Randomness about the world, about others, about anything and everything. My mind is a never ending labyrinth of sense and nonsense.
We, government and citizens, do not take care of our soldiers. Our veterans. We ask them to do things and make sacrifices that we are afraid to do in dreams. Dreams we call nightmares.
We yank the alcohol from hands and replace it with a gun. Saying “Defend”. Back home and battle worn, we yank the gun out of their hands and replace it with alcohol. Saying “Deal”.
We need to do better.
The only way forward is together. When we continue to lift and separate by the color of our skin, the roots of our ancestors, and even attributes of monetary value, we are simply repeating history. Nothing new. Nothing revolutionary. Quite boring, trite and close minded to be honest. But when we lift all. Together. As one. Value placed on kindness, truth, and character. Unselfish love. That’s when we will truly move forward. That is where revolution is. That is where bravery lives and a bright future for all lies.
Where are the journalists when you need corrupt judges, their corrupt children along with their corrupt attorneys to be exposed? Where are the upright lawyers and investigators who take cases on like this?
I can tell you where they are not. They are not in Shamrock TX, Wheeler TX, Pampa TX, Eric OK, Amarillo TX nor anywhere close to the Texas Panhandle.
I warn ANYONE interested in dating or becoming friends with anyone who is affiliated with the court systems of the Texas Panhandle to THINK TWICE. If they decide they hate you, your life as you know it is over. You have absolutely no recourse. The system is EXTREMELY corrupt and nepotism runs RAMPANT in the Texas Panhandle Legal System.
Apparently you can be a District Court Judge in the Texas Panhandle with your residence being in Oklahoma. Did you know that? Just buy a house and put your name on it. Have someone turn lights on every now and then. BAM you live in Texas and can be a Texas judge where rules and laws do not apply to you not your family!
The world has been here before… Pandemics and war and fear of wars… Leaving some behind and forcing others forward… There’s nothing new of today… The world has been here before…
It is not an excuse to be complacent but a reason to breathe… Nothing positive is accomplished with fear and anxiety… So take a deep breath and pray…
The only thing you have control over is what you see in front of you… So leave the world to your prayers and work where you see…
Overtime and with hindsight we will see how we move… Slowly forward with a few steps back because there is nothing new the world hasn’t seen…
If you need a reminder, put Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” 1989 and dance out your stress out like no one is watching you.
Dear Veterans,
I won’t lie and say I understand the pain, the anger, the despair… But I know others who do… As my mother tells me “This is reminiscent of Vietnam” and I’ve listened to the stories of those who were there… So please, as your wounds are reopened, reach out to those who’ve walked this path before…
A Vietnam vet, as I said thank you, told me thank you but it didn’t matter… That is not true… Because you do matter and what you did matters… And we must always have you, the soldier… During peace time and wars…
So as I say thank you I ask that you please take care of you and know that you mattered then and you matter now.
With love, gratitude and respect,
Me
Dear Afghanistan People,
We see you. We are praying for you. You are not invisible and unimportant. Our hearts hurt with yours.
With love, myself and many others
To all developed country’s governments and the Taliban,
SHAME. Absolute shame on all of you. You play your chess games out of greed, ignorance and cowardice at the expense of all other humans. SHAME.
With disgust, myself and many others
It is not the white man… It is not religion… In general, humans have a memory of 300 years past and look approximately only 100 years in the future… What it is is greed… Every country has a native people… Every country was built by slaves and the lowest class… North America is always heavily under the microscope because it is the baby of all countries… And that’s the broadest humans, in general, think in regards to time…
We should be lifting us, mankind, up all as one… Push forward with unity and not division in the likes of BLM and AAPI… Push forward lifting kindness, truth and love… Not riots, screaming and pointing fingers… Acknowledge that truth is no political party has the answer, no ethnicity is king or queen over another, truth isn’t “your truth” but it is THE TRUTH… And take a good look at one another and see one another as family, friend.. Not needing to agree on all things but wanting to live in harmony with one another… Harmony is a flow of many different ideas vibing in unison towards the goal of peace and love…
Find similarities and come together… Celebrate differences… Unite as ONE against greed, hate and ignorance. This is the only way forward.
The good: 1. provide ONE form of photo identification which will be verified against state database. In English: they want to make sure you are you, you are a citizen AND you are alive. The argument is the voter card should be enough and it is difficult for some to get a photo ID. This is untrue. One cannot obtain a voter card without already posssessing a photo ID. If you have your voter card, then you have a photo ID. Where I work an election, this will never happen. Our ID protocol and our adherence to said protocol is strict. I even ID my family. Someone stealing your vote DOES HAPPEN. The media silences this. 2. No mass mail out ballots and strict absentee/mail out ballot guidelines. Did you know that there are registered voters who are actually dead? That means with auto mail out ballots to registered voters the following scenario is possible: A residence receives mail in ballot of former tenant who has passed away. They are then able to vote twice if they happen to be dishonest or fully convicted in their political views. There was an interview with a woman, race and election not I’m not saying, and in her interview she said “I voted several times. As many times as I could for my man. I want him in.”
The bad: 1. Limiting polling stations and polling hours. While it is difficult to find people to work an election,that is not an excuse. Fighting against that is asinine and does prevent citizens from their right to vote. It’s simply anti-American. We can and should do better in this area.
The idk: I do not know enough about the drive through voting stations to form an opinion. I do know that I cherish my right to vote. If I have to stand in a line for hours, then that’s what I will do. If I don’t want to, then I will follow the protocol for absentee/mail in voting.
Why is this important? Voting is a right and it is a fragile one… It NEEDS to be protected… Do not let mass media distractions, social media screams and your political party view distract you from that basic fact… Protect your vote and your right to vote… Would you want someone creating debt, committing crimes, using your name for anything other than what YOU wanted? No. So why do we slowly give our right to vote away so easily?
It’s not a Republican/Democrat issue. Neither party has an unbiased plan for voters and voting rights. To me, that is unAmerican. And I’m sick of their games.
There’s always truth in a conspiracy… And denial and choice ignorance in those who laugh at conspiracy theories… The problem is how much truth and how much is a person willing to choose ignorance…
With life, as with running and yoga, when you start to hurt, feel unsteady, or fall, check your form…
Check your feet… Have a strong foundation and build strong roots…
Check your heart… Relax your shoulders from your ears and send your heart out towards the sky… Anchor your heart in goodness, kindness and all things of Light…
Head up and lifted towards the heavens… Focus your thoughts on truth and integrity…
Slow down and breathe… Find your center… The journey is just as important, if not more so, than the finish line.
