Time takes Time

  As with anything, time takes time. As much as I want to figure out a bunch of things about myself and life, time takes time.

  In old habits I found that if I would fail at something a lot of the times I just stopped doing it and writing myself off as a failure. Easy to do with my esteem issues, and a big cop out on experiences like working through stuff, and working with people. That was a big part of the fear I used to screw up a good portion of my life. I could see that I was a failure at so much, I just couldn't let others see it. Like alcohol, I could be a raving alcoholic, I just couldn't let others see it. They were just alike, everyone knew I was an alcoholic, and most knew I was a failure as well.
  In new habits I am letting the failures in a lot more. Not turning my back with every little pitfall and downer thought. Taking my writing back to my home here and in my books more and more. Yes, I read my articles again I know they all sound like the same Barry Manilow tune. Yes all my songs are horribly similar, my poetry mundane. It seems I may know how to write, but I only know how to write something one way. It has to be depressing after a short amount of time.
  So Time takes time and maybe I just need to take some and figure out a little bit more. This coming around and awakening crap at my age is great and all, but man it sucks at times. I just got done explaining to some folks that I don't take praise well. So they offer me a bunch of praise, which I am grateful for, but at the same time prove that much of it is just coddling. That doesn't seem right either when someone is trying to find some hard answers. So there has been a ghosting going on again, I will just gradually vanish and think about what I have learned. I know this birthday thing here in a few weeks is getting to me too. I feel I have such a rich life inside, a wife, two loving cats and a family that loves me. I don't have much of anything else though, no real friends, no real ties to anything else and a real disconnection at times to the rest of the world. I can't blame anyone, I brought this on myself, but you only turn 50 once. No matter what changes I may go through in the future, I wont get to go back to this, and that is the sad part. This is a time of change I guess, change takes time, and time takes time. In this case quite literally.

America - I'm Lovin' It!

Welcome to America.... Can I take Your Order? As this week begins, I am reminded again that the events and results from the previous year are trying to push themselves into this one. We are just short of that time when we permanently scar the buttocks of the nation with an asterisk and a question mark. When we hand over the government to those who wish to erode it away. Globalism made to order for a few, the people still a commodity being traded away in the most covert and overt of manners. I have written about the outright antagonism that the Russians have engaged in, the voting and manipulation of the American psyche. Breaking in to C-Span, dogging our cyber security and basically just laughing at us, we apparently are not going to do anything. There are others involved in this as well including our pals the Israelis, if there was a closer tie to another Super Power in this world we would be closer to China, but the Russians are working on them as well, so here we are....

With Slings of David

I have had this title sitting up here since November 10th. I had no idea what it was supposed to mean, though I didn't get rid of it for some reason. Was it some part of an idea or concept that already escaped me? Or one that was yet to fully come into clarity? I have no idea where this block is originating from, but it's reach feels somewhat gigantic. Mercury in retrograde may be a part of it, or an inner tornado of bile that won't settle down with the best meds around. Maybe it is just a huge denial system that got kick started like an atomic bomb? Maybe it is a huge realization and a betterment of my perceptions? Maybe it is a grief of mourning for what I once thought I knew, not only about my country, but about people as well? I don't know what to call it because it has not yet made itself clear enough to me. Thus I pick up the pen, or in this case keyboard and walk my way through this. It must have needed a crisp New Year, a new perspective to get something out...

Clinton and the Cosby Effect - America's New Judiciary

   There is a systematic dismantlement going on in America. It is not our infrastructure, our politics or our morals. It is in our basic judiciary, our justice system, in our beliefs. With this new found voice that the common person has found online, a step back in our social evolution is taking place. On every page and with every keystroke the entirety of our existence is being argued about, heralded and flat out lied about. That is the freedom we have in this country, we get to lie with impunity, we get to pull things like a Stretch Armstrong to make our points, make us right, make us feel justified.   No matter what your thoughts are about the guilt or innocence of Bill Cosby and the allegations against him, this is true. The man has not been convicted, the man has not been tried by a jury of his peers, this dismantling of the person has been done by the media and social media alone. That much is very clear to me when I take everything else off of the table. The same...
