Airport Security Scores Again

I’m late to post about this story, but for those of you who have not heard, there was a 30 year old man named Brad Jayakody who was stopped in a London airport (by security) for wearing a shirt with a transformer on it that was holding a gun. He was told that he could not fly until he changed his shirt. WOW! Thank you homeland security. You guys are really focusing your time and resources on the real dangers in life. I feel much more comfortable knowing that on the front lines of the defense against air travel terrorism are these genius security teams protecting us from t-shirts.

As if it is not bad enough that we take so much crap from the only games in town when it comes to long distance travel (the airlines), now we can’t wear shirts with cartoons on them? What a joke. If this is not the twilight zone yet, it will be soon.

As you will see in this photo of the detained passenger, Brad Jayakody, this shirt was obviously an extreme security threat.

Are Hollywood Celebrities Serious?

For individuals like Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Paul Walker, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and the rest of the ridiculous VIP list who claim to be “actors”, my question is this: Are these people serious? Are they joking when they appear in public and wave to audiences while blaring their corny smiles and arrogant walks in their designer uniforms? (don’t call me a hater damnit) But do they whole heartedly believe in their own hype, and as in hook, line, and sinker? Or do they just do it for show? Please tell me it is just for show, please.

And when they are interviewed talking about their latest “film” (translation: terrible and unoriginal remake) that they do simply for the money, which I can’t blame them for, are they actually serious about saying the new project is exciting and the greatest thing ever? Do they actually think these films are quality? Are they serious when comparing these new crap films to the old classics such as The GodFather, Casablanca, StarWars, Citizen Cane, or the several Kubrik (RIP) masterpieces that had surfaced throughout the past decades?

Someone please tell me…ARE THEY BEING SERIOUS? Has Hollywood finally lost its mind for good? These “stars” are more of a joke than any other group of celebrities on the globe, and to add insult to injury, they claim to know what is best for the world. Hell, some of them are even involved with the U.N. (unfortunately that was probably one of the better moves the U.N. has made this century). But I digress; I just want to meet one of these people behind the scenes, with no cameras, no video, and just ask them… ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I won’t mind if they are just pretending. Sometimes I pretend. I know I am nothing…do they realize that deep down they are nothing too?

Propaganda to Silence Gas Price Complaints

We received an email today with the same propaganda nonsense that we get about twice a year, which basically suggests that as Americans we should simply shut up about gas prices being so high since there are other countries paying higher prices. So apparently if there are any injustices or issues of extortion going on in our country, we should simply ignore those issues or compare them to other global problems before making a fuss at all. Yeah well, I for one am still not buying this garbage.

The subject of the email was: “Why Europe thinks we are crybabies”. I love the term “why Europe”, as if Europe is some group entity or a person who is judging “us” and should dictate what we view as a problem. Can you say “permission slip”? But I must admit, propaganda still works and we all eat it up one spoon full at a time.

We Don’t Own Money, Money Owns Us

Every day I realize how money owns me. 95% of the things I do are directly as a result of money. It makes me say or do things that I would not naturally say or do. It makes me want things that I honestly really do not care about. And it makes me value a future that I do not necessarily need or really desire in my heart. It makes me pursue careers or talents that I really don’t have any care for. Now the reality is that this is just life, but it is an interesting reality. All these years I thought that money was obtainable, but the truth is that we are obtainable for money, and we will say or do just about anything to please it.

I think it’s pretty funny that we actually believe our accomplishments and salaries actually mean anything.  We are in fact pretty insignificant and forget that we can lose things in the blink of an eye. And without the concept of compassion and giving, we are truly NOTHING.  If it were not for family, friends, loved ones, or even strangers around us who constantly give us something whether it be time, money, assistance, advice, etc… we would literally have and be nothing. Life is not all about talents, status, cash flow, fashion, or how well you can do things, but is more about how much we are willing to GIVE to others. Especially when are so blessed ourselves.  Wake up.

Starbucks Indonesia

I found this photo around the web and they claim it is a bootleg Starbucks coffe shop somewhere in Indonesia. If anyone knows the exact location, let me know because I wanna go. This is awesome.

The sad thing about this is that Americans would still walk in this place and ask for a “tall hot mocha java latte with skim soy milk and ginger spice on the side”.

Made Up Expenses in the U.S.A.

My mentors always told me that society would eventually find a way to profit from a humans death, but I never believed it….until now.

Am I the only one who is noticing these ridiculous and imaginary costs that pop up all over the place and simply make no sense? Things we should simply NOT be paying for or simply paying less for. What the hell are we paying taxes for anyway? Where is this money going? Is it for the cops to work harder to give out speeding tickets, or catch j-walkers in the act, or keep us safe from kids who skateboard on sidewalks perhaps?

As a perfect example of a ridiculous and made up expense, I was reminded today that people actually have to pay for something called a “marriage license”. Are you f**king kidding me? A piece of paper from the government that says it is now acceptable to get married? This is ridiculous. Is this a free country or a shake down? It’s just an example of a made up expense and we have plenty of them. It is all nonsense that we conjure up out of thin air and charge people for, when in reality we cannot justify the ridiculous cost. We sit around with all of our possessions, which are not enough, and then imagine more ways to rip each other off for expenses that make no sense whatsoever.

I’m not just blaming “the powers that be”, I am blaming all of us. We are all becoming ignorant and selfish morons who are filled with greed. We would actually stop a funeral if the bill was not paid. This is not freedom, this is not justice, this is not life, this is not compassion. This is insanity.

People wake up. I don’t think we should not pay for anything, but I do think we have not lost our minds and can stop making up fake expenses that put hard working people in more of a jam than they already are.

Society won’t get anything from me but a middle finger. Do it yourself and stop listening to lies.

Because They Said So

We form many of our opinions, traditions, routines, and beliefs on the simple principle of “because they said so”. Think about it, when is the last time you researched facts on important issues for yourself? And I mean actual research that goes deeper than reading one random blog (like this garbage). And not just from listening to the banter coming from some Lego-haired and gaudy news anchor, or from your gossip lipped co-workers who can’t handle their own issues in life, but have the key to solving the entire worlds problems. It’s all a bunch of nonsense and I’m sick and tired of it. Sick and tired. Did you get that?

I’m sick of people always doing exactly what they are expected to do and without questioning anything. I mean, they question things, but still within their boundaries and guidelines. For example, instead of considering the candidates for Republican, Democratic, or even Independent parties, why aren’t we questioning whether or not ANY of these morons are qualified to run this country. Every thought of that? We simply accept what we think is popular, because “they” said it was. We’re going through the motions, supporting what is known, listening to what is popular, and what is broad casted in the mainstream. It must be somewhat accurate right…they said it in the media… well screw the media. It’s only there to fit someones interest and it revolves around hearsay and hype. Why stay in the same box and never attempt to learn about point of views that may not be convenient for us to listen to.

People are painfully predictable these days. If someone leans right in their opinions, they listen to everything fed from the right. If they lean left, they buy up all the propaganda from the left. If someone is undecided, they don’t listen to anything at all, but use their time to complain instead of forming a damn opinion and establishing a new choice for their society.

I say there is always a new choice, and it begins with common sense. Take every situation with a grain of salt and research it for yourself. Don’t just read one book on a subject, read several books. Don’t just meet one person from a different culture, meet several people. Don’t settle for one radio station with your favorite like minded ideas, listen to them all and you will hear that much of it has the same agenda.

The want you to believe that you need to stand in line and support the popular groups in life. That’s a bunch of bullsh**. You are the future and you can decide what happens every day. It’s never been about the majority, it has always been about the choices YOU make as an individual and the decisions everyone can control in their daily lives.
