Better Places

The nation is split on everything.

Democants Republicnots

"We are in a recession!," some say— Oh no we are not! (the other half)

Israel! Palestine!

War! Peace!

Oil Electric.

Move onward with your goals and please forget to argue with people who choose a side just to be split.

The smartest people ignore labels and can find the good in all sides as well as the not so good found in all sides.

Onward with your goals. Stay above that noise.

Focus on better places to be.

Boundless Love

They will continue trying to erase me off the internet.

Who?

Doesn't matter.

They will, however, Be incapable and unable to delete me from the countless minds of the future idealists long to come.

One after the other After another and so forth—Eon after Eon.

Eventually they (the opposition) will be overpowered and then Forgotten like the Neanderthal or almost like the Native Americans are now—where their lineage is reduced to single strands of long DNA sequences;

No real presence.

Long after they are no longer even in the DNA strains, We will still be thriving, surviving and living because they are all pretty much connected.

That's what it means to have many DNA strains made up of long lines of ox-like warriors within you. That's exactly what the term: "made by warrior blood," even means.

Having Warrior Blood doesn't mean that you don't feel empathy or sadness. All warriors have a deep affinity for all of humankind and nature. If they did not, they would not fight so fiercely and bravely for it.

For anything, for that matter.

The true warrior is good beyond the normal. They standout from the pack because of it.

Dislexya

Dyslexia is nothing more than an immature mind and an untrained brain speeding through a task they don't want to organically do, which is: reading.

It amazes me how many people know that reading is fundamental, yet they stopped doing it the moment they didn't have to, whether for school, work or some other mandatory purpose.

Reading opens up the brain and helps keeps it sharp. The more you read the better your "dyslexia" becomes.

Reading is like sports or anything else that requires practice to master. The more you do it and perfect your form while doing it—the better you become.

Sometimes simply slowing down your mind to match the pace of your normal conversation is all that is needed when reading.

I know it's hard to do when you've got a great book in hand that keeps you engaged, but allowing your mind to absorb sentiment and mood before the next word or phrase is a skill only the well-read can master.

Read until your eyes fall out. Learn how to read what the author felt by pacing the words in your mind as they are written and not as you would have written them.

Take your time.

I know this from personal experience when my younger brother was diagnosed as dyslexic at an early age. I helped him through it thru years of hard work. I began helping him when I was 12 and that lasted about 5 years. Dyslexia gone.

America has a overdiagnosis problem and over-prescription pandemic.

Some things just need a little bit of patience.

Robotaxis been a thing, lol.

With all the recent Model Y Teslas as Ubers in NYC, and now the lowering of the Speed Limit to 20mph—I can fully see robotaxis coming within the next 3 years. Wow.

Veo

Veo el amor en los árboles y lo siento en las brisas cuando cierro los ojos.

Oigo el amor cuando camino solito por las arenas negra del mar lindo de mi país.

Toco el amor cada vez que abrazo a mi hijo o que le dio un pequeño besito en su frente o también simplemente cuando le acarició el cabello tan bello que amo tanto.

Huelo el amor— Cada vez que se me acerca mi hijo con mitad de su aroma cortesía de la mamá.

Y la única vez que puedo saborear el amor es cuando mi lengua habla de Dios.

No que queria, pues?

Most people get comfortable around people they barely know anything about, right away.

Along the way they find things these people wanted to maybe mask or hide. They find things they may not like so much.

Sometimes they find out right away— Other times they find out once it's too late.

Still, Some others get to find these things out right on time and before they get hurt from it.

People of Cancer astrology seem to get hunted for their love because they are capable of giving genuine love right away.

The drawback with Cancerians is that if your love is not genuine or if it does not come from a place that is real—they will eventually sniff out the not genuine love and then all the love they once had for you will turn into a type of hatred most people have never seen.

Remember that in order to HATE something or someone—to truly hate it or them—well to hate them means you had to LOVE them at some point. Which then also means that most people don't really understand hate enough to actually hate people. No matter how much they may use the word.

From a distance Cancerians seem sweet because they are. They give genuine love as if you've walked up to a water fountain in the park and liquid gold came out of it.

You would run home and grab some buckets or maybe some water bottles to pour some of the liquid gold into. When you get back to the park and get to the fountain no one is using it and you hope that more liquid gold is still coming out of it.

As you push the button that normally allows water to flow out of the drinking faucet of the fountain—you are surprised that liquid gold is still pouring out.

Everytime you come back to the fountain, week after week that turns into month after month which turns into year after year—that fountain keeps pouring out gold.

That is how people born under the astrological sign of Cancer are with love, so don't play with them because you are bored if you don't wish to get scorched.

Don't ever get too comfortable or cocky in their domain. In fact, that isn't an astrological thing it's a nature thing.

Try doing that with a lion. Trying to direct its personal space or introducing elements into its space it is not used to having around its space. A lion will devour you, so your death will be a swift one.

But scorching someone's ego is a slow torture not many enjoy. A pain they can inflict on you for as long as they live and only by using a handful of words they will purposely leave embedded into your mind knowing that they're never going to cross paths with you again.

They'll tear your pictures down from the walls and still expect you to love them.

Slap-free

Some people on this planet will continue slapping you in the face if you let them. Others will caress your face instead.

Some will slap you until you get sick of it and turn around and knock them out with one punch. They don't realize how long that one-punch knockout has been building up over time.

I won't turn around and hurt someone for slapping me. A slap to me says more about your hurt and pain than it even has to do with me.

I'm just not going to let you slap me anymore after too many times.

But if I let you slap me around to begin with, It was only because I had love for you then.

This means that when I am no longer allowing you to slap my face around and into the dirt—the love is gone.

No sweat off my back, ever.

Ruts & Loops

You can get stuck in a writing loop The same way family members love to repeat the same story over and over, as if they are completely unaware of who has already memorized the story from having heard it first hand so many times.

You can also just get stuck in a rut where you can't write anything at all. Some people call it Writer's Block, but it's nothing more than a lack of self-motivation.

Stay out of loops and ruts by keeping your head in the game no matter what's taking place or happening just outside of its perimeter.

Aya

A few years back I met a sweet girl named Aya over at some diner in Astoria. She was the hostess there and such a bright light. She was like a glow-in-the-dark jumping jack, hopping all along the inside of that restaurant greeting guests and shining her vibrant light upon them.

I looked forward to seeing her whenever I would go to that place. I figured she would find her way in this life just fine with her type of attitude.

I found out a day ago that she recently passed away and was saddened because she must have been around 24 years old, if that.

I wasn't sad that she was going to a better place. I was just kind of sad that there was so much here on this Earth that she didn't even get to experience yet or see.

Then I think that I am only comparing myself and my experiences to hers because to be honest I don't even know what she may have seen or experienced.

I do hope, however, That like me— She too believed that if she were to go today it would be okay because we already have seen and experienced so many beautiful things.

I hope she thought that way.

She died of an asthma attack.

RIP Aya.

CL 55 AMG

It’s no wonder, as among the features of the CL are a most unique set of door hinges that open similarly to that of a Boeing 747. Unlike the typical car, where a hinge pivots at a central fulcrum, these hinges actually allow the entire door to pop out of its mounting point and then pivot. To add further convenience and complexity, the door closure system is semi-automatic. A light touch in pulling the door closed is all that’s necessary, as an electronic servo motor pulls the door completely shut and then raises the window into a sealed position. Of course, complicated electro-mechanical systems are just inviting things to go wrong. When they inevitably do, if you’re still under the Mercedes’ 50,000-miles-from-new warranty, they’re a mere inconvenience.

I never knew the specifics of the doors to that car only that it felt like I was inside of a jet and that they closed themselves. I enjoyed that vehicle more than most. I never had an issue with the doors.

Eclipse 4/8/24

Yesterday we were hit by the strongest earthquake since we've been keeping records here in America and based on the Richter Scale.

The Richter Scale was released in 1934.

The 3 previous earthquakes that have been recorded to be bigger than yesterday's were all previous to the Richter Scale back in the 1700s and 1800s and not much higher (4.9, 5.1, 5.2) than yesterday's 4.8 quake.

Previous to the release of the Richter Scale Earthquakes were measured by an approximation of the damage it caused. They basically were estimating. This is why I say that yesterday's quake of 4/5/2024 is truly the strongest. Leaving an estimate up to someone's opinion leaves to much room for error in that guess and too much room for exaggeration.

That was at 10:23ish AM in the morning. It lasted about 22 seconds. At around 6PM or a little bit just after 6PM, also on 4/6/2024—there was another rumble, only this one felt more distant and only lasted about 4 seconds.

In Two Days, We will have a total solar eclipse on Monday April 8th, 2024.

Imagine in the past when no one even knew it was coming, how terrified people must have been. I wonder what they thought. I wonder whose destiny was immediately changed because of one.

What's important to you? Really?

If all technology went away tomorrow: What would you be doing in order to keep yourself busy and entertained, that you already enjoy doing?

Helping our children find their passions is a mission for the selfless that not many are built to endure.

One must remove personal life choices for the flexibility of passion-building, which is instilling routine learning often.

Funny Haul

It used to be that a comedian had to come to New York City to make it big.

Then, Television and cable and then the internet changed all of that fast. Comedians could now come from everywhere and anywhere.

Comedians that did well back in the days before the internet did so by doing more shows. They outperformed their peers in more ways than one.

That's probably the easiest way to a successful path someone else has taken—follow their regimen and then figure out how to outperform them.

The hardest part, which is normally the strategy, is already laid out for you to simply follow.

Where You Sit

The things you do They are not ever for you They are for everyone else to see and pay you attention for.

The things that I do Stay out of plain view Those things are not for me or for you But for those that I love.

I have no love for anyone that I don't say those words too. And those words no longer get forced out of me for feeling bad.

But it's really none of my business how anyone feels about me, So I never even bother and simply move past the moment and the thought.

I'm living the dream I once prayed to God day and night for. You absolutely were not in that dream a few decades ago.

In case you were wondering.

Sunset Se Fue

I was chasing old sunsets out on Sunset.

Chasing old times With beautiful souls; Back to a time with much less responsibility than today.

It seems, however— Sunset Boulevard wasn't the same old Sunset Blvd from only just a decade ago.

The road itself felt less golden from lack of sunlight and much colder surrounded by all the new building construction that had gone up since. New hotels, new structures along the road, new advertisements, new brands.

Sunset felt isolated and more desolate now, As if its heart & soul had been sucked out of it by some malevolent stealth force.

I walked on the road down the hill and just behind The Mondrian Hotel. It wasn't as vibrant as less than a decade back and many businesses were bordered up.

I realized then that nothing stays the same And enjoying the moment now is a much better way of living than attempting to bring moments far-too-gone back from the dead.

I strolled Sunset by myself heading into the sunset one evening. A once jolly stroll felt so isolated as all the luxury cars whisked on by.

I saw that same kind of surreal movie set happen in Downtown Manhattan after 9/11. I lived it as my business was down in that area before and after that disaster.

But Cali was supposed to always remain different in my mind. It was supposed to always be the golden ray of sunshine where everything was bright and everyone was moving in positive trajectories. Instead it became a ghost town too.

These resets that I have watched two of our major cities go through truly display just how little we have come to progress in a world where our technology makes it seem as if we are much more ahead than we need to be.

Focus on feeding your loved ones useful knowledge. Keep gossip for could-have-beens, losers and sheep.

War Genes

If your genes made it to 2024 Your genes have war codes embedded in them.

War mode in humans is different.

Think of it as changing the setting in your Tesla or any car brand that allows you to go from a Comfort Mode to a Sports Mode. The handling gets tighter in sports mode. The acceleration gets quicker. You immediately know the difference once you hit the gas pedal to go.

War mode is survival mode. Your body adjusts instantly— Your mindframe is affected by the spur of chemicals released in that mode.

You are another version of you that may have never been unlocked. That part of you is from surviving war. It means that somewhere down the line your ancestors survived war. Everyone alive today too.

How exactly they survived war is another story, As each encounter with war is seen from a different perspective depending on who you ancestors were.

Sometimes these potentially useful War Modes can get unlocked during imbibing festivities or by great traumas caused to the cranium. Too many times, someone experiencing War Mode within themselves will not know what is happening and will brush it off as caused by that accident or trauma that unlocked this mode. However, this was only before we finished sequencing DNA.

War mode is embedded into our genes from traumas of past wars. Some of these codes embedded into our DNA that come from those wars improve our instincts in order to stay alive.

How often you listen to your own self is something we can improve on each day.

Each hour.

Each minute that goes by.
