Trans what? Transmission? Oh, that trans!

Transgender!

T.J. Rockford

  We as in a human civilized species have come a long way from where we had started! With any luck our future possible president won't drag us back to the stone ages where segregation was an accepted practice! Or where being gay was a close held secret, never mind speaking words such as transgender! 

  Speaking for myself over the years I have become very open to the ways of the world and the difference among each, and every individual, whether of a persons skin color being more vibrant then my bland white, Or how about a persons genetic make up? Should that be mine to judge? 

  I have come to realize things aren't as, cut and dry, as some would like you to believe! As was the way of the era I had grown up in through the 70's and 80's As it was really the time of revelations being made or at least in the works!

  I had grown up at a time where the generation before me still held their strong beliefs towards every type of issue that is nowadays no longer issue's but more like the way of life, and how I feel life should be! Or at least a growing number of us!

  I believe if two people love each other no matter what their gender, Race, Religion, Or planet they hail from, god bless em'! All the best because if two people can come together and find a form of enlightenment with one and other have at it! 

  I'm personally jealous of all that are free enough to not be ashamed of who, or what they are, and are able to find happiness! 

  As I mentioned the era I had grown up in, with the type of so called "family values," with Ronald Reagan as president and his beloved wife Nancy, and her die hard commitment to re-establishing what family values were supposed to be all about according to her! 

  If I recall correctly most of those values sure didn't hit topics of gay pride or transgender value's!

I do know she sure did ruin what was, and should of been on t.v.! 

  Nancy was pretty much stuck on what she considered the all American Christian Values! No drinking, deadly against drugs, Sex of any kind was a topic shoved somewhere in the closet probably right beside all the gay people hiding in there as well!

  It to me was a tough time considering during those times in the early and mid 80's I was a teenager, and I was to young to really enjoy any of that free love fucking hippie shit from the 70's! (Sid Vicious famous saying) and we were tossed right into a state of identity confusion!

  Clothing style's were way wacked out! Hair style's I won't even go there because I just learned a few years ago a mullet wasn't cool!

  Never mind having feelings or an identity issue that you couldn't, or were to ashamed to share! Sure there were particular areas where things were a bit more open to the gay community such as San Francisco! But then again you have to remember this was the time of Aids being an epidemic and we were thought to believe it was due to the gay community!

  I actually was directly impacted and affected by the fact I had a male gay cousin that passed to Aids! So I understand and felt the need I had to rethink my ways of being brought up, and what is right, wrong, or just isn't anybody else's business! Because I consider it all to be the way of LIFE!

  I wish I could of found what so many others have, and that is being comfortable in your own skin! 

  I am not saying I'm gay, though if I were it would be no difference. Because of the way I was brought up I'm like ashamed of everything!

  I'm told I'm a good looking guy,and yes I've had this said to me by both men and women! Sexually I prefer women though I'm terrible at any kind of beginning interactions with them! In all honesty I would be better off as a gay man just because of this wicked anxiety and awkwardness I have with my opposite sex! 

  So needless to say at 46 I still haven't been fortunate enough to achieve what so many others have that are comfortable in their own skin have, And that is finding true love!

  

  I have been married and do have grown children but it was a marriage due to circumstance! Yup a pregnant circumstance! I was brought up in that era where you should do the right thing despite what your heart might want, or need!

  My own parents stayed together until my sister and I were grown and gone before finally divorcing due to falling out of love, but felt committed to staying together for the family!  

  I look at them and all the years of loved missed, lost, wasted I dunno? I do know I have always been a creature that has always had this burning desire to find true love and share these times I envision of sailing to beautiful places and sharing experiences while embracing someone in a sunset you wished would last forever! Even a nice glass of wine sitting in utter silence with another but being able to feel that word love!

  With all these views of how people imagine the world should be according to their thoughts and ideas or religious beliefs, All I can see is how these people have wasted their live's much like my mother and father, and even myself! 

  Over the years I have had a reawakening and I see things through a clear pair of glasses instead of glasses of many colors!

  I see people that I know in my heart, that even though they may have features that say they look like their supposed to be a certain way, by no means at all should they be, in mind, heart, or physical appearance!

  For those people that maybe can't afford the surgery, Or for what ever reasons, I do believe everyone should have what we all have, or at least should have, and this is dignity! Such as the dignity to use a restroom that properly defines who you are! Imagine a world  where you can use a facility without being embarrassed or ashamed of where and who you are!

  I heard this tape of a women on a rant at a Target store that had just opened a transgender bathroom. This women was on a rip roaring tear of saying things like these men are perverts! Which she of course had to stereotype it to it just being a mans issue! 

  This woman had gone on and on of this is why America is failing, and it's the devil's work! When in all reality she is the reason this country is failing and she sounded more like the demon she was spewing on about! She is stuck wearing a pair of colored lens glasses that should have been changed way before now!

  We cannot change our inner soul, the machine that makes us who we are! We can try to fake our way through our existence by everyday living the same lie, because of others and fears of acceptance! 

  Or of the feeling of needing to do what is the right thing according to the way we were programmed at a young age! In which it only destroys out inner soul, and that machine of which who we are starts to break down under the crushing weight and it's not only an identity that gets lost in time and space, but a real life human being that is capable of loving and capable of being loved! It is not what we are that define's us, But more like who we are and what we're able to become!  

  It seems to me it would be just more senseless loss, Like the loss of a love that this world has so blindly used, abused, and wasted on self righteous behaviors! We have substituted the word love for doing a good deed! Maybe we should start a new word "Transcumbobulated!" Maybe this is where most of the world is stuck in!

  Two more words that start with "trans" is "Transfusion" and "Transformation!" Both of these words describe what this world is in serious need of! And in countless way's!

                                                                                  

Climate change? Start with an attitude change!

ATTITUDE CHANGE!

T.J. Rockford

  As we're all aware of we are running into some serious climate changes on the way even if we actually start doing something about it now!

 So doing something about it really needs to start wouldn't you say? Yes most governments have jumped on board and agreed that there is an issue and they are all going to start working on lowering certain type's of emissions which is great! 

  In my personal opinion it's way to little and way to late, But what can we do? Stop everything and then what? 

  I live in a town that has had a recycling program at our "transfer station" (Fancy name for dump) for quite a very long time now, so that's all good and great! It makes everyone feel like their doing their share in saving the planet, plus it saves the town a bit of cash which trickles down to us in savings!

  The problem is it's costly to recycle and we're still adding to the pollution issue when going through the recycling process! But it's a lot less then not doing it so it does help to an extent!

  I'm a very concerned person about climate issue's and at time's wish I could do a lot more than I do! though I'm like many and kind of limited to going green because of the cost! Sadly it's not cheap doing the right thing for the world!

  The one thing I'm into is gardening and have been for several years now! I have a good sized road side garden that needless to say is the hardest type to keep maintained and keep thriving due to where I live.

  Here in the state of Maine we get snow in the winter and with the location of my garden it takes a beating from the plow trucks flying by and spraying snow 15 feet through the air!

  So when the roads get sanded down and whatever they mix with the sand nowadays to help melt the snow "which I think is some kind of calcium?" It covers all of my shrubbery and perennials. So come spring time it's an utter mess to get back up to par, But I do faithfully every year!

  I live in a rural area where I have around 15 neighbors up and down the road and all the people have been very grateful for what I have done with the area because all that was there before when I first bought the house was an old stockade fence! 

  So when I started this endeavor I ripped down this pretty good length of fence that was blocking a pretty nice view of the lake I live on! 

  So it really opened the place up and at the same time made it look nice with all the flowers and shrubbery I've added over the years! Which I don't mind doing as I really enjoy the gardening part! 

  

 I've always had a pretty good green thumb which could be contributed to the fact in my youth I enjoyed rockin' the ganj! Which in turn I grew to my particular desire and seemed to have a particular knack at! Which is a whole different story so onward we go!

  The point being every year I buy a ton of annual flowers to fill in all the voids and add some really nice color!

  Plus it's great for the environment! The bee's, bird's, butterflies, Etc, and even us!

  The problem I have always had is when buying all these flowers and what not I end up with a zillion plastic carrying flats and all the plastic pots everything is grown in!

  The problem with these items are they are not recyclable! So into the trash the go! And man alive that irks me six ways of Sunday!

\

   For the last week now here in the Vacationland area the weather has finally hit that time of year so we can start planting stuff once again! 

  Which true to form and fashion I always get an early jump to getting stuff going in the ground, which bugs a few of my neighbors because I always beat them to the punch! and at the same time kinda makes them feel like they have to start making their places look nice as well! Which I think a few dread having to do this kind of thing, but they feel they must keep up like a competition!

  So that's another reason why I don't mind doing this kind of thing because I help to enthuse others to help with supplying some much needed environmental friendly life, for other life!

  Now this is where the story takes a turn to my dismay! I have been going to a certain greenery for a few years now and have always enjoyed the huge stock and variety of everything they have which is a lot!

  Well before I had started going to this place I use to got to another much smaller business that was run by this real old very nice gentlemen!

  He had passed away a couple of years ago at the age of 87 which was a great loss! He had started to run this small greenery when he retired from his real world profession and did so right up to the day he passed,  faithfully!

  I had very good relation's with this man because he was much like myself, real and down to earth! 

  He didn't run this place like a business, but more like a hobby which he enjoyed greatly! 

  He was doing what he enjoyed and at the same time made a little extra money and was helping make the world look a little better and be a little healthier!

  I had gotten in the habit of always returning all the flats and plant containers when I had finished getting everything in the ground. Which worked out good for him by saving a few bucks on buying more! and me for not liking to have to throw this stuff in the trash!

  Well since he's gone now and I've started going to this other much larger place I've had to do exactly what I don't like having to do, by throwing these plastic containers out. 

  With this nursery being larger they have a very big following, and every time I go there it's very busy and I haven't really had a chance to pin one person down and ask about these container items, until just the other day and it really didn't go to smoothly!

  For some reason I envision the type of people that would own and operate a place such as this as being something like me and the older gentlemen I use to deal with!

Down to earth and environmentally aware, or at least environmentally conscience! I mean heck your dealing with the one of the two main ingredient's that makes this world survive!

  So anyway I got my big chance to ask! I actually had been there the day before so I happened to have a small stack of some containers, So on my return trip I had them in hand and brought them in with me.

  I had went around and picked up all the stuff I had planned on buying and proceeded to the check out and once there I asked this younger guy running the register if by chance they took back their small flower containers? which as I said I had them with me in hand, He just looked at me like I had two heads! like there was something wrong with me!

  He had no idea what to say so he blats out across the store to this other women that happened to be the owners wife and she came over and grabs them like it's this big hassle, and very rudely say's NO we usually don't! and just walks away with them!

  I'm like kinda dumbfounded trying to collect some sort of thought to what just happened? when this elderly lady standing beside me in line say's gee'z I thought that was very good of you!

  The only thing I could come up with to say in this very disturbed state of mind I was in was,Yeah reduce, reuse, recycle isn't that the slogan the world has been telling us all? 

 Thankfully she said yes your right we should! Which I'm pretty sure she was saying because of the bewildered look in my being!

  So as I was leaving in my shocked state of confusion a few things were zipping through my mind as to why?

  Why wouldn't they want these things back? It would save some cash on buying new, Plus your a business selling things that are essential for the planet wouldn't you think these type people are some kind of environmentally friendly people?

  I'm assuming the answer is no their not! No they don't care about the cash nor the environment! 

  When I was leaving I was thinking are they just a bunch of capitalist mongers!

  But heck their not really even that because if they were they would want the containers back! I mean really I had already paid for them in the purchase of the flowers the first time around so it's not like I was getting a discount!

  What's with the attitude I got when trying to do what I would thought a nice gesture! or at the very least a good appreciative deed? 

  Wasn't really expecting a "thanks for your garbage pal beat it!" There was nothing wrong with the container's, they were as is when I bought them! 

  So I guess I've learned a lesson! First not all people running a garden nursery are environmentally friendly, Or for that matter friendly at all!

  Number two people really need to start changing their attitudes towards the climate issue because it's not a matter of if it's going to happen? cause I hate to break it to everyone, it's already started!

  And until people get this sunk into their heads, it's about to get really shitty! And get the I wish I "HAD" done something about it when I had the chance stupid mentality out of their heads and get with the program now! 

  The ATTITUDE CHANGE needs to start now! There's already a water shortage in places around this world that's seriously on their way to  a catastrophic level for people! And then we have people that don't know these fact's because it's not affecting them yet! Or the other few that thinks their being lied to, but that's because their idiot's

  With every action people do there's an equal and opposite reaction! and so far it's all been bad! We really need to change this attitude that if we just don't think about it, it isn't happening!

  I really have a hard time believing there isn't more people out there as nervous as me about what's happening right now! I just don't get it? 

  I sure hope my message may find a few and those few actually take heed to what is truly going on because in a very short time things could be going in a direction they are nowhere near ready for, even though there's been plenty of warning!

  Attitude is the key to changing! So it's up to each and every person on this planet to take action! Though I know this will never happen because people have this attitude that someone else will take care of all these problems!

  Some think their governments will fix everything and make it all fine and better again!

  they've been these type people that have been so reliant on the system because it's always taken care of them that it's like their brainwashed into a false existence!

   No body is coming to the rescue to save us! This isn't going to happen! I think the one thing that governments around the world should start doing to make people more aware of how serious this is, and that it's not some whacked out conspiracy theory! is to run a new slogan stating something like "ATTITUDE CHANGE BEFORE CLIMATE CHANGE!"

  Even though I'm fully aware everything we start doing now is probably to little to late hopefully in this slogan it will bring people too actually take an involvement into trying to do something, which with any luck will help! 

  

  With this final note as I was stating about the water shortage, I urge you to follow my blog as I will be discussing the locations in eminent peril right now!

  I will also be talking of locations that are in the high risk factor for their water sheds disappearing completely if things are not addressed immediately! 

  So please adjust your attitude and follow along as I discuss the greatest things affecting the planet, and it's inhabitants here and now, in the next up and coming blog!

Until then stay strong in your convictions and hopefully they will rub off on the person next to you!

  One more quick note, If any type nursery were actually environmentally friendly and were trying to do a part in the battle of plastics they would be using environmentally friendly bio products such as below!

  There are several types on the market though due to cost a lot of nurseries don't use these type things for fear people won't want to pay the extra cost! Which is actually not to extreme!

  The sad fact to the matter is the actual cost we will all be paying shortly will be way greater then a few bucks!

  Attitude starts now! If you may encounter the same situation as myself try making a suggestion to your local favorite place you shop about changing to one of the many type products on the market today! Even a true capitalist will probably entertain the idea of switching because it's hard to make money when there's no world left to make money off of! All the best, and Good luck!

Mr. Barron I presume?

Mr. Barron I presume?

T.J.Rockford

Ok I know does anybody really care? Well to sum that question up I would say yes! If you really were searching for an honest no nonsense type of average Joe for the White House you should care!

  This story came out last week of Trump taken and making calls as his own publicist under different names such as John Barron, And John Miller and most Trump supporters barely batted an eye! I think they feel as though any type article that is negative is just a way for media outlets to slander their God like man child!

  I honestly found all of the news of Trump pretending to be someone else about right up to par!

I mean really I can't be the only one that can see through his narcissism? I swear every time I listen to him speak whether for his candidacy or just for various news reasons over the years he's always done this rooster clucking.

  I personally felt like he was hiding something, or had some kind of secret that he was just itching to share but held it back by his eerie tight lipped grimace he has!

 Was he ever nervous of someone finding out about his child like behavior of bragging himself up? I seriously doubt it! A narcissist is the last to know their actually narcissistic! If it's anything I've learned by watching rich people and their eccentric behavior they could care less of what the common rift raft such as myself would think so blah!

  Is it funny that he had done these crazy antics? Well to me and maybe you, yeah! Funny in the way I think he has some serious issues! and it truly makes me nervous of someone doing these type things actually having a possibility of being the leader of the free world! 

  But again his supporters are completely un-phased by these accusations because, Well I could go into a rant at about this point but I think I'll just leave it at because! I'm sure or at least I hope I'm sure anyone with any sense's out there is catching what I'm throwing about the "because reason!" I hope!

  I have to say this whole Presidential race has really opened my eye's and has shown me a side of America that has baffled, sickened, wondered, confused, enlightened, astounded, and hurt my views on how I thought the majority of this country cares of their fellow human beings!

  Along comes this guy that people enjoyed watching on this reality t.v. show and starts throwing around a bunch of crazy talk and I see half of America jump on board with his half witted notions and yeah, it really makes me wonder! 

  I'm going to elaborate my reasons why! and my feelings about why I think there's a problem with all of these things he says!

  First off I'm a kind of guy that doesn't perceive myself like the way other people see me as! I'm 6' 2" tall around 200 pounds not fat by any means, but I don't look at myself as a big kinda of guy! though I am, and I know this because of how people look at me!

  I've had police officers tell me this straight up and added stuff like 'Well you are a pretty big scary guy!" Nice huh! 

  Then on top of my bigness I had to add a bunch of tattoos in my younger days so that helped to the creation of me being scary! So now I'm big and scary! 

  In all honesty I've never looked at myself as any of this, Nor have I ever used any of my appearance to gain myself status in any which way! The one thing I can tell you, because of my big and scariness it has opened my way of thinking because of how people treat me without knowing me in any capacity! 

  I in more then one instance have been treated unfairly just because of the facts I'm disliked because of appearance alone! Believe this or not it's the stone cold truth! and I've heard statements from lawyers saying things like well it's your word against theirs and well look at you! So yeah based on appearance I stand no chance in certain things in life, which is disgusting!

  It has giving me a complex that words can not describe, because in all my true form and fashion I'm a very nice mild mannered person! I love animals and gardening, I love being on the ocean particularly sailing! I care for humanity more then humans care for themselves! And on the other hand I hate humans with a passion because of their ways of looking at their fellow humans! All because I'm big and scary!

  I own a home bought and paid for on a lake in Maine. In this particular spot we have an association which consists of only six home's. 

 I am hated by all but one! I have been vilified and have had situations that have ended up in court because of peoples dislike of me so much that they have conspired and gone out of their way to try and forcing me to move! Crazy as this may sound it's sadly very true! All due to the fact these people fear me by looks alone! 

  I have never said a mean or harmful word to anyone! I do nothing out of the ordinary,  I actually have a large flower garden I had personally put in and maintain meticulously through the years! I'm very concerned about the maintenance and appearance of my yard and home!

  After one of our yearly association meetings and I left all the other members actually sat around and discussed the reasons why they dislike me, which they stated was because I am big and scary! I was told this by the one, and only one neighbor that I actually get along with!

  I should state that two of the six homes are owned by some gay gentlemen if this helps put it into perspective! It's like a reversal hate crime! I should point out that all the court case's have led nowhere for them as I am still here! But it has been costly! which was their goal in hopes I would just cave and say this isn't worth it! I say quite frequently in my articles that you must stay strong in your convictions and this is why I'm still here! Crazy as this may sound it's all very true! What's even crazier is the fact I cannot do a thing about it legally! This is what I was told by my lawyer! But if I was gay, black, female, or anything besides boringly normal, maybe typical or average is a better word, and white I could sue the shit out of this place! Big and scary might get you into the Hell's Angel's! but if your big, scary and timid your screwed!

  So when I see how these Trump supporters jump on the train of his dislikes of people it affects me in a very negative way! It seems to me that humans should have their moral's compass more aligned by this time in our evolution! and I don't see this within his supporters or elsewhere for that matter! All I see is their hurt turn into hate! and in turn that hurt's me!

  And then we see these stories of the man of steel himself acting like he's someone else on the phone talking himself up! If you think this is some kind of  just fun, and silliness, well that's fine for a clown! not for the leader of the free world! 

  There's a movie I had seen a while back on Netflix or the like, where this guy that was far from being the sharpest knife in the drawer goes back in time by accident, and he end's up in this future America where everyone is just plain dumb! and he turns out being the smartest guy in the world!

  People somehow had started going backwards on the intelligence scale due to sitting in front of the t.v. playing video games all the time instead of wanting or having any desire to learn!

  They were so stupid and couldn't figure out why the world crops were dying because they we're giving everything an extra boost by watering all the crops with Gatorade instead of water!

  So once this under average guy see's what their doing and changes their Gatorade idea back to water, everything starts growing again! He ends up being the smartest guy in the world and save's humanity! 

Can you see where I'm going with this story? Because this is the impression I've been getting lately with the way things have been going!

   Truthfully it scare's me! Trump being a weirdo on the phone didn't come as a surprise to me at all! As a matter of fact I think I already knew he was doing things like this all the time in my mind! I mean really have you ever actually listened to him talk? All through the years he always said things in a manner that was like he was hiding something. I'm having a hard time trying to explain what it actually is! It's just a certain way he try's to speak but the look on his face and his mouth are like saying something else! 

  Sure he's far from the first guy running for office, or even was in office that had some whacked out behaviors! FDR and his dress wearing fetish, Abraham Lincoln use to cuddle and spoon with men at night when he slept, Kennedy and Clinton were womanizer's! Does any of these make it right? Well I guess it depends on where you place your own personal moral compass! 

  This country had won it's independence through deceit, lies, and battles! Do you really think the deceit and lies had ended then and there? Heck that's the foundation and pillars that has held Washington D.C. together since the beginning! Trump would fit right in like a square block in a square hole! I can envision him and Putin prank calling each other! I can envision him making fun of president Xi from China and calling him names kind of like the way he regards the Mexican people of being a lesser status in his off color comments! 

  He say's he'll change and become Presidential though if you look at his track record in business you will find all of his bankruptcies transpired while he was the  boss, the CEO, the man in charge of these business's! He would do what he wanted while ignoring his advisers that actually had a clue and railed em all! 
 The one thing he made money at was real estate, and owning property makes money, but it's different then say running a business such as a casino, or any of the other non-real estate business's he failed at! Making money by collecting rent, or making money by the sale of your name isn't like running a country!

 So will this happen if he makes it into the big seat as well? Points people might want to ponder because the money he'll be losing this time won't be just his! Or worse things could possibly transpire! and who will he listen to then as well? Maybe he'll just have a conversation with himself and iron it all out! Oh know it's Mr. Barron I mean Miller! Crap! who am I? 

  Just throwing out some more tid-bit's of factual information for those that choose to believe! Or maybe just want to know!

  Remember to stay strong with your convictions because if not you who will?

Why America is failing!

WHY IS AMERICA FAILING?

For those of us that have been staying on top of the news within our military we have all heard the same story of staff shortages, and parts shortages.

  

 If  you look into the size of our military it has shrunk to sizes comparable to WWII! Which if you didn't realize was small comparable to population sizes of nowadays!

  Although we have downsized our military we have modernized it at the same time, which allows us to utilize other methods instead of risking human lives! Though it still leaves shortages in areas we really can't afford!

  We operate drones from all over the planet, and this is one way we have changed the playing field!

  We are constantly trying to make more advanced military equipment that requires less and less human interactions, So this leaves us with a human shortfall! Like who's around to fix the broken down high tech equipment?

  The one thing I have been witnessing lately is military personal, mainly Air Force personal, such as mechanics and pilot's coming forward and describing deplorable conditions! Lack of parts, not enough operational air craft available, and longer work days. Things such as this I've been hearing constantly and it is sickening!

  I'll tell you what it does, it makes me mad! It make's me mad in two ways, first It makes me mad that I'm hearing of all this belly aching! There was a time when our military use to be the toughest most fearful on the planet! 
  Well now all I hear is a bunch of whining cry babies! I hear people say they never get to see their families but only on the weekends! Well holy hell poor you! Most working class Americans even have to work on the weekends to get by! yet less get ahead!

  Buckle the hell up armed forces! If I was in charge and I witnessed all this crying on the news I would be furious! Just knowing the whole world is seeing our military personal crying because they only get to see their kids on the weekends! Be thankful you have a job and you can at least enjoy weekends with your family! Most Chinese that have young kids send them to family members because their working all the time! If their lucky they get to visit their children a couple times a year! Yes I said YEAR!

  We see the unemployment rate in Europe at an all time epic high of 50% and here we have our military personal crying because they only have weekends off! It's disgusting!

  Not only is it disgusting from an employment point of view it's disgusting from a defensive point of view! I can see all our foe's abroad looking at a system that is falling apart and breaking down!

 It's shameful beyond words! Where did the tough guy ever go? When did our armed forces turn into a bunch of belly achers and whiners? I get it totally and I understand that are men and women haven't been listened to by our own government. How insane is that when your own Gov't knows these parts and mechanical issue's and does nothing! Obama trying to make himself look good in some twisted way has done nothing but failed our country and set us back years!  

  Man alive! we all know that there needs to be some serious changes to our country! but come on! Publicize to the whole world how our military is going down the crapper due to no parts and long hours! Nice! Makes us look real good! I can see our enemies now, making a strategic plan to invade while the time is prime for the pickings!

  When did we become such a bunch of pussies? I know I never did any kind of crying about work when I was the same age as these people! I was grateful to be working period! Hell I worked 12 hour days 7 days a week for years at a time in my life and never cried like these people! 

 Number two I see enough bullshit with our defense issues, such as the F-35 Trillion dollar piece of garbage! Here we have Russia and China already working on 6th and 7th generation fighter jets plans! and we can't even get our 5th generation pile of crap to work! Yes, we need some changes!

  One thing we do need to do is beef up our mechanical personal to make our flying force better operationally wise! Meaning YES we need more trained personal! and NO MORE SCAVENGING FOR PARTS! If we can't make new aircraft we need to have new parts to operate our stockpile! End of story! 

  And the biggest thing of all is NO MORE CRYING! Makes us all look weak! Personally I'm not weak so speak for yourself! For the love of God STOP THIS! Please to all our service men and women I love you to death! I appreciate all you've done and sacrificed! We all know Obama has put America in a terrible position with slashing our military man power!  How he thinks he's done good is beyond me and a huge portion of America as well! So please trust me when I say we already know!
  But If you have feelings of being overworked, quit! and try the real working force! Try seeing if that's any better! I think you would find the working force of outside the military will be a touch more demanding! Welcome to the real world!

  It is sickening to see our forces having to steal parts or having to cannibalize from other jets in order to get a small portion of other jets operational! How can no one see this is no good? How can we have let this happen? The staple of what makes America what we are suppose to be, A world leader! and a world leader because of force! When we don't have the force how can we lead?

   I know the times are changing and there is a different breed of people because of how society is changing. People need to see things from outside their own world like in other countries and then you will see why America is starting to take a spiral out of control. 
  Unfortunately these other countries like communist China are the areas that don't tolerate such things to be said or happen! I know that's why America is different, But look at the difference! It's in a bad way hurting us!

  America is different because we have our freedoms, such as freedom of speech! unlike socialist countries where everything in the media is state run so it's all censored so things like crying about working to many hours and not having enough parts to fix the jet's never get out to the world! 
  I have to say maybe things like what our servicemen and women are saying should be listened to but not so much plastered all over every media outlet on the planet! Because yes it makes us look bad! Yes I know these are things that needs to be addressed but right now with all of America's issues and the craziness going on we are on our way to some very tough times!

  If things in our country don't start turning around I could see people mad enough to want to do something that would have some severe consequences! Such as trying to over throw the government!

  Before I go further I want to share a well known bit of world history! When America broke free from the tyranny of a king ruler from over seas the whole point was to gain our independence and have certain freedoms and rights, escape high colony taxation, things that just were not right!
  
 Well we did break free! and we did implement rights of freedom, But if you look through history from everywhere around the world this type thing has happened time. and time again! People got sick of how things were going and finally overthrew their government, Kings, Tsar's, Dictator's, Military ruler's, all the wrong doings!
  This is where the problem with America lies! We are still a somewhat young country although we are starting to feel the pains from our overbearing government! and a government that lies to us! and is deceiving! and seems to make their agenda a priority more so then the people's want;s and needs! people are fed up! 
 So yes I could see the beginnings of something not so good happening if we can't get our own government back on board to what it's all about!

  I feel as though our government is aware of this and have thought of this possibility as well and this is why we have certain rights pretty much taken away from us! Rights like privacy! You can count that one gone! 
  If you haven't noticed that all Americas local and state authorities are all using military equipment now! They have the heavy armament vehicles, they practice all the military style tactics, and they say stuff like privilege instead of rights! That's scary! It's scary that you cannot sit in your own home and not have to worry if your own government may be listening in on your every conversation!
  All they have to say is you were a person of interest! That easy! So who knows maybe we are seeing the beginning of the end for our young country! I hope not! But I know we the people need to get back what has been taking away, or you mind as well wrap the constitution up and throw it in the safe because it's been riddled with so many types of revisions that it's going to be useless real soon!

  So without to much pressure on anyone I would really be doing your homework on this up and coming presidential race! Trump really makes me nervous! Clinton really makes me nervous! But I'm afraid those will be the final two to actually make it the distance. 
  I have dug into as much info into both of them as I could find and honestly all I found is more to scare me! But that's me not you! Everyone is looking for different things in their lives! For my future, and more importantly my children's future, and my grand-kids future, I see no bright light in either candidate! 
 I won't bother you with details now, although in an up and coming issue the dirt will flow free and the choice for believing my words will be up to you!

  Of course everything I have mentioned of "Why America is Failing" in this short article is just a small and minute bit of the problem. Their is a very larger piece to the problem! Actually even a lot of little piece's as well! They are all things that really need to be addressed if we as a country are going to make it out and still intact!
So till then stay strong in your convictions because what matters to you is what matters,  period!

  

AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT!

Did you see a bright light?

The origin's of life has always been a fascinating subject for myself! Have you ever sat and wondered?

  

 Where did we come from? Was it divine creation? Or better yet, Divine intervention? from the creation from the Cosmos? How about the primordial soup theory? where we crawled from the sludge, and then evolved into several species of humans until the strongest finally won out!

  Personally I believe we are all here as a direct result of all the creations from the Cosmos! Through science and the study of our Universe we know that if not for all the wonders within our Universe we would not be here!

  We know that when a star, such as our sun explodes, it produces things! Things such as amino acids, the building blocks for the creation of life such as us! 

  Maybe our DNA is just a computer code generated by an alien life, and whoa la, here we are! 

Each and every idea is fascinating and  the concept has kept homo sapiens very busy since our short time here!

  More people have died on this planet due to the thought of one of these possibilities! Which is beliefs! The belief of something greater then us has brought all of this into existence! But the problem with this is, everyone seems to have their own idea of which God is the one and only almighty?

  If this planet hopes to ever gain a form of higher intelligence well, everyone is going to have to stop putting their beliefs in something that is the cause of so much death!
  I wouldn't recommend holding your breath for this to happen! Heck back in the 90's I had actually thought that this planet was just starting to come together on some sort of unity!
  Boy, how wrong I was! Because nowadays it looks as though we have gone backwards by about 35 years! The new cold war!
  And then we have the elections in process and Trump setting us back to the days of segregation. The talks of what to do about Muslims, and his obvious dislike of Mexicans. I truly feel like I've been teleported back in time to the 60's!

  Anyway the point of this story (Did you see a bright light?) Is about the new finding in science of what happens at the very first instance of  conception!
  The thing they have found, is when the sperm makes it's direct contact with the egg to be fertilized, they have witnessed a flash of light!
  A flash of light takes place at the very beginning of the creation of life being made! The very thought of this sends shivers throughout my body!

  The very first thing that came to me was the fact of all these people that have experienced a near death, or actual death and revival type situation, and some have claimed to see a "Flash of light!"
  The exact instance of our creation a flash of light is produced, and then at our final act, the end,
some witness another flash of light! How odd is that? Could there be a correlation? If no, why?

  Just maybe this bright light is a code scribbled within our DNA somewhere? and we do actually experience this when we part with our human shell! and then we go back to our beginning, which is pure energy!
  Pretty funny when you think of it like I just stated, about being made of energy! We humans are energy! Our core existence needs certain things to keep our energy charged. We need things such as sun light, and food, these are what we need to provide us with more energy, to keep our energy going!

  So the very beginning is what we'll call "The BIG BANG!" and the big bang happens at the creation of conception, when the two forms of energy meet, and boom the sparks fly! 
  Then nine months later a bigger form of energy is upon us in the world in the form of a human baby! This form of energy fly's through life until the energy starts wearing thin, and then we start our descent into what we'll call "The BIG CRUNCH!" and when this happens Bam! another flash of light as we leave our shell(bodies.) 
  Just like a hermit crab leaving it's shell. As the crab goes looking for a new home, So is our energy, off it goes to catch up with the rest of the Cosmos! 

  Which who knows, but that flash of light we see at death is actually not death, but instead we go right back into another instant creation! Just like a never ending cycle, Our death is really a rebirth! A paradox!

  Does this sound plausible? I'll tell you what, I like this theory a lot more then some of these notions out there! Those theories in which people are laying waste to the world all over their beliefs in religions!
  I've got an idea for a scientific challenge let's have these physicist at the Large Haldron Collider 
Take a sperm, and blast it out near light speed and smash it into an egg! 
  Who knows what could happen? The prophet Mohammed could appear! How great that would be so we could have him talk with these clowns from ISIS! 
  I can hear it now, with Mohammed saying "I didn't say kill off other people! I said cut your own head's off!" I'd pay money to see that documentary!

   The link at the bottom of this page is the article that talks about the "flash of light," scientist have witnessed at conception. 
  They say what cause's this flash of light, which I cannot recall? I believe it has to do with the elements from what sperm are made of, and what the egg is made of that actually cause's this so called flash of light.
  Of course this is really what is causing this! There is no divine or immaculate anything! Just plain old biology and chemistry at work!

  The problem is, the Universe is just like the chicken and egg scenario! What came first? Then was it divine intervention that brought life to the cosmos? Or just a fluke of chemistry and biology? It seems to me it's a crap shoot! Although on the religion end of it, and knowing my luck, there is a creator! and due to my disbelief I'll end up being cast into a burning pit of endless torture!
  On the flip side, I hate the thought of wasting my life on worrying of pleasing something and following some kind of religious guidelines for something that is unknown!
  Then again when we peer into our Universe there seems to be a whole slew of unknowns! And some of these unknowns we can actually physically see with our own eyes!
  
   A flash of light and the Universe was created! A flash of light at the very beginning of the conception of every human life! Even a flash of light at our death! 
  It seems like light is the common factor with everything! There is nothing faster that we know of then light speed, Although at the very beginning of the big bang  there was something that moved faster then the speed of light and that was the expansion of space! In a real amazingly quick moment space inflated to a size that would boggle your mind! So we won't even dive into this mystery and just stick to the light mystery!

  What is this correlation with life and light? I'm not sure if we will ever know? It seems as though we keep finding new and fascinating areas in science! especially within the Cosmos and Particle area! Maybe we just may find the answers, Possible by accident, Though the big question is what happens if we do find the answers to everything? Boy that would be a mess! So for now ponder these thoughts even if it's just to entertain your imagination! You may just may discover something new within yourself!
