier it becomes until you don't care who you steal from. You have totally justified taking someone else's possessions in your mind and eventually you don't even think about it. You lose a piece of your Soul.

 

Compassion, Love, Empathy, Forgiveness, are what make us human. Violence, Hate, greed, Unforgiveness those are the things that make us animals. IF we all had  C,L,E,F we wouldn't need laws and governments and we would actually live in utopia. As it is, never going to happen. But killing off your Humanity isn't going to help you either. Every large government in the world that has achieved riches has self destructed by getting rid of humanity. Mayans, Romans, Vikings, are we next? Just remember that when we lose are humanity then everyone is just about themselves and once that happens there's no society left. Just a bunch of cutthroats waiting for you to turn your back. No wonder they collapsed, who wants to live like that. If your human then hold your ground against the animals because the world is depending on you. Don't become like them, see them as they really are and feel sorry for them. IF you have CLEF it shouldn't be hard. IF you've already done a lot of bad things in your life, don't stop trying somewhere deep down inside of you is still a human that wants to get out of the cell of coldness you've built.

Go Get Your Own

Fishing . . . . . . . . What did you think about when you read the word. Did you get excited or maybe you thought what a bore. Some of you thought of relaxation and others thought of frustration. Some of you thought about hard work and some of you thought about taking a nap. Some of you thought about drinking and some thought about eating fish. Some of you thought gross and others thought about all the gear they had to get ready. The thing is, you thought about what was true for you and all of you are right. In reality it' all that and more. That's why we have so many different hobbies and every hobby has the same magic. It's a way to make new friends and make memories for all involved

 

No matter what you like to do, someone is thinking to themselves that you are crazy for wanting to do it. I know why I like to fish It's because of the scenery and relaxation and the never knowing what is going to happen. (If you don't believe me ask my friend Rob how a one day fishing trip can turn into the adventure of a lifetime.) I have had lots of great adventures on the water that I will carry for a lifetime. I also have spent hours in the heat, humidity, rain, wind, and waves, with little to show for it except when you spend time on a boat with someone, good or  bad, it's something you never forget. (Just ask my friend Mac about how our last fishing trip consisted of some hot nurses.) I bet you have times that you will never forget with your friends also. If not maybe it's time to go and do something you like to do. Oh and if your always busy don't forget to relax. Have a great Sunday.

 

I know that most of you wont know the people I'm referring to and will never be able to find out what happened but they're not my stories to tell. They are our stories that are only told when we are together. Hey I can't do everything for you. So go get your own.
