Got a Spare Minute
Hi all,
Hope your days are going well. Finishing packing so I can move this weekend. Now I have to find a truck, the one I was going to use is no longer available. Well, I have a spare minute so I wanted to post a couple of links.
The first link is to a breaking story about Google and the NSA, turns out I was dead on and that Google has a "Secret" Relationship with the NSA. Go back to my earlier posts and compare.
The second link is to an article about how the U.S. government is going to require internet providers to keep your records so that the government can look at them later if they wish. Now I have been talking about these things for years and someone even accused me of being a conspiracy theorist. LOL. It is a plan by a group of people and it is happening. What do you want to call it?
People really need to look at the world around us. The media is also now reporting on how the president wants to be able to have a kill switch for the internet. Now it makes the news, what a all time stupid joke. The government already has a kill switch and the ability to restart it, I reported on that with links to the articles months ago. If you recall I linked to an article that said the U.S. military had five keys in different parts of the world and that it took four of them to come to a US military base to restart the internet.
Nothing has changed, the question is why is the main stream media now discussing these things. The purpose dear friends is simple, it is testing the waters. The first articles were read by a few who then did like me and started discussing it. They monitor and gauge peoples reactions and they blast the same information wide and far.
If you want to see the truth you have to refuse to lie, to yourself or others. You have to look beyond the cookies and the treats that you want. Your real treat has to be the truth. It is usually disturbing and people's first reaction is to hide from it. Overcome that feeling and look at what is happening. These mass animal deaths and earthquakes are real, they are not normal. The governments monitoring of you and me is also real, I grew up with it so I really don't care.
There are big things going on and ignoring them or becoming belligerent, or worse yet, violent is not going to fix one thing. Some of the things that are coming will blow people's minds because they have ignored so much for so long. Waking up from their little closed worlds is going to be a real head shaker. The world is far weirder than they can even comprehend, so they will ignore it and suffer the consequences.
Hey what do you think of the fact that Bill Gates wants to track every birth in the world? Why does this barely get a conversation in the media, it is mentioned and that is the end of the story.
I want to explain something and I might have said it before. I hated waking up. I discovered that the economy was going to implode about five years ago, time does fly. I began telling a few close friends about it (some read this blog). But before telling people I sat in shock for two days, I couldn't believe we had intentionally tanked our economy. It seemed insane. In fact the ex told me that she thought I had lost my once formidable intellectual abilities, I hoped she was right. Problem was, she was wrong and I was right.
There have been more than a few times when I have told people what was going to happen and received the response that these changes cannot occur because they had built their lives around that particular cookie. Doesn't matter. Just think what it was like for the Romans to be invaded, they couldn't comprehend it. Complete societies have changed against their will and ours in not immune, we just don't like to think about it. Be well, back to work.

My Back Hurts
Still packing and still moving stuff. My back hurts like heck (no cussing on the blog and no names). LOL. I did however find this article. The inevitable elimination of the U.S. Post Office. Who sends mail, only packages and the government doesn't need to be involved.
The question you should be asking is what are the consequences. Let me explain, your U.S. Postal Mail is protected from it being read by the law. When the post office and printed books are gone the young won't notice and the only won't understand. Anyone who wants true freedom will save a printing press and find a way to transport mail without using private companies. Be well all, I have furniture to move.

Jack LaLanne and the rigorous life
It is with some sorrow that I report that Jack LaLanne has died at 96. My back hurts a lot and I was getting ready for bed; but, I found a reason to post.
When I was a child Mr. LaLanne was on television. He was like the first fitness guru. He called out to women, women with children to exercise. It is hard to explain to anyone under 40 what he did. He made exercise fun.
I was a gymnast, I may be old now' but, I was in good shape. I am about ten in a world record. You would not know it by meeting me. Most people when they meet me think I am just a thinker and businessman, I was a kid too. I am very mechanical and was very physical. Oh, and I also wrote music, wrote stories and drew pictures. Jack LaLanne helped me to see that we could all be healthy, we could all exercise.
More than anything else, Mr. LaLanne showed me that if you put in the effort everyday, then someday you would excel at being the best you could be. I am not a big fitness person in the sense of visuals, I am very big on people who choose to be healthy within reason. My doctor told me I am not allowed to exercise because of my blood pressure. They also asked that I come in more often, they lost on both accounts. I will never be what I was physically; but, I was and kids need to know they can be.
For the gymnasts out there, there is nothing greater than doing your first floor kip, high bar kip and giant. For those who are not gymnasts, think of whatever sport you loved. In my gymnastics class I was the first to do the hard splits and to do a giant, it takes time to achieve both. Mr. LaLanne inspired me. I was not the greatest gymnast, I lack some balance; but, I did what I could do, that is what he taught me about the physical body. I always enjoyed watching him and hearing him be so inspirational. He will be missed; but, the son of a gun made a difference and how many can say that?

Packing Day
Packing up my stuff. Not moving today, just packing and that is enough to do. If I get a chance I will post something later. What do you think about the article on the two suns? Everything is normal, take a nap.

Two Suns
Well, just one more thing that doesn't belong and doesn't make sense. They are now saying that we may have two suns in the sky.

Virtual Stupdity
There is an author out there who is claiming that reality is broken and we can find more happiness if we retreat into the game world where we can mold the world to our liking.
The purpose of life is not happiness, you can do that with drugs. It is no better if your drug is a video game. How do we advance as people or a society if we all hide from the real world and real people? This type of thinking is worse than "The Matrix", at least in that film people were forced into the virtual world. We now have people actively promoting us creating that virtual world and willing entering.

Makes Perfect Sense
The City of Berkley, in cash strapped California has decided to add a new employee benefit, free sex change operations. Now it is bad enough that the City is underfunded for it's pension and benefits; but, you will now end up laying off some employees in order to pay for other employees to have sex change operations, what about breast implants? I mean do you have to completely change, what if a woman wants bigger breast, I'll bet that isn't covered.

Bye Bye To My Stuff
Well it took two tries; but, the rest of my stuff that is not coming with me just left for Nevada. I wonder if I will see it again. I didn't even bother looking through it, I can only take with me what I can take. If it all burns down I won't care.
Time to move on; but, it keeps getting delayed. Oh well, these things happen. Disassembling a life is more severe; but, quicker than creating one. It will soon be time for me to lock the doors and shut off the lights as I will be the last one out the door.
If you look around at the world you see too many people grasping to keep what they had of a failed system. For the past two decades everybody wanted to be the boss, everybody felt entitled to that which they did not earn. Easy money and rewards for corruption, that is going to be some hard drugs to get off of. Never had it so I don't even care. I prefer a simple apartment and honest earnings.

We had an impromptu party at my house last night. We sort of celebrated the move to Burbank. Everybody is tired. Night night.

I am being naughty, I am writing on the boards and I actually have something to say. I usually dedicate more time to my blog than other people's forums but today I am doing the opposite.

Some Beings Just Don't Get It
The hardest thing to truly explain is the purpose of this blog. I try on occasion; but, I fail. I will try again. The next posts will be on individual concepts and or words. Lets have fun.
Today's thought is Possibilities. It is about what we are possible of. Don't pre-judge. We are capable of so much more than we do. We are amazing in our possibilities and so often we trade our morals, abilities, decency, truth, sexuality, humanity, gratitude, shame, honor and other things for trinkets, bobbles, toys. When we don't trade; but, instead push ourselves to our limits then we are a very dangerous opponent.
I am going to give links to human possibilities. Then I ask a very simple question, are you even attempting to reach possibilities. If you are; but, only because of the rewards you get half a star. If you are because you want to know who you are and what you are capable of then you get a free trip. Not too many people ever get the trip. Still, some do, that means we are capable of as much for cookies as we can with none except proving what we are capable of. We are human and we can kick some major rear.
Have you tried this.
How bout this.
Now this needs to be read all the way to the end.
We exert too little effort to do the right thing, to be what we can be. We chase cookies and risk the game. Patience is a virtue for a reason. Virtue only occurs when we accept the challenge to be more, to be what we can be. I am not talking about a lottery mentality, I am not talking about risk for reward. I am talking about risk where there is no reward except the knowledge that you have proven yourself to you.
I don't care if the game is rigged, if we give it our all then we have already won. This is true if we are not playing for a cookie; but, instead because we want to see what we are capable of. Guess what, we are capable of some crazy stuff. God made us right to be us. It says that the Devil accuses us day and night, do think he accuses us of sin because he is sinless? I don't think so. He accuses us because we don't explore our potential. I believe we have more potential than any other beings ever created, we are the stuff.
There is or is not a God. If there is a God I believe he said we will reign over angels. The bible says that Satan accuses us day and night, it also says that he was the most beautiful of angels, it also says that he is retarded (he offered Jesus the world, so he didn't know him when he met him). I have asked before what he accuses us of. He accuses us of being less than we can be. Consider Job, he said Job only loved God because he prospered and then God allowed Satan to take everything away from Job and make his life unpleasant. Job still loved God.
Now for the Christians I must give a dig. Loving God with all you heart does NOT match the commandment of Jesus. He said to love God with all you heart and you neighbor as yourself. Half will not get you there, half is a cowards death. Do you really wish to meet God and tell him that you love him with all your heart but that you did not forgive others or accept them. That is the weakest of all faiths. Failure to sin is still sin if you do not love others as you love yourself and if you love in such a way then you forgive.
Life is not about accepting results, it is about forgiving attempts that fail. Humanity is not an epic fail, it is an epic success because of all we have attempted.

My New Apartment
One of my readers and his family have a small apartment building in Burbank, six units. I am moving into one of the one bedroom units. I went there today after work to get keys, look at the size again and determine what I would bring.
The person with the keys wasn't going to be there for a couple of hours so I walked down the street and investigated the stores and restaurants in the area. Everybody I spoke to told me how much they liked the town. Everyone I met was friendly and sort of low key, relaxed.
After getting the keys I drove home, 70 miles away. As I made the drive I actually felt light. I felt as if a weight were being removed from my body. I haven't felt that way since I was 12 and even then it was for but a moment. My life has been one of service to others and I am glad for that; but, too many just took and them came back for seconds and some of them had no gratitude. Don't get me wrong, the ones that were grateful more than made up for it. The funny thing is which ones were grateful and which weren't.
Anyways, as I drove home I felt light and I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, I could see a better life. I am going from a 2700 sq ft home to a one bedroom apartment, I have lost all my money and barely keep any that I make and I am just thrilled. I felt free and I liked that feeling.
I am not a big fan of possessions. I never cared much for money as I have seen it do more harm than good to people who chase it and those who get it. I have never seen money make someone a better person. This is not to say that I have not met good people who used money in good ways; they were already decent people when they got the money and they could handle it. They are easy to spot, they would give up all their money and not be bothered.
So far every experience I have had in Burbank has been a positive one. I forgot something funny that happened. There is a building a couple of blocks from my apartment, when I saw it today I laughed. I dated a woman about two years ago and I dropped her off at the building. I didn't know where I was when I dropped her off, it was the only time I had been there.
I think things are going to get better. I think that is called hope. I always sort of felt that life just sort of sucked. My life experience has not been very positive. I cannot say I have been a pleasure seeker. I have accomplished all I set out to and that feels good. I made more money than I ever wanted, fortunately the ex managed to spend it so I was not bothered by it.
Entering this new stage of life I am actually a little excited. I feel anticipation rather than dread, that is a change. I want to take inventory of myself. I am in good health (regardless of what the doctors think, I feel great), I still have pretty good analytical abilities (nice to know the ex knows she was wrong, everything I said came true), I have some great friends and family who love me dearly and I kept my morals, I lived my life, my way.
Few years back I thought I was going to die and I was good with that. I remember sitting and thinking that I had done what I had set out to do. Now I have a new job. Now I will set out to do something new. What a target rich environment. I sense a new purpose is on the horizon.
Perhaps I will assist the City of Burbank, I can cut their costs by millions with little effort. I know my industry very well. This could be fun, I may have a new chew toy. Hmmmmm. I actually paused for about ten minutes here, my little mind at work, nothing good ever comes of that.
Hmmmmm. I should look at their budget, calculate how much I can save them and then show them how. In case your wondering, I don't want any money from them. Got enough to get by. But, this may give me something fun to do and very civic minded. Doing what I love for the place I live in, now that would be unique. See, this move is going to do me good. THIS COULD BE FUN.
Interruptions. Be well.

Strange Days
I am sitting in my room listening to the sound of most of my stuff being packed inside a moving van. My cousin definitely had my back, he has done a great job at taking care of everything including me. Me he told to just do whatever in my room so I played poker.
Anyways, my dog and I like a fairly quiet environment. I am very much not into drama. We seem to like one or two quiet people around us and gentle play. Commotion, as occurs in a move, during my down time is not enjoyable. My cousin knows this about me and has been kind enough to keep me as removed as possible from it.
My thoughts are scattered. There was something I wanted to write. Oh yeah.
Any regular reader knows that I read lots of news sources. I pick up trends, things that I see in both alternate and mainstream news. One trend that I think we have all seen is the talk about 2012 (I don't think the world is gonna end). Another trend I have seen is the increase in talk about a coming "awakening". Supposedly in the near future we will all awaken to our true nature and have a greater understanding of the spiritual. Another trend is the argument by quantum physicists that there must be parallel universes for the physical universe to exist.
I have posted enough links in the past on quantum physics. If one wishes merely search for Stephen Hawkins. Then read the wikipedia article on him. Nuff said.
I was on "Above Top Secret" and had a reason to bring up quantum physics and religion in response to another persons post. It got me thinking. The physicists are saying that alternate universes exist. Isn't that what the bible says? I mean aren't heaven and hell alternate universes? They never bother saying what these universes are like, so, can't they be heaven and hell?
Now lets play with this chew toy for a bit. What if the coming "awakening" was to the fact that there is indeed a spirit realm. Hmmm. What if people could interact with spirits in this world, what effect would that have on people. Some, like the Chinese, would be fine with it (interacting with their ancestors). Some would say that it proves the eastern mystery religions and the occult. Christians and Jews would not like it because they are told to not interact with spirits. Muslims would not like it either, their evil spirits are called Jinn (like Genie) and are malevolent.
There was a movie, it was a cable movie, I think it was based on something that H.P. Lovecraft wrote. The movie takes place in the 30s or 40s and witchcraft is real. In the story a private detective is trying to solve a crime and everybody uses witchcraft and talks to demons. It makes the case a little harder to solve. People in the movie start using the magic in order to get what they want. I think he had it right.
If you could talk to spirits and get the winning lotto numbers, would you? I think most people would. I am pretty sure that my readers know that I would not. The movie was "Cast a Deadly Spell", I had to look it up. I have provided a link to the movies trailer.
My cousin has just informed me that the packing is done for the night and that they gave him the wrong size trailer for my car. I own a 1956 Nash Metropolitan. I was working on the car as a ground up restoration when my father got sick and have not worked on it since. He is taking it to store it for me till I am ready to do whatever with it. I had the engine rebuilt and balanced, the transmission rebuilt and the body was completely redone to original (even the original paint).
Back to what we were talking about. I have to point out that I have had more interruptions than I can count, including one that stopped in the middle of this sentence. What if the last trick the Devil did was to prove that he was real? What if he told you he was the Anti-Christ. With so many people hating God how many would be good with that? And then he let you use demons to gain what you desire, I bet some people would like that.
I like to play with "Revelations" because I cannot understand most of the imagery and I don't trust other people's interpretations. Instead, I take the parts we can understand and try to look at them in different ways. Imagine, like the movie "Legion" that Satan came to town and told you that "Revelations" was correct and that God was about to kick everybody's butt that wasn't a "true Christian". What would people do who didn't believe in Christ do?
The set up is perfect. Way too many "christians" tell people that they cannot be saved unless they know the name Jesus and who he is. On top of that are the people who really don't like God because life is not easy. Hey, the bible does not say that we will not know the anti-christ when he comes. It says he will perform miracles. What if everybody knew it was of Satan? That would be a good reason for the prophesied persecution of Christians.
By the way, to know Christ is not about knowing his name. People who lived before Christ were saved and went to heaven. That is what the bible says. To know Christ is simple, it is to know what he taught and then live by it. Love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. When asked he said, if you love me, you will do my will. His will was that we be in service to one another. Pretty simple stuff and we do fail often; but, we succeed too.
Please remember I am very distracted. My dog just completely flaked out, he is exhausted from barking at noises all day. He is not a bad doggie, he was abused, that is why he likes my calm way. He has a friend who just wants to relax and be nice to each other. He loves that, maybe more than he loves me; but, I don't think so. It is why he loves me and he loves me more. He went from a place of frantic and painful activity to a place of peace and quiet. He appreciates the change. He appreciates that someone cares.
That makes me think of something. The bible says that Satan is the ruler of this world, so what should we expect from this world, club Med? The "end times" are the end times for Satan's rule over this earth. That is what the bible says. People ask why God lets bad things happen, I think the answer is so that you can understand your choices. You got to know Satan before you can know God in order to make an informed decision.
Anyways, my dog and I like a fairly quiet environment. I am very much not into drama. We seem to like one or two quiet people around us and gentle play. Commotion, as occurs in a move, during my down time is not enjoyable. My cousin knows this about me and has been kind enough to keep me as removed as possible from it.
My thoughts are scattered. There was something I wanted to write. Oh yeah.
Any regular reader knows that I read lots of news sources. I pick up trends, things that I see in both alternate and mainstream news. One trend that I think we have all seen is the talk about 2012 (I don't think the world is gonna end). Another trend I have seen is the increase in talk about a coming "awakening". Supposedly in the near future we will all awaken to our true nature and have a greater understanding of the spiritual. Another trend is the argument by quantum physicists that there must be parallel universes for the physical universe to exist.
I have posted enough links in the past on quantum physics. If one wishes merely search for Stephen Hawkins. Then read the wikipedia article on him. Nuff said.
I was on "Above Top Secret" and had a reason to bring up quantum physics and religion in response to another persons post. It got me thinking. The physicists are saying that alternate universes exist. Isn't that what the bible says? I mean aren't heaven and hell alternate universes? They never bother saying what these universes are like, so, can't they be heaven and hell?
Now lets play with this chew toy for a bit. What if the coming "awakening" was to the fact that there is indeed a spirit realm. Hmmm. What if people could interact with spirits in this world, what effect would that have on people. Some, like the Chinese, would be fine with it (interacting with their ancestors). Some would say that it proves the eastern mystery religions and the occult. Christians and Jews would not like it because they are told to not interact with spirits. Muslims would not like it either, their evil spirits are called Jinn (like Genie) and are malevolent.

Kismet
As I said before, I am in the process of moving. Part of the process was to get electricity and gas turned on in my new apartment. A couple of days ago I posted a request on line to turn on the utilities. I promptly received a call from a very nice lady who works at the utility company (Burbank Water and Power). She informed me that I needed to fax over a copy of the lease agreement. I told her I would and today I saw my new landlord and old friend who filled out the form and gave it to me.
When I got home I needed to find a place to fax it from. I found a Postal Store and had them fax it to the number. It took a couple of tries and eventually went through. As I left the store my phone began to ring, it was the lady from the utility company. She was following up to see when she would get the fax which I was holding in my other hand. I told her that I had just sent it as it came out of her fax. We both laughed.
I told the lady that I thought she had given A class service. I was impressed that she had followed up as she had told me I had till Thursday night. We had a nice laugh and I told her that I thought it was a good indication that I would like my new home, she said she was going to go out and buy a lottery ticket. I hope she does and that she wins.
Some things are meant to be. My move is meant to be. Everything just came together and I have the people and things I need to do this. It became so simple when it looked so daunting. God has certainly blessed me with all the right help that I need and Burbank is looking pretty darn good. I am meant to go home.
To long time readers they may remember posts that I made about my home, my Los Angeles. While I like the whole city, my favorite part is the San Fernando Valley, my home. Home is where the heart is and I have been away too long. I love the desert and am comfortable here; but, home will always be the San Fernando Valley. It just fits me.
I remember as a child driving from West Los Angeles into the valley at night, it was the most beautiful thing in the world. The San Fernando Valley is where World War II vets moved after the war. They came from all over the United States because they wanted something different. They had been raised in small towns, mostly rural, had killed in battle, seen Europe and wanted better. They moved to Los Angeles and created the suburbs.
Life is the valley was nice in the 60s, it was a unique place at a unique time. Young people from all over came to be hippies and musicians. They used to stand by the side of the road and sell flowers that they had picked or candles that they had made by hand.
The weather is wonderful, they have written songs about it. The mountains are simply wonderful. The attitude is generally pretty friendly. There is plenty to do and the valley is still about families. I was asked what I thought about my apartment and I said it was fine. To tell the truth anything would be fine in the valley. I never really thought about the apartment, I thought about where it was. It was home.
It has been a tough few years and I feel like the race is almost over. It is important to never let one's guard down until a task is completed. My life changes for the better in a few weeks. It changes for the better, there was a time when I thought that would never happen. Now it is about to happen.
Some things are just meant to be. Some people are destined for each other and some people are destined to come apart from each other. I am always where I am meant to be when I am there and so are you. We may or may not like it at the time; but, we are where we are meant to be and surrounded by the people we are meant to be around.

Community Redevelopment Agencies
I have been saying for the past two years that I believe Community Redevelopment Agencies will disappear. A article on CRAs going bye bye.

Patience with me
I kindly ask my readers to not be surprised if I miss a day or two during the next three weeks. I have to move all of my belongs to two different places at the same time, make all the arrangements to move into my new place and meet with the mortgage processor to give up the rights to my house. I have a lot on my plate.
Moving Forward
We all face difficulties in our lives. The difficulties challenge us only when we fear failure. Failure is impossible. No matter what happens you cannot fail until you are dead and then it doesn't matter.
We always have a chance for things to improve. Today a man killed his wife and child. After he through himself from a height and died upon impact. Whatever was behind his actions, he was as wrong as he could be with his response. People do the same thing in little ways, they stop trying and give up.
Success is the overcoming of difficulties and carrying on in a proper manner. That is success of the soul. Winning is not success, that comes and goes. At least that is my thought on the matter today.

Can't Sleep
I have to move what I am keeping to my new apartment in a week. I will have to turn on utilities, get a truck, pack and head out. What an odd feeling it is. For the past three years my life has been on hold. Now it looks as if that is all finally over.
I am not sure what to say. I am not sure what I feel. I am not sure what I think. I am plain not sure. The last decade was sort of harsh on me. I did well in my career but too many deaths and too much deceit by others. Sometimes I am shocked that I am still around at all.
I look at the world and laugh. Most things going on I had told the ex about waaayyyy in advance and she knows it. My kids know it. I even have a good read on what will occur next. Sorry, been playing poker which would explain the "good read" comment.
As I look at the coming year I ask myself what I want. I haven't asked that question much in my life. I am asking it now. I want peace. I want quiet. I want to be with with a woman who loves me for who I am and knows who I am. I want to be with a woman who I understand and love fully.
I don't want money, fame or garbage. I really am not that materialistic. Cookies are for children, not for adults except in extreme moderation. Cookies should be treats and not training tools.
What is the most you can do with your life? Right now, what is the most you can give. I am not talking about money, though ask yourself that too. What is the most good you can do for others at this exact moment? Have you even gotten close to giving it all with no return in sight?
My poker friend, he took in a homeless person that he didn't know. He did too, something we have in common and it was the same person. What can you do today that screams faith? I am not asking anyone to do anything, I am certainly not asking everyone to take in random homeless people; but, what can you do?
Can you do anything? Can you forgive someone who is dead? That isn't much to ask. Can you give a dollar to feed someone even if you think they are going to buy booze? Is there any good in you? None of us are good but we all have some good in us.
I will request the following. If you have had any enjoyment from my blog, do something nice for someone who doesn't deserve it this week. Anything. There is a caveat, you have to do it for someone who cannot possibly pay you back and you can't tell anyone else. You may not think you can benefit in any way from what you did.
I had a vision once, it was of hell or at least my fear and understanding of it. It was eternal solitary confinement. Every chance we get to help, to make things better is a chance to avoid my vision of hell.
This is a very strange post, all over the place. LMAO. So what. Have a great day and week, I think I can go to bed now.

What not to do
I had a nice night last night. A friend and I just played poker on line. There were a lot of people at the house having a get together downstairs. Nice night, had a nice long sleep and woke to read the news.
First I got a text from my friend. He is in a live tournament and made the final table. I texted him to kiss rump. Then I read about the shooting in Tucson. I watched the kids video, he talked about currencies and mind control. No.
On this blog I talk about currency and the reality of how we are managed. These things are true; but, violence is wrong. Be good slaves Jesus told us. I agree. This life is a temporary learning place. Violence is the last thing we should learn.
Have faith, love one another, help one another, be kind, be gentle and refuse to be violent. You are not entitled to a playstation and the world does not owe you. It is better to live in the woods on your own than to live violently.
In poker there is a saying about steaming or being on tilt. It is when someone loses on a bad beat, a hand they should have won and played well, to a much lesser hand. After a bad beat some players lose control of their game. They play wildly, that is being on tilt. The same thing can happen in life. You take a bad beat and you go on tilt. Learning not to is the key.

An article. It talks about how everyone will have an individual internet id.
If you read my posts
You already know you are being lied to about the animal deaths. Think for yourself.

More lying experts
No links and not much conversation. Birds by the thousands are now dying all over the world. Same for fish. Watch any report on this and everybody knows we are being lied to. Avian flu, really. I mean come on. Fireworks, another great explanation.
Here is the key to knowing that you are being lied to. Everyone of the broadcasts starts by saying how this is not unusual. Every broadcast starts with why this doesn't need to concern us. That is how you know they are lying.
If they cared about the truth on any level they would say that this deserves some further investigation. The minute you hear in the media that something is not worth reporting it means they had to report it and don't want to. This is odd, go back to sleep and ignore this event. That is the lie.

POKER, POKER, POKER
Hi. I like playing poker and I love winning. I was playing poker and not thinking about my post tonight. But, you might want to investigate the bird deaths in Sweden. There were also some in Kentucky. Hmmmm.
Why do they keep telling us this is normal when we all know it is not? What is causing it? Think back to where they said it was hail or fireworks, if you bought that in Arkansas, will you will continue to buy that?
If my ex assistant bought that then I would have to beat him with a bat, not a baseball bat, with an actual bat. One is an anomaly. Two is a coincidence. Three is a pattern. That is basic logic. We have four or five of these in two days. That my friends is a pattern. Oh yeah, and 100 tons of fish died in Brazil for no apparent reason.
Lets look at what we know. Birds are being killed over large areas by blunt force trauma to the chest while in flight. The fact that it is over large areas is tough. Fish are dying by species over large areas at the same time. What could kill both fish and birds? I don't have an answer other than God. And I don't think it was him, I just don't have an answer and the ones I heard are garbage.
I will give it my best shot. Microwaves. Someone said that the birds had died from blunt force trauma to the chest and had blood clots. Microwaves is my best guess and I know the government uses them. On a lighter note, there was film of a missile being launched from the Texas gulf, very similar to the one that was launched off of California a few months back.
I don't know all the answers but I do know garbage when I hear it. AND if anyone guesses avian flu then you are no longer allowed to read this blog. Avian flu will not kill all the birds at the EXACT same time.
Be well. Just so everybody knows, I am blessed with friends and am securely set to move. I cannot express my gratitude enough to my friends. I may have lost all my money, I may have been cheated on, heck I may have lost everything I worked for on a bad beat; but, you know what. I am so incredibly blessed in my friendships and my family. I am gonna be okay and in a pretty good spot for an old fart.
I may discuss on occasion my personal situation; but, I always say, and it is true, that nobody needs to worry about me. I am so covered that it is pitiful. I lived my life in service to others. Not everyone appreciated it; but, when I was down, a whole lot of people stepped up and saved my worthless rump. I am still up and very grateful and have a lot of hope. Hopefully, someday you can read about the best thing that is ever going to happen to me and know it. Be well.
One last thing. A reader stopped me today, he has stopped me before. He told me how much he looks forward to my crazy posts. I personally thank him, that is why I bother. Because somebody reads the darn thing.

A Hypothetical About The People in Charge
First a quick update. Those birds that died, well, they died from trauma to the chest. That would indicate that whatever hit them came from below them and covered a couple of miles.
Now to my hypothetical. In the last year or so I have been reading articles about things that in and of themselves seem unrelated; but, what if they are related. In Norway they have the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. A very large and expensive enterprise which is heavily guarded. We also have a mad rush worldwide to build bomb shelters. The Russians are building over 5,000, we don't know how many the Chinese are building and yes, the United States government is still building massive underground shelters.
I think I wrote about the giant city at sea that is being built for the wealthy. Now lets look at the weather, crazy stuff. We are being told there is coming global warming; but, it looks more like global freezing. The consequence is that we are going to green energy. What if the gulf spill, the mining explosions, the natural gas explosions were created in order for us to be willing to pay ten times the cost for green energy. If so, why the rush?
Green energy or renewable energy, what is it's advantage. I would say it is two-fold. Firstly, in order to use it you must be plugged into the electrical grid directly for easy tracking. In addition being plugged into the grid means that you can individually be denied access. The second "benefit" is that they don't need an industry to keep the power system up.
What could this all mean? Well, what if certain people know that there is something bad coming? Can we add to this the sudden discoveries of new animal species and categorizing of all animals worldwide. There seems to be a rush on to save something.
UPDATE: This literally just came in as I was writing this post. Hundreds of birds were found in Louisiana. This is interesting, different bird species.
Back to what I was talking about. If you wish to indulge me in my hypothetical conspiracy theory lets try this. If we put all these pieces together, oh yeah and throw in the FEMA camps. This starts to look more like preparations for a earth catastrophe of a natural order. A asteroid or polar shift or whatever, something natural. What about a solar flair of maximum intensity.
Now here is where it gets fun. Everything science truly knows about the universe is 25 years more advanced than what the average person is aware of. What if science had discovered that every 20 million years the sun sets off an enormous solar flair. One big enough to overheat the existing life forms.
If this were the truth (and no I don't think it is) then maybe you would come up with global warming as an excuse if you expect a rise in temperatures from solar flairs. You would do that if you didn't know that the solar cycle stops just before a big eruption. Did you know that there is a giant circle forming on the sun? There is and they say that they don't know what it means.
Just in case you think I believe this, let me reiterate, I am a Christian. I don't believe the world ends because of solar flairs. This is just a hypothetical.
If you were in charge of the government and knew that this solar flair was coming, what would you do? Wouldn't you try and save as many as possible? Wouldn't you rush to build renewable energy and save the seeds and categorize our world. I would try and save every book possible and every radio and television broadcast. Hey my first degree was in History.
How would you select who you saved? Would you pick the dumbest? Would you pick mediocre? You would pick the best and brightest, wouldn't you? What would you save and how would you pick? If you would pick the best and brightest, and you were not, would you go along with the criteria?
Good night all. Be well. I hope you enjoy thinking about how you would make the decision.

Bad Christianity
I read this article about a group of Christians who believe the end is near. I regret to say, once again, that neither the "believers" who are mentioned nor the writer have any idea what the bible says.
The Book of Revelations does not say there is ever an end of time. It says that the Great Tribulation will come, God will stop the Battle of Armageddon and that Jesus will reign on earth for a thousand years and then this earth will pass away, NOT TIME AND NOT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
There are so many things wrong with this that it is like shooting fish in a barrel (not a reference to the last post). People are so bad at even attempting to read the bible. I know too many people who attempt to say that Nero was the antichrist spoken of in Revelations. They attempt to say that the author was talking about the Roman empire that he was living under (it is an Atheist belief). NO, Nero did not have everyone take a mark and clearly the author of Revelations would have known this.
Back to the article. You have way too many Christians who believe that those who are not in the rapture are not saved. NOT WHAT IT SAYS. It does say many believers will be persecuted and cry out to God to put an end to Satan's reign on earth. Now, if these martyrs are in heaven with God, guess what, they didn't go up in the rapture but were still saved.
I am snowed in and cranky; but really fancy math will not provide answers to the Book of Revelations and why bother. End times fascinations just tick me off. My comment to Christians is always the same. Focus on your faith, love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Don't focus on mistakes.
For the sake of discussion I will say IF we were in the End Times I would expect Christians to continue living life in the same way. Helping others, being in service to others and attempting to do the right thing for the right reason.
Quick background for non-Christians. Revelations does talk about the "Rapture". The rapture is a time when believers will be taken away to heaven. It does not say that all believers will avoid the tribulation. It does say that many will be martyred. This has been interpreted by some to say that the one's left behind are unsaved and this is simply wrong.
Revelations states that the great tribulation (bad times) will last seven years. What is the purpose of the tribulation if all believers have been removed? Just to torture those who aren't saved? That would make no sense. God did not create us just to find amusement in our pain and that is not what it says. It says that he created us to have relationship with him and each other. The purpose of the great tribulation is to show that we must treat each other with love or we will only have hell on earth.
I read so many sites and see so much hate. Alex Jones is a good example. He claims to be a Christian and promotes buying guns. I don't think so. If you are a believer and if you believe these are "End Times" then you should be convinced that violence is wrong. I did not read anywhere in the bible that in the "End Times" the Christians would rise up and kill the bad people or take over the governments of the world, it just doesn't say that.
For people who don't believe in the bible this discussion may be completely unnecessary. I think it should be. To those concerned about "The End Times" I would ask why. Perhaps rather than waiting to be saved from bad times we should focus on the here and now and what we can do.
Yesterday a car bomb was ignited in Egypt in front of a Coptic church. The Coptics are a group of Egyptian Christians who have been persecuted for 2000 years for being Christian. Still, they hold on to their beliefs. This bomb killed 21 and injured 79. Perhaps helping one another is more important than waiting for rapture.

Somethings Wrong
In case you haven't heard something very wrong is happening in Arkansas. Firstly, thousand of birds suddenly died at the same time and dropped to the ground. Then we had thousands of fish, all the same species, die and wash up on shore. Here is a link to an article about it.
Scientists, and we know how trustworthy they are, are saying it can't be a pollutant so it must be a natural thing. I don't think so. It is now being reported that the birds in Arkansas appear to have experienced blunt trauma to their organs. Huh? Were they beat to death in the sky? Some have attempted to blame the birds death on lightening. Wouldn't the birds be singed?
I guarantee you that somebody is going to say that this was the result of HAARP. I don't buy that either. I do not have an answer for what killed them but watch out for the scientific lies. So what the heck is going on in Arkansas?

A New Day, A New Year, Same Old Garbage
I was supposed to go to a meeting today. Two things stopped me, snow and another death in the family. I woke up to a phone call telling me my sister in law died. To be specific, my brothers wife's sister. I met her three times. I have to tell my daughter about it. My daughter thought the world of her.
I hope your day starts better than mine. Be well.

An Admission
My posts have been weak. I have started playing poker again. A guy that played for a living has been visiting and we have been playing. Two different styles and we both know it.
I like poker. I never play for more than I can afford to lose. Small tournaments. I am in the money most of the time that I play. Once I played for months on the same 30 dollars. I have also won tournaments. Not the millions on television, hundreds or thousands.
I used to play 2 or 3 tournaments a day online. I haven't really played steady in two years. In order to play well, you need to practice and I haven't. I am practicing again. It doesn't even matter if I don't win for six months. It is about practicing against different players. Learning styles again and getting the calculations to be automatic in your head. The first large tournament I played in people were asking my daughter if I was a professional. It was at Binion's (The home of the World Series of Poker). In Vegas I had dealers telling me I should turn pro.
None of this is bragging as my game is not where it was because I haven't been playing. It would take me a good six months to get back to where I was. This guy that was a pro wants us to tutor people on line in our respective styles. Not my gig, but a nice complement for someone who hasn't been playing.
Why do I love poker. I play Texas No Limit, the greatest game the world has invented, even better than 45s (an Irish game). I only play tournaments (that means you will lose more than your original investment and it can be $50 to make thousands. I like those odds.
I pretty much stopped playing two years ago. Nothing online. I played maybe 10 live tournaments, placed in the money all but two and came in on top or second for half of them. Something like that and then I stopped all together except with family and friends. With an extra four hours a day and being near the card casinos I may get serious and begin playing again. I may even bring along my friend that played professionally.
I don't know what my readers may think of this; but, I put it out there. I am no crazy gambler. I play with what I can afford after taking care of all my bills. Not a crazy player by any stretch. I play old school. It is not about money, it is about playing well with good players. It is about the game.
Texas No Limit tournaments are the best because you get paid or you do not. Every hand can take you out and there is no coming back. All or nothing baby. I have a meeting tomorrow so I must go to bed; but, I wanted readers to know why my posts were short. I will improve as the news is going to get a lot my interesting and quickly. 2011 is gonna be very weird and very bad. We shall talk about things as they transpire. In the meantime I am going to play more poker. Be well.

It is snowing
As my readers know I live in the high desert. Today it snowed. I watched a young boy experience snow for the first time. Do you remember your first time in the snow? I wonder how many of my readers have never been in the snow.
Nahhhh, I don't really care. Just wanted to get out a post.
