20090501-Dream Journal
I awoke to a dream of the three of us going on vacation in Jamaica. This was incredible, knowing I couldn’t afford this and the second upcoming vacation.
We were at an airport bustling with people. I remember we were seated down and I got up to see my lime-green colored jacket had fallen to the back of and in between the chairs lined up against this glass wall without a few.
This was to my eleven o’clock field of vision. To the right field of vision, there was a passage way to exit from the airport. The day was very bright. The three of us passed through and underneath a white-colored overhang.
I saw two black people in my three then four o’clock field of vision. A black boy about my height was wrapped in a towel robe of color white. Behind him was a black woman. She had both hands on his shoulders, assuring him that it would be alright to meet Hillary. I thought eww! Someone help this kid!
Anyway, I found myself seated at the six o’clock direction with five other white folks at this circular table outdoor. I was talking to a brunette-haired guy (Taylor Made) to my left. I remember visually ‘hearing’ (and twice already): ‘Life’s a bowl of chips. The dip makes it fun.’
We got up and I went to look for my parent in a two o’clock field of vision. I saw them among a standing crowd at the front. The made their way from ‘right to left’ and down the center as I awaited them.
We walked among a field of grass. Some guy was spraying some people with a garden hose of green-color. The hose looked like it couldn’t be seen as it blended with the shade of the tall grass. People hopped over it to avoid the guy from pulling it taut.0
Then I saw a fun-house of art and painting and movie stars going inside. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, smiling.

Lots of high winds today blowing eucalyptus leaves and pollens everywhere, mostly in backyard and near backdoor. Can’t blow wet leaves until dry. Maybe tomorrow.

20090321-Whistleblower’s Rant
Well, like the dedicated blogger, TPTB got me, too. Only instead of freezing my accounts, there’s nothing after 8.9 slong years. If I so much as dare to squeal, there would be ABSOLUTELY nothing. It’s almost like I’m ‘suing’ myself, just like what would happen if the retained workers of AIG would file suit for non-payment of contractual obligations, which essentially works the same way but only courtesy of the American taxpayers.
Yup, it’s because anyone interested in knowing how the world is run would eventually run into trouble, which in reality is a virtual prison planet. Noone could go up into heaven or down into hell. What really happens is that we all get recycled back into these fleshy bodies to experience eternal ‘bliss’ (once in awhile) amidst ‘chaos’ created by, y’all guessed it, TPTB.
Despite the grave concern placed before my path in this current lifetime, I’m up late at night keeping my mind busy with a new (but free) WordPress.COM theme – ChaosTheory, which has all the elements, except the ‘entry-meta’ is listed in a block formation.
And sure enough I’m still penniless due to this stupid ‘economic crisis’, which reduces my chances of finding at least a stinking, temporary job, which would help pay down my credit card debt from hell! Sheesh! But in a twisted sort of ‘fate’, the government is ‘helping’ but not by much.

20090103-Decor Down
Paw and I took down the X-mas decors after eating a late breakfast at 1000am. We finished at 330pm. It’s easier to clean up. I used leaf blower and Paw mopped..

20081203-Hard Yardwork
Yup, that is what I did with Paw that morning — yard work and happily so as I held the ladder steady for him while he reached precariously overhead to prune the branches of fruit trees from our backyard.
Just when I thought I would recover from the three day fun of putting up X-mass lights — both inside and outside our home over that weekend, I ended up working outdoors again, only with animated objects, like our fruit trees.
This time and for the first time I handle Paw’s mini-machete, or simply a long knife. I actually found the strength to do deep knee bends, pick up the branches which fells to the ground of ginger rocks below and proceeded to whack away at the branches, making them smaller than his 2 feet suggestion by the waste company for pickup on Friday’s schedule.
Normally, we are not allowed to ‘dump’ our yard trimmings onto the road no more than 24 hours prior to pick-up but the old man wanted get the job done. And we did without Maw in the way as she busied herself to cooking our lunch meal.
I truly enjoy gardening, as long as someone else is there to do some harmless bickering. I used the leaf blower while he sort of worked on the second tree. The old leaves, branches and other debris were blown to their usual spot in the ditch near the corner of the fence.
Then I went to work on the front yard and blew both dust from the street and sidewalk, eucalyptus leaves onto our small pile of no more than 4 feet in height. After feeding on some chicken soup, I took my quick shower and blogged as usual.
Yup, I could do yardwork because I do NOT have to worry about my nails being broken. If y’all see acrylic nails on any of those witches, it means they are too proud to get their pristine fingers and hands all dirty or their skins are too sensitive for hard work.
After all these years of not hearing the old man complain of not receiving help from his ungrateful children, I now realize how important teamwork is: It gets the job done faster, too. And plus, he gets to rest earlier instead of too far into the night.

20081015-Buried Debt
‘Let the dead to bury their own dead!’ (A passage from the Bible per Luke 9:59-62)
So, during breakfast about one-half hour ago, I’m hearing Ben Bernake speaking in the ‘The Economic Club of New York’ and at the same time seeing the Dow Jones numbers taking a plunge. All I keep visualizing by my own imagination is this invisible ‘Wizard of Oz’ pulling on all sorts of levers to change the way the numbers appear on that board of the New York Stock Exchange.
I cannot understand how printing more money out of thin air is going to fix their mess. It’s like a gravedigger filling multiple holes in the dirt with no dead bodies. I don’t believe in paper money or gold standards either because y’all are missing the point: — All of you are basically dead for worshipping this crap and lining your pockets with bling.
Anyway, instead of advocating for the rich, y’all pretty much giving away free money to the poor by taking the hard-earned pennies from the rich. I don’t like socialism or communism but those are not evil words. Capitalism is an idea where the freedom to private property is false due to TAXES! Profits — capital gains, dividends and interests shouldn’t be taxed!
Why should we the American taxpayers be investors to this elaborate scam (or Ponzi scheme) by donating to the deadbeats and supporting the lazy ones who don’t know that the rich are the ones that profit, expand business and provide more jobs to those willing to make money off of their own blood, sweat and tears?
Can you image everyone staying home, watching the boob tube, eating ice cream all day and listening to the nagging of spouses and screeching of children? Not unless everyone knows how to spend their money wisely, it’s better to work than to daydream in a virtual world of imaginary free lunches and where money grows on trees.
I realize that the ones at the bottom of the dung heap DESERVE to be where they are in this lifetime. The mercy will come to those on top (i.e. bosses) who know how to spread the wealth wisely. These ‘bosses’ need to be more responsible for their actions by taking care of their workers and less greedy by spreading the wealth.
‘We need more faith’, said the fat one.
I told ‘them’ they need more than faith. I told ‘them’ to take action now. For heaven’s sake, what can one CEO do with all that money earned in a life time — hire more prostitutes, gambling money away or drink more fire water (e.g. alcohol)? This is indeed a hedonistic lifestyle. But it does provide jobs in the form of slavery of the body and mind! With it goes the hope and spirit, too, when the addiction is taken away. It’s too bad.
‘But this unidentified fund doesn’t belong to that customer!’ Fluffy said to her boss.
Where is the protection for the workers, the whistleblowers and the truth tellers? I am sickened to know that there are people who are still willing to ‘go along’ just to survive. They, these cogwheels, are unfortunately unable to do anything about the big machine. A few souls could make a difference by humor and that works but very slowly as the process goes for any improvement. But most ‘liars’ protect themselves from the truth — we are in it together.
A final note: Just let the banks fail for fooling the people into believe they could live on credit alone.

20080908-Still Spinning
‘They think you are stupid.’ (Barack Obama in response to the GOP as the agent of change)
Unlike the whistle blowers (who are committed to mysterious suicides, such as the DC madams, prolific writers and honest journalists), the spin doctors live yet another day. Why? Because they are on a payroll to present lies to the public, the dumb voters for all I care. These liars are the well-paid kinds that won’t tell the truth about Barack Obama, for example.
And for whatever odd reasons, the media cannot seem to dig dirt on the guy. He is a mystery to me and I don’t like him for the one of many reasons that I told to ‘them’ a couple of weeks ago: ‘The blacks will only vote for their own kinds’. Why? For all I know, Barack could have some support from certain radicals or liberals. I guess the bottom feeders would get angry if they don’t get their way, basically.
And recently, Rev. Jesse Jackson has gotten food poisoning per the brief data from the running ticker located at the bottom of the screen while watching the spin doctors present their lies through the personalities of the newsworthy, cable programmings that one day. I’m seriously suggesting that those who speak even an ounce of honest truth (no matter how hurtful and unpopular or biased) would get a warning, just like the recent food poisoning.
Is this why the spin doctors don’t fully investigate who is really Barack Obama and where and if this presidential candidate really is a naturally born citizen of the United States? Isn’t it convenient that the State of Hawaii (another state for the potential secession from the federal government) doesn’t disclose birth certificates for public scrutiny? Moreover, isn’t Hawaii a dumping ground for criminals (like some Japanese and Filipinos, like Imelda Marcos), just as Australia was a wasteland for British prisoners?
I guess the media mongrels are afraid of certain groups of people for pulling their puppet strings. Unfortunately, I know Barack will be the puppet to the ‘status quo’, who happens to be Joe Biden, a clean up crew for the mess left behind the current administration. I know that the ‘advisors’ will be behind the scenes for making Barack Obama appear as another fall guy, just like GWB. I could see how ‘they’ spin the blame on these guys. It’s sad and only my opinion, of course, duh!
Barack Obama’s acceptance speech as the nominee for the Democratic Party went well enough. I liked the fireworks, fine. If the items he mentioned in his speech is possible, fine. But I know the ‘status quo’ won’t like all those possible ‘ideas’ from Barack’s ‘speech’ because there is too much at stake with lobbyists, special (Ahem!) interest groups, especially the fat ones with their greasy palms on the pork-bellied, earmarks.
Another spin on recent newsworthy events are the stupid weather reports on these tropical storms that didn’t reach hurricane levels. It’s a waste of viewing time and full of air, rushing around and spinning everywhere. It symbolizes how the media is able to get away with presenting untruths to the dumb voters and bottom feeders alike. I find the recent bail out of the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae is a scam to the poor people.
Have y’all wondered why the government created these two entities? It’s to get payment of interest from the debt-holders of mortgages. Chaos has been created because all of a sudden the poor folks can’t seem to keep up with the payments. Moreover, the ‘status quo’ is making it harder for people to get away with filing for bankruptcy and paying their debt, which the fools cannot afford to pay off in a lifetime. Now the government has to take back their puppy and become the savior to the stock market, the rich folk’s version of a gambling casino.
So, those who easily believe whatever the spin doctors tell y’all, good luck. I like positive campaigning. But we really need to listen to the substance of the speech and figure out if the direction of these politicians is truthful enough for the interest of the people of the United States. The issues could go both ways. I prefer freedom-will with secur-unity. I wonder if that’s possible.
