  • How do you define your identity?

    My cultural heritage is supposed to be a “Chinoy,” meaning I am Filipino who looks Chinese! However, I was born and raised American.

    Just as we were about to leave the McD restaurant off Brokaw, we overheard the regular homeless guy complaining loudly about being kicked out of a grocery store.

    This was after I was describing (aloud) how wonderful it would be to design a grocery bag with rhinestone and a monogram with “MOM” emblazoned on the front.

    The tall Chinese guy (who seemed to be also a regular) hollered back at the deeply, tanned white guy (with a narrow face and thick bottled-eyeglasses): “Go sue them”.

    The homeless guy hollered back: “I am American! I don’t sue anybody.”

    There you go, folks. I too am American and won’t sue anyone. Perhaps, “the Donald” needs to do something about FOREIGNERS!

    “when exactly did someone sit down and consider the alternatives?”

    Let’s see. As of yet, the boy has not returned my text message about their third wedding anniversary gifts of a dozen pink roses by Maw and a greeting card signed by Paw yesterday. I can tell the boy is a henpeck and refuses to tell the twit how she has hurt the feelings of her mother-in-law and disrepected the traditions of her father-in-law.

    “How can a person define their own identity? Is it good to do this? Why or why not?”

    A person can define their own identity by how clueless they are in a multicultural society. Those “traditionalist” who continue to practice their heritage will never adapt/adjust to the progressive movement of change, which is supposed to be good for everyone. If these FOREIGNERS live in America and wanted to leave their oppressive countries, WTF are they still complaining?

  • Are you good to people you don’t know?

    Are you good to people you don’t know? How, when and why (or why not)?

    Generally, I have been know to be good to people I don’t know. However, I can piss off people whom I sensed is naughty, such as the twit’s niece. Long ago, she came over and I told her to help her aunt and the henpeck. She barely lifted up the hammer out and looked all weak. Then the twit and her talked together in the room; while I told the boy that I don’t like her.

    Usually, my face will show great disdain with my frown face — squinty eyes and downturned mouth and flairing nostrils. I really force myself to smile at strangers who are faking their sincerity. My smile will come forth when only good-natured characters are genuine.

  • Is there a cure for stupidity?

    Is there a cure for stupidity? Nope.

    “Stupid is as stupid does.” ~Forrest Gump

    If you had a million dollars to reduce stupidity where you live, how would you spend it?

    I first would round up the stupid ones of all ages, put them on a train and haul them to FEMA camps for indefinite detention. But that’s only a fable story.

    An alternate solution could be: Just don’t have children and abort the ones that will be known to have defects. And use the ones with disabilities to do simple tasks for businesses.

    Another alternate solution could be: Let them live and continue to fool them into believing that everything is fine and dandy and that a savior will come (after thousands of years) to save the day and night.

  • When you go to a movie theater…

    When you go to an movie theater, do you prefer it to be empty so can sit anywhere you like? I like it empty because I cannot stand the noise and smell from rude people.

    Or do you prefer a packed house like on opening night? I guess a packed house can be enjoyable, too. But I really don’t like crowds or their cooties.

    When you can sit anywhere, where do you sit and why? I want to sit somewhere in the middle. Actually the location doesn’t matter as long as I’m not sitting to a pervert and not way in the front where I end up craning my neck just to view the BIG screen.

  • What is something you always talk about, but never do?

    I always talk/blog about how to improve others. Yet, here I am not doing much to improve my life/style. The notion of “change” is often on my mind. And I believe in karma and the fact that I’ve pretty much given up on myself and others.

    What is something you always talk about, but never do? Why is it often on your mind? Why does it never happen?

  • Would you rather read minds or live forever?

    I would rather read minds forever. Then if perchance I happen to come across person/s that might know how to “live forever”, I could borrow/steal the thoughts and share the knowledge base thereafter.

    Living forever can be dull after many eons. That’s why you will see many people (like moi) who are simply bored — bored with blogging for instance and the need for other pursuits, such as those who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, gaming, sex, gambling, smoking, eating, etc. —- would one day/night find that being mortal with the ability to read minds and mess with other minds could be loads of fun.

  • When do the ends justify the means?

    First, I do NOT understand what is this English phrase “the ends justify the means”.

    Second, it is the means that justifies the ends, not the other way around! After all, the ends cannot be reasonably predicted and the course of the means depends on many choices/factors.

    Think along the here and now and whatever outcome/s may/may not manifest.

  • 20111123-System Jolts

    Memo: 11/23/2011 08:16am. At 1:33am, I felt a sudden but single energy jolt upon my throat chakra. It felt like it “entered” from the front and through the “Adam’s apple” area.

    Memo: 11/20/2011 16:16pm. While lying down on the bed with the green-colored, Batik-styled bedsheet upstairs in MY computer bedroom, I closed my eyes to take a late afternoon nap. I then sensed a system surge and then a brief flash of an image in mostly beige and light brown. The image was a bar-relief of a moustach guy. The outline of this image was raised. But I am not sure if the image had a beard.

  • Spiritual conspiracy…

    While trolling a thread on the EW site, I came across the following content by an “unknown author”:

    On the surface of the world right now there is
    war and violence and things seem dark.
    But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
    something else is happening underground
    An inner revolution is taking place
    and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
    It is a silent revolution.
    From the inside out. From the ground up.
    This is a Global operation.
    A Spiritual Conspiracy.
    There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
    You won’t see us on the T.V.
    You won’t read about us in the newspaper
    You won’t hear about us on the radio
    We don’t seek any glory
    We don’t wear any uniform
    We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
    Most of us work anonymously
    We are quietly working behind the scenes
    in every country and culture of the world
    Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
    in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
    You could pass by one of us on the street
    and not even notice
    We go undercover
    We remain behind the scenes
    It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
    But simply that the work gets done
    Occasionally we spot each other in the street
    We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
    During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
    But behind the false storefront at night
    is where the real work takes a place
    Some call us the Conscious Army
    We are slowly creating a new world
    with the power of our minds and hearts
    We follow, with passion and joy
    Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
    We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
    Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
    Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
    Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness…
    We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
    with our own unique gifts and talents
    Be the change you want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi)
    That is the motto that fills our hearts
    We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
    We know that quietly and humbly we have the
    power of all the oceans combined
    Our work is slow and meticulous
    Like the formation of mountains
    It is not even visible at first glance
    And yet with it entire tectonic plates
    shall be moved in the centuries to come
    Love is the new religion of the 21st century
    You don’t have to be a highly educated person
    Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
    It comes from the intelligence of the heart
    Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
    Be the change you want to see in the world
    Nobody else can do it for you (Mahatma Gandhi)
    We are now recruiting
    Perhaps you will join us
    Or already have.
    All are welcome
    The door is open

    (Please feel free to copy and share this timeless piece!)

  • Explain the difference between socialism, communism and anarachy

    Socialism is a hybrid between capitalism (the freedom to be greedy for self) and communism (the freedom to be greedy for state). Anarchy is also without a doubt a form of governing but without the restriction of representation by laws. It all depends who or what is running the show for each model and if morality and ethics come into play.

    Here’s a fun one for you folks – Explain the difference between socialism, communism and anarchy. Yay! Political Science FTW.

    And if you don’t like that one, pick your favorite system of government and find out when it was first used.

  • Silent conspiracy…

    Author’s note: A small thought about those who know about TPTB and pals and what would happen to people like moi.

    —

    You have the right to remain silent.

    Take the Fifth Amendment.

    And in doing so, you save yourself

    From being thrown into prison,

    tortured, and sold all over again

    For telling the truth.

    While others suffer death in your place…
