The Forgotten Life, The Changing of LIfe Forever

Every generation has its fair share of changes.  These changes can vary from extreme, disastrous, Exciting, but most importantly all are historical, and life changing in some way.  Assassinations, Space Travel, Racial divides and reunions, Laws, Wars, Lies, Medical Discoveries, Animal Extinction, Our black President, all things have been part of our generations for the past 50+ years, and we sometimes have no idea of the magnitude of how they changed our lives. But the purpose of this blog is to shine on something that has changed life FOREVER.

We follow, we lead, we innovate, we create, and we communicate.....

Our days today as always, are limited... But the rush of our lives is driving us crazy.. It is only important to shine light on the way we have Forgotten Life, how we have no desire to look back historically and pinpoint what we are missing today, because we are so caught up in our current lives.

The development/invention/idea of the SOCIAL NETWORK has taken charge.  These two words, have changed the way we live, changed eating habits, attitudes, behavior, relationships, and most of all our moral, and self confidence.  
It has taken our lives and made it somethings we can no longer control, our communication skills are going down hill, and lives are now controlled by keystrokes, flashing cameras, and mouse clicks.  
More importantly the point here, is to simply remind the reader, that this is not completely such a bad thing, but that it has irreversibly changed our lives, and has allowed us to forget our past lifestyles.

  We have created a way to shorten the time between conversations, our work, and our leisure time as well.  As we spend more and more time on these networks of communication, we tend to shy away from  the things we truly enjoy doing.  As we begin to follow, more than lead in our lives.  I truly believe that the lives we share now, will continue into a path of future destruction of communication as we know it. (Maybe we will never have to talk again, computers will know what we want to say)!  Just food for thought, but isn't that what we have done in today's world, destroyed the way we are meant to communicate.  

  We no longer enjoy interpersonal communication, we as a society would shy away from that, according to recent polls.  We have shorter conversations, our language is worse off than ever before, and are more worried about what people are doing, instead of how and why they are doing these things.  Again, Im talking about the majority of people, not singling out anyone.  We no longer talk to one another about issues or problems, we share them to the world, allowing things to be manipulated and falsified as private information no longer exists. Most of all, we no longer value our relationships, our quality time, and personal feelings, as these networks have changed every aspect of life we grew up to knew.

  No longer are telephone calls relevant, we have replaced that with text messaging, no longer is reading the same, as we read manipulated text on the internet, no longer is that friend the same now they are a (FACEBOOK FRIEND), as you only communicate in person when you stumble across each other, but post wall posts every chance you get on their wall!

  Is this true for you, are you missing the times with nature, your family, your friends, your pets, your LIFE? Simply because you can't get off your phone, because you cannot stand to be without twitter for a few minutes, and those Facebook comments have you running back to check who's stalking you now? Or your to focused on how many friends you can get by simply clicking ACCEPT?

If so, don't feel bad, media, technology, and these social networks have affected the entire Globe...

  My main point of it all, is not to bash on the creation of such technology, or the way it has affected our society in such ways as I stated above; but to simply show the way our lives have changed for ever... We no longer value the true friendship, or relationship, but we act like we have a substitution in these new forms of communication.  

  This is just a friendly reminder, that nothing will ever take place of human to human, person to person, friend to friend, brother to brother, communication.  We will one day be reminded of the great importance of such simple word exchanges, hugs, emotions, that we cannot even see today.  As the world always re-roots its history, and we will always be dependent of each other, not IP address's, LIKE buttons, Tweets, or photos of each other.  

Hold Hands, and life will  once again be WHOLE!

Surviving the Times

So maybe it's time, maybe it's not, but if so Here i go, and if not here i don't! For starters, I'm a believer that the time here on earth is so precious. Its like having a photograph of some one who has passed or that is lost to you, in which when you look at the picture they feel as if they are still with you! Its the simple things in life that seem to always fade the quickest, always seeming to fall through the cracks in which our society has created! It's all the bad things that make you look pass the good things, the pure things in which life has created, what we have created has disturbed this process on how we think about each other, and how we perceive our everyday existence. Im not a firm religious believer, in a single God or maker of the universe * IM ABOUT TO LOOSE 99% of readers right here*, but im a believer that we must rely on ourselves as a whole, to conquer the everyday struggles that we have created, the things that we have in this dirty world. I know for a fact that, our socialization, allows us as people to be the way we are, the mindless, thinkers we are, the useless people to the future we are, the ones that will never change anything? I also know for a fact that only a small percentage will ever make it past the age of 45, because of many reasons in which we can't explain... I know for a fact that, some people do not live for the answer of one's self, but to only answer to others, and be mental slaves in the society we have created.. You see i believe that we are to blame for the world and all it's problems at the end of the day! The world is twisted, and sometimes unbelievable, Unexpected, and indeed cold heart'd!!!!------> Does this sound familiar??? 

Does this strike your mind to be odd, or to be different? If so leave the note... I mean it's only purposeful for one to think to leave this note, because most things aren't put in this type of dialogue! This is not the stuff you hear everyday, as for taking steps out side of the social logical limitation, that we still have in our country and in deed the world, is something that is RARELY attempted, by such a smart curious human race in which we claim to be! 

Have you ever wondered where you would be without these limitations? What you would believe? What you would be doing right now?

These are the questions that must be answered after your younger years, and instilled in your mind for your adulthood, this can be from parents, peers, or who ever else you came in contact with... During this young childhood socialization people learn to believe what is right, being that they have to make their mind up believing that it's the only right way to go about things!!!

Have you ever wanted to step out of the limitations? Maybe? PROBABLY not? Scared of rejection from the family? Or Friends? Or Your religious savior?

After answering these questions-----> Who would you be if you did all these things, and possibly thought for yourself and what you believed was right 100%. I honestly believe that this limitation is tearing our world apart... This misunderstanding that we are all thinking for ourselves... 

I had the opportunity to realize this at an early age and it struck my mind that maybe i should share it to some of my peers..... To the ones that I love and care about! To the ones that need to hear it, and possibly even the ones that don't need to hear it!

To get to the point, I believe that our world is conglomerate of many different beliefs! ( LIKE WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT) YES YES YES! Every one understands the concept, but do they understand the reasoning, and the pureness of the human race. Again this is caused by the sociological interpretation that this is right and this is wrong? People have no idea what is what, until experienced! Try new things, understand others for who they are, and what they think, for what they understand life to be, and what their missions are in life, for what they are ready to give up everything for! You see the picture?

Do you see the picture of ourselves in everyone else? Do you understand that when the world was created or some how shitted out of an old ass star, or created by some bearded man, or a fat bald man, it was created with the intention to be something that changes over time? That doesn't stay the same? That brings upon new life, and new people which then bring upon new things and beliefs *INCLUDING NEW WAYS OF LIFE*, and then in all a new earth over and over again! 

We are all the same on this earth, we are all the same creature, we are all the same people, if one kills it's because they learned it, if one sings it's because they learned it, if one reads, it's because they learned it, they learned that it was the right thing to do, they learned that it was the wrong thing to do..... Which is what our world evolves around.... It is this simple concept of understanding why we believe these things are wrong or right that of course split our world into several parts... Parts that we label and misunderstand, because we don't want anyone to deal with them, we believe by fighting them off we can get away from it in the future... 

There is no escape from the misunderstanding of the world, but one concept that one must grasp is to learn from one another and to develop your own reasoning, LISTEN and IGNORE THE MEDIA, IGNORE BUT LISTEN to THE PERSON WHO WRITES YOU OFF, BE YOURSELF! (BUT UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER).... As if you were born again, and were fresh, never socialized in this dirty world, be yourself for once and understand that the world will not change until people change! So is it time? Maybe it's not? But if So here i GO, If not Here i don't!!!!!

Misconceptions

Imagine facing something you have wanted for so long.... Imagine all that you have dreamed about being right in front of you, for you to grasp on. Imagine it calling your name, just daring you to chase it. Doesnt this sound like a regular wish, that then turns into a dream, that most of us never reach, but instead we filter the mind with excuses and misconceptions to explain why it never happened? You see i have experieced something of this type in a frequent manner, which in turn made me get use to the feeling.... Most importantly it is not that the dreams were never reached, but the question arose did i do everything to put my self in the position to conquer at least part of the dream. 

This question is probably with me everyday of my life, which gives me the drive that I have, the power to control most of my dreams gets tricky though. Because i recently had an incident where i did actually reach the dream..... I know I know you probably thinking what the hell is the problem then!!! 

Check this though!

--- What if you reached the dream, and you were right there, and then you figured out that the dream was actually something that should have never been a dream! Like the dream tells you that it doesn't want you to conquer all you can to get to the top of the dream it's self.

Yea this has actually happen to me, trying to find a way to deal with this situation is hard though... LIke what if it's just temporary and it actually does come through to be true, or what if i just mislead my self, or the dream mislead me! Interesting huh!

Imagine it like this, you have wanted something for a veryyy long time, and you finally get what you wanted, but you just dont get to grasp it for as long as you wanted, and it's taken away from you... Exactly.... Crazy aint it!!!

We all go through this in small ways all the time, but when it's at this magnitude it;s a crazy ass feeling, one that can make you wonder, if dreaming is worth while all the time we spend imagining what could be! 

I still will continue to dream, and love the way the mind can make you think that anything is possible...
Because truely that feeling of imagination is one of the greatest powers of emotion humans have...

and nothing is worth giving that up for!!!

Just wish maybe this one will come through for me in the long run!!!!!

"DONT ASK, DONT TELL" (REPEALING THE ONLY SILENT LAW IN U.S. HISTORY )


WHERE CAN I BEGIN...

I guess i can say I have bitter thoughts on this law, this way of life, the opposition in this law, the overall communication, and way of life this law created through the years of it's existence.

Let me begin by giving you a brief overview on this law..

Since the Truman era, and the discovery of homosexuals in the military, the United States Military began imposing the Universal Military Uniform Code of Justice, which gave way to imposing quick and direct dismissals to all homosexuals in the forces they were representing. No matter the training, position, or experience... THEY WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.

Through the years, Gay activism became main stream, and became something that was ever growing... The presidential eras after this were focused to making things better. At least thats what they claimed.  Nothing never happened.

This was until the Democrat President BILL CLINTON, was presented with the opportunity to make things a bit diverse, and easier for the homosexual community.  Although over turning the Military Code that had been standing through the past decades, Bill Clinton's administration came up with the idea of a way to be able to by pass the questions and tests to figure out if some one was homosexual, and give way for all people to serve in the military, under one circumstance.  "DONT ASK, DONT TELL"..

This consisted of the military being mandated by law, to not question any members of the United States military to ask for any personal information regarding sexual orientation, to enable them the opportunity to serve and protect.  This was in effect until this past week, when the law was erased, after much claimed research.

With over 13,300 discharges over the past 17+ years, this law has caused more detrimental repercussions to the United States military than ever before.. 

These are the issues I believe hurt our military forever, and most importantly what we represent, and how we come together to fight for freedom.....

We are still vividly discriminating, it was a problem with race color, and has always been, but now we have laws, we have ways that are wrong and right.. Our military was discriminating in front of our faces for half a decade, our founding fathers representation of a future for freedom, was altered, we were not free, we were at a stall.  Although I must say stalls are a way of life, we learn and we do things diffrent.  But this went on for to long. Most importantly the years in which it was in affect, shined light of our government and voters lack of communication with society, a part of society that is helpful in as many ways as any other segment of lifestyles, Gay or not gay, black or white, yellow or a fellow, male or she-male, life is not about what people think of you, it is about what you do, accomplishments, helpful attributes, the sharing and the giving of our citizens.  Our military was ignoring people because of things they could not physically prove was detrimental to our world, but instead they did it because it was not normal... 

WHAT IS NORMAL, GOING TO WAR OVER OIL, THE WORLD TRADE CENTERS COMING DOWN, POVERTY, LACK OF EDUCATION, NO JOBS...

IS THAT WHAT WE THINK IS NORMAL??

Nothing is normal, everything we think is a conception of what we think is really life, but at the end of the day, we do not control life, life is everlasting until you die, then it's on to the next one.

We hurt our future generations, as now they have misconceptions of what is real, what is right, and ethical.  Disabling the people that build our nation and work for the american dream, never the less fight for us, is one of the saddest things we have ever done as a free nation.

We have made our economy even worse, by taking away people that could have worked for us with no problem.

I truly believe that the repeal of this law, has shined light on the major changes that the Obama administration is trying to make, although he was left with more problems than any other recent president, he is making moves to make sure our nation can be smarter, more lovable, and one that can be trusted, as truly being free...

As this law has effected people dire close to me, and I know many can say the same, now everyone can defend our nation, which should have been the case since day one.  I mean the question I leave my readers with is, would you want to fight for a nation that has placed restrictions such as these, and now are reversing them, because recent studies have proved other wise?  Sounds fishy right... Remember that everything here in America is ran by us... Well wait... Is IT? HMMM

Lets fight this madness, because Im sure no one would want restrictions places against their beliefs.  We are not to be under the sanctions of the government, we are not to be told that we cannot speak for ourselves, and be who we want to be.. We will not be spared of our human rights, our amendments, our freedom, our LIVES..
