Time to Blog!

July 30, 2006

I have downloaded a great deal of fascinating material to read. If I never download anything else, I won't be lacking information to ponder. I will begin fasting August 01. I need to loose a layer of fat that has accumulated around my waist, and on my hips. It isn't anything gross, but I am not accustomed to having this sort of thing growing on me, and it makes me uncomfortable. I will also beging a regimen of exercise. I know what I have to do, but lack the will to accomplish it. I think I know why, but it isn't helping me shake off the old habits. I did manage to get outside a couple times this month and train. I liked it. I am shocked at how badly my balance has degenerated! If left unchecked, I fear I will never regain the skill I had just a few short years ago. Time marches on despite my unwillingness to recognize it. In order to correct this mistake, I will dedicate my energies and concentrate on one goal. This goal will be a total rejuvenation of my Mind, my Body, and my Spirit. I am the Master. A warrior conquers. A coward complains.

These are just a few examples of documentation you can uncover if you look for them.

The following letter writen to President Bush on July 20, 2006 is worth looking at.
Secretary-General's briefing to the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East

This is also interesting.
Who Is Osama Bin Laden?

These are disturbing.
Letter From Zarqawi
Pakistan Behind 911 Attack

I have been doing a great deal of research this past week on Islam. There is so much more going on with Islam than meets the western eye. The most glaring revelation is the hatred between the Sunni and the Shiite sects. Peace in the Middle East isn't going to happen. The Muslim world will not rest till one of these factions annihilates the other. The schism that ocurred at the death of the Prophet Muhammad sheds light on the present violent situation in Iraq. All one needs to do is the research. The inforamtion is here on the Internet for all to ponder.

The more I learn, the more I realize I am powerless to stop the world's desire to destroy itself. The only thing I can do is try to make my corner a little more peaceful. I have a responsibility to create this peace for the ignorant unable to understand their true purpose. My efforts have been woeful and dismal.

Looks like Scotty will be going where few men have gone before. His ashes will be blasted into space and orbit the Earth for a few years before they fall back into the atmosphere and disintegrate. He died last July at the age of 85. He lived a full life. I envy that.

I have never been a fan of Reality TV. I think it is low class entertainment. I never watched Survivor, or the other numerous shows that have come and gone. I do like Hell's Kitchen. I think it incredibly sad that the winner from the first Survivor show flushed his life down the toilet. I read he also ripped of charities. What a scum bag. Looks like he got what he deserves.

Hatch has been sent to a federal prison in Oklahoma as he serves a 51-month sentence for failing to pay taxes on the $1 million he won on the debut season of "Survivor." Hatch, 45, of Newport, R.I., arrived last week at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City.

Jenny needs a new water pump. At first I thought the engine block might be cracked. Water was leaking out of her like a sive. A maintenance man who does work for my landlords looked at it, and told me he was 99% sure it was the water pump. I took her in to a shop a few blocks from the apartment. It was a place well recomended for quality and honesty. I guese I doged a bullet on this one, but this is like playing Russian roulette. Old Jenny has 220,000 miles on her. It isn't going to be too much longer and she is going to cast off her mortal coil.

I have one Internet iron in the fire. I had $75 invested in this HYIP. I got $115 back, so I am out of the woods as far as out of pocket monies go. I have $277 riding. If all goes according to plan, by year's end I will have $1490 in it. From there it is only a matter of one-two months and I will have $3000 working ... at 40% a month return that is a monthly income of $1200. I can by a nice vehicle and pay down my credit card debt. That is all I want. I don't long for luxury. I will take it if it falls into my lap (lottery) but other than that, I will be content with being out of debt and having a reliable vehicle to drive. I don't think that is too much to hope for.

I had a score on the blackjack machine yesterday, so the car expense is covered. The bar tender had a temper tantrum because I won some money. Patrons in the bar watching the transaction also experienced emotional distress at my good fortune. What do you expect from drunken white trash? I am going to take my money and run. The machine is a rip off. That is gambling for you. No matter how much you win, you always end up giving it back, and some. I am walking away a winner for a change. I have no inclination to lose this money. I have no intention to get into a row with idiots. Let them cry in their beers and flush their lives down the toilet. I am a winner, and they know it. That is why they are filled with self hatred. Frankly, I don't care. I have no desire to watch these types of people sit and rot in their own filth. This is universal justice.

Was reading that India is blocking certain Blogs. The majority of these Blogs are pro-Hindu. I wasn't aware that the tentions were that high in India between the Hindu and non-Hindu worshiping people. I can't follow everything that is happening in this world. I can't deal with this hate. I suppose I have to, but it is killing me spiritually. Is this all that the human race has to offer this Universe? Read The Black List. This is definetly worth looking at; if it stays accessible.

Kenyan vigilantes have killed six teenagers suspected of crimes including rape and robbery near Nakuru, north-west of Kenya's capital, Nairobi. Police said villagers rounded up the youths, who were playing cards, beat them and then set their bodies on fire.

"They were ambushed, then killed and their bodies doused with petrol," Rift Valley provincial police commander Everette Wasike told AFP news agency. A mother watched as her son writhed in flames before dying, a paper reported.

Now that is how you handle punks! Reminds me of the justice carried out in a suburb of Chicago a number of years ago. A worthless piece of filth had been on a rape rampage in California for his entire life. He would do the sentence handed down by the legal courts, and when he got out, he'd rape again till he got caught. This went on for over 25 years. He got out of prison again, and decided that he might have better luck outside of California. He moved to the Chicago area. First woman he tried to rape was his last. The neighbors hunted his sorry pathetic ass down, and beat him with baseball bats. He was pulverized to the point that he could not be identified without the use of dental records. The DA did not press charges against anyone. When I read about stories like this one from Kenya, it does my heart good.

Was outside in the 100 degree heat wearing my black sweat pants and black sweat shirt Sunday. I made a good effort. I have a long way to go. Was out there today too. It is still 100 degrees. I am so stiff I can hardly move. I never should have let myself deteriorate this far. I have a lot of driving to do in the next 3-4 days. Have to pay the bills.

Time To Blog is two years old. I can't say my life is better. I look back and see nothing but a series of one broken dream after the other. I see only a long line of faces contorted with hate. The time to embrace a new reality has come. This opportunity can not pass me by. Energy is power. I am the Master. The shadow of fear can no longer darken my vision. The shadow of limitation is a phantom. I have work to do.

This scumbag needs to join the rest of the vermin that adorns the Time To Blog wall of shame. Note the article. The 14 year old child raped and killed is referred to as "an Iraqi woman." No mention is given that one of the members of the family killed was a five year old girl. That softens the blow, doesn't it? Sure, it is horrible. But this is the how the press is presenting the war news from Iraq; one bull shit story after another. I am sory for all the people in this world that are suffering, but I have to focus on myself right now. My health is slipping for what ever reason. I have to focus on slowing this physical deterioration down, and repairing my broken spirit.

A recently discharged Army private appeared in federal court Monday on charges that he raped and murdered an Iraqi woman after rounding up and killing three members of her family as part of a planned assault in the central Iraqi town of Mahmoudiya.

Steven D. Green, 21, was arrested Friday in Marion, N.C., after a four-day nationwide manhunt. Army investigators recently were told by soldiers in Iraq that Green, accompanied by three other soldiers, had committed the rape and slayings in March while another stayed at their guard post to monitor the radio.

I don't even want to turn on the TV anymore. I turned it on yesterday. Nothing good to see. Israel is foaming at the mouth consumed with revenge. When you believe that you are a chosen people, you can justify slaughtering those whom you call your enemy. Read the Bible. God told them to kill anyone who got in their way. They are doing the Lord's work in Lebanon. And it doesn't hurt Bush to have the world looking the other way for a change. It makes me wonder what the nuclear arms race is all about in the Middle East. Iran knows the Jews have missiles pointed at Tehran. They want to level the playing field. The President of Iran is a loose cannon. That is not in question. But there are other factors at play here. The West wants to paint Iran as a rouge dog. Making comments that Israel should be blown off the face of the Earth doesn't help curb that image. But comments like that are a double edged sword. Iran is telling Israel, "you fire your missiles, we will fire ours." It is a lesson they learned from the USA. Remember Mutual Assured Destruction? (MAD). No one knows for sure how far along Iran is to fulfilling that promise. No power on Earth will stop them from completeing their mission, unless Israel gets the green light to annihilate them.

The Middle East was a powder keg ready to explode in the 1970's. I think things are more volatile today. Iraq is a nightmare. Iraq was to be a shining example of Democracy in action. It failed. Or was that the plan?

Zinedine Zidane has broken his silence on his World Cup final shame and insisted he had no regrets over his astonishing attack on Italy defender Marco Materazzi. After three days of intense speculation about what it was Materazzi had said to provoke the French superstar, Zidane finally revealed his side of the story in an interview with French broadcaster Canal Plus. And while he apologised to the world for the headbutt on the Inter Milan player, he refused to back down, saying Materazzi repeatedly had insulted his mother and sister.

"I can't say I have any regrets about what I did because that would be like admitting that he had every reason to say what he said," Zidane said. "I can't, repeat can't, say that. He had no reason to say what he said. It's always the reaction that is sanctioned and not the provoker. I tell myself that if things happened this way, it's because somewhere up there it was decided that way. And I don't regret anything that happened, I accept it."

Add this to the caregory "the shit is getting deep." The spin doctors are having a difficult time coming up with a story that will justify Zidane's heatbutt during the final World Cup match. The first story said that Materazzi called Zidane, "a dirty little terrorist." All civilized peoples of the Earth are against terrorism. It must follow that anyone who gets called one is justified in physically assaulting the name caller. Oh, that didn't fly? Let's try this. Materazzi insulted Zidane's mother and sister. Let's see. What do you think the insult was? "Your mother and sister are whores? They smell bad? They are ugly?" That about covers the possibilities. Surely, remarks such as these deserve swift retribution. Maybe in real life, but when you are on the world stage, you have to suck it up. When you step onto that stage, you are no longer a common man prone to fits of rage and revenge. You are a role model whether you like it or not. You have to take the higher ground. Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass. I am no longer into hero worship. I enjoy watching France squirm trying to regain it's dignity. I got news for you frogs. "it isn't going to happen."

A man who thought he could outrun police because of his video game skills has learned his fate.

Tyrone McMillan will spend seven years behind bars for second-degree assault and first-degree attempted assault. He received two seven-year sentences, but they will be served concurrently. He slammed into two vehicles during a high speed chase. One of the crashes involved a police cruiser.
McMillan pleaded guilty to the charges in March.
McMillan later told police he thought he could outrun them because he played the PlayStation video game "Grand Theft Auto."

Stories like this one have a definite purpose. It makes the rest of us think, "hey I'm not that bad off! Look at this idiot. Compared to him, I'm a genius." Sad, isn't it? I am feeling better today. I can see what needs to be done, and it is possible. All things are possible if you work hard enough. I am out of the surf for cash business. I am finnished with get rich quick schemes (HYIP's in particular). I still have one HYIP working, and if it pans out, I WILL make same great money. In fact, I could make enough to pay off my credit card debt and fund my FOREX business. That is what I want to do. Work the financial markets. That is the future. That is the business a private investor can exploit and create a decent standard of living. The skills and knowledge you can acquire are vast. These skills will carry you a lifetime. The other side of the coin is training. This has a greater value. It isn't just something you do to acquire monetary wealth. This is the Foundation that makes everything else possible. Without a foundation, I have nothing. I have my powerball tickets, just in case.

I read that this actor from As The World Turns killed himself last week. One clean gunshot to the head. He was 55. He had a career. He had wealth and fame. He had friends. And he snuffed himself. I don't have any of these things, and I am sitting here trying to formulate a strategy that will keep me going through the misery. I have to look at it this way. Some of this suffering is self-inflicted. Maybe most of it is. Time To Blog will be two years old July 16. It has been fun. The best is yet to come. Do I want it bad enough, or am I willing to cash my chips in?

Was reading some old entries from two years ago. It has been that long since I first noted that my lungs were shot to hell, and I was experiencing a loss of balance. Damn, time flies! I don't have to freeze myself to death. The way things are going I'll be dead soon enough. I still can not complain. I am still in fantastic shape for an old guy. Was at the health food store buying some protein powder and struck up a conversation with a woman in line. She thought I looked good. I am still attractive to a segment of the female population. All I have to do is hunker down and get my act together. Easier said than done. It is possible to get my stanima back and get my body into fighting shape. It is all a matter of finding out what I can do and can't do. I know I can't do everything, but I have to focus on those things I can do. Beside, I have made it this far. I have to stick around and see what happens in 2012.

This woman I met on the Internet has suddenly stopped communicating with me. We were working the surfs, trying to watch each other's back. She never did make any profit, but that wasn't her fault. These autosurf for cash programs have turned out to be nothing more than glorified pyramid schemes. It is a miracle I made anything at all. The time will come when she e-mails me asking for advice on some program. Sadly, I won't have any for her. She is on her own. I still have hopes on two HYIP's I am working. If they pan out, and produce the income they say they can, I could make an extra $1000 a month starting 2007. If they fall through, I'm done with them. I am very close to being finished with the autosurfs also. They all have excuses why they can't pay you. It isn't their fault: "The site got hacked and it cost all the money we had to fix it. Now that it is fixed, all the money is gone. Our egold account got hacked, and thieves stole all the money. All the money to pay members was in another surf program that went down the toilet." It is the same old story over and over. I'm waiting to see if I get paid anything from the few I have money in. If or when I get paid, I'm done playing this game. It is nothing but a circus act, run by carnival cons.
