Mesmerizing Video

...directed by the French motion graphics studio H5. It features a day in the life of a woman working in the London's Square Mile solely through infographics; this includes labelled close-ups of everyday objects, product lifecycles, schematic diagrams, charts, and is generally illustrated in a simple isometric visual style. "Someone Else's Radio Mix" is used for the audio track, instead of the original release.

Yule

Merry Christmas! Prepare for a new kickass year! This one was interesting, full of LOTs of growth opportunities and self realizations. I am ready to apply what I learned this year to the next one. It is going to be amazing. Here we go!

Go Within

night

I am tired now...half snorey and fighting sleep, as usual. Out again, this time for who knows how long...Drool on my chin and beard. The holiday is so hard to be so much things. We do. in the placeswe ar in///////////////////////////a
Ok I am awake now and I hope that you get something from that. I did. Goodnight. Peace be to you all!

Automatic writing?

I have always been a skeptic of things like automatic writing...until it happened to me. I was fighting sleep leaning over the foot of our bed while my wife was under the covers. I wanted to write down my goals in life. Things for me to do in the next year. You know, lose weight, stop smoking etc. Well I fell asleep with the pen in my hand and when I woke up, this was written/scribbled on the paper in the same fashion.

There is a time for
this to be
and a time
not so
you best
be ready
for the end
and the
beginning
of something
grand.

Hard day

Working in a customer service/call center environment in not a job that I expected to be easy. I went into it knowing that I would be dealing with unhappy customers most of the time. No problem! I've been an unhappy customer myself and know what it feels like. I have to say that I sometimes deal with the most ridiculous, bitchy, grumpy, rude and whiney people. Yes the charges are valid! You made long distance calls to Canada! Take responsibility for it! No I am not going to send you a free phone because you broke yours! I will give you assistance when you tell me what you need and not a moment before...I know that you are on the go, but I've got nothing...you are talking with a mouthful of peanut butter or something! Hang on! I am not your bitch! I will help you, but you have to help me help you! I am sorry that you did not return your phone to us and we charged you a restocking fee! Take accountability for your actions! Start nice, because you can always GET UGLY! That said, why would you want to get ugly anyway? What is the point? You are only making yourself look like an idiot. If you are dealing with a huge multi-national corporation, just bend over and take it...you signed a contract, remember! You should not have done it!
You can imagine that my work day was rather interesting! I had a woman tell me that she has a PHD. She said this in a feeble attempt to belittle me after telling me to get my "fucking manager". How professional. "I hope these calls are recorded!", she said. Oh, they are...you know what we do? We listen to them and laugh and gasp at the foul language and stupid "smart" ass remarks and think to ourselves "What a fucking idiot!". Be sweet!

Why Work?

I have always been a positive, easy going and tolerant person, but I get really bent out of shape when I hear someone say "I really don't need this job...". I want to literally slap them up side the head. Don't work. Good grief! You've got the schedule I want and you don't even take the job seriously because you "really don't need this job"! OK. I know that I can quit my job, (Hell, I think that everyone should quit their job all at once!) but I have reservations about living in a cardboard box with my wife and no health insurance. I want to be comfortable and I do not feel that I should suffer or struggle. I am even willing to live simple. I do not want to live paycheck to paycheck. Of course, you don't have to work! I don't have to either. I just don't want to live off of others, and since my hunting skills are not really honed, I would probably starve to death. One less "useless eater", right? If anyone you know says that they don't have to work, do me a favor. Find the nearest heavy blunt object and beat them down! They are rubbing it in our faces and I for one am sick of it! Peace-out.

Good person

What makes a good person? Does it require you to give of yourself? Should you sacrifice in order to be good? Does it even matter? If you don't, does that make you a good person? Someone asks and you say no. Is that Good? Is it good to refuse others of your help? How about if you take from others. You beg. You steal. Is this good?

All of these people suck. The giver, the non-giver, the beggar and the thief.

The giver is self righteous, the non-giver is cold and heartless, the beggar is dependant and the thief is a crook.

What if you give to those who need it and don't give to those that don't need it and beg from those that can afford it and steal from those who hoard it? Are you a good person then?



God, this is tough. What if you just do what you want to do?

The Letter "W"

Here goes...

I freakin' hate the letter "W". It's a big hog in the alphabet. Say the alphabet with me...all the letters are 1 syllable except for...D-O-U-B-L-E-Y-O-U! Three! count them: 1, 2, 3 syllables! It's not even a double "U" anyway, it's more like a double "V", but that's another topic. I hate that it is sometimes called "Dubya". I hate that it is the letter to differentiate between the two Bush's. I hate that it is used for the web with it's doubleyou-doubleyou-doubleyou-dot crap. When I was in school, they even threw a "W" in as a freakin' vowel (Yeah I know!)...only SOMETIMES! WHEN!?? When is a "W" ever a vowel in the English language. Irish Gaelic maybe, but not English! "Y" is more of a vowel than "W"! Plus, the sound of the "W" sneaks into...guess what! Another letter: "Q" with it's KW sound. What a HOG of a letter!

I get the sense that the letter "W" is somehow significant and somehow tied in with our manipulation. You know, the language is a perfect way to control people's thoughts, because your thoughts are formed through the language that you think. So...What does the "W" mean? Hmmm...

O.K. I have to apologize to my sister Wendy for this, because her name starts with a "W". Also my friend Jen whose last name starts with a "W". Sorry! :-)

Full Circle

All my life, I have been on a search for understanding. Resonating in my young skull is a brief mention of unveiling the mysteries of the universe. My parents saw a UFO when I was little-biddy. I cant remember at the moment if I was a fetus or not. An early church go-er, I was indoctrinated into the most holy baptist church. My fondest memory is the time I was running on the asphalt parking area and I slipped in my stupid dress shoes and fell, injuring my left hand and impregnating a small rock under the skin of my palm. Questioning everything, I went on a search for truth, which led me to search for god which led to exploring spirituality which led to anarchy which led to conspiracy theories Which led to God which led to church which led to spirituality which led to anarchy which led to conspiracy theories which led to God...do you see a pattern here?
