Another year gone by so fast...

I know it's cliche but, as you grow older relative time does seem to pass quicker than before. Over the past year I can't say I've accomplished a great deal, I've gotten more books and finished a few more. I have been writing though if anything comes of it I'll be quite shocked. The story of Saint Lucifer will continue in the future but, for now I'm taking a bit of a break and keeping some things strictly offline.

No Excuses for time lost blogging.

I will offer no excuse for not updating more frequently, I have other things to do and experience that as often as not become part of this blog. This is my discretion as both a writer and a gentleman. Committing indecency to written form for the sake of keeping a current posting is tawdry. I find that it is best that I post when I have something useful to say or to let those who bother to look know that the author is not yet dead.

I've given you reasons enough now take the next step.

Enter Lucifer unto the Earth

The new suit was quite horrid especially the childhood bit of it when the bloody thing is changing on a daily basis. The humans were as oblivious as ever that in their presence the celestial being was doing what humans find most contemptible, he was thinking for himself. The being first pursued the pagan "myths" and found much in the way of understanding how one is to be noble and even heroic in the classical sense instead of the modern irrationally ambitious jerk that will get people killed for a career advancement. Philosophy too fell into the hands of the Angel, though the society in which he was forced would have him play the actor's part of a devil. Politics he devoured and in Sociology he found the means of mapping the constructs of humanity. In himself, Lucifer began to doubt the possibility of correcting human errors in their world view. When it came to holy writ he was down rightly pessimistic about the endeavour

The Life and Legend of Saint Lucifer

Enter The Lord in splendor, To Lucifer's quarters in the celestial abode. The Lord speaks first. "Man is much confused about me, never has really gotten anything right from the start but, the buggers are adorable in moments. Still I'd like to clear things up with them before any sort of smiting goes on." Lucifer laughs to himself as this opinion is most true though the Angel views smiting them a bit over the top. Lucifer say to The Lord, "Why smite them? Seems rather pointless really they grow old soon enough and or manage to get themselves snuffed out before hand. To me it seems like a waste of time to bother with a plauge. Though I agree about clearing things up with the confused ones as they can wreck the lifes of those not befuddled." The Lord thought it bad manners that Lucifer would think that he could presume to say what was a good use of the Lord's time. However, the Lord being a patient sort continued on the subject. "I'd like to send one of you down there and do the clairification on these issues. Sending the boy down there was terrible, as bad or worse results than prophets. Not a one of them listened to him but, they're quite happy to call themselves his followers and selectively pay attention even to what came after. The second Saul Incident if you'll recall." Lucifer nodded. "We're still feeling the fall out of that one, Poor Peter up there at the gate has had a terrible time of it because of that misunderstanding." The Lord pondered a moment and then spoke, "I'd like you personally to go down there and fix it, human form will be a bit of an irritant but, it's a temporary thing really." Lucifer was reluctant to go as he remembered how badly thing had gone with Job and was still quite embarassed at himself for it. "Lord, I don't think I'm the best for this sort of thing, Gabriel is far better at it please send him after all I do tend to botch it with humans." The Lord's temper was now getting the better and the glow of splendor began to be tinged with the red of anger. "Listen here, Lucifer, I'm the boss around here so you'll do what I tell you and besides Gabriel is on his Vacation time. Now, you've questioned my judgement twice, I'll not have a third time of it you're going down there now and that's the end of it." The Lord then left the quarters and the Angel tried to get a hold of himself. Taking a human form was not going to be pleasant in the least, He'd done it before with Job and a few others but, a lifetime? Bloody business. Lucifer showed up the next morning and was properly suited up and sent down the chute to Earth and that is where the tale goes from here.

Preface to a Legend of the Saint.

Human life is full of misunderstandings, Take devilry for a first example. The whole nonsense started over a labour dispute. Any moral colourings are truly applied by a prejudiced forger. However, this is the only skill a Theologian really possesses, after all they cannot be proved or disproved thus in essence all writings by theologians of whatever good are ultimately fabrications of faith. Doubt has made some of the best of saints, take the case of Thomas, or myself, both chided for daring to question something that seemed quite absurd or even insane. Scientists have difficulty being recognised for their sainthood for the same reason. In a word, Faith. Faith without experience is rather baseless and a poor foundation but, this is not a widely liked truth. It dares to say that without the support of some evidence that it is impossible to simply take another's word for fact. On a personal note I absolutely find it disgraceful that "Critical Thinking" not only is a course in University but, that it has to be forced upon. One is unwise to step into any instruction without having an independent mind, thus it is an insult to the student and a sad statement of society that this class is a "Core Requirement". If one cannot do it on their own what difference would a bloody class be in the end on the subject? Simply lecturing on thinking for oneself and methodical doubt to one who is not accustomed to living in this manner is furthermore psychologically disturbing. The closed mind will remain such and the mind that is open to the new lives the skill as the lungs take in air. All this really accomplishes is the lining of pockets and frustration for the liners thereof. By the insinuation you have guessed I have said a rude word and that Charlatans often go highly respected and rewarded with impunity. Again, Monumental Misunderstandings.

Magickal Reality, Part 2.

Second Blessing by far better overall in application. Why? first off I'm not around this person in the immediate. Things with this one were more complicated but, that's really the only con of doing a positive act from a distance. You have to learn more subtle nuances of those whom are to gain benevolence. All else aside, I'd prefer to do this type only from now on.

The Magickal Reality

Today I did start a blessing ritual. The person blessed behaved like a total ingrate when the situation of the blessing was more important than staying in bed. I'd like to know what the hell one does to confront such jackass behaviour? I'm continuing the blessing as this person is more important to me than the momentary hoser act. It just pisses me off that you try to do something nice for someone and they completely throw it back in your face. Dear World, If you want anything good out of me remember that a gift demands a gift of equal value. Thus if I bless you don't spit in my face for it or that blessing will become your undoing.

Living Two Steps Ahead

Think a while on this, if you knew your own future years in advance, could you live with yourself for that knowledge? If you knew major life events before they happened how would that change your behaviour? Would you try to stop the event or speed it up? How would you feel about the inevitability of what you could not change? Dread or Hope, maybe something else? While there are a few situations in which no psychic ability is needed to feel this way, e.g. a dying loved one. It does come as a question of how that knowledge has effects on our choices; beliefs and feelings in life. Does it really make for better or worse to be living two steps ahead of the world as it is now?

Identifying Friend Spam and Online Supercreeps.

For the Spammers, logical inconsistency is the first flare of something being wrong with them. If the gender doesn't fit the picture or they claim not to know how to fill out a profile and are linking you to their profile on a dating site-here's your sign. Deny it immediately and if there's a method for it report the account as a spammer. Show no mercy to the plague of your inbox.

The Super creeps are people who want cybersex or some sort of relationship with you after five minutes on the Internet and know nothing about you. If you're in a relationship and tell them so they usually don't get the hint to bugger off and will continue until you ignore them long enough. These people are either parasites or police so don't get yourself into trouble with them. I don't want anyone who reads this to be showing up on a dateline NBC episode because they didn't pay attention to this. If you're on an online adult web cam site then feel free as far as your wallet and imagination can take you otherwise, it's a risk that's way beyond any reward or good that could come of it.

"It's Green..." -No thanks.

Perhaps it is due to over exposure to Celtic individuals and the cultural biases that they have individually possessed that turns me off from the celebration of that culture. I've run into similar behaviour among groups other than Celts that practise this sort of Chauvinism and it still turns me off in the same way. So, here's my bit to say. I'm not responsible for the actions of entire races or ethnic subcategories thereof, I'm only responsible for myself. I feel no "white guilt" because to be quite honest my family had nothing to do with slavery in the new world, I'm only the third generation born on these shores-sorry about that. Moreover, I have little concern when it comes to the indigenous population because of the Chauvinism they have displayed toward me personally. If these cultures were anything worth applauding they would have learned to appreciate the exotic by now. The only thing I really appreciate about these Chauvanistic cultures is that by displays of symbolism so overt I know to avoid the individual who is displaying them. So go on and put up that flag; wear that kilt, give me the finger when I walk by because I'm not exactly like you, why? It saves me the time of talking to another useless bigot.

What can I say more than this?

Hell knows if you've ever taken a correspondence course you can sympathize here. It's been nearly two months since my last lesson was sent by mail so I'm a bit upset with the delinquency of the educational establishment. Moreover, the tutor I have isn't much in the way of due diligence either. My advice to all of you doing distance education is to do it online with the most immediately processed results. Computers may not be able to debate questionable questions or be humane but, they're not prone to the human errors of disagreeable personalities; ego trips, job security issues, hangovers, sloppiness, and most importantly they get the job done in a timely manner. Dear teachers, our time as student's is valuable whether you would like to admit it or not we justify your existence not the other way around.

Stratification in my pocket

A device of elegant simplicity that I carry daily has a strange effect on those who encounter it for the first time. It tests their common sense. Some don't even know what it is; they're truly the bottom of the heap, Others stare at it and ask where the wick is while others will try to strike the flint without revealing the wick- above the adverage but, certainly not genius. In the last and by far smallest groups are those who figure out how it works on sight and the even more rare are those who know what it is and how it works a priori.

Yes kids, a trench lighter can be a tool of psychological warfare.

Not so Safeway

For those who don't know, Safeway stores have a security measure you'd rather not encounter personally. Plain clothes security staff that act as Blackwater Wannabes physically assault those they deem to be shoplifters. No matter how much the "suspect" tries to cooperate, they will tell the person that they are resisting-even if you're a M. Ghandi type. Police are no help to the person that these private goons have just savaged. As far as they are concerned you're guilty until proven innocent. So if you're a masochist, shoplift here and try to return the items. If you support Corporate Goons than keep shopping, you're paying their salaries with every dollar you spend. For those of us who are in niether category feel free to Boycott them.

1. Movie marathons can take up a lot of spare time, James Bond fans have an advantage here simply because there are so many titles that even an insomniac could not get through all of them in a single day.

2. Catch up on your printed reading materials, you remember what books were like.

3. Shag, it's a great antidepressant and you're pretty tired afterwards so feel free to sleep with and next to your significant other.

4. Pull out your Cd's and Tapes it's time for tunes!

5. Radio.

6. Go out on a date with your significant other, even if you've been married for years it still is quite nice to be able to get out of the house and be romantic to the best of your ability.

7. Show some extra attention to your pets, they'll appreciate it even when humans do not.

Bizzare Sociology of the Internet

Social structure and anonymity are two entirely incompatible things. What about secret orders and espionage rings?-even there one is not entirely sin nominae and there is plenty in the way of organized social structure. So it leaves the Internet open to the most chaotic of situations. On the one hand you have some privacy in that you can choose a user name and disguise your gender all you like but, the social order is lacking. If you own a website you are more or less the big fish of your little pond but, the wider ocean may never even know you exist. Moreover, as a user of the Internet the only real rise in status comes with the titles of Administrator or Moderator, two names for the same function. That function of course is to act as a Censor watching over a site you do not own to keep it free from illegal and terms of service violators in addition to what the owners request to be eliminated. The Administrator or Moderator is pretty much your second lieutenant in the digital trenches, if paid at all the remuneration is small and the work is quite hard. The user is the common foot soldier, they can act for or against the interests of the owners who stand as the captains and majors, (depending on site size.) . It's only when we get to the realm of celebrity and politicians that we see a deviation. There is little if any room for input by the user and no real requirement for moderation, it essentially functions on the power of vanity yet has little real impact beyond the target audience. Political Organization websites are mostly there to inform those digitally that there is a bricks and mortar party or group existing away from the monitor. If you agree with them you can join them, the same goes for religious websites of the more serious nature. (Fred Phelps does not fall into this category.) The not so serious websites of groups are not much in the way of bricks and mortar, they are there to act as propaganda in order to raise themselves to the level of bricks and mortar or to line the wallets of the propaganists.

Why I've been gone lately

I've been writing my philosophical outlook in a very archaic manner, namely by paper and pencil. The process has been more productive than most forms of writing I've undertaken as of late. Poems come out at random, the novel has not got a new chapter in well over a week and the small theoretical work I wrote received about as much attention as a commercial with poor scripting. Others outside of myself wonder why I think my artistic forays are shit? Because of the fact that there is much room for continual improvement and the empirical evidence that when I write in a serious manner without the illusion of art then it gets little to no response at all. So I write for my own pleasure and sanity, if anything of value is produced from it I think I will be the last informed of such.

The Holiday Agreement

We, viz. My girlfriend and I, have decided not to go out for any more holidays especially if they're on a weekend. Last night had some fun moments but, there was some truly wretched behaviour going on as well. At one point I turned to her and asked where we might find the zoo keeper, being that the people around us were acting like they belonged in such a place. Of note some dolts tried to make a Youtube video and subject me to it, first I covered my face several times when that didn't work I gave the two fingered salute which was mistaken for a peace sign. After that the young lady mussed my hair and I responded that she not do that again, it took remarkable restraint not to pummel her into the floor.

On the Limitations of Male Wisdom

If one believes in reincarnation, then I should know better, since we can't prove one way or the other I'll stick with this life and the anecdotal proofs that I have from it. I have lived for twenty six years and have just begun to learn how to please a cat. Woman is so far a complex and mercurial thing as to be baffling. I know not how to be of pleasant disposition beyond the polite nature I extend to anyone. What woman wants is more of a mystery than any theological speculations, though it's purpose has a more practical value. We men are simple creatures and let our wants be known quickly, this in our view saves time to allow for such things to be satisfied. Woman has shown that sentiment far outweighs reason and that if one does not instinctively or intuitively know exactly what their wants and desires are then we are of course completely the most rotten things on earth. I don't think this to be a just way of dealing with social interaction let alone the most intimate of such. Man is also forbidden by woman of using direct honesty, which is quite a shame considering that this is one skill that males ex cell in highly. Woman would prefer that we lie to preserve some sort of emotional equilibrium or to flatter them. I find such a concept beneath contempt. Therefore, due to my complete lack of understanding, not for want of trying, I declare myself an agnostic concerning any understanding of the feminine just as I am agnostic concerning abortion. It's beyond my scope of knowledge therefore until I receive some sort of grasp on the situation I prefer to remain outside of it entirely.

A Song of Poetic Essence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dte-u_lsmdc

What Ever Happened To?

I'm sure that some of us here have found ourselves in the position of being a living relic. I remember watching things happen that High School kids cannot understand the importance of its' passing into history. The Berlin Wall coming down; The Soviet Union, Destruction of Economy brought by Reagan and his tax cuts for the rich continued through to the reign of George the Second's tyranny. Music too makes me feel old, I find less skill in the production of it for mass consumption with each new decade-and sometimes every few years. Clothing styles are beyond me, I've never seen the point of wearing a ball cap with the brim facing anywhere beyond the forehead's limits as it is worn by players of that game. My E.C.I. was formed in the 1980's while that may be difficult to understand considering my age, these were years that I can remember being happy more often than not. The 1990's were just the opposite for me and most of this "New Millennium" has not been something I've cared for in the least. The thing I can thank the march of time for is an evermore decadent monotheism, it is becoming moribund. Will the pagans take their place? I don't think they have the strength or discipline in the majority to pull such a thing off well. Who can take their place? The discipline belongs with political parties and of religion I cannot yet determine.

Anti-Tease

I'm going to be brutally ranting here, if you don't want that then you can wait for the next posting or read other ones here.

I detest a tease, it's more than the frustration and petty ego inflation that occurs, it's the very ideology behind it that provokes nausea. With the puritanism inherently in place, repression as a norm, is quite beyond reason. Repression leads to not only an unfulfilled life but, can be a major cause of mental disturbances. So why do we glorify (culturally speaking) or even allow this nonsense to continue? Don't laud people with affection or flirtation if you have no real intent of acting on it, the Tease is essentially a dishonest person with themselves foremost and others through their actions. Should this dishonesty be allowed? -I don't think it should, in fact I'd like to see social repercussions for it. The most effective act that can be carried out by individuals against the Tease is to avoid them all together, failing this they should be shunned outright. Liars cannot be tolerated in any form. So, remember to have the honesty it takes to be an outstanding artist of your own life. Self-honesty and integrity are vital to the authentic life, don't allow yourself or anyone else to ruin it for you by compromising your ethics.

Amore Fati

Do you believe in fate or luck? I'm not going to indulge Calvinistic nonsense here. People will always have the freedom of choice in their lives or to put it more popularly "Free Will". How much freedom of this will is dependent upon the available choices and intentions of the individual. Now this may seem a bit odd but, a totally free will only exists in the realm of philosophical speculation. Reality limits the Will's freedom by the availability of options in any given situation, and these change with Marxist rapidity. Our world is truly a dialectical process of becoming and passing away without a truly definable end or goal. The only goals that can be defined are those we choose, there is no grand scheme or purpose to the universe. The meaning of life is what we give it. This is not a pessimistic or nihilistic statement. In fact it is a greater freedom than conventional assumptions would have it be taken as being. When we realise that we set the meaning and goals of our lives then we are free to make our lives a work of art and worthy to be loved. The loving of this fate, this lack of total freedom of the will shows that those of us who make for beautiful lives do so with well selected choices among limited options. I think it speaks to the greater skill of the artist or in this case the living individual that they are not omnipotent because it requires greater effort to make better choices and to live with the consequences for good or ill.

Opiate of the idiots

I hate the Superbowl. There I said it. It gives people an excuse to be drunken louts and generally encourages their own already highly developed stupidity. Without sports; celebrities and beer people would have to face a bit more reality so these things are dumped on the majority by the ruling classes as an opiate that works better than Medieval Religion. Yes kids, the people in power use this shit to distract you from the truth that you're being oppressed on a daily and hourly basis. It's time to wake up and smell the class system for what it is or you can spend the rest of your life on the capitalist dope while the self aware workers fight and in the end win, you'll probably be wondering if a revolution will mean an interruption in your sporting programs. It will not be a permanent interruption, but, the nature of the entire sport and its' importance will change as will the government and the nature of daily existence. But, fret not dear sport/celebrity deluded ones, sobriety is still very far from you and we'd rather your buzz kill you than to kill your buzz.

Do you feel loved?

I'm frustrated, fed-up and annoyed by the fact that men and women can't have an open dialogue as to what the f*ck we mean by love. People turn quasi-mystic on the subject but, I'm going to be as down to the earth as possible. I don't love my relatives, most of the time I'd rather they not exist simply for the lowering of the numbers of people who I view as *ssholes believing that I should be in any way obligated to them. I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment either. I don't claim to love anyone I've never met and have no ability to know their character. I can enjoy the works of the past but, that's where they are and I am in the now so, I can only appreciate them-I can't love that which was dead long before my birth. I don't love a country in the abstract, it leads to all sorts of masochistic notions that are senseless as they can be violent. Now that we've clarified that this is about personal love or more honestly from the male perspective amore-passion. For the male, it begins either from lust or respect, sometimes though rarely both. True fortune strikes when you're attracted to someone you respect. I've met a lot of pretty girls that haven't two brain cells firing at the same time in an hour. It gets worse from there, you can have looks in a potential mate and as soon as they open their mouth and sound escapes the man feels late for the exit door. Now to be fair there are problems with femme that command respect, fraternization policies/aesthetics/ or again the opinions that strike total revolt into the male causing the flight response. I've even met those who could have had both working for them if they could extend their logic a little farther and not turn themselves into the subject of a lampoon of hypocrasy/stupidity. The way I figure it, the survival of the species is either the most random of accidental chance or an ontological proof of miracles.

Think about it this way: Man enters a nightclub, of available random femmes you must eliminate from that pool those in a relationship; lesbians, the teasers, bigots, and morons. Now that you've gotten that far you're still dependent on the whims of what femmes are left in the room which can be the most arbitrary choices made on the slimmest of evidence. So is it any wonder why men become cynical and eventually stop caring about their lack of prospects? Yes, ladies there are times when Men lack all hope concerning sex or romance and give up on the idea entirely, this time can last for years or even to the end of life.

How to expunge leech relatives.

1. Let them know that they only have their own gain in mind to your detriment.
2. Ask them what they're what's in it for you to have your favour given to them.
3. Don't be innocent or forgiving of a rotter, blood or not if they're a rotter then treat them as such.
4. Disown their worthless arses.

These steps ensure that you're not wasting love on ingrates who never deserved it in the first place. Being a good judge of character, even if it means seeming vicious, keeps you from squandering the most valuable thing in your life: Time.

A Cursed Blessing or: Banks Contra Credit Unions

Banks are possibly, after the Stock Market, the worst place to put your money. The excesses of over daft fees and direct deposit advances will leave the customer perpetually in debt. Credit Unions also have over draft fees but, they will not practice the direct deposit advance. Let me explain this practice to those who don't know. An institution will allow its' customers to take out a pay day loan on their direct deposit with unique policies all to the institution's profit. When errors in accounting occur at a Bank it is always to their benefit, which precludes the possibility of it being a random event or the odds of it being to the benefit of the customer would be 50/50. Then on top of this the rate of interest earned at a Bank compared to a Credit Union is substantial. To earn the same interest at a Bank one has to put into a savings account ten to twenty times the deposits that one would need for the same amount to be earned by a Credit Union. Think about all of this before you sign on to any Bank or their "bait" i.e. bonus checks for opening an account with their company.

What does Freedom mean to you?

Many nationalist and internationalist political ideologues use the word Freedom. But, what is it? Is it the absence of oppression? Is it the creed of the libertine made into an ideal? I don't think either of these is a satisfactory explanation. I believe that Rights must be equally counterbalanced with Responsibilities. The most responsible in society would therefore have the most claim on it and hold the greatest stake in the success of it. The idea is not completely Meritocratic or Socialist. It is the fusion of the best of both. Those who contribute to the largest amount of quality and quantity of this quality in production or services provided should be proportionally rewarded for their efforts. This makes for a society that generates lasting wealth. Large quantities produced or delivered in poor quality at an artificially high price is the classic recipe of Capitalism and the ruin it wreaks should be apparent.

Renaissance

Who would not love a Renaissance? A rebirth of civilization, it is an idea that unites even the most divergent of philosophies. Where they part is what form this rebirth would take, being a bit more pragmatic I will not make a prophesy as to it. There are too many variables to account for that are impossible to predict at present in order for the dream to be made actual. What I can account for is the world as it is right now in history. Troubled in economics and politics, flawed but striving for a better or at least for more affluence. While I am not the most optimistic of persons neither am I a pessimist. I find the outlooks to be absurd and that to divide the persons of the world on such a shallow basis would be a gross underestimate. However, I think that the idea or ideal of a rebirth of society for the better is something as timeless as it is universal. The power of it to unite us in a goal-even if impossible-the more perfected and continually perfecting self and world is much more achievable if indeed we do unite. Therein is the issue, unity is required for any goal beyond the personal to achieve success.

Theological Vice

The well known theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity in many situations can become the most terrible of vice. Examples given below are situations that can be common or extreme however, at some point they all have happened and our dear theologians have yet to elaborate on the value of them in light of the results.

Faith: While the religious person may indeed have perfect faith in their deity, they must also exist within a society. Given this they are capable of having Faith in Deity and a National or Ideological set of principles or persons. Here is where it goes terribly wrong: Would a Hitler Youth deny being both a Christian and a National Socialist or that the two could possibly conflict?

Hope: The religious are still quite human and therefore capable of imperfection in a given moment thus the following: The faithful layperson who Prays to win the lottery or their favourite team to win in a sports competition?

Charity: When does charity become a negative? When it comes at the cost of self or at the price of the lives of others. This will require two examples: 1. A man of wealth on the verge of death donates all his possessions to the organization of his faith and pauperizes his children in the process. This is charity at the price of others. 2. Does the one without soul have a self that can be egotistic when the ego does not exist? Or less extreme, The target of indoctrination can easily loose any sense of self or its' worth prompting an excuse for any excess or violence in the name of the doctrine without any thought of self. This is the obliteration of self that altruism cannot justify, in terms of morality or legality.

Interest Curves

What I can inspire in terms of a person educating themselves, I am now acutely aware, is a very narrow curve. In the apex of this are those who need little influence but, given the little knowledge required will delve to depths in it and will be able to discuss with me their own views. These people are a treasure to me, further down and by far more common are those who find an interest in what my library offers simply because they have heard of a title and haven't the chance before to find it. For these I am the owner of esoteric knowledge, the occult of geopolitics; warfare, history, philosophy, etc. This is the man with all the books forbidden. These can bring me a slight smile. Worse yet, are the ones who only take interest in educating themselves in the endeavour to speak with someone they know to be far beyond their level. These are sycophants and second-hand learners whose only interest is the fact that I am interested. At them I wring my hands as I get little in the way of independent thought out of them. In the bottom of the pile are the willingly ignorant. Those who have their world view dictated to them and would not give up the Orthodoxy no matter how decadent and absurd it becomes. These ones are impenetrable in the density of their skulls however, the internal value is absolutely vacant.

Silly Seriousness

Remember when we were in high school and the majority of the kids were obsessing over their relationships and dance dates, well I never went to any of that. I graduated at seventeen and joined the military, no senior prom pictures here. I never had a high school sweet heart and in all honesty that's probably the reason I still have a life of my own. All the competitions to gain honours of some sort in school or the military always turned to a fizzle-why the heck did everyone get so worked up over it? Does any of that matter when you get into the real world? -Not a bit. Your first prize and trophies mean absolutely nothing when you can't get hired for a job. Colleges and Universities in America are a scam, no matter how reputable they are, they exist to rip you off. Point in fact, Arizona State University will cost seven times more than a Canadian University for a bachellor's degree. When I did the simple calculation at ASU the cost was nearly 75 thousand dollars, I'd rather have the house then the overpriced degree, thanks but, no thanks. What should bother us most is the fact that we've let the price of living our lives go out of control not the fact that we didn't make the Pricipal's List in the third grade. The Student Unions at Universities are Unions in name only. Have you seen your local University or College Students go on strike against tuition skyrocketing? Do you see picketlines by students over the fact that they can't get a job in the area they majored in for their degree? Have you noticed that when you went to pick up your fast food today you were more than likely being served by someone with a graduate degree? It's a sickening truth to add to the already bad cholesterol levels. For those of us trapped in the academic factories just remember to look at the life of "Big" Bill Haywood or Lucy Parsons and learn to fight back. Industrial Unions can teach the students something far more valuable than all their professors-you are the Working Class and you don't have to put up with a dangerous set of bosses. Talk to your friends and see what you can do about forming a strike the next time you get another tuition hike. If your school has post graduate hiring policies and they exist only on paper then picket the guidance councilor and the Dean until the problem is fixed on a contract or they'll never live up to their word. Remember the old saw about strength in numbers, that one is true. The other old saw, if you can't beat'em, join'em. Is utter bull feces, simple fact of the matter is that you can't join them at the best you can fight or you can be a lackey. My integrity is kicking in too high so I'll take the risk and keep the scabs out.

The Joy of Spam

I'm sure it's happened to you too, gender inappropriate or illegal activities spam. I'm sorry but, the idea of enlarging my penis three to six inches would make me a circus freak so that one is out completely. Breast implants, I don't plan on sex reassignment, I rather like being a guy. I'm not winning any lotteries because I don't gamble, I see it as a taxation on false hope. I know there is no real legal way to make thousands a day, I'm sure if you're a drug cartel leader you can do that but, I don't have the personality for that sort of employment. I have little in the way of jewelry and I'm not willing to part with any of it. Beyond this I don't like the idea of one night stands, not just the disease factor either, I'm a natural monogamist that enjoys having a serious relationship on the romantic level. I suppose this makes me some sort of oddity. What bothers me about the latest round of spam is that it purports to be from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While my opinion is neutral of the genuine organization, I still find it insulting that criminals would use the name of law enforcement groups to send their scams. It seems like a Darwin Award waiting to happen.

The How To Series Part One

How to keep the T.S.A. away. Warning These methods are not endorsed by Etiquette Books of any sort in fact, just the opposite.


1. If possible be embarrassing, if you're male an erection should suffice to keep them from strip searching you. If they ask, or for preemptive purposes, No Underwear.

2. Foot stench. If a case of athlete's foot is going to cause health problems e.g. you have diabetes. Then the night before line your shoe soles with Apple Cider Vinegar or Ammonia. No one likes to search your shoes or have you take them off if they smell like a dead animal.

3. Don't take care of the hygienic appeal. Let your hair get to the point of being greasy and no antiperspirant/ deodorant for a few days. If male, no shave for two days prior. If possible wear a wool suit on top of all this to intensify the effect.

The Credit Crusher.

Like most of my fellow countrymen and women, my credit rating sucks. I've been working on it this month with three bills mailed and the companies haven't cashed them. If I had paid nothing and let it slide my bills would be two thousand dollars, and that's just what is showing up on the report. Most of it is medical bills, if that is not incentive for Nationalizing Medical Care then I don't know what is proper enough for that kind of hard-headed voter. With that said, I should make it clear that I'd rather that even the hard-headed type show up to vote then practice parasitical apathy. Yes, I consider voter apathy an act of a parasite. When you don't vote in a democratic-republic then you are essentially letting those who do show up make the decisions for you. You surrender your voice and right to complaint if you sit on your bum on Election Day. How do the two issues relate? Consider the words Credit and Credibility. Credit in economics is more important than any personal factor when it comes to your finances. You can't get a place to live; a car, loans (other than the legally defined "predatory" kind), even the legalized robbery of a credit card. Credibility relates to this in that you keep to your obligations. Since the Economic Devastation of 2007 to present these two ideas are the things that Americans need more than ever. We need to be a more honest and responsible people if we're going to get anywhere other than another Great Depression and War to pull us out of it. It was not the Iraq and Afghanistan quagmires that started the problems we are now facing. It was Transnational Capitalism, and that is the cause of the quagmires as well. When anything important happens in the United States you should always ask: "Who's profiting from this?" Government does not run on love. Corporations are not loyal to anything more than the profit margin. And no, little Johnny America, unless you're from a wealthy family you're not going to grow up and become President. Now that a few delusions have been cast aside let's look at what we can do to fix the problem. The first is to pay off the bills that you can so that you can have a future with your money, The next thing to do is vote. Beyond this personal honesty even at the price of the emotions of others will eventually gain you respect. If the people you're around now want your relationship to be based on lies then they're not worth having around from the start.

Feeling Irrelavent?

For the past few days, in the attempt to do something productive I have experienced utter failure on the part of the others responsible for taking action. The exception being a Veterans Organization which has actually managed to cash a check. However, three bills mailed have remained unaccounted for as well as not being called on the phone by a "friend" I've had for two years. My relationship, what remains of it, is on a precipice. Getting no respect from your girlfriend's child is pretty normal, being screamed at over completely mindless nonsense when the 22 year old infant doesn't get its' way is beyond toleration. Of course I'm used to the fact that because I was born with testicles I am to be ignored completely when I speak. You live with women you learn that no matter what value you have in the world outside that your only worth in the home is measured in chocolate and your ability to listen to the most tawdry subjects while being ignored should you have an opinion of your own. After a day of near constant sexual teasing, that's all it wound up being, a tease. That was on Friday and I still haven't gotten laid, that should say something for my patience which is sorely underestimated.
