Definitely not mediocre. I live and work at home, spend way too much time in front of my computer on the internet, especially Youtube. I do not get out much. When I do it usually involves some form of exercise. The truth is that I exist a bit like a Shaolin Monk and long for a female companion, hence why the name Jedi Master Roshi.
On Youtube I am TheAwakenedOne.
If you expect me to wear a condom, I may appear like a Catholic who is at odds with himself. I think abortion is wrong, and yet I do believe in birth control, especially when it applies to everyone else. If you expect me to tithe, I may look for something to come of it, which may make me appear Hindu. And, then if you got some peyote to share, I may go native on you. FYI, it is legal for the American Indians to use it on the reservation in their spiritually awakening rituals.
I don't go for online personal chats. I think chatting is cheap and shallow, and I happen to be pretty deep. The only time you will catch me chatting these days is when I am talking to support. I think chatting is fine when it the fastest way to the top of the support que; but, it is cheap and impersonal. In HS I conducted this experiment where two of us talked to someone, each with a different ear. The only thing they will make out and remember is their name. Try it yourself. Wives frequently accused accuse their husbands of not paying attention, when they plop down in front of the TV after work.
About 16 years ago, I got caught in a time warp. On Halloween it occurred to me that maybe it is like The Rocky Horror picture show, which keeps playing over and over again. I missed its debut -- my first wife went with someone else. Wish I had seen it play at the Roxy Music Hall in Hollywood, when I went to visit friends in California. Perhaps then I would have been prepared for what was to follow.
The ex-wife met her death some years ago. She overdosed on an over the counter medication while in the care of a nursing home in Massachusetts. Another tragedy that could have been avoided, if medical marijuana was legal. She had MS (Multiple Sclerosis), which has been successfully treated with marijuana. When marijuana was not available, she would choose to self medicate herself with an over the counter medication.
So does marijuana lead to harder drugs, when it was the legal ones that killed her? Marijuana, which is not lethal, is still illegal. Where is the justice in that thought. There hasn't been a single death attributed to marijuana.
When she died, I was released from the spell she cast on me, but not the pain of the loss. The son I had by her is now a young man. My relative age really is 44. Everyone who has guessed says so.
Basically, I am a family man, now bachelor who likes being D&D free. My vices are limited to the occasional beer, some free soft porn on the Internet (thank you Paris), and some good wine with supper, and the occasional party favor. FYI, the bird loves children, and so do I. I can't live without fun forms of exercise, my hot tub with surround sound, and my home theater.
I spend most of my time working on one of my computers and Internet. I miss doing things together with first wife (now deceased). We would fly kites, ride bicycles, play tennis, go fishing, white water rafting, camping and hiking together alot before we were married; somehow less after we got married, and I got caught up in the rat race. We were so happy together for so many years.
Now I am free of the rat race. I've been doing this gig for 14 years; and, I miss having a companion. I work at home, and live alone for the most part.
I came to realize a long time ago that there is nothing more powerful than a thought whose time as come. Question is: Are you ready to cut loose of the leaches? Can you see through the lies, the deceit, the cheating and the hypocrisy that surrounds us all?
Its OK. I hit reset. I am starting over again. NO FEAR this time around, having seen how it plays out.
Yoda was right about fear leading to hatred and the dark side. Free yourself of the burdens that fear places on you.
God is good, and good people should not fear. Love God and you too will lead a charmed life. Saint Frances of Assisi knew how.
That is me in a nutshell. I like poetic justice.
Until now the power brokers game was always Divide and Conquer. That's why am an independent. I won't fall into that trap again. If you step back, it is so easy to see how we were all sold out by so these so called public servants so they could move up into that house in the country...
Democrats and Republicans are Mob Families .. ..
It should be even more evident now that we have someone from Chicago moving into the Oval Office. Can you name the entities drawing 5% or more of your wages starting with government and insurance?FYI, the original IRS Charter , which was disolved after the Civil War, called for a tax on foreign nationals. It never happened. Today's Mexican and East Indian laborers do not pay a dime in income tax. I expect that many of them do not pay as much into Social Security as they should. Aren't you bit curious as to how the US war against slavery, ended up creating a slave state?
My grandfather, a banker, US Citizen, lived in the US 100 years ago, and he legally never paid a dime income tax. Of course, he died long before I was born; but, it is a testiment as to how quickly (in just two generations) we were programmed to give up a major portion of our wages to the government neocon leaches, without question.
But wait, it gets worse. A guy struggling to survive pays at a higher rate (28% of income) than an investor on Wallstreet (25% capital gains). Only the later is actually considered income by the US Constitution. The former makes you a slave to the state. So how did the US Government leaches survive with out income tax 100 years ago?
Foreign Corporations are in the same boat; and, here is an interesting footnote, the Federal Reserve, which is neither Federal nor a Reserve, is controlled by international bankers. Wake up America, you are being enslaved by these foreign concerns. The role of the Federal Government is limited to protecting the nation and our Constitutional freedoms. Well they are doing a real bank job. Is it any wonder why American corporations are moving overseas and why American companies are laying off US Citizens in favor or hiring an unamerican work force? It is all about the taxes.
Really I don't have a problem with the foreign nationals and the foreign corporations, if they would help to pay off the national debt just like everyone else. After all they are the ones reaping the benefits from the free world we created from all this military spending.
See... It is all about choices. You can submit to the programming of CNN (the Communist News Network) or Fox (the Faux News) and let the virus they breed fill your system, or turn it off. They will fill your head with a fascist propoganda, if you let them, that has been cropped to fit the predominant dogma so its easy to swallow.
Makes me yearn for the days when the water was clean and sex was dirty. Now the treasury is a hole in the ground that leads straight to China, and drinking water is almost as valuable as gasoline.
When the world flips on its axis, you can shave your head like a pop star. I however like the alternative. You too can choose to live on the edge like me, without taking up much space, or contributing to global warming. After all it is the Internet Age.
Sometimes I wish everyone could see the spin that our political and business leaders put on the story; but I know it would turn your stomach. See in this town you can crush a story with money. I've seen it done while on the job at IBM. I saw Obama do it with his huge campaign budget.
Make no mistake, the only presidential candidates that were going to bring about any real change were Ron Paul and the third party candidates he endorsed like Ralph Nader. Kucinich is also a good guy. At least he had the guts to stay out of the closed session of congress last spring, 2008. As far as I am concerned, vote for either of the two party presidential candidates only encourages the politicians to act out. Official they will deny using planning a forecasting models when making policy.

Oh my gosh! Am I "Too White and Nerdy"?
Hopefully not entirely. Even so, thanks for the plug Al. The first part is definitely me. I do create web sites and occasionally I play Knights of the Old Republic. Let me know, if you would like to play a round of online golf. I also play Tiger Woods 08 on the PS3.
