That about says it all really...

Well an interesting title indeed. But it does actually serve a purpose. A few years ago at the Superbowl, Miss Janet Jackson popped out a boob. If that was a wardrobe malfunction or intended is not important right here. The point is when that happened there was major out cries. People went nuts for over a month...
Its a family event, children could be watching, its not the proper place for such things. And so on than so forth...
Then this year at the Superbowl,  5-10 seconds of what I have been told is hardcore porn was shown. Other than brief mentions, mostly by comedic types, there has been nothing I am aware of.

Am I the only one who thinks that porn is worse than a single boob.

Where is the out cries. Where are the people who are upset, where is the outrage.

If we, they, the people are going to be outraged about such things as a boob, then it seems fair to be that the outrage should equally shared. And when things worse than a boob appear the outrage should be greater.

What happened to it? What is happening to the world?
I still care! Don't you? Don't they?

Have decided that I am a Quitter. I am from this point forward making effect towards quitting smoking. Am not fooling myself. Know that I can not just say i quit and that's it. That will not work. I am going to however make a plan. Am currently keeping notes on my smoking habits as well as reducing my intact. The goal is to quit or be very close to quitting at the very lest by the end of this month.

Lets see how I go with this... will keep you informed...

There has definitely been some good movies released so far this year, Gran Torino is one of them. The acting in this movie is top shelf, then are is the man Eastwood himself.
What can I possibly say that others haven't already. We all know actors and/or acting do not make a movie. There is the script, the cinematography and so and and so forth. Excellent movies like this one could be considered the perfect storm of all these.
The only thing that worries me is this year (movies) has started off so strongly that it is hard to believe that they (hollywood) will be able to keep this up for the full year.
I would be over joyed if I was proven wrong, if this year (movies) maintains this level then that compared to many years gone past would be an enlightening experience to the mass who have for to long been feed mindless dribble.

So we all know that about the current financial crisis that the world is currently going through, well I assume if you are using the internet you have, I think it would be hard not to know about it. Okay anyway where I live, Queensland, they are building tunnels under the Brisbane.
On the news recently they say that one is about done but the North direction tunnel is facing problems. They are having financial issues. The news then goes on to say that the city is thinking of going over seas for aid to get this tunnel built. Hmmm...
We can not do something because of the financial crisis our money is short, so we will borrow more (in the midst of the financial crisis) See my problem.
I hope so. This tunnel I would think will be a multimillion dollar project, hundreds of millions, billions I would think. And not of vital importance. The city could survive without it for a little longer. Even if they just waited till the financial crisis has settled, been fixed. Then seek assistance. But doing it the mist of the crisis which they keep claiming is so bad.. is just plain silly. Do they want to get the city in trouble..? If they claim we can easily pay back the debt (that would have to include interest) then just wait, get the money up....
Starting to do circles so I'll leave it there for now.

side note: do believe I have mention my belief that they are not just drilling tunnels for transport, but they are/ very well could be establishing and/or expanding a underground base/city. 

Well just went to edit the former blog from today and low and behold I was doing a half assed job and clicked deleted instead of edit. I was going to edit the blog, which was about how knowing I have readers has made me think about the entertainment/interest value of my blogs. The edit was to be an add on really, to say its more like going from singing in the shower to singing for a crowd than it is begin unable to pee because someone is watching you. Know the jist but can not remember or be bothered trying to retype it. So this what has become of it I guess. Nothing like the original but with the same idea in there somewhere I think. 

No idea what I am going to write as I sit here at my keyboard. Just have this feeling that I should blog, so blogging I am. Life for me is going great... I feel great, I have someone wonderful in my life, I am healthy (well as far as I know)
I like where I am. I am slightly afraid however.
Afraid that moving forward will unbalance what I've got going. For example, (not complaining, just stating) I have been a little slack in regards to my spiritual practices. Not that it isn't in my mind, and its not like times gone by when I just could not be bothered or have got depressed and or sidetracked. Its just that life is going well, I am enjoying it. And enjoying it has left me juggling time. Do not want to give the impression I am run off my feet. By no means is that the case. I keep saying time, but in all honesty its motivation not time that is the thing. Well ... more so.
I do know that just because things change, and regardless of if I move forward or not, things will change. (It is what things do) Nothing is to say that change is always bad. The only things change is always, is change. It is different to what was.
Never have dealt extremely well with change. I'm a better the devil you know type of person. Meaning if things are not great, I can cope with that, if I know (can get my head around) what is going on.  With that said I am sure that there have been times in my past when I have pulled away from things that may have been good for me, just because it evolved changing.
I did not try to change, to get where I am ... not dramatically. I have been working on improving myself, coping better with the world that surrounds me. Just little things to keep me functioning. The changes that happened over the last 12 months or so caught me by surprise. I like the improved me... not running and hiding from it.

And i just realized there is a bit of hypocrisy in my above words.
Disliking change, but liking the improved me. (which came about through change) I know... I know... yes I have stated I dislike hypocrisy, but I can not escape it here. It is what it is.. From my mind, through the keyboard, to cyberspace, on to your screen.
Not a well written piece, not a overly interesting one either, but I can say truthfully that it is honest.

I think the reason that I was able to get to where I am now is because I did not realize I was changing until I had changed. That prevented me from hiding from myself, hiding from the change.

An extra note: I know that millions and millions of people are doing that.. yet most of those people are really stressed. I chose not to be stressed... were I can... I am trying...

Well am over at my brothers, fooling around on there computer not doing anything much. Downloaded this game and need winrar to extract it... nothing shocking about winrar. So i thought. It turns out that there is currently a virus trojan hiding itself to that useful program. It produces a pop up with comanglia repeated three times and an okay button. It also redirects your internet exploring program. It seems currently no solution other than taking system back to factory setting. So yeah, am feeling like a right goose as I sit here typing this on laptop as my brothers computer does its system restore. 

What exactly is a contributing member of society?

Does it just mean jumping through the societies hoops, holding down a job, paying taxes, so on an so forth?

Was Christ a contributing member? If so is that because he was a carpenter? Or does his work in the fields religion and spirituality count?

The impression I get from the world around me at this time is that its the working, paying taxes thing.

Which leaves me ... it leaves me ... I don't know where. As I have said before I am not opposed to working. But is not now nor will it ever be the be all and end of my existence.

(don't reckon that makes much sense to anyone other than me, barely does to me. But working through things in my head and getting it out helps sometimes.)

There are, as far as I can tell, two kinds of people in this world. Those who serve others and those who serve them self.
Those who serve them self often get what they want but are not concerned with what happens to anyone else in the process. Basically they would screw you to get what they want and not bat an eyelid. Yep that is right, pretty much most people fall in that category in the world currently.
And then there are those who serve others. Funny thing about that is, though they don't directly get what they want. By helping others in the long run they generally end up getting their own. With others, those around them also being assisted. It is not even that hard. Yes it is a change in mindset (for some). And it is just the opinion of one man here, but I feel, I think, I believe that the world would be a much better place if we all put others before ourselves. That means even putting those who are out to only serve themselves first before you. Yes! that does at times get frustrating, assisting those who are only helping themselves. Still ... does not change anything. I can only control myself, my actions. And I choose to work at making this world a better place.
