Wild Wild West

This may come as a surprise, but the West calls to me. Any damsel in distress will be out of the dress when she meet D West, cause that's the Quest.

Today's blog was really for people that know of me. (^-^)

The internet

Holds quite a few items of interest: found a business created by someone dear to me.

Praise

I nearly threw up....thank goodness.

Be careful what you search for on youtube. Also should note: something is here.

I also feel that this was appropriate back in the early to mid 2000's and still is valid (maybe a little less). Can we kick them (all) out? I mean really what are we getting?

We are so much more.

I'm a lucky one. So lucky.

Is it irony?

Is it irony?

That a man spoke in 1908 and his words still hold weight to our situations now. Is it ironic, that all throughout History we have seen wise men and women speak, write, or otherwise and it is something that still holds true today?

Perhaps we need to move forward learning from these past wisdoms. We are constantly on the precipice of History and with these continuing advances in technology and our global world we can make it happen. Our list is endless from people that we can choose and our desires remain almost unchanging. I seek to move forward for we are in a brave new world.

Also acknowledgment to Murakami Haruki-san. I tip my hat to you sir.

Suspicious?

So is it suspicious that multiple cities moved in, at roughly the same time frame to remove Occupy Movements in overnight raids? I think a key word could be "raid". I get the defense of sanitation being an issue, but I didn't know pepper spray and batons were appropriate responses to uncleanliness.

Also a little disappointed in American Foreign Policy, both in the Pacific sector: Obama spoke in favor of the Pacific Free-Trade pac, because NAFTA has worked so well, and then just yesterday (time frame?) "subtly" threatening China: "The US is a Pacific power." Yes because diplomacy and working to ensure stability in the region has failed. You know instead of insuring peaceful collaboration between Japan, Taiwan, the Koreas, and many other countries in the region; we've got to assert that our dicks are huge and can in fact (like the Great Wall) be seen from space.

To my friends in China (and Japan, Korea, and the rest East Asia): I'm sorry that it's got to be a pissing contest. Please China just turn the other cheek! I know the U.S. is being a bully, but just continuing developing your technology and working with the Asian powers in the region (hell you want to be a dick back? Work Russia into a little deal, nothing major, but just a little shot across the bow (if you will)). Just be the "bigger person"....Please?

*Sigh*

Solace

Just in case you missed it, the world is spinning.
Erase all that you know, because it may seem so slow.
Surprised because your cake batter is low?
Should you be worried because the light is just a glimmer?
Isolation can be good for you, and for me, but at times I find it maddening.
Might I persuade you to join my on a trip?
Absolutely unsure of our destination, but I can assure you it'll be good and you'll thank me in the near future.
Yes, even I wonder where we will begin and end.

Or will it even end...?

I am thankful for every single berry I enjoy.
It can be said that I will enjoy a trip down memory lane, but just as soon be recalled to Fukuoka.
There is no greater treasure especially in the minds of babes, than a mom.
You will challenge me to a duel, but we will be left in Tahiti.
Why do you scribble these pens, do you seek your winnings?
Could it be that we've already beaten this loss?
I will wait till we eat, and rejoice.
Can we still use the word Raj?

300 + 100

Yay, this very little corner of the internet has reach 400+ views. Not much, but I'll take it.

Please keep in mind that Love is such a wonderful and important thing in our lives.

Sweet!

400 views, slowly but surely!

Let's get to 10k by May 2012, hah.

Occupiers

There seems to be a popular discourse in the United States against Social Assistance. To me this is mind boggling because it's a basic need of helping people. I feel in some regards that the Occupy movement is a slap in the face to most of the rest of the World. I am glad that there seems to be some major Global Support (please come to show solidarity, Mr. Lech Walsea of Poland). With the standard of living so high in the United States it does feel like a possible whining, but some of these problems extend beyond the States border, and I don't understand what the issue with helping folks really seems to be? Many countries in the world have "Socialized" programs that assist their people. Sure the U.S. has medicaid, medicare, and plenty of social programs to benefit people in need, but how do we not have education and health care? We also have people who are starving in this great nation of ours. But I digress...
We jump at the chance to help people in times of crisis (ie - Hurricanes generally solicit this type of reaction), how is/are people being undereducated, not having clean water, limited or no access to real food (or any food), and not having access to medicines (or any real preventative medical/health care) not considered a crisis? How is the fact that an estimated 80% of the people in the world live in some form of poverty with roughly 1/6 of the world living in absolute poverty not considered a crisis worthy of assistance?
This may be difficult to swallow for some, but this is a global community. Canada and Mexico, you are my neighbors, but people of Japan, Iran, Turkey, Ireland, Libya, Congo you are my brothers and sisters*. The longer we continue pretending it isn't, or that there has to be a number one country, the longer we go without addressing these very serious problems and the longer we continue killing the absolute shit out of each other. I say fuck that, let's Occupy.


*Note- My International Brothers and Sisters also extend to many other countries like Sweden, Denmark, Thailand, South Korea, England, Italy, Colombia, Russia, and pretty much every other country on the map. Except maybe Antarctica, fuck those guys with their never ending tuxedos and happy feet, although they do have Orcas...but no fuck those guys!

November

Let's do some celebrating.

This time, reward ourselves.

Getting naked will be fun. I promise.

What more can we say? It's going to be a community effort.
