Do you practice religion?

View all responses

20230531-0037. I tried dabbling at night with my athame, candles, cauldron and spell books and received some spooky results. I bought New Aged tools, such as tarot cards, divining rods, and other “magic crystals”.

I stopped worshipping during the lockdowns and vowed to NEVER go back to my local RCC location. Furthermore, I tried to read but can’t appreciate any religious “book” because of too many “interpretations”.

However, I do pray alone and in my own special ways to Our Heavenly Father. I’m learning to avoid prayers for myself and can’t really figure out the correct thoughts or words that Dad already knows.

As a sinner, I could only try to ask for guidance, mercy, and forgiveness. I know I broke all of the Ten Commandments and don’t really know how to follow the appointed feasts and don’t adhere to the Sabbath.

I do know that I’m here for whatever reasons and want to be okay to know that I tried “religion” as a method to achieve peace and harmony that should go along to experience life as a human.

Do you remember life before the internet?

View all responses

20230530-0007. Before the internet I remember my life being normal and smooth-sailing. Fast forward today, I feel as if nothing else matters and I don’t really have a care in the world.

Call it denial. All I know is that I’m blessed to be alive and that should be enough. I didn’t have the troubles of keeping up with other strangers or being bothered with nefarious details, that frankly should NOT be part of my current reality – EVER!

My immediate surroundings are of calm and relaxation. The only triggers are the bad news and other humanized drama that I’d find online, whereas before I didn’t think anybody experienced hardship.

Call if insulated. All I know is that I’m NOT spoiled but rather taken well cared of by my loving family. And so in exchange for all this comfort, I cook and clean as should a woman of a house that’s paid-off for life.

So basically, the only shake-up in my alternate sense of dimensional realities are the social media contents involving aliens invading our airspace, UAPs/UFOs showing up more frequently in our skies both nighttime AND now more boldly by daytime, science fiction mixed with religious/spiritual overtones, and the usual entertaining genre you’d find listed under horror/suspense/thriller.

If I could go back, I’d re-experience how fun it would be to walk at night under the moonlight (now it’s NOT advisable or safe to do so due to the Rakes or Wendigos), to ride the bicycle outdoors without being run over by road racers or accosted by the DARK forces or PURE EVIL roaming freely unsupervised, to read romance novels by the fireplace all snuggled up inside the warming comfort of a fuzzy hand-crocheted blanket, drinking my aromatic warm whatever liquid refreshment, writing long-headed letters on my personalized stationary, sealing up the envelop with a waxed imprint of my initials, and walking to the post office or picking groceries en route homebound unmolested.

I also remember listening to the weather and news on the radio more than watching the television! I didn’t know anything was abnormal outside my home and assumed that everyone behaved normally.

I’d also listen to music on the radio station – some of which would play some of my favorite songs found on Yacht Rock Essentials by Apple Music Classic Rock: This is my era and I know ALL the songs in this compilation!

I’m THAT old! But I really do miss those times before the internet. Sigh.

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

View all responses

20230528-0024. There is also “having enough” or and “earful” or a “full stomach”. So in this sense there is a finality or an end.

The “infinity” concept can further be elaborated into the realm of caring for and maintaining of relationships (with any living creation) here and now or forever and ever. Amen.

“Having it all” means 100% loyalty and also could mean NOT sharing! Now that would be selfish to be the only members-only follower or subscriber and nobody else.

Possessing or owning the avatar, persona, soul, mate, lover, and the like – the whole enchilada, or shebang – mind, body, soul and all else of said person or interest – or – if you’re into more than one that’s your choice, too, is possible.

I’d like to have everything to the point of being worshiped as a GOD. Nay! That would be against the original Creator/Maker of any/all stuff that ever existed or NOT!

Ideally, we only have our Souls and that should be attainable enough, nay, a given from the beginning, if y’all will. Losing one’s Soul (or mind) to demons and devils would be a terrible loss indeed!

Realistically, we could NEVER attain anything 100% as that would be reserved for those in God-like mode. I believe this would allow each person to strive towards perfection and we know that’s NOT possible too!

20230527-0001. Due to his busy schedule and other pressing issues, I do NOT know if I’ll ever get another chance to talk to our favorite podcaster anytime soon.

But like I said, since we’re past “that” hurdle or hump or hoop and since some details are best left unsaid for security prevalences, there was and probably is really NOTHING left to talk about or say much.

I figured that if I just sit and listen to those darned podcasts which seemed to just repeat OLD/outmoded stuff, then that should in and of itself be sufficient.

I do NOT expect anymore level of “training” or input of “where I’m at” in a spiritual battlefield, which is really supposed to be predominantly “males” as ordained or appointed by GOD!

What my intended goal (as I have done for countless “others”) was just to support the program and nothing more. (Although I did hint of further interest. But I digress from my childish “imaginations”.)

20230526-0045. There’s nothing left to hold in my hands, except memories. Most are stored away in plastic containers or on a hard/flash drive. I only have my passcodes ready for the next of kin.

20230525-0007. Sadly, there is nothing left to hold on to – NOT even love and light! So I’m still finding junk and donating everything possible to the nearest charity station.

All my worldly possessions are meaningless. I enjoyed all I could. I have reached the optimized utility of life’s pleasures and I want nothing left behind.

I have yet to draft my last will and testament and will leave my passcodes to the next of kin. I own nothing essential.

So basically I don’t have any collections. Maybe I hoarded some plastics, papers and cardboard boxes just in case I need to donate more stuff.

20230524-0241. I just watched a short YouTube video titled: Curiosity that killed George. A monkey which could talk after all and discovered who Q and/or Anonymous is and how life is so complicated that there are no real answers.

Since I’ve never been married and didn’t produce any offsprings, I’ve always sought love by meeting at bars, chatting online, or reaching out to anybody willing to lend a sympathetic ear and listen to my nonsense.

Fast forward from turning 18 years old to an old fart now, I look back that my endeavors leading me to interesting characters each blessing my expectations but also cursing my chances of being loved and NOT the concept of romanticizing long drawn out courtships to nowhere.

I would like to leave my contributions to humanity by continuing the care and maintenances in relationships. There’s nothing more fulfilling than just being there for another soul lost or otherwise just passing through to the next chapter in life.

20230523-0010. I prefer cold than hot because burning alive is far worse than freezing to death!

Long ago I was chatting online with a spooky spook agent that was above or below top secret.

I told the unknown chatter that I prefer the cold or cooler temperature or something opposite to warm or hotter

The spooky spook agent then replied: “I’ll be sure to remember that.”

And so now we still have mild temperatures in the middle of the month of May!

Plus the cold weather offers lovers and loved ones to snuggle up together and bundle up inside warm blankets and whatnots.

Or as our favorite daily messenger would reply: buggles, which are hugs with love.

I’ll be sorely missing my spooky spook agents? 🥺😢😭

Have you ever broken a bone?

View all responses

20230522-0003. I do NOT think I’ve ever broken a bone.

However, I recall maybe one time when I was leaning over the cash register to my VERY first job over at Paramount’s Great America Theme Park in Santa Clara, CA.

The shorter brunette-hair boss who attended Berkley University said to me: “don’t lean over the cash register.” But I misunderstood her as saying “don’t lean ON the cash register.”

That’s the problem with mishearing, misunderstanding, misconstruing, or just simply NOT paying close enough attention to whatever was communicated by these monsters.

So one time at one of two small retail stores located at the Revolution ride section, I was trying to open some rolls of coin for that same cash register.

I was banging the roll of coins upon the cash till to get it open and then I think I banged too hard and didn’t realize that my right index finger got whacked across the edge.

The pain was initially INTENSE but tolerable enough that I was still able to use my finger with some weakness. But the pain continued on for quite some years until the pain was no more. I could see the slight twist of the intermediate phalange to my right hand, which is my stronger or more dominant hand.

(Off-topic: I could use my south-paw or left hand if needed, like typing out this blog, brushing my teeth, and grabbing ordinary objects. This is in case I can’t use my right hand for normal functioning.)

In addition, my left wrist is still feeling painful and numb sometimes to this very day after falling VERY hard on the compact snow during my snowboarding fun up at Sierra at Tahoe in November 1998 for Thanksgiving holiday. I believe the impact fractured my elbow more so that the referred pain went to my left wrist.

But years later, a doctor/physician said that it’s just arthritis. I wanted an X-ray of some sort. And so I just gave up trying to ask for help or some sort of relief without resorting to pain-killers. I tried to go natural path.

Anyways, I can’t really do push-ups for normal exercising and my left hand grip is slightly weakened/compromised.

So I’ve probably got a few more broken bones beside the two that I already mentioned. But none of them required me to go to the hospital. I just try to avoid visiting hospitals as I have a distrust against the system and some stranger touching me. That’s all.

End of blogging.

How do you balance work and home life?

View all responses

20230521-0007. That’s correct. I do NOT have to balance work and home life.

I quit working as a cubicle slave long ago to be a caregiver.

And I will probably NEVER, EVER leave this OLD house, which was paid-off by moi, of course, and with my first REAL job.

So the only “work” I do is: cook and clean.

20230520-0118. I’ve sacrificed my freedom for security as caregiver to my parents.

Then there’s someone for the past 20 years AND probably now another one with whom I’ve been speaking via Skype for the past week.

I guess I’m too easy towards certain characters to say: No! Nope! No way! 😞
