You won't believe what she did...and neither did I...

You just won't believe it....why?...you'll find out soon...or even why is there a cow at the bottom of this blog?....

At least that is what you are meant to believe. And we click the magical link and AWAY WE Go.....off on the magical internet adventure to uplifting stories or things of utter shock and horror. 

But it's phrases like these that catch people's attention! 

I have a bit of fun for you. Take a moment and stand on a busy street corner with high traffic. (in more rural areas this might not be possible) Go to a fairgrounds or any place where you expect noise and just calmly say "Blah Blah Blah" It's amazing the results. Maybe you expect that people will turn their heads towards you. I just love the attention.
Now I could bore you with loads of marketing schemes and ideas you can take out of the "blah blah blah" scenario. I have a simpler point to make to you. 

You are wanted...

Desired.   well at least your money is...

There are people out there that are paid a large lump of money to figure out what you are thinking, what you might like to do on a Sunday afternoon, and more importantly how to get your attention without making it seem like "I'm going to steal your money and your soul."

And everyone is a sucker to someone. One of my favorite funny phrases about marketing specifically in the area of "conning people into buying something" is "I LOVE ROBIN MARKS"

While I personally don't love Robin Marks, there are millions of people who do.

"Marks" are suckers, normal people who can fall for a bit. 

"Robin" is short for "Robbing" 

"I love robbing suckers"

While I don't agree with the principle...the line is clever.

But now a days, maybe we aren't cheated out of anything more than time and we happen to be okay with that. The Whole world is fighting for you attention, but let's be honest...they already have it. And while week long netflix binges can be fun, or youtube marathons, gaming for hours, couponing, blogging, reading books for hours, can be perfectly fun. THERE IS A WHOLE WORLD OF UNIMAGINABLE POSSIBILITIES. There are things left to explore more than the edges of a minecraft map, or the end of a video series, etc. Don't be left a mark to the great long play con of the world....immediate gratisfaction and sedation. And as long as you're happy, feeling like you've accomplished something today (no matter how insignificant or imaginary) you won't care about a world falling apart around you tiny bits at a time. 

You have skills, gifts, traits that are undeniably strong with you. Don't let the whole of the world distract you from the things you can really do. 

Or more so, Don't let the world convince you that you are talented in one way or to chase talents that society thinks is "too legit." There are too many possibilities and too many good things left to be done to let them all squander away. Just a thought for you.

We have a responsibility to use the talents we have, I mean...it would be like being a cow and never using it's udders....which would be udderly ridiculous. 

Give some milk today, use your natural talents and push past the society drawing you away.

Be...out-standing in your field. 

Toodles!

Change and Equality

The world is a crazy place that is in constant change. Much like Douglas Adams' "Hagunenon," it seems the world around us tries to shift to achieve some sort of goal, form of justice, idealism. And when they have achieved it, the world has somehow alienated or blockaded someone else's form of social justice, ideology ..etc. So where are we left? Does it really matter where are left as long as we stay standing up? Is standing something that we are doing or are we laying down on air whilst simultaneously pushing down on the ground really hard with our feet? Questions we must consider before we can really move on to get some sort of tangible grip on reality (or that which we call reality anyway) Equality is impossible, socially speaking. And so social justice cannot exist because in a room where everyone has a differing view of the rules to the game of life, monopoly rules don't apply, there's no book of rules every people seems to all agree on as a firm truth. She gets 200 for passing go while He get 4000 and a book signing for getting out of jail free. It goes back to "you can't make everyone happy." So I suggest to all of you, get invested into the "poster board and sign" business because without a doubt, in a democracy, as one group finally gets a chance to change the old rules, another group of people who happen to like the old rules, and another group who happen to think that they should get a chance to get new rules because, the first group had a chance (after all its only fair..) will set out buying more signs and making more noise about something altogether new and so on. But we can't just stop this, it's impossible to stop this cycle because again various versions of truth, beauty, life, flavors of tea, favorite colors, and such keep people from ever agreeing. I feel that the best way we can really bring this whole situation down is to form a dictatorship, something horrible and nasty. Throw in words like "communist" and "militaristic", set to boil for 15-20 years and voila, everyone is equally miserable. So much is their misery that the minor bickering between them on what colors the wall should be really don't matter because they both agree this dictator is a really bad guy. And you know what happens when you get your rights taken away? You get all that's left....get it? See it's a sort of pun....Yes. Let me take you back now to a few minutes ago when you were reading about "equality is impossible." 1+1=2 unless in human intercourse where 1+1=[1,8] due to the random nature of humanity. At no point can there be a firm grasp on equality. NOT THAT I AM SAYING THAT WE SHOULDN'T STRIVE FOR IT.... But just know that somewhere else in this grand universe...we fail to give equal rights to someone else in a relatively similar situation.
