I would like to direct all my readers to my friend’s page. she is a good writer, although she begs to differ. she is working on a small story, but what you see on her page is just small clips that don’t necessarily have a home at this point. kind of like a puzzle, she is making pieces, and when she has enough pieces, she can assemble the puzzle. I just hate it when you are missing the final piece, and so the picture has one large hole in it. but with writing, although it may take a long while, the hole can be filled in. its just a matter of straining your brain beyond all force, and conjuring up the correct sequence of words.
her site is www.spirit5.wordpress.com Enjoy : D
ok, so today i will just copy from my binder, because I know I have ome good ideas contained in there, and right now, I feel kind of fresh out of ideas. so here goes.
hmm. cool. the first thing I have written here is a page with like a stream that has been diverted, and it kind of shows how the old branch now ceases to exist. here I am trying to explain that everytime we make a choice, we change the path we are on.
I also have it defined in my own terms here that a choice is an event in which the specimen has to make a decision.
A Decision as defined here by me is the outcome of two or more possible choices and the end result.
on the same page, I also have a smll picture of opportunity. It is a highway section, and there are two exits on to a different road. I see this as an example of opportunity because as the car has the ability to turn off the highway, it still doesn’t. that is kind of like a human being offered something, say an invitation to a party. but as the car did not turn, the person did not go. that was an opportunity wasted.
straying again, but in the movie Yes Man with Jim Carey, it is kind of like a No Opportunity Wasted kind of movie. In the Movie Jim’s Character is forced to say yes to new things even if he doesn’t want to do it. in watching this move, one can see how many opportunities we pass up because we feel like we just don’t want to do it. and ironically, I am listening to Rihanna’s Live Your Life song right now. My player is on Random, lol. but anyway, it fits since right now i am talking of no opportunity wasted, so as Rihanna says, Just Live Your Life!! No opportunity wasted.
Oh next page! On this page I have grven a kind of ruler, except this ruler does not measure length, it measures time. on this ruler I have put different ages, and milesones. like the average person graduates High School at the age of 18. but their life doesn’t really seem to take flight until about the age of 20. then I put in some fictitious mile stones, because really after 20, your life is what you make of it. so my fictitious milestones will never reflect anyone’s life, not even my own. but in my head it a little bit ideal. anyway, I have at the age of 21, moving out of the parent’s house. at 23 maybe meeting a girl. if this girl is right, possibly get married at 27. have a baby a year later, at 28. If you are a good worker, and have had the same job for eons, you might face a promotion at the age of 30. but don’t do anything you hate. it makes for a sour and bitter old person. by the time you are 33 your child will be 4-5 years old, and so she will start Kindergarten. here i ran out of room so I redrew it, but in a smaller scale and kept going. I skipped many small details here, and skipped right to 45. Early retirement. believe it or not, but by the time you are 48, your child that you had at the age of 28 is now, you guessed it, 20 years old. here I drew them a line of their own, and yours keeps going. when you are 55, your kid will be 27. 65 is late retirment, and then i have labeled 75 as really late retirement. and well, I didn’t label it because it is a variable, but after 75 is basically lifelong working. like in Japan, and the worst bosses in Canada.
but to think of how life can be so compressed like that, it is very odd. assuming your child had a similar life to yours, when your grand-daughter is 20, your daughter might be about 48, and that would make you 48+28, or 76 by the time your grandchild is 20. as kids may grow up so fast, don’t forget that you too are aging as they do. if I were to label ages as variables, it would probably be something like exactly what I did a second ago, but like you were 28 when you had a kid, and so that gap will never change. so it can be seen as like: Kid’s Age (X) + Your Age Upon Having Kid (this case 28) = your age. so say your kid is 2, you were 28. 2 + 28 = 30. when your kid is 20, 20 + 28 = 48.
ok enough fun!! page 3 – here I took some notes on how I go into the Time Travel Business. His name was John Titor. so heres the story. I was curious about time ever since I was very young. so one day not too long ago, a few months, maybe during summer ’09, I looked up Time Travel on Youtube I believe. and i saw some really cool videos, some of them were Nova, and others were user submitted. Apparently this one guy crawled through a wormhole under his sink and met his older self. they were like identical twins. and apparently he filmed him and him older on his cell phone to show to the world. as much as I don’t quite believe this, I am sure with little doubt that it is possible.
Anyway, I was on Youtube, saw some good vids, and I remember Albert Einstein with the Photon Experiment, and how time slows down the faster you go. and everything. Anyway, John Titor was mentioned a few times in these videos, and so I looked him up online. He was blogging in 2000, and 2001. He claimed to be a time travellor from the year 2036. The USA was having another civil war and upon obtaining a small, ancient device from our time, he and the US Gov would have the tools and technology needed to win the war. now I know that no one can prove he was a real time travellor, but he did talk a lot of the future, and how it was. He was the “expert” that first called branches in time world lines. personally, I dont think he was from our world line, but no one can be sure. He always spoke of how at this time this would happen, and at that time that would happen, and everything. but really, even his presence in our time, assuming he is not from here, would have an impact on our future, and so what he spoke of may be true, but really it is possible that it won’t all happen.
“We often meet our fate in the measures we take to prevent it” – Kung Fu Panda
and so in taking measures to be able to defend ourselves if a war did break out, we are also saying that we are ready for war, and if your gonna strike, just do it. all this fighting for peace bs, well if everyone just dropped their weapons, what do you think we would have? DUH! peace! of course not everyone will drop their weapons, mostly in fear that their enemies have a secret weapon as well. and some cultures it is their way of life to go and conquer other lands, and impose their thoughts and beliefs despite the locals’ rights, and different ways.
Like really, all the american fear of Alien invaders, is because that is human nature. Look at what we did to the Native American peoples, and the Australians. like really, the way the Europeans just stormed in, and took control. The Europeans can play the Alien part, and the Natives the Human part this time. The Natives defended their land as best they could, not wanting these Aliens to take what was rightfully theirs. well, as Humans will unite to defend their Planet, Earth, the natives did so to defend their land. and then the Europeans out of greed, took everything they had, and double crossed them. And then, they forced their “civilized” ways on the natives thinking that their ways were better than the natives. Do Americans think Aliens will really try to impose their ways on us like we did to the natives?
Hey, I know I am picking on the Americans a lot, but frankly Canada is the only country I have lived in, and so I don’t know the Influences of other Countries, but I see that almost everything Canada has, comes from either china or the USA. And well, All Alien Movies, Games, and merchandise appear to come from the USA. Any Movie you watch, the aliens land in USA. any game you play as a military icon, it is always the American Armies (although maybe not politically correct, but by armies I am also includuing the navy, all military personnel, and everything to do with fighting with a gun. whether it be sea, sky, air, and/or all other forms of US Military.) Most Games you play, are full of American Pride. and I have no problem with that, but what about Canada? on my car in a racing game, if I wanted to put a national flag on it, I usually see American Eagles, American Flags, and American Icons. But all I see for Canada, if at all, is one Flag. liek do Americans Hate Canada? or do they just not think about other people but themselves. Maybe they think Canadians love them so much. well News Flash, for all the wise people out there, The Americans buy our resources and sell it back to us at 5x the cost. Why do we let them do this to us? Are we really all that decieved? I know it is “good trade business” but who do you know that loves doing a $10 thousand job, and only let’s their boss pay them a minimum salary. its ridiculus! Any person in their right mind would want a fair cut of that $10 thousand dollars, and not just let it all go to their boss. well, when the Americans buy our resources and sell it back to us at higher prices, it is no different. would it not make more sense for Canada to take care of itself first, and then give the scraps to the rest of the world? By scraps I don’t mean junk, i mean the left overs. like Alberta with its mine fields could have lower prices for all of Canada in the fuel industry, but because we sell it to the USA, who like cheap laour from Mexico, we all lose out. Americans have lower gas prices than we do, and because the cheap Mexican Labour, The Americnas no longer have jobs to pay for even that.
I see this Economical failure as a resault of many factors, not just one. first and Foremost, unless gov’t prints more money, we are at a set value. Now I know they won’t print more money and hand it out, because that causes our Dollar Value to Plummit. as currency fails, precious metals rise, in value, and then replace what was currency. Now Only the rich people have money, and so the poor guy in order to make what he was before, due to the lack of prosperity, is forced to raise his prices. In doing so, he is limiting himself only to the rich people with money, and so all the poor people start to suffer. As this poor guy that raised his prices still stumbles to stay afloat in the rough waters, paying his rising rents, and taxes, he too starts to fail, and eventually goes broke. He even let go of a few employees to try and retain some money for these payments. As the rich continue to get richer, the poor continue to get poorer, until eventually the door collapses and their is now no point for return.
So the way I see it, since the gov’t wont print money as a bail out, and gives major corporations tax bailouts because they claim to not be able to pay it, I see it as instead the Americans should not be so greedy, and maybe the head executives could take a pay drop because they are already making more than they essentially need, and all the pee-ons on the floor that do the actual work, like dealing with the customers are barely making enough to survive. When it comes to economy, I see Balance beams that are all directly linked. when it comes to currency, and money flows, I see circles. kind of like wisps of wind, and the bigger the wisp, the more money there is there.
And for the average consumer, buying large things like a boat on credit is utterly pathetic! Especially when you are about to declare bankruptcy and still choose to not get rid of anything, which by the way, although painful, may be a better option than having a bill collector came and take it for you.
Don’t get me wrong, like I do understand that maybe buying a house is somethinn you would want to buy with credit (ie a mortgage); but is having a $32 million dollar house that is only really worth $600,000 really worth buying? like People have just gotten way too ridiculus and frankly it is just pathetic. Wake up, Sell your stupid boat, get what you can, stop spending so much, and get yourself out of debt. it is t he hole you just dug yourself. credit is not money you have, and so even if you did have a $50 thousand limit, don’t us it to buy a boat unless you expect that boat to make you money. Like you could go fishing, and then sell your catches, but seriously don’t rely on this as a main source of income, your little dingy is no match for a large super cruiser that catches 75x as much as you do.
and yes, maybe your $32 million house now has a value of $65 thousand, and so you still owe over 30 million even if you did sell it, but like really, where is the reality in that? You’d almost be better to set it ablaze and see how the insurance company will screw you over too. other than the fact than you may live there, and have a home there, and your stuff is in there, your house is virtually useless, and has no value to it. all your assets are worthless, and your equity is in the negatives. so aside from not putting yourself in this situation in the first place, all I can suggest to you is save every penny, sell all your extra stuff, even the couches if you can’t pay it all off, keep the house because it is better than a cardboard box. maybe sell it for what you can and get something cheaper, or invite your friends to live with you and all pay the mortgage together. “United We Stand Firm”. Yes as much as I dislike the Americans, I do think they have some pretty good philosophies. Don’t worry, as much as I dislike them, I am still not a terrorist. I won’t attack them, Ill just sit back , and laugh at their stupididty.
well, none of this was on page 3, haha, well except John titor. Odd how I can get from Time Travel, to econimical crisis. “Let the first be last and the last be first.” I think now I might understand this a little bit more. All the Me Me Me Americans are now in so much debt trying to make themselves first, now with the fall, they have fallen below the poor guy, who is now basically first. The rich guy owes over $500,000. the poor guy, maybe only owes $100, but at least he won’t have a financial collector take everything away from him.
wow, I am at 2769 words, and although this was a promise not to lag on, I think with the variety of t0pics in this one it was good enough.
at least here you can kind of see how my mind likes to wander and make odd connections. and I know I didn’t develop a lot of ideas as much as I wanted to, but my mind likes to move fast and so maybe next time I will ddevelop some ideas further. right now my head is starting to hurt. I don’t think I have ever typed for three hours almost straight.
