Fall is finally here and it's a breath of fresh air. Halloween has passed with today being the Mexican day of the dead. It's nice not seeing everyone masked up. The past year or so has been quite trying to say the least. While things on the surface (in this regards) seems to be returning normal it's actually just revving up.
It's been awhile since my last post and I decided to expand a bit on the winding down effect. It's picked up pace which shouldn't come as a surprise to those capable of questioning the narrative. The dream of life is becoming evermore of a nightmare. The continual pressure to get jabbed or face loosing one's livelihood along with limited travel options are worsening while the resistance to this is minimal but growing. There's a lot of speculations that the jabs are for population control and time will reveal that to be true or not. If nothing else it's about limiting our ability to move about and be left alone which is bad enough. Either way - I'm not gonna comply and will likely loose my job as a resort. It's scary but anytime something like this is pushed with such an intensity something about it isn't right - whatever it is.
With my possible looming job situation quickly approaching it just drives home the point that I should've traveled more. I've never been under any delusions that all my years of working have proven fruitless - mainly because I've been earning unsustainable wages the whole time and while I lived frugally it still hasn't been enough to build up any savings. So much for that whole notion that any amount of money is better than none except perhaps if it's a matter of life and death and even then - if it's down to working just to feed one's self with little left for anything else then one really needs to re-evaluate whether or not they'd fair out better just putting on a back pack and living the life of a vagabond. While that might be appealing to some it certainly isn't for most people.
Sadly, there's less jobs paying enough to live on and no amount of working overtime is going to change that. It's been this way for decades and the socioeconomic engineers seem bound and determined to speed up their course of action of winding it all down. If there was any doubt that I should've taken a similar path as Daniel Suelo (and others like him) it's since been extinguished. That guy was determined to live freely and being a wage slave to anyone (including himself) wasn't an option. Good for him. With the way things are going others will likely come to this conclusion.
While the false left right paradigm has been building up over the years it's especially bad now. What's termed "leftists" now has become intolerant of anyone it deems as right wing which would include many that identify as left of center. On the other side you have the hardcore evangelical Christian zealots (not to be confused with all Christians) clinging on to every new form of fear porn that becomes vouge. It's quite disheartening. It's no wonder more people are just keeping to themselves nowadays with the whole plandemic only speeding it up. It's easier to not sympathize with a society that's less interactive with one another and adheres to ideologies inharmonious with the Tao so to speak and that's as applicable to the leftists as it is to those that lean more to the right end of the political spectrum.
So now with the closing cliches ....
I bid everyone a farewell. Enjoy life as much as possible and while I wouldn't recommend anyone to stick their head in the sand (like an ostrich) - pretending all is well in this world it's best to slow down and occasionally stop to smell the roses. ☕ 🥧
Today is the 21st of December - the winter solstice. It's a time of celebration be it with family,friends,and I would say community but unfortunately there's not much of that left nowadays. All the same the holidays are here whether it's Hanukkah if you're Jewish or Christmas if you're a Christian even if it's just culturally so. Christmas is my favorite holiday due to it being in winter and the fact it's an amalgamation of older traditions (mainly European and to a lesser degree Persian). I enjoy the cool breeze as I'm walking to my favorite coffee shop,the smell of coffee brewing,and the smiles and laughter of those I cherish most only makes this holiday all the better. While such times aren't as numerous as they once were I appreciate being with those special to me.

One particular Christmas season that's most memorable was when I was still in high school. Not that the Christmases prior to that one weren't good but this one really struck a chord. I think some of it's due to the fact I was at an age where I was coming into a sense of independence and having a girlfriend that really meant something to me. I remember sitting in the back of a Chevy Blazer one evening when a song came on that from that moment on was "our" song. It was when our hands first touched. It was magical for me .... and probably her as well. It was a beautiful time both personally and the fact that it was a better era. That might seem clique to say but it's true. The overall culture was better and that was reflected in the music and fashion.This was of course before hip hop and rap regularly played on the radio.
Modern "culture" has digressed and there's no point denying it. It's getting uglier out here by the minute. I could go into detail but I probably won't. One day I might. I have my views and know what I know. I'm not exactly p.c. and that's a okay with me but probably not with most people and all I have to say to that is - oh well. They need to heal and deal. For a long time I cared too much what others thought and while it does matter to some degree seeing all the decay that's taken place over the years (and the overall attitudes and lifestyles of most people) just proves that I overvalued their opinions. Most of the vileness in people is the result of decades of social engineering. We've been led to reject the wisdom that the ancients had accumulated over the ages and while at first it seemed "progressive" and fun the results have proven disastrous. The ancients had their guidelines for a reason. It worked. What we're doing out here isn't. Their rules or better yet - guidelines were for the benefit of society as well as the individual. It held the communities together which is what allowed people the extra time needed to gather their thoughts and apply them in experimental ways and not just in their daily routines such as farming,fishing,and etc.
Most people often dismiss the ancients as being superstitious but new research supports some of those beliefs especially in regards to the value of a woman's youth and virginity. It was deemed ideal as far as rearing children goes and apparently science agrees. Even if telemetry hasn't been proven in humans there's still the case of micochrimerism. Women absorb the d.n.a. they share with babies they're pregnant with and it's passed on to other children she'll have whether with the same man she had children with before or the children of any other men. So think about this for a minute. There's a reason with the ancients were adamant about not breeding with women that weren't virgins and it wasn't simply to make bonding with this woman easier. In other words - if Mike has a child with Stephanie and Stephanie already has children with Bill and Fred then Bill and Fred are essentially d.n.a. donors to Mike's child with Stephanie.Think about that for a minute.
This of course opens up a whole can of worms. Since we know what we're doing as a society doesn't work then how do we go about implementing the knowledge of the ancients and making it work for us? Well ..... it won't fair out well trying to force the genders to live in accordance to their natural roles and placing these stricter guidelines on people's lives as the damage is already done and likewise chaos would surely ensue.
It's implementation will have to be gradual and in stages. Ideally it would take place by forming segregated communities where children could be reared in a more harmonious manner as the wisdom of the ancients intended. It's likely those playing the parental roles and such will have to live double lives - due to the fact that they're not of such character having been raised in such decadence themselves. This seems extreme and almost impossible to implement and its not even a well thought out concept on my part.
As for now all anyone can do is make the best of life and work on themselves. Not enough people have the insight to see how screwed up everything is (and on so many levels) and for those that do many tend to have a skewed solution on how to go about "fixing" it - whether it's the s.j.w. p.c. types on the left or the evangelical Christians on the right. Neither is a viable solution and would only lead humanity backwards.
I've long since given up the illusion that marriage and long term romantic relationships were for me. I enjoy having friends and spending time with them - quality over quantity of course but that doesn't mean I'm a loner. I'm just not as social as I used to be. Not sure how much of that is due to the excess distraction of such devices like a mobile phone,tablet,a computers,and etc. All I know is that I feel less a part of this society each passing year. I'm not feeling suicidal or anything but ..... none of this makes sense. The lack of a real sense of community has been on the wain for decades but it really seemed to pick up pace in the past decade.
So with that I bid everyone Seasons Greetings and a farewell .... for this year at least. Remember to appreciate what you have and enjoy it to the fullest because life is short even if you live for a hundred years. Excess junk in your life will only weigh you down and less truly is more.

It's like a drawing in. A slowing down. A cocooning. Less socializing. Less interest in what's going on outside one's own surroundings and it's happening not just on a personal level but a collective one as well. I've noticed it and so have the few people that I still interact with on a somewhat regular basis.
What's the cause? Mainly high speed internet that can easily be accessed via smart phones,tablets,Google Home,Amazon Echo,and of course computers. I wrote about this in my last posting but social changes has increased significantly since then and that was just a few years ago. It's become quite noticeable in my own current demographic domain. The Hispanic population has grown by leaps and bounds and it's now common to hear Spanish spoken on a regular basis. In addition to that blight now claims the bulk of the towns in my area. It's not that I didn't see the handwriting on the wall it's just now it's so apparent.
Change has always been in the air but it's become too hard to ignore. On a personal level - I've lost loved ones - one that I was in regular contact with and one that I wasn't. I'm talking about my dad that past away this past May and my grandmother that passed away in late August. It's sad. Not just because they were family and I knew them on a personal level but because they were born and grew up in more intact societies. Their numbers are quickly dwindling. It's bizarre because the man I most admired growing up is no longer here and my grandmother who was the embodiment of what it means to be a real lady (very nurturing and thought of others before herself) is now gone. While that's just how it goes and part of the cycle of life it still doesn't mean there's not an empty space in your life whenever they're gone.
"Love is like a flower, even the most beautiful kind dies." - Till Lindemann
Just observing one's surroundings and it's quite apparent that things are coming to a close and what's in store for me individually and for society at large is anyone's guess but it looks pretty bleak. When you turn on the radio what little new "music" playing is utterly atrocious - lacking any real forethought or talent. This isn't just me getting older either. It's definitely digressed and I've noticed the same in fashion or rather - the lack of it. Not sure if these are signs of a social collapse or something much worse - leading to a stone age or the opposite - a technocracy. It's depressing if you think about it too much but I'm not one to stick my head in the sand and pretend everything is okay.
So while I'm not backtracking on my disdain for the positive thinking movement and trying to convince myself that everything is hunky dory I just can't dwell on the negativity. It's too much. When things weren't this degraded both socially and economically it was easier to ponder the likely gloom and doom of it all but as we draw nearer to that probability the overwhelming realization that that's our possible fate is a bit much for me to stomach. 😕 This used to be a wonderful country as did most other countries but decades of social engineering, diversity, and fiat currency has changed that. It might be deemed offensive for some to accept but it doesn't make it untrue.
So to bring this posting to a close - my aim is to focus on more upbeat topics as much as possible as well as my adventures in this game called life. 😉
